Two for the price of one

When this show came on my radar, I was just excited for the racing component. Granted, that ended up really not being a heavy part of the storyline, it was still an enjoyable element.

Each of the couples have episodes dedicated to them, and to be perfectly honest, I struggled at first with Rain. He struck me as an annoying younger brother. For a lot of it I felt an urge to smack my forehead, but he started to grow on me after a few episodes, so I was glad I stuck it out. There were components until the last portion of their story where I also really appreciated that the "drama" felt like authentic things (related to education, for example) as opposed to something over-the-top. Of course, we ended up getting something like that, but I almost pretend that part didn't exist and just had the wholesome story. Well, wholesome to an extent. The praise kink was next level for Rain/Payu. Whew.

Sky made the show for me. I thoroughly enjoyed his banter and armor. There is always a character with some layers of trauma, and while it again felt over-the-top because this is a drama, I appreciated that they didn't just shove it entirely to the side. Could it have been handled better? Sure, but compared to how I've seen things handled in dramas, it was not bad. Prapai was a wonderful partner and the way he provided reassurance was, imho, very healthy and loving.

The intimacy in the series was top notch. Each couple felt believable in their connections with each other (simple intimacy and otherwise).

I think my biggest gripe is how it ended. It felt incredibly rushed and like an oreo where they forgot the stuffing. I'm hoping the special episode makes up for the rush job, but regardless it was a lot of fun.
