If you're into fast-paced and sexy scene heavy BLs, this ain't for you lol

I never thought I'd ever write a review about a series, but I have the biggest urge to defend this series. First off, finally a drama that focuses on showing what irl working looks like and not just prancing around pretending to do something important by just using big words LMAOO. Everything about the office and on-site work plot I absolutely loved it and highly recommend to people who want to know what working in corporate as a young fresher looks like. The plot. I do have to admit it is a bit slow-paced but I am into slow-burn so I didn't mind lol.

Second; the cast. Everyone did an amazing job in this series, hands down some of the best acting I've seen in a while. Trust me fr cause I watch tons and tons of Bl dramas all year round. I do have to say that P'Man was my favourite in this, he has proved himself as a very talented actor. It is so hard to act by just your facial expressions, but he did such an amazing job, especially in the crying and pining scenes. Typically the bl tops are portrayed as "too tough to break down/ be vulnerable", but his character was so on point with showing his emotions and being so raw about it. He deserves more recognition honestly. But the cast for Pat, Chot, Ae, Jaab, Jen, Kanun they all slayed as well!

Third; the characters. The chemistry was chemistrying for sure. The main leads were adorable and so were the supports as well. I often find people saying the characters didn't have any "real" obstacles like a homophobic mother or toxic ex or sabotaging 2nd lead etc. But I think everyone should take a step back and realise that being human in itself is an obstacle for being in a relationship lol. Not saying these factors don't make sense, but I feel like even in "straight/gay/lgbtq" relationships its the individual's emotions that usually drives the decision and not these things. When you are confused about your feelings about someone, or when you're insecure in yourself and think less of yourself in comparison to another person, or when you're helplessly in love but can't be with that person due to practical reasons: these are all equally valid reasons and circumstances as any homophobia or scheming ex. I do admit that the character of Pat is dumb sometimes, but he's human, we're designed to be dumb LOL. So realistically speaking I think this series did a good job with all their characters, and Chot and Ae are so fun I loved them to bits!

Overall I'd say that if you're used to seeing things escalate from like the 2nd ep itself then you'll meed a lot of patience to watch this. Highly recommend this, do watch this if this review interests you lol ><
