I wanted this to be what it thinks it is
I so badly wanted this to be good because Grey Rainbow is one of my favorite BLs of all time. Ah, alas.
Medical misinformation abounds, but I'm not thai, so maybe procedures are different over there??? Also every single character sucks except Tua and Nuch. Like, every single one. No one is likeable, especially the main character, which is wild. He's so stupid it physically pains me, and he keeps repeating the same stupid behavior over and over and over again at the expense of a friend. Holy hell he's annoying. Every time someone dies he melts down and goes on about how it's all his fault oh no boo hoo. Like he must think he's got the final say on who lives or dies. Even in shows where the main character is an established loser, I'm hard-pressed to think of them as one, but this guy??? Prakan is a certified asshole loser.
The rules of the people being reaped are inconsistent, the rules of the reapers dont make much sense and are inconsistent. The punishments for various reaper things are arbitrary af. The concept is cool, the execution could have maybe used like one brainstorm meeting. Maybe a writers room. Maybe even just someone to say all the plot points out loud so they'd notice the holes.
The music was wild. Something literally insignificant would happen and this loud, dramatic music would play and I was confused every time because again, nothing warranted it. All of the music was loud for no reason and almost always overdramatic. This is a drama, but its was *noticeably* overdramatic. It took me out of the story quite frequently, which is rough because the story itself was already taking me out of the story. Frankly, I'm not done yet and I want to drop it, but Tua is 1. Doing better than the rest of the cast (bar Nuch) combined and 2. Is pretty. That's all I'm in it for right now. I'm not even in it for Nuch, as much as I love her, because she's in love with the largest, most prolasped asshole I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. And yes, I do mean....uh Prakans cousin, whatever his name is. The side couple is insufferable, the higherups are insufferable for both the reapers and doctors. For some reason people keep getting hit by cars??? Like car, car, building, car, car, cancer type ahh.
This has been an exercise in frustration, which js more frustrating because it could've been SO. GOOD.
Could've.
