Drama with Disturbing Tones

I thought I would really like this drama considering I liked My Stubborn and TharnType. However, this one was too problematic for me

Let’s start with the first couple, Rain & Payu. It seems like they went with the innocent = naive & dumb trope for Rain, but they took it was too far. I couldn’t stand his character. A rock would have more brains than he had. Then there’s Payu. His character was more tolerable, and the man playing him is so handsome (Boss). That being said, the power dynamic he established was disturbing. He constantly punished Rain if he didn’t act exactly the way he wanted him too. Said he had to “teach him manners.” There’s one part where he spanks Rain and then tosses him onto the ground. He constantly makes Rain say things like “Rain is begging Payu to stop”. Why are you acting like his dad Payu? Rain is an adult. It gave me the ick.

The second couple: Sky & PraPai. They were easier for me to watch than the first couple. I like how patient and supportive PraPai could be of Sky. Sky also set boundaries. They felt much more equal to me. Yet, there was still some disturbing topics around them. PraPai stalked Sky and tricked people into giving him access to his phone number and dorm. Also, let’s not forget they met because PraPai told him the only way he was allowed to leave the race was to go to bed with him. Basically Sky put it down so well that PraPai became obsessed.

The NC scenes were pretty decent. And I think the actors tried with what they had. But this script was just not for me.
