We are still in episode 6 right now, but this series already left a big impression on me. First of all, I believe, at this point, this story can't go wrong. We are right in the middle, but the story-telling is very consistent, it flows smoothly. At first the story may seem too quick: we meet the characters and the character are interested in each other almost immediately. I'm not a fan of things like this, I don't believe in love at first sight, but it surprised me with a nice pace. We didn't get people that met and are all over each other saying "I love you" after three episodes, we have people that met and felt attracted to each other and that's it. They go on with their lives, stealing glances and feeling a little jealous sometimes. But then we watch them slowly becoming close, the attraction that was there becoming something more. And of course, PondPhuwin's chemistry plays a big role in making this believable. It's GMMTV, there's a few, about 3 couples that have actual good chemistry and for this setting, PondPhuwin was a right choice. Not gonna lie, I was scared they couldn't deliver when it comes to acting, but I was surprised they got so much better after FUTS.
The bodyguard trope is something that was used SO MANY times in romance media already, but this one is really interesting. Nueng always tried to place Palm by his side as his friend, not as bodyguard. We don't have any kind of power play in here, so even though Nueng is a rich boy and Palm's boss, he doesn't use it to be above him in any way (you don't exist, drunk Nueng).
And obviously, we can't talk about this series without mentioning the AMAZING cinematography. The cinematography of this series is breathtaking. When it comes to BL, this one is easily one of the top ones.
