A toxic relationship worth the watch!

This a story of a stand in who was accustomed being a shadow of an actor until he met his love of his life who tore his peaceful life and made it chaotic as hell. Once a stand-in, always a stand-in.

• It was not all good and flawless but I liked the toxicity (iykyk) and pitiful character of Joe. He's the reason I stayed till the end. He deserved all the happiness yet he get to suffer more than anyone. He's literally the star of the show and all the other characters were a bit amateurish.

• Up and Poom's chemistry is to die for!!! You hate him in one episode and then on the other your brain somehow starts to sympathize, you hate it but can't help it. I wouldn't lie, my heart was played by Ming just like Joe's. It's time to accept we're all sadist in some kind of way.

• Notable things I liked- random blind yogi baba in a foggy forest drinking tea and doing nothing, Ming's assistant's oversized blazer, a thai gangster wearing turban?!? and rare outburst of Joe in just one episode.

Breaking down the nagatives:

-0.5 for all the hiccups in acting and action scenes which made me laugh and yes I skipped a few of them because they looked like kids fighting lol. I want perfection. Period.

-1 for Sol's existence and his awful idol performance. Wtf got him to Korea I wonder. He better improve his acting skills or say bye bye to showbiz industry

-0.5 for Ming who let Joe fall from the stairs while he was just standing like an idiot (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥)

After criticizing all these things I'll still say I liked it. Yes I'm a generous giver as this was a thai adaptation of danmei which we didn't lost to censored bromance, so I have give them a score they truly deserve!
