Tien carried this

I went into this blind as I tend to do, and I really loved the concept! It's super cool and I'm a sucker for soulmate AUs. Also, I'll just get it out of the way and say I LOVED the music in this show. Lovely instrumentals and mostly used at really appropriate times. I have very mixed feelings, but I definitely don't regret watching it and there was a lot to love.

(major spoilers from here on!)

Initially, I couldn't stand Tai because of how much he whined about his parents getting divorced (it sucks, sure, but calm down PLEASE) and this immature behavior was a recurring theme. Sort of. I don't fully understand how the characters in this are so incredibly emotionally mature and yet so immature at the same time. In every conflict I couldn't pin a bad guy because while one person did something wrong, the other person overreacted so neither was fully wrong and neither was fully right. Episode 11 was hard, because it was just 3 grown adults throwing tantrums and screaming; Tien was the only one with a reasonable reaction, everyone else blew it SO out of proportion but he reacted appropriately (I'm definitely not biased)
They kind of dropped the ball multiple times and fumbled around with it for a bit, but typically recovered. I won't lie, I skipped/fast forwarded a decent amount of the show which made it way more enjoyable cause it definitely drags at times/characters are being annoying but since I didn't fully see all the negative stuff I can have a very positive feeling towards this show.
Patts is weird. At times, he's very loveable and trustworthy, and at other times I feel wary of him. He's really nice, but sometimes nice isn't honest and it stressed me out a little when he was being super nice. He ended up being fine, but idk I just think he was hard to read and his aggressive reaction in EP 11 was too much where it really put me off.
By the end, I didn't really care for the main couple because I was so thoroughly invested in the side couples. Tien and Lomfon are great, I'm obsessed with sun and moon/cat and dog couples and these two are SO cute. I honestly wish we'd had more from them, their little moments were so sweet and I'm not exaggerating when I say Tien means the world to me. He's absolutely on my list of sweet darling boys who I would die for. I also love Dream and Nara so so much, the crumbs we got of them were spectacular.

Overall, the show is incredibly polarizing for me because on one hand it's lovely, sweet, beautiful, and fun. On the other hand it's a bit boring and the characters can be really annoying. I love a good flawed character, but it felt like they made them perfect too early on. A lot of their maturity got thrown away and then magically found again which was weird.
Also, the soulmates thing kinda got lost? Lomfon is just casually the soulmate of both Patts and Tai? In the fight, Lomfon and Patts are yelling at each other. Patts even goes as far as to scream at Lomfon to shut his mouth which clearly shows that he can hear him, right? But they never address that which is whatever.

I almost teared up at Lomfon's apology/confession scene. It was so sweet and I care so much for both him and Tien. The kiss! It was great! I think the rewatch value is solely in regards to these two and I would gladly watch a cut version where it's just them. I didn't hate the main couple, in fact I really loved them at times. But damn they got frustrating.

It took me a long time to watch, but it was worth it! I think it's a really good show with some unfortunate decisions that got left in. I'll once again say that Tien is the most well written character. He was the most believably consistent and likeable. He was dramatic at times, but it seemed like he's just a dramatic person and not some chill/cool/calm person who just out of nowhere flips out.
I liked the dad, he was great. And Tien and Tai's older brother. The side characters were great. Oh, and there are a lot of other quirky, fun side characters which really made the show enjoyable (even if Bow was sometimes way too annoying, still love her). The vet that ALWAYS wears stupid hats? Love him. Pingpong ???? Omg I'm obsessed with them, they're amazing.

Anyways thanks for joining me on my train of thought and getting through how often it got derailed :)
