Love upon a Time

CALLING IT A MASTERPIECE WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!

how do i even start because this is truly a MASTERPIECE in every matter, the acting, the production, the direction, the writing, the screenplay, the music everything is so perfect. how can a show be this good?? DMD outdoes itself everytime, i have so much to express but i just don't know how to put it in words because it was that PERFECT..
honestly if you are having second thoughts whether to start it or not or if you stopped watching after 2 episodes thinking it's slow or something, PLEASE DO CONTINUE IT BECAUSE IT IS THE BL OF 2026!! every episode is another level of perfection and they just raise the bar higher and higher every episode and the finale was so beautiful, it was everything i could ever ask for and also the way they explained everything was so good!!!
i always used to think nothing can top Khemjira for me because it was another level of masterpiece but now i am having second thoughts because i can't decide which is actually number 1 for me, episode 11 especially, left me speechless that what did i just witness?? the way it was shot and the way it was paced was another level of perfection.
ABOUT NETJJ, NEED I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEM?? they are so perfect for each other and their chemistry bleeds through the screen, not even a single dull moment, oh my goodness, the way i love them is unreal and the way i love this series is unreal, the way net acted as p'phop is perfection, the way net shows his yearning from his eyes is just too good and JJ was born to play klao/nakhun because nakhun is JJ in many waysss, i love how their story was paced and honestly i would expect nothing less from P'DEN, he is hands down THE BEST DIRECTOR for me, netjj has come to my top 3 bl pairs after this and as they should havee!!!
i love how they didn't ignore their second leads and gave them an actual good pacing and story throughout the series and i agree in some episodes their screentime was less but honestly it was for the good because they weren't that much related to the mystery and it was nicely paced till the endd!!
ALSO IF YOU ARE NOT WATCHING THIS BECAUSE YOU AREN'T A FAN OF PERIOD DRAMAS, TRUST ME IT'S DIFFERENT, it doesn't just focus on one thing, it's actually really well done and has majority of the scenes related to their story, NOT A SINGLE DULL MOMENT every scene has a purpose.
AND THE WEDDING IN THE LAST EPISODE WAS EVERYTHINGGGG, I WAS CRYINGGGG
coming to nc scenes, we know how beautifully dmd does nc scenes and they are so wholesome, all the nc in this series is so beautiful and doesn't look like that it's done just for the sake of doing it, like how do i put it, it feels so ethereal, their chemistry bleeds through the screen!!
i have yapped stuff randomly, but to conclude,
CALLING IT A MASTERPIECE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT BECAUSE IT IS MORE THAN THAT!!
DMD HAS DONE IT AGAIN, THEY HAVE MADE ONE OF THE BEST BLS EVER... AND IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TOP THIS!!

THE BEST SHOW IVE WATCHED IN A WHILE

Now hold my hand while you read this, I think the plot overall worked so well with Netjj as a couple. Especially since the original pilot was with James but I think Jj suited the role overall better.

Although they adapted it from the novel and changed parts especially with holding Khlaos stuff when he died, I think they way they changed it made it prettier. The fact they still were intertwined and that they showed the confused effect on JJ’s character both times he changes time zones just helps illustrate the plot altogether!

ALSO IN THE LAST EPISODE I DONT KNOW WHAT KIM ATE BUT HE LOOKED STUNNING!!

The showcase of the Marriage Equity Law of 2025 was also illustrated amazingly and you can’t help but feel so happy and the representation of it was amazing!

100% would rewatch!!

I went in with high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed.

ACTING: I found a couple of the actors acting to feel very by-the-book, but it honestly didn't bother me; they still did a good job. I particularly liked JJ's acting; I found his energy and facial expressions (especially his smile) to be perfect for a comedy series. This isn't a comedy series, so we didn't get much of that side of him, but you get a good judge of his acting from seeing this and the more serious side that he has for the majority of the show. I'd only seen JJ in "I saw you in my dream" and "The Next Prince" previously and I found his acting very stiff in "I saw you in my dream" which was understandable for his first role, and we honestly didn't get enough of him in "The Next Prince" but based on what little I did see I can tell he's really improved. On a side note, I love it when JJ speaks English, something about it is really cute. JJ & Net really know how to cry.

