2. For me, watching this is like an exercise in advanced futility. With each episode, all I can see are more and more boys who have a crush on another boy with some characters having multiple people desiring them but none of them act on it. The exception is Kim and Sun, played by Ohm and Fluke, whose characters in UWMA were so memorable but are totally different here, where Ohm has the beauty and emotion of alabaster and Fluke, as always, is cute and fragile. Here, Sun likens Kim to a heartless zombie. He shows his caring side to him repeatedly, then suddenly he’ll be cold and ruthless. It’s this side he shows to another boy who wants to get close to him but is continually rebuffed. His popular older brother Rain, captain of the rugby team, is the object of attention from Payoo, the son of their butler. He drives both brothers around as required and is there to help them in any way. Shun, who is a friend of Sun and also in the rugby team, definitely has a crush on Rain, but he is completely unaware of it as some of his moments with Payoo show that if either of them lets their guard down they’d be all over each other. They may be a side couple, but gosh, their chemistry is much better. Sadly, I don’t think their ship is going to set sail, as much as I’d like it to. (If memory serves me correct, in the Thai series ‘Love Stage!’ there was a similar side couple, Tee and Jet, Tee being the older brother of Anda. He had a secret relationship with Jet, the family manager, so there is a precedent for Rain and Payoo to express their love for each other.)

   Concerning the production, I find it distracting and a bit annoying that tiny moments are repeated in quick succession sometimes. My other criticism is the music score, which is performed by a synthesiser except for the guitar. I feel that when the orchestra is playing, even though it looks realistic and Kim looks like he is actually playing the cello, the music for these scenes is just weak and soppy and certainly not suitable to be performed at a major rugby match. The piece they’re supposed to be playing (I hate the professor calling it a song; it’s not) is a concertante work for cello, guitar and orchestra, which is unusual in itself (there’s nothing in the classical repertoire for that combination) and it’s just a shame AIS didn’t spend a bit more money on getting someone to compose something more appropriate and have it played by a real cellist with a real orchestra. Those gripes aside, I’m finding this BL series most engrossing if a little slow but hopefully it will soon move on to some of these relationships becoming established, though of course, that of Kim and Sun will, but how it gets there will be very interesting.
