I started watching this drama out of curiosity seeing it was one of the top airing shows in Thailand, I expected to see Love in the Air there but I didn't and thus I began watching a show I had never heard of: 180 Degrees Longitude Passes through this.

This show could end up being a masterpiece. I know that is a lot to say, but from the first episode alone this show is just brimming with potential and that has part to do with the cinematography, the script, the story, and the characters. Let me explain...

Watching at first I had to stop and readjust my settings so that the pixels would be at the smallest they could so I could Geta clearer image, because this show is just so crisp to look at. Each shot in high definition looks amazing, and the cinematography as a whole is nothing short of stunning. The camera work is done in a way that makes it feel so much more intimate as opposed to other Thailand dramas I have seen. I don't know whether to have the be credited to the genre, because but it definitely goes towards the direction. This drama could've been littered with zoom ins for the funny moments, and it could've been more dramatic with a lot of the editing too. Instead it is subtle, the camera pans longer on characters, and the scenery that they are in are displayed a lot better because of it. You are fully immersed in this sort of retreat that the mother and son end up finding themselves at, and it's relaxing and you can't forget that is completely on purpose. The lighting, the sound work, and most importantly the acting is just done perfect here. The approach taken by the director is balancing so well so far. And without even talking about the story this drama is impressive by cinematography and all the behind the scenes work that I constantly think about. How can I not when this drama is so beautiful?

The dialogue between Wang and his mother, Sasiwimol is great. I came into this without reading the synopsis so I questioned their relationship in terms of how close they are. Did the director know that she is acting youthfully in a sense that she could be mistaken as his sister? Yes, and that was addressed without it being blatant. They allowed the characters to have their relationship shown through acting rather than spitting it out for you. I was worried about that with the first few minutes of exposition from Wang, but I understand where that was coming from also. His father died and it is him and his accomplished mother, they have a really close and unique bond. So far Sasi and Wang play off each other well, I believe them as mother and son. I also am anticipating a clash between them because I am pretty sure there will be. I think that way because of what I am going to get into next.

In is Sasi's old friend who helps them out. So going into this without any knowledge of what this show was I really didn't expect In and Wang to look at each other so closely. It is by far the greatest thing to watch between two people. To get a sense of tension and wonder what type it is? God I love it so much. The Untamed does this very very well, these are two completely different dramas but they both have those intimate looks that have the viewer asking themselves .. are they into each other or am I looking into this in the wrong way? In and Wang's case I'm excited because they can explicitly be together with this not being made in Mainland China. So hopefully we will see their relationship get some sort of release, some explanation for the looks... honestly I don't need an explanation, their eyes really do tell.

In and Wang... you have to just watch to understand what I mean. At first I thought that Wang was just sort of arrogant, but he also comes across flirtatiously. I applaud the director and actors so much because I now know 100% that that is done on purpose. Now reading the synopsis I am sure of it, a little sad I spoiled that for myself, but I am still glad. They dynamic is unique also, and in the first episode In explicitly says that they should be sort of Nephew and Uncle, but instead he feels they are nothing like that. At that point they aren't flirting, or are they?

I like how it will be short, for now at least. I don’t see the premises dragging out and predict that it will take place within the time they stay there. I am also predicting a sad ending. Hopefully each episode continues to get better and better as so far they are using the small scale of the drama to their benefits, developing the characters that way.

Moral of the story here is that subtleness with relationships goes a long way. It is so much better than a coincidence or a forced kiss or another side character saying that the two leads would look great together when you know they will end up together. Instead let the viewer see the potential for themselves.
