Worth the watch

Before watching a series, lately I don't rely on the plot. I check the reviews first. And so far, in most of the series I've watched that has comments like not that good, etc., this is one that I'm glad I didn't give into such comments (there are one too many). It's still a good effort on all the cast and crew worth commending.

I personally learned about this series because of Tenon fron Sunset x Vibes, when he appeared an Flirt Milk, I decided this is worth a try since he left a mark in me from SxV And I'm glad I gave it a shot.

For the story line, I felt like it could've been written well. it is not too often that we see a story about the rare blood type. In fact, I could vaguely remember a thing or two where it was mentioned and it is from a western show. Having watched this, I'd remember this series in passing when I come across a clip or an article about the rare blood type again.

For the actors, thanks for Tenon I'm able to know Boat in action with Gun (whom I have watched in Love by Chance) and Sugus (from OMG Vampire). I wish they could get more main roles, they deserve it. Although there are awkward acting. Time and acting classes can hone that. Even Boat's action scenes were really good.

The blossoming love was lacking (I didn't feel much giddy). They might have had a hard time in developing that part (regardless if chemistry is there or not, good scenes can pave the way to giddy moments.). It's just simply satisfying knowing that Pitch and Bank fell in love (Thanks to my wild imagination). Sun and Sky's love blossomed thanks to the kindness and extra care they have for each other. With a better storytelling, this could've been a hit (Kdramas don't only rely on chemistry, great storytelling and portrayal are part of their best keys to a successful series since they don't stick to only one love team).

I'd like to add that the dad, the villain and their right hard were good too. On point with their facial expressions. Toktaeng was good too having noticed how extra caring Sky was to Sun. I'm not sure if Juno's character was supposed to be somewhat annoyingly clingy to Sun, but it was effective if it was.She must be a dense admirer.

I feel like I'd rewatch this whenever I miss Boat. and I'm gonna check the other series he and the other 3 leads are in (BL series.. since the only hetero Thai series I've watched is the "My Husband in Law" which is not related to this review.LOL)

when the boss falls in love

the story is ok i gave it a 10 as i didn't get confused in their storyline. literally i got my mind blown and replayed the part of the 3musketeers(watch it to know what i mean lol). the bdsm part was fun as it isn't the intense type (so those who can't stand such scene can watch it)

acting is also pretty much ok i didn't get bored maybe because of their eyes. irl, there are people who are mysterious and don't give away their emotions through their facial expressions. that's how Kumol is, the mysterious type. the one you wouldn't know what's in their mind unless they speak of it. as for Kim, i admire him for taking risk. though he doesn't love Kumol at first, he accepted his offer to use him to forget the pain of his unrequited love(it's quite scary to take risks when you get tired of hurting). for Khom and Baiboon's i'm having the thoughts of "oh wait do i want to see this? will it be cringe-y?" but turns out a satisfying ok. as for Lop, Kit and Ruj's part caught me off guard lol

might i add the part where they keep the domesticated tigers as pets. at first i thought it was just a stuffed toy, barely moving lol. it should've been nice or even better if they had a little story behind them(like these ones can't survive in the wild for some reasons. as i have watched a clip somewhere in socials where they keep such wild animals in a sanctuary as they won't survive in the wild for some health issues or not exposed or used to hunting for preys to feed).

sounds were fine the romantic sound made me laugh a little in some part but it was fine. and if repeating scenes can be considered as re-watching them, then it is.

all in all it was fun watching this as it isn't the intense type.. it was a great watch after watching something heavy/intense. that's how i do it whenever I've seen an intense series, i wash it down with something light and fun :)

And the best goes to...

I just approached Episode 6 and as I just watched Special Clip 5, it made me realize something... BossNoeul are like guiding stars. Personally, I love their every scene, giving their all (since LITA even as newcomers) like I'm drawn to them, their character, And when I said "guiding stars". theIr brightness, doesn't only shine for them both. It's like they light up the way for their support couple as well. First in LITA (FortPeat) and now here in TBNW (ForthDonut). Although Forth and Donut has nor much giddy/intimate moments yet, in the special clip 5, I feel like they are shining alongside BossNoeul already.

(I'm stopping here for now and will get back and edit once I'm done with the series. And yes I'm only watching now because I can't stand the anticipation of an ongoing. :))

Fourever feels good <3

At first, there were scenes that were quite confusing in a sense that you'll be puzzled or feel like the series of events doesn't flow well. [Edit] I remember now where this kind of scenes appear. In kdramas, they appear in the end where they play a preview for the upcoming episode. Like in a mystery genre (but on a lighter mood), you'll eventually figure out things. That;s probably one of the good things about this serie which made me drawn and kept on watching.

The actors, their acting and the cuteness. From the main to the supporting. You will find yourself smiling. Whether the scene, acting (be it awkward, cute, shy, etc) Watching this after a little intense series is like replenishing your happy energy. Indeed a feel good series.

[Edit] Rating it a 9.5 leaving a little room for improvement (I feel like this is for myself as well having rated the music as 9 because I wasn't paying much attention to it having to watch it at night and in a low volume just enough to hear the actors' voice). All the cast and staff on and off screen are truly commendable.

Here goes a little spoiler part...
I didn't expect to laugh so hard (here comes the spoiler part, btw). The movie date scene, where North was scared. It was so funny that I decided to leave a review (time for a good review is definitely worth it).

Pond's cuteness and loving demeanor could pass as a bottom.
Earth's acting with another partner. Although his gender orientation is open, you could see how he acts with whoever his partner is. He acts with utter respect not only for them but for himself as well.
Bas' tears made me tear up a little.
Maxky's my first time seeing him. And I like him makes me feel giddy along with Pond.
Their friends ares so cute and they live up to their roles. very supportive <3
I kind of got confused with Daotok's role. But that's really there is to it. Definitely a friend from another team/group who tags along (just like in real life; a friend we invite to come along)

I highly recommend this series for those who wants to feel good. There are a list of some series I rewatch. This definitely an addition to the list.

A good watch after a bad one

At first, I thought it was Zixin and Xixi (It's because I didn't pay attention in the drama cover). They both look good together.

Realizing that it was Sichen and Xixi, they are both good together as well and I love the whole cast.

Although it seems cliche or predictable for me on some or most parts. With a fun ups and downs, a great portrayal of the casts' role and a feel good story plot, l watched until the last episode because it is indeed a good series. A great recipe of love, life, friendship, hate, pain... A fun 24 episode journey. I was even fantasizing for a twist of fate between Zixin and Xiwei (I know Xiwei is kind of a hateful character but just a silly fantasy for a sucker for romance like me LOL)

**Usually, I watch a light drama after watching something heavy or a bad-ending drama

For those who enjoy watching a light, fun with a little drama this is definitely a must watch.
