It was mid
I was attracted to this series because of Pond???This is my first series of Phuwin and Pond. I honestly loved their chemistry in the drama. The fact that Phuwin and Pond are already really great actors at a young age is very promising❤️
I just felt that at some point, the story wasn't following the plot line anymore. I felt that there were some scenes that were added that was quite unnecessary, like the death of Palm's mother. Also I disliked the unnecessary drama that was added just to prolong the series, like palm promising not leave kongdiao but still ending up leaving and coming back again and all that dramatic stuff. It was really unnecessary.
I loved the OST tho. I'm looking forward to Phuwin and Pond's other new future projects❤️

My Roman Empire
For a series I binged watched, it is amazing. My first lakorn was Love in the Air and I thought nothing could top it, but now, I think this series may have changed my mind. The scenes when Nuengdiao and Palm are together alone made me feel like I was walking into something. Their scenes and emotions felt so real to the point it was uncomfortable. The way they looked at eachother were saying whole speeches without speaking a word. They went through so much together and I love the way they would do anything to protect each other. One thing I didn’t like about this series is the soundtrack and the way they kept running away from eachother, but all in all this series is amazing. Eventhough it is up to preference, this series is definitely worth every second.Was this review helpful to you?
This is a great show you guys are just mean
Listen. This show is a mess. A lot is happening all the time but god damn it was it a fun and emotional ride. Maybe it's because I grew up with Telenovelas but this show clicked with me immediately (aside from the annoying soundtrack). I loved the chaos, the random events plot. Sure it was cheesy at times, but god damn it that's why I have lactaid pills. It was fun and anyone who complains about it being too out there is allergic to fun and not invited to my cheese and crackers party!Was this review helpful to you?

keep the good story
overall so good to watch, recommended i can say, the main character acting is good and the story becomes interesting and more interesting for every episodes. it just ben and nueng, beside they only a high schooler, the kiss scene a bit bother me LoL but it’s not bad from other angle, it just when they zoom in… i was just questioning about their kiss. but palm and nueng kiss is great though? i’ve seen the first trailer and they have that feeling. LoL anyway, i will still follow it as long as they don’t bring boring stories.ps: will edit my review after the series finish

Actors are too good looking
I love drama that are not too soft, this one certainly shows that. the two main actors are insanely good looking and not too feminine or too masculine just to play the role. Loving it so far hope it ends well.Negative
Episode 4 kiss is quite bad, can be improved and lack of feeling compared to other series. But maybe there is more to it in the upcoming episodes.
Positive
Cinematography is great, but sound can be weird at times. The show is in full HD and available for free on GMTV youtube is amazing. Definitely a wothy watch, I also prevent from skipping ads when watching free official youtube drama to support the production and actors.

i'm loving this show so much
i don’t know i waited so long to start this show, better late than never, I'm loving it so much that I couldn’t wait to finish it and I had to write a review (this review is about the first five episodes).the story may not be the most original, but it will never bore you nonetheless. it never feels neither extremely slow-paced nor rushed at any point. the story takes its time to develop and the multiple subplots take the right amount of time not to distract you from the main story.
the intrigues and political aspects that we see in the first episode are basically put aside to focus on the establishing of the relationship between the main characters and it is just so well done. i am a very impatient person, so i generally don’t like when the relationship between the two main characters take too much time to evolve, but here i just enjoyed every scene of the two of them together completely.
there are a lot of dialogues that are really emotional and very interesting, concentrating on beautiful themes like fear of opening up and acceptance, in all its shades.
the cast is great. not gonna lie, sometimes the acting feels a bit off, but the performances of the two main characters are believable basically all the time, with some surprisingly nice acting scenes every now and then, from Pond in particular. but honestly, even when it is not that great, it feels great anyways because you can definitely see how much the actors worked to give the best performance possible, and the magnificent chemistry of Pond and Phuwin is enough to make you love any scene they’re in.
the characters are always coherent throughout the story, they make decisions and act following their personality, which is very well defined for every character from the very beginning. i want to praise Nueng's character in particular, because it feels very real and natural as we witness all his fears and worries, that are very relatable and well written, and the female characters are also great. Tanya is a strong and independent woman, other than a caring and supportive mother to Nueng, and Maggie is an absolutely lovely girl, always cheerful and willing to lend a helping hand to his friends, in this case Palm.
last but not least, music is very pretty. usually i don’t actually pay a lot of attention to it, but his time i couldn’t help but notice how lovely it was, and especially coherent with the scenes it is put in and exalting the feeling that we already get from the writing, so the dialogues, and the actors' performances.
i don’t recommend never let me go, i FORCE you to give it a try, it is worth it.

Never Let Me Go - who whom?
5 episodes so far. Thai BLs go into a more serious or adult storyline. Where Kinn Porsche had been a led to. Never Let Me Go is following that dark criminal path in the plot by a murderous threat from the outside.Why and who is trying to kill the family members is not that clear, you can guess only. But that is okay and is rising the tension and let you think. The main leads acting is good. And the most there are no major flaws in the outfitting of the scenes ... like shirt scratching micros, or different dresses for one scene ... completed after some days, you may forget ... but when there are tears needed they miss. When they should embrace the hands still look like there is no feeling and an anxienty to touch each other ... despite the actors know each other from a previous show : Fish Upon the Sky (2021) which was partly anoying. And for Thai BLs "typical" we have a girl meddling as well. Still not too much, but let´s see what she "is up to".
What the leads get right is the difficulty for feelings between employer and employee incl. the social class differences and hesitance it is causing both.
What you unfortunately still see in the show is the lack of time for pre-, post- and production. As if they make fast food BLs ... Like in Hollywood´s "busiest times" to entertain the masses making them forget the miseries of the depression.

