Could have been a real good series.
This drama was for me really disappointing. I haven't been able to read the novel yet but even without that there are so many things that I just can't get over with this series.
First, the trailer gave the impression that it was going to be a steamy series. It doesn't mean that I only like that type of series but if you say BDSM at least deliver it enough to be allowed to mention it. It looked as if Kamool only liked rough sex sometimes but in the beginning he was frustrated about no man being able to handle it. That just doesn't make sense. In the beginning of the series Kamool was that rough that the man was covered in what looks like gashes yet somehow Kim only ends up with some hickeys.
Second, I really like the actor who plays the role of Kamool and love some of his previous series but this series was acting wise not my favorite. Not just from his side but also the actor who played Kim. It really felt superficial. Their portrayal of the emotions of the characters was not great. Was it awful? No not really. I have read some other reviews and agree with them that the actor's seem to not know what was exactly expected from them. Like they were given the script the day of shooting and were told to wing it.
Third, I am a person who loves a BL even when the budget is low and the sex scenes are scarce. Why? Because when the actors can show a real good chemistry it can save a series even when they barely have any kiss scenes or even have when they have no kiss scenes. In the beginning of this series their chemistry was, in my personal opinion, the best. I don't know how long they had the time to prepare but it feels that they barely had any workshops together before shooting. I think that with some more time this series could have been a lot better.
I probably will rewatch this one time just to see if I could see something that can save this series for me or if I have skipped something important when I was watching it but after that probably not.
