(ALMOST HEART) - LONG REVIEW
This could easily become the best bl series I've ever watched because the chemistry between korn & knock and also between the group of friends is unbelievable. They're all amazing actors and they made me fall in love with this story because I wanted them to be happy and I wanted to hug them multiple times. Yiwah and Fai, along with the two main boys made the show for me. I also loved Farm. I will now list the reasons why I absolutely adored this show and also the reasons why I didn't give it 10 stars.
I love it because:
1- As I've mentioned, the chemistry between the characters is one of the best I've ever seen. The acting is incredible.The cast suited their roles so well it gave me goosebumps!
2- Tul and Max did such an amazing job interpreting the main couple. The opening scene got me SWEATING! I honestly felt every single one of their interactions as if I was watching a scene from real life. Without a doubt the best bl couple I've seen so far.
3- I was lucky enough to have found Lazysubber's subs. They made the show even better for me. Those who have watched their subs will know what I'm talking about. Those who are thinking of watching the show and need English subs, watch it with lazasubber's subs! You won't regret it ;)
4- The side characters didn't annoy me at all. Yiwah and Fai were so entertaining to watch. Definition of strong female characters!
5- Pleng... ah God, I really did hate her. And I think that was the point of her character so I think she did a great job. At the end of she show I couldn't stand to even look at her face! And I usually don't hate characters. It's very hard for me to feel like this so I think it's a positive thing. Even though I hate her. So. much.
6- I also love the representation in this show. We have gay characters, (apparently) straight characters who fall in love with someone of the same gender (even though his sexuality is not that clear at the end of the day- and it doesn't have to be, really), strong and smart female characters (Yiwah, baby, I'm looking at you. And also Pleng. She was smart as hell too!), people discovering their sexuality and exploring it too... it has it all!
7- I just really loved it, okay?
Now, the reasons why I won't give it 10 stars for now (I might change my mind later):
1- This might sound stupid but the moment I noticed it I couldn't unnotice: Max's (Korn's) expressions were always the same. It was like he was constantly in pain. Slightly open mouth, frowned eyebrows, and PAIN. I understand his character is going through a lot but other expressions would be nice too. I was glad to see that in the last episode that ugly face (I mean the facial expressions, obviously) wasn't as present hahaha.
2- I didn't care about the student-teacher relationship at all. I skipped their scenes too. It was completely useless to me. It didn't add a lot to the relationship between Korn and his sister (which I also wasn't thrilled about). The actors did a good job but I just couldn't bring myself to care.
3- I sometimes felt uncomfortable with P'Bright and Farm's relationship, even if I was supposed to feel like that. I just didn't feel comfortable. And if the third season that's supposed to come out this year takes the same direction... I'll still watch it, of course, lol. But I will be a little disappointed and uncomfortable.
These are the main things I noticed while watching the show. As I've said, I'll probably change my mind and add it to my favourite drama's list. But for now, it's one of my favourites, which is good as well.
I can't wait for season 3!!!
