Lazy screenwriting and stupid plots
I just really feel sad for the actors who are AMAZING, cute patooties, and deserved better characters. Well, let's go. My reviews are always structured by: screenwriting, directing, and acting (while touching on other points in the middle).
It's one of the worst screenplays ever, and it's disappointing because their screenwriting team (they are from a crew) is one of the best, and the people involved were some of my favorite artists in this field. That’s probably why it's so unsettling to me that they were so lazy with this script.
"Boys in Love" doesn’t really have conflicts. Which is not necessarily the problem, it’s weird for a Y-series, but it’s NOT the problem. The problem is that you don’t see development or growth in any of the characters. They start the series and end the series THE SAME, which is a big problem for a series that was supposed to talk about growth, falling in love as a teenager, and the conflicts that come with it (like choosing your career path, dealing with frustrations, etc.).
The main couple, KitShane, was so badly handled. Like… everything was rushed, they get together so early, and then NOTHING relevant happens. KimMon was INSUFFERABLE, and I feel bad for Aston (Mon) to have to play such an idiot. ALL OF THEIR fights were stupid, and not silly like teens fighting, it was plain stupid, and I don’t think they grew out of it during the series. The only fun thing for me in the teens was the couple that wasn’t even a real couple in the series, PerTar (they are hinted but they don't really happen). They were pretty funny, and Tar was my favorite character. He was so funnyyyy. AND PODDPAPANG, I LOVED IT. OLD MAN YAOI. I just feel sad that they weren’t better developed.
Their acting was amazing… especially Luke (Kit). He was a good surprise to me since I didn’t know what to expect. Chokun (Kim) is also amazing, but I already knew my boy. Aston (Mon) was such a good surprise to me. KenPaul were adorable in their little screentime. Podd and Papang, amazing as ALWAYS. Such a good crew for such a BORING series, it makes me a little sad.
At least the series was BEAUTIFULLY filmed. The scenes, scenarios, AMAZING, as always. Parbdee Studios are THE BEST. Everything was cute and beautiful. The directing was okay, but with that script, not even a miracle would save it.
Boring. It would be a 4 if I didn’t like the boys so much.
