We need more of this!
This series blew my mind in so many aspects!
1. The story: It is so unique and full of depth. It's not only a love story but a story about friendship, social injustice and how different people have to work together for the same goal. And how such a goal like to change a rotten system can even be achieved.
2. Representation: This series finally shows you well-rounded characters, even if they're only side characters. The women of this show are not your typical hysterical girl that only exists to cause drama. No, they have their own minds and goals, which they communicate as well. We don't have your typical gay men either, and we have a trans character who is not used for comedic relief but triggers some important conversations in the group.
3. The music: For a BL this has a unique soundtrack which I loved. Every song fit the scene perfectly by underlining its atmosphere and there were a lot of them, not just one or two that get repeated over and over but a huge variety.
4. Cinematography: This series is an eye-candy. So many beautiful and also interesting shots. Sometimes you really feel like you're being pulled into the screen by how the director used the camera.
5. Acting: The cast chosen has done an incredible job. I have never seen Off and Gun representing such deep characters, and you can really see how much they have grown as characters. It was also my second time to see First in a series, and I was again blown away by his acting skills. Such a delightful watch!
Overall, you can really feel that the director is part of the LGBTQ+ community and has an eye for what's going on right now and what maybe is not talked enough about in mainstream media, which is why it is great to have this piece of art. I highly recommend you to watch this show if you want to understand Thailand's society better, to maybe get some new perspectives on some issues and to see a beautiful love story.
