I Needed Oxygen to Stay Awake
Well this was a very big, boring disappointment. I actually read the novel that this BL was based on. While the novel itself wasn’t hugely exciting, it was cute and heartwarming. You saw why Solo was attracted to someone like Guitar. He brought light and smile to his life. They really needed each other. I don’t think that the drama conveyed the novel in the same way. It was just very boring and hard for me to even finish. The acting was stilted and the actors did not fit the characters from the novel. They didn’t fit them looks or even in characteristics. And how they portrayed them in the drama was not how they were in the book. They just ended up being very unremarkable, like how did this even get made?! Whether you read the novel or not, going into this you have some expectations of what a BL drama should and can be. Sometimes you can give up a little bit of the acting for newcomers if the story is interesting or the actor has charisma to lend to their character. But none of this was the case with this drama. I will very much forget it after today and I will probably never think about it again. I might read the novel sometime in the future if I have nothing else to read.
Also, can I just say that Thai dramas have some of the worst music of any BLs out there. I know it’s a preference, but I really don’t care for Thai pop music at all. I don’t like the sound of it and I don’t like the singing, it just really sounds terrible to me. But to make things worse this drama had weird moments where you just had harp music. And this wasn’t as a joke, it was serious. But it was a very odd choice and really would ruin the mood for me many times throughout the series
