First Impression 1/12
First Kanaphan and Khaotung Thanawat, what the fuck can I even say? Seeing them together again felt like a homecoming. The moment they appeared on my screen I couldn’t help but scream. They have this unparalleled chemistry that no one else in the industry quite achieves. I missed them so much and they absolutely delivered. Watching them reunite reminded me of why they have become icons in the BL world. My kings are back hehe.
First really balances his rough, edgy exterior with just the right amount of vulnerability and Khao as Bison is HOLY HELL, he nails it. His portrayal is soft but with a charm that makes you understand why Kant couldn’t resist him the first moment he laid eyes on him lmao. Bison gives me mystery and innocence vibes and it’s all because Khaotung knows how to work the smallest expressions, the subtlest body language, to make him (and us) obsessed with him.
PLUS their chemistry is beyond words, I deadass think they have this almost telepathic way of syncing with each other and it’s a joy to watch. Also GMMTV is known for keeping things fairly tame but Jojo decided to break that mold (as he should) because the sex scenes are unapologetically steamy and while it’s bold, it’s not gratuitous, it feels organic and I love it tbh.
But I won’t lie, I went in expecting something darker, more brooding with a heavy focus on crime but the series leans much more on the lighter side. However I don’t even mind. The romance is well done and that is enough to keep me intrigued but I do hope they explore more of the crime angle as the episodes go on, but for now, I’m happy to sit back and watch First trying to woooo Khao lmao.
On the side, I will say I'm not very familar with JoongDunk but their storyline definitely has potential. There is something interesting about their dynamic and I’ll hold off on fully forming an opinion until I see how it plays out in the later episodes.
