Nearly Perfect

I watched this because it was on someone’s list of Best BL series. This is NOT a BL series. Despite one character indicating they could fall in love with men or women, there are no other BL elements. Might Puen be in love with Singha? Potentially. Might he have feelings for Than? Maybe. But all of that is left to the imagination of the viewer. Did I want BL storylines here? Yes, and I was hoping for multiple stories. I wanted ALL the boys to fall in love. Since I came in under false assumptions I spent the first 2 episodes wondering who the couple was going to be. Never happened. And guess what? I loved this series anyway.

I guess you could call this bromance, but even thst seems to go too far. This is about friendship, family, friends AS family, teamwork, believing in yourself and pursuing your dreams. It ranks up there with the best sports movies ever.

Started crying in Episode 3. The family dynamics were so well established. When Than breaks down, you see his hopes crushed. You feel his desperation for approval and acceptance. It was heartbreaking. I cried repeatedly throughout after that. This script, the acting, the direction, the music... were all near perfect.

Big props to Bank as Than. Great acting here for such a young kid. Plus... gorgeous. I can see why he has had such a strong career. But truthfully, ever actor even in the smallest role does a Remarkable job. The director brought out the best in the entire cast. Well done.

I will say, for the BL FANS, plenty of cute guys all over the place. Enjoy the shower scenes.
