Sign me Up for the Mafia!

So far the very few action BL‘s that I have watched have been pretty tragic or even boring, just overall unsatisfying even if the acting was good, and far from riveting. So I went in with expectations hopeful, but overall realistic. The two leads are to plainly put it… Hot. The sexiness is probably the most charismatic, full of chemistry couple I have ever seen in BL since Tharntype. But they have officially beat that couple. If I were to compare this couple as far as being Starcrossed lovers, or a duo whose names will be synonymous with one another, would be my favorite book BL couple from “Addicted Heroin”.

You just know that after that first episode their chemistry is just gonna continue to be off this charts. They’re acting as well as physical chemistry just really gelled for me. I have unfortunately seen a lot of subpar acting in BL‘s. But this one was worth the wait. I’m not sure if it’s because they had longer to rehearse and spend time together, or if they would be good actors in any other series. But they really impressed me on this one. Even the side actors were pretty good.

I would say that youngest brother Kim was probably the weakest actor out of the brothers. You can tell that he was just there for eye candy. Also I thought that his plot really ended up not going anywhere. Throughout the whole series he seems to be trying to find dirt on his family, or the minor family, possibly even Porsche’s family. But the story ends up not going anywhere and leaves you wondering what the point of it was. I guess to give him air time? To make him relevant as a romantic side couple? Even younger brother Porchay had more relevance!

I also thought in the last two episodes I was all of a sudden in a Lakorn! It got a bit melodramatic and didn’t really seem to fit the whole rest of the action love story theme. Without giving any surprises away (though it wasn’t that much of a surprise), it seemed more like a “gotcha” moment that they wanted to try to surprise people with. I also felt like there was something not quite right with how they tried to end the surprise. It didn’t really seem to make sense and I still doubted what the characters were telling was the truth. I don’t know if that was to try to set up for a second season or not? But I feel like the season ended well and really a follow up would be pointless.

A minor sidenote is the music. I normally hate Thai music. And I’m sorry to offend anyone out there who is Thai, or who loves that music, but out of all the Lakorns I’ve watched and BL‘s I’ve lot watched I have never been a fan of the music. I think most of it ends up sounding the same and sounds pretty corny, to tell the truth. And I love pop music, especially K-pop! But there’s just something about Thai pop music, and in these dramas the music they use, that I just can’t stand. However, I really did like the intro and Outro song of the series. It was very different from what I’m used to hearing. It was actually quite catchy and I liked the rock element of it. Even the slower song that they ended up singing I thought it was very well done.

Overall I would have to say that this BL is in my top five, no I would say even top three, BL‘s ever. As far as including books and TV series I would say it’s in my top five for favorite couples. You’re not going to get much in the way of social issues or heavy emotional plot, but you’re going to get tons of chemistry and love which I think a lot of us are in it for.
