I don't know
Only finished because of Li Ming and Heart they're such cuties. Almost fell asleep while watching the main couple's conversation but overall it's really interesting and the couples chemistry is amazing. Shout out to Alan and Gaipa, I love them with my whole heart.Was this review helpful to you?

Heart and Li Ming carried the entire show
To be honest, I would probably have dropped this series if HeartLiMing wasn't in it. I have nothing against the actors that play the main couple, but I just wasn't really interested in them (dramatic storylines aren't really my thing). They did have really good chemistry, though.On the other hand, Heart and Li Ming quickly became my favourite pairing EVER on a BL series (and, mind you, I've watched a few already). Their relationship is so cute, warm and unproblematic, that I could rewatch their scenes over and over and never get tired of them. There's something comforting about a ship that doesn't have any drama in it - and the only drama that happens doesn't have anything to do with them, but rather with Heart's parents and how they treat their son.
You know what, I'm not even mad we got an angled kiss. GeminiFourth steal the show every time they're onscreen together, and they bring a lot of dimension to the characters they play. Gemini's acting is especially commendable, because he had to convey the emotions and thoughts of a deaf character, while not being deaf himself. His facial expressions were top-notch, his body language amplified, and his gestures a lot more animated, which made it very easy to understand Heart, even when the sign language wasn't translated.
Fourth is a great actor as well - he nailed the gentleness of Li Ming, his determination to communicate with his friend, and his joy every time the other managed to talk.
I love that this series took a different route than most Thai series and decided to go with a darker, more realistic tone for the story. I also liked that the two couples balanced each other out, the main couple's relationship being a lot more convoluted and messy, and the secondary couple's being mostly smooth, innocent and pure.

Story
Absolutely loved this series. Anything Earth/Mix star intheir chemistry with each other is 100% but it was Gemini/fourth that got my heart strings going. The scene where heart has a hard time off his parents for
wanting to lead a normal life and being comforted by
was a beautiful moment and just summed up the whole series..Sadness..fear..guilt and love. I watched a1000 stars with earth/Mix and they got me to watch more BLs and I haven't been disappointed.I pick what I want
to watch being as I enjoy mature BLs with a good storyline. All the cast were brilliant. Whoever directed this little gem I will be forever grateful ?.

Great story, great actors - I've rewatched it three times already
One of my absolute favorites of Thai series! Great story and great acting from all six main actors. Addresses several interesting and current topics such as acceptance of homosexuality, disability, poverty and class differences, that in some cases friends can be even more important than one's biological family, how trauma can affect one many years later, etc. I've rewatched it three times already.Was this review helpful to you?

Loved from start to Finish
This is a must watch. The chemistry between Mix and Earth is always fire. The way they look at eachother literally melts your heart ( as it should) . I dont even mind it takes so long for them to actually get together. Its such a beautiful story and pretty emotional at times. Not to mention khaotung is an acting phenomenon. Even though we dont see as much KhaoFirst as we would like, their talent is not overshadowed even slightly. And of course we love our GeminiFourth duo. Their story is so adorable and they do an amazing job. Lastly we cant forget Mark. He is such a light to the show and I love him so much in this series. Will watch again and again.Was this review helpful to you?
SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A BL
When we hear "BL", people start to stereotyping. but BL is not or it shouldn't be a "genre" as we don't have the "straight" genre.This show is something else and dare I say one of the best works of P'Aof.
The casting was on point. Choosing EarthMix was the right choice as they show chemistry in a level we haven't seen before and their acting was convincing and emotional. This was Gemini Fourth first work together (they shoot it before MSP) and they SHINE. Fourth played anxiety and angst so well while Gemini on his first job had to act without being able to talk and it was perfect. First and Khaotung were also amazing in portraying emotion and heartbreak but nothing new there.
The cinematography and photography that allowed us to see the real skin tones of Earth and Khatung is amazing for me and that's something P'Aof always brings in his shows. It was also beautiful, aestheticly speaking
the storyline made me cry several times. it was a good script and the actors knew how to bring it to life.
We got past traumas, the harsh reality of those in lower class, anxiety, family issues, the struggles of parenting, internalized homophobia, grief... and all of this being treated with respect and realism

