Heartbreakingly beautiful
This series is very different from all the shows I've seen from Thailand so far. I really enjoyed it, it doesn't have a lot of your typical stereotypes in Thai Bl and that only made me appreciate it even more.
The way the script and characters were written is superb. The way the characters deal with loss, homophobia, and self-acceptance is incredibly well-written and you can see growth in the characters as the series progresses.
The actors did an amazing job, their acting was on point, not only the main couple but, the mother as well, I think the way the actress portrayed her was incredibly well done. One of the things I really appreciate is the way Wang calls out his mother's behaviour and her microaggressions that she hides behind banter. It's a great conversation regarding real acceptance and doing the politically correct to save face. Also, talk about codependency I swear the entire cast of this show needs a LOT of therapy.
I think that the way this series was written is perfect I didn't miss your typical cliche kisses or anything like that, the yearning only made the characters so much more believable.
One thing that I really appreciated and I won't spoil it but, the way it ends just felt perfect for this story I don't think they could have given it a better ending if they tried.
The cinematography is gorgeous, the sets are beautiful and the way it was filmed, especially the night scenes made it feel much more intimate almost as if the viewer is eavesdropping on the characters' lives.
