My Ride would have been great.... If they didn't drag out the cheating boyfriend storyline.

~~ STORY ~~

My Ride honestly could have been a contender for a memorable BL. It has a new and interesting pairing, a motorcycle taxi driver and a doctor. Also, Mork, the motorcycle taxi driver, is so adorable and cute. He is the perfect boyfriend! However, what hurt this BL was dragging out the cheater storyline. Also the side couples were not really amazing, but we'll talk about that later.

Before meeting Mork, Tawan ends up dating the doctor he's always had a crush on. That doctor starts ignoring Tawan and complains that Tawan is too clingy from day 1. We also learn that he is cheating on Tawan with his on-again-off-again ex. Meanwhile, Mork and Tawan are getting closer and closer by the day. It gets to the point where Tawan is clearly in love with Mork, but refuses to cheat on his cheater of a boyfriend despite the fact that his boyfriend is always ignoring him.

Anyways, that cheater storyline goes on for more than half of the series. It's annoying because we can clearly see Tawan falling for Mork, but choosing to let himself be manipulated by his cheating boyfriend. This cheating storyline should have been 2-3 episodes max, or have the cheating boyfriend have more screen time and become a major character. Because they dragged out the cheating storyline, the last few episodes felt rushed.

Also, if I could add my slight annoyances with this series before talking about the positives... They spend 3 episodes at the fair!!!! 3 WHOLE EPISODES!!!!!! Great because it felt like we were third-wheeling their entire date night, but did we really need to spend 3 whole episodes on one date night at the fair? Also, Mork having a "son" at the end was so random. I can see Mork actually taking care of his son and what not, but it was weird. Also, the girlfriend returning at the end was really unnecessary. Should have scrapped that drama and given it to Mork's son's storyline. We got too little information on Mork's son even though he's is going to be part of Mork and Tawan's family.


MORK x TAWAN

Mork and Tawan are absolutely adorable together. They really hit it off from day 1. Mork slowly falling for Tawan as the days pass is a beautiful. They don't have to being doing anything romantic to show they are in love. Mork always being there to listen to Tawan and to help him speaks louder than any of the romantic moments they had. Mork is really the ideal boyfriend despite being uneducated. The fact that he adopted his brother's son and works hard to make money for his son's education is amazing. Tawan still has a lot to go in terms of being the ideal boyfriend, but you can see that he is always thinking of others and puts his boyfriend first... Which is unfortunate for Mork until Mork takes that role from the cheater.

Overall Mork and Tawan were very cute together and I wish they got together sooner.


BOSS x TOY

I don't know if I like Boss and Toy together. Boss seems too stuck up for Toy. Boss is clearly not ready for a relationship and only thinks of himself. Toy, on the other hand, is an amazing character. He is interesting and fun. I'm sad that he likes Boss and they ended up together. I think Toy could do much better than Boss... or Boss needs to work on himself. He's slowly learning to be human and I hope Toy can help him with it.

NADIA x MAYOM

Skip this couple. They were boring and dragged on for no reason what so ever.

TAWAN x POR (x Kanghan)

Por is a piece of work and so is his on-again-off-again boyfriend Kanghan. The fact that Por started hitting on Tawan for fun, then getting annoyed with Tawan gets serious is annoying. Also Kanghan being petty and messaging Tawan to show up while he and Por are having sex is a nightmare. They should have just let Kanghan be the side piece and let Por dig his own grave. Making Kanghan petty and purposely message Tawan was unnecessary drama. We know Por is a piece of work, but Kanghan didn't need to be one too.

~~ OVERALL ~~

A nice watch. I'm not sure if I will rewatch this, but it's still a nice drama. I just wish they didn't drag the cheater storyline. Mork and Tawan are so cute! Mork is officially my ideal type of guy.
