Top Form is an adaptation of the anime Dakaichi: I'm Being Harassed By the Sexiest Man of the Year
Who would have thought that it would be Thailand that would take on the series of this anime. What a great decision.
The director and the scriptwriters deserve a lot of praise. The latter in particular have managed to realise the essence of the story and cut out problematic parts of the story without changing the nature of the characters. Probs.
There were some sound issues in the first episode, but I'll generously look past that.
All in all, I have high hopes and expectations for this crew for future projects. They are brave and manage to tell a good story in an atmospheric setting.
But what would the best story be without the right actors? What can I say, Boom and Smart as Akin (Takato in the anime) and Jin (aka Junta) have literally stepped out of the anime. They are the perfect cast. Their acting with each other is natural, nuanced and very sensual. So much so that in some scenes you get the impression that you've caught them in flagrante delicto and hold your hands in front of your face, blushing. You will never be able to look at honey in the same way again. Honey has lost its innocence with the series....
But you can also feel the doubts, the insecurities, the injuries throughout their bodies. Both deliver a brilliant acting performance. The decision to orientate itself very closely to the anime visually means that some people may be distracted by Jin from time to time.
Personally, I really appreciate the fact that the visuals and story are so close to the original, but that the story is brought up to 2025 by not glamorising sexual assault. Despite everything, dark sides are also legitimately illuminated. We grow into their relationship with Akin and Jin and experience highs and lows. Will there be a happy ending?
This will be added at the end of the series.
I can only say that it is very much worth watching Top Form.
What a discovery and what potential for future BLs has been uncovered here. Props to the cast and crew!
