YAS QWEN SKINNY LEGEND BOOTS THE HOUSE DOWN OKUR HUNTY MAMA AND I OOP SIS WORK MY PUSSY OUT BITCH!

Long story short: This thing was G O O D and you H A V E to give it a try.

First of all: WHERE THE HELL IS THE LOCATION OF THIS TOWN!? I have never seen scenery in Thailand more beautiful than this one. Sometimes I would forget about what's happening in the episode just because I was distracted by the beautiful visuals of the area. Really, I would move there if I weren't a starving man living in a third world country.

~Story:
I couldn't ask for anything more fascinating. I mean, it's a cop show, what could go wrong with it? Well, a lot, but that's not necessarily the case here. This is a very simple and obvious story, though, so you are probably going to guess how the plot will play out way before you watch the final episode. All the characters and settings are cliched references to the cop show genre to the point that it is very easy to point out who are the bad guys and their role in the story.
Still, this was a pretty decent show to watch. To be honest, it is not nearly at the level of, let's say, CSI, but it is still quite enjoyable.
The main reason why I began watching was because it was a BL but, honestly, I wish we could have gotten rid of that part. Or at least add it in a way that didn't feel "on the way." There were plenty of occasions I felt some scenes where out of place and, you guessed right, it just so happens to be the ones focusing on their romantic relationship. A good example of this, for those who already saw the series, is the laptop scene. In such serious and exciting moment in the story, them motherfuckers just had to start getting romantic right in the middle of it. I swear, it doesn't matter how fantastic those smooches were, it wasn't called for at such a moment!
What I meant to say is: I wish their relationship was a little more subtle since it feels like the romance drama and the cop drama were trying to fight each other for the spotlight.

~Cast:
Decent. There were flaws here and there a little too often, but nothing that bothered me enough to hate it. This is a drama that required very specific reactions in the right moments and many of those were missed, so I do wish we could have had better acting. But like I previously said: it was decent.

~Tan: He was quite good although I felt that the actor was *a little* restrained of his full potential. Like I was expecting a full reaction, but he only gave me half of it. He's still one of my favorites, though, because I stan a bad guy look. He was wearing black on almost all episodes, which is such a turn on for me aw yis.

~Bun: This doctor was such a man. I can't describe it any other way, he's just a man. A fucking idiot but in the adorable way. I like how they made this fully grown adult have the innocence of a child, but I just wish the actor was a little better at acting. The problem with him was the lack of emotion and ability to take it to the next level. I wasn't too impressed.

~Inspector M: M of "my goodness that cop outfit was so tight I was having impure thoughts." I didn't really get this character. It just felt like he was having multiple personality disorder because he was a different person when he changed from the cop to the civilian outfits and vice versa. I preferred the cop personality because I think it fits the actor much better. I actually don't have complaints about him -- he was the best one of the three.

Can I just add something, jush? I am so happy to finally have found a BL in which I can drool over the actors because they are either my age or similar age. I'm always embarrassed of being attracted to an actor in all the other BLs I've seen because I don't wanna look like a pedophile since most of those actor barely look like they went through puberty. Not my vibe, dude.

~Pacing, editing, and direction:
The pacing and editing were good. Again, this was one of the things were the cliched cop drama references took part of. For a good reason. If you're a fan of the cop genre you'll like how the story was put together. In my case, I liked everything until the romance began kicking in because of the reasons I stated above.
The direction is the thing that disappointed me the most. This show is not at the level I wish it could be. It's not CSI, you know? But I fervently wish it were. The vision wasn't fully realized and a lot potential was missed.

Sis, this show has literally EVERYTHING: Drama, suspense, action, roMANce, mystery, male titties, cops, backstabbing, puzzles, tight police outfits, corruption, blood, guts and chocolate cake. I mean, what else would you want? I totally recommend this drama. Definitely worthy of a rewatch and, hopefully, a season 2. Like, seriously, give me a season 2!
