If you want something cute and short, 10/10 recommend
If you are expecting a well-rehearse UWMA level production with the chemistry of MewGulf, this isn't for you.That doesn't mean it's not good however. First of all, Win (Tossakan/Gun) and Folk (Bar) had the shortest workshop and had to film first out of the series. And I think Win was chosen last out of nowhere. So taking that into consideration, yeah this isn't going to be the best BL you've ever seen. Just because this series is below average doesn't mean it's bad. Having such high standards makes you overlook nice and sweet dramas like this.
If you don't want to read my full review here's the main points:
1. It starts off wonky but it gets better, it's only 4 episodes
2. There is chemistry its just not the type we usually see, especially since Bar is the biggest tsundere, love can be shown in looks rather than touch
3. Don't judge a book by its cover. Win's character should be really hot but don't say Win is ugly or not good looking which is why he doesn't fit the role. That's rude, he tried and so did everyone else.
4. Bar is the most mature BL character I've ever seen and I wish there were more of him. Him and Gun had the most mature relationship too
5. This drama is just a cute miniseries in a trilogy type series, don't compare it to others like UWMA
The first two episodes, I won't lie were hard to watch because the production quality (the cuts between scenes and general blending of scenes) were below average. For the chemistry between them, people saying they had none apparently don't realize that not all couples are touchy feely, some people's love language is more subtle than that. They had alot more chemistry in the last two however which really sold it for me.
People were saying that Gun was a stalker/obsessive and I really don't see it? Like take Sarawat, he fell in love with Tine in high school like Gun did with Bar and liked him for years and tried finding Tine just like Gun. There was a scene in Tossara were Gun's friend was talking about how Gun asked him everything about Bar so he could learn more about him. And that Gun always went to the pool so he could see him, yeah that's lowkey stalkerish but like c'mon how else is he gonna see him if they are in different faculties and it's in a public area it's not like Gun is following Bar to his house. Ya get me? Kla in LBC was much worse tbh. And him being obsessive, when Bar's friends asked Bar to go to the bar with them in the last episode, Gun said no but I don't think he even meant it. He was just trying not to seem like a pushover to his boyfriend's friends. The man has waited 6 years to be with his crush, I don't blame him for wanting to be with him often. Bar tells Gun off too anyway so it's not like Bar sits there and takes it.
And there's alot of hate towards Win which isn't okay. Folk is a great natural actor which makes Win look worse but Win could have been a lot worse. Like I mentioned he was casted last, a new actor as well, and didn't have the much time to workshop with Folk. And people saying he's not as good-looking as his character is rude because it's not like he can change his face. Ae in LBC is suppose to be "ugly" but Perth who plays him is good-looking, some people call this a miscasting but since Perth is good-looking they let it slide, you see what I mean?
In all, this series isn't suppose to be deep nor riveting. It's the type of drama that makes you squeal of cuteness and fall in love with the two leads that's it. If you want to be investing in a long drama with a compelling story, watch UWMA or Tharntype even Why R U. But I still recommend you watch this series and support WinFolk ^^and everyone else who helped.
