The huge buzz around this series was what put it on my radar, but it was only when I learned of its wacky premise that I decided to give it a try. The first few episodes were entertaining enough, especially when Green (Gun Korawit), who starts out as the villain, turns out to be slightly more complex than I had expected.

Unfortunately, things quickly lose steam once Sarawat (Bright Vachiwarit) and Tine (Win Metawin) begin to confront their real feelings of mutual desire within the framework of their fake relationship. After Green virtually disappears from the story, the narrative tries to raise the stakes by introducing obstacles between Sarawat and Tine, but these obstacles are so lazily conceived and deployed that I found it hard to care.

It doesn't help that Bright and Win, while both very attractive, aren't able to simulate convincing romantic chemistry. At best, they come across as being good enough friends that their sharing the same bed isn't weird. Bright's performance is particularly disappointing because he has already had years of acting experience before landing this role. I understand that the character of Sarawat is supposed to be aloof, but Bright tends to play him as dead-eyed and bored (and, therefore, boring). Despite being a rookie, Win manages to outshine him, especially in the more melodramatic moments.

The plot lines involving the other characters are similarly flawed, but I ended up finding them much more interesting.

This is the first BL series that I've ever watched, and getting through it has made me realize that I need to adjust my standards downward quite a bit. It has a lot of cute, fun moments that indicate where the show might have gone but doesn't. With the exception of the ending, it isn't completely terrible and I understand why people find it entertaining.
