Well-balanced BL drama
This is one of numerous Thai BL I've watched during quarantine and is by far my most favorite from the genre. I wouldn't say this drama is perfect, in fact it has flaws in various aspects.
Story wise, TTTS brings out serious issue such as childhood trauma and mental health problems but 12 episodes was clearly not enough to peel them all through thus making the drama felt unsatisfactory for some. Another thing is that the drama has multiple nonconsensual acts which weren't addressed properly. Let's say people can brush off few 'fictional' issues, but at the very least a drama has to convey which behavior is deemed wrong or right to its audience. Even with the story's faults, I appreciate the neat pacing of each episode.
Acting wise, both main actors can portray their roles quite well despite not having that many experience under their belt. Some parts can be improved but more experience will hopefully do the job. The drama also has one of the best chemistry I've seen in Thai BL to the point where I can't be convinced watching other BL couples.
Lastly I wanna give kudos to newbie director Tee Sinta for making the story come to life, for casting suitable actors, for capturing beautiful shots even with limited budget and no sponsor. Once you see the drama, you'll understand how good his directing is.
TTTS is not perfect but well-balanced. The plot has depth, the acting is good, the humors are well-timed, music placement is wonderful, and the directing is superb. What more can you ask for?--
