Acting is very spotty. Kim's actor is above average imo, but I'm just not feeling Kamol. Kim's colleagues and parents are suitable for the roles. Cherry needs more depth, but she has a potential. Everyone else is underwhelming.
The script is good enough? Like the overall plot line is fine and words they say aren't too out of place. Some things could be explained better, some need more time imo, but overall, it's kinda average BL script in terms of quality.
Now, the big boy. Directing. It feels very choppy. Like scenes feel randomly put together, those slow motions look like someone just spaced out while holding a camera, the composition looks weird to me more often than not... I would expect something like this in a very cheap movie. I guess my expectations were just through the roof on this one.
To end on positive note, Kim is very much beautiful. Cute. Adorable. Decently portrayed. I'll only tune in to second episode for him. He deserves better 💜
Two minutes in, and it already feels "bad". I'm not sure what the main problem is, but it has this "low budget" feeling, without actually looking that cheap. I think it's mostly directing. It just looks too rigid and random. Unnatural. Choppy. Without flair. The trailer was on whole another level imo.
Who gets a boyfriend he truly loves without clearing the air with the other people he's involved with?! That's just asking for a dramatic mess 🙄
Wait. They were romantically involved? That's even worse! Poor Kim 💔
And he knows his new piece?! You're an angel, Kim! I would have hit him, at the very least 😡
So were they, or were they not involved with each other? Either way, the random guy messed up.
Guess I'll have to readjust my expectations about this drama from now on.
Why are the girls way better actors than the guys? I almost enjoyed that scene with uncle hitting on Kim!
Kim's parents are also pretty good. And nice characters, so far.
Wait. Now I'm even more confused. So they weren't actively together, and Kim has just been pining for him/not over him? Do they even have a history?
He really is the cutest! 🥰 Also, love them non-homophobic parents. That's rare in thai BLs.
At least Kamol's making it pretty clear to Cherry that he isn't interested.
Dramatic faucet finally made an appearance! Considering the rest of this directing, it's actually not that out of place 🤣
That at the bar was a fake kiss, if I ever saw one. But whatever.
I get that this is their idea of consent, but he IS visibly drunk. He might know what he's doing, he might not regret it tomorrow, but he's very much not sober. I will leave the morality of it for everyone to decide for themselves. Me, personally, I would not sleep with a guy in that state (especially if I'm aware of the possible implications on consent)
Kim's actor is fairly good. Kamol, on the other hand... he has one face expression and I don't even know what it's meant to represent. Boredom? Apathy? Cruelty? Plastic surgery gone wrong? To me, it looks like deformed potato imitation.
You could really put two hands inside that cuff! 😆 I'm all for freedom and safety, but this seems kinda void of purpose? Especially for someone who's meant to be experienced in that kind of stuff!!
What the heck?! Kamol's face is legit funny during the deed 🤣🤣🤣 But it also means zero chemistry for this pairing so far.
Bless the product placement! Finally something that makes sense.
He's shown more emotion to that face cream than to Kim 🙃
Looks like he wasn't as 'not drunk' as he'd said! Who would have thought?! 🙄
The food doesn't look so well in this mafia house. Have they fallen on hard times?
12/10 security, but we're already used to that 🙂
So you weren't drunk. Sure, Jen. Whatever.
I won't comment on that pantip search. It reminded me of "The Right One", and that's always a good thing 💙
I believe not watching the preview will be better.
"Rit's lovers"Rit has no canon lovers, that's the problem 🖤 The main cast wouldn't be really that much affected…
I think from Tin's pov, it was more about a principle and wanting Tol to do the right thing (+ saving Rit so he doesn't have to worry about it), than it was about Tin genuinely caring for Rit the person so much. I mean, they barely know each other. And if push came to shove, between the two of them, I'm sure Tin would be on Tol's side.
As for Sing, I'm not sure yet. I think Sing cares the most for his job and the dr. Sak stuff. Then it's kinda a mash up between Rit and Gap. If I'm being totally honest, I think Sing considers Rit sort of his younger brother/junior. He's protective of him, and assuming some responsibility for what's happening. But besides that, he might not feel that strongly about Rit, either (it's hard to say with Sing, since he doesn't talk about nor shows his feelings).
On the other hand, I feel like Rit really depends on Sing, and might even genuinely like like him! Sing's usually (always?) present when Rit learns the bad news. And Tin, in all his "zero planning" attitude, told Rit that Sing's basically always mentioning him, wondering what Rit's doing, being worried about Rit's health, even sending his friend (Tin) to Rit's house to bring him sweets and check on him!
Not gonna lie, if I were Rit, I would think there might be a chance Sing's crushing! 😄
"Rit's lovers"Rit has no canon lovers, that's the problem 🖤 The main cast wouldn't be really that much affected…
Priority, as in the first. Tin has already put him aside few times to chase after Tol / not focusing on Rit.
With Sing, it's a bit better, but to me it still doesn't feel like he's really there for him. More like he feels responsible, but he also has other stuff to care about and Rit just isn't high enough on the emergency ladder.
Good example of this is when they told Rit about the missing kidney. Rit was visibly shaken and ran away, but no one actually followed him or made sure he's coping (Sing tried, but Gap stopped him). Remember, Rit has a history of mental illness. He can be suicidal. He considering becoming a pro football player, which will probably be way harder now he has only one kidney. And they just let him go?! That's irresponsible in my opinion. But they had bigger fish to fry, so... He comes second. Or third, if he even makes the list 😥
I know Rit's lovers would kill me for this but I kinda want to know how things would be if they didn’t save…
"Rit's lovers"
Rit has no canon lovers, that's the problem 🖤 The main cast wouldn't be really that much affected if he died imo. I don't think even Tol would care as much, and in case he did, they would probably just use it to push TinTol further. The organ traficking angle may work either way, since they already have some proof of it.
That's why I feel so sorry for Rit. He really got the short end of the stick. Aside from his mother and (maybe) Art, no one puts him first. He's no one's priority 😔
I'm on Ep. 3. Could someone please tell me when Toh stops being so creepy and/or when he acquires a few more brain…
" when Toh stops being so creepy" For me, the episode when they go on the camping trip/one after that (around episode 7?). You'll not only see more into Toh, you will also get Nuea's perspective, which helps.
"when he acquires a few more brain cells" Not really happening during the show in my opinion.
"He is too much for me" If he's too uncomfortable right now and there's nothing else about the show you particularly enjoy, I think it won't get that much better for you. Yes, Toh gets more of a personality, but his behaviour and actions don't change. Side characters will get more screentime and interesting conflicts, and Nuea will also get more depth. But that might not be enough to offset your negative feelings forToh.

