Still disappointing even when I didn't have any expectations
(English is not my first language so please excuse my mistakes)
When I started this BL, I didn't have high expectations. But still, it was disappointing.
- Tine and wat had more chemistry when they were fake dating than when they became boyfriend. Everyone can agree than you don't need to portray explicit sex scene to showcase love between to person. But they are some thing that have to be "de facto" when people are in love. When moving together in a house with only one bed, and you're a couple, I highly doubt that you will just be on your side, back facing each other, with all your clothes on. Especially when you're young (they must be like 19 yo men), at that age with your partner this is NOT a realistic portray?? And even watching the star together there was no sign of romance at all ! This lack of romantic interactions (I'm not asking for hot bed scene) is so frustrating as it's repeat all along, during 13 episodes. Because of that it was so hard to see them as lovers, they looked and acted more like brothers or buddies...:/
- The story and the plot had potential, I liked the idea of fake dating, it could be fun. But it was toxic asf. Something that come back a lot in Thai BL drama is the lack of FREAKING COMMUNICATION. Every argument is almost the end of the relationship and small thing cause huge and disproportionate arguments. I'm tired of this. They never want to listen what the other has to say for their defense just because they "saw" something that can mean nothing.
- The use and portrayal of girls/young women : they are only portrayed in cliché and annoying ways : a bunch of crazy girls screaming over hot guys ; the "ex who is still in love and come back just to screw everything up, even when knowing that wat has a boyfriend but still comeback because director wanted some drama but didn't want to think to much and were lazy" ; the girl that tine like and want to date who is only use to show Wat's jealousy because it's "cute omggg look he's jealous he loves tine so much ahah XD ". The only girl I appreciated was the one playing guitar in the music band (but see I don't even remember her name (X ).
Anyway...
- side story/realtionship: not gonna lie I kinda skipped a lot of those scene cause it was just boring and not interesting. They were just here to show that "everyone is gay and end up with a boyfriend and oh that's so cool".
- Dim and Green : one word : TOXIC and ABUSIVE relationship (well that's 2 sorry XD). Not even funny or entertaining, more like cringe.
- Man and Type : what the heck is that : man's behaviour isn't cute and romantic. He's just a creepy stalker. I didn't like how they ended together, don't understand how type fell in love.
- Mil and Wat's little brother (sorry I don't remember his name X/ ) : it was weird as hell, I don't like how mil treated WLB, who seemed to be just a second choice after he FINALLY understood that Tine doesn't like him. Plus there interactions seemed off to me, it was unnatural especially the "pat pat" thing. (Spoiler season 2 ) at the end of the 1st season I thought that they ended up together but it seems like no because at the beginning of season 2 they aren't, it's just WLB who tries to seduces mil and is frustrated. I was completely lost.(end spoiler S2)
- characters didn't have any evolution, they were still the same at the end of the 13th episode, nothing new also in there archetype. Tine friends are just here to roast restaurants and get drunk til morning to the point you can't remember anything after that and give a tiny piece of advice sometimes. I just liked Fong. He was nice. But that's it.
-the sorry doesn't make sense either : one good exemple is that now tine doesn't need wat, he just quit the music club. ????
If I had to name one good thing it would be the music : one of the rare Thai BL which has a not cringe ost and music in general. Scrubs' music is very nice ! However if we could get a music BL were the instrument is NOT guitar for once... I'm getting tired of this :')
I almost forgot one thing : the choice of music for some scene. SO BAD. When Tine is crying and you put a happy and lively music on top of that??? So many moment like that, supposed to be sad but are ruined by the stupid choice of music.
(This is my first review on MDL I hope it was not too bad XD)
