The cast is amazing!

I've just finished the series and, even though it is clearly not the best BL out there, it was really enjoyable to watch.

I'm going to start talking about the cast because it is the best thing from this series.
First of all, I know all of the actors!! They all have played a role in a BL series and I couldn't stop saying every time a new actor appeared on screen: "Oh! I know him/her!". I was quite happy to see them again in this series but, at the same time, it was really weird to see so many familiar faces in just one drama. It's like the cast directors have watched all the BL series from those actors (which I'm sure they have) and made a list with the actors they wanted to cast. I was especially surprised with Mild and Bruce!! Second of all, all of the actors are excellent in their roles. Of course, as a fan of Singto, I already knew his talent in acting but I really liked the acting of the supporting cast as well. Especially Yoon and Yatch. I've known Yatch since Love by Chance and I've seen him in several BL after that but I've never seen him play a serious character before (if so, it didn't leave a mark on me). He was always the goofy and funny friend of one of the main characters (and he was good at it!) but this is the first time that I was able to see how good he is at acting. Even though he didn't have much screen time, it was enough for me to notice that he was a talented actor and I hope to see him in a drama again very soon. As for Yoon, I never really liked the series that I've watched with him so I couldn't really appreciate his acting (YYY was the first series that I've watched with him and I hated it, it was so ridiculous...). But this drama has shown me a different side of Yoon's acting that I really liked and I hope to see him again in another (good) drama in which I can see and appreciate his acting.

Now, moving on to the storyline... It was quite simple and quite enjoyable as a whole but there were elements in the plot that I didn't quite like. I'm going to start with the jealousy thing (if you don't want to be spoiled, you should stop reading now). I don't understand why Tharn and Phap were jealous. Tharn is supposed to be friends with Maze and Nueng for a very long time (from his college days if I remember correctly). Didn't he know that Maze and Nueng were siblings? Really? Even Nae seemed to not know their real relationship, which is really surprising because they seem to be friends for a very long time. Weird that Maze never made it clear with them that Nueng was his step-brother. Also, Phap knew about it!!! I don't remember the episode but when he went to Phuket with Maze for the first time, they went to visit an old lady that showed him some photos of him and Nueng and she explicitly said that they were step-brothers. He even said to Maze that he thought Nueng was an en-lover after that and Maze called him crazy. So why is he jealous? I know that, sometimes, I even believed that there was more than just a brother's love but he should be acting like that. Then, there was the back and forth from Phap again. Every time he was jealous, he was sulking and taking his distance from Maze but, the next scene, he was all smiley again and going back to Maze as if nothing ever happened. It was really disturbing to be honest and that happened a few times, not only once! Every time Nueng made an appearance actually... To finish (and someone has already pointed it out), they introduced a scene in which Phap hurt himself saving Nueng gfrom drowning. I thought they were going to develop this injury to be a serious one (a broken rib, for example) that maybe led him to the hospital and Maze would have been worried about him but... nothing!!! Absolutely nothing. They never develop this plotline, they did nothing with it and I was really disappointed that there was no end to it (and I know I'm not alone).

As a whole, apart from the few elements that I didn't like, it was still a good series to watch. Will I rewatch it? Probably not, but it didn't get bored or I wasn't upset watching it so that's good!
