I watched this series because I was curious about Sorn's character and whether he'd actually grow or change.
My Stubborn isn't your typical fluffy BL. It's a tough watch. Sorn acts like a jealous, possessive boyfriend toward Jun, yet reminds him they're just sex buddies and there are no feelings involved. And Jun? He just lets it happen. They're both toxic. It was frustrating to watch at times.
Sorn's the prideful type he didn't want to admit he liked Jun, even though it was obvious. Their relationship started out as sex buddies and slowly turned into something more. Honestly, I found that part pretty realistic. Stuff like that really happens.
Sorn's character is definitely a walking red flag, he seriously got on my nerves. He keeps calling Jun a kid when Jun is clearly a grown man. That said, the actor who played Sorn killed it. And Jun's actor nailed the role too stubborn, kind of clueless at times. But when Jun finally stood up for himself and disappeared, it was so satisfying. I actually cheered seeing Sorn all desperate and running after him.
Do I think Sorn loved Jun? Yes. But he was a coward about it. Even after admitting his feelings, the way he treated Jun didn't change much. Their chemistry was okay, not mind-blowing, but it worked. Sorn is a flawed character, and that actually added a bit of realism to the story, because there are people like him in real life.
My Stubborn isn't a light or feel-good series. It's toxic, messy, and frustrating. I've seen others complain about Sorn's character and I get it. But again, it's realistic. If you can't handle flawed characters or morally grey love interests, maybe skip this one.
