The Bangkok Boy Episode 1

given all the hype for this BL, i must say…

given all the hype for this BL, i must say i was a bit apathetic throughout this ep - yeah the end was kinda brutal, but it wasn't the fight as i wasn't riveted by the fight scene or the basketball game, or much of the rest. also given that violence not really my cup of tea, i hope there's not a lot of fight scenes - an absurd wish given the genre of this BL, but one can hope lol... but the ending where poor Sun didn't just lose his father, but also his 1st love on his birthday, is one hell of a birthday present. *************************************************************************************************************************************************also the irony that Sun is gonna end up falling for a guy that was a co-conspirator to his father's murder / ordered hit, but also that same guy's brother was the one to end his 1st loves life. one hell of a hurdle to get over - ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also if Sun's father was a mobster (& not just a Gym owner, as i assumed for whatever reason) then why he only have 2 subordinate's?!? that's weird.... idk *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i get that we have 2 Korean actors so we needed everyone to incorporate the language barrier somehow, that it would tie into the plot & make sense. but the fact the father was communicating in English with his son is moronic. same with the older brother hanging with guys that speak fluent Thai, while he doesn't - this bothered me & really took me out of the plot as i was busy cringing or rolling my eyes. i really hope this gets good soon, otherwise i might end up dropping it cause i don't want to be semi bored for another 40 plus mins...
