A guilty one maybe, but still an absolute Pleasure!
Should I put a disclaimer about how depictions of toxic relationships (not saying there is one here) or really spicy scenes should not be viewed as "cheap" per se? Well, there you go.
If you've seen TharnType and you liked it, chances are you will like this BL as well. Lots of bickering and reluctance, a lot of spice, fantastic chemistry and not too much depth story-wise. And those are all not bad things to me. I would even say that I almost certainly will re-watch this BL as many times as I have re-watched TharnType.
Juin and Sorn have known eachother since very young and what Sorn did with Jun in the past was absolutely wrong. He admits that in the last episode, but i do feel his could have been addressed better and clearer. I almost missed it.
They obviously ran out of time or interest to wrap up the other couples besides SornJun and TaiChamp and that is also a shame. I didn't really care for the F/F couple, but even less for loose ends like this.
I could sum up even more problems with the storytelling, but fact is that I don't really care. This series is not about that. What it is about; two young men coming to terms with their insane attraction to eachother that they really don't want but can't run away from. They like eachother's kinks and are so into eachother that the embers come flying through the screen. Jun is totally into Sorn's dom behavior, even though he may feel a bit embarrassed about it. Sorn has been attracted to Jun for years and tried to run away, but he can't. He's just afraid of what their friends and family will think and to scare off Jun.
It almost reads like a cheap romance novel, doesn't it? And that's probably why it's so good. Not pretentious, just insane chemistry.