OST: Was pretty & not overbearing. They went with the mood really well, and the lyrics often matched what was happening in the story or between the characters.

PRODUCTION: Very well done. My only complaint is that there were some moments where we were just staring or rotating around the characters when we could have just moved on, and there are way too many moments where the characters are just standing in silence for too long. Even when we are getting internal dialogue from Nakun, the silence stretches long enough to be awkward.

PLOT: As time-traveling stories go, I think this is one of my favorites. I like how it worked. I do think they spent a little too much time trying to explain it as if it could logically be explained, but it was also nice to hear some of the different viewpoints. Normally, I'm really disappointed when the characters in a series have to investigate something because it feels like they either aren't doing enough or they are overlooking the obvious, which makes them look stupid. Not in this series. I liked it, and the historical setting (which I normally don't like) made it better. I liked that gathering information and proof was harder than it is today, where literally everything can leave a paper trail or video evidence. I also liked that Nakun was noticing the small details; he was really trying to Detective Conan this shit.

ROMANCE/CHEMISTRY: I liked both couples, but the chemistry wasn't anything explosive. For Nakun and Phop, it felt like a natural progression, but with Jom and Kaew, it felt very reserved, which I guess fits with the time period. For Thee and Pun, it didn't make me feel anything at all, and that's probably because we don't really see their progression from passive to interested. Besides My Stobborn, this is the first time I've been interested in the NC scenes.

PRODUCT PLACEMENT: Made no sense, but I found it funny.

SPOILERS:

I'm so used to the main character traveling through time mentally that it was a bit shocking that Nakun physically traveled clothes, jewelry, and all. It makes sense because Klao is dead and there's no living body for him to enter, and honestly, I think I prefer this because it's like Klao's death was the trigger for the time travel. It reminds me a little of Two Worlds, where they can only travel if the other world's version of themselves is dead. I'm assuming that age matters as well, but it was never brought up in all the explanations they were giving us, so I'm not sure.

When Nakun is randomly sent back to the present day, we spend a lot more time mourning than I expected. I love that we got to see everyone in the past mourning for Klao/Nakun, whereas a lot of series would just move on to them meeting again in the future and living happily ever after. We get to see Phop find Klao's body and then slowly waste away till he dies. I do wish we had gotten to know how long after Nakun returns to the past that it took. Nakun is given time (no idea how much) to heal and become more mentally stable after he returns before he meets Phop again. I did tear up a couple of times seeing both Nakun and Phop become so lifeless. Nakun at least had hope that Phop was alive and that he just had to find him, whereas Phop found Klao's body.

I was upset about them just missing each other because it's so overused, but it's probably in the novel as well.

(I may read the novel, actually.)

I also REALLY love that Phop used a wishing stone to wish to be reincarnated near Klao with all of his memories. He got his memories back on his 20th birthday as well, around a year before Nakun traveled back in time, and it was interesting to see him put the pieces together and then set things up for his trip to the past.

Nakun gets his ring back! It's apparently Phop's family heirloom, which I found interesting.

I would have liked to have seen more of their time together inbetween them meeting again and their marriage, but this is me wanting too much, and I'm aware of that. The "wedding," if it can be called that, was literally just an announcement and signing the paperwork, which they somehow made sweet.

What was the bracelet about? What did it actually do, if anything? We see it vibrate or something a couple of times in the first episode, and then it literally does nothing. Did I miss something? If I did, please, someone explain it to me because I was watching for this darn bracelet to do something or mean something in every episode, only for it to amount to nothing. Now that I think about it, this is the thing that annoyed me the most out of the series, and I thought all the scenes with the mom went on WAY too long, especially the one where Nakun realizes that she's the reincarnation of Klao's father. Why did we have to rotate around them, hugging for so long?

