What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.
It has been a while since we saw Krist and Singto in a BL series together. So, when this was announced – imagine my excitement! And I will say that there were times when this series delivered, and this could have been solely due to the chemistry of Krist and Singto, which has become better with time. This series relied on the fanbase of Krist and Singto and the nostalgic memory of their first BL series, as some scenes were kind of recreated in this series. We got so many kisses from this couple that had me shocked as well as proud to see how far they have come from their first BL series, Sotus, to now.
While the nostalgia was there and was able to assist in this series, I will say this – this series could have easily ended after eight episodes. I felt that some scenes were not necessary or needed, but I guess they were added to add excitement to this series, I guess. This was clearly seen in episode nine because, like, did anyone know about the illegal gambling, or did that story just sprout out in the ninth episode out of nowhere? And I felt that they just threw me in left field in making Paul the bad guy because I did not see that coming from anywhere. This can also be applied to the tenth episode, as Tam's mom has an issue with her eyes, and her doctor resides in Australia. So Tam goes and lives with her to help her while Tam and Phi develop a long-distance relationship over the years. Again, just out of the right field with me, as we were not previously informed of Tam's mother's ailment.
But all in all, I'm happy to have given this series a chance, as we once again are introduced to the dynamics of Krist and Singto, who have shown to us that their chemistry together is stronger than ever, and (hopefully) here's to more series with GMMTV's first power couple.
P.S. – Did anyone else go 'Ah!' when Krist was dressed up as a turtle and Singto was dressed as a lion? As this is what their mascot (child) Kingman is – a turtle and a lion. Again, GMMTV snuck this small detail in for their fans.
