Adorable
So I am one of those people who happens to LOVE MAME--she has this ability to:A) create love stories seemingly out of thin air, and
B) Create both beautifully flawed human characters, and sweet fluffy well meaning ones that aren't too saccharin
She did the latter with Wedding Plan, and she's maturing as a screenwriter, which really shows in both this series and LITA(see my LITA review for the reasons why)
Yes, the series was a little bit short, but it was well executed and well acted. I loved the clever idea behind the title and the awesome LITA cameos(seriously, how cute is it to see Sky/P'Pai and Payu/Rain's stories tied up in such a cute little bow, I squealed SO MUCH).
Pak is so freakin cute I could die. His portrayal of Nuea as someone I just want to hug and cuddle is spot on. He's so well meaning and so sensitive and just wants to be a good guy. I absolutely adore that he fights his feelings for Lom BECAUSE HE IS A GENUINELY GOOD GUY, and not just for the plot's sake. His over thinking made me smile so damn much and when he cried, I cried with him.
Lom is interesting in that he is very upfront with his intensions toward Nuea, but he also proves what a loyal friend he can be to Yiwa by sticking by her through this crazy plan. His pursuit of Nuea and the way that he is totally open about it(at least with Nuea and not his family) is refreshing, and made me squeal. I hope Sunny does more series because his performance had me glued to the screen.
Can I have a best friend like Yiwa? Aya is freaking adorable and authentic and knows her character inside and out. The scene after the initial wedding plan meeting where she is so encouraging to Lom and and everyone around her won me over. This girl also has some spine and substance which is fabulous after seeing female BL characters that just seem to be in the series for comedic effect or to Make Things Complicated for the Main Leads, or just to be annoying.
I was smiling every time Yiwa was on the screen and even before I had a clear idea of what exactly was going on I loved her conversation in the car with Lom about if he pursued Nuea she would support him( I thought it was a little weird, yes, but I was willing to roll with it, especially after I knew why she said it.
Both couples in this series are fantastically healthy. Yes, there is a little bit of miscommunication between Nuea and Lom, but it comes from a very real place of Fear of Rejection(Lom) and Wanting To Do The Right Thing(Nuea), but Yiwa and Marine's relationship was a fabulous contrast to that. Neither couple had anything cringey and both the NC scenes where HOT(the girls were a little tamer, but that's ok cause it still made me smile).
I did take off one star for story, mostly because after Nuea ran back home the plot felt a little rushed and I would have loved to see more of Lom and Nuea together with Nuea's family but the little snippet we got was ok--especially Donut and Forth as Ryu and Sun(when do we get their story, because awwwwwwwwwwwww)
Also, that Tongrak reference made me squeal for more than one reason (LOVE SEA--and if the worship ceremony pics are anything to go by, Aya is in that cast as a Support Role and I am TOTALLY THERE FOR THAT BECAUSE I WANT MORE AYA!!!)
(Can you see that this show had me smiling and squealing a lot? Ha, ha.)
Wedding Plan was a fun fluffy sweet little binge, and yes I've already seen it four times and will keep watching it when I need to indulge in a mini squeal fest, the end!

A MAME offering, but…not bad? I mean, not great either, although I will put up with a lot for the premise because I eat stuff like that up, but I've seen way worse from MAME. However, it's not going to become a guilty pleasure show like LITA or an unexpected comfort show despite myself (at least the AePete parts) like Love by Chance. It was fine. Things I really did like: Nuea's family and his workmates (I loved how fiercely both sets of people stood by and supported him through everything from his huge mistake in sleeping with the groom to running back home to deal with it to basically adopting Lom into the group when they worked it out ("we have a new brother in law"). The lesbians - I could have used a bit more heat but I'll take it for now. Let's work on normalizing GL in our BL (frankly I'd love it if we started doing more of that and less of the token straight couple or three)! Was a little annoyed by how they had to fix everything but I won't pretend that the bits with them in episode 6 didn't get to me - I may have teared up a little when Marine was being treated so horribly by Yiwa's mother - that whole thing was so upsetting on a number of levels. And I was happy for them that they could afford to run away to their own happy ending. Also the gag of Lom pretending to be devastated when he was anything but was kinda funny, I will give the show that. And I did like the way that Lom's mom came around - realizing with time that losing her son the same way Yiwa's mother lost her could be a very real result if she kept being rigid. I also liked that she didn't just suddenly become a PFLAG member (or whatever the equivalent would be here) but simply told her son that she would work on it, because that felt more realistic.
The show also got me with how lonely it must have been for them, to know that they were gay and that they could never say anything, and how overwhelming it must have been to find someone who understood in each other. No wonder they'd do anything for each other. I would have too, if I'd had someone like that growing up.
So yeah. It was fine. I mostly had a good time, even if I got a little bored once or twice. Frankly when it comes to MAME, being a little bored is preferable to feeling like the top of my head is about to come off because I'm so annoyed. it could have been a lot worse.

