Another hit and miss by Mame

How this Mame person is still writing BL stories and hasn't been chased out of Thailand, tarred and feathered, is beyond me. This woman is built entirely of gay stereotypes and not even the good ones at that... Seriously, stalking, forcing oneself onto someone and rape leading to romance is something that just does not happen. Ever! The "words say no, but body says yes" trope is beyond despicable. If the "words say no", it doesn't matter what the body says. It's no, just NO! I managed to get through 6 episodes of this insufferable drivel, trying hard to see past the many, many flaws, but in the end it was just too intolerable. Cringe acting (especially by Noeul and Fort), horrible sound, repetitive and stretched out scenes, gratuitous semi porn scenes,... If I would have to find one redeeming feature, it would be the music. Steer clear. In fact: steer clear of anything that has sprung from the sick and twisted mind of Mame.

This is a trainwreck

Where do I even begin? This show has no other redeeming qualities than the cute shirtless boys you'll get to see every now and then (and admittedly: there some VERY cute boys in this show). There is no storyline worth mentioning. Seriously... Who wrote this dribble? There is no general direction to the story, there is not even one memorable conversation between any of the characters, characters are introduced that have no connection to any of the other protagonists, there is no point and no conclusion to most of the scenes. The two main couples get together as a result of rape... Furthermore the acting is mostly cringe. There is no chemistry whatsoever between any of the characters, which makes everything that happens all the more unbelievable. And then there is the incessant product placement. I can understand the need for monetization and I can usually see passed it. We see this form of advertising in most of the Asian BL shows, usually they are introduced discretely. This show, however, seems to be more of a continuous series of product placement with a very lightweight storyline woven through, to the point where it start to have an adverse effect. By the third episode I started developping an absolute dislike of the products that were advertized. Avoid this show. It is a complete and utter waste of time.
