Strong Cast but the Main Couple Lacked Chemistry

I'm still relatively new to the whole Thai BL scene, having only seen a select few series, so I don't have a huge amount to compare this to. This is actually my first written review btw so!

I had previously watched Puppy Honey and Puppy Honey 2, so I had experienced seeing Attaphan and Jumpol as the lead male couple. While I feel like this series was a lot better than PH and PH2, I still feel the two main actors lacked any real chemistry, and this really impacted my interest in the couple's relationship as the series progressed. Compared to the other BL series I have watched, these two actors really have some of the weakest chemistry on screen together.

Character-wise, I think this series had a strong cast and a nice, diverse group of main characters. Each of Khai, Third, Two and Bone played their own role in their group. Personally I felt Two had the strongest character and I was rooting for him and Un for the whole series, even more so than Khai and Third. Bone's charming personality was sweet to watch and his relationship with Paan was handled very well (massive fan of Paan's character as well btw!) While I thought Attaphan's acting of Third was very strong, by the end of the first episode I was already tired of the crying. I don't think I have ever seen a character cry so much in 12 episodes? I began to like his character as the series progressed but it sort of fell back to the beginning towards the end of the series. I feel like Third lacked any real character development. As for Khai, I didn't have any strong feelings in favour or against him. Wasn't a massive fan of his character throughout and the devlopment of his feelings for Third just seemed ingenuine.

I thought the overall theme was sweet - where each episode was titled after a classic romance film and I really enjoyed the references to various classic films (shout out to The Perks of Being a Wallflower). The soundtrack was a lot more interesting than the majority of other BL series I have seen. I was also a fan of the opening sequence. As for rewatch value, I don't think I will be re-watching this any time soon. I still have a tonne of highly-rated series I'd like to see first but even of the ones I have seen, this would be way down the list of series I'd rewatch.

If you were a fan of Rome and Pick's relationship in Puppy Honey then I would definitely recommend checking out this series! It offers a similar enough relationship, just with a much much better storyline. The lack of chemistry between the main actors really knocked it for me, but I don't regret watching this at all. Overall I gave it a 7.5 / 10.
