So much to say, but enjoyed it!
SPOILERS! I absolutely loved this BL, but I understand why some people did not. However, it may be because I overlooked some things, but I genuinely enjoyed watching every second of this. Yes, some parts confused me and made me question, but to me, it wasn't a big deal. I believed this show got a lot more heat because it came out after Kinnporsche, which, if you've seen it, was a lot more mature. But overall, it doesn't deserve all the hate it has to me. It's a typical Thai BL, which usually is more on the cheesy side.
To me, the whole cast did not disappoint either. I was surprised to see Yoon, who plays Kamol, acting as a mafia boss because of his baby face. But honestly, he nailed it so well, I was shocked by how well the role fit him. Then Ton, who plays Kim, is heartbroken through the majority of the show because of his past one-sided love, but slowly heals because of Kamol? I loved it so much. I could see how upset he was, especially seeing Day with Itt. It made me laugh when Kim kept standing up to Kamol and everything, though he is a mafia boss. Their NC, BDSM scenes were more on the effy side, not too realistic but not too terrible or unbearable to watch. Which is why I believe people are hating on it because of the similar but better-made scenes in Kinnporsche. I generally did not care about it, though. The only thing I will say I did not like about their relationship was the way Kamol pushed Kim away when he found out about his and Day's past together. I found myself mad and upset with Kim about Kamol because it was hypocritical of him when he told Kim he did not have to share details about his past relationship because it did not matter to him. Then had the nerve to push him away once he found out. I believe Kim forgave him too quickly and easily. Like sir? No.
Moving on to Khom's and Baiboon's unique relationship. I'm not going to lie here, I wanted them to get together. I could see the chemistry there, but neither wanted to push into that uncharted territory. Even everyone else could see that they both wanted each other. But I can also understand why they did not get together. Khom is Kamol's bodyguard and is constantly being put into potentially dangerous situations. You never know what will happen. Also, Baiboon is much younger than him, so there's another layer to it. I believe he wants Baiboon to get out there and grow up, see other people, and generally live his younger days out without feeling tied down later in life because he never could see other options. Baiboon is young, bright, and sweet, but he isn't naive or stupid. He cares for Khom, and he can see past his lies. In the scene where Khom came out of the shower and was only wearing a towel around his waist because he thought Baiboon had gone out somewhere, he saw the bruise on Khom's back and questioned him. Khom lied to try to make him feel better and to also shield him, Baiboon saw right through it and heard the commotion the night before. He did not like being lied to. In that scene, the way they both were looking at each other, you can see the longing and restraint Khom had at that moment; he couldn't look Baiboon in the eyes. There are so many moments when it was just the two, the looks in their eyes do not lie. Their whole dynamic genuinely makes me happy. I just wish we could have had more of their relationship played out. I can understand why the directors and writers did not play or delve further into it because of the age gap and not wanting to deal with complaints, but I will still dream about it.
Next, the threesome between the other three bodyguards: Lop, Kit, and Ruj? Hello? I did not expect it at all, but I'm not disappointed. Absolutely loved every second of that shower scene. I don't quite have much to say about them individually, except that I loved it when Lop was in the middle of Kamol and Kim's love affairs 🤣
There's so much more for me to say, such as how Cherry's attitude and actions change towards Kim and Kamol were so sudden and fast paced. Or how the comedic relief we always got with Kim's assistants, Jin and Metawee. There's so much I can talk about in this review, but I'll end it here. Overall, I generally enjoyed it and would recommend it if you like typical cliche Thai BLs.
