Comedy gold? mild spoilers
I made an account for this review lmao1). 5 min in I saw that it was a MAME production and audibly screamed NOOOOOO, but it was too late
2). I mean the nc scenes are very hot. Not perfect, but very nicely done, meatbeatable
3). It is very funny, but not the way you would think. I'm watching alone in my flat and keep going HAHAHAHAHA because some scenes are so so so stupid. It's giving "I've been sold to One Direction", but instead of One Direction it's a twink with a horrible personality. (Peat is great though, I love his mannerisms and he's so pretty)
The biggest problem that I have is that the characters are not only speaking, behaving, breathing in cliché, but the fact that those clichés contradict each other too much. I don't even know how to explain that, just check it out for yourself.
I've consumed my fair share of bad Thai bl to understand myself. I really don't have a problem with predictable behaviour or phrases, I watch that sh to extract a particular emotional response from myself, not to expand my intellectual capabilities. Like LITA was objectively not good, but I liked it, cause it made me feel fuzzy. But here, oof, some scenes pretty bad. Usually (since I'm not good with cringe) I mute or speed up uncomfortable moments and I had to watch most of this drama on x2 iykwim. Every once in a while I just had to say out loud "Omg I'm cringing, I'm cringing so hard". Especially every time someone would mention "buying" of a human.
I think you should still watch it tbh, it's nicely filmed, I enjoy the actors and actresses, also I had no problem with the whining others mentioned. But most of it was just sooooooo poorly written. Made me laugh a lot though, like laughing at the plot, not because of it.
Also, I kept thinking... Some things don't need explanation?? Like, why do we have to know that P'Rak HAS to sleep with someone to write? That's a super dumb reason. Why can't it just be "He saw his and wanted to have sex with him"?
Upd after finishing: The writing still sucks, but some plot holes were sewn back together with thick thread. The scenes are still hot, but there are less of them towards the end. The characters are like one and a half dimensional, but Meena is very likeable and the little actress is going places.
