Read all the bad reviews and watched it anyway

It's pretty clear that YMMV with this series. I thought I was gonna hate watch it, but it became more nuanced than that.

Chon's mom and his friend Na are basically BL unicorns. There's also several other supporting characters who add a lot of comedy.

TW: attempted rape--One big problem that I didn't see get resolved was any consequence for Nueng. It's disappointing, but pretty much what happens in real life for the vast percentage of rapes. Even if criminal charges had never been pressed, I would have liked to see them confront Nueng for his actions beyond that punch Ton threw.

The homophobia is present throughout. I don't see it as much of a negative because the series does portray Ton's father as the one with a problem, and he does get a vicious comeuppance from Auntie Nam. The writing did feel a bit rushed at the end, but meh. I also was not as put out about Miriam acting as a surrogate. Hell yeah she chose an option that got her millions and a nice house. That's her agency at work, y'all.

Probably the most annoying thing about this series was the evil ex-girlfriend. Can we get more evil ex-boyfriends? Or just, you know, move away from evil ex plots in general?
