I had very high expectations and anticipation for this show. This is considering how much I loved PeteKao from Kiss Me Again & Our Sky, as well as how long I've waited for this show. Was it below expectations? Undoubtedly. But was it enjoying to watch? Yes.
The plot was the biggest issue with the whole series. In every story, there is a "problem" that creates a foundation for how the plot flows. In this case, the problem was simply just Kao continuing to teach Non when he said he wouldn't. This was weak/insufficient and made the PeteKao storyline fall flat.
SunMork, on the other hand, seemed very rushed. Despite my preference for PeteKao, I think the series would've been better if they cut out some PeteKao scenes and spent more time focusing and developing on SunMork. Their relationship felt rushed and I kind of lost interest towards the end.
However, there were many parts that I absolutely loved and enjoyed. There were a lot of heartwarming scenes and I liked how this show dealt with the actual difficulties of being gay and wanting acceptance. Not many BLs have done this and honestly, more should.
The production value was typical for GMMTV (Meaning it's a lot better than most BLs out there). The acting was good for the most part. It's obvious that TayNew's chemistry is strong and both of them played their roles very well. Newwie especially was a delight to watch as he portrayed Kao's emotions so well.
On the other hand, Gawin (Mork) & Podd (Sun) don't seem to have any chemistry at all. Gawin's acting is a little awkward and it feels as though he isn't comfortable with playing a character in a gay relationship. Podd's acting was fine for the most part and I truly feel he should get more recognition.
The music was okay. I actually ended up really liking the dramatic intro music, despite it not fitting the show's theme at all. There really isn't much for music other than that.
In conclusion, despite its flaws, I mostly enjoyed watching this show. Got frustrated at the characters during many occasions (especially Non and Kao), which actually shows a good reflection of how well they played their roles. Plus, this show has a good ending which made it worth watching. I would definitely recommend it if you love BLs and are running out of shows to watch.
