Worth a chance!
The story is good, different from the usual in a good way. It's not too bad but it would have been better in my pov.Sun is a good actor and this role did really suit him. He played it well, just like how a bodyguard should be. Sky on the other hand didn't really get immersed with the character fully. I felt he was lacking in many aspects especially with his facial expressions and reactions but the chemistry was there, albeit not too much.
The drama also started getting rushed towards the end.
I did, however, enjoy Pitch and Bank and would love to watch them in a different drama where they're still a couple. They don't have to be the main leads but I feel that their chemistry can be developed.
Overall, it is an okay drama, just don't go into it with too much expectations.

Good series
I never write reviews mostly but after seeing many negative comments I'm writing this review.Please ignore all the negative comments.
I can say the main cast did an excellent job I just loved the chemistry of the lead pair and acting too. Loved Gun and Boat cute and hot pairing.
Their protectiveness and caring for each other amazed me.
If you want to watch bl other than the normal collage genre this is the right series to watch.
After the manner of death series this one interested me.
Please give time to watch this bl, it's worth it.
The second couple was also fun to watch.
Thumbs up for sunsky☺️

It started out really promising but around the middle, it slowly started to drop off and by the end I was kinda just ready for it to be over. It's not that I hated it, it was kinda more along the lines of no surprises, so what's the point I guess? I feel like I was more invested in the side characters more than I was Sun and Sky. Which sucks because they really did make a cute couple. I don't know why as time went on I lost more and more interest in them. And dare I say as time went on they seemed to get more awkward with each other? Or is that just me who gets that vibe?
I know I had major issues for the dad treating Sun more like a pet than anything. It was kinda psycho level "I'm going to adopt you, raise you to protect my son who you'll never meet until I need you too.... oh and I'm also going to collect your blood every 3 months, PS: call me father.. xoxo" That was just... pretty much all there was to it. Lol My thing is, you are so "protect my son protect my son I have to protect my son. You have to protect my son blah blah blah" .... until your son really did need saving and you didn't show up until AFTER the fight was all over. Are you serious? Then had the audacity to say Sun and Sky couldn't be together? What the fuck? Lol
Like it really wasn't mafia vs mafia... it was mafia vs college students and the students fucking won. Lol What's that say about you're "protective father" status?
And why did they need to prove themselves for so long? Why prove it at all, didn't he take a bullet for him? Didn't he stay by his bedside 24/7? I don't get it. Even up til the end I feel like the father still saw Sun as more of "cattle".
I'm glad for the happy ending and all but it still didn't seem to satisfy or justify the long wait. Especially with all they had been through.

I really wanted this to be good
This show started out really nicely. I was so excited for this bodyguard trope. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was hoping for.The series started out really strongly, however, I felt at times that the camera work was weird in some scenes, and Gun's acting is a bit rough. I felt like this was a weird character for him to play. I saw him previously in Love by Chance, and that character made sense for him to play. During some of the emotional scenes and scenes where he was angry, it was clear that he had to really try to act, and it kind of ruined some of the scenes for me.
I actually didn't make it to the last episode, because my sister told me how it ended and I was so disappointed that I couldn't bear to finish it.
I wanted this series to be so good and I wanted to love it so bad and I loved Boat's acting, but it just didn't hit the bar for me. The story and the concept itself have so much potential, but perhaps if it was with a different cast or maybe under a different studio it could've been so much better.
The silver lining for me was that the on-screen chemistry between Sun and Sky was definitely there and was sweet at times, but it was just the mounting of everything else that made me give it the rating I did.

Disappointed but honestly not too surprised
Don't read this if you're thinking of watching the series, even just a little. Would recommend u get the experience before reading anything I'm about to say.Hate to be that person, but as someone who was quite excited for this show, I sure was disappointed. /soorry for the rant-iness of this review. I am just so sad over the outcome.
I will go over the best part of the show first: BankPitch.
Oh, how sad I was that this side couples storyline was skipped in the ways it was... One second they're "mad" at each other over something, the next they're acting like besties, and suddenly they're a couple? I really hate how common this is for most shows, but I ended up being a lot more excited for this side couple's storyline than the main one's. And that is not at all common for me when watching Thai BL dramas. I was not in the least expecting these two to become anything more than acquaintances at most. Guess who was proved wrong, and that's probably why I ended up liking them as much as I did. It was really unexpected. I honestly thought Pitch was gonna be some "villain" type character on the drug lord's side at first, and that uncertainty remained for most of the series. Up until when Bank and Pitch started becoming closer with each other.
The tension when their first (almost-)kiss happened was incredible. It made me really excited for more BankPitch, maybe some backstory n all that juicy stuff. I don't know, the build-up of BankPitch was simply a lot more satisfying than whatever SunSky had going on with the family drama, that Sky's dad later on also joined, I just wasn't at all interested.
But that certainly wasn't going to happen with how short the show was. So I tried real hard not to get attached to them, but the chemistry between Gun and Boat just wasn't comparable to Tenon and Sugus ?? I'm like- I ended up not even really liking Sky as a character towards the later haft of the series. (Sun is soooo precious, he tots grew on me instead, compared to my first impression of him from the beginning).
The show also started feeling quite rushed towards the latter half/last third of the series and I felt like a lot was left unexplored because of the time limit. The time-skip at the end of the last episode also really threw me off, damn I hate those kinds of time-skips. It always feels so unnecessary… and nothing can mend my broken BankPitch heart. I sound so salty over all this but I really was so disappointed in what this series could've become if it only had more time to play with... Not blaming anyone, just personally would've loved a more cohesive storyline with some more thoroughly developed BankPicth is all. I would love to see TenonSugus as an on-screen couple again, this time with a more developed storyline…
Aaah no this series was just so disappointing… :'))

