This is one of the most culturally refreshing shows I have ever watched. One of the key aspects to understand when watching this show is that the character narratives, story telling, concepts of love, relationships and humor are extremely culture specific, which might be hard to relate too: for someone who is quite foreign to Asian (Thai) culture, especially comparatively to the style of Western story telling, life narratives and ideologies of love and relationships. I have an Asian heritage: Australian - Sri Lankan, I am well accustomed to both Eastern and Western genre of story telling, also having traveled to Thailand and Most of Asia I can see how these story narrative are so culturally bound and so beautiful, genuinely inspired, dramatized of course - but that's part of the appeal in Asian story telling, and the language, linguistic structure, and everyday life is for most part culturally very relevant, including love, relationships, emotions, humor, gender, sexual orientation and LGBITQ culture. However, this might seem to be extremely in-congruent culturally, through a Western eye. Considering this is an International TV series, having some idea of Asian/Thai culture before watching might be helpful to better understand and appreciate this show. I find the show did a great job at navigating the complexities of love and relationships, gender, sexual orientation, sexual fluidity and LGBTIQ life through a Thai way of life, while portraying intense emotions - from a time of Innocence, as the name suggests. Loved it so much. I hope it will have a second season.
