I don't understand the hype
I dropped this series back when I watched Episode 1 because I found it cringey, but I ended up crawling back since I had nothing else to watch. It’s actually not the cringiest BL out there, so it was tolerable for me, but since there were so many good Thai BLs before, I never really prioritized this one. And now, I’m dropping it again at Episode 5. This series is just not for me. I can’t push myself to continue the remaining episodes.
The concept is slightly similar to 2gether: one lead is being bothered by a guy he’s not interested in, another guy comes in to “save” him, they get stuck in a situation where they have no choice but to pretend they’re a couple, and eventually, real feelings start to develop.
But this series didn’t hook me. Most of the scenes feel flat, and the writing is weak. The dialogues are boring and sometimes don’t even make sense. Teerak’s character is actually really nice, but sometimes he feels over the top—almost like he’s acting like a teenage girl at times. It’s not the actor’s fault, though; it’s more on how the character was written or directed. One of the actors also feels stiff with almost no emotion, expression, or life in his eyes—but to be fair, there’s always room for improvement. I hope he grows as an actor because he’s definitely easy on the eyes.
Another downside—and one of the biggest reasons I’m dropping this—is the excessive use of sound effects. It’s in almost every scene, even when it doesn’t fit. It’s not funny anymore; it’s just irritating. Why are some Thai BLs like this?
