Not the best drama, but still good
I'm not even gonna lie, this drama was EXTREMELY successful at making me experience the deepest second-hand embarrassment imaginable.
This review is probably going to sound ridiculous because I'm basically about to criticize the very essence of Thai drama humor... but seriously, it gets me every single time. So, I decided to make a little ranking of the moments that made me physically cringe...
The "DUUUAAANNNGGG" in the opening song. Which, by the way, is a perfect representation of Duang himself. Please. Shut up.
The whole "num num good boy" scene... I was fighting for my life. And honestly, feeding someone isn't even that cute to me in the first place, so when you start making airplane noises and singing on top of it... absolutely not.
Duang suddenly switching to that "cutesy voice" of his and referring to himself in the third person.... Even the way he'd get all excited whenever he got closer to Quin in the first few episodes... sir, compose yourself.
Jamie and Marvis constantly switching between Thai and English.
During the first episodes, Duang's friends (and honestly Quin's friends too) being present every single time he desperately tried to flirt with Quin. Their presence was neither wanted nor needed.
The Gucci slides. (This is just a personal remark.) Why?
Duang literally acting like a dog, panting and barking to show affection. STOP THAT.
There were honestly plenty of other moments that managed to make me curl up from embarrassment, but I've decided to keep them to myself because, in reality, this BL is undeniably good.
Duang is obviously someone who knows exactly how to express and declare his love. But what impressed me even more throughout the series was how much of a driving force he becomes in Quin's personal growth.
I absolutely loved Quin's development, and Por portrayed it beautifully. His character evolves so naturally and progressively. Watching Quin slowly let his guard down, accept his feelings, and finally come to terms with his past was genuinely touching. I honestly wasn't expecting that level of emotional depth.
I also have to mention how beautifully Duang and Quin's growing intimacy is filmed. I genuinely forgot how to breathe during Episode 6. Since the drama is generally lighthearted and playful, I wasn't expecting the intimate scenes to hit that hard emotionally. So THANK YOU for that.
Those scenes genuinely gave me butterflies. You can feel every ounce of the tension, tenderness, and love between them, and it was refreshing to see something so emotionally sincere in a drama that usually doesn't take itself too seriously.
In the end, I think this is truly a feel-good drama. Beyond all the cringe moments (which, honestly, end up becoming part of the show charm) you just have a really good time watching it. It's nice to watch two emotionally healthy people passionately fall in love.
