3 will be free is one of GMMTV's better series with good acting and an interesting storyline. Tay does some of his best acting in this series (in my opinion), and I like the way he portrayed his character. I also like how the character was written, none of the usual BL or gay caricaturist nonsense. Shin is a confident young gay man who knows who he is without shame and internalised homophobia. The character is very cute and Tay manages to pull of a sexy geek. Neo does a very good job as well considering this is one of his first acting roles, and I like how he seems really comfortable with himself, the topic, the character, and just dives in to the role without fear. It was also refreshing to see a pan/bisexual character in a series. Mild is a fairly seasoned actress but this is a somewhat different role for her, and I enjoyed her interpretation as an independent strong young woman who doesn't take crap from anyone. None of this "barbie doll" nonsense you normally get which annoys me. Give us strong independent women! All three main characters are very likeable.

The premise and storyline are good. 3 individuals from different backgrounds who don't know each other end up on the run due to circumstances beyond their control. I won't go into too much detail so as not to spoil it for anyone. The story starts quite strong, intriguing and exciting. The cinematography is really good and risks have been taken which in my view have paid off. It feels dark and gritty which I like as it's a refreshing change from the usual perfect school/university/rich surroundings we get from most shows.

I would've given this a higher score if it wasn't for the final episodes and how the story concluded. I think it lost its way a bit toward the end, it's almost like they needed to quickly wrap it up. Parts of the ending got a bit convoluted and slightly far fetched in my view.

A really good series though, and one of my favourites to come out of GMMTV thus far. I think it's quite underrated as well, as most people seem to prefer the fluffy stuff instead, so this hasn't received as much attention as it deserves. I think GMMTV should do more of this type of series and showcase some greater diversity in their programmes. It also gives their actors an opportunity to prove themselves. There's a preference to have "perfect" environments in the shows but this can get a bit tiresome and repetitive. Better to shake it up once in a while and I'm glad they took a chance with this.
