This is the first time in BL history I actually believe the main lead is a police officer. Up did a wonderful job with the character, it feels real and full of layers. Well, Pavel also did it great, but there were supernatural elements. This is human traffick investigation.
After reading 40 chapters of the book, I think I know what they were trying to do with Duang's character and why. As I see it, Duang is actually a very mature person in the way he loves Qin. He is sweet and cute, just like in the series. When Qin does something cute towards him, he really freaks out and thinks the wildest and funniest things, but mostly he let them in his mind. They can't do that with the show, it would be boring, so that's why we have a Duang acting so over the top. It's Duang from the book exteriorizing his feelings. I'm not saying it's good or bad, just something I'm noticing.
I wish this wasn't so silly-ha-ha and took itself a bit more seriously. This concept is fun, but with this humorous…
I don't think it's silly. I think the funny moments are very well balanced and limited to scenes were there is nothing really important happening. For example, the scene with Tim and the framed pictures was very funny. We all knew they were not going to catch them lying on episode 3 so, for me, it was a much better aproach than to make that moment serious when we already knew the outcome. Until now, I'm loving the pace and the overall mood of the episodes.
I'm back in my Boston era and ended up writing a fanfic about him on Wattpad. It somehow turned into an Only Friends / KinnPorsche crossover. It isn't finished yet, but I'm loving it.
I'll leave the link here in case anyone wants to check it out:
