I really liked it but there’s a reason I only gave it a 5 out of 10.
This is the first Thai BL I ever watch and there were things I really liked, but the bad things sometimes overtook the good ones to the point where I thought about stopping watching it.
First thing is the acting. Except maybe two actors (Zee and Saint), the others were really bad at it and I can understand it if it’s the first time they’re acting, but it threw me off a lot of times.
The story is a bit messy at points. It starts with Zon being the main character of the drama, but at some point the story is mainly focused on the Tutor and Fighter relationship, and they kind of forget about showing us the evolution of Zon and Saifah’s feelings for each other. And I’m not even going to talk about all the secondary characters and their relationships that are shown from time to time, which are underdeveloped and a bit thrown to your face without almost any context about who these characters are.
About my favourite characters of this drama: the chemistry between Fighter and Tutor is amazing and it kept me completely hooked to the point where I appreciated a lot that they became almost the main focus of the story, because they were the only reason I finished this drama. Their acting is really good and their story is well developed, showing us their struggles and them talking about their worries most of the time (and also the consent guys!!). I really liked that theirs was not the typical bad guy falls for the good guy and they do dirty things but the good guy doesn’t make any movement until the other does. No, it wasn’t anything like that and I really liked it. Why I say their acting is really good? Their eyes. That’s it. They truly know how to express their feelings through their gazes.
Now that I’ve said that, I must say that I really appreciated the talking about LGTBQ+ rights. It’s not often you watch a show where they discuss these matters, and they were really well talked about in this drama. Fighter having an issue with his dad not accepting his sexuality was pretty much realistic, and they handled it very good.
All in all, I have confused feelings about this BL and that’s why I gave it a 5/10.
