ANOTHER IRRITATING LONG ADVERTISEMENT

I'll save you the trouble and tell you for free. DONT WATCH IT. It's an incredibly stupid series and I'll list all the reasons why.

STORY. 1/10
Dislikes.(I really mean "hate")
There isn't any story here, it's lackluster with all the BL clichés, tropes and zero substance and even worse, it was so poorly executed, I can't stress that enough, the execution was the major problem. Same old story of two men who meet in an unlikely situation and caught feelings for each other and won't communicate, run around pretending to like each other, this story could have gone so so well but they ruined the whole thing, and since we're talking about the story, it's the writer and GMMTV to blame for this nonsense, they have this disease because they have an established platform to drag in viewers to watch misleading contents because they trust us to be stupid. This shit show and SIMM are the exact same but this is exceedingly worse. In fact, they are the same. They are just irritating in their own different ways.

Likes. So if this could had been executed differently because I liked the change of scenery, where the show was set which was quite nice and new for me and I liked the culture that was brought to play but they ruined the sweet memories I had, I hope by next year I forgot entirely I ever wasted my time on this.

ACTING. 1/10

Dislikes.
First of all.. ????
What acting?
The leads especially can't act even if their lives depended on it, every expression is forced, movement, words, even the unnecessary pauses they take when talking is so infuriating my goodness! Just to extend the running time
To top it off, this is 2022 and Thailand are the lead in production of BLs(not the best products, they just produce a lot, for popularity and money) and yet GMMTV can't get people who actually know how to do their jobs? Why act a BL if you know that you can't execute a job when working with same sex partner, like why bother? For fame? To seek attention. Well you got it. Def not from me tho. Because these four men do more "acting" off screen than on screen and it's so obvious, you can't act but you're going out there being flirty and doing "skinship" omg. They are just the worst. If they put in that energy in the series as were supposed to this would have been better. You're acting like you like someone just so people could "ship" you and you'd get love and attention on a series that doesn't make sense. GMMTV encourages this unhealthy behavior instead of getting people who are suitable and want to work. Make a good story and you don't need to act like you anything but colleagues/friends off screen but no. They roll off the back of delusional fans that think they are cute when they absolutely are not. This is emotional extortion at its peak!

Likes.
The kids were even better actors than the leads and the second couple from the prequel that they kept shoving down our throats because they couldn't think of a better way to add substance to the show just how to bring in an advert every two seconds.
The kids were so cute and played the roles right on the money. brought lots of fluff and necessary chaos, loved them
The friends did a good I tried to save the day whenever they showed to the screen but really their efforts couldn't save this mess.

MUSIC. 1/10
Please don't get me started on how they play the same instrumentals every time ??? to force some kind of connection or "moment"
It felt like torture. The tune was even better than any moment they were trying to portray but at some point, because they all played it in horribly acted moments, it became quickly associated with pain to my ears. Rolled my eyes every time it came on.
They didn't even put the effort to make good music or insert good songs to keep the flow

REWATCH VALUE.

Even if you want to kill time, this isn't it. It's better to stare at the ceiling, trust me
Because that's why I started it in first place, to keep busy till the good stuff I follow drops.

OVERALL.
It really shouldn't exist but considering it does, you don't have to see it. I've made the painful sacrifice of seeing it without skipping and this 6th episode just took me TF out, gave one the worst kisses I've ever seen, pretending to make it intense and oh they can't the tone on this lmao but it was still horrible, poorly directed and acted because the build up was quite good but then meh!
I'm honestly embarrassed for these guys. Especially Joong because he's so cute and deserves better than GMMTV.
They need to be thoroughly coached on acting, their workshops and get a director that knows their onions.

Oh well. That'll be it. There's probably more but I believe I've said all that needs to be heard
I've vented and tried to stay detailed and give credit to where was due while at it

GMMTV with the Queerbaiting and these obviously straight men who are gay for pay need to stop like seriously.
They need to understand why a lot of people are watching and it's not this. They need to learn to actually give proper LGBTQ representation because the stories of Queers need to be heard. You may not show all the dark parts but the least you can do is be realistic
I'm done with this company till they start doing better.

Rating. 1/10 and that's because I can't give any lower than that.
If you are really lacking what to watch this, pick something else, feel free to comment for suggestions because I'm open to watch all genres and from all countries and as long as it's good.
This is my first negative review.
I usually don't give bad reviews or comments neither do I like to compare because stories are different and I don't like to drop BLs but this can't be saved, I like to give them time to develop or just give a constructive comment but this left such a horrid taste in my mouth, I had to let it out.
Sleep instead if you have nothing better to do or even better go spend some time with someone you love or you could just go lay outside by yourself and stare at the Sky and Stars and trust me, you'll have a much better and more meaningful experience

Cheers.
