As a binge watcher, when I first discovered My Engineer, I told myself to wait until it was finished. Then I figured watching a couple episodes wouldn't hurt. Then I found myself excitedly waiting for a new episode each week. It has it charms about it, and I'm so hyped for season 2. Also, all the couples got pretty much equal screen time which is unusual for BL's, and that made my heart really happy.
The acting in here is really good, and most of the characters are likable. The ending is satisfying while leaving plenty of room for character development, which I feel like season 2 is going to be jam packed with.
My little ship of RamxKing is my favorite and those two are really good actors. Their storyline was interesting and had substance, and their chemistry was great. Perth and Talay are wonderful in their roles, especially since Perth's character doesn't talk much, and he has to convey his emotions with his expressions. I'm definitely biased for this ship and they could probably do no wrong in my eyes, but I thought both of them did a wonderful job.
Bohn and Duen are that one couple that's going to annoy everyone. Most dramas have them. The drama is super dramatic (Surprise surprise) and the lack of skinship and actually acting like a couple makes it a little difficult to connect or like the couple. But they do struggle with real misunderstandings that new couples deal with so there's that. The fact that both of them are dealing with a real relationship for the first time made it easier to give them passes on certain things.
Mek and Boss are sweet, and a cute couple, but won't carry on into season two due to Mek's actor being fired. They are fun to watch though and super sweet.
Thara and Frong are the sweet weird ones, and I'm super ready to see them in the next season. Thara is such a strange nugget, but his character is lovable and caring. Frong deserves his happy ending after how he dealt with giving Duen up. I live for this series development and general lack and malicious revenge characters. There is one, but he has two very short scenes. Everybody's acting is on point, and I loved all the side characters to bits. It's such a light and wonderful series. This one is going to be a hit or miss for a lot of people, but definitely give it a try! It was a fun roller-coaster of emotions.
