Fell off towards the end, but overall a great watch
Starting off, I want to say this BL series has an incredible storyline. It effortlessly blends together romantic, sad, and funny scenes, making you go through a rollercoaster of emotions every episode.
As I went it blind, I still had pretty high expectations seeing all the high rating reviews, and I wasn't disappointed.
The time-traveling trope hooked me in from the first episode, coupled with all the compassion I had for the main character, Jom. I left completely attached to all he was going through, as if Ohm had carved a hole in my heart as well.
As for the main couple, I loved their chemistry so much. The creators weren't scared to show some intimate, vulnerable scenes between them, and I'm genuinely grateful for that.
The second couple, Fongkaew and Ueangphueng, were also fine. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that we needed more scenes delving into their relationship, mostly because they are already together at the beginning of the series, and they don't elaborate on how they fell in love at all. Their future seems to be uncertain, as the last episode leaves me rather confused.
One character in this series that deserves more love is James. Although at the beginning I thought he was going to be stuck as a generic second lead, he proved himself to be so much more than that. He is a walking green flag and they should consider giving him a spin-off series where he finally finds love
What ultimately led me to rate this series an 8.5 were the final three episodes. I won't go into details, as to avoid spoilers, but instead of keeping the same pacing as all the other episodes, they decided to wrap up the main conflict early and keep us wondering about the future of our main character for a bit. It was unbearably slow, worsened by the inclusion of unnecessary scenes that ended up creating major plot holes. I honestly feel they could have handled those episodes better.
In conclusion, despite its flaws, I would recommend this series to any fan of the genre.
