Cute but unoriginal
It's your typical college setting, fake relationship-turned-real themed BL drama. Teerak, a happy-go-lucky unicorn with no self-preservation skills meets Muenfah, a popular yet reserved senior known around campus as someone who shouldn't be messed with. The two shouldn't have any interaction, but on one fateful night, in an attempt to rescue Teerak from a tough situation, Muenfah accidentally declared that Teerak is his boyfriend. That's where it all begin.
The plot is pretty straightforward. Two polar opposites agreed to be in a fake relationship in order to ward off unwanted attention (or in Teerak's case, an unwanted suitor). In the process, they fell in love. It's a textbook Hallmark-style story with an overload of positivity and just the right amount of angst. Nothing special, but stil cute. The pacing is pretty good, right up until towards the end, when they practically plowed through the major angsty part of the drama. Other than that, the storyline flowed pretty smoothly.
The acting isn't bad. I'm giving the two male leads some leeway because they're fairly new. Thomas had a couple of support roles and Kong had a small role in Naughty Babe. As rookies, they've done a pretty decent job. They could use more acting lessons though. Their acting comes across as cringey at times, and I noticed Thomas seemed to struggle with his facial expressions. Other than that, not bad for their first main roles. I'd say DMD has struck gold with this pairing. They may be fairly new to acting, but they do have good chemistry. Hopefully, they'll continue to improve their acting skills in the future. The supporting cast is good. Mike (who played Oh) is in his element as the villain in the series. It's really good to see him acting in something other than the best friend/supportive colleague.
Overall, it's a nice series. It makes an entertaining watch, and if you're into the ThomasKong CP, then you definitely need to check this out.
