OK, but NOT the genre I expected
Based on the summary I was excited for this series. I thought we were going to get a potentially supernaturally themed BL. I want more genre variation than comedy or drama. I was fine with another school setting if there was gonna be a fantastical element to the story. I was excited.
Without spoiling as to how or why, let me just say that the genre expectation was a bait-and-switch. It didn't end up being the genre I hoped it would be.
The only reason I knew about this show was because Khaotung (Aye) was starring in it. I really liked his performance in 2gether the series, as a side character, and I wanted to see if he had a lead role in a BL series. I was anticipating it so much that I waited until this show was done airing to watch it.
The story had a lot of potential, even with the genre bait-and-switch which disappointed me, but it ended up being merely average in the end.
Maybe I just shouldn't watch GMMTV productions, but I feel like there aren't enough romantic scenes to give the actors a chance to perform or get comfortable with each other as a couple. Compared to other Thai BL productions it feels like there is an unnatural avoidance of showing PDA between romantic couples onscreen. Unless this is an overall problem with maturity ratings in Thailand where GMMTV has to limit it to keep the PG13 rating for sponsorships?
I liked the actors. There just wasn't much they could do with what they were given.
