One of the best shows

It’s my first review, and I’m glad it’s for a superb drama like Something in my room.

It’s lucky that I watched the uncut version from the very start. To watch this, you can find the subscription instruction in the discussion section. It's worth every cent.

The writer and director have done a good job, a really good job. They respect their audience, leaving room for our judgment and reasoning, then kindly produce all the answers in the most realistic way. Every scene supports each other to build a story that is solid and focuses on what matters.

I like both the main leads. Nut’s performance in this drama has proven his talent and his determination to be a good actor. Plan understands his characters, which is rare in BL. I can feel Phat’s kindness, love, frustration, and pain through his acting. I see two boys being drawn to each other by love, not because the story told them so. They only knew and love each other for more than a month, but they make me believe their love is deep and eternal.

The supporting cast is another well-done aspect. They don’t run around the main leads, being eager to be in the main leads’ dramas. They have their own story to tell. All the fathers and mothers are flawed, they love their children but somehow couldn’t overcome their desire and selfishness. Dream struggles to find closure and live true to herself. It’s great to see experienced actors here, they elevate the atmosphere and give a mature vibe that is lacking in many shows.

I like this show’s message. It’s precise and spot-on. Only one sentence is enough to make my heart tear up and draw out many conclusions. This show also handles all the issues head on, without avoiding the complex part by time skip or half-assed reactions.

This show is loyal to its premise. It checks off all the criteria for a great show (not a BL show): an engaging story, an amazing cast, a well-written plot, a bold director, a great blend of music. My heart felt calm after the ending. I just finished a good show and I know I’ll remember it for a very long time.
