Deserve Better Attention
You’ve probably seen many comments saying this show deserves more attention than it’s currently getting — and I completely agree. There are so many things I liked about this series, as well as many things I didn’t expect.
First of all, the acting. You can accuse me of judging too quickly, but I have to admit that I initially underestimated the cast and crew. As you know, there are countless BL series nowadays, and most of them are just average or repetitive. The stories are often things we’ve already seen — about adulthood, the mafia, or crime — but with simple, predictable plots. The worst part is that many don’t even focus on storytelling or acting anymore; they just want to sell the series. At least, that’s how I feel.
And of course, being a typical modern BL series, this one also aims to go viral with a few over-sexualized scenes. But on the other hand, its other aspects are nearly perfect for the current standard of the BL industry.
The first thing I want to praise is the acting. Top is always superb in every role he portrays, and this might be one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in Thai BL history — especially the character Namping (I’m sure you know which scene I’m talking about). Mick, on the other hand, is good but still a bit raw, probably because he’s young. He clearly has potential though — he adapts well to every role, showing different expressions and emotions accordingly. Their versatility, especially Top’s, is on another level.
The story and script are refreshing — kind of like an anthology series, which is rare in BL. It’s not technically an anthology, but it gives off that vibe during the first few episodes, and it feels truly refreshing. Seeing this made me realize that if you can’t write a more compelling long story and end up dragging it out with unnecessary subplots (looking at you, GMMTV), then making a shorter series like this can actually be much more entertaining. And if we’re lucky, we might get a talented team like this one.
Lastly, about the crew — especially the director and editor. I have to say, their choices and editing are key reasons why this series feels so good. The cinematography is something rarely seen in BL or Yaoi productions. I also admire how they didn’t overuse cringey background music without purpose. If you’re a movie junkie, you know exactly what I mean — too many BLs ruin good moments by flooding them with unnecessary background soundtracks. I really like how this one lets some scenes breathe naturally, without aggressive music, allowing viewers to connect more deeply with the characters’ emotions.
The script is simple yet effective, and the entire crew is clearly talented. I’d really love to see more of their future projects.
Overall, this series might not be something groundbreaking or entirely new, but it’s absolutely worth your time. I usually don’t follow ongoing shows — I prefer to wait until they’re finished — but I found myself waiting each week for new episodes since episode 5.
