Not My Usual Cup Of Tea
I stumbled upon this series only after watching the second trailer of "Never Let Me Go." As someone who isn't particularly fond of high school BLs, I never had this series on my radar. However, I can't believe I almost missed out on this delightful gem. Pond and Phuwin, whom I had no idea about before, have now become my favorite BL ship. It's quite bewildering because, by all accounts, I shouldn't have enjoyed this series with all its tropes, annoying sound effects, and intrusive shippers.
Surprisingly, this series is more of a gay drama disguised as a BL, as both boys are gay and aware of it. Pi's yearning for Nan and Mork's longing for Pi make both boys gay. For a first-time actor like Pond, he did an excellent job portraying Mork, while Phuwin's performance as Pi outshined his subsequent one as Nuengdiao.
Though I didn't particularly care for Duean and Meen's story, I must admit that Neo and Louise did a commendable job in their roles.
What amazed me most is how I found myself enjoying this fluffy series. It wasn't all magical rainbows and unicorns, even with Pi's makeover. His life remained messy as he pursued someone who wasn't interested in him. Mork's good looks and kindness didn't make it any easier for him to win Pi's heart. Even after they became a couple, their journey wasn't smooth; Bam came between them, causing their breakup. Throughout their trials and tribulations, Pi faced privacy invasion from creepy shippers and bullying after his "ugly duckling" story was exposed.
Yet, despite all the challenges, the ending wasn't filled with rainbows and unicorns, but rather colorful balloons. The series showed the realities of their relationship, with misunderstandings leading to a temporary breakup. But eventually, the misunderstandings were resolved, leading to a heartwarming conclusion.
Perhaps that's why I found myself loving this series, even though it falls under the high school BL category. It's the authenticity and relatability of their journey that captivated my heart and made this series truly special.
