KUMASHOCK
If I hear that damn piano music again I'll... I don't know... flip a table or something.
After having to experience the mess TharnType was, this turned out to be a much needed refresher.
This series is a reminder that you don't need a lot of money or a big production team to make something good, because what matters the most is the writing and a good set of actors. That's how this series made me feel, and I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised. I mean, the thing was better than many of the BL dramas I've seen up to this point (not that I've seen many, but you get my point).
The pacing and writing of the story felt natural and cohesive. There aren't any huge time gaps that leave you confused or thinking that they cut story out for the sake of timing. Something that bothered me, though, was the soundtrack. These companies need to learn to spend some extra coins on some good musical pieces, but the constant repeating of the same damn piano melody got me f*cked up. It was cute at first, but around episode 3 it got REALLY ANNOYING. Let's play a game: drink a whole bottle of Vodka every time a drama makes a "let's go to the beach!" or a "let's plant trees!" episode.
I believe this is the first drama were I actually find all the characters likeable, even the ones I don't really care about... and even all the couples were interesting. You know, it isn't uncommon to have more than one couple in the story; however, most of the time a big majority of them turn out to be absolutely irrelevant and a waste of time. This one, however, forms part of the very few dramas were I was looking forward to ALL the couples, and we have to thank the writers for that. There were four couples in total and each one of them had enough screen time to get to know and connect with them. Can't say that from A LOT of dramas out there!
BohnDuen --> I find hilarious how the main couple was completely overshadowed by the support couples, for good reasons! But I have to admit that I liked them despite of what the popular opinions say about them. Not everything has to be rainbows and disney-style romance and what really shone here was the comedic side of their relationship. Please give a well-deserved round of applause to Poy because he totally carried this relationship with his fun and approachable personality. Cooper has a predator smirk, by the way... don't know why I'm mentioning this, but whatever.
RamKing --> Well, hello there. What turned out really cool about them is that they got a main couple writing for a support couple. I really liked how well written Ram's character development was; it was unexpected, but excellent. Not a big fan of his voice, though, I expected something that sounded a lot deeper than that LOL. King reminds me of me by being this icebreaker kind of human. I like how he doesn't give up even though he got the cold shoulder plenty of times.
BossMek --> Honestly, I am this close to grab my gay ass and take a trip to Tri Creation's HQ and riot for them to bring Ryan back. Despite of whatever the hell he did to get himself fired, I must say that he was undeniably my favorite actor in this drama. I adored seeing how Mek's feelings were written all over his face on screen. He didn't even need to speak for me to know EXACTLY how he was feeling and THAT MAKES HIM A GREAT ACTOR, SIS! Inntouch (this f*cking name, y'all, I can't) was trying a little too hard to the point that his acting came a little forced, but I feel like it progressively got better. It makes me really curious what's going to happen to Boss next season.
TharaFrong --> Am I the only who doesn't wanna see them together? Don't get me wrong, I liked both actors and both characters, but they just don't match, sis. Shane 's acting felt a little awkward, so maybe is the lack of confidence by portraying a gay character? I don't know, but I am definitely curious about them next season.
Now talking about confidence. Poy and his fake cheek kiss got me pissed off. I mean, it's just a kiss on the cheek, man, it isn't like you gon turn gay just by a miserable kiss on the cheek. These straight actors need to loosen up a little bit. Look at Perth, he went all out and it was one of the best kisses I have seen in a BL drama so far.
All in all, this was a very good drama. If you're looking for your first BL series and want something lighthearted and fun, please watch this one with no hesitation! I'm sure you're gonna like it.