TOXIC UKE
Honestly, I have no issues with the series. The series is too good that it heals my missing feeling of EarthMix and everyone knows how skillful EarthMix are. The plot is definitely not rushed and I applaud GMMTV for producing these kind of plot series, they are getting better from time to time. It started where Jim had a one night stand with Wen that were one of his customer that got drunk. Though, he couldn't get rid of Wen from his life since Wen decided to chase after Jim. I understand that they try to make Earth looks older since Jim's character is almost 40 and Wen is almost 30 but they only manage to make Earth looks hotter not older. LMAO XD. So let's talk about the pairing in this series!1. Jim x Wen
To be honest, I like Jim's character. He reject Wen with the softest way EVA. Not once in this series, there is part where Jim raise his voice or treat Wen coldly. ( except where Jim scold Li Ming but it only give butterflies to me tbh lol ). Anyway, Jim is being too soft with Wen yet he is being firm. I don't know exactly how to explain his character but if you watch them, you will understand what I mean by this. Can I just say that I really hate Wen? He is so fucking toxic bro. Like I understand that you fell out of love but he is treating Alan like shit. Like he is nothing. The conflict between Wen and Alan is pretty simple which is one of the fell out of love and instead of moving out of the condo and be firm that he no longer wants to be in the relationship with Alan, Wen decided to stay in the condo and lives together with Alan. SO you tell me, which part in his action truly says 'Im done with you'? And also, I think that Wen is not being honest with Alan, especially about his likes and dislikes. The fact that he has force himself to like beef because Alan likes them, really caught me in red flag. I truly truly dont like Wen. He is selfish and slight pick me. Im sorry but I love Mix. Just the role is trash.
2. Heart x Li Ming
ABSOLUTE LOVEEEEEE <3 <3 <3 !!!! I mean I don't really like Gemini but um HELLO??? His acting brings us the audience to a new level to be honest and I truly love their story. I think it is damn pure but what's with the fake kiss scene ? I mean I try to not let what Gemini said about his r/s with Fourth into this series but damn, now I see it. It truly feels like one sided love as per Fourth said in his live. Anyway, the chemistry on screen is perfect especially that Fourth plays Li Ming's character really well; a hot headed and stubborn high schooler which is perfect by the way. FOURTH IS GORGEOUS OKAYY. I couldn't help but to keep on smiling at the way he is smiling and can we please bring more sign language exposure in more series? Sign language is truly beautiful and I like the fact that Li Ming learn how to use sign language so he could communicate with Heart better. I really love their story, just an innocent high schoolers friendship that turned to be love.
3. Alan x Gaipa
To be honest, they don't have much scenes together since they only get to know each other at the end of the series where Gaipa's mother passed away and Alan appeared to be the one that is taking care of her account ( sheesh she is loaded ). Anyway, I like how First's eyes locked with Khao's, to show how he is hooked with Gaipa when Gaipa doesn't even realized that Alan has taken liking of him. Their relationship is the perfect interpretation of 'Someone's ending is someone's beginning' and I like that the series doesn't really shows everyone's perfect ending.
I am still shooketh at the sex scene tho- I MEAN.... UMMMMMM HELLO???????? I AM TOO SHOOK THAT I HAVE TO PAUSE MYSELF FOR 10 MINUTES. AND DONT FORGET FIRST AND MIX'S KISS SCENE TOO. K BYE\
anyway, love this series. minus 0.5 for Wen's character.

