While it had its moments, I felt that it was missing something
I honestly binge watched this series because of Our Skyy 2, which premieres on Wednesday. The MC here will be the first couple. And...what I thought I was going to get, I felt that this series kind of fell short on.I mean, the acting is good and the music is addictive. But the storyline wasn't presented properly as it felt choppy in certain parts. Also, some of the things that were happening just made me want to scream.
And then, unfortunately, I didn't click or feel something for nearly all of the characters. Only one character I can say that I really cared for and that was Palm's mom. She admitted that she was selfish, yet she still loved her son. Heck! She gave up her life for Palm and Neuengdiao. Also, I was getting a wee bit bored with those last three episodes. And then that ending for me? Yeah....personally I just wasn't feeling it.
My overall score is 6/10. And here's hoping the two special episode from Our Skyy 2 will make me fall for these characters .

This was almost a 9/10
Contrary to the title, towards the end they leave each other a lot?! Like why do they fight so much to be together and keep leaving each other notes that they are leaving? š The third act breakup was just too much and ruined the last episode for me. The couple had JUST broken up and gotten back together so why do it all over again?! They could've focused on the justice and a nice epilogue of the boys with their own hostel. Instead it was all about them breaking up and getting back together AGAIN bc despite their many conversations they keep insisting they're a burden to the other and uno reverse break up before they FINALLY get back together for good.Last episode aside, this series is amazing. It's entertaining, emotional, and fresh to me. The acting was so well done, you couldn't stop the tears from running from my eyes!

Amazing story
At first I was hesitating to watch this. But after watching fish upon the sky - I got to know the cast and their comfortable chemistry.Some people compared this with KinnPorsche.
But it's not too much similar with KinnPorsche.
The drama has its own power.
Plam has gentle nature. It is Plam or Mork(Character name in Fish upon the sky) , I love both.
Nueng is sometimes immature but sometimes reasonable. His character development is amazing. And I really love the chemistry they have here.
For me this drama is more than worth watching.

The BL romance which we deserve
When you demand on the romantic BL stories the accuracy of a 'real life situation', have you ever thought: is it always logical and 'adult' in real life? And haven't you ever blamed the classical Hollywood stories about the straight couples for 'non-realistic plot'?What is Never Let Me Go? It's a beautiful and a little painful classical 'prince and his bodyguard' story, but it has very good ideas about self-acceptance and the partner acceptance, despite the deep and co-dependent feelings. It often happens when we're young and in love... especially when this love is pure, deep and real.
I liked Nueng and Palm in general, especially their chemistry and how they looked in quite innocent love scenes. They are teenagers, but not children, and they behave quite adequate, despite all the illogical (but absolutely normal for the film) situations with teen-bodyguard etc. Phuwin and Pond are quite promising actors ib my opinion and especially Pond has very interesting emotional spectre onscreen. I liked both moms, Thanya and Mam, and the second couple, a little annoying Ben and quite interesting Chopper showed us rather natural types of late teenagers.
I liked the music, despite I prefer rock and the vusual is absolutely great, I adore the colors.
So, I can say it's a really good romance with the elements of action and drama, and I'm planning to rewatch NLMG soon.

Slow but realistic and overall nice
The show at the beginning is very cute and you have some sense of what the main characters feel for each other and it goes back and forth of them getting jealous for a while because they know they can't do anything about their feelings in their current situation especially when one of them has a secret boyfriend. After the two flee because of family complications and they go to the hotel where we see more of their relationship become official and no, the one with a secret boyfriend is not cheating because they unofficially and officially broke up with each other if that makes sense. Even if they gave the two characters the same type of jealousy role back and forth in the beginning they add wholesome moments between the two andgive information that will later set up the plot you just have to get past the first five episodes for all the gears to move. And just a side note about the soundtrack but please tell me i'm not the only one who hears an instrumental of Noel in the background that absolutely kills the serious mood that the actors are trying to play out and why have I heard it in other bl's for example till the world ends during the same sort of situation.

