The Shipper: Chin nai klai pen chan

I can't ask for something that is better than this one.

" The shipper " was a really messy drama. It blended genres, characters, moods, and relationships in a crazy blend of fun and tragedy.

The first part was more comic, with some mystery when it came to Kim and his real life. The whole 'shipper' plotline was fun to watch as well and it was a nice touch. The plot was slowly built as well. However, it was obvious from the start that the whole thing was too complicated. Each episode messed things up and kind of erased everything that had happened in the past episodes. Episode 11 almost made me drop the drama, but they soon fixed things up, fortunately. The ending was bitter sweet, but that act, in the end, was cute. Also, it was left to be assumed that there might be a second season... (?)

Now, for the characters, some of them were annoying (like that girlfriend), even Kim was a bit endearing at times. But, overall, the couples had chemistry and they were interesting.

As for the cinematography, the creators did a good job with the comedy element, without overdoing it with the over the top scenes. The OST was cute too.

So, overall, six out of ten.

I won't let any spoilers here. After episode 1 I thought, that perhaps I was choosing the wrong series. It had everything of a superficial school comedy with crazy girls, dumb guys and a overdose of sweetness and product placement.

But you should give it a chance. Not only to those good actors, also to the script. Because it's much more than a cheesy teen drama. It develops to a really cute story about friendship and real love. So finally I liked all those characters. Even the very special Angel of death, who is much funnier as the name or task lets suspect you.

As I wrote this drama doesn't really have a deep-well-thought stroryline. However, I had thought this drama was a boring cheap low-quality comedy drama(I'm sorry) at first but it turned out to be a good drama which actually made me cry as much as I cried for A Tale of Thousand Stars and Who Are You. I didn't expect this drama to be this good and tearful at the end. Dont give up on watching until Ep11 and you'll be spending whole day crying on the floor TT.

This is a case where if you can survive the first episode you can enjoy the rest of them. A big mistake when presenting your product is giving a bad impression and this is a good example. Boring, weird and kind of confusing that's what the first episode is. But, I kind of got intrigued and that's why I continued and ended up really liking this series.
