Saudade
It was better than I expected
It really was.
After reading some other reviews I wasn't sure what I would be getting myself into, but I was pleasantly surprised. Its no masterpiece, don't try to compare it with KinnPorsche, as even though there are enough similarities - the vibe is just different. This may even be more violent than KP in some aspects as Kamol is far more brutal and quick to terminate than Kinn. Kamol is pretty scary, but even a scary man can fall head over heels and that he did.
The thing with this drama is the pacing isn't the best - and looking at it, the director may be the one at fault because the actors here are pretty good at acting. The 2 leads did a good job but the pacing/counting that the director demands, does throw them off in some places, but they powered on. The supporting cast is fun, more so Kamol's people than Kim's (they pretty much just existed for the sake of existing, I don't even understand why Sammy took her role). The actors in Kamol's crew looked as if they really enjoyed what they were doing. Also, some actors are clearly better than others, but aside from "Baiboon" - whose smiling freaked me out 100% of the time, everyone held their own because I do believe certain awkward traits shown had more to do with character than actor.
The story is nothing complicated. I haven't read the web novel, but after watching I want to read it because there is definitely enough going on with these characters to make for a bigger story, maybe some serious angst if that's your thing (I like angst so - my thing). As it stands, minus the violence its actually a fluffy/lighter vibe. While the synopsis given implies that heavy BDSM is involved, it really isn't. Yes, its a major aspect of the connection between the 2 leads but the series kept the act itself fairly mellow. Also so did the actors because the faces they made will have you in a laughing fit.
I would for sure recommend this to anyone who doesn't take everything seriously. It a bit of a gem.
