I'm so lost even after rewatching eps 1-3 last night, but I'm pretty sure it's (mostly) me 🤣
I do think it's busy though - there's A LOT going on - and the main leads have weak to borderline nonexistent chemistry, possibly due to the story building around them being too busy for their chemistry to actually come across and be felt at the moment. Or maybe they just don't have chemistry at all. I'm not familiar with any of the actors or their previous work outside of this series so I don't know for certain either way. I just know that if it exists I haven't seen it (yet) and in contrast the other two guys had very noticeable chemistry in their first scene together, but they've also got far less drama going on so...
All this to say... I'll still be tuned in next Sat. 🫠
Barcode is actually really good here. I was not a fan of his work in KinnPorsche (sorry!) so I'm genuinely impressed to see him in this new and improved light.
Also - does anyone recall who Boss's character was in the OG pilot trailer?
This was the first thai bl I've ever watched love this thran and type all of them actually are so cute I love…
It was the 2nd one I watched but I agree with everything you said! I was annoyed by his hot headedness at first but after awhile I found it and him more endearing than not lol
The HIV bit was shocking but in good way so I was more than a little disappointing to see it get wrapped up and swept under the rug which such quickness. I think that storyline could've made for a really great subplot had it been given the time it deserved to be explored.
And am I nuts or were they totally paving the way for Pure/Waan in the beginning? I liked their friendship more but even that build up seemed to disappear in the latter half to where it felt like they were barely even friends at all!
So yeah... a directionless series of missed opportunities and poor executions this is.
Mild really dull as far ? He's cute I guess but doesn't really have much going for him in terms of character?…
I just can't with wallpaper-like characters fronting series - it's not enough to just be cute and that certainly shouldn't be the only thing you are! I can't root for that. It's lead character giving background character energy. He stays giving us nothing!
I'm with you on the friends and I too am fond of those tropes! Hopefully we see some progress with them. It's kinda sad yet also speaks volumes that all we've really seen them do together is eat and they're still a more intriguing duo than Knight/Mild 🤣
Is this a spinoff of another series or a pre-established universe? I get the sense I should already be familiar…
update: now that I've caught up to ep 6..
Knight and Mud(?) fighting has gotten old and that rape allegation was a weird pivot. So not the way to make the dull pair interesting! Surely it'll turn out to be some unfounded misunderstanding of epic proportions (right?!) but jokes on them because Knight comes across as a bit of a creep either way!
Meanwhile Mid Mild's personality is now giving me whiplash. I was taken aback when he told off Knight's FWB because it felt wildly out of character for him to do so. Like who inhabited his body in that moment and where was that energy and personality hiding?
Per/Kan are still hilarious and charming. They are definitely carrying this series.

In any case... Per/Kan > Knight/Mild
I only just finished episode 3 so it's still early enough for my mind to change but so far the Mild character (and Knight by extension) is fast-forward worthy dull. What does Knight even see in him?!
Per/Kan are hilarious though! They've single-handedly made these first few episodes worth watching for me. Heck, even Tim/Klah are more interesting than Knight/Mild and they've had little to no screen time!

So glad I stumbled upon it.
Hopefully a positive sign then.
