What is in a name? Legit, I still don’t get the title.
The premise is really cute. I guess? But was it executed properly? That’s a no.
A highlight of the series is the fact that the main couple actually talks about their feelings. At least most of the time.
Don’t you just hate the mostly annoying BL trope where they drag out drama rooting from a minor issue which could have been easily resolved by just talking about it. This had it! Well, until the end that is. And I thought they’d go beyond unnecessary and illogical drama, but alas. They still went there.
As expected from this level of Thai BL, as much as I wish otherwise, it had a lot of plot holes and loose ends. My main disappointment was the failure to show the obvious relationship that was clearly brewing between Song and Jay, and the lack of kissing or skinship. Real couples touch and kiss. Ugh. Not to mention the character of Kong (Keam). What the heck was that mess? He has a girlfriend? But he’s pining over Jin? While also being head over heals for Ball? What a mess of a character with little to no development.
Thai BLs, please evolve faster. It’s getting quite monotonous. For real.
Highlight was the character of Kaownah (Song). Such a cutie, and such a 180 from his character from TharnType. He really shined in this one.
7 stars. Disappointing, but from an obvious Thai BL series factory, I’m really not that surprised.
Here’s to hoping Thai BLs evolve to be more… just MORE!
P.S. did they even explain why it’s entitled Nitiman? I never really understood it, and that in itself is already a sign. :((
