Drama with Trigger warnings ⚠️
It is a boss- employee romance.But let me warn you for the process of romance development.
The mafia boss, Kinn was already feeling something for his bodyguard, Porsche and so when one day his bodyguard gets kidnapped and he finds him at an unconscious state(he was drugged) with bite marks all over his body(attempt of rape) while trying to take care of him, he gets uncontrollable and fucks him, well RAPE him.
And their love develops from this point.
I mean, are you kidding me?! How can some one fall in love with their rapist???? And how can it be normal?
Oh oh moreover, at this point of time Porsche was straight and Kinn was gay. ?
On kinn's defence ( well this is from the book, I dont remember the drama scene), kinn asked for poreche's consent for sex. Well he asked for consent from a drugged person and that's supposed to make sense?
And he also apologised after the incident, which made it all better????
This is not the only scene that calls for trigger warning but the whole show is filled with it.
• Vegas- Pete relationship could have been portrayed normally but who wants it to be sober?
What was their relationship? Was it Stockholm syndrome or Lima syndrome?
• so Kinn and Porsche are step cousins
Well the fans of 'Clueless' movie will love it ?
And there are many more......
I watched the drama 1st and then read the book, the book is worse. English translated book 1 is what I read, and almost every sex between Kinn and Porsche was forced. Kinn forcing Porsche, and it is supposed to be romantic?!

Bad ending
This is a story of a prosecutor who comes back to life to finish a case.First I was not that interested in this drama but after seeing few episodes I was hooked and wanted to see how the case would unravel and how will he win it in this life. The build up was good but the last episode was poorly crafted.
It started off pretty good and was going on well with the suspence and everything but the ending was to bad.
Not well defined.
Even the couple was suddenly sprung upon us.
Ending was really poor.

Better than many
It is a light, fluffy rom-com, anyone will enjoy.Just wanted to point out my discontentment with this drama:
1. How can you kiss a drunk, unconscious person when you are fully sober.
Consent violation is not acceptable and moreover it was completely unnecessary to put a scene like this.
I really want directors to understand, scenes can be romantic even without violating someone's rights.
2. I really really wanted kot and ji to end up together ( my execptions ruined it for me?♀️)

Children of two rival families fall for each other, and this storyline got me all interested in watching the drama.
Though they were rivals, we come to know mid series that the girl had a childhood crush on the boy. It is a beautifully crafted concept but lacks a bit of engaging quality. I tended to skip parts because it was quite long and boring.
Character development of the lead couple was good but other characters were so so. Side characters were somewhat bizzare. Only supporting character I found normal was win's ex girlfriend.
I would have given it a 5 rating but according to thai dramas it was good so gave a high rating.

Liked it but....
Both the main lead couple and second lead couple have a very immature relationship. Yi and lian both don't know how to respect their partner's boundaries. Both the couples are always hiding things from each other, it was quite frustrating to watch. Kuea and Diao's docile behaviour was also very irritating and unnatural. And was thinking of giving it a 4 rating.Chemistry between the couple was good and that's why I am giving it a 8.5 rating and that's also one of the reason I could finish the series. Another reason is it's glamorous cinematography.
Storyline was good so it could have been better directed.
The series talk about gay marriage not being accepted by thai laws, and sends a strong message through the couple that all love has the equal right to dignity and freedom. This was my 1st bl drama where I came to know, like many societies, homosexuality is also not accepted in Thailand. As there are so many thai bl series, previously I used to think they have a very progressive society but later on I came to know that in award ceremonies, the gay couples are nominated under imaginary couple award, which is very disturbing as they are very much real couples.

Good storyline
Few things I want to point out:1. I started watching it because of its interesting storyline
2. The most disturbing thing I found is, male lead has a phobia for snakes and the female lead uses this to make him weak and vulnerable, not once but multiple times
What was more problematic is that, the serial portrays it as something funny. This is absolutely unacceptable, people should know making fun or taking advantage of a person's weak point is wrong and not at all humorous.
3. Too much slow paced and it became really boring, I had to skip parts alot.
4. Villains in the drama are really confusing and disturbing.
5. Did not feel connected with the romance development of the leads.
Honestly half of the things did not make sense

Light and enjoyable
It is a boss and secretary romance with a male lead tragic past which is also not very major. So the plot is really basic and has very little content.The male lead at first is very confusing and somewhat irritating but later on everything becomes alright.
According to thai dramas, all the aspects were similar, like, the acting was alright ( could be improved ). But what I liked is unlike many popular thai dramas, this drama has not portrayed consent violation as romantic. Moreover, I have not found any consent violation in the drama (point it out to me if I am wrong coz' its really important)
The story is really light, so basically gets a bit boring which calls for a very average rating, still I rated it high enough due to the normalcy found in between the couple unlike most thai dramas I watched, where there is rampant consent violation, stalking and alike being presented as romantic or 'normal'.
