Getting better episode by episode.
I am really surprised how invested I became in this series. First episode as for many other viewers was not really encouraging to for me to watch this series further but I did not give up and I do not regret. After episodes one and two (which were cringy because of the s*x scenes and kisses which made me feel uncomfortable watching it to say the least), things started getting better and plot became more entertaining. Let me put it simply: this drama is not something really discovering or groundbreaking. It reminds me of the series “My secret love " which was also a typical, very predictable drama but still was manage to draw my attention until the final episode and I guess with Fahlanruk the case will be the same. The plot is very simple and ordinary : two boys who fell in love with each other in university setting. Nothing new for someone who watched more than five Bl dramas in his life even if there is 'a friends with benefits' concept presented in it (but the concept itself is not new as we could see it in Check out for example). I think we all agree that the whole FWB theme is a bullshit here since we know that main leads from the very beginning are whipped for each other, and we know how this story must end. Still their story is somehow interesting to watch. I love Ping- Tap couple I think at this moment I watch this drama mostly for them because I like their chemistry and I cannot wait for the realization of Tap's feeling towards Ping. If it comes to the rest characters like most people who watch the drama I really dislike them because their presence in this series does not make much since their whole life seems to go around Fahlan and Sher's love life. Every other character beside main leads appears in this series because they have to stick their noses in Fahlan-Sher relationship and constantly comment on that. It is irritating. What I really like is OST— somehow this cosy rhythms reminds me of Christmas and I never skip the intro. Finally, it is not a perfect drama especially in the intimacy aspect which could have been improved as not to be so cringy. Even though I previously did not have much hope for "Fahlanruk", this drama turned out to be funnier than I expected and it still makes my Sunday evenings more enjoyable. I am waiting for more.
