Wild Ride for a GMMTV Drama
Holy shit! I don't usually write reviews, but this show has got to be the messiest show I've ever seen. The more vou watch, the more vou understand the title of it.Firstly, this is not for people looking for a typical 'romance' kind of drama. If you want your mouth wide open in every episode, crave intrigue, enjoy polyamorous relationships, and are into the shameless scenes this show is going to be top-tier for you. It offers adult content, opposites attract scenarios, and a complex narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
One downside is watching Sand suffer for a dickhead junkie Ray for a long time, take care of him, always be there for him but still ended up getting played 💀💀💀. It's frustrating, but it adds to the emotional depth of the story.
The acting was phenomenal, especially for a Thai BL drama. Not a single actor was lacking in their performance. First and Khaotung, in particular, absolutely nailed their roles. Their portrayals were convincing and engaging that they elevated the entire show.
If you're up for a wild, intense ride that breaks away from conventional romance tropes, this drama is a must-watch.

Queer Representation Done Right
Nam Yoon Su’s acting was absolutely jaw-dropping; he portrayed Go Young’s character perfectly. The drama was extremely realistic from beginning to end. It shows how a group of queer youth in their early twenties live their lives. Moreover, Mi Ae and Go Young’s bittersweet friendship, which is at times funny and at times touching, made the drama even more enjoyable to watch. I literally cried for their friendship.I would like to add that if you’re starting this expecting a typical BL series, I would advise against it. Most BL dramas focus on the love between two men, but this drama is more about how real queer people live their lives, and if you’re not queer yourself, it might be hard for you to fully understand or relate to it.
Each episode carries its own emotions and lessons, offering something for everyone to connect with. It’s a perfect queer drama that shows love isn’t always rosy like in the movies.
Overall 10/10
