Beauty in Simplicity
Let me start by saying that there is nothing extra-ordinarily great about this series. The story is simple with 2 students fake dating each other which turns into true love over a period of time. What I in fact enjoyed the most was the acting of the 2 leads. Their chemistry was top notch and you could feel the love between them.
The story progresses slowly which is a plus in my book as we get enough time to see how the feelings are developing, a bit of their back stories, their passions and their faults. The story is well paced, except for the mandatory 3rd act breakup that comes and goes too soon in my opinion and just seems rushed. Do not show angst for the sake of showing one.
Yet again as with many other Thai BLs I found myself rooting for the supporing characters more than the main leads. The friends of each of the leads also performed exceptionally well and their individual love stories although started mid-series but had a satisfactory conclusion.
Since both the leads are in the music group there are bound to be songs and it did not disappoint. Not something I would listen to daily but did not turn me away from the scenes.
