Not a Mafia Series But a High School BL
If you were expecting a mafia series from the trailer, you might be disappointed with this one. It's primarily a boys love series, centered around Nuengdiao and Palm, high school students with no connection to crime or the mafia. The series revolves around a bad uncle's desire to take over the family business, which sets the story in motion.
For true BL fans, this series is a delight you won't easily forget. Pond and Phuwin's chemistry is remarkable, reminiscent of MaxTul. Some may criticize their acting, but it's worth noting that this is only Pond's second series. While Phuwin might be a child actor, he has not had any challenging roles until this. People need to understand actors need room to grow and explore different roles. Especially, BL fans who love My School President, I can’t take your critique seriously. You want good acting but make leeway for bad acting when it suits you.
While the series isn't perfect, it's still much more enjoyable than many other BLs released by GMMTV and other Thai production companies. Pond and Phuwin's onscreen chemistry is simply magical, making them one of the best BL couples today. If you watched any of their deleted scenes, you know that the plot holes are the directors choice to make it fluffy instead of dark as many wanted.
This is why Director Jojo is overrated, mainly because of his acclaimed series '3 Will Be Free.' He claimed that he was inspired to make 'Never Let Me Go' 90's Hong Kong crime movies feel about an interclass romance Thai larkorn, but the final result deviated significantly from these concepts. The deleted scenes, in contrast, showcased elements that adhered closely to the original concept of the series. However, being a production under GMMTV, the series ended up diluted, much to the disappointment of many viewers who were eagerly anticipating the well-acted and conceptually-rich trailer. Even the second trailer was misleadingly edited to suggest a more dramatic and substantial BL series, leading to dissatisfaction with the eventual watered-down version. It is regrettable that Pond and Phuwin bore the brunt of the blame as the face of the series, while Jojo's editing choices went largely unquestioned and unaccounted for.
On a side note, I must admit that Chimon isn't the most exceptional actor, but Perth shines in his role. Some scenes, like the one outside the hospital room, rub me the wrong way, especially with Ben's smirking while the cousins were crying. I don’t see the great acting Chimon fans were raving about.
Lastly, I'd like to add that people who criticize the portrayal of bodyguards might be influenced by Hollywood clichés and may not have firsthand experience with wealthy individuals who have bodyguards.
