Clickbait in the form of a drama series (what a mess!)

Like someone else mentioned in their review, I also found myself interested in the series based on the trailer(s) which gave me sort of KinnPorsche vibes. The first episode kind of delivered on that, but then the series went all over the place. I personally did not at all care for the acting of nor chemistry between the two main leads. Yai as a character was just way too whiny and dramatic for me and even when he attempted to affirm his feelings for Mangkorn, it didn't really feel natural. Actually, none of the so-called development between them felt natural. It felt mostly one-sided where Mangkorn was the one chasing after Yai, the latter who just kept whining about Mangkorn and how he wanted this or that but then never went past words to action.

It kind of felt like they had way bigger plans for the series (which is apparently based on a book which I can only hope is better at least plot-wise) but it all fell flat. Episode 7 was plain painful to watch, because it was essentially just a video log of Yai & Mangkorn's honeymoon phase, where the scenes dragged on for too long and nothing really happened besides them having sex in various places. The plot was all over the place and never really developed like one would've hoped. All in all, a very disappointing watch.
