Not just one of the best BL drama, but one of the best DRAMAS ever!!
I binge watched all 9 episodes in a day and it happened to be the best thing I ever did!This series was like finding gold in a desert (or some other good analogy about finding something worthwhile amidst nothing)
I had been watching couple of clips from this series on Insta and thought of giving it a try. Being Aof's directorial I did have some expectation but this exceeded all of it.
JimmySea chemistry is undeniable. Jimmy has grown so much since BBS, it was a treat to watch him here. Seeing these two in Vice Versa and now in this, it's definite that they have grown comfortable around each other and it shows!!
They took an ordinary trope and made something spectacular with it. I really hope they finish off strong as well.
Story is fresh and all the characters in the series make us fall in love with them. You end up rooting for them and cheering for them.
NightPorjai - two best people finding best for themselves
Aon - best character I have ever seen. He is so full of life and lights up the show whenever he's on screen.
Gee - with a friend like her, we can overcome anything
Day - shows in the best way that change doesn't happen overnight and all it takes is a little effort and someone trusting to take the first steps
Mhok ❤️ - OMG this character ? I could write a novel describing how perfect he is. He is the greenest of all Green flags. All his little nuances - making sure Day does things for himself, never putting too much pressure, little habit changes that he went through, standing on the sidelines when the person you love is with someone else.. I fell in love with the character. Jimmy portrays him so well.
Ratings:
Story - 9/10 (might become 10 depending on how it ends)
Music - 10/10 (Titles OST is lovely and the song suits the story so well)
Acting - 100/10 (everyone is just living their roles)
Main pairing - 100/10 (chef's kiss.. no awkward acting, no unnecessary jealousy storylines and glowing chemistry)
Re-watch value: 10/10

Slow burn office story with a hint of romance
I give it 7/10 because I still have SOME hope for this series!I was really excited to watch this show after seeing the trailer. I think that increased my hopes for this series. I feel they should have taken inspiration from MSP and given us a mediocre trailer/teaser so that all of us went in with less hopes and actually be impressed with the series.
All characters are poorly written. The only characters who gave me good vibes were Chot (our queen) and Jen (but they added the cheating plot :( ).
I feel story was well thought out but it's being poorly implemented. I feel if the cast wasn't all new comers and had some really experienced or atleast well trained, it would have taken the series to heights. Yes, Jeng (Man) is acting to his fullest but even at times it feels uninspired and Pat (Ben) has only learnt 3-4 expressions and uses only those to express whatever he feels.
I get that story was written to project how the work happens in an office with talented employees and a boss with ambition to do well and it requires for them to show how it works, but it is being too dragged out.
To sum it up..
Do I like the acting? No, for most of them
Do I like the story? 100% [atleast it's better than watching 12-14 episodes of engineering students preparing for Freshy competitions or try to "court" each other by stalking]
Should I have started without it being completed? I don't think so! [As a complete series I might have been more interested, all the while skipping few filler scenes]
Will I watch the remaining episodes? For sure!
