I went from disliking to loving this show

I went from disliking to loving this show. A common sentiment in reviews is that many viewers stopped watching because they felt embarrassed by Toh (Seng Wichai Saefant). I think this happens when you become too invested in a character, as many drama fans do. But this series isn't a drama; it's a pure romcom. The main character is simply a charming idiot. His behavior is so comical, almost to the point of absurdity, that some viewers can't handle it. However, those who stick with it through the first three episodes usually finish the series. In my opinion, Seng is even more charming here than in his other roles. His goofy smile is much more endearing than a serious expression. Overall, while it's a pretty typical romcom, it's definitely worth watching for Billy's fans.

A nice blend of supernatural, detective, and romantic elements

What I like about the series is that it's not really a sports movie, as you might conclude from the title. It's more like a nice blend of supernatural, detective, and romantic elements woven into a sports movie plot. There's a mysterious undercover villain that adds an intriguing layer to the story. The characters are well-developed and psychologically complex, making plot twists less predictable, which I appreciate.
I've never been a fan of sports movies, but I really enjoyed this one. The original soundtrack is also quite good; I've listened to it many times.
But now, let me tell you about the things I don't like about the series. The final episode is really a mess. The actions of both the villain and the hero lack logic. A small, insignificant slip provokes the cool-headed villain into self-destructive, suicidal actions. Meanwhile, the hero accepts his lover's dubious actions without question. There should have been a stronger foundation for defeating the villain and at least two episodes dedicated to the lovers' journey back to normal.

OST and Hiran steal the show

Two things of this series has managed to leave a lasting impression on me: beautiful OST, which I was waiting for at the end of each episode, and the compelling performance of Bright Vachirawit as Hiran. While Hiran may be a secondary character, his complex psychology and morally ambiguous actions steal the show. Bright's portrayal of Hiran is nothing short of phenomenal. His ability to convey a range of emotions, from vulnerability to cold-heartedness, is truly remarkable. The character's internal struggles and conflicting desires are palpable, making him a fascinating and unforgettable figure. It's rare to see such a nuanced portrayal of a villain, and Bright's performance elevates the series to new heights.

Though no chemistry, in my opinion

Overall, I am very satisfied with the series . It boasts excellent cinematography, an engaging plot, and strong performances. However, I cannot share the overly high ratings given by other users.

In my opinion, the series lacks chemistry between the main characters, Jom and Yai. This might be because, in real life, they do not have BL relationships. As a result, there is a constant emotional distance between the characters. While Nonkul Chanon's restrained acting style is generally fitting, the relationship between Jom and Yai feels more like that of two people stranded on a deserted island—brought together and bonded solely by circumstances.

Despite this, I really enjoyed the series. It offers a unique take on the BL genre, combining elements of history, fantasy, and mystery, making it truly special.

Whatever happens, the expression on their faces remain the same.

Though I like this series as a whole, I feel I could drop it after six episodes. While the series still offers plot twists, the main protagonists remain irritatingly unchanged. Phupha is the most emotionless main character I have ever seen. Although actors perform satisfactorily overall, I wish their characters would develop alongside the storyline, showcasing new emotions. Sadly, this does not happen. Even Khram, your smile can be enchanting, but after more than six episodes with the same expression, it becomes irritating. The plot progresses, but this development does not reflect in the characters' attitude, which is something I felt was lacking in this series.
