This is hands down the best Thai bl drama I’ve watched. I finished watching it in under a day (yesterday) and I’m already thinking about rewatching it. Unlike most popular Thai bl dramas, the story line moved at a very steady and realistic pace, and there were no cringy moments, and there were a lot of intense skinship moments.
The main lead’s friends were actually supportive, interesting and likeable, most of them even had interesting plot lines of their own. Most importantly, they were actually the ones who moved the main story line along (rather than the leads, who were passive at times). I found myself slightly frustrated with the main couple around the middle of the series as one of the ML was a bit cowardly, and kept watching the show for the friend group.
The ending is incredibly satisfying and my only complaint is that (as far as I know) there isn’t a season two, as Queen Yihwa deserves a romantic interest and plot line of her own.
***I just found out that there is a series focusing on Yihwa that actually came out before this drama. I genuinely couldn’t be happier
