A good mess and a good trio

It’s clearly one of the most well-crafted BLs in GMMTV’s lineup. The story focuses on three characters Jira, Koh, and Pheem who really stand out, with strong personalities that are well written and genuinely enjoyable to watch.

What I particularly love about the series is the way the characters interact with one another. None of them are idealized or flawless, which is a refreshing change from the usual portrayals, especially in GMMTV productions. They all have imperfections, making them feel more human and believable.

I also appreciated how the series approaches the topic of artificial intelligence. The critique remains somewhat surface-level, but it’s still engaging, especially in how technology and art are discussed, with an underlying commentary on capitalist society.

Another highlight for me is the styling. The way the characters are dressed really adds to the show’s identity and gives it an almost timeless feel. It’s a subtle detail, but it strongly contributes to the overall atmosphere.

The supporting characters are also very memorable, which is quite unusual for a GMMTV series. Ing and Mawin play an essential role in grounding Jira and Pheem and keeping them in check.

And special mention to Dew and Gun honestly, they deserve their own series. I absolutely loved their chemistry.
