Engaging characters with Good Story

I have watched many of the ML dramas but in this one he is totally not the macho, domineering good looking male lead. Instead he is intelligent, thoughtful and respectful to others ( may have a little autism maybe). Even though you bite your tongue waiting for him to become more assertive with his parents -he finally is able to so while attempting to keep his relationship with parents. The FL is definitely sassy but has had her share of heartaches but she is neither mean or hateful because she’s got this large support system especially her transvestite “ mother” who teachers her to be the better person. I had a difficult time accepting the actor who plays her father in this role but I came to like his character. Give this Lakorn a chance. I like lakorns cause you get to feel as an audience member many emotions in just one episode- anger, frustration, laughter, pity, jealousy, etc. instead of special effects the actors and the story take you on a wild ride.

A little gem of a comforting Thai series ╰(✿´⌣`✿)╯♡

Thai series, a plea for the LGBT+ cause, very cute and positive (for once).

PLOT: Improbable meeting between a "perfect - A class" surgeon, with toxic father - submissive mother, and 1 FL illustrator, raised by a group of Drag Queens, free-minded and warm. She will gradually release the ML from his father's grip.

PROS:
+ A perfect production to serve an unusual story. It tlaks about romance, but especially family (with toxic parents), family ties and homophobia / discrimination / etc., with sensitivity, humor and intelligence. RARE !
+ a cute CL (James Ji & Toey) with a top-notche chemistry.
+ Great actors who bring endearing characters to life, especially the “Cage” gang.
+ No slap/kiss, gratuitous violence, Great Villain.
+ Nothing special about the OST.

### Well, the Happy Ending, with the awareness of everyone's mistakes, is a bit far-fetched, but it's fresh & cute.

=> I wish to watch more series like that, and I'll rewatch it with pleasure (and it's rare for me to rewatch something :)

Série thaï, plaidoyer pour la cause LGBT+, très cute et positive (pour une fois).

PLOT: Rencontre improbable entre 1 chirurgien "1e de la classe", avec père toxique - mère soumise, et 1 FL illustratrice, élevée par un groupe de Drag Queens, libre et chaleureuse. Elle va peu à peu, sortir le ML de l'emprise.

PROS:
+ Une réalisation parfaite au service d'une story inhabituelle. Elle traite de romance, mais surtout de famille (avec parents toxiques), des liens familiaux et de l'homophobie / discrimination /etc., avec sensibilité, humour et intelligence. RARE !
+ un CL craquant (James Ji & Toey)
+ De super acteurs qui donnent vie à des personnages attachants, en particulier le gang de "la cage".
+ Pas de slap/kiss, de violence gratuite, de Great Villain.
+ Rien de particulier sur les OST.

### Bon, la Happy End, avec la prise de conscience des erreurs de chacun, est un peu tirée par les cheveux, mais c'est frais & mignon.

=> Une petite perle de série thaï réconfortante ╰(✿´⌣`✿)╯♡ Ne passez pas à côté !
