Just finished this. It's a fantastic BL - definitely one of the best ever made. I think everyone agrees the story…
Thank you for taking the time to write such a well constructed comment. I agree with all of your points - it seems to me that most of the criticism around Namping and Keng's characters is due to the unconventional personalities which aren't usually portrayed in typical BLs. It saddens me to see people automatically equating a calm and virtuous character such as Khem to being boring and flavourless.
Also, I agree that the idea of Namping being a bad actor is absurd. His ability to capture the personality of Jet when they were on the bridge was phenomenal, and the subtle shift at the end when he was a father was small but impactful.
I've seen the most outrageous reviews on this series like you described, comments about poor acting and having a weak script or being too long and drawn out. It's crazy to me how some people can come to these conclusions. To me, everyone gave such compelling performances, especially the actress playing Ramphueng. From a pacing perspective, there was a perfect balance between smatterings of comedy, the slowly developing relationship as Peem began soften and open up more to Khem, the intimacy which played a vital role in the progression, and yet the focus of the plot never seemed to take the sideline either.
I am in Ep 6 now. And i can't understand the problem anymore. I love the main couple so much. It is sooo intrueging…
i totally get you!! Im confused with all these comments saying this series is bad and cringe because I'm just here absolutely loving it. Po and Sasom are so freaking cute together, especially when they are on their dates. People are dragging Po's actor and his expressions, but that's one of the things that makes me more attached to his character. Glad to know I'm not the only one enjoying this show
Despite all the negative comments, I find myself oddly attached to Po and Sasom. They are a cute couple. I get annoyed when people say "there's not plot" because, I'm sorry, but these are romance shows. Most of the time, the plot literally is how the relationship develops into a deeper connection, and thats what I love about it. This show starts off hot with the NCs, but we see the subtle changes in the characters feelings from it being just physical to something stronger. This is something to turn off your brain to and just flow with the characters.
This was so fun thank you!!! Also you are CRUEL for making me pick between Wei Wei and Da On as the baby of the group T-T (Tankhun is always the weirdo, obviously)
I'm convinced many people here just simply can't appreciate mini kbls like this. They say they are "pointless" "without a plot" or "unnecessary" but these are love stories, therefore the plot is them...falling in love. They are slow, short and sweet, yet packed with silent emotions that are expertly portrayed even within the limited budget and time frame. These shows are created with the sole purpose of following the ups and downs of the characters, whether the debate of following their feelings or keeping them a secret in order to sustain the valuable connection they have with the other person. Maybe the shows use different love interests to make the leads realise their feelings and catalyse their confessions. It's about youth and purity and innocent people navigating through their feelings.
The literal point of these shows is to portray the relationships that develop between the characters, and if you need 4 random plot twists 11 betrayals and 6 deceptions to be entertained, than this style of drama is not for you.
the first couple in episode 1 and 2 now have their own series call The Nameless Season, 6 episodes on Youtubehttps://mydramalist.com/797144-the-nameless-season
