Disappointed but honestly not too surprised
Don't read this if you're thinking of watching the series, even just a little. Would recommend u get the experience before reading anything I'm about to say.
Hate to be that person, but as someone who was quite excited for this show, I sure was disappointed. /soorry for the rant-iness of this review. I am just so sad over the outcome.
I will go over the best part of the show first: BankPitch.
Oh, how sad I was that this side couples storyline was skipped in the ways it was... One second they're "mad" at each other over something, the next they're acting like besties, and suddenly they're a couple? I really hate how common this is for most shows, but I ended up being a lot more excited for this side couple's storyline than the main one's. And that is not at all common for me when watching Thai BL dramas. I was not in the least expecting these two to become anything more than acquaintances at most. Guess who was proved wrong, and that's probably why I ended up liking them as much as I did. It was really unexpected. I honestly thought Pitch was gonna be some "villain" type character on the drug lord's side at first, and that uncertainty remained for most of the series. Up until when Bank and Pitch started becoming closer with each other.
The tension when their first (almost-)kiss happened was incredible. It made me really excited for more BankPitch, maybe some backstory n all that juicy stuff. I don't know, the build-up of BankPitch was simply a lot more satisfying than whatever SunSky had going on with the family drama, that Sky's dad later on also joined, I just wasn't at all interested.
But that certainly wasn't going to happen with how short the show was. So I tried real hard not to get attached to them, but the chemistry between Gun and Boat just wasn't comparable to Tenon and Sugus ?? I'm like- I ended up not even really liking Sky as a character towards the later haft of the series. (Sun is soooo precious, he tots grew on me instead, compared to my first impression of him from the beginning).
The show also started feeling quite rushed towards the latter half/last third of the series and I felt like a lot was left unexplored because of the time limit. The time-skip at the end of the last episode also really threw me off, damn I hate those kinds of time-skips. It always feels so unnecessary… and nothing can mend my broken BankPitch heart. I sound so salty over all this but I really was so disappointed in what this series could've become if it only had more time to play with... Not blaming anyone, just personally would've loved a more cohesive storyline with some more thoroughly developed BankPicth is all. I would love to see TenonSugus as an on-screen couple again, this time with a more developed storyline…
Aaah no this series was just so disappointing… :'))
