One of the best LBTQ series from Thailand
This is director and screenwriter Noppharnach Chaiyahwimhon (also known as Aof) best work yet. The way Aof manipulate and use the Thai language to truly convey a feeling or deepen the meaning of a sentence by changing pronoun or the choice of words is phenomenal.Additionally, Aof has a tendency to use scenes with no/ little lines in his work where the focus is solely on the actor(s) in the scene, which is something that is used in this work as well. In order for those scenes to really stand out there has to be good quality acting. Nattawat Jirochtikul (nickname Fourth) takes the silent scenes and conveys character Tanlak's anxiety and worries beautifully. The viewer feels the characters' emotions as if they are our own emotions.
This is definitely Fourth's best acting performance yet. I am highly impressed by his and co-actor Norawit Titicharoenrak's (nickname Gemini) acting in this piece of art (because that is really what it is).
Additionally, another way that Aof has so carefully chosen every spoken word in the series is so brilliantly thought through. The series criticise religion in an objective way, meaning that the use of words and the acting shows that it is not god or religion that is an issue of accepting your sexuality or yourself but rather each individuals own perception of religion.
Every person (LGBTQ or not) should watch this masterpiece.
