A Promising BL that Fails to Deliver

For a BL released in 2016 this was probably a fresh and exiting release, but as a recent viewer this show feels lackluster.
If you are a experienced BL viewer I would say skip this one. There is much better stuff out there.

At first this show peaked my interest because of the boxer, elephants camp, law student elements, for I had personally never seen this in a BL before. But fortunately most of these turn out to feature only in the background of the series,
The series itself very quickly falls into the same boring Thai BL traps such as ; collage roommates, sexual assault (which is poorly developed), jealousy, angry screaming parents and of course good-old kidnapping.

The production also leaves a lot of room for improvement. Like a lot of Thai BLs this show has bad audio/background music. Sometimes the music would change in the middle of scene, breaking any tension/momentum. Pacing is another major issue, many scenes go on for way too long, which consequentially makes the show feel awkward at times. And important dialogue scenes loose their climax and turn boring. Although the series was only 4 episodes long it felt like an eternity.
