10/10 Everything was good
10/10 Everything was good
I love this genre, and this series did not disappoint. I have over 300 BL series on my watch list, and to me, this ranks up there with "Not Me". It is like "KinnPorsche" but with a more modest budget, so the only grouse I had was that it wasn't as slick and polished, and the special effects from the gunfight scenes weren't as convincing in the first few episodes (looked like it had to do with post-production editing).
Other than that one minus point above, everything else about the series was rather enjoyable. Having watched Daou and Offroad in another BL ("Century of Love"), I find their chemistry stronger than before and very effortless and natural- in intimate scenes, you don't feel like they are acting the part, but that they're just being themselves).
Their interactions in intimate scenes felt completely unforced and they seemed full of affection for each other. In all their scenes together, there were no awkward pauses-everything flowed smoothly and easily.
Both male leads are convincing in their roles and Offroad's performance, in particular, was nuanced- one could never really tell when his character (Pheem) was lying to Than or telling the truth. He was so poker-faced sometimes that it seemed that Pheem himself couldn't separate his own lies from the truth.
The script itself was pretty tight and the pacing was decent.
The other characters in the series were pretty standard, but fortunately, they were more often 3 dimensional than not.
The ending itself was sweet but I think it might have ended better (and with less cliche) if they had Pheem meet Than at his home rather than at the docks.
Overall a satisfying watch with more pluses than minuses.
The male leads' natural chemistry and effortless interactions made the relationship aspect convincing. I rarely write reviews but I find that Daou-Offroad are often under-rated and under-appreciated by viewers, so wanted to point out that their acting is pretty good and they could
pull off this series rather well.
