Wandee Goodday (2024)

Finally! Another awesome BL!

When GMMTV announced their part 1 announcement for the year 2024, not gonna lie, only two series caught my attention. One was 'My Golden Blood' and the next one was 'Wandee Goodday.' They both seemed interesting, and I was excited to see these actors (Fluke from 'My Golden Blood' and Inn from 'Wandee Goodday') in a new series.

I adore this series so much, as it had basically everything that i want from a BL. Good acting, good storyline, great OST, no dreaded eleventh episode, being able to solve an issue between them quickly were some of the things that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was also very informative in things in life that a lot of BL's don't really talk about. And yes, it started off steamy (with them being friends with benefits/ being in a fake boyfriend relationship) and ended up so sweet (with them actually being boyfriends) that you felt like you will go into a diabetic shock. But that's just how I like it!

I enjoyed waiting to watch this series over the twelve weeks that I know I am going to miss waiting to see any new episodes. Inn and Great did a terrific job and I do hope that they get the opportunity to star in more BL's together. That being said, I'm giving this series a 9.5- only because there were some side characters I couldn't stand and still can't stand, although they kind of got their little redemption at the end of this series. I would most definitely recommend this series to others.

YAKDEE ARE LOVE

After a long time I found myself mesmerized by a couple in a bl series. I am so glad I watched this show i have completely obsessively and wholeheartedly fallen for great and inn as actors and for YAKDEE both as a couple and individuals in this series. They are perfect for each other ❤️ watching this show made me realise why I watch bl series it is all those cute moments, hot moments and funny moments but most importantly it is the feeling of happiness you get from watching two people falling in love and see their love blossom without any judgment or boundaries or rules that dictate our real lives.

wonderful!!

i originally only started watching this one because i was bored and needed to waste time. i didn't think anything would come of it but i was hoping to be entertained.
i proceeded to become deeply obsessed with the show for the next 2 months.
love triangles, or squares or whatever, have never been something i've been drawn to in TV, so imagine my surprise when i couldn't stop thinking about this one.
many bare minimum things to be praised here, so i'll get that out of the way - i like that taem wasn't villainized like many women in BL. she was wonderful and loveable and i adore her.
discussions of safe sex, including STD vaccines. discussions of mental health issues and trauma in a normal way, that doesn't blame the affected character or makes them seem like a bad person. i like kao - i LOVE kao. being an ace lesbian myself, it's always difficult to see yourself represented in media. often times, queer relationships are inherently made sexual. and if you're asexual, you can't be interested in a relationship, right?
i loved that they showed kao's struggled with being a gay, asexual man - it made me feel seen. he's someone who has an intimate understanding of sex, but it doesn't interest him. many times, asexuality is attributed to inexperience or a lack of knowledge. kao doesn't have that, and he's still ace. i wish there was more screentime for him! i was really hoping for it. either way, i'm so happy he ended up finding someone who was right for him <3 love blue as well!!
the relationships characters had between each other was beautiful. kao and dee's friendship, dee and his grandma, yak and yei, all different kinds of platonic love that was so comforting to watch.
i actually quite liked when they focused on those relationships for a bit, i saw many people criticize the later episodes for being boring, but i thought it was a really nice way of exploring the characters and their bonds deeper.
now, of course, i do have to give some words for the main pairing as well. dee and yak are both very lovable characters to me. they both have some struggles, and they don't act perfect sometimes. but they communicate pretty well most of the time and their relationship is one i genuinely found myself very invested in and actively rooting for.
(also, the tropes were so good... that brief enemies to friends... the fake dating going into friends to lovers... UGHHH fake dating is the best trope ever. you're telling me they're pretending to be in love, but then someone actually develops feelings??)
they are very supportive of each other. great and inn are wonderful actors and portray them so well. if there's one thing i would criticize, it's that some (!!) of their kissing scenes felt a bit stiff lol
i think there's room for improvement there. otherwise, i just really loved the show.
honorable mention for oyei and cher, i personally didn't feel much for their relationship, but the episode of them getting engaged did get me teary-eyed. i <3 queer joy!

-some criticism: relationship starts off with them having intercourse while one character is under the influence. he seems to be (surprisingly) present and he remembers everything afterwards, but it still makes me feel a bit weird, because minutes earlier, he literally passed out. i don't drink, so i don't know what it's like to be drunk, but i don't think that's how it works?? lmao
sometimes you need to close your eyes at inconsistenties like this ?
-ep 3, yak mentioned worrying about his public image for dating a man, and this worry is truly NEVER brought up again. not sure why it was said if they were just gonna abandon it like he didn't say it ?
-i don't really understand why they made ter and taem end up together. it was pointless. and to be honest, i think she deserves someone better.

there's more things but honestly my memory is not very good, so i'll leave it at this. anyways, i really liked this. it's my favorite BL released this year, and probably ranks high in my all time favs. i love rom-coms. we need more rom-coms of adults. they are truly WONDERFUL! and i hope we will see more of greatinn :)

i'm gonna miss this show so much! next week, i will sacrifice my soul to dee / yak. stay tuned for that

Big Bunny, Teeny Tiger & oodles of cute and fluffy goodness....

