A mobster who likes it rough, but has a heart of gold. or does he?
This is my second time watching...but my first review
Overall: This series if awesome if you are NOT looking for sweet, fluffy, or darling romance. There's red flags, bd**, codependency, violence, murder (off screen), and general chaos. Lots of reviews say it's cringy. For me, it's not. It's got some sweet and adorable moments that made me smile, and lots of messy, chaos which I also enjoyed.
Acting: I love an actor who is a good cryer. When they are able to actually bring real tears, don't cry too loudly, and let out these heartbreaking little sobs or soft crying noises. This always connects me to the character, and I can immediately feel their pain. I'm invested. I found myself wanting to hug Kim (Ton) throughout much of this series. He does some emotions very well.
Yoon is a terrific bad guy with selective tastes in the bedroom, and plays the character of Kamol perfectly. Their chemistry is sometimes awkward, but at the same time, undeniable. Skinship and spice moments are plentiful. Permission is asked, so that's always a plus, but the pain is also a given. I love how whispery Kamol's voice is when he speaks to Kim. If he looked at me with that intense look, I'd be a puddle. Just saying....But when he's ticked off, watch out! I love the swag in his walk, esp in ep 6. For me, he could have shown even more fury and that would have been just fine. lol
Love the girls, Sammy is her usually humorous self -it's nice seeing her in a grown up, office role. Baitoey is not someone I'm familiar with, but I really love her. Her character Metawee (Mai, Mei, May) defends and tries to protect her boss in a non-crush kinda way. She's also his go-to for advice.
Kuma Punnathorn Pornprasit who plays Salmon did a spectacular job especially for a child actor. He's simply adorable.
Really enjoyed all the side characters.
Cast: the boys are crazy built, and hot, the ladies are pretty. what more do you need?
Story: It's different. lol...the business parts of the story are full of lies, double crosses, chaos and violence. The mobsters are mobstering, so keep that in mind before you watch, this may not be for you. From ep 6 on the total chaos is real. Danai is over the top. I do wonder just how many phones and ipads he goes through. lol
The romance part of the story....oh my. One night stand becomes more, even if one of them isn't sure what he wants. But since he does some personal research after his first night--Methinks he doth protest too much. lol
If you like the enemies to lovers trope (they aren't really enemies-just that the one being chased is running very hard) , keep watching. But beware, there are plenty of red flags, and forceful behaviors. (he doesn't use force per say, but his personality IS forceful and determined to get his own way). I actually loved the way they developed their relationship over the length of the series. Kim says no with his mouth, but yes with his body and expressions. So there are a lot of mixed signals.
The ending is soft, and sweet, with an unexpected surprise. lol
The tigers? well, for me that's a big NO. They should be in the wild, or a refuge. Not someone's home. Everytime Kim sticks his hands into the cage, or holds onto the bars I'm like NO NO NO....lol
Memorable quotes:
Kamol-I can be whatever you want me to be.
Mei-The didn't try to kill you, did they?
Kamol-He's so stubborn, just the way I like it.
Lop-I am so dead.
Kamol-A person like me doesn't threaten.
Danai-If you love him so much, I'll send you both to hell.
Kim-I know who I am, and what I am doing.
Kamol-What past? There's only the present and the future...
Wardrobe: I LOVE the styles in this series. The jackets were really on point. The turtle necks, the suits, the glasses....They did a great job with all the cast. The assistant girls (Metawee and Jin) clothes are SOOO awesome! I did feel that a lot of Cherry's clothes looked more like she was going clubbing, and not really dayware, or rather ready for her attempts at espionage. lol
Product placement: without it, there's no series. lol...for the most part, they do a good job blending them into the story in the early eps. gets to be a bit much as the show progresses. But it is what it is.
Music: the score often increases the dramatic value without overpowering the dialogue which is great. and it's not constant noise. I appreciate some down time from the music.
Filming/Lighting: most of the time it was fine. But the dramatic flashes for some of the scenes were a bit much.
Timeline: Yeah, don't ask me. Supposedly, the first half or so happens while Kim in on his 1 week vaca. But this makes no sense, considering everything that happens. So don't stress too much over it.
Final note: The 3 main body guards are all gorgeous, and deserve their own story. After about ep 7, you start to see more of their personalities. I love that they know ALL about their boss's preferences, root for him, and seem to love him. lol Oh ep 10 will live in my mind forever. lol
The side romance well...I love this little crush, and since they are both of age more power to them...irl they are only a couple years apart, although the younger seems SO young. lol