A couple of annoying things aside, I really loved this show.

You Who Came From The Stars.

If you ever had a chance to meet a version of you from another life and timeline, what would you do?
Love Upon A Time's underlying theme rests upon this fact. Like any other time travel drama, it comes with the same caveats, but what I admired about the story as it wrapped up, was how consistent the characters and rules of time were.
You just know that there existed a distinction between the past and the present, almost as if the flow was rough around the seams. But, it is this little point that made me add an additional half stars to my 8.5 rating.
Well, here goes my thoughts.

Time travel and History are two genres that rarely do well in synergy. The suspension of disbelief becomes a necessity to admire its beautiful and often tragic elements; something that viewers find highly disconcerting as the existence of paradoxes makes the former impossible to ignore. And melancholy is a feeling desired by none.
But, without a doubt, none can deny that they are always suspenseful, regardless of what genre of time travel the story is attempting to convey. Was it going to be a romance? Doomed for sure. Were they going to change the past? A price has to be paid.
Hence, isekai dramas, although a deluge of them are already present, tend to scare away viewers.
Like all drama viewers, I too, have had my fair share of the same genre. The Eternal Love, my first Chinese Drama, happens to be of the exact same kind as Love Upon a Time. If you think Nakhun Patthanathada was over the top, Qu Tan Er would have given him a run for his money — the girl got transported a thousand years back and she did not even attempt to hide that she was not the same person as she was before.

Scratch all that, I love time travel dramas and novels. Unfortunately, our male lead Nakhun Patthanathada doesn’t.

★ A rational English Literature student. Nakhun, finds himself plagued by a series of ill omens, culminating in him spectacularly failing Thai History as well as inciting his English Professor to grant the class an assignment on whether they believe in time travel fiction after he trenchantly refuses to divulge from logic. Fate offers him a chance to fix both his academic issues - sending him back directly to Ayuthaya Kingdom, 400 years ago.
Forced to assume the identity of a certain “Klao”, he attempts to navigate the past with his non-existent knowledge and find out what had happened to the real Klao. All while being constantly monitored by Klao’s childhood friend, Lord Phop, who starts to suspect that the new Klao indeed might not be the one he had known.

★ The drama begins with a pilot episode that goes a tad bit overboard with emphasizing how exactly unlucky Nakhun was. It takes its sweet time, introducing characters very much earlier while slowly building up the plot around them, letting their personalities and relations simmer and settle. Particularly characters such as Jom and Kaew.
Moreover, Klao’s storyline is literally buoyed by an ensemble cast - particularly Phop and the servants Chuay, Sai, Phong and the cooking Lady, who offer insights and flashbacks into the mysterious Klao’s past. Something that Nakhun himself might not be able to provide.

Personally, I liked how they managed to instill the truth about how high the stakes were for Nakhun - he was nowhere close to the real Klao and his modern shenanigan and detective work combined with the classic historical set up that characters such as Phop lived by gave an amalgamation of two different genres in a rather comic manner - it was romance for Phop while it was a mystery for Nakhun.

★ I’ve always admired JJ’s skills after seeing him in The Next Prince. (Yeah. Considering that his plotline was pure smoke, he managed to create something out of nothing just through sheer talent, which is why I remember him.)
But, Love Upon A Time gives him the opportunity to portray a variety of emotions - Nakhun is a versatile character who changes according to the person he deals with. He is rather funny with Thee, doesn’t mess around with Pun, careful with his words when it comes to Phop and manipulates both Phop and Chuay to get his way. He is also sharp and knows to defend himself quite well.
While Nakhun is more serene, the character Klao is hinted to have had a miserable existence. Moreover, we can make out exactly how different those two were.

★ They do not kid around with time travel. The prickly part? The viewers are stuck in the past as Nakhun is. This can be either thrilling or annoying, but as I am in the former category, I did not mind it much.

