Was this funded by the plastic surgery industry?
This wouldn't be bad if the main plot wasn't so offensive. What's wrong with being 50 years old? If the message is age doesn't matter, they should have cast 50 yo actresses.
The message I got is that if you want to date a younger man (in their 30's) when you're older, you need to look like you're in your early 20's or like a teenager and that 50yo can't have hopes and dreams or do certain types of jobs. That's the patriarchy on steroids teaching very young girls who watch this show that they're only valid while they look extremely young.
People should look their age. There should be more representation of older women in the media.
And plastic surgery is not a youth elixir.
Now about the rest of the show:
Considering the type of show, it was good. It was Thai comedy but not over the top. There were some funny parts, especially with Satta, the boss and Pop Purim. It was a funny dynamic.
I'm afraid Jimmy ruined the word daddy even more for me but he was funny and so out of touch at times. It was good seeing Max in a less serious role.
Mew was better than I expected. I believe his acting is improving. There was a mix of seriousness and silliness in his character and he managed to navigate through those two extremes. His character, unfortunately, didn't learn anything at the end of the show and ghosted his supposed girlfriend again. Someone get Pop Purim a LINE account!
I didn't enjoy how much they infantilised the girls. Bee was the only one who sometimes was a bit more mature. The most realistic part was Plaifah not being tech savvy and leaking their private conversation but it clashed with her being the spy or maybe not. That part wasn't very clear for me.
It was a light watch for me. I hope every young girl and women and even older women who watch this don't feel bad about their age or about how they look or about getting older. Aging is a good thing, it means we're still alive and, hopefully, living.
Society has all these goals and boxes to limit us, don't let anyone except yourself decide what you can and cannot do. It doesn't matter how many wrinkles you have. What matters is if you manage to keep the fire in your heart alive. I hope you do!
