HANDS DOWN THE BEST GL
I wasn't expecting much of this show. There are so many GLs airing right now- that I thought this would be my casual watch in between Whale Store or Harmony's Secret. But Shelley had me hooked. The way she acts, and looks at Pundao- the two of them together- they make this show a compelling watch. This show has everything that I wanted as an audience. It has crazy chemistry, complex emotions, genuine characters with mature human emotions that feel real and relatable. At first, I was watching it just for the chemistry and then I started appreciating other things about the show as well, like the very mature storyline, of course brilliant performances from the whole cast and finally a very real maturity that normally doesn’t exist in Thai GLs. I found myself crying with the show, like the characters actually transferred their emotions. I also found it quite refreshing how they could talk about sex and it was not a hidden and dirty term. I like the physical urgency- it was also very relatable. If someone asked me earlier, what my favourite GL was, I was normally confused between Us because of the cute scenes and the great performances or Blank simply for the chemistry or the Secret of Us for incredible acting production value and storyline or even Pluto for all of the same reasons. I think my mind switched between shows based on the mood I was in, but I never had a clear winner. After watching this show, I am certain that I have not seen anything better, including the new shows airing now. This truly has been beyond fantastic and I highly highly recommended it.