This is how you make a perfect romcom! Respect your audience, make characters adults, behaving like reasonable adults and not losing every braincell when in love and try to turn some tropes upside down. Add some excellent acting and extraordinary chemistry, mix it all,and serve! If we do not expect anything else but a fairy tale, we are going to be over the moon!

The plot is fairly simple: a doctor and a boxer meet. They hit it off immediately but do not realize how much in love they really are as fast as they should!

What I liked:
- reverse romance: they start as FWB living together in domestic bliss, then start dating and then ask each other out! I liked the slow pace too: they both had issues to deal with and it was given the time necessary!
- chemistry is off the charts!
- acting is excellent
- second couple is cute
- consent etc. very consensual (wedding in the final episode!)
- Sarin's dimples (I want more of this actor: he is phenomenally talented!)
- skinship beautifully filmed
- costume designer: some disguise costumes were just perfect (like the clowns! Sooooo cute!)
- Grandma with a guitar, for a change, and not them!

What I disliked:
- title and poster: looks cheap and sounds incomprehensible
- bad doctor's speedy redemption (why does everyone need to be paired off at the end?)
- ending: they just got together but are already going their separate ways because of their careers? Long distance relationship for a few YEARS?!?!? I want to see how that works!
- cringy last episode: the award ceremony and the wedding....
- a gala reception and a conference held in, what looked like a closet with a matching attendance (maximum 10 people! very empty looking!)
- I know that choreographed dancing worked well in MSP, but do you need to put it now in every bl?
- costume designer: some wardrobe choices were simply bad: gala suits and Cher's wedding... shorts?!?! What is he? 12?

This bl was far from perfect but I loved how it entertained me, how it gave me butterflies and how it kept a silly smile on my face non stop while watching it. It is arguably one of the best bl out there, carried by the greenest flag kind of characters. A perfect summer watch! I want more!

I didn't expect this

I had a pleasant surprise.
I had read the description and it didn't attract me at first, but after the first episode I realized that it was worth giving it a chance.
From my point of view, the chemistry is astral, the interaction is incredible, and the way Yak was looking... I was melting. His eyes are absolutely adorable. My heart moves every time I look at the way he looks at Wandee.
Their relationship is a complete mix... love, friendship, madness, fun, seriousness, attraction.
I became attached to the characters, each one separately. Every attribution was welcome and well received. Each character added value to the story. I had a lot of fun, I cried a lot and I laughed at every interaction of the two protagonists.
IDK, probably the character, probably the eyes, probably the way Yak looked made me fall in love with this series. or was it the relationship between the two that reached my heart and made me so attached to the series, I really couldn't say exactly.
I think it's worth a chance, it's worth your time, but it depends on you.

Hot boxer and sexy doctor? OH YES!

I love how positive the vibe of this show is- been a while I watch BL like this!

While I absolutely love NCs, I appreciate how this show is able to carry its weight without having to sell NC only.

This is one of the rare FWB show that is actually non-toxic but healthy! I love how Yoryak and Wandee supports each other dreams, how they care and understand one another and just so many of the lovey doves moments. I melt!

Highlight for me is actually Cher!!! I'm a big fan of OyeCher- I want them with their own series! I love how their love story really feels DEEP and REAL= like it's very realistic instead of only fluffy. I really love the proposal scene. It is the simplest yet sweetest one I've watched. It totally touches my heart and makes me cry. I mean, there isn't anything near fancy yet its beautiful and sincere.

I also love how this carries positive message such as HPV vaccination, normalising mental health care and the implicit meaning of "My Good Day, MY Choice"! They even educate on asexual a little, really well done at GMMTV is constantly expanding its inclusivity!

Very well done on ending where there's no loose end and everyone has their happy ending, including Dr. Ter and Thaem! Yay!

This is a funny, meaningful story, inspiring message, and great acting too- especially Great who plays Yoryak!

What's not to love... ?

You got a good story going on, that's always a plus in my book. Let's not forget the hotness you get from just looking at them then put in great chemistry and you got it going on. There is also great music throughout the series, get to laugh why you watch, who doesn't love to laugh? Oh you also get some serious moments that some people go through in life, but it's not played out like in some series/movies.

As a plus the other couple (his brothers relationship) are a good fit. They were so cute together. Even when they were fighting, though that could be because Cher was just to cute. They were kind of funny in there fights. ?

Gotta love the witty retorts you get to hear from all of them at times as well, one of the reasons you get to laugh in this series.

All in all if you want to watch something fun yet serious at times, that will give you a good laugh throughout the series, with great chemistry and hotness this would be a great one to watch. I would re-watch this one again and again. and I don't say that often. ?
