When everything is out of place, everything fits
Believe me when I say this series if one of the weirdest Thai BLs I’ve ever seen. The show starts off being a cringefest and… doesn’t get better. Instead, it doubles down, persisting with the shudderingly embarrassing scenes.
Every episode will give you second-hand embarrassment with its off-kilter humour and overly dramatic characters. (I really struggled to not fast-forward scenes that made me cringe.)
The biggest criticisms of the show end up being its biggest selling points: Ridiculous, off-kilter, outlandish. It will take some time to get used to Toh and his quirky outcast pals but here’s the thing. The show will grow on you.
The show may have been loaded with scenes right out of a BL textbook, but the execution was done just right. Toh and Nuea’s chemistry is FIRE. Nuea’s hunger for Toh is endless, and every time they kiss, his hands grip Toh like his life depends on it. This is exactly how kissing should be done.
SCOY’s stalker premise may sound super problematic, but the couples and friendships all featured critical aspects of a healthy relationship – respect, consent, acceptance and support. Sure, there might be plenty of weird and embarrassing scenes. But somehow, I got increasingly invested in the couples (between Nuea and Toh, and Sky and Jao) and was won over by the wholesome relationships.
