Takeaway - You will be left with your heart warmed. If you want to see some cute boys, your desire will also be fulfilled. But nothing deep.
Story - It involves multiple issues. Having no money, prostitution, love vs sex, and even a little bit of family problems towards the end. However none of these issues are truly addressed. The movie is somewhat of a comedy and should be watched with a light-heart. The ending is also sort of ambiguious.
Actors/ Cast - Both do their part (there are 2 main characters). There are a couple side characters that serve as cute jokes. The story focuses on Khao the most and his experience with prostitution. Pete is his next door neighbor and in my eyes super cute. You can feel the love between them towards the end of the movie.
Music - Basic music but enjoyable nonetheless.
Rewatch Value: Some day in the future, yes, I would watch it again.
Overall: I RECOMMEND! It was truly an enjoyable movie, and unless you just don't want to see guys having sex, I don't understand why you wouldn't like it?

There's really not much sex in this.
I liked this. There was an unrealistic aspect to it, though, which is that I think whenever anyone met Kao they would scream "Oh my God, your eye! What happened to your EYE!" But other than that, it was cute and fluffy.From the comments and reviews where everyone was calling it "gay porn", I expected penises everywhere, but the love scenes were actually very restrained and realistic, and sweet and loving. I think maybe people are starting to get used to the Victorian-era level of sexuality in BLs. Anyway, they don't show anything - it's about equivalent to TharnType if you've seen that.
This isn't deep by any means, but the guy playing Kao is very good in his role - he makes the character kind of dim but sweet, and other than one of his eyes, he's easy to look at - so is Pete. Hey, I just realized it's another Pete & Kao!
Anyway, I would recommend this is you want a thin plot with boys being cute together and in love.

Just No...
the plot was whack the acting same, it wasn't funny or that interesting, there was some nudity and a bit of erotica but nothing ground shattering... let me indifferent - and to call anything that happened between the leads as love is a reach.Khao runs away from home to house-sit for an older female friend that's like a sister(?) in the hopes of finding a job to making a living - but other then the first call to a friend - the "job hunt" ends there.. heck other then going out (we don't see it - so assuming) to buy himself better boxer briefs, he doesn't really leave the house - one that he loves to leave wide-open, and if we were talking about a private residence, would say ok. but this an apartment in a freakin building and the door is wide open - all the time, WTF??
the big romance also fizzes out, they have like minimal interaction and only cause Khao picks up a passed-out Pete and puts his drunk ass to bed, wiping him down cause he pukes on them both - so then Pete is nicer to Khao and still there isn't much interaction shown, for anyone to conclude - love. or even for either of them to end up in bed for Khao's B-Day. unless that was a birthday special XD
have to say watched 1hr 14mins of this and nothing is note worthy. yeah only the fact that when Khao's mom drops by to "read him the riot act", she's accompanied in the elevator by a ladyboy client and finds out that her son is now prostituting's himself - so after going on about sin and purgatory. he puts the only money he has, in her hands, promises her that he will give her more once he gets a job - she happily takes the money while still trying to act high and might? really? then she no different then a pimp - pssh plz.. that's the only bit that got a reaction out of me - the rest meeeh whatever...
