okayish - sometimes cute but easily forgettable

This is not a bad drama, but it has absolutely nothing particularly interesting either.
Like many other Thai (BL) dramas, the main couple gets boring after a few episodes and only the side ships were there to keep my motivation to go through the last episodes.

Bohn/Duen really didn't hit. There was little to no chemistry between the actors and with such an empty relationship background, I can't really blame them. At first, you can feel a bit of an 'enemy to lover' vibe that never fully works, be it as enemy or lovers. There's a little rivalry at the beginning that jumps to them having feelings for each other with absolutely no transition and background to make me get into this ship. Let's not talk about the neverending scenes of Bohn being jealous, not trusting his partner and acting like a brat followed by all the fights and pseudo-make-up scenes *add a dramatic eye-roll* followed by some ridiculous drama for Duen. Overall, it felt more like a childish play of possessivity and jealousy I really have no appreciation for.
Thankfully, I kinda liked the other two side ships.

For BossMek, Boss is kinda cringy at times with how desperate he looks with girls and Mek's one-sided feelings are a bit overplayed, but kinda relatable. Overall, the dynamic between both is not exceptional but okay. What really put me off though is the terrible dubbing for Mek. I really struggled to keep up with the low quality of it and I hope they improve that if they plan to hire more foreign actors.

RamKing are essentially the ones I kept watching for. It starts off distant and simple, so I wasn't expecting much, but they grew on me. They have a silent understanding of each other's boundaries and are still playful in a non-overacting way, which made it very easy to watch. If only for them, if you have a lot of free time and look for a BL with a simple plot, it might be worth a watch - without expectations and probably a bunch of scenes to skip.
