nonsense writing in the worst way possible, the actors deserved a better script
Overall: up until the end of episode 5 it felt old school Thai BL with the aggressive pursuit of a reluctant pursuee, but the terrible and nonsense writing at the end of episode 5 and after made my score plummet. Note that this review contains words/discussion that may be triggering. Based on the books "Gear & Gown" and "Extern" by Mynt. I haven't read the books and I reviewed the series based on its own merit. 10 episodes about an hour each. Aired on GagaOOLala uncut (not available in: Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Australia, New Zealand, Korea) https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/5571/doctors-mine-2025
Available worldwide ; YouTube Kongthup channel cut (not available in Japan) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_6IR1YkXRg&ab_channel=KongthupChannel ; YouTube Kongthup channel members uncut (not available in Japan and Thailand) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-3lmw1GIQMnDQdR2BDbYNrdcRc3azVoC&si=fCHe5QuQYLf7dXJA and Viu (Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau, Myanmar) uncut though someone said the first episode was cut so maybe some countries get cut and some get uncut. The cut version on YouTube cut down a NSFW scene by 2 minutes (it was in part 2).
Content Warnings: fight, blood, non con kisses, dub con sex, slap, non con touching, manhandling, coercion, *depicted rape that did not actually happen at the end of episode 5, gaslighting, homophobia, punches, fight, past non con touching
What I Liked
- Knight's mother
- chemistry/intimacy with the side couple (and eventually the main couple)
- showed condom use, talked about AIDS and PrEP
- Mild finally showed some interest/initiative in later episodes
- that Per stood up to his mom
Room For Improvement
- nonsense/terrible writing: how did the brother see something when 1 person was fully clothed?, he didn't tell his brother what he thought he saw and just kept punching Knight, everyone saying "trust me" and "I can explain" but then taking way too long to explain, terrible that Knight did more non con before explaining what actually happened
- some of the worst gaslighting I've ever seen in fiction including vomit-inducing lines such as "everything that happens has its reasons" and "what actually happened has a good side to it"
- the cliche 'seemed to be very drunk and then suddenly was sober' in episode 1, also he asked the guy not to do something and then the guy did that exact thing
- the series talks about consent and then has multiple characters ignore it multiple times
- finally in episode 7 we see why Knight was so interested, they needed to show this sooner as he seemed creepy (though saying how he liked that Mild couldn't contact anyone was also creepy)
- flashbacks to recent scenes
- some scenes went on for too long/slow pacing
- noble idiot trope and then Per acts like he couldn't find him when they go to the same school and also had no idea what was wrong?!!!
- a character was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen and future doctors talked a bunch instead of immediately calling for help/applying first aid?!!!!
- draggy 3rd couple then rushed 3rd/4th couples
- that was one of the worst proposals either, so rude to put the love of your live through that
