*Sighs*
This was... something. Episode one was a snooze fest, and the course of events lowkey did not make sense. But ep 2 got my attention and I was able to invest myself on this.
That being said... I do not like the first couple. At the start, their dynamic was cute. The arrogant, cocky top that falls for the innocent bottom. But as their relationship progressed, it became an eye roller. I would genuinely be rich if I received money for every time Bohn got jealous over Duen talking to someone. It was funny the first time, but when you realise that home boy can't catch a break or even breathe in the same vicinity as another dude or dudeet cuz Bohn will throw a hissy fit, and you just get tired really quickly. It's one of those, ugh here we go again, moments. These two have nothing in common, and don't even have a single meaningful conversation.
Also, the communication in this show is shit. Buddy Bohn here got assaulted and just STANDS there while Duen accuses him off cheating. How hard is it to say, "i didn't kiss him. He forcefully kissed me." He had the opportunity to. Even after they got back together he didn't clear that up!! MAD AND ANNOYED DOESNT EVEN COVER IT. And their break up... couldn't even careless. Falling asleep. And this line. This fucking line:
"I don't like men. I only Duen." That just hurt me. So glad we advanced as a society. I fucking hate this line.
But I gave this show a 7 instead of a 6. Why? For King and Ram. Those two carried this fucking show and no one can disagree on that. There was not enough screen time for them, and I wished we got more scenes. Ram may not have talked for half of those scenes, but he sure as hell had more important things to say than the main couple. They built up his character so well, and his relationship with King was so bloody precious. I really liked the slow pacing of it, the progression felt natural and Ram slowly opening up to King and starting to talk to him had me squealing. But once again, communication. King, my beautiful boy, just why? Why do we have to avoid people and not be a mature adult and just speak about our feelings? I get it, boy was hella confused, but running away and avoiding Ram like he has the plague? Bro, do better. But I genuinely cannot wait to see their progresses in S2 if we get one.
Other things... Thara and Frong was the mature couple we didn't know we needed but want more off. Thara bragging about his pet lizard will never not be funny. And finally, pls get a Thai speaker for Mek. I tried. I really did. But the actor having his voice dubbed over took me out the show so much. I thought I was bugging at first, but the moment I realised I wasn't, I couldn't unsee.
