One of the BLs I was looking forward to this year due to the Omegaverse concept in Thai BL, but disappointingly, it was a waste. The first two episodes were strong and intriguing. However, the plot and pacing felt so awkward and pale later on. Most of the scenes were really nothing but moments to prolong the episodes' duration. The restaurant had no customers except the Devathitirat family, apart from one or two frames. It was shocking to understand or even accept how Phatsa had no freaking idea about the ABO world while everyone else happened to. It made no sense how Phatsa's father suddenly showed up, and his story about leaving his own kid because of his wife's death was freaking absurd.
Apart from all this, I loved how the actors gave it their best despite this insane plot. Everyone did amazingly—Oat delivered an emotional vulnerability and flexibility that made his Omega role shine very well. Boat was groundedly pleasant too. But I wasn't interested in their pairing in this story; their horniness just wore off the chemistry for me.
More than anyone, I enjoyed Ongsa's presence. His and Nakhin's chemistry is just full of cutesy vibes. Nakhin is such a sweetheart. Now, I want to see more of ThemeThee in many series.
Sangnuea didn't interest me; his character gave me the ick from the very start. Yet, the Naphitch lore invested me. It was sad that Naphitch was betrayed; I would have loved a soft love story between them.
Maybe I was wrong, but I thought this series also had a GL pair that would end up together. Anyway, I was glad they didn't make another dominant/submissive dynamic in the yuri trope.
Although it was weird that the beautiful Khamphirada [Nakhun's mother] waited until the final episodes to express her feelings and support Naphitch as her own son. The divorce was out of nowhere, too. We could have had some scenes where we see her losing it with her husband's selfishness. Talking about Nakhun's father—it's funny how if he loved a Beta, why did he treat Naphitch so badly, yet obsess over the need for a pure Omega for the birth of an Enigma? Whatever. I guess, I just lost interest at one point due to the very awkward pacing of the series.
The main and perhaps the only thing I appreciated seeing in this series is how it highlights that regardless of whether one is an Alpha, Omega, or Beta—all are human beings and deserve love equally. I was happy to see Betas' existence in the ABO world, showcasing Beta/Omega and Alpha/Beta dynamics.
