In the scene where Orn says Nubsib and Gene are the same age, the inference was that they belong to the same generation. Since we only have the subtitles to make sense of what we are seeing, I do hope their diction improves in the future. I’m not a Thai speaker conversationally, but I did notice when the English subtitles glossed over words and changed their meanings. If you’re BL enthusiast like me, who attempts to learn the language, after watching shows for a year or so, then I’m sure you can understand my feelings. But that is how the show uses a bulk of the main cast until midway when the characters get almost entire sections of an episode dedicated to them. I understand the part where they choose to focus on Nubsib and Gene for two episodes, so people can fall in love with their cat and mouse games and feel their chemistry.īut having an independent woman (Tiffy) with a same-sex romantic past, who seems to actually be bisexual as well as a young man (Aey) who has serious daddy issues, a troubled past, as well as more than a school boy crush feelings for his co-star, it seems a bit of a waste to reduce them to afterthoughts, especially if both have strong ties to the rest of the cast. The same goes for Aey as well, another character with loads of back story and conflicts but he is relegated to being an eye candy with a lustful eye for Nubsib until the later episodes. But it takes six episodes for her to recognize her self-worth due to the limited screen time. For example, Tiffy is like a model, has a strong personality and very interesting backstory.

The side character’s storyline is where the writing seems to falter as the scriptwriter seems a bit unsure on how to best use them. I enjoyed the subtle way the script changes Gene’s character to shine light on the various side characters who enter his life courtesy of his novel adaptation “Bad Engineer”. His daily habits change as he begins to gravitate towards Nubsib. While Gene remains the same crotchety grouch on the outside in the initial episodes, in the succeeding episodes he changes his behavior and habits as he grows closer to Nubsib. Even in private when he acts sweet, Nubsib can quickly flip to serious mode when Gene hurts himself (Gene spills boiling water on his hand and won’t stay still until Nubsib orders him to). Kao perfectly acts as the guard dog Nubsib who stays close to Gene at all times, creating a sense of almost guardian level presence. I get it, they aren’t politically correct, but he is a 21 years old with an old-fashioned mindset.
Like I personally like how Nubsib loves to order Gene around (it’s cute). I don’t have a problem with these elements per se, as each individual is different and their negative qualities also make them who they are. Although, fans seem to have a “love & hate” relationship with these elements, they maintain the fundamental makeup of all the characters for better or worse. From assigning stereotypes to characters some find insulting (Tum’s effeminate acting as he pretends to be the make-up artist), to Nubsib’s controlling and possessive nature whenever he is around Gene (Nubsib loves to take over control, whenever he seemingly walks into any conversation that Gene is having with someone else).

It is likely impossible to create a functioning series without the “problematic” or “toxic” elements, that the fans seem to love or hate.
While most praise the series for the random shots fired at the approach, modern BL series display, I can’t help but notice it highlights the same things it demonizes. What I personally find interesting and at the same time confounding about this series is the writing. ( This review covers Episodes 2 to 7 so expect spoilers.) As the first episode ends, Gene finds himself at a conjecture to decide whether to let Nubsib move into his apartment or not. The series features the two set against the colorful backdrop of a BL television series called “Bad Engineer” based on the novel of the same name written by Gene. The hit series “Lovely Writer The Series” has charmed hearts across the world with the sweet love story between overtly romantic young actor Nubsib and his crush on older grumpy writer Gene.
