they had me at "crew cut gay"

listen, LISTEn. i understand why this series isn't getting as much love as other series, but i don't understand why it's not getting more attention and love too. this series DESERVES. trUST me and watch this. MAYBE it'll be a little difficult to get through but the lovey-dovey scenes really made it worth it for me.

yes, the production was poor. the audio was wreckt and the camera work was shoddy (a lot of random super close ups lol) but it's not unwatchable. i watched the series on youtube so i watched the scenes with wreckt audio at 1.75x and it wasn't so bad. and it's not like watching it at higher speed took away anything. thai bl dramas tend to have long shots, the actors tend to take their time delivering their lines, so watching it at a higher speed can actually make viewing thai bl dramas more pleasant lol. the camera work was awkward, but it got the job done. the stuff that needs to be seen is captured on the screen, so im okay with it.

another big problem most people had with this series were the messy plotlines. it was apparently difficult to follow and plots were introduced randomly. on this, i disagree for the most part.

the writers could have weaved in one of the mysteries surrounding the character mork better, i agree. but i was actually okay with it not being hinted at at the beginning. i would have in fact dropped the series if they revealed mork's problem earlier. i'm glad they only told us at the end! but people like melodrama, so what the writers should have done was introduced it to us from the beginning i guess? (i actually find melodrama very hard to watch, so i watched all the angsty and "drama-mama" scenes at 1.75x speed or skipped it lol)

i think the story was actually pretty easy to follow! the significant stuff is clear to me, and i'm not left with any glaring questions or confusion. the only thing i'm confused about is why people are confused with the show.

the actors were as good as any thai bl drama actors, which is to say not very good. BUT the chemistry between the boys was palpable. drake, especially, catches my attention in every scene. he out-acts frank, unfortunately for frank. he's natural when he looks at frank, it really felt like mork was in love with tee. frank is not as good as drake, in my opinion, and he fails to keep up with drake, but he's not distractingly bad too. and like i said, their chemistry is great and i think all their scenes are super super cute.

the supporting characters aren't bad too, especially the actress who plays tee's mother. *chef's kiss* excellent.

but i think the aspect of the show that captured me, that made me keep watching was the amazingly cheesy script. the LINES, my dudes. the freaking RANGE this script has. they have stuff like

"all you do is write dvds and sleep"

"you weren't embarrassed when you ejaculated"

"porn now, eat later"

and then they also have stuff like

mork: "i think my world is so small. because there's only you in it."

tee: "even though the world is small, can you stay in it and keep me company?"

tee: "when you said the world is so small, there's not enough room for everyone, [maybe it's because] the world may not want you to be alone. the world may want us to be together."

and THEY ACTUALLY REFER BACK TO THIS LATER IN THE SERIES.

tee: "in this small world, when you can't see anyone, there's still hope, because i will always be with you. wherever you go, i go."
mork: "stop with your complicated talk. take 3 steps backwards. you can do it. can't you see? you do a simple thing and my world gets bigger."

DUDE THIS IS HEARTBREAKING my eyes were sWEating. anyway!! if you guys like cheesy lines as much as i do, and some of the cutest scenes ever to grace bl dramas, then you should definitely watch this drama... it'll be a waste if you miss out on not one but TWO of the cutest couples i've seen in thai bl. B-) at least watch MY TEE for drake. he's certified Baby^TM.
