Flower boy: A poorly thought out story
The concept of flower boy was quite promising. I was greatly intrigued by the plot and posters before I decided to give it a try. From the very first episode, I realised that not much thought out writing went into this.
The story reads like a first draft with space for tons of improvement. The villain story was too weak, the main leads together did absolutely nothing.
It doesn't really make sense why gaysorn immediately started releasing his fragrance the moment he saw Scent because how was he in love the moment he first laid his eyes on Scent? Also, how did you let the heir of your tribe just leave for the city with a strange man? The very strange man you were suspicious from the beginning, at that. Scent's ex—whys he helping gaysorn out for no reason whatsoever? Gaysorn also seems to adapt living in the city way too fast for my liking. These are few of the reasons why I think the writers didn't really spend much time editing this one.
The fact that the whole series is just 8 eps long doesn't work in their favour either, however, many 8 eps series have performed really great so I wouldn't really blame the poor writing on less showtime.
Overall, I feel like I wasted my time watching this. I don't recommend unless you like the couple or just prefer mindless series to watch in your free time.
