Should have been half the length
My individual ratings only added up to 5.5, but the overall rating I have given this show was a generous 7. I liked the concept, I liked several of the scenes, but it was all brought up by the unnecessary dragging on of the plot - if they had allowed the story to progress at a reasonable pace, it would have been an enjoyable mini series!
Instead I just had to fast forward through many of the scenes since it was just mcdonalds ads and the writing treading water.
Things I liked:
- Nuea's character: I really enjoyed his personality, he was confident and strong, his character made sense to me, his actor was also better than Sailom's
- Sex scenes: these were fun! it actually looked like the characters were into each other and enjoying themselves, these were fun to watch
Best scenes:
- Sailom's breakdown: when he cried after Nuea told he would be on his side, this actually felt so real and touching - it was easy to imagine how lonely and alone it the world he had been feeling up to that point, having to hide such a huge part of himself.
- Nuea's family accepting Sailom, this came after the previous scene, which gave it so much more weight
- The mom fight: I actually found this hilarious, they both embarrassed themselves and it was great
Cons:
- The plot: did I just miss it or did the story not even try and give a realistic reason for why Sailom had to hide the truth from Nuea?? Like he was just making things difficult for himself, and awful for Nuea for no reason. This just really dragged the whole thing down
- Sound effects: it's just really not my style, but it's just matter of preference I guess, I don't think these were objectively bad necessarily
- Sailom's character: the only other MAME show I have seen is Love in the air, and from that I'd guess this is a very stereotypical character for her that she likes. I don't. If Nuea was a breath of fresh air, Sailom was the opposite.
