A masterpiece

Hear me out: was this series perfect? No it was not, but boy did I love the storyline, the acting, the music… it is a masterpiece and here is why:

I think we all agree that the story suffered a bit and some points never got explained (like who the fuck was that old man Dan was brought to by Techit?)
But I loved how much the lovestory was subtle and in the background especially in the first half of the series. There was actually a story and yes it feels sometimes a bit luckluster, the big „plans“ are sometimes just unlogical and I also never understood what Gumpas role really is… he is kinda like a trainer/informer/dad but with whom he works we never got to know. But the portrayal of actual characters with brains and rational feelings felt like a breath of fresh air. The sabotage acts show us clearly the youth of the gang but the series still feels mature. I did not cringe once.
We also got two more or less relevant female characters and I loved them! While Namo did not have much of a story I loved Eugene! Her character was amazing and I was so happy for her and Gram in the end. Again, the series did not just concentrate on two gay storylines, which made it a lot more realistic.

I loved the character developement. Every single character (except maybe Gumpa) grew througout the series and I loved it! They all matured a lot and changed for the better, even Black in the end in my opinion. His eyes seemed softer the last time he talked to White.
Sean grew up, Gram got to know his limits, Yok had to go through a heartbreak, White and Black speak for themselves.

The acting: fantastic! I may have never seen an actor that mastered a twin role as perfect as Gun did… speachless. He deserves at least a standing ovation for this! And I don‘t think I even have to mention First, he is on another level which made it even harder for Fluke, whose acting next to Papang was the weakest. But overall still one of the best Thai series acting wise I have watched.

The soundtrack and the cinematography fit so well for the series and were very thoughtful. The stylists deserve a raise, I loved how they let the actors have normal skin without layers of layers of concealer, they looked amazing and once again it made everything so much more realistic.

Okay I try to find an end here, overall one of the strongest (Thai BL) series I have watched and I will not stop to recommend this to everyone!
