This show is a bit all over the place. Questionable editing, awful music and far to many of the ‘comedy’ sound effects and the plot? - well the it completely lost the plot. It kept cutting to black for a second - what was that all about? Worst of all is when they show the same shot from 3 or 4 different angles. It’s annoying and an obvious time filler. This show could easily have been 10 episodes and cut all the crap out.
Up until episode 9 the show was haphazard but enjoyable. Then Fighter and Tutor go to the beach, and yes the sex scene is very hot, but the rest... I thought they would never leave the beach! Zon and Saifah don’t make an appearance for nearly two episodes. Episode 10 was so boring I almost turned the whole thing off never to return.
There were just so many loose ends. I liked Hwahwa, but she lost her way half way through and got over Fighter in five seconds flat as soon as Day batted his eyes lashes at her making her seem completely shallow. I liked the idea of her and Pete’s friendship and would’ve liked more back story there.
I found all four of the main boys quite engaging. Saint is the only actor I’ve seen before and he was so much better in this that in Love By Chance, probably because his LBC character was a Mary-Sue. In this show his character had a lot more depth, though they needed to build on that more I think e.g. his family are broke but his mother still had enough cash to buy him a condo - you don’t just go around buying your kids condos if you’re bankrupt and having to work off your debts as a cleaner or whatever it was she was doing! Fighter won my heart in this one - and although it’s cheesy, all the shots of him taking off his shirt find no complain from me... very nice happy trail! The chemistry between Fighter and Tutor is sizzling.
The second couple, Zon and Saifah were cute and both very pretty - but I didn’t feel much chemistry and it all seemed a bit awkward. The whole idea that Zon had fallen into a BL novel didn’t work as they didn’t use it enough, which is a shame as it couldn’t been a more unique twist on the genre.
I can’t leave this review (or is it just a rant, idk) without mentioning my disappointment at the lack of development of some of the side characters. Japan and thingy were totally forgettable but let’s talk about little Blue... and Dew... and Champ. Totally being lined up for a three-way/love triangle? All we got was Blue inviting Dew into his house with a really naff ‘oh yeah’ sound effect. What the heck? Champ clearly had the hots for Blue as did Dew and the three of the together... Does a threeway relationship overstep the Thai BL boundaries? Maybe. Still. I’m annoyed the whole thing fizzled to nothing. Why bother with the side romances if they are just going to be unsatisfying filler?
My rewatch value for this show is almost nothing. Since I discovered this genre I’ve rewatched SOTUS many times, and I can’t stop watching 2Gether as it’s like comfort food, but there’s nothing about this show that would make me watch again other than Zee/Fighter taking off his shirt and I am sure I could find a compilation of that on YouTube. It’s definitely worth watching the one time though, you can always cook your dinner while episode 10 stutters along!
