What the h happened??
KNOT, this is going to be a long one. Honestly, I was super excited when they announced the first Thai BL with a real omegaverse setup. And this girl is a simp for omegaverse! đ I really enjoyed the first 7 episodes of KNOT, then came Ep 8 until the finale, and I really donât know what the heck happened??
The omegaverse premise of the series was quite solid, at least in the beginning. Them showing pheromones, slick, heat, rut, bond, inferiority, superiority, mating, and many more. Name it. I love how they fully explained the ABO details. It helps everyone understand the world theyâre trying to show, both those who have knowledge of omegaverse and those who donât.
So for me, I didnât really mind them explaining things. It also gave us an idea of an Enigma baby, how male pregnancy works, knotting, and of course, nesting.
Chemistry-wise, all three couples showed good chemistry. Story-wise, it was kind of interesting, though there was too much happening with the daddy issues on both sides, the beta woman, and then the main conflict. With all of that, I wonât complain much since I was much more seated for the omegaverse lore.
Now, back to why I started disliking the series. I know âdislikeâ is a big word, but sorry, itâs just how I really see it. From Episode 8 onwards, everything became so slow. They were explaining everything in detail, even things that werenât part of the omegaverse concept. They were constantly discussing obvious things over and over again. Like how Nakhin loves Ongsa not just because he is a beta. These lines were repeated, I think, at least 4x throughout the series. How they realized it was all a setup? I guess discussing it at home wasnât enough. They needed to rediscuss it in the office and then have another meeting in the cafĂ©. đ
Then there was the whole beta empowerment explanation, followed by another repetitive explanation of why SangNuea became a villain.
At this point, they shouldâve just created a podcast if they were going to talk and talk. đ
The only thing keeping me watching was the omegaverse premise, and clearly, that was missing in those last episodes. Theyâre all alphas, a true alpha actually, and there they were running from the goons. What happened to the superior pheromones of an alpha??
And the title is KNOT. I was expecting a special knotting scene, and there they are, knotted in a freaking car. LOL. đ
And where is our Enigma baby?! We at least deserve to see the wedding of the new head of the family and their baby! But nothing. Are they planning a special episode? Oh god!! đĄ
I swear this series has a LOT of potential. I just wish they had utilized the omegaverse concept more, especially toward the end.
And am I the only one who noticed the distorted video quality in the series, especially on the side parts of the screen? Or was it just me? đ
