STORY: A sitcom about a family of four who rent to Earth and Ice, who are siblings. The teen son, Jang, realizes that his heart beats hard for both Earth and Ice but he is confused and scared by his feelings for Earth. This show tackles many subjects like homophobia, unwanted teen pregnancy, and other challenges of raising teens in modern Thailand.
ABOUT THE STORY: Unfortunately, lies and misunderstandings are the heart of this show and used heavily by the writers. It seems almost every episode is some big misunderstanding that is resolved by the end of it. The comedic timing of this show is somewhat different and I wasn't used to it. They add a laugh track or some strange sound effect at oddly inappropriate times. Perhaps it's just me; this is my first foreign sitcom.
ACTING/CAST: The entire ensemble cast are very good actors. This is a sequel to the long running Bang Rak Soi (2003-2012) so there are guests appearances from the previous show.
MUSIC: I liked the music and at the end of some of the later episodes they do a Thai rap ending that is very comical.
REWATCH VALUE: I'm glad I saw it once but I do not feel the need to revisit anything.
OVERALL: I fell in love with this family, the characters, the cast. It is a very well-written show. If you decide to invest the time into this, you won't be let down.
NOTE: The long-running Will-Jang-Choose-Earth-or-Ice plot line does get muddled. If you want to know more, read the comment section for spoilers about this.
