Underrated series due to its appearance, but a good watch.
I've been waiting to watch SCOY since they anounced it because P'Thanamin is one of my favourite directors and P'Saint was co-producer so I trusted. I found out that in just 3 episodes, it's a really good watch if you open your mind with some scenes that are extremely comedy and/or cliché (that's just P'Thanamin style).
In terms of story, I guess the "crush" thing has been already used many times, but SCOY offers a new vision as the crush is actually Toh and not P'Nuea as we may all think at first; Toh's just the crazy stalker who keeps collecting stuff and gay panicking. Many times I myself feel a bit cringy with Toh's reaction or typical BL clichés, but SCOY has the ability of having extremely good drama scenes that make your heart clench tightly because it did hurt. Especially in ep 1 when Toh draydreamt about him and P'Nuea kissing, it was actually really heartbreaking. These scenes are what gives it a point of quality in the story.
When we talk about acting, I'm pretty surprised because of Seng and Billy mainly as long as they're really good, Toh's personality is original, finally adding a gay-ish character as main. Yet everyone is skilled at not making scenes awkward when comedy is at its finest. I also applaud how well worked the friendship is built in the groups. When they remember the rules, it hurts as hell. The support is clear indeed. I thought I'd cringe more in some scenes, especially the comical ones, but somehow I don't as they quite know when to change or maintain a certain level of atmosphere.
Probably the music is the most disliked thing for me in this series, as they let it lead the feelings CONSTANTLY in each part. Typical BL bgm to accompany comedy and drama scenes and telling you how to feel instead of the script or acting. They should have trusted more the actors and actresses' power to convey feelings without the need of so much useless bgm.
Anyway, in general terms, so far this is a good BL to watch, enjoy and wait for as a lot is still left in the air. Knowing how P'Thanamin is, I know things will get seriously dramatic even though the series has been quite funny so far. I recommend it.
Thanks for reading.