It was camp
So this was cute and fun im just gonna get that out the way. If you've been watching bl for a while you must have come across the bodyguard trope and some have been done really well, with this show I'd say they had all the material but it still lacked something.Now i my negatives, the acting kinda wasnt there like at all maybe a few scenes you can see them trying their best but the rest well lets say they were "acting". And when it came to the supporting actors mainly the 2 girls i felt a wasted potential with them. They honestly were just props for jealously and sad crushes that never work and we all know how girls that have crushes on gay men act in these shows. Maybe if they gave them a GL storyline it would have been even better for the show idk.
Now the positives my babies bank and pitch, they really stole the show for me especially bank. He's so cute and honest with what he wants that its hard to dislike him. Pitch may start of a bit off but he comes around and honestly it made his character 10x loveable. The main couple were interesting thats all imma say tbh like you gotta watch the show to see for yourself. Oh also the budget was really good surprisingly and the fights werent that bad.
So overall really fun, sloppy sure but nothing too cringe to make you turn the laptop off. So enjoy and hope this long ass review helped.

The best drama ever
I’m not at all exaggerating when I say this is the best drama I’ve ever seen. I love all the actors, characters, plot, absolutely everything about it. It’s hard to believe that in the beginning, sky didn’t want sun around and didn’t want to be babied but now he sees that sun really does care for him and all the events show that. I don’t wanna elaborate too much more because I would like for everyone to enjoy this drama for themself. I’m often attached very much to dramas but this one (along with the untamed, make it right, be loved in house, fish upon the sky, he’s coming to me...) I’m extremely attached to and in love with to the point that I don’t wanna get anywhere near the finale because I love every single thing about it so so so very much. I recommend this to everyone!!! All the dramatic action scenes are so well done and the actors do it so well!!! Everything about their acting is amazing!! Back to the cast, I remember sky/ gun from love by chance and idk why but something about him made him my favorite character in that series and when I saw that he was in this drama I literally screamed. Gun and Boat act so well together and i don’t think I’d be able to watch dramas with them in relationships with other people because I love them together very much:). Sorry for the long review but it truly is amazing!!! 💜💜💜Was this review helpful to you?

This could have been so good!
So much wasted protentional of a good idea.The main couple had no chemistry. There was so many moments where nothing happened that I started forwarding through the scenes. I can only watch so many scenes of one guy standing in a kitchen making food.
The first episode made Sun look like as superhero, dodging bullets, beating down five guys at a time, and then later failing to protect Sky against one guy.
The chemistry between the second couple was fantastic, I started following their storyline, but that was few and far between.

Don't Waste Your Time
I gave this series two chances but it really wasn’t my cup of tea, the dialogue is cringe, the acting is extremely forced and there is no chemistry between the main couple. I would not recommend this series. There is really nothing that could save it, but if you still dare to experience it, I would advise to go for the movie, so you will have less to endure.I liked the photography in some scenes and the second couple even if being there for cringe comical relief still had a better chemistry than the main couple, but still not enough to make it worth watching.

Content Warnings: violence, tragedy (not between m/m)Watch it for Pitch/Bank if you want, but unfortunately the potential was definitely not reached.
What I Liked
- a nice concept of a bodyguard/protectee
- humor mixed with action
- some cute fluff moments
- Pitch/Bank as the side couple
- Sky's dad's acting
- production value seemed fine
Room For Improvement
- that sponge bath was too invasive
- Gun's sad/angry acting, this was just painful to watch and it's partially the director's fault
- many plot holes/non-logical things such as: why wouldn't Sky's mother pre-donate her own blood (especially when she was pregnant as there can be complications), why couldn't Sky donate to her (granted he couldn't do as much as he was a child but still...), why wouldn't Sky pre-donate his blood since it's so rare, why would you put one of the only blood donors in an extremely dangerous job, why did the writers have them be in the art department when Sun can't draw and that's easily found out by the university, why did Pitch get a personality transplant, how did Pitch/Bank become boyfriends
- how Sky used those two women which I was worried about from the beginning, they should have cut out their characters and focused more on Pitch/Bank
- lack of character growth from Sky especially
- I absolutely hate time gaps and this was no exception, the ending felt very rushed

TBH it's closer to bronze than gold ...
Oh boy, this was a little disappointing.....but I was kinda expecting it.The story isn't bad...who wouldn't like to watch the forbidden love between the son of the mafia and his bodyguard? I know, right?? Sounds pretty interesting to me too! But the really missed the mark is pretty much all aspects on this one, and that hurts.
I really wanted this series to be good, but it wasn't. The chemistry wasn't there, the rare kiss scenes between SunSky were givind dead fishpallooza *UUUGHHH* The acting too was pretty rough - trust me guys, it pains me to write these words, but I have to be honest here. Sun (Boat) and Pitch (Sugus) were the best actors, but that alone wouldn't save the series. Sky's cries were very cringy lolol and that date scene OMG lolololol NOPE. I CAN'T.
The whole plot of the dad being obsessed with his "rival" and calling him mid attacks were stupid lol the guy is clearly doing EVERYTHING to kill his son (Sky) and he thinks it's a smart mafia decision to call him and laugh (very fake btw) about burning his drugs? Come on...just give him your son, it saves us time lolololol so dumb.
I'm not even going to say much about the "you have to prove that you love each other by not speaking for 6 years.....and then MAYBE you can be together" bullshit. I really HATE when they do that. It calls their audience (us btw) idiots! Why did it take him 6 years tho? Their reunion after 6 fucking years were also very lame.
Yeah. It felt like a lukewarm soup that needed way more seasoning on a very cold night. Don't really recommend this one.....watch it at your own risk.
