Relatively Angst Free Love Story
**Brief Synopsis**
B (Student): Rain and Sky
T (Owner): Payu and Pai
- Beginning (Story 1 Episode 1-7): Payu and Rain. B is a student and when his car breaks down in the rain, he meets T who is an autoshop owner. T is older and likes to tease B, annoying the latter to no end. Deciding to get revenge, B tells T that he was going to make him fall in love with him within the month.
- Middle (Story 1 Episode 1-7): In order to make him fall in love, B starts spending more and more time with T and realizes that he has many good qualities.
- End (Story 1 Episode 1-7): At the end, B realizes that he had fallen for T and confesses. The story ends with them happily dating.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors playing B and T. Their chemistry was amazing and their interactions were cute and sweet. They also do a great job in portraying the affection between the characters.
- I really like the foreplay/flirting. B's reactions are very cute as well, trying to not to show just how attracted he really is.
- The characters are very likeable despite each having their own flaws.
- The writing is okay. The story flows well despite the plot being very weak as all the attention is put on the development of their relationship.
- I really like the intimate scenes as they are the realest I have seen in BL as of yet. The actors did a great job portraying the lust and affection in the air.
- I really like the enemies to lovers trope. Sure this plot falls in to the usual formula for such TV shows and is very predictable, it is still very nice to watch.
- I like how B at the end of the show is more confident both in life and in sex.
- I like how fast the pace is, meaning it has little time for useless and cliche conflict. There aren't relationship breaking angst. It is quite fluffy overall.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Acting is okay most of the time but sometimes it can get a little bit exagerated, such as times when the characters speaks to themselves, which can seem a little unatural. In addition, reactions can get a little fake as well.
- Plot as a whole is ok but there aren’t any plot twists or memorable moments.
**Conclusion**
An OK watch but probably won’t be revisiting as a whole but will be revisiting specific scenes.

**Brief Synopsis**
- Beginning (Story 2 Episode 8-13): Sky and Prapai. B is the previous story's B's friend and roommate. He is extremely defensive regarding relationships because he has severe emotional trauma from a past abusive boyfriend. T is an executive at a big company and meets B at the racetrack. B trespassed and T finds him, telling him if he wants to leave, he'll have to sleep with him. How non con this part is is uncertain because I feel T would have let him go if he refused passionately as the offer looked more like flirting then a threat. No matter the reason, B seems a little upset after sleeping with him but doesn't look traumatized at all. T on the other hand really likes B and would like to extend their relationship, something B is not willing to do.
- Middle (Story 2 Episode 8-13): T starts pursuing B by sending him gifts, flowers, appearing in his vicinity and trying to get B to spend time with him. As they spend more time together, B's attitude changes. He starts smiling more genuinly around T and is genuinly grateful and touched when T takes leave from work to take care of him while he was sick. Their relationship develops rather smoothly despite B's insecurities until T brings B to a party and B realizes just how different he is actually from T's other friends and freaks out. It is revealed that B's ex boyfriend also forced him to do things he wasn't comfortable with and when he resisted, the guy found him boring, called him names and dumped him. Even if by that time, B was in love with T, he's afraid T will dump him after he gets bored so decides to dump him first. T doesn't give up and goes to B's apartment looking for answers. He sees B's diary confessing love for him. B comes back and T confronts him. B confesses just what had been going on in his head and apologizes. T forgives him.
- End (Story 2 Episode 8-13): At the end, they reconcile and spend some very happy times together. In my opinion, the story could have ended here because episode 13 doesn't add much except to make B experience his trauma again. B is found and assaulted by his ex. He is saved of course, but is once again reminded of his trauma. T stays with him and consoles him. The story ends with them being sappy and in love.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors playing B and T. Their chemistry was amazing and their interactions were cute and sweet. They also do a great job in portraying the affection between the characters.
- I really like the foreplay/flirting. I like seeing B's change over time. I also like seeing T becoming more mature in order to take care of B.
- The characters are very likeable despite each having their own flaws.
- The writing is okay. The story flows well despite the plot being very weak as all the attention is put on the development of their relationship.
- I really like the intimate scenes as they are the realest I have seen in BL as of yet. The actors did a great job portraying the lust and affection in the air.
- I like how fast the pace is, meaning it has little time for useless and cliche conflict. There aren't relationship breaking angst. It is quite fluffy overall (other then the angst when B breaks up with T but I feel this is necessary to force B to confront his trauma, overcome it so he can be happy with T).
- I like the concept (霸道总裁爱上我) and although it is cliche and predictable, I liked how T pursues B. The scenes where T consoles B in his time of need are very heartwarming and make you understand just how much T actually cares of B.
- I really like how the actors look together. They are very good looking.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Acting is okay most of the time but sometimes it can get a little bit exagerated, such as times when the characters speaks to themselves, which can seem a little unatural. In addition, reactions can get a little fake as well.
- Plot as a whole is ok but there aren’t any plot twists or memorable moments. The plot mainly revolves around their relationship so if you are looking for more, the plot is really weak.
- I really didn't like the 13th episode. I feel it wasn't needed and doesn't serve other purpose then adding a rather triggering scene. I pretend that the show ends in episode 12 after they have reconciled.
**Conclusion**
An OK watch but probably won’t be revisiting as a whole but will be revisiting specific scenes.
