Thanks also to those on YouTube for the English subs [uncut] as without them we would never have know such wonderful talent.

For the negatives, the acting is a little awkward in the beginning, but as the drama progresses and the actors become more comfortable, it gets much better. Also, you have make sure you find a proper subber. The first time I watched the first episode, I was as confused as Psyduck. After finding a more accurate translation, it become more understandable and more enjoyable.
The music has surprisingly low ratings compared to other categories, and I can understand. It's not mind-blowingly perfect, but I find that after a few episodes, it's very easy to get hooked to. Looking up the lyrics to the songs also helps, because they are very connected to the drama, and it makes you appreciate it more.
Overall, this is a drama I would happily recommend to anyone who is interested on some cute guy on guy love. I'd also recommend it to anyone who is simply curious about it, or enjoys cute romance regardless of the genders in question. It's great for almost anyone :)

Story:
Make It Right's story is definitely not new for (Thai) LGBT shows, but I don't wanna go into what the story is about and how it develops. I just want to mention what I found interesting or new for the genre/series like these
- the dynamic between the characters. You could clearly recognize the more active partner in the relationships (e.g. the one who chases after the other) which I found was a nice change from the "who's more active" guessing.
- there is like no (!) focus on the background at all. Here and there you'll get some hints, like someone being rich or someone's parents making a short appearance but otherwise everything stayed in the background and was really just there to support the story development.
- There are three main couples. The first and main one is cute and nice and has a steady development. Their development just stops a little bit when the series decides to focus on the others for a few episodes. The second couple, which is actually my favourite, is between the class leader and a playboy. They had an interesting beginning and you couldn't be sure what would happen next or how they would react to some things. They were just...freaking adorable!!! Here the problem was, that compared to the 2nd couple the problems and misunderstanding between the main couple seemed quite baseless and childish which kind of made me love the 2nd one better that the main one. The third couple also has a nice dynamic and was cute and interesting. They had some funny scenes with each other.
Cast/Acting:
The acting in the beginning was awkward to say the least. Maybe because you don't know the characters yet maybe because it was the first episode, I don't know, but it gets better (and not just because you get used to it). Big compliments to the guy who played Frame...I think he was the best of them all.
What I also have to mention: The chemistry is good. They seemed to be comfortable with each other which is important for a good romance.
Music:
Even though they reused their title song quite often I wasn't annoyed by it. In general a good choice of songs, although just two songs stayed in my mind.
Rewatch:
Definitely. They are all just too adorable.
So, overall, I definitely recommend MIR to everyone who watched shows like Love Sick and also everyone else who wants to see a nice series about some couples falling in love and facing some problems while getting to know each other.
Seriously the biggest citic I can find on MIR: Too much and too obvious advertising...

The story and the plot sounds very promising and interesting but somehow in a way or another there was something lacking with the show. Maybe I was looking for more, maybe I don't like the execution.
Some acting made me cringe a little bit but I can understand since the actors here are still young and just starting acting.
Book and Frame has been my favorite couple in here, they're very cute and adorable to look, they're the only reason actually that I have to hold on with the show because for most part of it was just off for me.

Main couple i just too boring plus acting was cringe soooo bad.
Only frame and book were only ones who really make me watch 2 seasons.
It;s really sad bcuz whole drama have good plot and nice looking actors, but it's just too boring 80% of time, and there is too much girly acting main couple who whining about everyting and can't make decision about anything.
Like i said book and frame were amazing from their first time meeting as not friends to whole eps that their relationship growing up.

I don't know about anyone else, but The Hormones Series totally set the standards for the best Thai dramas. Though Hormones is not exclusively a gay/BL drama, I still think it gave its gay characters growth throughout the first two seasons and set the bar for plot and acting in any Thai dramas that follows after it.Make it Right is adorable and has a love-able cast!
However, Make It Right is drawn out for way too long. This story could have easily been told in half as many episodes. Most of the acting was amateur-ish, especially Frame's character, but even so, the cast still had a way of pulling you into the story.
The product advertising was a bit of a throw-off, a bit excessive.
Lastly, trigger warning (trigger warnings hold precedence over spoilers), there are two scenes in which characters engage in unconsensual sex. Watch at your own risk, and unlike the series wants to make you believe, understand that we should not romanticize these two scenes.

In Your Heart: The Prequel
I want to make the creators step on Legos for 10 years!Why do I have to say, "If not for the rape . . ." That shouldn't be something I have to preface a drama with! This is just In Your Heart all over again. The side couple has such great scenes later when it comes to caring for a partner's sexual health, etc. But it is virtually impossible to see anything as positive with the black cloud of sexual assault hanging over everything.
I don't really have much else to say except that they fucked this up so bad, and they didn't need to. What was the reason?! WHAT. WAS. THE. REASON. Actually, I do know the reason. Because it shows society that the drama isn't necessarily approving of Gay people (also to frame them as being predatory): "He's just like that because . . ." You get what I'm saying.
I have other things I could complain about, but I'm tired. Writing this review made me tired. This drama made me tired.
As far as the reason I watched this in the first place (the Bi rep), here are my thoughts on that: The ML, Fuse, is likely to be Bi. He seems to be in a state of simultaneously denying and accepting his attraction to another man though. So, perhaps Queer would be the best term for him.
