My Gear And Your Gown (2020)

Expectativas

“My Gear and Your Gown”, es un bl con lo más clásico y característico de las producciones tailandesas. Este bl es excelente si lo que buscas es pasar el rato apreciando lo más clásico de Tailandia, una historia linda de una calidad buena (obviamente característica de la GMM) y una historia fácil de llevar.
Cabe aclarar que mi querido Fiat se lleva todas las flores, y literalmente sobre paso a todos los demás actores.
Personalmente pienso que las malas reseñas que podemos encontrar de esta serie son a partir de las expectativas demasiado altas, cuando con solo leer la sinopsis podemos ver que no hay ningún factor sorpresa y es la típica serie tailandesa de jóvenes estudiantes que se enamoran.
En mi opinión es una serie altamente recomendable, y es uno de los pocos bl’s de este año que han logrado atraparme, pero sobre gustos no hay nada escrito. Denle una oportunidad y saquen sus propias conclusiones acerca de la historia.

If My Gear and Your Gown had come out a couple of years ago, I would have given it a higher rating. But BLs have come a long way since then. Overall, this was a pleasant enough diversion from everyday activity, that's all. Here are my pros and cons:

PROS:

LIKEABLE ACTORS. I found some of the actors adorable: Win (Pai) played a loveable, shy nerd, Fiat (Pure) is sassy and cute; Neen (Beau) is so sweet, while AJ (Waan) is so cute you just want to pinch his cheeks. Back to Win: I liked the way he played introverted Pai, and his bitter weeping in the final episode was heartbreaking.

GOOD MESSAGES. The Pure/AIDS storyline seemed a bit sudden and severe, but it's never a bad idea to promote safe sex. The final episode dealt (a little bit) with homophobia and acceptance from parents. I liked Folk's line (paraphrasing): "Parents are usually fine with it unless it affects them personally." Sadly, that's often very true.

CONS:

DULL STORY. For me, it started out well enough, but then just lagged. I felt the story could have been told in half the amount of episodes. And the Pure/playboy thing was maxed out. At the end, when Pure apologized to Folk for cheating on him, he said "but I was thinking of you the whole time." Barf.

WEAK CHEMISTRY. While Itt is a handsome guy, has chemistry with Pai was practically non-existent, and Itt's character was just weak. I wasn't really sold and Pure/Folk, either, but I did like Waan/Beau (would have liked to see them with more screen time as a couple).

FRESHY CONTEST: As much as I liked Pai, there is no freaking way he could have won that contest! Everything he did was a complete failure. I get that Pai wins in the story but, at the very least, the scriptwriters could have given him some sort of believable talent. As it was, Pai's win was incomprehensible, unless every other competitor was in a coma.

Overall, I enjoyed it well enough. Nothing groundbreaking here, I give it a 6.5.
