I understand the hype, and I did enjoy the overall plot, the friendship between the leads, and the visuals. I think it's a well-made show, ESPECIALLY considering that it's from Doumondi, which is infamous for not so great plots.
HOWEVER, as a BL, it's definitely lacking chemistry between the leads (Khem and Peem). The pacing is slow as well, like people mentioned, so it can make it less exciting at times.
Was it one of the best BLs ever? Not really. But was it one of the best plots in a BL? Yes.
I'd definitely give it an 8.5/10 overall and recommend it to those who wanna watch something interesting and different than regular BLs.
Just finished ep 8, I'm kinda tired of the pace but not gonna drop it cuz I wanna see more of Ramphueng. Also…
I couldn't agree more. It took me some time to continue watching again and it actually does start picking up from ep 9 and the last few eps are good. But yes, Khem and Peem's romance is a bit bland for sure.
Idk man I loved this despite all the flaws. It was a good mix of comedy, romance, fantasy, and absurdity. I had fun and I hope there's a season 2. 8.5/10
The first few eps omg the chemistry, the acting, the story, everything was great. And then it was downhill from there. Would love the see a full-lenght show with a better plot with these two cuz their chemistry was on fire.
Wow a GL that's high quality, with great acting, and a fun script?? I've been waiting for Jane to act in a GL for so long and so glad to see her here. Hope it continues to carry throughout the rest of the show.
(If anyone can recommend GLs of similar quality, pls let me know, I want to watch more but idk which ones)
The first two episodes I wasn't that impressed with this BL but omg ep 3 changed everything for me! Ep 3 literally made me cry and ep 4 solidified that I really do like this show wow. Odajima's trauma, the realization by Kataoka, the shift in dynamic and their relationship was so nice to see and also heart wrenching.
I felt like crying and not because I was moved by the drama or it was a bad ending. It was bc I felt betrayed that they built up the WL x GT story so much only to give us NOTHING at the end. I was waiting so patiently and then it just.. ended? Literally felt so sick and upset. This is absurd.
This show was missing excitement and buildup that we expected from the synopsis/ep 1. Unfortunately, it kinda fell flat and didn't pick up speed until ep 7/8. The actors did a great job, cinematography was well done too. Maybe the screenwriting was the issue? Idk but this wasn't it unfortunately.
Seeing poor Sheng Shao You crushed, crying, cause he thought he lost Hua Yong was heartbreaking... great scene.…
yeah, I'm a litte lost too like why do all this? I know he needed that excuse to go to the hotel but it could've been anything else, like hey, I need to go visit my sister or something. Didn't have to put SY through hell T_T but ah well, alas, it's a drama so I can't question the logic too much.
Is there any "bromance/censored BL" scenes so far? I'm on ep 12 and I can't see why it even got banned…
Oooh I see! I just finished ep 15 and onto 16 now, and I see what you mean! It was very dry until now and suddenly we're getting more of the "more than friends" vibes now, hehe! Thanks for letting me know.
