Typical Toxic Thai BL w/good visuals
LIKES:
Cinematography, locations/settings, colour palette all great.
Wardrobe was well chosen for the most part.
Cast was well chosen and the actors did the best they could with what they were given.
Decent chemistry between Pi and Mork.
Music was okay, but nothing memorable.
DISLIKES:
Writing:
Plot holes and content that was not concluded. [For example the Pi and his mom breaching of his privacy.]
Mork constantly saying he wants to love Pi, but doesn't give him space or support. Instead of telling the bullies & shippers to back off and leave them alone, he tells Pi to not care about those people. Yes people shouldn't care what others think, but if you love someone truly, you don't force them to be they way you want them to be. That's not love. Also Mork's was stalking and obsessive, both very negative behaviours.
I hated BAM, the character was idiotic & I had to mute her. She wasn't needed, but at least her character storyline had some conclusion, unlike most of the other supporting characters.
Toxic, Obsessive Shippers having no consequences for their actions.
Comedy moments didn't flow and were stupid. Could've been left out because the Main Characters used their cell phones/ social media so much.
Blatant cultural appropriation in one of the episodes.
No one except for Pi, had any character growth.
Directing:
The reactions/responses often took way too long and became ridiculous with the gaps in time.
The interactions between the "couples" didn't seem natural, were too frequent and felt forced.
Pacing:
The beginning episodes took too long, then the ending was overly rushed.
They dragged out Pi and Mork's relationship issues and then suddenly everything was fixed/resolved.
OVERALL:
Not the worst Thai BL series, but far from good, due to making toxic behaviours seem acceptable. Great visuals from the characters, but bad writing as usual wrecked the show. I'd recommend this to beginner viewers of the BL genre, as long as they don't think it's good to force people to be or do what you want. I highly doubt I will watch this show again.
