More of this type of BL drama please!!!
My review is a personal opinion on this drama. It is not in any way shape or form meant to sway you into either watching it or avoiding it. Please make your own personal choice on whether to watch something or not. We are all individuals and have our own likes or dislikes.
I give this drama an 8.9 (thogh MDL only lets me pick wither 8.5 or 9.0...so I went for 9.0) (reason is as follows)...I got to say that Max and Tul did a better job here than in their previous works. I never really liked their other dramas. Anyways, they have improved immmensely, specially Max...that stare alone...gosh he does something to me, which is really interesting because I never cared for him before.
The story is pretty basic and formulaic, which isn't a bad thing at all if done properly. I loved the way it was told and though there was some plotholes here and there, it was enjoyable to watch. Can't denied that all of the actors had great chemistry with each other, not just Max-Tul.
My reason for the raiting is that most of the criminal justice proceedures were so badly done at times. GOSH...there was some things that made me shake my head...but again I'm sure this had more to do with the area the drama was located and the way that local police work, but it was just like...Come on Man, that's not how police proceedure works (even if you are in a different country, basic police investigative techniques are pretty much universal...)
Like no one bothered to do "latent searches" ??? on the rope, on the doors or even at Pued and the reporter's houses?
or having poor victim at the District Attorney's office to confront him about what he did to her and other young girls? No one would put a victim in the same vacinity as her abuser unless they were at trial and if she chose to take the stand...I was like...OMG that's traumatizing for her to be in front of someone so powerful who did so much to her and others. But again, this is a drama so I have to just take a step back and let it play out LOL.
It's obvious that the source material is going to lack a lot of the criminal justice perspective because the writer according to many comes from a medical background and not a police/dectective one, so I can forgive them for it.
I also didn't like that they didn't really wrap up the prostitution/trafficking/abortion arc of the story. I thought addressing this head on would have been a great opportunity to highlight the real problems that are happening not just there but in the world.
Lets talk about the CHEESY ending...sorry LOL...I'm just not a romantic person so the cheesiness was overkilled for me...from the surprise engagement to the cliff scene...BUTTTTTT, it was really fitting for them. So despite my dislike for it, I thought it worked for the story.
I do hope there is a special episode to see more of Aem/Oat and Sarawit and the other kid. I thought they were very cute.
Conclusion? I say watch it if you like mystery/crime dramas with a touch of BL. This was pretty decent and I can see myself watching it again. Minus the cheesy stuff... ^_^
