It's worth the watch, even though I rated it quite low
Okay so I would love to give this Drama an 8 because it was quite endearing, however, objectively I can not give it more than a 7.First off the cast: I only knew one of the actors from other series and it was quite interesting to see him this young. Overall the entire cast seemed quite young, however since their characters were pretty young too it made sense. They were all okay acting out their parts, but some parts seemed rather unnatural.. it got better the further the series advanced though.
Now for the plot: the series kind of gave me the feeling of a 15 year old boy trying his hand on writing a series... the Humor and story in itself seemed a little “childish” however, this is not meant in any bad way, since this was also the charm to this series. It seemed kind of pure and innocent (even though it wasn’t even that innocent) just some 15 year old boys doing what 15 year old boys do and experiencing love on the way. I watched through the entire series quite quickly since it was interesting and entertaining although terribly weird to watch at times.
I would recommend to give it a go.

A Nice Binge-Worthy Series
This series continuously kept me entertained. I found myself so excited to continue watching this series each episode that came. Even though it wasn't the best story plot-wise, it was still fun to watch.The relationships in this series were a little strange. Fuse and Tee were a complicated pair, I wanted to love them, but there were just so many different aspects of the pair that I hated. For one, Fuse treated Tee like trash. he wouldn't break up with his girlfriend to save his life. In the end, it ruined how I felt about them because Fuse always felt fake to Tee. I don't know how to feel about the drunken hook-up. While it was somewhat consensual, Fuse was still drunk, and it was just uncomfortable. As much as I love Ohm, his character was NOT it this series. *Sighes*, another case of romanticizing r*pe. Yes, Book and Frame have been texting back in forth about having sex and positions and all that, but when it finally came down to it, Book wasn't interested anymore, which is so completely valid! The actions Frame makes are disgusting, but what made me even more upset was the fact that the next day, they completely wiped out the part of Book not have wanted to have sex. If Book changed his mind about wanting to do it, then they should’ve shown that instead of pretending it didn’t exist. What would have been even better is if they would’ve just had Book and Frame talk it out, and then maybe that heat of the moment comes up again and they both consent-fully do it. The way they approached the aftermath was even worse and volatile. I can't get behind this couple at all.
What was the point of Rodtang's character? Was he here to add even more confusion to the plot? Cause that's all he was helpful for. The writers must've had mixed decisions on what to do with him because he starts out liking Fuse, and then turns around and starts liking Nine, but his character was inconsistently shown and had temperamental screen time. I also didn't love Beam's (rodtang) acting all that much, it felt very stiff in a lot of parts, and it felt like he didn't understand his character at all.
Right off the bat, I'm in love with Lukmo. He was hilarious, and he made this series such a joy to watch. I really fell for Yok's character. He was openly gay, and we got to see his situation with his mom and his home life. He finally thought he had found love only to be let down. I liked that this series didn't make the feminine gay a joke, and instead gave him a fully fleshed-out story.
It's strange how censored this show is. This was one of the earlier BLs, so maybe two guys kissing on screen wasn't the norm back then, but what makes it weird is how explicit this show was on sex and porn. This has to be one of the dirtiest shows I have seen so far, but all the kisses were censored or left to look like they happened. I'd rather a couple just never kiss than fake a kiss. It's always just so noticeable that they didn't kiss and makes it so awkward, at least for me. This series was overall a good watch. I didn't love some of the production choices made and some of the acting wasn't all too great either, but overall, it was a fun watch.

MAKE IT RIGHT is a mixed bag for me. In general, once the story lines got going a bit, I was more involved, but I found myself skipping through some of the side aspects and not feeling invested in most of the side characters, which for me is not the greatest sign.I also struggled a bit with the first act of intercourse between Book and Frame. You may consider this to be "spoilerish," but the truth of the matter is it's something that you should know going in, as it could be difficult to see for some (and it tells you nothing about what happens later). While I wasn't triggered by it, and I have heard that the intention was not for it to come across as it did, I can see how it could end up being horribly triggering to others. I was uncomfortable with it, and I wouldn't have kept watching if I didn't know it wasn't the intent (as opposed to in another drama here the intent is for it to be portrayed a particular way).
The music often jerked me out of moments, and this drama used some of the silly little noises at times that always make me feel like I'm watching a cartoon. I was invested in the main two characters, and the acting wasn't terribly poor (though it is possible I just got accustomed to it as episodes went on), but I still didn't fall head over heels for the show. I'll watch the second season, but I'm not sure I'd rewatch this.

