It is so crazy, that I had to finish it
I watched Sangmin Dinneaw because of how explicit and crazy the NC scenes are between the couples. I remembered watching it when it was airing for its 2nd episode. That episode trended so much because of a side couple having an NC scene while at work.
Sangmin Dinneaw revolves around the story of Sangmin & Dinneaw. Yes, the main characters' names are also the name of the title. This type of title naming is typical to the Boys Love industry, so there is nothing new to it.
Dinneaw and his family owns a sort of staycation in Thailand. When Sangmin was a kid, he used to stay there, because he was an exchange student from South Korea. Dinneaw's mother basically raised him for some time when he was a kid. When he went back to South Korea, he never contacted the family for 10 years, then suddenly he came back once again in Thailand, and stayed again with Dinneaw's family. Since both of them are young adults now, they felt some spark from each other. The story revolved around their feelings with each other, how they worked-it out, and Sangmin's reason on why never contacted Dinneaw's mom for those 10 years.
The plot is just the usual type of two people falling in love with each other. There is nothing new or special with it. In terms of the casts acting, they gave what they needed to give with the characters that they are portraying. To be honest, I felt a little stiff with the way some actors acted, especially Sangmin because his character's facial expression and the way he spills his line is monotonous. To be fair, I still enjoyed the series because of how cute Sangmin's character acted.
Unfortunately, the script and the plot itself is a mess. There are many scenes that is not necessary to be included. I felt like this series has the potential to become the best, but sadly I felt like it was all over the place and the viewers only started watching it because of the NC scenes shared and posted in different social media platforms. Actually, the NC scenes were also a hit or miss. There were NC scenes wherein it was beautifully done and the passion and tension transverse through the screen (Most especially Sangmin & Dinneaw's NC scenes). There were also NC scenes wherein I just find it funny, instead of feeling the hotness while watching it.
In short, the whole series is satisfactory. It will be based only on the viewer if they would like to continue watching it or not. Based on what I see in the social media platforms, many viewers are dropping this series, because they are feeling cringe while watching it, and I personally understand them. There are many moments wherein the story is just being funny, not making any sense, and I am just being dumbfounded. I personally cannot drop it so I finished it until the end.
In totality, I personally would not recommend it to other viewers. There are so many things that must be worked-on for it to be considered one of the best BL series produced and this was not it. I am still thankful on how it spiced up my Monday morning (The IQIYI uncut was being posted at 12:45 AM here in the Philippines) and I had fun watching and waiting for it every week.
