This Thai BL is set in the 1960s, and while it's a love story at its heart, it feels a lot more pure and honest than most. It really captures that difficult, long battle of fighting to love who you want and giving your heart to the person you actually choose. It shows how winning that fight usually means getting hurt along the way. The show is a real slow-burn romance that mixes trust and betrayal with some pretty intense emotional moments. When you add in the sneaky relatives, the political backstabbing, and a suspiciously high number of evil adults, the show becomes a pretty long watch. It's 12 episodes that are about an hour each, and the very last one runs for almost two hours. The story takes place in the 60s when the political regime is changing, and a military leader wants to take all the property away from the kings and princely families. Since he doesn't have another choice, the king sends his son, Prince Saenkaew, to Bangkok to stay at the home of one of his close...
Aha!! Now this movie was interesting. The topic of an individual struggling with his sexuality still intrigues me. If done in a unique and interesting way, this topic can still manage to hold one's attention and this film managed to do exactly this. It was a very interesting idea, developed differently, a bit slow but the lead man Leo was so attractive and good looking, it doesn't harm to watch the slow pace of the film.Easy-going but secretly troubled college student Leo is thrown when his girlfriend – fed up that he can’t get it up – dumps him. He knows he’s gay or at least he thinks so but can't admit to himself forget admitting it to his psychiatrist, his supportive mother or his stoner roommate. One day he meets his old female friend from primary school Caro and they both become very good friends. Caro looks a little messed up but soon a friendship starts growing between them. In the meantime Leo also meets a handsome man Sebastian and they start a beautiful relationship which usually doesn't go outside Leo's room. Initially its fine but soon Seb gets frustrated because this is an example of Leo not accepting who he really is. Leo is scared, very scared. Seb leaves him asking him to first figure himself out and then come back to him. In the meantime, Leo finds out that Caro has been taking depression medicines and wants to find out the reason which he soon does. Apparently when Caro's nephew died, she was with him and her sister blames her for the death. After Leo's visit to Car's sister, things change and the sister forgives Caro. She is cheerful now. Leo feels better. The movie ends with Leo taking a break and wanting to do a road trip to figure himself out.
While dealing with topics of sexual suppression and self-awareness, the film remains light and often hilariously funny, specially by the presence of Leo's stoned out roommate who knows a lot more than he’s letting on. Leo has done a fabulous job in the film as a man struggling with himself, with his mother and his found true friend. The film keep you intrigued and you want to know what's going to happen. I thoroughly enjoyed the film. I want to see more of these kind of films.
Must watch and a very good experience. (7.5/10)
