Step by Step

I was driven by 'Hom Klin Kwam Rak' to this series. An informative P'Tee directorial under P'Boss production house. Let me start talking about elements that didn't work for me: Difference of height, Dissimilar economic circle, Typical boss-falling-for-employee scenario with obvious relationship roles despite an egalitarian environment, 'Pat' and 'Put' dynamic resembling sibling love than the desired portrayal are some of the constraints. Man Trisanu for 'Jeng' while Ben Bunyabol for 'Pat' were apt for their roles individually yet their rapport failed to reign spring. If i didn't guess it wrong, Man has appeared in The Face Men Thailand. Certain episodes stretched into boredom unnecessarily. We know from the not-so-direct promotion in ep 11 that it has been adapted from a novel called 'Khoi Khoi Rak' by Summer December. Mark and Bruce, lots of love. I accredit the script-writing team because romance along the plot emphasizes ritual touching in surrendered admiration rather than ravenous intimacy. Of course office culture with jargons of digital advertising world, settings and facts about entertainment industry were correctly portrayed.

This BL is about problematic love between a manager and his subordinate. The plot is pretty simple, the cliche about a forbidden relationship at the workplace. Usually the problem comes from the co-workers. That's kind of the selling point of this series. I like stories about love at the workplace, so this one is right up my alley. I like the couple choice for this series. I can feel the chemistry, it's electric. The acting for most casts are decent, except for the main character. I think he needs to work on his crying skill. Cause when Ben cried, it looked a bit forced. It didn't look natural. Also the part where Pat didn't believe it when Jeng confessed his love was a bit far-fetched. Kinda weird to me. Like it's being inserted into the plot forcefully even when it's illogical. That's why I took 1 star from my initial rating.
