The plot is like a CASTLE..... Sand castle if u know what I mean

This is one of those series that progressively losing its charm after the first few episodes. Ngl the first EP really got me hooked bcuz it's so passionately aggressive that we're like entering a whole ass kinky era of BL series but as the story progresses, it became a soft mediocre one. I don't think it's that bad, it's just like a bunch of BL series of every genre with their respective BL tropes that are just so used that it's not that good anymore. Idunno. Tbh I still enjoy the series but I think it could've been better. Thankfully they didn't have hateful bitches trying to be homewreckers. The aggressiveness of the series really toned down gradually. The first few episodes were fire then it evolved into another series that is contrast to the scenes we've seen in the first episode.

The realization of both having met each other when they're young is redundant and the fixed marriage is very annoying. I know Mangkorn and the girl's parents weren't homophobic or demanding about the fixed marriage but I thought it would be nice if that was taken out of the context. It just add up to Yai's confusion of making Mangkorn his boo. I didn't also liked the love triangle of Nine, Yai and Mangkorn. Nine is just out of place there. He's more like Yai's uncle tbh. If that's what happen in the novel, i think the writer shouldn't add that up. ISBANKY and Mos chemistry were there but it's just the plot. I love Fong (Park) here. He's a cute bodyguard here. Everytime he gets screen time I was just love staring at him like the whole time. Besides all that, the whole premise were like "two rivals who got drunk and slept with each other then Mangkorn got the evidence in his hands" that's it. After deleting the video, I guessed that would probably end the series.

I know there were family problems with Yai and Mangkorn going abroad for his internship but idunno. This was a mess in the last few eps but I still thought it was worth finishing. It's not a series that I would just leave not finishing the entirety. I think the plot execution is the real problem here. Now they're getting a second season, writers, directors should take their time to make it better than this. They should maybe incorporate something and do not throw another used tropes. Overall this was a somewhat decent series for me.