a romcom at its core with an interesting set-up and wrapped up story
to really start off, i feel the need to say that i feel like this series isn't so serious about itself; it's a lighthearted, fun and chaotic romcom at its core, with a tinge of sadness and for some, reality.i went in blind with not much expectations and i really ended up enjoying it and looking forward to it every week. for a series of its length, i think they did well in pacing and developing the characters and its story plots. by the end of ep 7, they managed to tie everything (or well most of it) in for me, especially regarding the questions and doubts i had. i wavered a bit between ep 1-4 but ep 5-7 really set it all in and boosted my enjoyment. (yes i am biased because ep 6 is my favourite)
for maximum enjoyment, i recommend either 1. don't think too much about it, 2. give it time to sink in and pick back up, 3. really dive into understanding the story and characters. I think other than the fact that i have a soft spot for romcoms, i really liked how i could, in some way, understand and relate to the characters especially on the issue of familial pressure and how it conflicts with the love you have with your family. they also had some really good emotional scenes and conversations (coughs in ep 6)
from a story standpoint, i felt like they did good in creating character motives. these characters are anything but perfect, they mess up, they don't make the smartest choices but we can see their intentions and reasons (for the most part) there is a sense of realism in the portrayal of the characters and progression of story, even if its short so it may seem rushed sometimes. it's not perfect, but really most shows aren't and for me they don't need to be because my feelings for it was still very positive and it still brought me joy.
the actors did really good, they're not experts or like perfect but they did an amazing job especially sunnypak in their first series together. sunnypak had really good chemistry and tension too. i liked yiwa and marine, they had chemistry, but their intimate/ kissing scenes still need some work. the production quality was definitely on their higher side with a good concept and aesthetically pleasing scenes. I really liked the ost esp the main one by sunnypak "you couple me"/"you paired with me" that they used for both the op and the ed; i think it suited the theme and i found the lyrics "the bride is paired with the groom, and you, no matter what, will be paired with me" quite cute.
like with any show, it may not be your cup of tea and that's fine, it's just that it was mine and i do think its worth the shot :D at the end of the day, how much you feel and take from a show depends on you and how you understand or relate to it so have fun and take what u can from it!
P.S. watch ep 6 :)

Cute drama and give different vibe other than college love story
First thing I’m disappointed with the users reviews why the hell they are giving less ratings than 6? I came across most of the series which are rubbish they only give bed scenes and story and few of them same stories college series but this drama is actually good in kind of stories, lead actors , scripts I really enjoyed it all 7 episodes lead actors were cute and great at acting I hope I can see them again in new series and story also was really good a new theme of love story and there was gl couple also although I’m not fan of gl stories but may be one day I would fall for it too like I did for bl series step by step everybody can fall for gl just my opinion and so far this story was amazing from beginning comedy wise , cute and sweet moments, and the Lom pursuing nuea was really heart touching moments, when u want another person but can’t be with him those kind of emotions were filled in this story but somewhere I felt when he went to village for nuea they should have given more scripts to another couple but unfortunately they didn’t may be because of 7 episodes but anyway I’m happy with this series guys don’t see other reviews you will not regrets it although it doesn’t have much spicy story like fight between leads, jealous moments, or triangle love story but this is cute story if u have been watched only college stories then this could be your new bait just watch it and enjoy I would wait for Wednesday every week finally it’s done happy hope to see them againWas this review helpful to you?

