A Series Worth Watching At Least Once. *VERY VERY LIGHT SPOILERS*
Honestly, it’s a shame that I didn’t watch this series sooner or when it was airing because I had the opportunity to. I have been watching Thai BLs for about 4 years now, and I can very confidently say this is by far one of the BEST I have seen. I am not necessarily a big fan of the OffGun couple and I used to only watch series my favorite couples played in. However, I was INCREDIBLY wrong to do so. Everyone in this show BROUGHT IT. They did not come to play at all! The emotions, characters, and scenarios were played out so perfectly I couldn’t think of any better way they could’ve done it. Off, Gun, and First are some of the best actors in this industry in my opinion... and especially Gun with this role. To be able to pull off two different characters THIS well is a huge indicator of your talent. I was nervous at first that it would feel cringey, or that the acting would be too similar, but it was the exact opposite! The contrast between White and Black was so real, it was completely astonishing to me. The raw emotion felt and the immense amount of realism portrayed in these characters made this series feel so grounded… of course on top of the fact that this is a very real issue that they are tackling. The story is insanely complex and holds true to our world and society even after it’s been a couple of years since its release. The amount of morality questions asked throughout this series pertaining to the justice system and ourselves, really forced you to think from many different perspectives. The cinematography was great as well, it felt real. No heavy makeup, the lighting set the mood, and the music was not obnoxious or “ruining the moment”. The love story was not rushed, and instead it went at a very good pace. I honestly have nothing much bad to say about this series, if I could give it a 10 I would, but I feel there might always be something to improve on… for example, there are some minor plot-holes and I do wish that some things were explained a little more. However, I think they did a good job of wrapping it up regardless. This show made me write my first ever public review because I want to tell people they NEED to watch this. Even if OffGun isn’t your favorite pairing, you can not deny the in-show chemistry and skills they have are some of the absolute BEST. Give this series a try, I guarantee you would love it.
