...but this series doesn't have much else going for it...

I think, like many others before me, the title mislead me. But that's because I thought the show was foremost a BL (Boy's Love). I realized from the first episode on that it was actually first a FL (FOOD's Love) and THEN a BL. "Bite Me" as in: "Don't you want to have a taste of this sumptuous food we are filming? Don't you feel like taking the phone and order something while watching our show?"

SYNOPSIS:

A cute boy (Mark) works for a company that delivers FOOD. One day, he goes to a new restaurant where a customer has ordered FOOD that he must deliver. The chef realises that this cute boy knows a lot about FOOD. So he decides to give him a job at his restaurant where they can make FOOD together. He falls in love with the boy and the show is about how they get together while making FOOD, entering contests about FOOD and, hopefully, they can make FOOD together for the rest of their lives...

STORY:

Paper thin. They devote so much time to plans about FOOD, that the rest doesn't get much chance te develop. Too many characters, not enough time to get to know them. The lead actor is the FOOD. The two would-be leads are the main couple and as much as we root for them because they're nice people who look good, we don't know much about what makes them tick. The payoff (if it can be called that) is there, but it doesn't feel deserved at all.
The secondary characters are so under developped that there's not much to say about them. There's even a secondary couple that you can find between plans of FOOD if you squint. They don't have much chemistry but they're there...

ACTING:

The FOOD is the star of the show. It always looks good and really knows how to work the camera.
The two leads are OK. Mark looks cute and can tear up when it's time to. I didn't feel much chemistry between him and Zung but they did look good together.
Aek's friends are all forgettable. I don't know much about the actors but they feel very green.
Aek's mum is a stand out for me.
The staff of the restaurant are equally forgettable. Not because of their acting but because we spend barely any time with any of them.

MUSIC:

I don't pay much attention to music in BL shows because I generally don't like it apart from a few exceptions. Here, it didn't bother me, so I guess that's good.

REWATCH VALUE:

This is a BL series with a beautiful cinematography and lovely plans about FOOD sprinkled with Mark cuteness but not much else. Tons of potential resulting in little more than a gigantic ad for Thaï FOOD. I like FOOD and I do think Mark is cute, but it's not enough for me.
