Incredible chemistry, BUT emotions ruined by excess plot
The opening scene is a freaking hook and i feel like i might watch one hundred BL and not find a scene as steamy.
I like the relationship between the main characters and I'd say displays of PDA were better here than the other two Thai dramas I've watched.
I like the couple but quite often one of them just isn't a very good person. He doesn't make decisions and as a result gets lead around by everyone else. He's also quite gullible and doesn't really think. But i guess a character who's willing to cheat at any point isn't going to be the best character. But i feel like he was overloaded with some annoying qualities and constantly put in the same situation by different people. It's fine if there's a character like that, but i just wish it wasn't half of the main couple.
I rated the rewatch value the lowest, BUT I am consistently watching fan videos of the mains because they're so good together.

My problem: the machination plot was just too much
It would've been a higher rating for me if it was just confusion and infidelity with real emotional reactions, but instead there's a convoluted plot where the girlfriend is manipulating everyone. She was honestly a decent character till that reveal. And I'm just not a fan of vilifying girlfriend characters to make the gay couple canon.
When it became gossip girl with all this puppeteering going on in the background i was just rolling my eyes. They already had decent conflict with the situation but the writers decided there needed to be more.
It also suffers a bit from the fact that it's a prequel to another romance show starring one of the girl side characters. Without ever seeing the original, you could tell this was a prequel to a different series when the "side" female character is the one who solves the final conflict to bring them main couple together. Without her they probably would've never made up. Even if she was the main character of the original, she didn't need to play such a big role here. Unless of course the original series and the actress were half of the reason this prequel got made in the first place, in which case i can understand the need for it.
This could've just been real and raw and confusing and conflicting emotions/choices, but no, they had to introduce hidden agendas and plots.
Everything would've been better if the "here's what's really going on" just didn't happen.
The PDA is top notch though.
