What a wild ride

My succinct review: A cute show with adorable leads and pretty bland side couples. It has an amazing soundtrack and is really lighthearted most of the time and had me smiling even at the very end. It's not the most amazing revolutionary series, but it's something I don't think you'll regret watching as it's very entertaining and sweet. Don't be afraid to skip as some parts can drag on and it would have been less enjoyable if I endured every scene.

Also, gay uncle's!!! Yay for old gay people!

Now my rambling review:

I honestly would give this a higher score if it hadn't spent as much time on the side characters who I didn't dislike but didn't really care about. Other than Mork's uncles and his friends, it was a riot every time those guys were on screen. I love Nadia but her love story bored me. If you do skip, you won't miss anything important to the main plot as I don't even think the side couple knows the main couple outside of being vaguely coworkers. I did like that the actor who played the one that wasn't Boss was really good in this role because he's played cool, badass dudes in shows like Paint With Love and Unforgotten Night and I do not personally think that suits him. I really liked seeing him as a bratty kinda irresponsible guy who wore hoodies and skateboarded and probably paid to get through med school. Seriously how's he a doctor? What a guy.

I absolutely loved Mork and Tawan. They only frustrated me maybe 2 or 3 times which is pretty impressive! They were honestly a really sweet couple and any misunderstandings were resolved well and fast because they were mature about it and actually talked to each other. (The final misunderstanding was a bit more difficult but to be fair I cannot blame Tawan at all for reacting to what he saw especially after everything that happened.) Both of them are too kind for their own good and we're unfortunate enough to have bad exes who took advantage of and stepped all over that, but they're perfect together.

The music was amazing!!! I actually saved a lot of the instrumental tracks because I liked them so much (and was actually able to find them) It was really well done and even if the scores weren't made for the series originally they were still integrated really well.

There were a lot of pretty intense twists and turns in this which shocked me, as I was expecting all lighthearted silliness and not (spoiler!!!) a bloody shooting at a festival and a random son (/nephew). Like oh my god that had me feeling like I was going crazy. (Hence the wild ride tagline)

Mork's dimple (just the one :D) made this show worthwhile. I'm only kind of joking. Also there's the fact that he is named Mork and therefore already had a foot in the door to my heart. Tawan is an absolute cutie too. I hate his initial boyfriend and wish they hadn't spent quite so much time on him, but Mork punched his ass out so it's kind of okay.

The fact that Tawan said "I know I'm not good looking and I'm not good enough for you." And Pore said "Sometimes feelings are more important than reasons." As if he agreed with that nonsense??!! Tawan baby, buy yourself a mirror and some glasses you're so beautiful and deserve way better than Mr Pimple over there.

It was really interesting to me that they managed to give pretty bad advice but still have pretty good actions they took. They basically encouraged finding a rebound and settling which was odd because that's not even what was happening. Mork was infinitely better than Por, he just had less money. Three specific instances of weird advice were "Best way to get over someone is to find someone else as soon as possible.", "If the person of your dreams is out of reach try finding someone who isn't so exhausting to obtain.", and "Love doesn't really mean much in a relationship once you get old, it's more about honesty." that last one could've been a mistranslation where they meant passion more than love, but I don't know.
There were a few things that left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth but the sweetness of the rest of the show overpowered them.

I liked the scenes with Khai as they were very cute, and I think it's hilarious that Mork asked Tawan to be Khai's other dad before they were even dating. Mork lives by lesbian dating rules apparently.
Bonus: Tawan's dramatic ass lying in the pouring rain after getting dumped. This led to one of the most respectful changing-unconscious-persons-clothes-because-they're-soaked scenes I've ever seen. Mork was panicked but in a sweet way because he didn't want to make it weird and even though he still did (blindfolding himself and then going "Ah! His nipple!") it wasn't creepy or super uncomfortable.

I think I could ramble about this show for a long time (clearly...) but my overall opinion is that it was very entertaining and super super cute.