★ As for Nakhun and Phop’s romance? Nakhun clearly informs viewers about what he thinks of their relationship and I share the same sentiments as his.
Phop is already in love with Klao, which Nakhun perceives quite early in the story. From Nakhun’s point of view, the romance is fun and easy to follow and is evidently the lighter aspects of the rather tumultuous past of Klao. But, the caveat? It is bound to be doomed.
So, in spite of cheering for the couple, viewers can't help but feel despair. They were bound to the rules of the time and time itself was their biggest enemy.
Then, there is Phop. Who is clearly stuck somewhere in the middle of a modern romance and historical tragedy.
Net is an expressive actor and he does not disappoint, bringing Phop’s internal dilemma to life. He shines in the final episodes, both as Phop and Tinnaphob. I have to give it to him, his future self was a lot more calm and composed as compared to Phop from the past.

★ Jom - it's surprising that he received a lot of dislike initially. To me, he was a very interesting character and I found his actions quite different from how others perceived him. I might be in the wrong, though.
Latte plays the two very different characters extremely convincing – one was a goofball foolishly in love with Pun while the other was a very serious Physician who thwarts Kaew’s attempt at romance. Just like JJ’s Nakhun and Klao. Both characters are a stark contrast to their modern counterparts.

★ Kaew/Pun -- the most consistent character in both the past and present. Kim Pongsaton was absolutely ethereal in his role. Calm, quite and collected to both Thee and Nakun's, he was a scene stealer.
His romance with Thee was both endearing and heartbreaking to watch.

★ The Friendships, particularly between Jom/Thee, Pun/Kaew and Nakun was heartwarming. Not to mention Chuay, Sai and Phong

The story is almost told by an ensemble cast without whom the plot wouldn't move forward. Even minor characters like Varna exist to prove a point rather than simply being a plot device.

★ Nakhun and his mother -- initially glimpsed in EP1, her presence as a very important person in Nakun's life doesn't change, even when he goes back to the past. There was something deeply moving about seeing the simple love between a parent and child being portrayed on-screen. (I'm in a similar situation as him when it comes to college, which might be the reason it struck home.)

★ Villains -- the mystery is rather high stakes and dawdles as a result of the 'culprit'. But, it is not until the final half of the drama that things begin to become more clear. I have to say, by the end of the drama, I felt rather satisfied with how everything wrapped up.

★ The Soundtrack was absolutely beautiful. All the different OSTs, along with their instruments were absolutely wonderful. Particularly the one by Bowkylion and JJ.

And so were the traditional outfits. I loved Kaew's in particular as it seemed to simple suit him perfectly. Also, Phop's uniform and Varna's outfits.

★ Is the drama perfect? No way - but that's the thing about time travel dramas. Considering that we had only one and a quarter episode to reestablish Nakun's life back into the future. There is also an upsetting truth when it came to this, but I understand why it had to happen that way.
But, Love Upon A Time acknowledged these inevitable changes and boldly pulled the story closed without leaving any loose threads.

★ This is definitely one of the best works by Mandee Channel, perhaps following Khemjira, Your Sky and Duang With You. There was a story and characters to build up and they managed to arrive at a neat denoument without stepping off line.
Kudos to the cast and crew and I'll definitely be looking forward to Net, JJ, Kim and Latte's future works.

I began this as an experimental watch, but three months later, I have completed it with satisfaction. A solid 9/10 for being one of the most wholesome dramas I've seen this year.

A beautiful picture on time travel

I've really enjoyed this.

It started not so heavy; it was balanced, aesthetically pleasing, and more active.
JJ's effortless acting made me want to binge-watch more episodes. I believe this time-travel Thai BL has satisfied me enough; throughout the finale, it has resolved and closed every loop and unveiled many mysteries. I don't see any plot holes, nor find the plot boring even in the slightest.

It took Nakun two full episodes to settle into the Ayutthaya Kingdom, and that was the most realistic. While some may find it over the top, I daresay it accurately depicts a 21-year-old travelling back in time from 2023(?) to 400 years ago.

