A Melody That Went Off Key
First off, this series aired around the same time as many others that shone a little brighter. Had this aired two or three years prior, the series would have had more of a fighting chance.
The script felt a little bipolar. The change from fluffy moment to angst gave me whiplash. Had there been more episodes, maybe the plot/story could have been a little more fleshed out, but the story lacked a little oomph..
Pavel (Pleng Rak) drew me to this series in the first place, and he did well with what he was given. Tar (Thit Nuea), as well, struck me as someone with acting potential (and it doesn't hurt that he has a lovely voice). But even good acting can only bring a story so far. What started with great potential ended up an overloaded tuktuk swerving into a guardrail and falling over in slow motion... I am a completionist by nature, but begrudgingly forced myself to see the series through to the end, just hoping for a little more, but was just let down.
If you ignore the random "Angels We Have Heard On High" the music was really good, and I found myself singing along with Winter by the end.
Overall, I do not regret watching, but it is not something I would watch again. However, I do look forward to seeing the actors in others roles more suited to them in the future.
Coffee Melody: Coffee? Yes. Melody? ... Not so much...
