Apparently, this type of slapstick comedy works well with Thai and many young or teenage international viewers…
Though I'm not an older gay man, or even a man, or even gay (I am a little older than most here I imagine) ;) I completely agree, especially about the change of tone. A little humor would have relieved whatever tension they were gonna bring. But this... Such a shame... 'cause it could have been a great BL crime drama.
It’s not about it being too dark or not dark enough… it’s about being too cringe.
Which makes this the same average thing as any other Thai show instead of the much anticipated new one that everyone has been hyping about for a whole year… is my point…, sir/madam.
The new show that did it differently this season is Not Me.
Comedy is the hardest thing to do well… and it’s not working here. It feels out of place, and it’s cringy. The actors don’t look comfortabel in those scenes. And the ”comedic” music doesn’t help. I’m reading in the comments that it’ll get darker, but they should have made that choise from the start… even if the comedy is in the original story. Or at least made it more natural. It’s just not very good I’m afraid.
That was okay… but not nearly as good as the 9+ rating suggests. The intention is there, but it wants to do too much, and the result is rushed and over the top. Maybe it’ll find it’s groove in the next episodes.
guess no one has seen how Ukrainian discriminate against other races
So that warrants a war on a sovereign country? America has racists... the UK has racists... Japan has racists... hell even my own country the Netherlands has racists... let's start bombing. What a stupid stupid comment!!!
Yes, you criticized the act. Calling it a "nice gesture" with four fingers in the air sounds patronizing… even if it’s in print. The nerve to accuse someone you don’t even know personally of having a double standard… well… let he who is without sin cast the first stone…
The one season story is one of the things I enjoy about Asian dramas. Some could even be a little shorter. Keeps it fresh. And gives us more time to watch different shows.

Oh… and those fish were clearly not dead.
