What can I say about this drama that probably hasn't already been said?
This was a surprise to me considering the let downs we have had with other BLs recently. I came into this drama not expecting much. I actually did not watch it as it was airing, but waited until at least the 12th episode was out because there were too many dramas I was overloading myself with.
I am glad I waited. I believe it helped me actually concentrate on the story and acting and not give an opinion based on the moment emotions which sometimes happens.
Lets start off with what I did like.
I loved the pacing. I think that there wasn't much rushing or slowness to this drama as we have seen in other. I also believe that because there is a rumor of a second season, that the production team took care to really try to develop the characters.
Those damn FUJOSHI characters. Can we please stop this?!!! They are annoying and just makes women characters look like obsessed hyenas. Even King's sister being such a grown a&& woman with kids and making her kids take pictures of her brother kissing another boy is some level of voyeurism that's just UGG (barf)
Speaking of character:
RAM! I truly believe that this was the most developed character in the drama aside from King. Ram had very little dialogue compare to others because his character was the introverted and guarded type. But could his eyes and smiles really deliver a scene? And when he cried after learning of his father's affair?? I really loved how much they did with this character with so little, yet his story arc was the most developed one of all (dealing with a father who cheats, dealing with his inability to open up to others, dealing with a budding crush on his senior, so much)
King!: This kid was so adorable and such an easy to like character. His love of plants allowed him to be very observant of others around him and soon Ram was another specimen he needed to dissect and study and then give care and love to. This couple had very interesting dynamics and I liked it very much.
Mek and Boss! Putting aside the horrible voice over (come on they could have found a voice actor with a more easy to digest voice tone) Mek was another "mute" character. He had very little dialogue just like Ram, but he was able to convey a lot of what he felt for Boss without saying much. Boss was a typical goofy character that you see in a lot of dramas, but honestly, there was so much to him. He had feelings for MEK for a while but was afraid to ruin it. He liked to pretend that their Husband-wife roles were real and fun as a way to stay close to him. I understand why they included Fon in their relationship, because Boss was trying to forget his feelings for Mek.
Duen/Bohn....sighs...I really want to say some nice things about this couple...I really do...but they were FRUSTRATING and just another cliche of a couple. I could put aside some of the childish and immature behaviors from Bohn, but I was not really feeling them as a couple. Honestly, they need to have more development. Bohn was such a cocky and immature punk all the way until the 13th episode and then we get some character development from him?? That was annoying to say the least. Well, if the season 2 rumors are true, then I hope this couple takes the side-pairing seat and let Ram/King be main as their story is more interesting.
Thara/Frong....I am in the minority here, but I felt zero chemistry from them, but that just means that another season will be a time to develop them.
Overall, for me the drama was good, not great. It felt like every other BL cliche drama out there, nothing we haven't seen before. What saved it for me was the characters RAM and KING...and MEK/Boss to some extent. Really without them, I would have rated this even lower.
In the end, it's a watch if you are bored and waiting for something else to drop.