Phop was the loveliest character whom I sheerly enjoyed from the very start to the end. Net has done a fantastic job capturing Phop's kindness, warmth, and nurturing nature, embodying such gentleness in the accent and action.

This lovely series has been made lively and enjoyable by the supporting characters Chuai, Sai, and Khong. I haven't seen a film with such a compelling storyline and outstanding actors in a very long time.
I was taken aback by Kim and Latte. They surprised me with their divine acting. It was my first time watching them on screen, and the way they depicted their strong, quivering roles enthralled me.
Kim's so pretty; I had thought I'd miss his beauty by the periodical manly attire; however, his role did stand out and speak.

(Is it just me who finds both Chan and Hyunjin in Latte? ><)

Even though I enjoy the show, I think JJ could do a better job acting in some of the more poignant (sad) and romantic scenes. Although I find some of his frames unsettling, he did a good job in his roles. I am looking forward to his upcoming projects. He made this series so much fun.

The marriage felt a little lacklustre, but it ended well, and I'm thrilled that my Phop has his beloved at last, hehe.

Love Upon a Time should be the standard for the BL industry.

Net Siraphop, JJ Radchapon, Latte Thanutchon, Kim Pongsaton and all the other incredible actors and actresses that made Love Upon a Time come true, I wish I could give you the biggest hug and "thank you" ever. I don't exactly know what happened to DMD''s ever since they produced Your Sky but they've been hitting the jackpot over and over again.

Love Upon a Time starts as a really light and even funny (for the first three episodes) series and then it starts with the "real" lore and Nakhun's realization that he is in Klao's body and has a duty to complete. I don't have enough words to describe how incredible JJ is for this role; his acting is phenomenal and we can notice the difference between Klao from the past and Nakhun pretending to be Klao, just because JJ is THAT good. Net is always delivering with his acting and I'll never get tired of appreciating him and all his effort to make LUAT come true. Jom/Thee and Kaew/Pun are also portrayed extremely well and I truly love their stories — but I still wish the series had focused a little bit more on them and their stories, like with CharnJet in Khemjira. All the other actors that gave life to amazing characters to the series, like Chuay, Sai, Kong, Pim, Cherd, Harn, Warna, Chai, Meng, Klao's dad and Phop's parents, you all deserve so much acknowledgment.

LUAT is everyting we needed and I hope it is remembered for being a true masterpiece for the bl industry. I can't wait to see NETTJJ and LATTEKIM in new projects and showing the potential they truly have.

A Time‑Travel Romance That Completely Swept Me Away

As someone who doesn't like period BLs, I LOVED Love Upon a Time from start to finish. It has the perfect balance of comedy, angst, romance, and mystery that hit all my sweet spots. It also had the perfect amount of modernity/modern behaviors to keep me entertained. I genuinely had such a good time watching it.

CHARACTERS:
Nakun, our MC, was my fav part of the show. His Gen‑Z-coded humor and chaotic energy was hilarious in the Ayutthaya era. What I loved the most about him was his character growth. You can see the shift in personality/behavior. It felt really satisfying.

Phop is the definition of a green flag ML. He’s so down bad and gentle, but his character does not solely exist for romance. He has his own identity, values, and emotional depth.

Jom is the reserved doctor who tends to feel a lot of things, but struggles to express it. His internal conflict adds weight that contrasts the main couple in the story.

Kaew is the sweetheart who wears his heart on his sleeve. He is soft and sweet, but he is no pushover. He will fight back and doesn’t let himself be used.

PLOT/WRITING
For me, one of LUAT’s biggest strengths is how well-rounded every character is. This isn’t one of those dramas where only the main couple gets depth. Every character has different motivations and flaws. You can understand why they behave the way they do, and that makes the story feel realistic even when the genre is fantasy.
The blend of different genres was handled pretty well. The emotional moments broke my heart, the comedy made me cackle, and the mystery made me intrigued. However, the only critique I would give here is that sometimes the unnecessary scenes (to the plot) got a bit too long and happened a bit often, which messed with the pacing of the story.

