Riding off into the beautiful countryside with a few bumps along the way!
I adore this series. It's a very lovely drama and Fame and Fluke are both wonderful as Tawan and Mork respectively. Also, Mork (Fluke) has the cutest smile, and oh, that one dimple of his, it's so memorizing.
It's a little funny - the dimples - because in the novel, Tawan is the one who has the dimples - can't remember how Mork describe them in the novel. But I'm not complaining about that at all.
Anyway, let's get back to the review. One thing I really enjoy about this series is the simplicity. It's basically just two people falling for each other over the course of time. There's nothing too special or too outlandish about it. So if you're looking for a hot, steamy romance, or something with a bit more flair, this might not be for you. It's very sweet and very cute, but it's a very slow build romance, and the most you get is a kiss or two. And very simple, chaste kisses, too.
I'd recommend checking it out, though! While I love this series, I think there are a few things that I think needed a bit more work. I think the Boss/Toy story, while cute, needed a bit more time in order to develop that story fully. It's not bad but it also feels like it's a bit incomplete.
And Nadia and Mayom, I like them, but I feel something was missing there. Not sure what. It just felt something else was needing, like a missing link to tie back everything nicely together. But this might be due to me reading the novel...
One last thing I would say is that the P'Por/Tawan's storyline might have dragged on for most people. But honestly, it's like that in the novel. Though, Por seems a bit meaner toward Tawan here than in the novel.
All in all, I think this one is definitely worth a watch. But do understand that Tawan is very inexperienced when it comes to love and such, and he is very innocent, so he tends to have an idealistic view on love. If this is something you can't get behind, this might not be for you (trust me, this comes up a lot in this show!). And Mork does question his feelings for a bit, not because he's ashamed or anything, it's just because he's new at this (falling for another man; also a common theme in the novel) and is processing everything. Other than that, I'd say give it a try! This cast is stellar!
Let us ride off into that sweet marshmallow-y sunset with Tawan and Mork together, shall we? Who knows maybe dimples - or one outstanding dimple - will be waiting for us on the other end.
