BOC, did you atleast kiss the brick before throwing it?
Pain & trauma wrapped in a pretty packaging & adorned with bows.
If you approach this as just another BL, you will be disappointed a bit. This is so much more. There is plot & politics that goes hand-in-hand with the romance. The pace is a bit slow, it lags in some places, but overall it's engaging enough. The production quality is very good, even better than KP. They spend serious money & it shows. The frames are top notch & the cinematography is incredible. This show is excellent in the technical side. Acting was okay. Songs were all beautiful & adds to the narrative.
The issue most people have with is the main couple. They have excellent chemistry, but their relationship as Trin & Tanwa could've had a bit more depth. It doesn't get much traction until the finale (the scene by the seine was beautiful). After much hardships of their own, they do get a happy ending.
Now the second couple, they broke my heart & made me cry. Their relationship felt more prominent & interesting, only to suffer the worst fate. Krailert's ending was the worst out of everyone. I don't want to see anyone defending Dhevi, because she knew he was gay & was the one who told her father to do what he did. Women are the victims of the narrative in most cases but not this one.
The politics might be boring to a lot of people, but it's a personal preference. These are real things that happened & still happening all around us. It could've been a bit more cohesive, but overall it is a great show & worth watching.
