This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...
Honestly, this six-episode series was a total slog. Each episode is nearly an hour long, but there’s absolutely nothing new here. The plot is about as basic as it gets, there’s zero drama to keep things interesting, and everything just drags on forever. I kept wondering what the point even was—like, why bother making a series if you have nothing to say? It felt like the creators didn't care about telling a story at all and just wanted to focus on "cute" couple moments.
The story is about Meen, a guy who lives a pretty quiet, boring life on his own. He finds a stray dog in his backyard and decides to keep it, but his peace and quiet get wrecked when his mom sends Tul, her friend’s son, to live with him in Chiang Mai. Meen is super protective of his new dog and hates the idea of a roommate, so he tries everything he can to kick Tul out. Of course, he eventually realizes that Tul loves the dog just as much as he does. Tul has this clingy, puppy-dog personality that eventually melts Meen’s heart and gets it beating for the first time. At the same time, we've got a side story with another couple in their friend group who are also dog lovers. They meet by chance and fall in love pretty fast. There was a little bit of potential to make that side plot meaningful, but it just ended up being as boring as the main one.
Both of these romances are incredibly bland, and I didn't feel any chemistry between the leads at all. It’s hard to blame the actors entirely because the script and direction are so weak that the characters feel totally one-dimensional. Even the kisses and more intimate scenes felt forced and just... off. The pacing was painfully slow, the characters were dull, and there was no weight to the story. Honestly, the only scenes I actually liked were the ones with the dog, probably because I’ve been watching way too many dog videos lately. Other than the cute pup, there’s really nothing worth mentioning. It’s a complete waste of time.
It’s an incredibly boring and empty show that lacks any real heart or spark, making it one you should definitely skip. (2/10)
