Great cast. Badly written. Red Flag city.

What do you do when you get a bad script, a lazy director but, great actors? You do the best you can. Honestly, this is a red flag story that never should have made it to screen as written.

I stuck with this until the end for the main story. But, so much of this needed fine tuning or, a page or, two in the shredder.

Tine: He requested the help from Wat when Green was becoming more and more aggressive. Why then - for the next too many episodes to mention - does he fight and become so mean each time he is looked at as being gay? He asked for it - what does he think his request means? And, he never truly gets to use Wat to keep - many times, creepy - Green away.

Also - Tine and a few of his friends are pretty awful people. They say and do hurtful things and care nothing of consequences. I followed some live comments for a couple episodes and I was not alone in thinking their behavior was pretty bad. I kept expecting a few bonus episodes like we have seen from other BLs when the writers get wrong and have to fix it to keep their fans happy and the advertiser dollars rolling in.

Green: Why was he even there? His character was a mess from beginning to end. He searches out Tine - sexually harasses him - yet - he is secretly in a relationship with someone else - who he is supposedly - temporarily for plot convenience afraid of? Physical abuse on top of that. The timeline of Green's story is a mess and nobody bothered to fix it. Approximately, 12 weeks pass from beginning of the series 'til the end but, Green's partner only gets involved towards the end? References are made to fights and running away but, none of that makes sense if you actually watch the characters go through each episode.

Sarawat: The only sane and decent person in the bunch. What he had to go through to hook up with Tine...I fell for him. Wat's gaydar must work really well because, no matter how much you pine for someone - this story gives you the illusion you can turn anyone you want if you stick with them long enough. Thank god the writers showed that Tine was unable to hold any male-female relationship - even though he didn't know why.

Mil: Notice that he never had to answer for getting Wat and Tine physically beaten/assaulted? He got a free walk on that one and everyone involved didn't even get so much as a slap on the wrist. Let's hire a group of thugs to physically beat two people with sticks and fists and gloss over the physical and psychological pain they cause and brush it off as over zealous friends helping another.
