watch this if you want subpar everything.

subpar plot
subpar romance
subpar production
subpar characters

the acting was good, especially the MC but the ML was uneven

i mean why watch this? its not enough of a good crime/law/mystery thing to justify its existence and the it also gives a very underwhelming and lacking romantic subplot.

lol no one is in mourning for more than a week, and a child died.

its been max a couple of weeks since this death of his (basically) daughter and he is smilling at how cute his love interest looks and skipping at the farmers market? really takes you out of it

production quality is very up and down and mostly down but its not so bad that you cannot enjoy whats working. and whats working is quite good!

lots of yearning, lots of wanting, lots of buildup that doesnt stagnate, lots of romance, much chemistry, good acting and strong romantic arc for the main couple especially.

i dunno how this can be rated harshly for production issues when ABO Desire isnt.

(ABO Desire was laughably bad in this regard, worse than amature stuff but we all cut it slack by understanding the circumstances but theres only so much slack to cut before a review has no contact with reality anymore)

a surprisingly large amount of yearning (emotional) and wanting (physical) in this. i dont even need payoff but sincerely think both of these are crucial to a great romance. so im hopeful!

ok ill give it a chance! i love to see so many peole recommend it and how beloved it is. i might not align but its worth trying just for that! thank you!

ahh fort has no business being an actor. he is worse than anyone in any bl Ive seen. that man was pretty and thats entirely and solely why he is an actor

i was so excited about the second half and yet fortpeat are such terrible actors what the heck. ill stick with it in hopes of enjoying it despite that but unlikely

shame noeul is a weak actor

boss is the best top ive seen in thai bl. you see no hesitation in his approach, and he knows where to land his gaze whenever he does anything romantic for increased effect.

kida is soooo pretty

and its GOOD!

but hey, you actually get an ending so 🤷🏻‍♀️

anyone who is a fan of The On1y One, Addicted and so on, this will give you 80% of that and no more. this dynamic is much much less rich and romantic than those.

pat actor commited and did his best, i think pran actor was too self conscious about it all

ok its an 8,5 but a very enjoyable 8,5

the execution is low on the feeling of romance. i felt it was more romantic before they got together. and even throughout its very chaste and little longing. i live for yearning and longing.

but even without that romantic intensity i want, it wouldve been a 9 if it was a bit better in the acting/chemistry department.

also its annoying how characters dont explain anything to eachother

its funny how in the end Pat had better friendships with his group than Pran with the idiots in his. especially Wai

almost at the end, and theres only a couple of reasons why this isnt a 10 but a 9 instead. the leads seem to struggle with their chemistry when they act lovey-dovey. it falters quite a lot. i think its usually the Pran actor making it so, but im unsure.

“youre my best friend and you didn’t tell me something important so i simply HAD TO publicly humiliate you by making your greatest fear come true with my own two hands”

how can the show fucking make Pran apologize to Wai after that??!!!!!
