A beautiful story
I've waited this drama to finish in order to binge watch it and thank god I did it because this drama is so good that I couldn't wait to watch another episode every time I finished one.
The story is not really original but it is so well-done that it feels unique on its own. The cinematography is absolutely wonderful and the pacing of the story is absolutely right, I think: not too slow but not too fast either (which is a problem in some series nowadays).
All of the actors are fantastic in their role (even the bad guys). I already knew Nonkul was a great actor but I discovered Bright in this series and he's wonderfully talented. The emotional scenes went straight into my heart and he got me teary several times along the drama, which is almost a miracle as it is difficult for me to cry watching fictional stories. I specially remember the scene in which Jom and Yai sleep together for the last time and Yai is crying as he's doing it. That was so beautifully filmed and acted by both Nonkul and Bright, it was amazing. Another scene that I found really beautiful for its rawness is when Jom is applying oil on himself. I didn't know how to feel watching this. I was embarassed at first, feeling that I was watching something that I shouldn't, but at the end, I felt that the scene was very magnificent, and I couldn't help but praising the work behind those kind of scenes. Because some may think that those scenes are just NC scenes to please the audience but I felt that they were something more than just s*x. In the first example, we can see Yai longing for Jom as he knows that the time with him will be over soon. And in the second example, we can see Jom just burning with desire and we understand later why he didn't ask Yai some help. Those scenes really made an impact on me.
Other actors that I want to talk about is Kimmy and his lovely British accent (I knew he was familiar and I've checked his filmography to see that he played one of the rugbyman in Bad Buddy - what a great upgrade!) and Attila. Robert's character was a real j*rk but I love that he was more than that and that we can see that he was really in love with Jeed as the look he gave her at the end before being taken by the police showed.
Of course, I liked the show as a whole and I really liked that they took the time to build the relationship between Yai and Jom instead of making them in love right from the start (even though, it's a bit what's happening but at least, they spend time together, learning about each other before being official). It was still a bit irritating to see Jom so dense when he was facing Yai's feelings (the guy told him right in his face that he had feelings for him and the next day, when he properly confesses, Jom is still acting surprised...) and to see them being all lovey-dovey in places they could easily be seen (don't they know where they are?).
I'm a bit confused about the ending, though, as it is not specifically explained who exactly is the guy at the end. Is he the real Yai from the 1920s (impossible because he should be dead unless he also travelled in time) or is it his reincarnation (possible, but why does he have the exact same name and the same memories as Yai?). I would have loved to see a bit more of them in 2023 and that they explained a bit more of what I'm wondering...
I highly recommend this series (watch the uncut version, it is probably better) and I hope that they will do a second season as I've heard a lot of people talking about it on social media (is it for real?).
