gave more than expected (but maybe not enough?)
I picked this up thinking it would be just a light watch as I was getting bored,
but surprisingly it actually hooked me
the acting wasn’t top-notch, but it wasn’t bad either, most the actors gave exactly what was expected of their characters without taking away the spotlight of the other characters…
the show gave you enough to watch to keep watching and the over exaggeration that’s expected from Thai dramas too adding a more light tone overall and a comedic twist
the separate relationships between the characters was dealt with well too (romantic, platonic, parental etc)
However, I think with a longer run/ or even within 6 episodes, the more dystopian side could be explored, I think it was slightly brushed off how the societies normality wasn’t equal between men and women but no one had any issue with it until the last point (which was shown with the revolt at the end and almonds character showing how integrated the regime was). Also there was no true resolvement apart from the couples
(but there is a possibility for a season two)
overall it was a good watch if not deeply interpreted and taken more on face value with a hint of more complex details.
