Explaining My Ratings (Likes & Dislikes)
My first BL after a long time, I made a MDL account just to review this lol. Still can't believe they paired Perth and Chimon together, so unexpected yet memorable.
1. Story (6.5/10)
LIKES
The start of the story was very interesting with the intense bullying and genuine hatred they had for each other, it made me become more curious on how they would ever softened up to each other. I liked how Sailom would stand up for himself, showing how even though he's poor, he'll stand with the truth and not bow down to Kang. I absolutely love their fluff scenes together.
How the show portrayed the horrible life Sailom had to endure made the viewers have a deeper connection with him. I also appreciate how there's no stupid misunderstanding here that can easily be solved. The fact this show added a cute meaning to 'windmill' and 'wind' is cheesy and adorable. I'm thankful that Pimfah didn't lead Kang on, they both knew she wasn't interested in a relationship and she stood by her words. Additionally, I don't have any complaints I can think of about Saifah and Name's storyline together.
DISLIKES
How Kang and Sailom softened up with each other didn't make much sense to me. Kang would act out-of-character at comedy/light-hearted scenes. He lowered his ego at the early episodes for the sake of the storyline. Are you telling me someone who spread fake information about Sailom being a pedophile is willing to soften his behavior when he was forced to study with him?? Kang also had strange behaviors like acting way too upset with Sailom when his brother confessed to killing his dad, I get that he felt mad but he expressed it like Sailom was the murderer.
It was also strange how Kang liked Pimfah (the lock scene) when he barely showed his feelings to her but way more to Sailom. Pimfah liking Sailom was also not portrayed enough for it make sense, and Sailom admitting to Kang he liked him when/since he gave his umbrella back when they were little? It felt thrown in randomly. I'm also not much of a fan with the way Kang announced to the whole school he was dating Sailom, it felt nerfed down when it's a big deal. Nawa and Guy's story was your expected 'enemies to lover' trope, but more could've been shown to see how they softened up rather than a time skip. Pimfah and Nabdao's growth wasn't portrayed much so I couldn't feel a connection with them as a couple, it felt platonic (or it is supposed to be platonic?).
2. Acting/cast (5.5/10)
LIKES
PerthChimon are able to express hatred really well, Perth is great at acting as a bully and Chimon could express standing up for himself. Their fluff moments felt natural to me, especially the playful and emotional scenes like hugging and teasing. I love KangSailom's bromance moments, Perth has the ability to express his chemistry well from what I've seen with his other ex/partners (Saint, Santa). Even though several people have expressed how Chimon is better off being a bully than a cute character, I believe he acted witty charmingly. JJ is also well fit being a bully, he has the gaze for it. Nawa (Pawin) is damn good at making expressions used to annoy Guy (Marc), the way he moves his eyebrows and the corner of his lips. NAWAGUY'S KISS SCENE OMGGG they are so damn good at it, shocked me crazy at the last/one of the last episodes. I didn't expect much from a side couple since they progressed very slowly but damn that kiss was awesome.
DISLIKES
PerthChimon kissing scenes felt rather awkward. Since they're both known actors, I had higher expectations, but their kiss looked like how several old BL series used to be when people would watch any that was available. A bit disappointed to say the MC's kiss was worse than the side couple. Marc's expressions felt dull and unnatural especially during scenes when he was angry and sad . June (Napdao)'s character was too basic that I couldn't feel a connection with ViewJune here. All Napdao did was smile around, I thought ViewJune was kind of awkward here. I'm aware that Pepper (Name) is supposed to be this 'cool guy', but the moment he came to Saifah after he got shot was kind of cringe due to his 'cool guy' character.
3. Music (8/10)
LIKES
I really love the official OST, 'Wind' sung by Chimon is my absolute favorite (sounds similar to 'Bluestone Alley' from piano tiles 2!). I loved how the OST was used at the end when they were at the windmill field together. 'Wind' and 'Sunset' (sung by PerthChimon) are songs I'd definitely continue to listen for a long time especially during night time or while driving. I'm literally listening to it right now.
DISLIKES
Not much actually, but I'll make a comment on the BGMs derived from the OSTs. I felt like there wasn't enough variations of the songs and seemed repetitive. It's not a big deal though. The music category seems fine to me, the highest rating out of all categories.
4. Rewatch Value (3.5/10)
This is a rather memorable series in my opinion, will be one of the series I think of in the future. But I doubt I'll rewatch it. I like this ship, I know both actors and they're both cute. I'll remember this ship, probably see some clips of them again when I miss them, but not rewatching a whole series. Well this was an interesting first and last series with PerthChimon, my first BL after a long break. Thank you for reading, feel free to update me on any mistakes I might've remembered wrong that i mentioned here.
