Resurename

When I watched this for the first time I was so amazed by Boom who is playing Akin that I didn't focus on anything else. Maybe that's why I was blind to the actual story. Upon another rewatch I decided this doesn't deserve more than a 7.

Let's start on the positive note, the acting is great, amazing even for Thai bl standard. Boom is such a talented actor and definitely carried this series. The honey scene was great and the kiss scene right before that is so atmospheric and beautiful. The music was alright, but during the NC scene I'd prefer softer music instead of a fast piano.

Unfortunately there are a few more negatives. Jun didn't do it for me. He fell a little flat, where in the original anime he's energetic, dominant and pushy. Here he seems soft spoken, still energetic but not the same energetic. I don't know what it is but they are like two completely different people to me.

As for the plot: not great....
We started off strong. The biggest difference between this live adaptation and the anime is the fact that Jun didn't sexually assault Akin which I'm so glad for. I couldn't finish the anime because of that fact. But I didn't like how Akin was always in pain and suffering, even willing to be used by his manager because he was helpless.

Jun's and Akins relationship was a mess, they broke up and got back together at least a million times an episode, it didn't feel organic to me and Akin most definitely needed therapy especially since Johnny was walking unharmed after SA Akin made my blood boil. The grandma arc....oh god. I wasn't more bored in my entire life. I skipped through that very uninterested.

Overall not a bad series, so much better than other Thai BLS but is lacking in plot. I'm sure these actors could thrive in a well scripted series!
