Oh my god! I started this series without any expectations, and i have not regretted a single second ! The story is well written, while it does follow some classic tropes it does it in a new and refreshing way. The music is excellent , and acting as well. The chemistry between MewGulf is off the charts. I felt every emotion intended to be felt alongside a lot of frustration. would recommended this to everyone and their grandma! :D
I apologize in advance, English is not my first language :D
There is a lot to unpack in this drama, but first of all i have to get an unpopular opinion out there: Although i fucking love them and their chemistry, I don't think Type deserves Tharn. Let me just explain why. Although Type was molested in the past, and that led to him being homophobic , everything he did to Tharn was so inconsiderate, and ultimately selfish. Exploring your sexuality and coming to terms with yourself should not include trampling over others, especially over your partner. He was using and abusing the fact that Tharn's love is unconditional, and that he forgave him for his foul mouth more than once, even when he shouldn't have. On the other hand, Tharn is also a broken person, having all of his partners leave him, for reasons explained in the series. He gets his partners attention by being attentive, warm, supportive and ultimately flexible with boundaries, patience and needs.
They are polar opposites, and Tharn has been hurt by Type so many fucking times, that i wanted to break my screen just so that i could beat the living shit out of Type. How could you be such a dick towards the only person willing to put up with your shitty behavior? As we see later in the series the same shitty impulsive childish behavior has his dad. We have seen some character growth from Type regardless of my rambling. I just needed to get this off my chest. ((Many people are justifying Types' behavior and violence with past trauma, even calling his antics cute? (threats of break up, punching him in the face more than once, internalizing doubts, and communicating in a relationship like fucking toddler) Like wtf, if you have a need to feel wanted by making your partner jealous, you're a douche in my book))
STORY:
Story was in my opinion nicely executed. Loved both the drama, and the novel. Timeline was nice, story wasn't rushed, and the audience wasn't served everything on a silver platter, tho some elements were a bit predictable. I loved the final twist so much, and it was executed amazingly.
ACTING/Characters:
Obviously, MewGulf did an amazing job as many before me have stated, and those steamy kisses omg. Two ice cube scenes, and that shower scene were god tier!!
I take my hat off to Mild and Kao! Their portrayal of Techno and Lhong left me speechless.
Techno is a friend to die for, quite literally! If you ever happen to stumble upon a friend like that, never let them go! Supportive, understanding, a bit of a blabbermouth, but an honest support and shoulder to lean on!
Lhong on the other hand is such a headache and sneaky bastard, i feel so fucking frustrated that his only punishment for the atrocities that he did was being away from his love interest/obsession. Of course, my frustration may stem from my lack of understanding of Thai culture. Perhaps they are relying on the laws of karma? Even so, his punishment should have been so much more severe than what he got. He should rot for at least next three lives. Kao's acting was stellar -honestly!
P'San is a piece of shit, pedophile that is incapable of taking a hint, and no for an answer. He was giving me the creeps every time he was on screen. All that talk of 14 year old Tharn made my head hurt. Even tho it was a "consentual" sexual encounter, it should have never happened, because P'San was 17 at that time. He should have been punched in the face. Creep.
Tharn's brother is a pushover, and i dont like him very much. Only redeeming quality is that he is supportive.
P'Tar gave me a headache every time i saw him on screen. I do not like clingy whiney characters in real life, and i do not like them on screen. He is a deeply broken young person, who could have saved himself, and people around him a lot of trouble had he came forth with his trauma. Albeit it is not easy to open up about such things, if P'Tum knew, he could have helped him cope, change his number to stop the harassment, move away and eventually move on from Tharn. Keeping it for yourself can only do harm.
MUSIC
I loved every soundtrack, little sound effects, the piano score was beautiful! Be Mine and Hold me Tight as piano versions are so pretty!
REWATCH:
I am currently on my 3rd rewatch, so hell yeah. 15/10 Of course the series has its flaws, but they weren't even in the slightest deal breakers for me.