And the school stuff to clear up, so he has more opportunities in the future.
Ideally, I want him to get a boyfriend 💙
But even close-knit friend group might be enough.

Honestly? Yes, I do. A big part of CP fandom is delulu as all hell imo.
"See I didn’t ask to bully u 😌🙃"
I see. So you just wanted to hurt me, plain and simple 😥
People that watch CP just don't generally have good analytical skills 🙃
It's great! But I'm fairly sure we can go even higher than that 😄

Surprisingly, I got the "INTJ" combination only 2 times. I got "INFJ" thrice, and also "INTP" 3 times. I got both "ISTJ" and "ISFJ" exactly once 🙂
Turns out, free online tests are surprisingly unreliable with high variance 🙄 /s
I'll do one more a bit later and then report my findings to you 💙
For me, the episode when they go on the camping trip/one after that (around episode 7?). You'll not only see more into Toh, you will also get Nuea's perspective, which helps.
"when he acquires a few more brain cells"
Not really happening during the show in my opinion.
"He is too much for me"
If he's too uncomfortable right now and there's nothing else about the show you particularly enjoy, I think it won't get that much better for you. Yes, Toh gets more of a personality, but his behaviour and actions don't change. Side characters will get more screentime and interesting conflicts, and Nuea will also get more depth. But that might not be enough to offset your negative feelings forToh.
