After great SOTUS I wanted to check other Thai dramas hoping that they would be just as good. I decided to try this one because 1) it's only 6 episodes long; 2) the actor who plays Pick also starred in SOTUS. I didn't really payed much attention to him in SOTUS, but he stole my heart as a person in the special episode. His roles as Bright in SOTUS and Pick in Puppy Honey are quite similar. It seems to me that he's just being himself, but I don't mind it at all. I find the Pick character pretty interesting anyway; he's funny and oblivious. As for other lead characters, I like them as well. Porsche is such a cutie and his reactions to Pick & Rome's interactions are priceless. Emma's assertiveness was the first thing that drew my attention to her. She's quite independent. Rome may be my least favourite lead in this season (I still like him though!). He's too pliant. But I like that he's a person who just happens to be gay. No "I know it's weird, you're a guy, I'm a guy" bullshit. Rome knows what he wants. And good for him! Couples' chemistry is on point. It also applies to their friendships. I find Porsche & Pick's relationship so precious. I wouldn't mind more of them together. I also like Emma & Rome's dynamic, in which Rome is the more submissive one. But he also supports Emma when it comes to her fear of dogs. They're lovely together. The plot isn't complicated. The series is cute, funny and light-hearted, so I'm just ignoring aspects I find a little far-fetched. I was surprised how much enjoyed it. The show consists of only six episodes, but they managed to fit in enough scenes for the plot to develop. I liked those small little things that show character's or couple's development (ex. Pick's attitude toward drinking from the same vessel as Rome). Innuendos are also appreciated. However, in my opinion, they should definitely work on the angles in kissing scenes if actors are not willing to actually kiss/can't act it out. (Seriously, the kissing scene left me confused as I didn't know if it counted as a kiss or almost a kiss.) They also overdid the sound effects, though I like the use of music for comedic purposes. It's not the show in which you discover something new every time you watch it, but I'd watch it once again anyway. It's short and sweet, and not demanding. There are a few obstacles that characters have to overcome, but it's nothing serious. I know many people watched it just for BL, but without Porsche & Emma's storyline, there would be no Pick & Rome's. So give them a chance! They deserve it.
