Episode 1 is like a line in Gear’s scene “In bed, you’re as bland as a kid’s meal.” Ouch! Now that’s a classic breakup line! Poor Gear just got his ego served on a kiddie plate, and now he’s determined to turn himself into a plate of Pad Kra Pao loaded with Thai bird’s eye chilies … hot, spicy, and guaranteed to leave someone begging for more!

It’s a deliciously naughty premise for a first episode, but can the writers keep this dish sizzling for all 10 episodes, or will it lose its flavor halfway through? I’m still on the fence about the leads’ acting skills, but maybe this series is banking on its NC scenes to keep us hungry for more. And with Fort and Peat joining the menu, things are bound to get even spicier!

But seriously … give me some character development and a storyline with substance. Too many Thai BLs serve up plenty of skin but barely enough plot to fill an appetizer plate. I don’t mind the heat … just give me something worth chewing on! Chemistry is great, but without a story to hold it together, even the hottest romance eventually goes cold.

So I’ll save the rest of my review for the finale … assuming this series can keep me interested long enough to get there. Ten episodes is plenty of time to turn up the heat, but also plenty of time to burn the whole damn dish. Let’s see what the writers are cooking!
