was expecting much much more...
Honestly, the reason I started this series, despite not loving the premise, is because of how high the reviews were on Viki. It had a 9.4 star rating!!!! but this show was so bad!!!!! The actors had literally no chemistry, like I wasn't convinced at all that Sarawat liked Tine at all. The acting coming from Bright wasn't awful, but it seemed like he didn't care about anything for the entire show. I don't think the romance genre suit him. I thought Win's performance was pretty solid, considering the lack of experience. All of the side characters had very good performances as well. I
I really didn't enjoy the whole fan club thing that Sarawat had going on the whole time. It was so unrealistic!! like why are all these girls absolutely drooling after him when he gives them literally zero attention and if anything, is rude to them? Why do these girls completely ignore all of the other hot boys around and unconditionally love him? Honestly, I thought Tine was hotter. Every time the whole girls fanning over him thing came up (often) I was just completely pulled out of the plot. There were no good female characters either.
Now, the chemistry. How are we supposed to believe they are boyfriends if they barely even touch each other? I think they kissed like once!! Their vibe gives more brothers than it does boyfriends. It's not like im asking for explicit sex or anything, but maybe some hand holding? An arm around the waist? A little kiss? come on!!!
Part of the reason I picked up this show was because I had a 10 hour flight and I didn't want to watch a show that was super explicit, a consideration for the people behind me lol.
The plot was very very predictable. And not very interesting. The writing wasn't awful but not anything to be impressed by.
TLDR: the acting from Bright was lackluster, but Wat's) was pretty good. The plot was bad, they barely touch each other. The side couples and actors were good, but not good enough to make the show worth watching.
Unless you really really REALLY love the whole university BL trope, and don't care for intimacy, (or intend to watch this show on a plane or something), I wouldn't watch it. very lukewarm acting and show. I cannot BELIEVE the rating is so high on Viki.
