My fav is Babe's trusty GTR, followed by the Datsun 510 in his living room :D

Saying he cut the brakes but not the oil line kinda like I shot the sherrif, but I did not shoot the deputy, no?
If he wanted to cover for himself was that the best defence?

The main thing is everybody has chemistry. The team feels like 20-something-year-olds, with their teasing and behaviour; the Captain feels like someone who leads; Phaya and Nee feel like siblings; and Grandma is just who she is.

This is the only Thai BL I've never skipped the opening credits. Those cars are just gorgeous!

That being said, I like the way the story manages to tackle the severe issue of human trafficking in a fictional setting, yet not managing to diminish the seriousness or severity. Here the children are sold for "powers." We've all read the horrors of real human trafficking and know what people are sold for most of the time.

The fact that they are showing a rich, influential person in society behind the entire operation is just gold. Hiding the "real" business behind the veil of helping displaced children is a stroke of genius.

Nut is an amazing actor. His facial expressions help the character of Way to display actual emotions. When he got stood up for the date was just devastating.

Did we forget about Kim? Has he already been carved up for his organs? I know they can't mount a rescue mission, but some sort of police?

One minor nibble: after Jeff escaped Tony he went directly to his apartment. Wouldn't that be the first place they would look for him? It's the first place Alan looks for him and finds him. Also, when Alan knocks he just opens the door. You've just escaped from bad guys and you don't screen your guests?

On a scale of 1 to 10, this started as an 8 and broke the scale! Dam!

Will Tao replace Lhong (TharnType) as the most disliked character in a Thai BL? :D

Thanwa actually helped Koon by moving his head a little so he say the cheaters.

I keep saying it and will say it again Mark is amazing. He needs a good staring role where he's not almost lost in a large crowd as in Only Friends. Even in that his chemistry with First was epic, having one of the most wholesome friendships in a BL ever.
Namtam, as an actress, is a pure joy to watch. I still think she was one of the best Thai baddies ever as Giwi in The Player.
I never expected both Mark and Namtam to have such explosive chemistry together! Hope they get a good series to act in!

If it's one tiny flaw is that Namtam and Mark do not have more screen time seperately or together. However, both use what time they are onscreen to great effect. I don't think lesser actors than them could have filled their few scenes to such effect.

Thai people also put ice in their beer. I'm from the Caribbean, just as tropical, and we don't do that either!

Although not getting much screen time, both Mark and Namtan bring so much weight to their scenes. I don't think many other actors could pull of that much screen presence in such a small time. Part of it is also
Aof's directing. He is getting the best and most out of all these actors!
Mark needs an opportunity to shine. Yes, he was good in Only Friends but was lost in the large cast. He is a great actor. Never expected him to be so perfect with Namtan. Maybe a good drama with the two of them staring, and not a romcom.
Namtan just slays any role she is in. She was amazing in Who Are You and is still the best baddie I've seen in any Thai drama, GMM and all the others, as Giwi in The Player.

This is how you do a second season! You see the characters grow and change! You see them move from strength to strength!
Shiro just smiling more at Kenji was so previous! He accepts his love for him. They being each other's support through trying times was just beautiful to see. No major manufactured turmoil nor fake drama, just love and support.

The essence with a real Thai spin and a little more serious tone.

Time for a Season 2. Niko deserves the best!

I thought introducing the dad would be the downhill slide. Boy was I gratefully wrong! Day's dad just strengthened the other characters, showing us that guilt for past actions can haunt you for a long, long time, and helping us understand Night and his mother a whole lot more.
Well written, directed, and acted!

Mark needs a proper staring role. Not like in Only Friends to be overshadowed by the cast, but a good, independent role. Maybe a deep story with him and Namtan, not just a rom-com?

OMG! The cars! Actual, real racing cars! And characters tuning and working on them! Although it's sponsored by Toyota we see all different cars racing! If this was GMM all the hero race cars would be Supras and baddies others! Babe's favorite car is a Nissan!
Babe's got a Datsun 510 in his living room! A Datsun 510!
Damit! Babe and Charlie need to do their thing more around that car just to get her in more shots!

Who would have thought the day-to-day lives of two 40-something-olds would make for one of the best BLs out of Japan?
This was enthralling from beginning to end!
I loved how no character was toxic, each just had traits that may seem annoying, but did become enduring.
Perfection.

The lack of hugging and kissing perfectly represents Japanese culture.
It also shows that not all "love" relationships have to be physical and touchy feely.
When Kayoko slipped and almost left out the San with Kenji at their dinner thew reaction of the others was just precious!

This drama didn't know what it wanted to be. Did it want to be an unreliable narrator? Did it want to be unrequited love? Did it want to be a comedy? Did it want to be serious? Pick a style and stick to it!
This had great potential. The set-up was already there. Failed execution.

Nut is such an expressive actor. Sometimes his happiness can be overwhelming if he overacts, but he can do sad and angry with real effect.

It's one of the best dance scenes in a BL ever.
That was the first time I was vexed when an electricity supply was restored!
