Dive (2019)

Though is not BL is worth watching.

I read a lot comments on other sites about show being a scam and not worth watching because the lack of BL content but I have to disagree. Without getting into spoiler territory I think people should give it a try. The diving plot is interesting even though is a bit predictable and cliche. The friendships are incredibly well developed and the chemistry ia off the chart. I was pretty invested in the romantic relationship too until they took a turn for the worst (my opinion) but not enough to ruin the story. Seriously give it a try if you are slightly interested... don't run away for the lack of gay content. That being said the potential to be a great BL was there... i will look up for a novel/manga/something and hopefully it will be BL.

This is a good, solid drama with hearty, cheerful characters and relationships everything from cute romance to some super heavy bromances. Not my usual fare so I was surprised I even liked it this much but no doubt it was the Thai part of the story and Nonkul that initially got me hooked. But as I kept watching I not only got involved in the swimming plots but also the story of Haoran and Tian Lin, it was heartbreaking to see them struggle with their feelings about one another and not being able to completely let go of the other person and not being able to make sense of their true feelings, for each other and toward other people. But the whole thing is crafted well and great production value makes the viewing fun. But I think for some reason that one scene where Nonkul wears a bear costume and goes to Bailong's house, I don't know why it felt poignant and just so beautiful. I don't think this is the type of drama I'd re watch but regardless great for when you need something light but with some emotional scenes.
