Long Live MingKit!!
I'm on a BL kick as of this last week and I am watching as much as I can. I've watched many...or really I'm a yaoi reader. But I decided to move from pen and paper to body and mouth (that sounds a bit salacious). <---There's always something dirty when you start talking about BL.
In any event. I really liked this series. It's not one I loved. I just liked it. I have to be honest I found it sloppy. The only couple I loved and I lived for and I'm glad I came when the show had finished airing (or I would be so upset)---so that I could skip over scenes (just for this couple)---was MingKit. OMG. MingKit saved the drama for me. They were the ONLY good actors on the drama. The only two that sold me on their romance. The only two that had any sort of REAL attraction that made sense to me. The ONLY two that had screen time with chemistry that didn't look FORCED or CHEESY!!
Yes, I said it. CHEESY. Most of the drama was reading like a High School teen romance that was utterly pathetic and two leads were killing me. I was watching them be themselves off camera and if TPTB had them come across like that off screen--then the drama would be completely different for me, I think. However, the flower scene (99 bouquet crap---CRAP) . The piano crap---crap. The bed scenes...the slave crap---the phone call while drunk crap---the ugh...it was all crap. I'm sorry it was crap.
The leads---God (Phan <--Character), he can't act. He was very stiff and it was hard for him to deliver his lines with emotion. I was confused by the character all the time because of the actor. No, it's not because the character himself is confused---the actor just can't portray a confused soul. Now Pin (Wayo <--Character) can act...but his sort of, "I have gas" expression was exhausting to me. I preferred when he smiled. I wanted more of that. There were moments where they were trying to have him share moments with Kreep (Forth <---Character). Forth was having moments of development---but then not really. I wasn't sure if he had graduated or if he was still in the school --- I didn't know if he was a Moon because he said he was with Phan last year but then he wasn't with Phan's circle too much. It's bizarre but he has an attraction to Wayo.
Forth is seen time and time again in the advert paired with Jaru (Beam <---Character). Yet, Forth and Beam have little to any conversational screen time. There is no development. They are in no way paired as a couple. I could count how many times they stand next to each other on one hand or in a scene together. Yet, they're paired as a possible pair. What nonsense!!! SLOPPY!!!
Once again, what saved this drama...MingKit. Mingkwan (played by Khem) and Kit (played by Ker) are the best. They are the epitome of my ideal BL couples. I'm a pansexual. For those who don't know---I'm a personal who has no sexual orientation---meaning I'm open to anyone. I believe that love has no gender and I don't believe I was born gay or heterosexual or or bisexual or any of that shit. I believe I could love anyone. My heart and mind can direct anywhere and I have no way of denying it. I think Ming and Kit are perfect example of that. Ming and Kit dated women. Ming was on his path and didn't even think about it---didn't even see the attraction but little by little Kit wormed his way in to his heart and then it went deeper. The same way for Kit. Then sexuality came into it. It was a struggle for them--lucky for them, they do live in a society where it isn't perverse to be gay. Not to mention, they were developed. They are also good actors.
The two of them were entertaining on screen. Ming was fresh, boyish, always in a good mood, charming, sweet, and when he has his mind and heart set on something its set. While Kit is studious and regimented. He's kind, steadfast, grumpy (slight temper), extremely intelligent, attractive (his eyes--dear God, his eyes) and dependable. In the end, both are the best friends you could ever want in the world and the best friends they could ever be for each other and the best lovers they could be for each other. MingKit for life.