Not Letting This Go
?1st EPISODEFirst episode starting off strong. It's nothing spectacular but enough to keep you waiting for the next episode.
?What I loved:
- the chemistry between the leads
- the color grading (this is very subjective)
- the casting
- the ost
?What I liked:
- the story pacing, not too fast but not too slow
- the dialogues
✍️What needs to be improved:
- the proximity between the two leads, it's okay but it can be more natural
All in all, I can't wait for the next episodes and I am hoping they can maintain the quality all throughout the series– if not, I hope it's in the getting better alley.
?2nd EPISODE
This was so good, far better than the first episode (not a fair fight, may I just say).
?What I loved:
- the cute moments from the leads
- they act more natural here
- nueng's smile
- the exchanging of dialogues
-the script
?What I liked:
- that fight scene of palm (kinda loved it actually)
- their little gay panics
✍️What needs to be improved:
- the next ep schedule, i need it now
Thee best episode so far, and I know I'll be saying this more often for the following ones, but this is the truth for now. Again, anticipating for the 3rd episode already.
?3rd EPISODE
The classism is classism-ing and I am so here for it. I hate Ben will all my guts and organs.
?What I loved:
- the social class discrimination done subtly right
- when palm punched phum
- the scene by the pond
- palm's imagination
- the hate i had for ben
- the shooting range scene
?What I liked:
- that palmnueng pool scene (almost loved it if it wasn't for the painful dialogue)
✍️What needs to be improved:
- the next ep schedule, i need it now pt.2
As much as I still love the previous episode, I can't help but be in awe with this episode. It showed how much far can Palm go if he sees Nueng in pain. Though the only reason I kinda disliked this episode from the previous one was because of Ben always butting in anytime. Overall, another episode slayed by Jojo's team, PondPhuwin, and the rest of the supporting casts. I can't wait for the next episode.

Im disappointed!
2/10Negative:
1. Unfortunately there were few kisses from the Maincouple PalmxNueng.
2. That would have been nice if the sidecouple ChopperxBen had already fallen in love with each other after the beginning and had come together.
3. Nuengs father and Palms Mother has been killed. I hate Chopper's father because he is a murderer.
5. That chopper could have done something earlier to stop his sick father. Then Nueng's father and Palm's mother would still be alive.
6. That PalmxNueng can see each other only 1 time a year just like in that dumb story Nueng read. Totally Stupid!!!
7. Palm didn't look so enamored with Nueng. I didn´t feel that very much. The acting that both love each other was unfortunately not so good.
8. First Nueng left a note for Palm. In the episodes after that, Palm did the same to Nueng. That was completely heartless. I thought they loved each other. But it didn't look like it. sad. They just hurt each other. A BIG Waste of time!!! :-/
9. The Maincouple after meeting each other didn´t start a new life on the island together with Palm's mother. That would have been very cool.
10. There was only one lovescene from the Maincouple.
11. Unfortunately, the Series implementation didn´t turn out so well.
Positive:
1. The Maincouple PalmxNueng.
2. I find it nice that Palm's mother has no problems with Gay Relationships. The same for Nueng's mother.

Grande déception
Peut-être que j’avais trop d’attentes quand j’ai commencé cette série?J’ai vu la distribution et je me suis jeté sur le drama, impatiente de découvrir l’histoire dans laquelle allait jouer à nouveau Pond Narawit et Phuwin Tangsakyuen que j’avais aimé dans Fish Upon the Sky. Aussi, je voulais absolument voir Perth Tanapon qui est l’un de mes acteurs thaïs favoris. Malheureusement, c’était une grande déception.
L’histoire aurait pu être intéressante, mais elle traine en longueur. J’étais enthousiaste lors des premiers épisodes, puis ma joie s’est transformée en ennui. Les scènes à l’école étaient bien. J’ai apprécié que Nuengdiao (Phuwin) développe quelque chose avec Ben (Chimon) avant de se laisser charmer par Palm (Pond). C’était différent de ce qu’on voit habituellement dans les BL, ça m’a donné envie d’en voir plus… Sauf qu’ils sont partis à la plage.
Les épisodes pendant lesquels Nuengdiao et Palm sont à la plage sont interminables. Au début, c’était mignon, mais le charme s’est rapidement envolé. Je comprends la raison de cette escapade, mais ça aurait pu être fait différemment. Peut-être est-ce parce que la personnalité du jeune riche n’est pas très intéressante que c’était si long. Il y a de beaux plans de vus, de jolis dialogues, mais rien de marquant. D’ailleurs, combien de fois sont-ils « pas assez bien l’un pour l’autre ». Leur façon de jouer au yo-yo pour se protéger mutuellement donne envie de crier.
Heureusement, Ben et Chopper sont là pour sauver l’histoire. On voit à peine ce couple, mais ils sont les plus intéressants. Perth Tanapon vole la vedette chaque fois qu’il apparait à l’écran. Non seulement son personnage a la meilleure histoire, mais son talent d’acteur est impressionnant. Juste la façon dont il fait des câlins laisse paraitre tant de sentiments. S’il avait été la tête d’affiche, la série aurait pu avoir un plus grand succès.
J’espère que Ben et Chopper feront leur retour dans Our Skyy 2. Ils le méritent.