This show was beautiful.
Wow. I can't believe they did all that in 8 episodes. For me personally, the alanwen storyline hit so close to home since I was also going through a similar situation and they had a hard time letting go. I feel you wen. I also want to touch on Khaotung's acting because its SO GOOD. He earned that award. His acting is phenomenal so as the other actors too. And yes, I did watch it for gem4th as heartliming but they did so well too! I love the fact they didn't add any subtitles to the sign used and I was able to research them. You should definitely give this a watch, I highly recommend!?Was this review helpful to you?
A Masterpiece
This is the best thai bl I've seen since getting into the genre. I am recently diving deeper into the genre and this was just amazing. The characters actually felt like real people whereas some series felt like I was just seeing caricatures of people. These characters are flawed in a likable way that lets you have your own opinion on them. Though at some point around episode 6 I lost interest in the main relationship and was sticking around for other characters. I quickly fell in love with Leng and Gaipa but Li Ming and Heart stole the show for me. Their relationship was so beautiful and the pure feeling of their romance is a great parallel to the main couple and their more adult problems compared. This is the second series I have watched that I've seen Khaotung and his acting stole the show for me once again, he's truly amazing.Was this review helpful to you?
Vale totalmente la pena.
Uno de mis BL favoritos. Es una historia con mucha profundidad, los personajes son desafiantes para los actores e hicieron un muy buen trabajo y la química de las parejas es muy buena. Los conflictos que se plantean son muy verosímiles, sutilmente tratados, repito que los actores hicieron un excelente trabajo, la sensibilidad, la amistad, el dolor y el desamor están retratados de forma descarnada y hermosa. Me gustó mucho la fotografía y los colores también.Me hubiera gustado un poco más de desarrollo a la historia de Alan y Gaipa, si tengo que decir que algo me faltó.
Destaco a Earth y a Fourth en sus personajes que fueron mis favoritos, sobre todo el de Fourth que me pareció un personaje hermosísimo pero a la vez super complejo y que lo hizo lucirse siendo un actor tan jóven y con tan poca experiencia.

REALLY A SERIES THAT IS WORTHY OF GAZE MUCH LIKE A MOONLIGHT
Here, I'll leave it here already: ANOTHER TOP-NOTCH MINI SERIES!!Everytime EarthMix is in the series, it makes it better but to add Gem4th is just too much for me to handle ahahgjfhd!!!!! This series captured my heart. It wasn't lackluster at all, not a lovey-dovey. Ngl I was expecting more to unfold from this mini series in Midnight Series. The cinematography is just chef's kiss. It felt like it used the cinematographical feature from I Told Sunset About You which is nostalgic yet beautiful. The shots here and there are greeted with another praise from this ho.
The story is realistic about life. I really thought the plot is well-thought of and the cast really did their thing. There's so much to unpack here.
Okay the first scene, well the One Night is damn convincing enough for me that EarthMix are a versatile couple. They really proven themselves over and over again. Mix really did that, being flirtatious to justify his character. I also love how Li Ming is emphasized. His longing for a better life working abroad albeit a minor. The hardships felt real. The diner closing down bcuz of the owner, loan, misbehaving nephew and more. It all really rained down on me. Mind u, I don't felt forced to be fed with those as I let myself immerse in the story.
The rest of the cast are good but the bestsellers in my heart being EarthMix and Gem4th really had me enjoying the series even more. Bruh I swear I never remembered Heart being deaf. All I could remember from the trailer is that One Night scene of EarthMix lol!!!
Anyways, it felt unique to have one of the leads being disabled which makes it something to enjoy watching considering I've never have seen a couple like this. The sign languages and the heartfelt convos between Gem4th really sold me.
This series really just unfolded many further situations that are really hard to face in real life. Unwanted early pregnancy, death of a relative (which happened on 7th ep), loveless relationship that needs to end, confronting the fact that your ex had family and his sudden death to Li Ming's issue with her long lost mother.
I thought my issue was it's only 8 eps and I thought FirstKhao should have their characters develop with each other more. But I'm still glad that most of the problems were settled properly within 8 eps. I think there's not much anything to say. The writing for this series is simply great. GMM should create another one of this. I've never watched any other Midnight Series along with it but I can safely assume this to be the best among the rest!
