It had potential
I watched the trailer and pilot when it came out and was imediately hooked by the fwb idea and very exited.
I only wanted to watch it after middlemans love came out, but i saw a lot of clips on tiktok etc. which made me even more exited!
<
My conclusion after finishing it, is that i'm pretty disappointed.
Positives first:
The quality was pretty nice, and the acting for thai BL standarts was really good (esp. James crying scenes)
Another thing i would like to praise is the styling. It was just perfect!
I personally liked that Uea didnt have these typical loud monologes many main characters have (the only example i can think of right now is Rain from LITA), but thats also why i never really understood his thought process and reactions (ex. when Krit came, Uea seemed to have a bad feeling about him, but the audience never got to know that directly and why)
The characters were distinguishable and creative and suited the story.
I also think Ueas past was really sad and i could really feel his pain. I hated his mother and uncle so much haha
Moreover, there were actual consequences for the bad guys (not like in Tharntype >:c)
The story had a lot of sexy scenes (obviously, the title is bed friends after all) but also a lot of soft and sweet interactions between the main couple, with their friends and with Ueas sister.
And OMG JamesNets chemistry is off the charts!!!
And the kinks were new (very interesting and very cute kitten ears)
Now negatives:
I feel like the idea was great but the _whole_ story wasnt really thought through.
There were some scenes that felt very random or should have been showed in another context.
We also never got to know why Uea and King didnt like each other or how they met in the first place. That whole chunk of the story was missing.
Same with their decision to become fwb in the first place.
In my opinion, the timeline in general was partly hard to follow. The flow of the story got really disrupted.
Also there was only the main couple. That made it onesided, with no other couple/story to balance KingUea out. I understand that Jade and Mai got their own drama but still.
All in all, I think its a pity. James and Net have so much potential but the writing was just not it.
I am excited for their projects in the future.
I doubt I will rewatch this anytime soon.
