Decide yourself

So here I am cracking my fingers because this will be the lengthiest review I have ever done so far on Dramalist and that's saying a lot. Whilst you might think it would be a positively driven one being the lengthiest its because the series gave a funny headache.

Where to start. The series is not bad and it's not good either. For the whole night I stayed up to watch it, my brain cells kept getting confused as to whether to die-out or freeze over. The story or plots are a disaster, however, it's a beautiful disaster once you can get past seeing Bakka's and other beauty product advertisements within the series each time because they portray as a normal scene and I am wondering what happened only for me to see the bag carryon bag and i am like here we go again. You could also try getting past Miss Becky, the Mary Poppins or should I say Fairy godmother wanna be, another going past would be Moira.... jeez I could kill that girl. at least in #TogetherWithMe Plernpleng was pretty and very crafty and calculative with her devious plans, but Moira here, should probably not have been in the show. I wanted her dead from ep1, then try getting past the unrealistic scenes (which for me if I was watching Korean or Chinese fantasies I would be fine with), but hey this ain't one of those so its annoying that Moira and dumber try to dognap and conveniently the guard to Ace's mansion (which is practically like a palace and should have better security systems by the way or more than one guard), is sleeping and the strong sliding gate is open. I mean where does that actually happen that he leaves the gate open in the middle of the night and dozes off as if expecting the nappers, what I smelt there were the girls not being able of course to jump the high gate so the script had to leave it open for them. Yet I come back to the fact that whilst want can weirdly try to appreciate that Ace sees his dogs more like children, but what's with the dognapping to get revenge.

Moving on, on things to get past is Shy's dad, he was practically in a mind limbo for most of the series and was wondering if there was any need to have included him in the first place. You probably would also need to get past Aki's acting of Ace, his expressions were borderline puke worthy because they were not necessary, you know that expression "crying more than the bereaved"? he was the king. Very dramatic when rushing Sky to the hospital for his allergy. I think his acting skills with regards to that needs more improvement. Then let's visit another thing getting past. Sky's drunken state, both times in the earlier part of the series he was drunk, not only did Ace become overly dramatic but also Sky's brother Ken and his mum at some point I felt they were treating his drunken state like he had malaria and were fawning over him in ridiculous ways.

But you know what amidst the weird scenarios and poor acting I did enjoy a few things:
1. the chemistry between Sky and Ace, both as friends and as boyfriends
2. the steamy hot scenes of course
3. for some weird reason I loved Sky's brother Ken and Sky's mum they made the family time worth looking forward to. Sky's mum is just a bundle of awesomeness
4. I loved Jelai's interactions with jam even though some might say its borderline harassment it was cute

So whilst at every episode, I kept questioning why I was watching it and kept face palming myself for stressing my brain cells, I still enjoyed it in a silly way. The plots honestly could have been better. Welcome ep8 Ace invites Sky to join him for a client meeting (meanwhile anytime they go for client meetings Sky is always on casual wears), but this time he wears a suit, gets to the venue sees a dreamy set-up and does not ask questions, Ace reaches out his hands he takes it and then they spend some dumb minutes chatting and feeding themselves and I was like "hello"... because even if yes Sky likes Ace, i would still have expected him to have asked where is the client and whats with this set-up guess what he asks after they were done with their playing and feeding. So really I don't know what to say. One puke worthy moment i will not forget that probably would have landed me in the hospital since i was on the treadmill while watching was episode 10 Ace's birthday scene from when Sky talked till the end of their dance. The dance scene was reminiscent of a cinderella setting with a superman ost feel and a room full of Fujoshies. the scene made me dry heave to the point i bent my head down forgetting i was on a treadmill.

Worst still for me is that this is a 2020 series I expected more from the actors and the plots, but then again i have practically watched all Thai, China, Japanese and Korean BLs and just came across this. Again like i said okay to watch for the first time won't probably watch another time and if you are going to watch, try getting a bandaid for your brain cells and also sun shades if you can spare to block out some scenes. Otherwise enjoy
