Virus Wai Love (2021)

Quarantine Romance in Quarantime Times

●FIRST IMPRESSION
Informative short web series about covid19, filled with sweet quarantine moments. also delivering that Love comes your way in unexpected ways and unexpected times.

●PLOT VIEW
I was highly surprised yet not because I actually saw a vlog where two neighbors fell in love in times of quarantine. So it was an amazing series diving into the times of covid19 and showing the struggles faced by different individuals. Many stories and dramas will be made in the future about this global crisis but the Love virus will remain a drama to provide specific information during the critical time. Such shows should be appreciated for their quality. Even though it is flawed but the compact 6 episodes still entertained a lot.
The drama focused on the benefits of quarantine and what could one do even when they are alone. Modern gadgets had brought us closer, and even though distance keeps couples apart they are still connected. The old school romance had once again filled my heart with love because of how modern we become, these old things are more meaningful than modern gadgets. the romance was one part of the drama, it basically focuses on giving out information regarding the global crisis and how to deal with it.
The struggles and discrimination doctors faced were light, because I have seen what we have gone through in these 2years and it is still ongoing. Since it's a light drama it can be overlooked.

●ACTING/CAST
The casting was good and the acting was subtle. Am satisfied with their presentation of the drama. It had to be subtle to maintain its easy connectivity to the audience.
Tubtim as Dr. Pai was a responsible and strong doctor doing her duties diligently. The way she did live steams to make the viewers aware of the covid19 was appreciatable. she never backed down and always took the initiative showing her strong side doing the right things
Blew as Techin was adorable with the cute antics he did to pursue. He had amazing facial expressions for doing his frolics. Both the actors had lovely chemistry.

●MUSIC
OSTs were so meaningful. Like whoever wrote the lyrics did an excellent job.
“You are our hero” is dedicated ost to all the doctors, who are leaving their loved ones behind to help the needy patients.
“love makes no sound” ost is like a summary of love couples who live in long-distance yet love each other.

●REWATCH
I would probably rewatch this for its cute moments and a short length.

●APPRECIATION
This drama deserves appreciation for raising awareness and showing how doctors around the globe are working hard to fight against this deadly virus

●FAV SCENE
The balcony date ep-3

●RECOMMENDATION
If you want to watch something light, warm, and super short, then give this drama a chance.

●QUOTES
taking care of others with good intentions won't help, the only thing we can do is by taking care of ourselves: Mother of Techin

Leia Mais

Shin is home from university and discovers that a new attractive lady has moved next door. He immediately tries to make his moves but Dr Prai is a firm believer of social distancing but that doesn't stop Shin.

STORY

The romance was pretty light and felt really forced and quick from the FL. However this might have been due to there being only a few episodes and short runtime. I get the feeling that this was more of a COVID PSA disguised as a short drama due to the many covid advice sprinkled throughout.


ACTING/CAST

Both leads did a decent job but Tubtim was definitely the stronger actor between the two. Initially I wasn't convinced by Blew's performance but he grew on me after awhile. Tubtim was what kept me watching and I will definitely follow any upcoming works she will have. She has potential and needs a good breakout work to really showcase what she can offer.

MUSIC

A few odd choices as it was overly dramatic at certain scenes however overall it was ok

REWATCH

No, once was enough.
