Why do I like until we meet again?
I really don't know the answer...
I've watched this show last year and it doesn't leave my mind. Over all, I have to say, a lot of people love it and that's fine but I don't. I don't think it was that good to be honest.
During the end, I was pretty annoyed and I don't know if the subs were wrong or if I missed something but I didn't get the whole drama when Pharm wanted to kill himself and the family of Korn and Intouch were there being like 'I love you even though I didn't tell you'. It was a bit over the top and Dean was talking so long, I skipped. I rarely do but it got boring really quickly. There was drama and it could've stayed such but Dean ruined all the excitement and tesion by talking for like 10mins...
I guess, what makes me not like this show so much is that I don't like Pharm. Dean is okay, I mean, he's the typical cool guy but he's not that annoying. Pharm was supposed to be shy but why is he still SO shy towards Dean? Dean is his boyfriend, shouldn't he be comfortable? I guess he is but when Dean kisses him, Pharm turns away and I'm like 'dude, you just had sex with him...' I don't know, something about Pharm annoyed me and his shyness wasn't cute to me because it was unrealistic. Shyness is mostly expressed towards strangers, not people you are comfortable with. It arises when you are out of your comfort zone and shouldn't Dean be his comfort zone? The script didn't always make sense...
The show's quality lowered a lot in the second half. WinTeam was there, they had sort of a story but were dropped quickly, so we only got DeanPharm content and I was left wondering what happened to WinTeam. They were dropped because of the spin-off but why would I watch it when I don't even know anything about them that makes me wanna watch it? Most of their scenes were for the sake of product placement which is so sad and wasted acting energy. And I'm sorry, but they didn't act that well. Win's smile creeped me out a bit. But again, the script wasn't good, so it's probably not Boun's fault.
Intouch and Korn's scenes were cute flashbacks but sadly not that many of them. Mostly, the same flashback was used over and over again to leave us without any knowledge about their relationship. How did they manage to stay together? How did they become a couple? Did Intouch's family know? How long were they a couple? We don't get any of that, just some short scenes and I would've loved to see more of them. I liked them a lot. Their relationship wasn't normal but they made the most of it and it was cute to seee them trying. I was so happy for them, they finally got away from their families and moved in together. They nearly got there... Their story is such a tragedy and obviously very much like Romeo and Juliett but I was very much entertained by it and I was rooting for them. The beach scene was sweet and they were so happy and relaxed. Nothing could come between them. I loved them and I think it's sad they didn't get more screentime.
Talking about Intouch and Korn, I liked the whole idea of two souls living on in other people's bodies and even during a different time when nothing could stop them from being together any more because the world got more open-minded. That's mainly why I kept watching. Just the idea behind it was interesting and we saw how traumatized and hurt these two were. When Pharm and/or Dean were overwhelmed by the flashbacks it showed the damage their lives and families did to them. Because I liked Intouch and Korn, I always liked the scenes when Pharm and Dean were talking about them.
Also, the dialogues weren't that good and more than once very, very cringey. I laughed so much sometimes because of the lines they dropped and at some point, they were talking too much about food. How many traditional Thai desserts are there? I can't even think of one from my country... But of course, food is nice and can express how much you like someone, sure, but they didn't stop talking about it. I still wonder what Dean and Pharm talk about all day long because they either talked about food or Intouch and Korn. I don't get their dynamic. The script wasn't very good concerning their love because they always seemed kind of distant (pulling away shyly when the hand was touched and I was like 'you are together for months... why are you still not used to it?'). It was of course not the fault of Ohm and Fluke and the scenes when they showed emotions were really good. These two definetely have acting skills and even cried tears. Everytime it got emotional, I was impressed, though they cried too much too often at some points.
When Dean met his grandma, I skipped because they cried for too long. I couldn't bare with this non-existing drama because they didn't even say important stuff and Dean's siblings were just completely lost why these two were crying so much which amused me a lot.
Often, drama was created or the characters acted dramatic for no reason. When Pharm told his family about his and Dean's relationship, they both were so nervous and they overreacted a lot because seconds before, his brother pulled a joke if Dean was his boyfriend or something - and not in a weird way. His brother and mom were obviously okay if he were. So, why did they panic so hard? It seemed a bit odd and misplaced...
We come to the main problem I had with this show: it was too long. 16 episodes is a lot and it would've been less if not every scene would've been stretched over a period of time when I couldn't keep track any more if something new and important was mentioned. They repeated themselves a lot. Because after a few minutes, the topic is over and nothing more has to be said, but they just kept going and I was really tired of it.
This show is definetely a guilty pleasure of mine because I don't think it was that good but I still won't leave my mind and I go back over and over again. I am so entertained by it because it's so much like Romea and Juliett...
Note: I can't come up with examples because I've watched it over half a year ago. Sorry for that but I guess you get my point.
