The Thai Film Industry still sets the gold standard for production values in BL dramas. "Oxygen" is beautifully photographed, the soundtrack is flawless and the score is excellent. In fact, it was refreshing to have a real film score and not have variations of the OST pop songs repeating over and over again. I did note one major editing error, where the Phuri character starts to give his love interest Kao a sponge bath and the actor who plays Kao starts to laugh. The cut-away is way too late. But that little blooper aside, this is an enjoyable multi-bromance soap opera. It's interesting they use the word "gay" (at least in the English translation) because nothing particularly "gay" happens here, except for some light kissing and hand holding. There's enough of a plot to sustain, maybe 8 episodes but it feels like there's a lot of padding to stretch it to 13, 45-minute shows. All of the characters are likable, except for Phuri who is sort of inexplicably indifferent to everything -- except when he's called on to resolve a fist fight. The most interesting bit of drama comes early on when Solo is given a date rape drug by a female admirer who wants to video tape a sexual encounter to post online. Women are often irrelevant characters in these Yaoi dramas -- or they're a catalyst to get to guys together, and there is one of these sub-plots, so this was a fresh addition. The various male pairings do conform slightly to the seme-uke stereotypes, but at least its pretty subtle. All of the guys stay in the masculine gender role lane. The writing may be more clever than it appears at first glance, as I noted a number of motifs that could be interpreted as double entendres, but I'll have to leave that to your imagination. I give "Oxygen" a high re-watch score for the outstanding production values and acting, even if the plots are a bit too familiar.
