A Solid BL

This is a show that got so much better as it went on, and by the end I was fully invested and flying through episodes. It's not my favorite drama I've watched, and not my favorite BL either, but it's a really solid show that I would definitely recommend to others.

I will admit, it took me a while to really get into the show and care about the characters. I'd only watched the Pete/Kao compilation of Kiss Me Again before watching this show— and while I do think that's the best choice if you're truly uninterested in the plots of Kiss: the Series and Kiss Me Again, it does lead to a little bit of a rough beginning in DBK. You don't know or care about the characters the same way you would if you'd already committed two series' worth of your time to them. Still, I did eventually grow to love all the characters and really enjoy watching their story.

I liked both of the BL plots a lot! I did enjoy Sun and Mork's plot line more, but that's probably because I tend to enjoy the "falling in love" stories over the "conflicts within the relationship" stories. Sun and Mork's story felt very coffeeshop AU in the best way.

My main complaint about this show was the superfluous addition of Rain and Manow's plot line. They're billed as main characters, yet their story is minuscule in comparison to the PeteKao and SunMork plots. The writers should have either committed more time to developing their story or cut it completely. It was really unneeded. I liked both of the characters fine, and I really enjoyed both Pluem and Ployphach's performances, but they were just really unnecessary.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a solid BL to try!
