NC Galore over substance
The characters in this series have no real purpose. In every episode they either go to location A or location B to have lunch or coffee and pointless conversation. And then they insert location C every once in a while, like a bar (where the most interesting characters get 30 seconds of screentime) or the office of the grumpy father who seems to be the only one to have a proper desk in this house while everyone else is doomed to work in an anatomical nightmare -the living room. With tiny tablets because the cars were so expensive they couldn't afford better technology. Also, lot's of dry humping. Sweet.
I was exited to see BoatOat again. "My Stubborn" was my guilty pleasure last year. "My Stubborn" had no real plot either but it showed the universal experience of being in a situation-ship with a fckboy who acts like your boyfriend but says he isn't. Men and women around the world can relate to that. But "Knot" should have a proper plot, right? I had high expectations in this co-production of M Flow and One31. So, what happened to the budget? The scene in episode 5 where Ongsa and Nakhin sit in the car looks cheaper than in the 80's. Everytime Phatsa holds a folder with company data and randomly finds huge meaningful information, I feel like I'm watching a theatre play. Who wrote this? Where is the plot? What is this all about? Do we not care? Because sometimes they do the pheromone thing and drop alpha and omega and NC NC NC?
Unfortunately the production team seems to think that as long as they deliver steamy scenes and ABO-lore, the viewers don't care about the lack of story building. The rating for "Knot" may be high but it's sets the bar excruciatingly low.
The actors are the least to blame here. Oat really looks sad when he cries but maybe he actually felt sad because I do too - when I watch "Knot".
