Duang and Qin’s love lays bare the full spectrum of emotions
Duang and Qin are two of the best-written and best-acted characters in BL in a long time. Duang is extra in every sense of the word, but is also the most sincere and loving person out there. Qin's cold exterior is matched later by the warmth long hidden inside him. Teetee and Por don't just act, they manage to create characters whose love you want to believe will last forever.
We go through a long journey of learning, change, and growth with Duang and Qin. The conflicts are handled smartly instead of being dragged on. I especially love Qin's confrontation with his parents as it's messy and emotionally charged, with years of pent-up emotions spilling out. The friend groups play an important role in Duang and Qin's story.
Duang and Qin feel like a real young queer couple, with positive sex talks, plenty of cuddles and kisses, small conflicts that are resolved by proper communication, visits to parents, and loads of other moments that will make you clutch your pillows.
I'm quite indifferent towards NC scenes in BLs nowadays since they are there to fill a quota. However, the NC scenes in this show are well-earned, well-choreographed, and serve a narrative purpose. I love the ep 7 shower scene as it perfectly builds yearning and desire into a beautiful display of raw emotions.
The music in this show is a highlight, from the custom BGM frequently exclaiming Duang and Qin to the entire album of beautiful OSTs.
To conclude, this show will make you feel every emotion on the spectrum, and in the end, you'll believe maybe true love like this exists somewhere.
