Unromantic BL Classic

I feel that this show was more focused on this SOTUS system than it was on the couple. I didn't like that they wrote in their friends' drama, including the side couple. It felt unnecessarily distracting and it added no spice.

There weren't many intimate scenes between the leads. People say this is enemies to lovers (which I love), but this felt more like Kongpob was pretend flirting and he accidentally fell in love. There wasn't enough romantic development for me to feel like I was on the journey of a romance.

I didn't understand why people loved this show so much until I read the novel. It included insight into Arthit's character that was necessary to appreciate the character and their romance. The cast did a pretty good job of bringing the novel to screen. I'm not sure if this means that the plot itself was lacking or that they added too much and dragged the show on for too long.

Overall, this is a classic BL drama that people recommend and I can see why. It was satisfying when they got together and it was pretty sweet, if you can take into account how Arthit's feelings develop. The music made the drama feel hyped up enough that I had to finish the whole thing in two days.
