A Classic

When watching, I felt a strange sense of familiarity about this movie, and it wasn't until I reached the couch scene when it hit me: I had seen this movie years ago, but blocked it out of my brain due to the ending. Back in the day, I was a traumatized little gay guy in college and, during that time, I watched so many Asian BL movies that were so tragic I couldn't help but to force myself to forget them all. Nowadays, I noticed that I actually liked this movie the way it is; a beautiful yet tragic story.

First of all, WAY better than the drama series. BY A LOT.

~Story:
This has to be one of the works that established the BL genre in Thailand because it has EVERYTHING that makes up a BL today. This movie is what you would call a "classic." When you look at it from that perspective, you realize the plot is quite simple, but what really makes it good is how complete it feels. All the important things have been laid out on the table for you, leaving nothing behind. This is one of the things a lot of dramas today are missing and it is a shame. Everybody is trying so hard to come up with a super complicated plot that doesn't amount to anything at the end, when instead, you should just get to the point without beating around the bush so much.

~Cast:
I don't have a lot of complaints. The older movies always seem to have a questionable acting, but this one was a little more decent and enjoyable. Let me talk about some of them, though:

-Golf: He was pretty okay, I think. He was, for the most part, believable, but I did notice his acting was a little restrained whenever he was yelling in anger. That part felt quite fake, but everything else was passable.

-Bank: It's so funny to me how the actor made no difference between his roles as Bank and Pharm from "Until We Meet Again." You can tell he has this specific way of acting, which is not bad, but I want to see him expand a little more from the usual.

Now, I do wish the script had more dialogue between characters. Watching the movie felt as if the director was letting the scene speak for itself, but I needed some more dialogue to fill some gaps.

~Pacing, Editing, and Direction:
Like I said earlier: this is a classic. The vision was there and the director and screenwriters were able to tell a visual story that was cohesive and nicely flowed. All the classic element of BL are here for you to enjoy.

Sis, this show has everything: Love, hate, highschoolers, school drama, conservative families, ass grabbing, truths, lies, and so much more for your enjoyment. I totally recommend this over the drama because that one was absolute garbage of a production.
