Pretty disappointing...
I feel like this drama was way overhyped. When I first heard about it I was pretty exited, but as I watched it progress I got less and less exited.Don't get me wrong, I love ZeeNu, but in this drama the acting was not the best. Ofc, they are not bad actors, it's a bad script. I often felt like the actors didn't get to express themselves and were just reading their lines instead of acting. (Again, due to the poor writing)
Many of the scenes were just the main couple going around to protests, practicing, getting hurt, or sitting in the study room/library talking. Which was pretty boring.
And do not get me started about the screentime. In most Thai-Bl series or romance dramas in general, there are side couples. They are not main characters so obviously they are not going to be on screen all the time but they will still get their own storyline (Hopefully). But in this drama, the other couples basically got pushed all the way to the sidelines to a point where there were scenes after scene of the main couple doing, again, really boring stuff like I said earlier.
It was pretty nice to get a drama where the main couple don't go through a divorce era or there is miscommunication and/or toxicity in their relationship. Yes, this doesn't really apply to the side couples, especially Ramil and Paytai. Their relationship started off looking pretty toxic with how Ramil treated Paytai, even though he loved him. In the end we did get to see them reconcile which did make me happy, because if im being honest rn, they are kind of the only reason why I finished the drama. Which leads to another point.
The ending that the side couples got was... not really an ending. Like yeah we saw both couples reconcile, yay. But I honestly wanted to see more. The main couple got their happy ending with Kannin and Charan moving to the UK and getting engaged. But what about the side couples?!?!?!??! Like don't tell me they spend around 10 min (of at least it felt like it) on a forced looking NC scene while we could of gotten even small bits of what happened to the other couples.
Overall, i was pretty disappointed with this drama and I feel like it is a miss and waste of potential for the actors. This is the first time I have seen a royal type themed BL, and the writing was very poor and honestly did the actors very dirty was that boring a$$ script. I found my self either distracted or skipping through many parts while watching some scenes which again, leads to the writing. I do appreciate the cinematography and the effort they tried to put into the sets . And I can kinda see what they visualised and thought about this drama but let's say, it probably didn't come out as they expected. BeCausE Of ThE ScRIPt! (Istg i'm gonna crashout)
