Nothing to “ride” home about.

This was actually the first BL I watched and while waiting for the rest of the Eps, I managed to binge a few others over the past few weeks and boy, am I glad I did.

Things felt disjointed and I think that came from the imbalanced set-up of telling two different relationship stories one after another instead of intertwining them. There are very few instances in dramas where this technique works, but I think it’s fair to say that this is a great example of how the technique behaved more like a magnifying glass, illuminating the flaws of the plot itself.

The style in which the story was told wasn’t too bad. It was visually appealing, had the aesthetics to portray the racing world of Prapai and Phayu and some decent music choices for the more “iconic” scenes. The problem I had was with the “flow” of plot and with certain dialogue that was (not) used. Personally, I felt that they tried to tackle too many obstacles and because of this, we got very surface level solutions/responses from the characters. This did such a disservice to the character’s growth and progress of the plot, because they essentially had to rush over certain topics that, in my opinion, should never be rushed or overlooked.

It’s an easy watch that, in pretence, puts plasters on gaping wounds, but besides some of the steamy scenes and eye candy, in terms of the plot, it’s your typical ‘Wattpad’ story as another MDLer* so nicely put it! ;)
