Depressing
Sad, sad, sad. Wasted 22.5 hours watching a depressing show. Nut used and abused Tofu. Tofu gave Nut true and beautiful love, support, and understanding when he needed it the most, and for what? I guess that life sometimes is not fair.I won’t even bother watching the ending. I like to watch bl’s vs regular shows because they are uplifting and they bring happiness to a few minutes of my life. I guess no this time.
I would love for them to release the books ahead of time, so we would know what we are getting into before starting to watch something that we wont enjoy.
I guess depressing show for depressing times we live in.

WORST BL ENDING EVER !! TOXIC AND ABUSIVE
where do I start ? TOFU deserves better.. nut was very abusive and he kept just taking the abuse and hurt but I chose to accept watching it because I think the two actors have amazing chemistry together... but really the ending really destroyed the show... tofu deserved so much more than to end up being a a teddy bear watching the person he loved be with someone else... taht is such a disgusting end for Tofu who did everything for everybody and deserved the world. Don't watch this if u hated the ending of MAKING OUR DAYS COUNT.. it crushes u even more than that.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet but conflicted series with a mixed ending
This series has a genre fusion that is not very common, quite rare actually. This type of mystery story with a simple and sweet main lead tends to take the story in 2 different directions which makes the audience a bit confused.From the start of the series, it felt as if the series won't have a proper happy ending as the non-existing love triangle was too complicated and it will be very difficult for the writers to solve it to have a proper happy ending.
Even with a complicated story, one thing I love about the series is how some of the things are presented, tofu's character definitely being one of them. Beautifully crafted.
Story & Direction:
I find the seed story to be too unrealistic. Even for something scifi, you need to give proper explanations of how it came into existence, till the final episode there were still so many questions unanswered, which was a bit too late. Teddy ability to talk to things in the house is unrealistic again, especially since he turned into a human.
When it comes to direction & editing, I think there are just too many flashbacks and many of them weren't timed properly.
Another thing is Nut's character, it always felt like Nut's character played 2 roles that were not merged properly. His angry role was a bit extreme, making him look like an a**hole in many scenes. However in some other scene when the character is supposed to be angry, he was presented in a comparatively calm manner making the angry extreme a bit illogical.
I really like that it's not based on university but more on the work environment.
Also, it felt as if Ken's character would have looked better without glasses.
What I liked:
* Non-University BL
* Beautifully Crafted character
* multiple episodes released per week
* not just focused on BL
* even though it's not a proper happy ending, I liked it
What I disliked
* only homosexual couples (at the end, another homosexual couple was added)
* dual nature of nut's character
* unrealistic scenes
* too many flashbacks

Its hurts but it hurts for good
OMG tofu is so cute. I need a tofu in my life, actually we all need him. He is such a baby.When i watched the 1st episode, i thought why this series has 1.5 hr running time and 16 episodes... How can a simple story be this much long.. but after watching some of the ep i can say that this series is too much complicated and so many stories to unlock. And if you guys love to watch mysterious series then its for you. After all i really hooked up to this series from the start because it was a different experience to me.
Firstly it was a fantasy drama plus it air thrice every week
plus it have 85-90 min running time.
Apart from that it portrait the real story of us.. how do we react to a situation and what we need from others, attention, care, and some family problems everything clearly portrayed here
These are the reasons why i was interested into this series (and now also)
This series is a rollercoaster ride through out from the start till the end. I loved the story but it's a little bit complex to understand at 1st
And especially all the songs are nice.
Acting of both the actors is marvellous mainly nat( not just them everyone nailed their character ). When nat gets angry even i get scared. Tofu is sweet as icecream.. loved him sooo much. Don't try to binge-watch, it is much better to watch ongoing. And the best part is its airing on Netflix.
Don't think abt the finale its the ri8 end to the series and little heartbroken but all the pieces are fixed at the end. And all of u who came here to watch a cute comedy series then its not for u . It will brok ur heart, tear ur soul and mainly you'll b happy and sad in every ep. This series is a master piece guys watch it

DONT WATCH THIS SERIES ???
Now here’s the thing, the only good thing about this show was the damn dog and tofu. That’s it. Everything else was just a whole lot of wtf is going on and can we move on alr. Confusion after confusion just to give us the ending that would most likely cause everyone to lower their ratings. Personally, I would only recommend this show if you wanna get stop at ep 14 without checking any spoilers on the ending and just leaving it be. If not this is one can be skipped. Just watch YouTube snippets of the couples if you want the cute moments.I hope there isn’t a season 2 or even a spin-off cause of the way things were left, season 2 would just create more confusion.
All in all this show has probably given us all the worst night ever. Hopefully, people read these reviews and stay well clear of this show.