Mame Haters Don’t Watch This
If I had a dollar for every Mame hater who comes to her seres only to be a bunch a of whiny crybabies, I can live very comfortably for a year without working. You don’t deserve to enjoy any of her series much less comment on it.This was a good gay drama that brought the whole LITA gang back. It was a joy to see Sky get married to Phapai. And to see Rain grew up to be worthy of Payu proposing marriage after they became business partners.
For the main couple of Lon and Nueau, I like the story. It’s kind of like a remake of a straight movie with JLo or something.
I didn’t care for Yiwa and Marine. They were annoying and I know many people want to get GLs made. But I’m not a fan of making a cluster of every single letter of the LGBTQIA+ communities into a monolith. Each letter is its own community. This isn’t why I signed up for BL for. It’s why we don’t see that many straight couples in BL. I don’t like this swerving and merging of lanes in my BLs.

Fraquinho
A Mame só tinha um plot super simples e mesmo assim criativo pra seguir e não conseguiu sem se perder inteira pelo caminho. Todo o tempo perdido com o Lom mantendo o segredo do motivo do casamento não teve sustento e muito menos lógica, todo o sofrimento do Nuea com o fato de ter se relacionado com um cara noivo, a cena enorme dele chorando com a mãe, foi pro brejo em segundos de uma explicação muito besta que poderia ter vindo bem antes. O casal lésbico não teve nenhum aproveitamento além de dar ações aos personagens principais e pelo amor de deus Marine ABRA A BOCA PRA BEIJAR EU TE IMPLORO. O último ep cheio de enrolção que por mais química que os protagonistas sirvam não foi o suficiente pra me manter entretida. Resumindo fraco. Bem fraco e eu nem falei da cena de sexo com o Lom caído de bêbado mas de repente sóbrio como se nunca tivesse bebido uma única gota de álcool e o adendo totalmente desnecessário deles se conhecerem quando criança.Was this review helpful to you?
Veo veo...
hmm... no se por donde comenzar... quizás on la serie en si o con mis expectativas, la verdad no se...Bueno iniciare con la química de los protagonistas, me gusta mucho la interacción entre ambos, amaba verlos actuar juntos y la química que tiene los actores es muy buena, acaba de terminar la serie y estoy a la espera de mas de ellos.
Sobre la pareja terciaria... que es exprimo del prota y su novio. eso fue de lujo, pense que habría mas interacción con ellos, literalmente salen en dos ep y no salen mucho, no sabemos mucho de ellos, Uno pensaría que al estar en el poster tendrían mas interaccionara y la verdad es que no... fue una pareja de relleno, no aporto nada la verdad...
La parejitas secundaria es muy linda, tienen bonitas escenas y momentos, pero no me convenció mucho... no se que no termino de cuadradme pero no me convence.
En general es muy linda serie, para pasar el rato y disfrutaba, no es la mejor historia de MAME, pero esta bonita, en algunos momentos se tornaba un poco insípida y aburrida, pero en general es muy bonita y disfrutable. tiene buenas escenas que sin duda pueden quedar grabadas en la mente del espectador.
LAamusica como siempre muy buena, me gusto mucho la banda sonora, y las actuaciones estuvieron bien, al menos los principales...
Deseo mas serie del ship principal... y quien quita una de la parejitas de relleno para ver que tal...

O casal principal é muito fofo eles são muito bonitinhos, o casal secundário achei elas lindas demaaais e muuuito fofas, a única coisa que me incomodou foi a Marine que fazia 0 esforço para beijar, infelizmente nada de novo por aqui.
Por fim não tenho uma opinião muito elaborada, mas posso dizer que é um gostei bem básico msm.

