Not perfect........but close
I will definitely rewatch this drama.....however as good as it was it wasn't perfect. I will begin with some of the things I enjoyed though and go from there.
- Phayu's character was definitely, only to be underscored when I realised this was Boss's first drama (I mean wow the boy can act). The character was multi faceted and nicely balanced. Yes, he was pushy at times but he never went over the line, even though the writers did blur the line at times, when Rain made his stand clear. I enjoyed it greatly.
- The chemistry between the cast was amazing. not just between the couples but between the friends. they couldn't have chosen a better cast for this, you could really tell that the 4 leads got along brilliantly.
- The supporting cast were great, not one of the supporting roles let it down, they all acted well and bought something to the table, making the world richer.
- the cinematography was fantastic, with the bike races, the school and even the two showdowns (of Phayu in the warehouse and Prapai in his condo), you can tell they put some effort into it.
- the story worked together well. Originally its from 2 separate books but they managed to link the main cast in such a way that the story followed on without too much of hitch.
What i didn't like about it mainly comes down to 2 points.
- Prapai's character is set up at the beginning as a bad boy racer but soon becomes a pushover who has that edge taken off him. They managed to keep the edge on the phayu character while making the relationship work, and yes the sky/prapai relationship is different. But changing this confident, bad boy into a love strewn pushover, just changed the characters base idea too much for me.
-The plot. Now i mentioned I liked how they melded the two stories into one earlier, and I did. What I didn't like so much is the execution of it. The series is 13 episodes long (not counting the special episode) and it is basically spilt into almost 2 mini series. 7 episodes where phayu and rain are the leads, and prapai and sky are the second couple, then ep 8 onwards as Prapai/sky as the main cp with phayu/rain as the secondary leads. It even changed the theme music halfway through as well as the credits, and you begin again with the story (admittedly not for long). It just didn't work for me, I felt there were better ways they could have done it.
Over all though it was a great show and one I will definitely be revisiting. It is worth a watch if you like BL dramas.
However a warning...........It earns its 18+ rating!
