A Little Bit Dissapointing.
I've given the rating that I have for multiple reasons. (This is a review based on my own opinions. There could be people that feel totally different about this series and you are welcome to. I just write these reviews because I like putting my thoughts on a series on paper.)
1. Great story idea but not well executed. I liked how their relationship started as hating each other to loving each other but the execution of it was pretty disappointing. The chemistry was really lacking as well. I don't want to insult or discredit the hard work that these actors do for these series but sometimes it just doesn't work. The story is quite focused on the sexual aspect of their relationship because that is how it started but even with that I was a bit disappointed.
2. The rest of the series was a little bit to fast paced. The beginning is pretty fast with the couple basically both getting drugged because of bad handling of the drugs and then having sex and you would understand that that part comes first and is quite fast paced because it is the start of their relationship as it were. But the rest of the story was just as fast paced which made it feel distant for me. It feels like they were trying to put multiple storylines in one season of just 8 episodes. It also wasn't edited or shot as if a lot of time passed between when they met each other and they eventually ended up with each other. It felt like a week passed and they were from hating each other to loving each other.
3. Nothing major happens to break up this couple. There was a friend of Yai that showed up that was a slight threat to their relationship but very quickly you know that Yai only sees him as a friend and nothing more. The engagement issue was solved in one episode. I honestly thought that that would be a problem throughout the entire series but it wasn't. I think that that would have been better for the story. They wanted to put too much in 8 episodes.
4. Kinky stuff hinted at in trailer but next to nothing in series. In the trailer there was hinted to Yai liking more kinky stuff and there were some very quick shots with some in it. In the series there was nothing of that kind. Now I have to say that if I like a BL or not doesn't depend on that but when you insinuate that this is the case you should at least deliver some of that. In episode 3 there was a moment that Yai was getting whipped by a girl in Dominatrix outfit while he was just sitting on the side of a bathtub uninterested in what she was doing. Guys that was all that they put in the series that was hinting at a kinky side to him. I was really disappointed with that. If you don't want to put something like that in a series then don't hint at it. The timing for me with that is also really annoying because it almost feels like they wanted to pull the VegasPete fans in with the trailer but then never delivered.
I didn't even notice that the 8th episode was the last episode when I was watching it. There was nothing in this series that jumped out at me and excited me. There was nothing that really drew me into the story. Nothing that made my heart beat faster or made me feel sad or angry. I would probably watch, if there is going to be , a 2nd season of this show but only when it has fully aired just because waiting for this show was a bit disappointing every week.
