Totally Worth It~ And Not Just Because of OffGun lol
BASICALLY: 9.5
Let me start this off by saying: I didn't like the book. For several reasons, but this isn't a book review, so I just wanted to say that. Even though I didn't like the book, though, the series is almost COMPLETELY DIFFERENT so far. Like, eons apart. Like, the only similarities are the main five-ish characters, their names, and the friendship between the main four (Black/White, Gram, Yok, and Sean), which is proving to be almost nonexistent in the most interesting twist. White fully expects his brothers friend to be more... friend-like, but what he finds are a group of people together because of a common cause: eat the rich, bitch. Well, not quite, but basically, and I love it, tbh~ The issues discussed and the problems they're trying to fix are important in EVERY country, and I'm glad they made it more about the political issues and rich vs poor struggles rather than the bland, too-predictable crap that the book turned out to be (I was REALLY disappointed in the book, okay?).
ACTING: 10
OffGun~ I mean, 'nuff said, right? They're one of my favorite, OG BL couples. Their acting has improved, because p'Off is generally a funny, joking kinda guy, and we get NONE of that with Sean, who's serious, studious, and always learning. P'Gun also does a great job of showing us the contracts between Black and White: Black, who had to grow up in a harsher environment thanks to his mother, who refused to change, and White, who's grown up with a silver spoon. Black is hardened, while White is optimistic and caring. It's awesome, and p'Gun does a great job showcasing the difference from the beginning. If I were Sean, I'd be confused as hell, too, and the confusion every time White (who cares) has to correct himself and be Black (who would abandon anyone if it meant furthering his goals) really shows on Sean's face. I love the friends, too! I'm interested to see what they do about Gram since he's got his own romantic interest in the book~ Yok does too, but they've completely changed it (in the best way, I swear), so that hypes up the anticipation more~
MUSIC: 8.5
I know it's a bit of a low rating, especially since I love the opening song, but the rest of the sound track is so-so. It's probably because I'm watching Bad Buddy at the same time as this, and the OST in Bad Buddy is purely *chef's kiss*, but it's not as enticing. The opening song is awesome, though, and I definitely saved it to my Thai playlist as soon as I could~
OVERALL: 9.5
It's only episode 4, cupcakes, and I'm already invested. I can't wait to see what happens~ I hope they make a genuine change in society, to be honest, because the characters' stories (especially Sean's) just make me wanna root for them~ And I can't wait to see how the White/Black and Sean is handled, and how White falls, and just all of that great things that makes you wanna watch~ I'm the type of person who waits until the series is over, but I just love it so much at this moment, that I can't wait~
