At least something different...
is the best I can say about this show. It had soooo much potential but the script and acting could not let it shine.
Compared to most of the Thai BL crap we get, this had an interesting premise, but the script did neither develop the characters nor made sense of the whole "drug" case. For me, it felt cobbled together in a hurry.
I have no clue how the case resolved with all the dead around. I can only asume the notebook - or was it a tablet? - was found or Chu left it with Mr. police gay guy, otherwise how could they solve the case? To have two Kims as ML is quite funny to me, but the older Kim was not good in acting at all... he felt out of place at times. Besides not really capable to be a police officer he often felt lost. The younger Kim did his best and I see his talent but he can't lead a BL alone when is partner is not capable - yet.
For young/new talents a workshop would have worked wonders, but I doubt they had one, Production quality overall was good, even the limited locations did not bother me. But the biggest question, how did Mr. police guy find his love? Not explained, he just appeared and we get the typical happy BL end - which I could have lived without. A time-jump where they meet by coincidence, for example Mr. Killer would have his first art exhibition... would have made more sense.
It's no secret that I don't like stories which leave questions or are not logical, especially if it's a kind of suspence, crime or thriller genre. The initial idea was good, but the execution failed. The team gets bonus points for presenting us with a novel concept, with some characters acted out well and suspence background music. Overall it's ok to watch, it's not stellar and not catastrophical bad, but not good either.
