Very Thai Lakorn style
If you are watching this just because it's a BL you might not fully be able to enjoy it cause honestly there are very few moments of romance. It is more on mystery. semi-thriller and focused less on the romance and more on the plot. Which I didn't exactly dislike. Rather sometimes I like to watch plot driven drama where romance is a side character.
I liked the chemistry of the lead actors but the very little romantic moments between them didn't let the chemistry bloom to a even greater level. It's a slow burn but there is a way to do slow burn right. You need to show progression to keep the viewer hooked. However they did have few more plot points to keep the viewers hooked with all the mystery behind Tonkhao's death.
Acting and cinematography wise this is very much Thai lakorn. With all the slow motions, picture quality, dialogues and zoomed in shocked faces this gave me the taste of Thai lakorns I used to watch back in 2017. However compared to how far the BL industry has came forward with great quality content and budget this might not be up to the mark yet again highlighting social injustice, the character development of Charn and overall the plot is the selling point for this show and I absolutely liked it. Whoever wrote Charn's character did an outstanding job and Film (the actor playing) gave a mind-blowing performance playing a complex character like him. I could feel his pain. He might not be justified for his actions but we could see why and how he turned out to be the way he is.
I wish the camera work was a bit better, all it lacked was a good quality cinematography and I wouldn't mind giving it a solid 8.5. It's a great watch though.
