First, and hopefully not last.
The first full-length Asian GL ever. The story is a typical CEOxEmployee office romance, with a touch of queerness. I want to, with all my heart, thank and congratulate Saint Suppapong, for paving the way to other GLs and for the popularity this drama has gained. He said, in an interview, that people close to him told him that it's a risky idea; so I want to thank him, once again, for not getting discouraged and not giving up on this show. I actually, wanted it to give it a 9.5, but changed my mind, seeing that it's a first in this industry. Although I hope, that it isn't the last.STORY:
A basic romance one, with a ton of angst. Mostly coming from the fact that they are a female couple. But social class takes a role in that, too. I do like that Kirk , Sam's fiance, didn't turn out to be a total jerk:)))
ACTING/CAST:
I rarely cry, I'm not an emotional person, at least on the outside. But this GL made my eyes fill with tears a handful of times, and made the tears run across my face a few. What I'm trying to say is, they acted the emotional parts extremely well, especially in Ep 11 in the beginning of part 2. FreenBecky did extremely well for rookie actresses, but I also think that actress Mind, playing Nueng, did amazingly well for the little amount of lines she did. The actresses playing as Sam's friends were hilarious, and the Irin, playing Mon's friend did great, also. Actor Heng, who I have not seen for the first time (SCOY) did not disappoint me, yet once again. I think that the actress playing Grandmother is underrated because she made me hate her, and when she had to became a "good character" I felt empathetic enough to like her again.
MUSIC:
It wasn't bad, I especially like the saxophone in Ep 11.
REWATCH VALUE:
Why wouldn't you rewatch the first GL ever, after tons of them (hopefully) get produced after? I'd love to, to remember how it all started.
OVERALL:
Spectacular. I love Saint for initiating this, and everyone who contributed to this for their hard work. The story is typical, but it's a wlw. So what are you doing here? Go ahead and watch it.
