My Engineer, S1, Ep1: a Thai BL Series in Review

Published: Oct. 28, 2020, 1:18 a.m.

In this episode of Check It/Round Table Onna discusses how she was looking for something a bit light-hearted and funny to have with her barbecued beef Kale pizza last night and My Engineer, season 1, episode 1, fit the bill. This episode starts with Bohn who is named Prom King and is getting his pictures taken along with the second runner-up in the contest, who are surrounded by some fan girls, whom Onna found bloody annoying.   Onna considers how Bohn meets Duen, and the Proper Way to wake someone up (it involves 12" difference in space and quiet tapping and asking someone to "wake up)"  As the story progresses, Bohn forces Duene to bring a flower for Bohn every morning from a flower street seller who is a child because he discussed it with his much younger sister who told him that he should follow through on a promise even if silly because he promised to.  Onna has a shout out to Ryan Ping, who portrayed Mek, and did a great job portraying someone with pent up emotions and being thoughtful and kind and the difficulty of saying something/not saying something, a shout-out to Nakhun Screaigh for his portrayal of Ram who defends his friends with a quiet support of solidarity and his comradely with the character of King portrayed by Talay Sanguandikul, who is a great comedic relief.  Onna concludes with the one thing she did like how Bohn asked Duene later on in this series as their relationship progressed to move in with him, not for romantical reasons, but because he liked his presence.  It's all here.  It's all real.
