Decent idea and production values - everything else makes you want to have a refund of your time

Initially, I gave this a rating of 6.5 because I liked the idea of a BL set in a tailor shop (duh, men in suits) and for that, I was in forgiving mood. But later on I just had to drop the rating and even 5.5. feels a bit overrated.

The acting is clumsy expect for Tape who brings good comedic relief to the otherwise heavy-themed show about mental health issues and bad parenting. Also whoever plays Nawee's father deserves a shout-out because I'm in love with the man who gave me huge Mads Mikkelsen vibes. Hit me with the name if you have it, I promise I'll watch everything he's lent his charismatic face for. I don't have much to say about the script because it's nonexistent: boy meets boy, there's supposed to be some sparks and heat that is lukewarm at it's best. Throw jealousy into the mix in the last minute just for the drama because apparently mental healt issues aren't enough to chew on. There's some nice details worth paying attention to though, like costumes (once again, men in suits) and lighting but other than these, the show doesn't have much to offer. If you have something else to watch, I'd say skip this and use your time for something that actually has a plot and the acting doesn't make you uncomfortable . Naturally, this doesn't apply to Thailand's Mikkelsen. He's *chef's kiss*.
