Phuean Phom Mi Maradok Pen Homestay Khrap (2023)

A simple slice of lives done perfectly

"Escape To Homestay" is every bit the perfect escape the name implies and so much more. Grammy Tub's Homestay is a place for people to come and make good memories, recharge, and reflect on the different situations in their lives. She delivers her own version of "Screw It" life lessons dished up with a healthy dose of laughter without being preachy and giving the people that come and stay, a chance to take a breath and really discover themselves.

The series focuses on a small regular cast as well as some guest roles as it explores the different situations, etc. that the people coming to the homestay and from the surrounding village are facing. The cast delivers a really solid performance throughout the series and the scenery and music really help to sell the Homestay as an escape. There's one storyline that happens throughout the series that I wish had been completed a little differently just because it felt somewhat unfinished. That being said, if this series ever has a second season it's also a storyline that they really could continue and develop more.

Overall: It's an excellent little series that blends a little thought, some good laughs, and a couple of tears.

Short and sweet, but leaves an impression

Overall this series is fairly relaxing and low-stakes with a few important life lessons sprinkled in. It does a really good job of making you care about and feel connected to each character despite its short runtime. Each storyline gets wrapped up nicely, although I would have liked for some of them to be a bit more in-depth, given the length of the series I think they did the best they could. The main theme of the show really resonates with me and I think it's a good lesson for young adults in particular.

As someone who watches a lot of heavier dramas, this was a nice, comforting and heartwarming break. I also really liked how this series showed an lgbtq character in a very casual and normal way, being treated exactly the same as the non-lgbtq characters.

If you're looking for something to pass an afternoon with, this is a great choice. And if you're looking for a new idol, then Grandma has you covered (seriously, she's everything I want to be when I'm older).
