Please note that I am reviewing the uncut version.
I have to admit, the first few scenes didn't really grab my attention. I actually found them a bit boring, so I dropped it. 😅 But after seeing so many positive reviews and comments about the series, I felt like I owed it another shot... and yep, I came crawling back. Lol!
Something in My Room follows the story of Phob, an adorable and charming ghost with amnesia, who asks for help from Phat, a young guy who seems to have his third eye open because he immediately senses something weird going on in the house from the moment they move in.
The series isn't just spooky; there are also some funny moments early on, especially when Phat starts seeing Phob and Phob starts messing with him through harmless little pranks. The writing and direction are solid, and the cinematography is really well done. The editing is smooth too. Nut, who plays Phob, totally nailed his role-he's not only a great actor, but seriously, he's so cute. One of those faces you could just stare at all day, no lie. 😍 Plan, who plays Phat, also did a great job. He kind of reminds me of Apo Nattawin with his visuals.
Now, don't get me wrong, I like both actors individually. But for some reason, I didn't quite feel the spark between them. I don't know... something just felt a bit off or missing. Honestly, I felt more chemistry between Phob and Ben. That said, I stuck around for the plot, which really intrigued me.
Though to be fair, the Phob-Ben storyline dragged a bit and felt too long. And the subplot with Luck didn't really do it for me; it felt kind of disconnected from the main story. I also found the whole love-hate dynamic between Phob and his mom really heartbreaking. I felt so bad for Phob; no child deserves that. But at the same time, I get where the mom is coming from. She had her reasons, and she was just being honest about her emotions.
There were definitely parts that felt flat because of the slow pacing, but I still wanted to see how everything would unfold. Honestly, I think the show could've been better if the episodes were a bit shorter. Some parts felt dragged out, with lots of filler and long conversations without much happening.
Even though some people said the ending was sad, I was actually satisfied with it. That final reunion hit the spot after everything they went through. 💙
So if you're into slow-burn stories that have heart and meaning, Something in My Room is definitely worth a try.
