Loved it, but the writing was so bad!
So, the premise in interesting, but the writing is so bad. This is kinda the criticism I have with most thai shows. IDK if its because of bad subtitles or if the story is actually that bad, but this show had so much wasted potential.
I actually quite liked First. I know a lot of people did not like Ryan's acting, but I thought he came across a lot more natural than many newbies - and he *IS* a newbie! While I really could not empathize with Zee and how he treated people, I did think that Frame did a much better job playing Zee than playing Sprite. Also, if Sprite was pretending to be Zee shouldn't he also act like Zee so that he passes for Zee? First has known Zee since they were kids, how does he not know about Sprite. I get that the parents were divorced and the families were not in contact, but the coach seemed like he was close friends with their mom. Sprite was so exaggerated and comical I could not with him. I did love the way Sprite fell for First and tried to make the team a team despite his brother, but it just seemed to strange to me that the team just accepted that this person who is acting nothing like Zee is Zee.
I also didn't understand why Sprite did not confide in First like a bajillion episodes ago. Your lover keeps calling you by your siblings name. Isn't that an ick? Shouldn't he deserve to know who he's sleeping with if you reach that point? I think that was messed up! Especially when Zee and the Girl were involved and Sprite kept insisting he wasn't involved with her. Like what did you think was going to happen. Zee seems to despise First, what did Sprite think was going to happen?
TL;DR: I thought the cast did a fairly good job given how bad the writing was. It is worth a watch if you're interested in movies like parent trap / she's the man and etc that involve twins switching places with each other. Its one of the few BLs focused on Sports so that was also interesting.
