Imma keep it simple for y’all. This show is unwatchable garbage. The trailer might trick you to think otherwise but the more I watched this show, the more I hated the storyline, the characters, everything.
There’s nothing redeemable about this series, tbh.
Starting with the storyline, it was nothing new- Guy is straight, Guy meets another guy and realises that he in fact, is gay. This trope this sooo overused in BL dramas that it has now become a genre. But it’s okay, it can work if you do it well. Which was definitely not the case here. It is very evident that they intend to tell us that Tonhon is not homophobic multiple times on different occasions. (for eg., “Chon is a man and he should be with a woman. How can he be with a man?”). This dialogue hints that Ton doesn’t understand that there can be a relationship between a man and another man beyond friendship because of his homophobic asshole dad. But lemme tell you, they failed miserably. First, I don’t understand how a grown ass man who seems to know so much about the world doesn’t understand this concept? How dense can you be? and secondly, ??? it’s just so dumb. Majority of the episodes, Tonhon is just shaming and hating on gay people. And suddenly within a span of few minutes, he loves Chon, doesn’t hate gays anymore and is making promises to be with him, about living together forever and what not? Worst writing ever.
Tonhon was literally such a shitty human being in general. Sorry can’t find any other adjective to describe him.
He constantly hurt Chon, disappeared, came back when it was convenient for him and didn’t even think it was necessary to apologise. Also, gave pathetic excuses for kissing Amp constantly. He had the guts to do it but not to accept the fact that it was entirely his fault. He has no control on his thoughts and actions and it shows what a mess he is.
I always felt that the redeeming quality of the show would be dealing and overcoming homophobia but NOPE. They went ahead and ruined that too. They had such good opportunities to build Ton’s and Ton’s dad character, but they were not taken advantage of. AT ALL.
Ai and Ni seemed likeable in most the episodes but then they literally forced Chonlatee to come out to them when he evidently didn’t want to and kept encouraging Ton’s homophobic ways by agreeing to everything he said and did.
Ton’s sister seemed okay at first, but she thinks outing people casually without their consent is cool, so that went to trash too.
The only well written character in the show was Na. In the beginning, his character was introduced as the one the viewers were supposed to dislike. The one who “comes between” the two lovers and it was really convincing because he did seem to be overconfident and annoying. His character development throughout the episodes is immaculate. His clarity of thought, feelings for Chon everything was sorted. He helped Ton realise his feelings, basically held the show together for me. Speaking of good characters, I think I can mention Chon’s mom because she definitely is one of the best parent characters i’ve seen in a BL series. It did go downhill when she asked Chon to talk things out with Ton because I expected better from her. Ton cheated on her son but she clearly turned a blind eye to it but considering that most of the characters were bad in the show, she was still fine for me.
Onto the other things- Amp is the bane to my existence. She’s batshit crazy. She seems to have no self respect what so ever and she’s extremely obsessive. Basically, the worst woman character you can have in a show. I have no words for her. Nueng was the best companion she could have. And of course, his character was so necessary in the series to include the same trashy attempt to rape scene so that Ton could save Chon. When that scene was over, Nueng disappeared as if nothing happened (of course) and wasn’t dealt with at all, didn’t have to face the consequences of his actions, nothing. It’s astonishing to me how rape and assault is so normalised in the BL world.
Lemme talk a little about the horrid attempt to include that plotwist at the end, that Ton has always been in love with Chon. Only did it not make any sense, it invalidated all the things that happened in the previous episodes. I don’t know if it was supposed to be a wow moment, but it definitely didn’t work for me.
However, I did enjoy Ton and Chon’s moments together in the last episode but they were just not enough to make up for the 10 episode disaster that this show was. Also, the humour in this show was really not it. It was very over the top and unfunny. I didn’t laugh once and that means something for a show that is supposedly “lighthearted” and easygoing.
Lastly, the final sudden transition of the dad. It was the worst thing that could happen to this already disastrous show. Period. No further comments except for thank god this show is over because I don’t think I could’ve suffered anymore.