Sono partiti da una bugia e sono finiti in bugia.
Sin da quando uscì il trailer potevo percepire che sarebbe stata una storia difficile da gestire, poi personalmente la trama in sé sa di “storia problematica” per questo ero indecisa se guardarla o meno e quindi mi dava delle vibes di alto tradimento ahahah.Devo essere sincera, sin dall’inizio ho chiamato Lom “coglione” perchè sì, è un coglione e uno di quelli pesanti.
Sono dell’opinione che lui in primis avrebbe dovuto dire la verità e quindi essere sincero sin dall’inizio perché questo ha influito parecchio sul modo in cui vedevo il tutto. Durante la serie è stato difficile guardare loro tutti carini sapendo che uno dei due doveva sposarsi e anche dopo aver saputo la verità ho comunque percepito questa cosa in quanto si okay è successo quel che è successo ma comunque fai fare a Nuea la parte dell’amante e questo non è assolutamente bello, non lo merita per nulla.
Lom è un coglione per questo e altro perchè sinceramente se sai com’è la tua situazione ma ami molto Nuea, due sono le opzioni:
1. non ci provi con lui così da non fare del male nè a te che a lui o comunque se in questa maniera ti fai del male te lo meriti perchè impari a fare ciò che vuoi della tua vita. Per quanto ami i tuoi genitori è anche vero che ti hanno costretto a fare tutto senza decidere per tutta la vita, dico io non ti scocci? Non ti viene voglia di ribellarti o almeno confrontarli facendogli capire che la vita è tua?...Penso che il matrimonio sia un passo importante e anche se fatto solo per far tacere le famiglia implica doveri legali tra i due coniugi. È importante e per questo Lom avrebbe dovuto combattere affinché potesse sposarsi con chi vuole.
2. fai il sincero sin dall’inizio.
Se proprio Lom non riusciva a lasciare andare il suo amore per Nuea, come minimo avrebbe dovuto essere sincero sin dall’inizio dicendo “senti, mi piaci e pure tanto. So che è chiedere tanto ma ti spiego, in realtà questo matrimonio…..” perché seriamente non ci ha messo nulla a dirgli che gli piaceva Nuea quindi cazzo ci voleva a spiegare anche la situazione.
Facendo così ha fatto solo soffrire molto Nuea e mi è stra dispiaciuto per lui soprattutto quando le cose sono peggiorate andando a letto assieme perchè ovviamente Nuea pensava di star contribuendo ad un tradimento e ciò non è qualcosa che voleva fare. A sto punto mi chiedevo seriamente quanto Lom amasse Nuea perchè se ami una persona in primis non la vuoi vedere soffrire per mano tua e secondariamente non lo rendi un fottuto amante.
Nuea è veramente una bellissima persona, non merita assolutamente questo titolo ed è imbarazzante che lo abbia a causa di una persona che lo ama. Assurdo. (è vero che nessuno ha mai chiamato Nuea “amante” ma in una situazione del genere è ovvio di principio che lo sia diventato).
Quindi nulla Lom amore mio, ti amo tanto, tu ami tanto Nuea (da non dimenticare la frase “sei perfetto così come sei”) ma cazzo quanto sei coglione.
Mi ha fatto piacere che poi abbia deciso di riprendersi Nuea e in quel periodo ho trovato un mood di vita Sun e ho amato lui e il cugino di Nuea, ho anche amato come la famiglia si prenda cura dei suoi membri e come la madre di Nuea abbia dato la possibilità a Lom di spiegarsi.
Alla fine li ho amatissimi ma purtroppo mi aspettavo un finale del tutto diverso.
Vedendo il trailer dell'ultimo episodio ho avuto altissime aspettative perchè ho amato un botto Yiwa e ho pensato al dramma che ci sarebbe stato, una figata. Ma alla fine non è stato granchè. Il coraggio di Yiwa è stato assurdo, l’ho amata tantissimo anche se è scappata del tutto, in effetti mi aspettavo che scappasse solo quel giorno creando caos e che poi si presentasse a casa sia lei con Rine che Lom con Nuea a dire la verità e combattere per il loro amore. In questa maniera penso sarebbe stato molto meglio. Non ho odiato del tutto Lom che si impegnava a fingere la parte dell’uomo affetto da un crepacuore, è stato divertente, ma comunque speravo nella verità. Sono partiti da una bugia e sono finiti in bugia. Purtroppo dobbiamo accettare questa fine.
Riguardo poi Yiwa e Rine, molte persone si sono lamentate di come non sembrassero nemmeno una coppia e di come sembrasse tutto forzato, beh penso abbiano ragione ma alla fine non vengono neanche tanto mostrate quindi non mi frega più di tanto.
In generale, la trama in sé è problematica e voglio pure capire Lom e Yiwa ma cazzo un minimo di onestà all’ultimo la potevano mostrare, non solo aprirsi ai loro amati.
In ogni caso ho amato la comicità, i colleghi di Nuea e tutto l’amore e la carineria tra Nuea e Lom. Penso che Wedding Plan debba avere almeno una possibilità di essere visto.
+apprezziamo l'estrema bellezza di entrambi gli attori principali, cazzo quanto so belli.
+EPISODIO SPECIALE:
Penso che l’episodio speciale sia stato veramente carino, in effetti ci mancava il loro matrimonio.
Devo dire la verità dicendo che in primis ho odiato come Sailom abbia preparato l’intero matrimonio senza farlo sapere a Nuea e come abbiano costretto Nuea a sposarsi in fretta e furia, non credo ci fosse tutta sta fretta di sposarsi velocemente. Vabbè che a Nuea non ha disturbato la situazione ma bho io mi sarei incazzata così tanto da annullare tutto, seria. In sto caso l’unica cosa bella è la proposta perchè se poi mi costringessero a sposarmi il giorno dopo aver detto sì con una location e tutto non scelto da me, mamma mia farei un casino assurdo arrivando anche a ritirare il mio sì. Sono fatta in questa maniera, penso che queste tipo di scelte debbano essere prese insieme, dopo la proposta c’è tutto il tempo che vuoi per prepararti insieme alla tua metà, non vedo come mi debba muovere perché lo dici te, sarei veramente uscita pazza.
Per quanto riguarda il matrimonio è stato carino ma bho mi aspettavo tutto più diverso, meno tradizionale e più moderno, cioè giacca e cravatta in un bel ristorante di lusso con tantissimi ospiti, ma capisco pienamente il perché di questa cerimonia privata. Mi ha fatto piacere che la madre di Sailom sappia della loro relazione ma mi è dispiaciuto non sia stata aggiornata sulla situazione, sarebbe stato bello se avesse saputo del matrimonio e avesse usato quell’occasione per mostrare finalmente il suo supporto, però capisco anche che se lo avessero detto a lei, probabilmente avrebbe preteso chissà quale cerimonia in grande mettendoli a disagio così come ha fatto in precedenza.
Vabbè oltre tutto ciò io scioccata ampiamente per il bacio tra Sun e Ryu e la loro dolcezza infinita, li amo veramente tanto, sarebbe bellissimo vederli come protagonisti in una serie o uno spin-off, qualcosa del genere. Mi piacerebbe vedere anche la loro storia completa, tutto.

