plot what plot/prn without plot

non-spoiler part
Due to this serie beginning with them having intercourse, it loses its 'rivals to lovers' type. After the first episode, it starts to feel like exes to lovers tbh. There are some social messages thrown here or there, only to be accompanied by "wife" trope. Constantly having unresolved conflicts and unreasonable behaviours leaves a dissatisfied feeling, plot does not contain important linking scenes. Chemistry flies away after couple of episodes, they do not bond well and their happiness (as well as sadness) seem superficial- poor acting being the reason. There could be a better storyline and it feels like this was another wasted potential.

spoiler part:
1-girls' coming out to parents part was severely unrealistic and the reason why they suddenly talked about having marriage rights was not explained, because they never faced discrimination in the plot, and was always supported in their decisions (even their coming out was so easy, over text?!)
2-right after proposing to be friends and developing a whole dialogue regarding that, mangkorn kisses yai. Like heck dude, kissing homies is a very friend thing to do?
3-beginning was all about Yai being a kinky demon but now it is all about him being cute, small, vanilla, playful kid. Power play is out of the window, mangkorn literally proposed to have kids to his "wife" and he blushed.
4-there is no proper character introduction and/or development other than whatever these 2 are doing. Bodyguards? No they are just goofy side characters that appear when it is conventional to Yai. Girls? Yeah just side couple that we only see in a happy mood. Nine? Nop just a thirdwheel.
5-I laughed so much at kiss scenes and how they filmed it from 5 different angles every time. Camera quality is good but the angles are questionable. Some crucial scenes are missing but hey, do you want a whole episode containing them running around in a park?
6-So they are engaged, but mangkorn does not tell yai, however yai is mad at him for not saying it earlier. I am not judging his priorities but plot would be better if he was inherently mad at him for having a fiancee and choosing to express this in another way, maybe a bit gaslighting too. This would be the Yai that tried to drug and SA mangkorn, and would be relevant to his character. And mangkorn would be better by seeing thru his actions, and that Mangkorn would be the one that could reverse the blackmail card and assert his own dominant figure.


Whatevs, I was expecting some mythical touches and them being relevant to the plot, but no, it was too much to ask.

not that deep

everybody keeps on claiming that it has depth, a background or a solid logical base. no my lads, it doesn't. a doctor tries ro implement will to live thru r@pe. it feels lije somebody wrote smut and then tried to add some plot or a base to it. theres no match, pacing sucks, holes in the plot timeline... there was no real shift to affection, no post trauma behavioral disorders or any legit reaction- even stocholm syndrome would make sense in this unimportant piece of work but no, they skipped it for the sake of "good mutual fixed love ending". nobody needed a happy ending, nobody even expected it. they could stick to a effed storyline and make it all about ass@ult or whatever but no, they have to establish all them cute tropes.

sometimes i write last minute essays on my phone- but even them have a better plot structure than this thing. if any of you dig into this movie and find something of value- it is not because of the movie, but it is your own productive and logical thinking skills. Superficial and boring, but yea hornyjail.

Do not watch after balcony ep

The storyline does not feel familiar after learning who is the enchante. I have watched dozens of BLs, but haven't seen a worse ending than this. They could have k*lled the leads and it would, honestly, would have been better. Rewatch value stands for the primary episodes, where their chemistry still exists. That balcony ep made me comment positively on how this serie was progressing and no, I have never been let down this bad. Last eps were outright disrespectful to the viewer, destroying the whole theme, adding surprises to keep people engaged and both chemistry&acting flying out of window. Actors are new to the industry and one of them is better than the other. Only one character carries the show and yea, that is pretty much how this show receives a still avarage score. I sometimes find myself wishing for a cheating plot, rather than this careless, meaningles, pointless end. They had so many things to explore: trust issues, reasons, school projects... Instead they created new superficial plots and unplanned topics. Anyway 10/6 because theo is a nice name and akk looks like my crush- otherwise this show is a solid 4.
