cute and endearingly awkward. i wanted more tho.
it was cute. nothing groundbreaking, less corny and cringe than the other thai BLs i've seen but don't get me wrong, it's still there. it's ~endearingly~ corny still at times for sure lol. i do like that we got a little development here with the romance at least before they got together. i would have loved for the plot to be better than that for sure and the characters to have more personality or depth especially est's character, po. also because it started so strong. but the on-screen chemistry between est and william was really good. i think they're adorable. my favorite part was the quiet, mundane scenes between po and thame. the romance was peaking when they just talk over the phone or whenever they walk home together and never wanted that walk to end aaah.
i think it's very interesting that these characters are an actual boy group and after this, william is indeed going to get more attention. let's just hope what happened here won't happen to them lol kidding aside, as much as i loved seeing the team dynamics and the bond between the boys, i would have loved if they dig deeper with the issues of idol life. i thought it was all surface level. giving the character fern, the admin of their fanpage, an arc is good i guess. of course, i did not like her reaction when she found out about pepper's love life and it's annoying that their idol had to suffer first before realizing "lol oh wow he's human too. just like me" BUT I KNOW THAT'S THE POINT LOL these kind of fans exist in real life and they're even worse so!! when it comes to po's character, i just wanted more you know? more personality and more passion on being a creative. i never really believed he liked directing and that he's filming a documentary. but why am i asking for realism in thai BLs lol
when it comes to acting, i would use "endearing" again, they are all endearingly awkward at times but overall, i'll buy it especially william's actually which surprised me. the other members of lykn are charming as well. (didn't like the part where nano was being a shipper tho. that's just too much for me. make it stop lmao) i gotta say i was so confused tho that they kept using korean idol industry terms like sasaeng. are they really using that or just the translation? either way, that's weird.
honestly, i don't like that the thai BL industry fell into the "love team" culture as well because i would love to see these actors work well with other people too but hey, i think gmmtv did good pairing william and est.
