I love this show so much
The headline says it but I will say it again, I love this show. The couples were cute and the side characters were funny. (this has been edited)
Story:
Any Bl watcher, avid or casual, is familiar with the engineer trope. It is so common that it's kind of suffocating. However, I can look past it because the couples are great. Speaking of the couples, the main one was my least favourite. The amount of jealousy and communication issues in this relationship is a big red flag and also, trigger warning, they had one of the guys be assaulted but didn't call it that instead they called it cheating and used it as the ep 11/12 conflict. It was not ok. It's brief and only a kiss but it was still SA. Do better next season please. Onto to the normal, non problematic couples. My second least favourite couple was MekBoss. That isn't an insult to them, I love them a lot but I have a soft spot for TharaFrong so MekBoss is below them. I enjoyed their story and I think the actors were good but omg the Thai dub for Mek was terrible. I know why they hired a Chinese actor but couldn't they have found one who could speak Thai? Or was willing to learn? Idk but it bugged me a lot. Next is TharaFrong. I think their story is really cute and I was sad when Frong was brozoned. Like, come on Thara. I'm sad MD won't be back for season 2 but I hope they find someone good to replace him. Now for my, and almost every person I've heard talk about this show, favourite ship. RamKing is the shining star of this series and if season 2 was just them and TharaFrong, I'd be happy. Talay and Perth had good chemistry and they were so cute together. They were perfect. Sorry that was so long.
Acting:
The acting was good. Nothing majorly outstanding but I got into the story and it was believable so that's all that matters to me.
Music:
Kinda lack luster. I don't speak Thai so I don't know what the main song means but it didn't make enough of an impression on me for me to really care.
Rewatch value:
I'd watch it again but only for TharaFrong and RamKing. Seeing the other two couples once was enough to satisfy me until Season 2.
Overall:
I highly recommend this if you enjoy bl's and I am eagerly awaiting the announcement of the release of season 2 episode 1, whenever that may be. Please go watch it if you haven't and let's hope season 2 comes soon??
