If there is 1000 stars rating on MyDramaList, this drama truly deserves 1000 stars!

The best BL ever made (as of April 2021)!

As a fan of the novel, I would say (and I believe most readers agree too) that this drama adaptation of the novel really made well. This drama did justice to the novel although there were some changes here and there.

This drama is full of emotions ride. We were blessed with romance, happiness, drama and emotional stories in one go. If you are looking for a BL that is not typical, does not revolve around school-university students life with different setting, then this is the one.

Why I like it:
Great directing! (kudos P'Aof)
Great acting!
Great storyline!
Great music!
Great cinematography!
Great editing!

The chemistry of Earth and Mix is insane. We immediately felt the connection between Phupha and Tian the moment they met. The tensions and attractions of Phupa and Tian toward each other were crazy, greatly done and made me smile each time I saw the romantic scenes. Earth really did a great job in this drama. He improved a lot and managed to convey his feelings and thoughts through his expressions only and we immediately felt that. Mix, as a newcomer was amazing. He could carry this heavy role and express all complex feelings really well. His acting is natural and doesn't have "acting template" which sometimes some other actors look unnatural when they acted some difficult and challenging scenes. I felt connected to Tian's struggles, feelings, emotions and stories through Mix's acting.

Other characters did an awesome job too, they are there to fit the purposes and not just a character to fill up the storyline. I like Longtae, Khama and Dr Nam characters the most. One thing I particularly like is the cinematography of this drama. All scenes were beautiful and the camera work was really good and there was no awkward camera angle. I like the colour tone of this drama which gave warm and calm feelings whenever I watch it. Also, I must credit P'Aof for giving us such a high quality drama with good editing and storyline. Each episode did not feel boring, storyline was written and planned properly and the stories developed with sensical plotline and editing. The other beauty side of Thailand was portrayed really well in the drama and this made me really happy.

One last thing to note, I really love the conversation between Tian and Tul in which Tian expressed his feelings and fond of Phupa. He understands his feelings, he acknowledges it and there is no bullshit reason to tell why he likes Phupha. Also, the editing of that scene alone which also showed the conversations between Phupha and Dr Nam was beautifully done.

If you have watched this drama, I recommend you to read the novel too (I think English translation of the novel is available). If you haven't watched, please watch this beautiful drama. You will not regret it. It's hard to move on from this beautiful drama and I am sure I will watch this over and over again till I get tired or till new BL that can beat this drama produced. I haven't felt this kind of feelings after watching a drama for a long time and I would say the one year plus waiting for this drama was totally worth it!
