a brilliant, underrated gem
lately, I have stopped watching BLs due to the fact that nothing is seems to be good about it anymore. the stories, specially the plot is too bland and ordinary--there's nothing exciting about it. It's either the story is too cute that it's cringey, too explicit it looks like a romanticized porn or too violent that's it'd be too hard to get past the first episode.
another thing is the theme of a particular series itself. I'd honestly say this even if I'll get hate from rabid fans---but I really hate the redundant, repetitive and overused "mafia-falling in love-with his bodyguard" and "high school love" tropes. If I'd ever came across such series, I drop it immediately. It sucks and is really boring as hell.
but this one----it has everything I want in a series; though the story and plot itself is not that extraordinary, but the characters and the actors portraying them are so brilliant, one can't help but be impressed. Chan's cunning and clever ways, his arrogance and how flirty and feisty he is---specially to Tin. and Tin, being the tsundere that he is, compliments so well with Chan's playfulness. JamFilm's chemistry is fiery enough to set the screen on a blaze, making the series withy to watch from the first episode to the last. and the second lead couple? deym, Boi. they're so adorable together---and their story didn't overlapped that of the main leads, nor did the main leads overshadowed them. the screen time for both couples are equal, and I applaud the director and writers for that.
Overall, this is a highly recommended story for all BL lovers out there. You'll love it, promise ?️???
