I love classic movies but unfortunately this one was boring and delivered little compared to the hype it's getting, since it's considered as one of the best movies in history i had a lot of expectations and it's disappointing to see how not good enough it was, the acting was so average, it was long with many unnecessary scenes, characters that lack depth and not well dosed pacing, i enjoyed many other Hitch movies and he's a legendary director but this is my least favorite movie of him and i really can't understand all the hype.

I started this series expecting an average romcom but i got really surprised with the quality of this show.

Direction wise it was really interesting and different from other BLs, the cinematography feels very realistic but beautiful especially the colour palette and the filter they used, the way it's shot is very pleasant to watch and add depth to the scenes and characters.

Acting wise we can see how both actors improved from the short version and their chemistry was really the shining point. It was sweet and effortless i can understand why they are so popular among the BL fans.

The plot is not new and we already know what's gonna happen next but it's still enjoyable and fun to watch especially with the cute chemistry Mark and Vee got on screen.

This is my first time watching a Thai show and the 1st few episodes were really promising, the acting was good, the cinematography and the locations were interesting, the production value really looked huge, they also did a good job with the way they introduced the audience to the characters and the mafia world.

But with every episode the plot starts having many holes and some characters started getting disconnected from the dark mafia world they built and made us invested in since the 1st episodes, the kinn and porsche characters had those romantic scenes it almost felt like i was watching another show, our main character Kinn went from being head of mafia everybody wanted dead to a lover who can enjoy his dates and love life without any threats, Porsche character too after the brilliant scene with his little brother in the 1st episode and the sacrifice he did for him the character transformed to a superficial and reckless guy who is busy feeling jealous and being in love, no depth really showed in their character development and it was really disappointing, but i am sure the fans who only care about their ship being in love are satisfied.

The only arc that was consistent and fitted the mafia world was Vagas and pete, these 2 characters stole the show even if their story started few episodes before the show ended, can we just talk about how phenomenal the acting was, their scenes were so intense and raw, the depth and the complexity of their characters and the different emotions portrayed deserve an appreciation, Vegas is probably the most complex and well written character in this show, he has so many layers and aspects it's just so good to see a psycho villain written in such way which is not superficial. Vegaspete story really carried the last episodes of this series with only few scenes they appeared in.

The last episode was such a disappointment, the action wasn't well executed, the plot twists were so sudden and too much it failed to make it interesting, maybe if they placed all those events that happened in 2 episodes it wouldn't feel underwhelming and the pacing would match the rest of the show, because we can all agree that the ending was rushed and messy.

Overall this was an enjoyable experience that made me get into Thai series, it wasn't flawless but it wasn't totally bad either.
