STRAIGHTFORWARD BUT ENJOYABLE
Not much to say about this one. This is a fairly standard story, although it does have some slight differences. I liked the boys sleeping together on the first night and then having to navigate from there. But the familiar, I've got a girlfriend, I'm gonna cheat on my girlfriend, yet be pissed when she cheats on me, then turn into a needy, possessive "husband" is a bit too cliche for me. Still, I enjoyed the journey of these two characters. You can see that they had to shorten a whole season into 4 episodes, so you only get the highlights of this relationship and I think that's a good thing. If I had to watch 13 episodes of him getting back with Ploy, breaking up, sleeping with Mark, getting back with Ploy... it would have been too frustrating. So this was just the right amount of cliche for 4 eps! Haha.
I liked the two main characters and actors. There was an ease and naturalness to their portrayals. Mark had such expressive eyes. All those sidelong glances and I could tell just what he was thinking. If I had to say any actor played the gay vibe the best, it would be him. He reminded me of so many guys I know. But he spends so much time pouting. I wish they could have brought more levels to his character. All the supporting roles do a fine job as well.
I did enjoy that this was a real relationship. There was actual sex - at least talked about. I liked how all the friends knew what was going on and teased each other about it. It felt very contemporary in that regard.
All in all, a decent journey, expecially since it doesn't require much time or investment. It's a sweet story that should leave you satisfied.
