Standing Ovation for Nut Supanut
Wow....
That has to be the first line, because I was just not expecting to love this series as much as I did. I knew it was going to be good, but... oh my god, it was amazing. Nut Supanut , thank you for your service as being one of the first BLs with a leading feminine gay/transgender women to take the stage and nail everything on the head. Seriously, this was such beautiful work. I hope there's an award in his future for this darling role.
Let's Dive In.
When it comes to historical BLs, I typically can get bored pretty quickly or just completely zone out of the story telling, but in ITMBC, I paid attention to everything because it had my attention from the jump. The world building, the character arcs, the situation that was brought to us. And, on top of that, while also being touching, it was also extremely hilarious. The balance was just perfect, and I truly appreciate a show that can make me cry and laugh all in one scene.
Genuinely, I feel like the romance between Woradet and Kosol was not the most important plot of the series. If anything, it felt like a back burner to other, more important topic brought up in the series. Actually, I didn't care much for their relationship. I think it becomes more impactful during the end, but in the beginning, it doesn't feel as strong as they present it to be. Which brings me to my next point, the story told in this is top tier. What a lovely, complex plot that made perfect sense and went from one plot point to the next.
Moving on to my real love of this series: the friendship between Jade and Chai. I will be honest, I was hoping for more than a friendship between these two, but steadily, the show wanes you away from that, and shows that these are two dudes that have been through a lot together, and have managed to find their way out together. How beautiful. But, I do need to see someone make out with Lee, and quickly, cause that man is so beautiful.
Love the representation with get in this, and for once, I think the ending worked perfectly for the message they were trying to convey.
Ratings:
Story: 8.5/10 - A beautifully told story. I do wish we could learn about what happens to Woradet's life when she doesn't decide to go back to the present, but overall, a lovely story.
Acting: 9.5/10 - Everyone did so lovely! Seriously, Nut, of course, stole the show for me. One of the best roles plays thus far this year.
Music: 6/10 - Didn't pay attention to it.
Recommendation Value: 8/10 - PLEASE WATCH! this was funny and real and fluffy and loving. Also, Ping is shirtless plenty of times if that helps. Sculpted by god, my goodness.
