Worth your bite!

It was absolutely great. It came this close to what I had imagined, but it is no less than fantastic.

I mean for a BL, the game has been up recently, with meaningful storylines, arcs and characters interactions. Bite Me, is one of the new series in streamline BL industry, that is not boring, usual and typical. There is not over the top music, infact it has one of the best background scores. Perhaps among top 10 in BL shows. I just loved it.

There is this sadness one can see in Aek eyes, but it is not traumatic sadness, it is kind of loneliness, and of unfulfilled dreams with life being directionless. He has this magical aura, that wherever he goes, your eyes are glued to him. He is simple, middle class country boy, who has a talent in cooking, a gift that runs in his genes. He can see smell and without making any effort he can create best food that your tastebuds would ever taste. However, he is tethered to his mother request of seeing him successful, rather following her footsteps of becoming a chef, although her mother doesn’t oppose his choice of pursuing a career in chef industry, she just wants to see him live a comfortable life. But as fate would have it, he is going to create magic with a help of a person, he is gonna fall hard.

Aue, an owner of newly opened restaurant, and runner-up of Chef Thailand, where Aek, make deliveries, noticed this young man who tells an ingredient in a dish made by him, without having it tasted. Aue, gets intrigued by his intuition and senses his talent for cooking and starts to peruse him.

The undeniable chemistry with Aue and Aek is gorgeous, they book look insanely good together. Aek looks at Aue, with these dreamy eyes that created this sizzling hot beam of light around them, that one can’t help but fall for both of them. Aue on the other hand, is kind and happy go person, a talented chef, falling for another talented chef. There process of food making in kitchen, and Aek learning from Aue, is truly is birth of their long-lasting love. Which I am looking forward to it.

The series doesn’t look so rough and tough, but as per usual storyline, there will be misunderstanding and hard time for the couple at some point in series later. I just hope they will be able to overcome all the hardships, they are going to face.

The side characters, the friends of Aek, are not at all loud, nosy and useless, they are subtle, supportive and like a normal friend. I love Gameboy, his appearance definitely added some weight to series, if not alot.

The last food based thing I watched was “The Hundred-Foot Journey”, I know BM will be nowhere near it, but I hope they show the food as much as they are going to show them falling for each other.

Everything else is great about this series, the production values, acting, camera work, editing, mixing, visual effects and cinematography. Looking forward with great passion. I hope it is truly a journey of “Bite Me”.