UMA BOA SÉRIE
Comecei essa série e fui positivamente surpreendida ao descobrir que a diretora é a mesma envolvida em alguns dos meus romances favoritos (TharnType e Love in The Air).O plano de casamento que Sailon e Yiwa fizeram não me incomoda e parece coerente mas o Sailon deveria ter contato para o Namnuea que era apenas um acordo desde o inicio, assim evitando muito do que viria a seguir.
O flerte é bom, a química é boa e as cenas intimas são incríveis (MAME é uma expert e eu a amo), mas sempre existe a tensão no fundo por conta do casamento e isso só se dissipa chegando no final.
No geral é uma boa série com bons momentos, uma ressalva seria por conta da excessiva intromissão de terceiros no relacionamento e a verdade que veio a tona muito tarde mas fora isso é uma série incrível.

Inesperado
Eu não dava nada pra essa série, por ela ser da Mame e low budget, mas acabou me surpreendendo demais. O casal principal é muito fofo, e o desenvolvimento deles foi bem gostosinho de ver. O casal secundário fez TUDO por mim. Elas são muito lindas e gracinha. Os dois relacionamentos são muito saudáveis com muita compreensão mútua e cumplicidade. Eu absolutamente AMEI a união do gays e das lésbicas contra a homofobia.Tem um tom meio novela mexicana, o que me fez pensar como seria lindo se a gente tivesse novelas lgbt desse jeito, esses produtores estão perdendo muito conteúdo que só lgbt pode oferecer.
Os pontos que eu tirei foi porque o Sailom enrolou demais pra falar pro Nuea o que estava acontecendo pro menino não ficar se sentindo tão mal e não se sentisse culpado. Ele complicou as coisas de graça, e não tem nem explicação pra isso. Acabei passando raiva :P
Achei interessante o contraste disso com as lésbicas, que falam tudo uma pra outra toda hora, e decidiam tudo juntas, conversando sempre.
