The chronicles of butts

It's a known fact that BOC has ass fetish, so you know you are going to see some bare butts when you watch this.

The reason I didn't want to watch this is I didn't like the story, it's not really my cup of tea but I saw too many edits for the second couple which made me intrigued.

And as I expected, I didn't like it very much, and I ended up with too many things that bothered me

1-where is the comedy? This is supposed to be a romcom as far as I know, yet it's all about politics and power games, if it wasn't for the second couple i wouldn't even dare to call it romantic, well I mean it has romance but not satisfying one, the whole comedy part is put on Mile's shoulder and my man isn't even that funny, I dare say his character was annoying to some extent.

2- what is the role of tanwa? Tanwa is supposed to be the main lead character next to Trin, right?? Nope!! That's not the case, all he did was live a happy go lucky life, seduce a - supposedly - straight man, and piss his dad off. Aside from that he can be completely removed from the cast and the series would still be the same, he contributed nothing to the story aside from being the love interest of Trin and he can easily be replaced by Victor.

3- why isn't Victor one of the main characters? That guy was fantastic, he nailed his role which was big btw, he even appeared more than Tanwa - until you know what happens - he was a better person whose conversation is up to bar with Trin's, and there is a fairly good reason for them to be together, also he and Trin both try to make the other person a better version of himself.

4- the way the solved the whole lert situation! A video? Really?? This has to be the most unreasonable and unrealistic way to prove someone is innocent, better make the bad guy surrender and admit to all his crimes, I wasn't really invested in the riot part but I was waiting to see how will they solve everything and tie all the loose ends.

5-happy end for the wrong couple!! I wish they did the second couple the same courtesy they did the first, alas they didn't and they opted to only keep things fairytale-like for the first but very very realistic to the second, I was fine with the end I wasn't disappointed or anything, this was late 60s so what else can I expect? Happy end for homosexual couple? Don't be ridiculous!

I believe that sums everything up, on the bright side, you can enjoy what BOC can do most, great cinematography, and nice direction, story and character, probably not so much.
I believe after 4mins and this, I won't have any high expectations from BOC anymore...
