Never fulfilled potential

As everyone knows, the subtitles are horrible. However, with a dash of context, open-minded-ness and very basic Thai understanding you can somewhat follow the plot without issue.

Some of the actors deliver great work, some mediocre and quite a few clearly could use a couple more workshops or better directing.

As for the storyline, it could have been so good. And at times I were thoroughly entertained. But, and it is a big but, very cliché in my opinion. Cliché doesn’t always mean bad, as there is a reason why it’s popular. However, the production isn’t good enough to carry it and it falls flat at times.

It gave BLs anno 2020, and sadly not in the good way for me. Better production, directing, acting talent and chemistry between most of the cast could have made this into a great series because the foundation and potential was there, although very hidden.

Worth a watch if you are bored and have nothing better to catch up on or rewatch, but I think I’m gonna pass on watching this a second time to be fair.
