Juicy, Sexy and Delicious
Ok, just based on the pilot, I knew I would like My Stubborn. Look, this show does not promise anything that it is not. There's no avant-garde plot here. Its a simple character driven narrative of two men who meet, become friends with benefits and then feelings get involved. Its delicious.
First, major props to Boat and Oat. They acted their butts off in this show. Physical intimacy is difficult to pull off, without appearing fake or cheesy. And these two did it so well in My Stubborn. With each progressive NC scene, we see how Jun and P'Sorn are catching feelings for each other. In each scene, Boat and Oat show off their incredible chemistry— there are sparks between Jun and P'Sorn, whether they are getting off in a toilet cubicle or working together in their office on product exports. Jun is such a likeable character, he is sassy, stubborn and a loudmouth— a typical college student who can be selfish and myopic at times. P'Sorn, with all his underlying toxicity, is a such a hottie. He likes and cares for Jun in his own way, and he just needs to get his head out of his ass. Boat, especially, is a stunner, and is just serving face cards in every episode. (Side note: calling him P'Payu junior or P'Payu knock-off is insulting and you need to stop).
I also like that My Stubborn does not try to reinvent the wheel. This show tells the story of two characters and their relationship and how it goes from a P-Nong relationship, to FWB, to boyfriends who are hopelessly in love. I saw several people dragging this show as soft-core or no-plot-only-NC and I must say, those people are either major prudes or did not see the same show I did. Just because a show is more character focused, does not mean it does not have a plot. If this kind of mature show is not for you, thats totally fine. No need to spoil the fun for the rest of us.
As for me, I cannot wait to see Boat x Oat in another spicy show. I hope they get a good opportunity their way very soon.
