The Hot Spot

My Thoughts

• I watched it because Ter Nawapol posted about it — it caught my interest.
• The dialogue is the best part — simple, silly, but honest and funny.
• The chemistry between the four main characters is great and makes the story fun.
• I love how ordinary the show feels — nothing too dramatic, just very chill and comforting
• Nami and I watched it together every week — it became a small weekly joy.
• Episode 3 was really funny — that’s when I started to get the humor.
• Episode 8 had everything — fun, cute, touching, and cheeky.
• I didn’t like the last two episodes as much — they focused more on the mission than the character chemistry.
• If I visit Japan again, I’d love to visit some of the filming spots from the show.
