The realest shit I have ever seen

First two episodes were the best stuff I have ever seen in my six years long BL watching career, lol. The chemistry is through the roof. Boun and Prem are both attractive individually and as a couple. Boun is beautiful and hot. Prem is cute and - who would have guessed? - pretty alluring. They both gained popularity as a side couple where they didn't have much story like Korn and Knock in Bad Romance or Tin and Can in Love By Chance. I thought this series would be a failure like Love By Chance 2. I was sure they wouldn't be able to step up their romance game and show us some decent love making scenes. Despite their dazzling chemistry they were holding back in intimate scenes. But boy, was I wrong! They outperformed themselves in those two episodes. Especially Prem is showing us a side of him I didn't even knew he had. No wonder they remind me of Max and Tul. Whatever expectations people had for this series - THEY DELIVERED! This is not about some hot kissing or naked bodies. This is about the emotions, the lust, the sexiness, the longing, the trust, their personalities, how they connect with each other - it's unbelievable good. The best. The good film making and fitting music is also a reason for those scenes being so great. I don't know how they are supposed to top that in the upcoming episodes. From here on it can only go downhill. I don't believe they can keep up the quality until the end. In the best case they can manage for five more or so episodes.
Still, let us give credit where credit is due. THEY DID WELL.
Even if this series goes downhill, I won't change my rating. They impressed me too much with those two episodes and their intimate scenes. And yes, I have seen KinnPorsche, Love In The Air, TharnType, Together With Me etc. But those two are on a different level. Because this time everything works: good enough written characters, good actors who are comfortable with each other and have one of the best chemistries ever seen on screen, hot intimate scenes that feel very raw and real, no top/bottom stereotypes, no consent issues, good balance of humor and drama, good film making and good music, good enough side characters. The whole team surpassed itself.

I'm honestly surprised the internet ist not broken yet.

EDIT: I have never seen another BL series that started out THAT strong and went downhill THAT bad. This was obviously just a money grab. Nobody of the team involved wanted to create a good series, or they just lost motivation after the first episodes. I have to lower my rating, because such a high rating is unfair towards other (much better) series, but I will still keep it high. Because the first 3 episodes were great and are worth watching and rewatching. But don't bother watching the rest.
