Wandee Goodday (2024)

Classica BL made in Tailandia, con tutti i pregi e i difetti annessi e connessi: fin dall'inizio chimica e scene esplicite non mancano - soprattutto se paragonate alle BL coreane o alle bromance cinesi - ma oltre a quello c'è sempre un po' poco sul piatto, sia in termini di trama, di contesto, di caratterizzazione stessa dei personaggi principali che fuori dalla camera da letto si relazionano con conversazioni banali e azioni/reazioni ridicole. Da sconosciuti passano una notte insieme, poi diventano amici di letto, poi ancora concordano una falsa relazione... il tutto con la pretesa che sentimentalmente non siano in grado di fare chiarezza sulle proprie emozioni e su quelle dell'altro. Questo stallo assurdo caratterizza quasi l'intera durata della serie, salvo poi risolversi nel finale in un paio di episodi con spaccati di una glicemia imbarazzante (la scena sul ring tanto per fare un esempio).
Sembra ormai uno stereotipo, già che potrei contare decine e decine di drama tailandesi sulla stessa lunghezza d'onda.
Basso investimento - in termini di sceneggiatura e a volte anche di budget - qualche scena NC18 (se va bene) e melensaggini a contorno del tutto. Senza infamia e senza lode rispetto alle altre serie della stessa tipologia.

holy effing chemistry batman

Whoever decided to pair these two up knew exactly what they were doing, I was ready for this chemistry as soon as I saw who they cast for the roles. The show just ended and I have complicated feelings rating it.

The story is simple enough, cocky boxer Yoryak (Great) meets his match outside the ring, a doctor who has no patience for his attitude, Dr. Wandee (Inn). He runs into our drunk, heartbroken doctor a few days later and takes him home, just for the doctor to drag him inside for some sexy fun. They hit it off a lot better than either of them expected, so when they they end up tangled up in bed again, they decide to strike up a deal.

These actors are much more than just pretty faces, the two leads have depth to them, and their chemistry is CHEMISTRYING. Their playful personalities make them loveable, and the romance that threatens to break into their FWB situationship is like a heavy sweet and innocent syrup they pour on top to fill the show with flavor.

Yoryak's brother and his boyfriend are adorable too, they bicker like an old husband and wife and im here for these wholesome vibes. I was also really interested to see our asexual best friend get into a cute and loving relationship, but to be honest they didn't do much with it and I was disappointed.

Production quality is good, it's GMMTV after all.

Heres the rub, they hit us with a SOLID first 7 episodes, great quality and gave you all the feels, and then the episodes after that were plain BORING. Not that there weren't some cute or sexy scenes sprinkled in, but the plot felt forced and the tension wasn't there. It went from a 8/9 stars for the first 7 episodes to 5 stars for the last 5. I'm going to go with a 7.5 overall because it will probably be easier to push through the boring now that all of the episodes are out, and the beginning was really worth the watch. Hopefully GMMTV will start focusing on the plot quality instead of pushing out so many of these "could have been incredible" BLs.
