it's not worth the hype
Should I start with the fact that 80% of this was sexual content? what was with Tonkla and that raw chicken thing and also the fact that he was a LITERAL MINOR (or almost a minor? idk, but it doesn't matter) unfortunately I found out after I finished watching it, otherwise I would have dropped it.
CHARACTERS
In the beginning, I liked the natural way the main couple was connecting, and I also liked the fact that they weren't likable, they were such grey characters, it really added to the depth of the show. I didn't really like them as a couple though, they didn't have good chemistry nor did they have enough good interactions for me to feel anything for them. Everything about the romance was rushed and empty. Korn and Tonkla pissed me off, but even though Tonkla had a lot going on (I won't say bc spoilers), he literally carried the show. If I pretend the sex scenes don't exist, the character's story was really interesting and was very well portrayed by the actor, the youngest actor was surprisingly the better actor. Korn was just there to be another shitty character, he literally did nothing, he was just there to be like "omg why is this happening" and to be a bad person, no purpose, no depth. Win was even worse, what did he even do on the show? He was doing NOTHING, every time he was on the show he was 1. having sex with Tonkla 2. Doing a lot of nothings just wandering around. Not even as an inspector he was good, unbelievable.
MUSIC
Please, do I even need to say anything? Terrible soundtrack, Tyme had a terrible random 5m music clichê moment, and then the BL ends with a KinnPorshe song... It's like they just didn't give af about the music lmao, it made the whole viewing experience so empty.
STORY
The plot had SO MUCH potential, like the whole 4 minute concept was really interesting, the execution? terrible. They focused too much on the sex scenes, like the first half of the show nothing really happened and it was just Tonkla being horny with whoever was in front of him. Dude calm down with that raw thing pls, this was legit porn, they didn't need to show THAT MUCH. i swear to god i saw a dildo somewhere, Win's thing was literally hanging please tell me i'm not the only one who saw that omg.
Then they rushed the 2nd half, it's like they realized "wait, this is supposed to have a plot" and then made everything happen at once and it was bad. I don't agree with the people who said it was confusing, I think it was the opposite, I literally figured it out (the whole 4 minute thing) in the beginning, it was so obvious, and then the so called "confusing part" was just them trying to turn something simple into something confusing just to make it seem like it was WOW, but it ended up being meh. poorly written, everything about it except Tonkla's story was bad. But it could have been something so good if they had given less screen time to other characters' sex lives and focused more on creating a meaningful connection between the main characters and building the whole 4 minute plot.
PRODUCTION
It was a wasted good production because even though the execution of the story was shit, it was really well produced, you can tell it had a higher budget than other BLs. The colors, I liked how they tried different angles and the cinematography... everything about the production was pleasant and nice.
To sum it up, it was a good production of badly written sci-fi and an empty romance full of porn. If you like that, enjoy. But since the actor who did most of the sex scenes was underage/too young, I wouldn't recommend it.
