Was it worth the wait?

I had to wait for this one for long, till it was finally completely subbed and not just 2 episodes or just BL cuts. Was it worth the wait? Er... To watch Dan Worrawech, who was born 11 years earlier and reached completely different level of acting skills and screen presence, in contrast with greenhorn Toy Pathompong, makes an erratic watch at best. Not to mention that Dan Worrawech, otherwise awesome, was in his mid-thirties, so he did look bit ridiculous as the returned kid, whom his mom is going to have to teach all over again:)

It's funny that we watch a romance drama where there are no good guys. There is the main boy with looks of Toy Pathompong who has a girl AND a boy fighting over him, while both are nasty to the other and play dirty despite the fact that they probably don't even really love the guy. Even if they do, they are extremely manipulative about it. Toy Pathompong's main boy is supposed to be the good boy, while he is nice and polite and always tries to please the elders he also kinda likes sex, especially sex with men:) He picks a girl with super slutty exterior to make him forget and to use her as a smoke screen, while he says he loves her, it looks like he's just trying to be nice, too. He says he loves the boy, too (mostly after the boy purposedly cries in front of him, or tries to look pitiful in some way or other, to evoke compassion: that's basically his way of seducing him, lol), but we can see he's just into guys in general, he's also quite taken with one other guy, and would totally jump his bones had he not be straight:) It was funny when he tried to please that guy's elder but his docile and feminine behavior made the elder chase him away as "toot":) He then settled for the other boy.

The list goes on. Perhaps Dan Worrawech's "bad boy" is actually the good guy, he's just acting out because he's been hurt. And so even he is unable just to mind his own bussiness. The mother is harsh, she sets rigid boundaries for herself and everyone else. She hangs desperately on her pride, but to read between the lines, obviously she was once actually heartbroken over the "bad boy"'s dad:) In short, the characters are funny to watch. But it's the kind of moralizing mellow drama (with the exception of the " gun action" final which is far-fetched and far from "slice of life") typical for GMM25. This channel always tries to "educate" the viewers with life lessons, but uses social-magazine "real life" kind of stories typical for middle-aged married female audience, lol. So, watching it whole and not just those bl excerpts which might give an impression that this is some steamy show, this was actually like something for my aunty, she would probably rated higher but I suffice with the average 5 stars.