So far good
This is my first time watching any series with 3 of theses actors. Neung, palm and BenI don't know them at all but sooo far am enjoying it. I really came here if am being truthful it's because of Perth. I came too see his acting. Last series I watched with him was love by chance. So far am digging his character as Copper. Just hope they don't turn him a villain in the series. Need him and Ben to figure their shit out and get ready for dangerous moment with them. Hope it's not another death for him.š Anywho Let's see how the rest plays out. Complete and love it

10/10
I went into this series and was not disappointed at all. So, I was shocked to see bad reviews left underneath NLMG. Personally, I thought it was great and emotional. I could feel the chemistry and love between the leads.I like the bodyguard protecting rich boy theme. There was very noticeable character development with Nuengdiao, and I also LOVED Palm. After watching NLMG I became obsessed with Phuwin & Pond, theyāre so cute.
I say this series was definitely worth the watch to the point it nearly topped āThe Eclipseā in my list.

It Is Really A Beautiful Story
It is told very well with both storylines and great acting. I was impressed with how engrossed I became in their quest and in the lives of the two main characters. This series had all the earmarks of being just another Thai BL series but this one took itself more seriously and worked very hard to project a moral arc to it with an outcome that was painful, real, and incredibly honest. This is also one of the few Thai BLs of late that had serious conversations about relationships and how impactful they are to one another and what the consequences of falling in love can be.Was this review helpful to you?

The chemistry brought the series to success
*happy ending*This series is a good combination of romance, action and drama. And I loved every inch of it.
The main characters had the best chemistry, though at times Pond's face is a bit luckluster especially during serious conversations.
The other characters are very well casted. I loved every character, even the villain for their magnificent acting. I was deeply immersed to the story because of it.
The soundtrack is bomb. I had to save the whole album of the series in spotify because there is no song I didn't like. Highly recommended playlist.
The cinematography is chef's kiss. The color scheme is a mellow brown which gives off a feel of 90s kind of show.
The story may need a few tweaks though. There are parts that may seem like a stupid decision for the characters to do. Also, Palm never got out of his 'responsibility' love for Nueng which is kinda sad for me. I hope he learns to love himself as well and be spoiled to Nueng.
All in all, this is one of the best series created by gmmtv and a great series for PondPhuwin ā¤ļø
Definitely a must watch!

Never let me go
Quite promising! Overall this story does have a strong pilot. It starts off with intense emotions. The storyline is typical but has a fresh feel to it. The lead pair's acting skills have improved drastically, and all the cast members complement each other's roles well. Mid-episodes give the feeling of a magical summer romance with a deepening feeling between Nueng and Palm. Towards the end, there was a big u-turn into the thriller element with massive emotional turmoil among both couples. If you truly love someone, you will do anything to make sure everything is perfect, no matter what the cost you have to pay for the other person's happiness. This emotion was well portrayed by both the lead couples. I hope I didn't reveal much.Nueng and Palm: Pond and Phuwin did great with their respective characters. Nueng's jealousy over Maggie is funny and cute. Both Nueng and Palm subconsciously have feelings towards each other, but they are not able to express them properly. Wu and David's proposal gave the push Nueng needed to ask Palm to date, while Mama Mam gave that push to Palm. Phuwin as Nueng 2.0 towards the end was on point and top-notch. The whole reminiscences track between Nueng and Palm made this episode worthwhile. Nueng and Palm had lost the essence of their happiness, but ultimately, they got want they truly deserved.
Ben and Chopper: Initially, I felt terrible for Chopper, and I was not too fond of Ben and Nueng's scenes. Ben did cause a significant problem, which made Nueng doubt everyone who was genuinely friendly and caring towards him. But no one can actually blame him because he was forced to do this by his toxic father. I felt terrible for Chopper. Got their happy ending.
Kit: Crucial character.
Phiphop: He seemed like a good and caring father.
Tanya: She is such a sweetheart who loves her son no matter what happens and trusts him. Mrs Tanya did a great job by giving the push Nueng required.
Maggie: She is one of the few who truly cares and understands Palm. She is fresh and supportive.
Channon: The way Palm's dad treats him is awful, but in the end, he realised his mistakes.
Mama Mam: Her character is funny and a much-needed character to be introduced to lighten the whole vibe of the series. I like Mam's character development, and it just makes sense everyone has the right to live their life on their terms, especially all the Asian mothers out there because they make many sacrifices for their families. I really wish we had more episodes with her.
Phum: Double-faced and doesn't know the entire side of the story and acted based on it, but in the end, he knows the truth.
OSTs:
"Living for you" OST by Phuwin is magical and heavenly and complimented the wedding scene well.
"Only One" by Pond is sweet and gives the feeling of longing.
I really enjoyed listening to them.
All the other music chosen for the whole series was fantastic.