Confused and disapointed
I watched Make it Right years ago, and I remember not liking it. I just finished re-watching it and I still don't like it. The acting is cringy and bad, the music is at times too loud and often times unnecessary. There are times when the plot is so slow and boring, there are these extremely long and awkward silent pauses in between lines it makes it hard to watch and makes the episode seem two hours long. I was disappointed to realize I didn't like the main couple together, I didn't they had much chemistry together. Book and Frame were more believable as a couple. I'm confused as to why so many people find this series one of the best in the industry.....Was this review helpful to you?
Overall: To be entirely honest this show wasn't great. That's not to say it wasn't good. It definitely wasn't bad. I've read many comments and reviews of people who loved this show. I'm definitely not saying it's bad overall. However, for me personally I didn't really enjoy it. I almost quit many times but I powered through, and having now finished it I almost wish I hadn't. If you're interested in my personal opinion on why I didn't like it please keep reading for more detail.
Firstly I'll start on the good points:
1.) The opening song is actually pretty good. I even added it to my playlist on spotify.
2.) The two main romances (Tee and Fuse, and Book and Frame) were pretty cute.
3.) I'm sorry I legitimately can't come up with any more good points
Next...the not so good points:
1.) So when I say it had obvious product placement I don't just mean they used the product and the camera focused on it and it was all very obvious. No, I mean like the characters talked about how great it was while using it and it happened so often that it got to the point I felt like I was just watching ads.It would have been better if they'd worked it in more naturally. Hell, the main characters sister basically just existed to work advertisements into the show.
2.) The kiss scenes (if you can call them that) were very awkward. I read that in the comments before watching and thought maybe people were exaggerating, but trust me..they were not.
3.) A lot of the romances seemed forced, and I really couldn't get into them
4.) Some of the characters didn't really seem to have a purpose for the plot. (Yok)
5.) Some of the characters I just genuinely disliked (Tan)
6.) Some major plot points didn't get solved (however I'm hoping season two covers them)
7.) Everything just seemed very immature and it was hard to take any of it seriously
8.) The age thing. They're all supposed to be high schoolers and they'll act like immature stupid teens one minute, and the next they'll be hooking up in hotel rooms. It just felt weird.
I just really couldn't get into this show. I wasn't desperate to find out what would happen next, I didn't cry, I didn't sit on the edge of my seat, etc. There were a couple funny points, but a few laughs was the only reaction this show really got out of me. There were more points in the show that were supposed to be funny that didn't make me laugh however, as they were more suited to someone with crude humor that I do not possess.
In conclusion, I clearly didn't like it but if you don't mind the things I listed then give it a try and decide for yourself I guess. I also want to clarify once again that I don't think this was bad. It just wasn't for me. However I still think that the creators, actors, etc. deserve some kudos for their hard work.
(and shout out to Tincan's actors for being in the same show and their characters never once interacting. *cries*)

The bad things in my own opinion are: the development of the story is quite slow its not a bad pace but there are moments that it makes you feel excited at some point but the scene doesn't meet up with what you feel it ought to be, I don't know maybe its just me but who knows right? another thing is a bit personal for me, subtitles, where are they? haha. Episode 6 is already out but I can't watch it yet since I'm waiting for someone to translate it. It's not a bad thing but I believe Make It Right is reaching countries as far as Europe, so I guess having subs would really boost its ratings.
That's it for now, I'll post another after I watched the entire show, but at this point I really look forward to it and will continue to watch. Hope this helps!
Please be reminded that I haven't watched the entire series just up to the latest one and this review only covers the half of it (since there are 12 episodes). The purpose of this review is for what to expect, I will edit this on the future after the season finale. Thanks for understanding and reading.

This drama is sweet, has a lot of cute pairings and it's kinda enjoyable, considering you can ignore the awkward acting (since most thai bl dramas have noob actors this isn't anything new).
But what I really hated were the kiss scenes, they're hella fake. They hardly even let their lips touch the other person's lips or cheeks. NOPE NOPITY NOPE, VERY DISAPPOINTING.
The side couple outshines the main couple's chemistry but I genuinely hated how they came together (Frame x Book)
There's long stagnant moments that may make you cringe but if liked 'Love Sick The Series', you'll probably like this better. I found myself comparing the two because of the whole school based, multiple pairings and amateur acting, girlfriend cheating, but I prefer this over that any day.
Bonus : they have a lesbian story as well!!

Here I’ll probably once again go against the fandom grain, so to speak, because I liked TeeFuse more than FrameBook. FrameBook seems to be, from what I’ve seen here on Tumblr, the pairing of this drama. I don’t know. For me personally, they didn’t click as much as TeeFuse. And Tee in particular.
It’s true that I didn’t like how Tee started his relationship with Fuse. Sure, Fuse verbally agreed to have sex and he was very enthusiastic about the whole thing - but he was also very drunk. There is that. But I liked that Tee owned up to that. He apologized and took full responsibility and got out of Tee’s way, he didn’t try to pursue him further. No, afterwards, it was Fuse who needed to win Tee over again. But there was this minor fact that he had a girlfriend and, well, basically he wanted the cake and eat it too. Which kept hurting Tee a lot. And the actor, Boom Krittapak, played it incredibly well.

The acting was ok, sometimes it was good and sometimes it was stale. For example, the actors did a great job portraying people in a relationships but the kiss scenes were awful.
The music was great, I really liked the theme song.
