More than BL, a true artistic piece

Edit for ep 8: NOTHING, and I cannot emphasis more on that, has ever moved me in a way this show has. This not romance, this is not bl, this is not drama, this is real life. This show is a direct, raw, almost cruel reflection of reality that so many of us live in. And just like real life, there is no happy ending. Just moments of happiness followed by grief and the cycle continues. This show is an experience, a thing to feel, to think, to ponder upon. Watch this only if you can handle the harsh truths of reality because this show is explicit in it's delivery of emotions and struggles.

Original review: Firstly I'm going to say, don't start this series if all you look for in a bl are s sex cenes, cliche troupes and hot dialogues. Go watch something else because to enjoy this series you need to forget what you have seen in bls till now.

I literally created this account to leave this review because people aren't understanding the depth this series has. It was created by Punnasak Sukee who is an artist of Thai Modern Theatre and you can see it in this series. Everything from the opening credit to even a blink carries meaning and weight. This series is about 4 people, and we see 3 of them. That's it, no third wheeling girl, no homophobic parents, no dramatic friends, this is about 3 people and them only. This is not a show, it's an analysis of human psyche, presented to you in the form of 3 characters.

And the reason why I saw it's more than bl is not because bl shows are shallow, I love them as well, but the topics this series focuses upon are much more than just 2 men falling in love. It's about their life, their experiences, their demons, and amidst trying to fight all that, they will find love.

If chemistry b/w leads is important for you, then don't worry, because this show has more sexual tension than any you might have seen. It's not explicit, it's not violent; it's subtle and soft but just as ever-present. It so slow burn, 100k word novels will look short in front of it. But it's worth it, its so worth it.

It's a true artistic piece, it needs patience. Don't start it if you don't have that.
