I can say this: GAP (Mon) and MHING (Soh) are my least favorite pair in lead roles – both physically and acting wise. So, it was an effort to finish this series. It’s good that there is lang NEW (Tan), POON (Pond), MEW (Tack), and ZAX (Tim).

Acting is understandably below par because all cast members are newcomers. So, the awkwardness is expected but that’s no excuse if 1) they screened the cast well 2) the director guided the actors. My prediction: actor Gap (who plays Mon) won’t go far in the acting business. I suggest he change careers. Same with Mhing (who plays Soh). Both are ham actors. The good actors in the cast are those who played Pond, Saint, Tack, and Tim.

STORY: Nothing new here. Hate turns to like. Execution is also not fresh. You feel that you’ve seen all that before. It was an ordeal.

PACING. Super slow. And the way the characters talk, they are like in slow motion. You always feel like taking the words out of their mouths. Lots of dead air, tbh!

SCRIPT: One of the worst. The only characters with good lines and delivery are the coach, Pond and sometimes, Saint. I feel like their lines were written by a different writer from those who wrote the ML’s lines (there are four writers, including the director).

Most of the comedy lines/scenes fell flat – except that of the COACH’s and POND’s. They’re both natural and likeable, unlike the two MLs.

DIRECTING. I checked out the filmography of the director. Just 1 drama before this. And only 5 MDL users have seen it.

Cinematography and camerawork: Below average. But there’s a big improvement beginning with Ep 10. It seems that they changed their DoP starting with that ep. Music and sound effects are irritating, to say the least. I had to stop using earphones while watching.

This is one of the least favorite Thai BL series that I’ve seen..

5.5 / 10
