**At least the music was good** To be fair I went into this knowing full well that this was plotless smut and so I had full expectations that what I would be watching would be trash lol. Sometimes I just want to watch some mindless trash though and not give anything too much thought. But genuinely even with the bar set low I still felt a little disappointed. The acting was not great, it improved throughout the series, but the beginning was very rough. The production quality looked like garbage, the first couple episodes were especially bad. I checked and then double checked that this series was made in 2025 cause the episodes looked like something from 2015, again it improved as the series progressed, it was around episode 4 when it started to look like a modern BL series filmed on an actual camera instead of on someone's phone. The sex scenes, which are meant to be the main focus of the series, were also not that great. They just looked messy tbh. None of the side couples piqued my interest either, I honestly wish the writers had opted to not have any and instead put more focus on SornJun, but I suppose there would have had to be an actual plotline for them to do that lol. There were a few things I did like though. There was open communication about what type of relationship the couple would be having and when the feelings changed they openly told each other about it. Love to see it. Sorn turning into a complete simp for Jun was absolutely adorable. I adore a clingy/cuddly seme. Sorn's character development is seriously the main reason why I didn't rate this series a 5, I dedicated a whole star for those hugs and forehead kisses. Lastly, the music selection. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the music in this series. It was clearly catering to an international audience since they were mostly english speaking songs. None of the songs were overplayed and there was a good variety of soft and fast paced songs which worked very well with the intimate scenes. I definitely plan to hunt down the names of them so I can add them to my playlist. Also the special episodes, definitely better than the main series. If you manage to get through the 12 episodes of trash than I would recommend watching the 2 specials (I rated them a 7). They were much better quality and the sex scenes were much more fun to watch. If the energy they brought into the specials is what they bring into *Knot* than I'll definitely be looking forward to that series as well. General info for anyone wanting to know: • Is it nsfw/spicy? Yes. It shows the full sex scenes (and there are a lot of them) even though it does not show any nudity from the waist down. • Is there violence? Nope. No violence, no trauma, no tragic backstories, just two guys having a lot of sex. • Is there noncon? Surprisingly, no. There are a few scenes where Sorn begins by forcing himself onto Jun (ie pushing him against a wall and kissing him), but he always asks for consent before they initiate any actual intimacy. • Love triangles? Despite rampant jealousy and possessiveness, no there weren't any love triangles. • Are the specials worth watching? Yes, read review above for more details. • And the Beard? Don't worry it only lasts for a few seconds. Like jfc what was the style team doing to poor Boat? I don't even know how anyone kept a straight face during that scene.