CHEMISTRY
NetJJ’s chemistry was fantastic. There was something so compelling about them that I couldn’t take my eyes off every single interaction of theirs. I can confidently say I’ve become a fan (fan as in I will be looking forward to all their future dramas and works) of them as a pairing. LatteKim also delivered so much chemistry, despite not having too much screentime.

ACTING/PERFORMANCE
Net’s acting, especially eye acting, was fabulous. The way he portrayed the yearning of his character was simply so beautiful to see. His acting was consistently good throughout the drama, but his emotional performances are my favorite.

JJ had a lot of standout moments as well. Comedy is clearly one of his biggest strengths. His portrayal of Nakhun’s chaotic nature was quite charming and funny. His anger-driven scenes and his performance as Klao were also excellent. I was genuinely able to believe that Klao and Nakhun were two different personalities. The only area he struggled at was scenes that required grief-driven sadness. Some scenes were decent, but the scenes that required crying felt inconsistent, and there were scenes where he seemed either emotionally drained or unsure of how to portray that level of grief. I do wish the director would have guided him more carefully, especially considering this is JJ’s first main lead/big role. Either way, I think he has a lot of potential to improve and grow as he gains more experience.

Latte and Kim delivered solid performances as well. Their performances complemented the main couple well. I would definitely say that the MVP of acting in this drama would be Net or the actor performing as Cherd. Cherd’s performance was just..🤌. Amazing, nothing short of amazing.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Overall, this was a very enjoyable drama. It knows exactly what it wants to be and embraces that. It has well-rounded characters, great chemistry, beautiful OSTs, and good performances. LUAT definitely one of the more enjoyable shows I’ve watched this year. I would definitely recommend giving it a try. However, this drama does have a lot of Thai-style humor and is very slow-burn. If you don’t enjoy either of those things, then this one might not be for you.

Very beautiful but a little shallow

Everything is beautiful in this show: the artistic direction, the costumes, the sets, the actors... I loved the direction, it felt like watching a movie.

Amongst the cast, Net and Kim distinguished themselves. They are both not only beautiful, but they also manage to convey very naturally the emotions of their characters. It was a pleasure to watch Net's soulfull eyes portray a myriad of emotions. JJ is fine, a little stiff from time to time, but he has pretty good chemistry with Net. Latte is so wooden when he plays Jom! He obviously struggled with the more emotional scenes.
But overall the cast is pretty good.

Unfortunately, the plot is quite bland and boring, be it in the present or the past. The characters don't realy evolve and never feel like real humans. There is little to no personal conflict, or, when there is, it felt contrived, with the characters changing their minds from one minute to the next.

As for the mystery surrounding Klao's father's death, it felt quite hollow. Klao/Nakun ignores obvious clues for the longest time, and then the show rushes to a reveal that felt out of left field.

The female characters were virtualy non existant. It's quite sad because the writers could have done something to make the plot more interesting by developping Lady Varna or Pim's stories.

I'm a bit ambivalent about the love scenes. They seemed a little tacked on and self indulgent, but they were also beautifully shot. I think they were just a little too long.

The show was pleasant to watch, but a bit disappointing plotwise given the obvious care for the production. Too bad.

