Thailand is continuing their venture into talking about the Thai entertainment industry with a dash of politics and this was an enjoyable experience. I know folks watched this for Phuwin but I decided to watch because I knew the other cast in this series and they didn’t disappoint. Seeing Mabelz act outside of her girl group PiXXiE was such a treat! Her character was stressing me out every episode but it shows how good of an actress she is. I also enjoyed seeing Tony in this series because I’m familiar with his films. I expected him to do well but his character didn’t stick out to me until closer to the end of the series when we had more of a focus on him and the dark side of the BL industry and I enjoyed that. Charlette is someone I’m unfamiliar with but I enjoyed her role in this especially concerning activism and the dangers of it. Her series with Engfa and Goy has been on my list and this introduction to her makes me want to see it sooner rather than later. Phuwin also did so well in this. I’ve never seen him out of GMMTV so I came in not knowing what to expect and was surprised. I want to see his Netflix series also sooner than later. Boom who sung the OST for this series also did well. I’ve been familiar with his music and covers for a while but I enjoyed seeing his acting. Obey also did well. I’m still reflecting on his character especially knowing he’s a cis man. I don’t see his character Tokyo as a trans woman but more so someone who is naturally feminine but was pushed by society into a role they didn’t really want. I’m glad that Tokyo was approached this way or I wouldn’t have been comfortable watching that storyline since Obey isn’t a woman. Speaking of the trans community I really enjoyed seeing Alie Blackcobra and Paper make appearances in this as well as the rest of the community. I think that was also something that drew me in since I can tell they at least were trying compared to other Thai series I’m seen even BLs and GLs. I feel like one of the best characters was Noon who played Phuwin’s stepmum. If you know Thai entertainment you know she starred in things like the Thai classic Dear Dakanda and her performance was so good. By the end I was captivated. Overall this was a great series from the acting to the characters to the OST and cinematography and I loved that this was a teen show that tackled issues but also was something teens could watch. I hope this is the start of a good change in Thai entertainment. Bravo to the cast and crew and entertainers in this. It was amazing!
