The notion that love conquers all is severely tested in this morally dubious Thai BL series. Boat Yongyut Termtuo looks and plays to perfection the sexually amoral Sorn, who lacks nothing but conviction in his sexual prowess and entitlement as a top. The justification for this sad reflection on contemporary Thai social values among young gays (or at least among the writers of these fictions) is the arrival at Sorn's workplace of a new young intern, Jun, played with genuine sincerity by Oat Pasakorn Sanrattana. Jun is not conscious of his homosexual tendencies, but his erect penis when in the close presence of Sorn persuades him otherwise. The sexual journey of these two men and their reluctant acceptance that an emotional bond, partnering their sexual unions, can't keep them apart, forms the core of this storyline. 

If this description sounds interesting, it's worth noting that the show's creators have done their best to sabotage its success by setting it into 12 one-hour-long episodes, way beyond the capacity of the story's plot to sustain. The result is many scenes of filler, repetition, and uninteresting, unnecessary side characters, including a new protagonist in the last episode, who is promptly dispatched to enable the Happy Ending everyone has been holding out for, for some time.

The hero of the story is Jun, who viscerally comprehends that Sorn could be the right partner for him. Sorn, on the other hand, is the "stubborn" of the title, refusing to abandon any of his sexual behavioural traits, no matter how attached he has become to Jun. The fraud put out by this series is that Sorn will evolve to become a faithful, devoted spouse to Jun, but the creators have traded any chance of a realistic or hopeful ending for their preference for lots of gratuitous sex scenes. This relationship is headed for disaster; any imagining that the two principals have worked out a way forward is just wishful thinking.
