I knew going into the show that this was different from the movie, so I approached it like a completely different entity all to itself.

The acting was alright. I am watching My Engineer and Cooper hasn't changed much with how he plays "cocky". I enjoy him though. He's cute.

Guide was also enjoyable as Bank. He really reminds me of Mild Suttinut Uengtrakul for some reason and I need them to play real brothers now.

But the story was so disjointed and incomplete. I needed a lot of work. Someone should have fleshed out the storyboards and scripts better before going into production. We never got the story of why they broke up in the first place (the description says homophobic dad, but dad seems supportive of Jackson/Bank, and Bank seems to say at some point that he wasn't prejudiced or something about "those weren't your feelings (or thoughts or something)"), and why it won't be a problem this time around. Bank never broke up with Jackson. I liked the school teacher as a character, but that whole arc was so unnecessary. What purpose did Tom/Bank or the teacher's arc serve to the story? Nothing. This show could have had potential but it was just really badly written and executed. If you go to AO3, I can show you a 1000+ better step-brother turned lover plots that could last 13 episodes.

To Summarize: Acting was ok, Story was badly written and executed, Music was forgettable, I wouldn't rewatch it, but I would still recommend a Thai BL lover watch it because there aren't that many shows (less than 100, which means there are *less than* 2000 episodes, which if you watch 5.5 episodes a day you can complete in one year).
