Soapy Fun
Over the top camp played seriously, everyone knew their assignments and did it well. It's an old school soapy drama style coupled with the still relatively new school conceit of gay characters and gay couple at the heart of it. Film in particular is fantastic as Charn the cunning and seemingly soulless lawyer with the evil smile whose facade is broken down by the humble, hunk Tinn.
Charn's flashback of what happened to both his mother and him and the scene of him unable to lie to Tinn on the tarmac were the show's highlight's. Fantastic acting by Film. It's too unintentionally hilarious though that throughout the show he gets shot and he's never bleeding from the gunshot wounds, so when he got shot in the end I'm just thinking he's impervious to bullets even before he reveals the bulletproof vest. I love that there is time set aside in the finale for Charn and Tinn to get married and live their domestic bliss with Tinn accepting that Charn needs time to change fully. When Tinn proposes and Charn brings up that there is not law for gay marriage yet, I'm so happy in a meta way for them that they can be legally married less than a year after their marriage in the series which was September 2023.
