Why R U? (2020)
2/10
Not the best ''BL'' show out there
27 August 2020
I would say the cinematography was pretty great at times, lots of colours, it pops in a good way without being overdone. The acting is not bad, though I do not speak thai well, so I can't really give a better critique of that aspect. Also like the intro music, it fits the themes it wants to have.

My problem starts with the script being all over the place, with jokes that are really hit or miss (mostly miss for me, but that's more subjective. Some jokes worked, but not that many in my opinion). The dialogue is cringeworthy (the subs are at least) and it's not realistic or fun to watch. The pacing is really jerky and not consistent, the development is questionable and not believable. It just seems like a recycled mess from lots of tropes and BL fujoshi fantasy, which just didn't work for me. The couples are bland, but the actors do seem to give it their all, with the material giving to them, which still doesn't save it for me.

A lot could have been written better, and the pacing could use some work. It's not terrible, it passes time if you're into that kind of show, but don't expect quality.
