your cutesy but event-free high school drama!!
Just from the headline,you can tell my exact thoughts on Boys In Love.I,personally,love high school dramas so much whether they include a plot or not.This was the absolute situation in this series.You see a bunch of high schoolers go through their teenage life and some minor issues in their relationship but somehow the series manages to captivate the viewers with the fluffy cutesy environment in the high school.
Each of the characters had their very own personalities and I could relate with them all and couldn't blame anyone when a misunderstanding or a problem occured because they were just teenagers and were trying their best in life.So,my #1 comment upon the drama would be that you shouldn't expect much from the storyline since nothing really happens.You won't be upset in any episode because even when the couples fight they casually talk it out and fix things quickly so if you just finished a gut-wrenching drama this could be your choltry.Now,this is the relationship dynamic I want to see in Korean BL's too.Even when the couple is mature and old enough to talk things out they always choose to run and hide but look at these young Thai boys,they fix things quicker than anybody else!
Normally,I don't like BL's with many couples but all of the couples in this series had their unique features and own plots.Starting with the teachers,they were absolutely adorable and showed maturity in the series among all those teenagers.I really thought Tan resembled Shane throughout the series,not looks-wise but personality-wise.They're both nerds and more on the awkward side comparing to the others.Their relationship built up perfectly and I enjoyed watching their scenes a lot,especially when they were going on a vacay and Mon brang Tan,and Nat said "So you just brought another child for me to take care of".I don't know why but I had found it really sweet.
We had Shane and Kit,and they served face cards!Both have great visuals but they weren't the best at acting unfortunately.Mick(Shane) needs to improve his sobbing face immediately because it seems unnatural and spoils all the sad vibes.However,I liked Luke's(Kit) acting more especially on the scenes were he was confused and looked so in love.His smile is so tender and he knows how to use it.They were my favorite couple on the series but Shane's constant ignorance and self-doubt on their relationship pulled me back from being a fan of them.It feels like he'll avoid Kit for the rest of his life,he still seems cold sometimes and don't feel comfortable being in a relationship.
Then we had Mon and Kim..They were my favorite couple on the series however I didn't really like the way their relationship started.Kim is falling in love with everyone and he's lovesick.If Mon had rejected him he would probably move on after 3 days and find a new person to fall in love with and the cycle would continue.But after their relationship formed and obstacles started to occur in their relationship,Kim seems so dedicated to being in a relationship with Mon.I adored the way how he prevented Mon from drinking and brought him home at 10 because his mom said so.There's just something that confuses me a little.In one scene,when they were in the library,the series is hinting us that Kim tends to be afraid to be seen in the public.I thought they would focus on that and explain Kim's thought when he did that but they ignored it!It's not that I want to watch a couple more scenes about a boy who's afraid to be seen because we already had that a lot with Kim and Shane but also I'd prefer everything to be explained and not remain superficial.If you started something then the show must go on!Other than that this couple was too sweet with how clingy they were to each other and Aston's smile and dimples just made everything a hundred times better.
Last but not least we had Per and Tar and how I wanted them to be together.I'm not mad that the storyline didn't cover their relationship though because I loved their scenes as friends and just a shade above that.Probably,if Per had confessed his love to him Tar would open up too but I think that part is left to the viewers discretion.
Other than these four sweet couples and their relationship,I didn't find any problems in the production.The series is filmed well ,I mean there's nothing to say much.
Overall,I liked the series so much however acting could be better for everyone but there wasn't something that irritated me specifically.The plot is bland but cute and captivates you so I would recommend it but I wouldn't rewatch it.
