Extremely Satisfying

BL Dramas often have rather anti-climatic endings, presumably to force a sequel. This anthology brings a much more satisfying pause point (I won't say ending) to two of my favorite dramas: "'Cause You're My Boy" and "SOTUS." I'm only going to speak to these two shows.

Mork and Tee are back in Episode 3 for their third anniversary. The storyline about misconceptions is very cute. Drake Sattabut tops his previously excellent performance as Mork, who has now cast off any doubts about his love for Tee. Frank Thanatsaran still struggles to sell his Tee character as being Mork's soulmate. He's tightlipped in the kissing scenes. Plot-wise, credibility is a bit strained to believe that two adult guys who love each other this much are still living separately after 3 years, just to please Tee's mother.

Episode 5 reunites Arthit and Kongpob from the original SOTUS, which took way too long to get these two characters to the holding hands and kissing stage, where the drama abruptly ends. Finally, the audience gets to see the ending we had waited for. While Arhrit is still shy about public displays of affection, Krist Perawat dials up his performance to Oscar-winning status with a heartbreaking breakup scene. Finally we get to see Arthit's unmasked feelings for Kongpob. Singto Prachaya gives an equally satisfying performance as Kongpob, who remains stoic and strong to support Arthit in the breakup scene, only to let go of his emotions in the next scene. And the big payoff is Arthit overcoming his public display of affection hang-up in the final scene. This is excellent writing and direction. No doubt Singto and Krist's real life, off-screen bromance helped to bring a whole new level of life to these characters. I could see a spin-off series about Arthit and Kongpob living in China for two years.

The shows are more-or-less stand alone, so if you haven't yet met a set of characters in the original series, you can just watch the episodes where the familiar ones appear.