Love Upon a Time stood out so much compared to the standard BL formula

Wow, where do I even start? For me, this was easily one of the best Thai BLs I’ve watched so far.
It’s so refreshing to watch a historical series where the plot actually drives the show, rather than just using a thin storyline as an excuse to jump from one intimate scene to the next.
I honestly can't believe I watched an entire series without skipping a single scene, and that it had an actual plot! The producers clearly started with a solid storyline and built a genuine show around it, rather than just using the project as an excuse to have the actors engage in overly sexualized scenes.
The time-travel aspect felt grounded and well-paced instead of being all over the place, and the characters had real depth.
I have to say, Klao is officially one of the best "bottom" characters in Thai BL history.
Having a character who isn't just a passive, trope-heavy submissive, but rather a witty, capable person who stands up for himself, is a huge breath of fresh air
He threw punches when he needed to, never solely relied on the "top" to save the day, and had a vibrant personality that didn't just revolve around tired tropes. He was smart and grounded in his interactions, and I absolutely loved his dynamic with Prim and the other women around him.
Meanwhile, Phop easily joins the list of best Thai BL tops. He is the ultimate green flag (and the fact that Net is absolutely delightful to look at certainly didn't hurt). I got so emotional watching him fight for his love in an era where it wasn't accepted.
Even the second leads had a really wonderful plotline in their previous lives and weren't annoying in the slightest. As for the finale, it genuinely satisfied me. It was truly the best happy ending we could have gotten from a time-travel plot.
Overall, I am incredibly happy with this drama. While the acting could have been significantly better in certain scenes, especially from JJ, it was still highly enjoyable. The main leads had insane chemistry without it feeling overly explicit or borderline pornographic. Even the intimate scenes felt deeply tender rather than exploitative. I will definitely be keeping an eye on Net and JJ for future projects.
"To a love unbound by gender, standing resolute against the tides of time."
That was the perfect line to end the show. It left me so emotional, especially knowing how many real people throughout history never got to have their happy ending

Great story

I liked the story a lot, it had a few good surprises. I also liked how they deducted the trap they had set, in so many dramas something happens and it never gets explained.
I didn't like the comedy part of it, it was too overdone. That could have been the script, but it also just could have been JJ. In my opinion he is not fit for comedy, he is too exaggerated in acting when he does comedy.
The visuals and cinematography were great! And the music was beautiful.

The overall acting of the whole cast was great!
Net is one of Thailands best actors, his acting is so natural and he is so good in subtle facial expressions. And with his beautiful appearance he is a total package.
I was very impressed by Kim, his acting was amazing, and he is soo feminine and beautiful.
The only comments i have according the acting was the acting of JJ and Latte. When JJ does serious parts he is a great actor, but when he tries to be funny it's way too much and fake. Latte is good at acting, but his acting is sometimes a bit flat, he needs a bit more practice with subtle facial expressions.
Both couples had great chemistry, with amazing kisses and NC scenes.

I recommend watching this drama.

⭐ for acting is for Net

As for the storyline, I actually think it’s quite good. It’s not the same old storyline we always see, so that was a plus for me. The plot itself was interesting enough, even though the pacing was a big problem.

The acting, however, couldn’t really make me happy. Klao is not a very convincing actor for me. His emotions don’t feel stable or natural. When he is crying, sometimes it looks like he is laughing, and when he is laughing, it can feel a little silly. I honestly think he needs to work harder on expressing his emotions naturally.

For the main couple, their chemistry just wasn’t chemistrying for me. 😭 I didn’t really feel that strong connection between them. And honestly, I feel like the whole couple dynamic was being carried by Net. Net is already a good actor, and he knows how to express his emotions well. He was the one who kept the emotional side of the drama going and basically carried a lot of the scenes.

I also felt bad for Net because even though JJ, who plays Nakun, isn’t a very strong actor for me, Net managed to cover for him really well. I feel like because of Net’s acting, I was able to continue watching the drama instead of dropping it.

Even though I liked the storyline, the drama was way too slow for me. I skipped quite a lot because so many parts felt unnecessarily dragged out. Honestly, after the first two or three episodes, I was already thinking about dropping it. But because of Net, I held on and eventually finished it.

So, overall, I wouldn’t highly recommend this drama, but I also wouldn’t say it’s 100% bad. The storyline is actually worth trying if you like this kind of plot. Just be prepared for the slow pacing and some questionable acting. 😂

For me, this is more of a “watch if you want, skip if you’re bored” drama. If you’re curious, give it a try—you can always skip through the slower parts.
