I love the story, the chemistry between the lead and the queer director behind the series
I love almost everything about the series.I love the chemistry between Pond and Phuwin, I never watched them anywhere before, but after watching this I went to see their previous series FUTS and that was hilarious.
I love the BGM. (except the cowboy song in the make out session, that was strange)
I love the fact this was Jojo's first Y series. And he was the biggest Pond and Phuwin's fanboy behind the scene.
I don't understand the moaning and whining that the side couple didn't get enough screen time, since it is always like that. And the side couple will have their own series soon. I hope they will have some workshop to increase the chemistry, because rn what I see is just bromance. (Perth did say that he won't do another BL and now he came back biting his own words. I loved him in BLC with Saint, but I also hated the mess his manager and his fans did to Saint. They really did Saint dirty, almost ruining the boy's career, but good thing he came back strong). Perth can act, that is a yes, but no, he did not carry the show. I wouldn't be glued to my screen for 12 episodes and became a new fan of the two main leads if Perth is the one who carry the show.
I also love all the senior actors in the series, Organ and Nat, wow!!!
I understand Palm's struggle, the body and mind metaphor Nueng Diao talked about in the car. But both have very little self esteem in a different way, both didn't believe that they deserved to be loved. Nueng with his isolation due to his status, Palm from the abandonment issue both from his father and mother. People said Palm is so passive, but that was deeply embeded, he internalized everything. He did not say much, but he remembers. You can see the example all over the series (Kit told him in early episode that he was like Tanya's charity project and when Chopper in the last episode told him he will pay for the hospital bill, he told Chopper he doesn;t want to be their charity project). Another one fromm ep 1 ND asked him if he can actually take care of a rich boy like him, a guy from small fishing village. Palm mentioned this again in ep. 12. Still holding a grudge. This guy never forget all the bad words thrown at him. He just keep it inside. The character development is there, if you failed to see it. It is on your own. I myself, really love the series. I am now a fan of both Pond and Phuwin. They're hilarious on twitter as well. I have been Jojo's fans since 3 Will be Free. Now I am waiting for his gay mess on Only Friends.
Thanks Jojo for great drama, and thanks Pond Phuwin for great performance!
