My Romance Scammer Episode 3

Doesn't go the easy way

It's nice to watch a GMMTV show which is a pure BL - by which I mean that it is entirely focused on the love story (love stories) instead of dividing screentime between that and other, setting-related storylines (like "Dare You To Death" tries to be combine romance with a detective story). It's even nicer to listen to dialogue which isn't as shallow, superficial and vapid as it's usually the case; dialogue that actually comes from something (instead of coming out of nothing "because of plot"). This should be a simpler way of making a show, but - for some reason - it's not the easy way. Poon and Ohm continue doing well, while Junior wrestles with some comedy stuff. At one point (last scene in the car) even Mark gave a watchable performance, with bits of his delivery being so different (and so much better) from everything in this and his previous shows, that I was pleasantly surprised. Keep going, it's getting interesting.
