A BL fantasy worth watching.

I've reached episode 10, so my ratings may change later after the series are completed, and may add a few more things to this review later.

I must say there are some episodes which seem to drag too long, and become somewhat boring (especially episode 8) but I'm still watching it. I've never seen the acting of the two main leads before, and they're really good. Job Tuchapon Koowongbundit was great acting as the temperamental, somewhat abusive and unlikeable, adult Nut, but wow what a change when he becomes the shy, insecure, teenage schoolboy Nut. In Sarin Ronnakiat played his role well as cute, sweet, curious Tofu, but then suddenly has a different body language when he becomes the cool, popular, (assumingly) straight basket ball athlete, Nueng.

Ok, now I've completed watching this series and whew, it is both tiring and exciting for me. Watching a 16 x 90 minutes show was too long, but I somehow did not give up. When at first they said there were only 15 episodes, I was a bit surprised when I watched Episode 15, how come it did not seem to end? There were still mysteries that had to be answered, and yet it was made into a forced happy ending with the two main leads spending a holiday in a beach resort. But wait, how come they still have previews for the next episode? Surprise, surprise, it did turn out to be a 16-episode series like many others.

Now episode 15 for me was overwhelming. Too many twists and too many mysteries were unfold at the same time, and yet there were more that were not yet answered. The biggest question I had each time I saw each episode was: when is Tofu going to reveal that he IS Tofu the Teddy Bear? Tofu may have many questions in mind, but at least one thing he knows is that he was Nut's Teddy Bear. He could have told Nut earlier, but then maybe there wouldn't be much of a story if he did.

This was certainly a different kind of BL compared to the ones I've seen before. Yes, there were always family matters, but this one was more complex with issues of sibling rivalry, jealousy, having an abusive father and a weak mother with mental health problems, The story line also included workplace interactions, political activism, capitalism vs enviromentalism, and (attempted) murder. Yet all these matters were perfectly seamed into the story, without us have to think this is heavy stuff.

I loved both Job and In Sarin's acting. Job in particular, did a great job playing the role of an abusive, introverted guy with many traumatic experiences in the past. I give my thumbs up to both of them! The other supporting actors/actresses also played their roles really well. The ending was sad, very sad, but I knew that it would have to be that way, but final scenes made the ending also sweet at the same time. Love this series, but may have to wait a few months before I rewatch it.
