Cause You're My Boy isn't one of the most regarded selections in the BL genre but many from the community have a soft spot for FrankDrake's chemistry and after watching this show, I understand why. Where this series fails in the writing compartment, it makes up for with genuinely heart-warming interactions between the main couple, Tee/Mork. There were so many moments that felt truly intimate. I appreciated the way that the boys would openly discuss experimentation and curiosity about sexuality and boners.

I also had an appreciation for the environment, despite the apparent low production. Cause You're My Boy is one of the only shows I've watched so far that depicts Bangkok as the busy, high-traffic metropolitan that it is. There aren't very many quiet moments on the show. Even in bedroom scenes, there are still times that traffic can be faintly heard. However, the sound mixing was sometimes noticeably lacking. Thankfully, it was never a major distraction. Along with the technicalities of sound in post-production, there were some very bad editing choices. For example, one scene in which Mork is covered in post-its and Tee begins removing them with his mouth. He takes one from his right cheek in the wide angle shot but in Drake's coverage, the post-it is still there.

I wish I could just say that much of my issues were with post-production but the writing was all over the place. The story was sometimes hard to follow because people would do things without explanation. Early on, I was completely unsure at how Mork and Tee viewed their relationship because there was no consistency. Sometimes, it would seem like Tee was pursuing Mork while Mork was hesitant and in the very next scene, the roles were reversed. The characters acted with no nuance or build-up.

The one storyline that had good foreshadowing was Mork's sickness, but even that got dragged down by lack of explanation onscreen. Mork's nosebleeds were indicators of his declining health but they were cleverly disguised by his wild thoughts of sex. Excellent allusion to the storyline but then they never even bothered to reveal what the actual illness was (YT comments say that it was Leukemia in the book). Mork's hospitalization was executed very poorly. I didn't even realize right away that he was hospitalized for a long time until a later scene.

A storyline that I thought suffered from poor development was Au's feelings for Mork. I liked the storyline but I thought there should have been more done to allude to that in the beginning. All hints leading up to the revelation came halfway through the show. And then when Mork reveals to Tee that he may have slept with someone (never saying who), Tee was completely unbothered. That wasn't very realistic at all.

There was a storyline with Bambi and Ching that came out of nowhere and then went nowhere. In fact, as soon as there was some apparent tension between the girls, they went missing for the next few episodes until the last episode where they have one single scene to hug it out.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this drama to someone who wants a coherent story but if you're in it for the sweet moments then I say go for it.
