Surprised and Enjoying it
After being very disappointed that this did not become the Man suang many of us hoped for, i was still pleasantly surprised to be really enjoying this.
The political parts can be a bit confusing and i was lost in some places. I t does get quite dark with some character deaths and traumatic scenes which feel quite raw emotionally. The cinematography is great as expected from BOC. I do love this style of mature drama although it can get quite heavy.
The second couple exchanging notes in the library was really sweet and such a lovely, natural way to show longing and affection. The main couple have a really nice dynamic. Trin seems to be struggling with mental health (Depression) from his past and Tanwa is facing family issues and being a rebel/hippie. The scenes where Tanwa (played by mile) Is trying to get closer to Trin (Played by Apo) and make him smile and relax make a very lovely watch. They are two characters living opposite lives and meeting in the middle. I would love to see them overcome each others inner demons together and grow as they become closer.
I was disappointed in BOCs other works after Kinnporsche such as "dead friend forever" as the vibes, style and direction were just not doing it for me, this however is more what the kinnporshe fans were after when they wanted to see MileApo again as a pair. It is mature, has realism, grit and mental health issues along with politics, discrimination against LGBTQ+ and various hardships of the 70s.
