✨besties✨ who are actually dating but just don’t know it yet

so my thought process about big dragon is complicated to say the least.

when the first trailer came out, I was Hella hyped for bd. like it was soo intriguing to me, I couldn't wait for it to come out. I mightve watched that trailer like a 100 times already. and yk what made it more anticipated? Mos's eyes. Yk how Rm (Bts) has the eyes to whom the Army refer to as dragon eyes?? yeah imo Mos has similar eyes. and his gaze is soo intense like it makes u glued in your place but also vibrating with nervousness at the same time.

like look at him????? he's just standing there yet here i am, shaking in my fucking boots. like mans is even smiling!!

BUT then came the new trailer. my very first, honest to everything I believe in reaction was, " why does this seem like a watered doen version of the original trailer?". and I was wayy less hyped and inclined to watch it.

still I decided to to give it a chance and I've caught up to the 3(?) episoded available until now. and daammmnnnnn.

this series is NOT disappointing. is it what I originally had in mind? no definitely not. but in more ways than not, it is better. it is sooo much better. and here's a few things that I personally appreciate.

1. Yai's relationship with his father.

yai has a complicated relationship w his father. impo, he loves his father dearly but doesn't support his father's decision to move on(?) from his mother (? I'm assuming she's not alive anymore). but he still listens to his dad and talks pretty openly with him

similar to yai, I think khun Barom also loves his son dearly, but he's just not able to understand how, and what, his sin thinks. but till now, he seems like a good man who doesn't really order his son to do and/or to not do a specific thing.

2. yai didn't beat himself over when he realized he was attracted to mangkorn.

I appreciate this sooo much. because usually we see characters going out of their way to avoid said crush and deny everything to themselves and require heavy outside intervention to even entertain the thought. Yai didn't need or do all this. he was definitely conflicted over how he felt, but he didn't tell himself it was just his imagination and there was no way he was attracted to mangkorn. he wasnt just understanding why it was happening. he even talked to da about this.

3. the way both Mangkorn and Yai didn't make a huge deal out of both of them spending time together.

I can't express how God those few scenes made me feel when they were I the car, at Mangkorn's special spot, at the dessert place and when mangkorn bought yai food. they were definitely a little awkward around each other but mangkorn was used to yai yelling at/threatening him and then giving some smart-ass replies while yai was used to doing the threatening and receiving those smart-ass replies so a civil conversation was very weird. but they didn't sit there and psycho analyse why and what changed. they went with the flow. they were bickering over the dessert and stealing from each other's plates and joking around and that was that. no one stopped to think "oh wait what am I being so friendly with the enemy".

Not boyfriends. Not a couple. Not at all.

Bonus: Product placement!
