A Love So Questionable

In all honesty, I'm surprised I watched the whole thing. I mostly finished it for Neo, and the visuals. I was excited for this, especially since I love Prim, and would love to see her with a different on screen partner, but my expectations must've been too high. I'm not going to compare this to any of the other adaptations. Why? Because I haven't seen any of them. Therefore, this is a honest review from someone that didn't know how the story went, and just watched it without any knowledge. That being said, I may not have the best opinion because I haven't seen any of the other adaptations, therefore, I can't compare them on how good any of them are.

The cast was great mostly, but it's just the fact that the storytelling wasn't great. I love Prim, whether it's for her acting or just for the actor, and I'd love to see her in a lot more, especially Romance, but this.. this was not it. Dew just has a stiff face with his acting. I doubt that's just how the character is. I've only seen Dew in one other thing, and that was F4 Thailand. He seemed to have pretty good expressions, although I don't remember it too much since I watched it last June, but it seems that in his more recent dramas, it hasn't been too well. I don't want to criticize his acting too much, but honestly he needs some acting classes to fix those expressions.

I'm not going to get too in depth with the story, for the fact that I have not seen how it is in other adaptations so the story could just be like that. But, I just want to say it didn't feel hooking. About half the series, 9 episodes I'm pretty sure, it takes place of Som-o in high school, and the rest of it is her in college and the adult life. I don't know if it's just the chemistry or the way the last few episodes were, but I just felt bored.

I felt little chemistry. I don't know if it's because I've seen Prim and Dew with a different pairing that I didn't feel the chemistry like the other pairings, but I just felt like they were awkward. Aren't they like childhood friends? So why would they be awkward with each other? Maybe that's just how the story is, but that's doubtful.

In all, this felt dragging. I didn't feel any fun with it during the last 4-6 episodes. The relationship was confusing to me, especially with the proposal with the second lead, like, I didn't even know they were together. I really wanted to finish it to see who would be end game, but in the end, I wish I wouldve dropped it.

The only thing good in this show is the high school life and Khao & News relationship. Wouldn't recommend to someone with high expectations.
