Greatly overlooked.

I would say this is a hidden gem. Sure it had its flaws, and the plot wasn't anything new, but it was charming and dealt well with those typical BL tropes we're all tired of seeing. Although the budget was low, this was better than many of the high-budget BL's. The acting wasn't bad or cringey. The actors seemed comfortable with each other. Gawin and Cho had great chemistry. Their kiss was one of the best I've seen in a while, at least in a Thai BL. I didn't understand Cho's mom. It was fine that her son had a boyfriend, but if it were anyone else, it wouldn't be fine? Huh?

Tin and Toss were also cute. I always love seeing couples in BL's who have or take care of a child together. It was just adorable. I can't say that their kisses were that great, though. Anyway, I loved Tin's talk with his friend. He definitely needed the support, and his friend provided him with that. His friend explained it very well in a non-offensive way. He spoke incredibly wisely. Most of the time in these BL's, if you ask a supposedly straight guy what he thinks of two guys being together, he'll either be disgusted or say he doesn't care. Tin's friend gave him actual advice. It was lovely to see. Toss was a bit pushy with Tin sometimes. He stood his ground when his awful "wife" came back, though. He told her outright that he was in love with Tin and made sure Tin also knew that.

In general, most of the problems that arose were quickly dealt with and weren't too bothersome. Both San and Vee accepted defeat and didn't get too much in between Cho and Gawin. One thing that really bothered me was the stereotypical predatory gay character. I'm so tired of their presence in pretty much every Thai BL ever. It's not funny. It's harassment.