Understanding Nut's Character
Not All BL are about kissing, sex, and being Sweet all the time. Nut's attitude won't be able to understand by people who never experienced nor understand what he experienced as a child. I swear, I understand how you feel, but try to put yourself on his shoes. Believe me, there's a lot of gay men like Nut who suffered or even currently suffering from their parents' belief towards gay people. Understand the flow of the story and the characters the actors portray. I have a gay brother who is rebellious until today. My parents and him aren't talking for years now. I am the only one who understand him and able to talk to him. This BL really widens my understanding towards my brother. This BL gives us a product of wrong parenting, which is Nut. No doubt the production team decided to air this in Channel 3 where local people in Thailand can watch it, despite knowing they might receive negative feedbacks from older generation. For me the story teaches us the lesson, esp our parents, that what we think is right, is not always the best thing for our kids. BTW, there's a lot of gay couples out there who are having toxic relationships worst than Nut and Tofu. There's a lot of reason, and one of which is the same as Nut's. FYI.Was this review helpful to you?
This is a masterpiece!
I give this BL series a 10/10It is a true masterpiece. I want more BLs like this one. Even though it is a fantasy it is so real than most BLs I have seen. And as a homosexual person who has struggled being accepted, had an emotionally abusive father and have dealt with mental health issues, I feel well represented in this story. I empathise with everyone and I understand their behaviours. There is A LOT of important issues that this series covers. I do not want to spoil. But this is a series I believe a lot of peope should watch. I'm definitelly rewatching it after its complete. :)

Heavy on the Drama, Light on the BL
Where to start? I have a love - hate relationship with this show. It was very heavy on the drama side with issues such as mental illness, guilt, plots of attempted murder, and more.On the BL side it was heavy on the disapproval of parents to the point of violence and lots of sadness.
The 2 main male leads had a deep connection and love, but there were so many "almost" kisses that I felt a bit deflated at times.
The story was exceptional in that it held my interest throughout, and despite some of the things I didn't like, there was more that I did like.
Lot's of complaints in the reviews about the ending - which I agreed with those complaints. Not a high rewatch value for me.

This BL is extremely heart warning!
To be honest I watched it bc of the good reviews..and since it’s nowadays rare to find a worthy watch BL I gave it a try. Until the last episode I freaking enjoyed it.By my opinion the story could have been a little shorter, there were completely unnecessary scenes.
Also I understand it’s hard to act out a gay character, but it really could have more love full scenes.
Otherwise the acting was on point, they casted talented actors. I hope I’ll see them in other BL series too.
Anyways be aware you probably gonna cry your eyes out at the end. Tissues are welcomed, also your time shouldn’t be budgeted. It will take long, but it is worth to watch.

Loved and Expected
I enjoyed the series from start to finish. It gave me reasons to cry as well as laugh. I loved and expected the ending once I realized how Tofu was linked to Tarn. I understand that some people may be disappointed with the ending, but I don't believe it could have gone any other way. When the Teddy Bear was running through the streets and hiding from the dog in the final episode, it was a bit comedic. I kept thinking "Didn't anyone see that?" I gave it a 9.5 instead of a 10 because Jan just seems to vanish and Tarn takes over her house. You don't know if she was punished or what happened to her. I'm relieved that everyone ended up happy and that I wasn't left crying at the end. Even Phrippri found her own Tofu.Was this review helpful to you?
Too much drama
I dont know how to write a review this is my first drama to write a reviewIts my opinion on this series :
I dont know what writer was thinking, i really hate nut character no matter how many times taohu approch nut he throws away him like used tissue.
That was the first thing i really hated and second thing is bad ending for someone it would be a good end because of first love taohu was the one who cleared all the difficulties from everyone in this series but in the end he died. First i thought it was not a good one and after that i realize nut doesn't deserve taohu's love because in the end when taohu died next minute he(nut) started to date tarn but in past when taohu appeared nut tortures taohu becuase of his first love and his family so i think this is the good end for a dumb character(nut) in this whole series nut is the worst character not even less than jan.

Not other like "light typical BL series"
Im not typical who watch BL, I only watch several, and watch it just for seeing the actor lol but I can see the different from each stories. MOTB is different. They bravely showing some social issues despite this series is a fiction typical. They also rising some family issues, which is so good i think. All the actors (for the lead especially) they incredibly portrayed the role so well. Sometimes it has lot of fun scenes, other time you gonna be so hurt seeing painful scenes. Its worth rewatch only for the cute scenes imo hahaha but over all it indeed have a good message.Was this review helpful to you?
