When a simple plot and an healthy and relatable relationship is all it takes.
This is only my second time writing a review, the majority of the time i might like a show but never to the extent to feel an attachment to the characters or the show itself. Well ThamePo is definitely an exception. I knew the show was going to be good since the very first mock trailer, but the final result is beyond my wildest expectations.
I don't want to write a whole essay listing all the reasons why i think this is probably the best bl GMMTV has ever released, so i'll keep it short just talking about the characters and the plot.
CHARACTERS
Ok, so to begin with i want to call the Oscars and the Emmys for my man Est because i was speechless for his acting; wigs? Snatched. I'm not a crier but his performance was actually mind blowing and it resonated with me so much that tears were flowing down every time he cried too. I loved everything about Po's character, was he perfect No. And that's why i loved him so much. It's obvious he's a good person with a huge heart, and all those feeling were sometimes so overbearing that it was painful to watch. I love the character development, i love that he remained true to himself and hasn't changed in his goodness just because of what happened to him, and i love how Thame turned out to be the perfect match to give a stability to his life.
Speaking of Thame, what can i say? From what we have seen he's truly the perfect boyfriend, the one we all dream of and wish to meet irl. I loved the softness he had when he was with Po, i loved his attentiveness and the care he had regarding every aspect of Po's life. He is just too good to be real, and William did a very good job with it (i admit that Est was a stronger actor, but it was William first acting job so it was still remarkable and impressive).
The chemistry between William and Est is INSANE. Like i've never been one of those fan who gets obsessed with fake couples, until now. I love them, they are perfect, give me another show with them like now!
PLOT
Simple, straighforward, no unneccesary drama, every scene had its purpose, no filler episodes, no filler chracters or boring second couples without any development. I admit there were one or two things i would have made differently, especially in the last 2 episodes, but overall the ending was solid and heartwarming. No beach scene or forced break ups without any reason in a gmmtv show? Already outstanding. I can not recomment this show enough.
