BL almost parodic with a fanfic/shipper point of view that could have been exploited more
This BL romance is set up between guess what...engineering (and communication) students with also a soccer team and a music club in the background...Let's say that it is quite classical within the BL Thai landscape. However the story contains also enough of little twists to make it quite interesting to follow.
I like that the relationships between the guys are already established. We are not in a situation where they meet each other, they have some stormy past between them, which makes it somewhat refreshing. It is also litterally fanfiction becoming real which makes it pretty fun and endearing to follow. I enjoyed the delulu / fangirls / shipper point of view with the BL references. It is clealry a nice plot element but it could have been exploited much more.
The humor is too slapstick for my tatse, sometimes I do not mind it but here it is really heavy with some of the sidekick roles. Pacing-wise, they ended each episode on a cliffhanger or some hot scenes, making the show pretty bingeable. Honestly, the chemistry was kind of there but not for everyone and it was difficult to understand how quick the two main couples went from hate to attraction. Eventhough the switch from hate to love was too fast to be believable, with some suspension of disbelief, it gets better.
Acting-wise, I really enjoyed to find back Saint and Zee in a new pairing, very spicy. Their hot scenes are really well done with palpable tension. Tommy and Jimmy were doing an okay job but the light was really shining more on the other pairing than on them. I also appreciated to see some familiar faces among the secondary cast but I had also some real trouble enjoying the sides couples as the script felt very parodic for most of them.
Production-wise, it felt really low budget. It is too bad that the animation parts felt really cheap and poorly animated with drawing that are pretty standard and bland. It really does not bring a lot to the series...In addition to the less than stellar animation, the editing of the scenes and the transitions are also pretty bad, it felt super choppy in terms of continuity. The OST was really forgettable and a bit all over the place.
I would recommend this to people looking for a classical BL in a university set up with fanfiction / shipper reference and parodic/comical elements. It is pretty spicy with a lot of eye candy as well which makes its flaws in writing and in production a bit more forgivable I suppose.
