I finally watched this drama in its entirety. I was putting it off for so long not because I wasn’t interested in it, just the opposite. I knew that this was the last story of Pete & Kao that we will ever get and I did not want it to end. Because I love them so much. They are my Thai OTP to end all other OTPs. These characters made me fall in love with Tay & New - with Newwiee in particular, if you haven’t noticed by now ? - and their story, Pete & Kao’s, is what stuck with me ever since I’ve seen them on-screen together for the first time.
And DBK is simply amazing. Pete & Kao’s love for each other literally oozes from the screen. There’s no on-screen sex, there’s very little kissing and yet, there’s absolutely no doubt that Pete & Kao love each other so much it hurts. They’re the perfect proof that you can make a PG-rated BL drama and it can work. And Tay & New’s chemistry is really breathtaking here, honed to perfection over the years that they’ve worked together.
Their story in this drama was fascinating to watch. Pete’s love for Kao but also his unreasonable jealousy stemming from his insecurities. Kao’s love for Pete but also his reluctance to come out stemming from his fear of disappointing his mother. Pete’s desire to become better for Kao, to provide for Kao and Kao’s constant stress and need to work more, all the time, so that his mom and his sister won’t have to. And then the ultimate clash of their issues - made even worse by Non.
Gosh, whether you take book!Non or drama!Non, he’s a real creep. Yes, in the drama you understand him better but that doesn’t change the fact that he is a creep, obsessed with Kao to the point of stalking him and assaulting him, never taking no for an answer - and finally, almost ruining his life.
This makes for such a good, intense, interesting story, carefully build up and anchored in the characters’ traits, and the snowball effect of Non’s actions, the destruction of everything that Kao’s been working so hard for is heartbreaking to watch. But, gosh, does it give Newwiee some really juicy acting material to work with!
Truly an incredible, unforgettable story that sticks with you long after it’s over. PeteKao’s part of DBK deserves 10/10!
(Since I didn’t like SunMork, I’ll leave the rating of their story to their fans.)
