TV JUNKIE

Step by Step: review

Step by Step is a Thai BL series, produced in 2023.

Jeng, works at his father’s company as a digital marketing manager having a really talented team under him. Pat, is one of these people. Really talented and with fresh ideas is always willing to do his best for the team and the company.

While spending time together for work, Jeng starts having a huge crush on his junior but in order to not bring Pat into a difficult position, manages the opposite. Now Pat believes that Jeng hates him and bullies him.

Truth be told, I had so many hopes for this series but… I got bored. I like office romances, especially if enemies to lovers is the main trope as well and I have no problem with slow burn… but this one was, not for me.

While the series had a nice storyline with interesting characters I believe that they didn’t invest on those as much as they should. Also, the possessive ex that stuck with the main lead until the end was totally unnecessary in my opinion.

My biggest problem was that they gave us a great second lead couple only to not only not explore their relationship but not even let us know if they ended up together at the end. I mean, WHAT’S THE POINT PEOPLE?

Another thing that made me feel a little bit strange was the time jump. In the last episode, we see our characters two years later. But everyone acted as if it had passed like two weeks. It’s impossible for anyone to be the same person after having to see them for so long. I agree that probably you can like someone after that time because we can be attractive to someone that we don’t know… but I don’t buy it that none of them changed at least a little bit.

After all that time, you have to know the other from the start! But anyways, maybe I’m the only one that thinks that way.

In conclusion, you can watch this series if you have nothing else to watch but keep a small basket. Also, if you want something to binge-watch this one is probably not what you’re looking for. Let me know what you think, do you agree or disagree with me? Did anything else bother you or you liked the series?

It’s a 6/10 from me.

Until next time…
