Why is this show so well rated??
GMM strikes again with a show that is dragged out with absolutely nothing happening except couples awkwardly getting together and made up drama popping up without explanation. My sister told me this GMM issue might be due to them airing the show before it's finished and scrambling to wrap it up, but if that's the case, why not just wait to finish the show cleanly rather than fumbling the whole thing? This would explain why I can normally watch around 2 episodes of a show, before quickly losing interest.I started watching this for ForceBook and can only say that their chemistry is one of the few things that seems authentic in this, despite the fact that they are infinitely hotter as a couple in Only Friends. AouBoom were also great in this, actually believable as a couple, but barely had any screen time (I'll be watching the Only Friends part 2 to see them).
Otherwise, there is literally nothing happening in this show. PerthSanta were so cringe throughout their entire story line, and are one of the main reasons I dropped this show. I can assume Perth is a decent actor and Santa was pretty good in My Only 12%, so this must've been an issue with the hollow dialogue and lack of chemistry between the two actors. Even watching this at 1.5x speed, it's still not fast enough to move the story along. Please, someone help us get through all of this dialogue! They talk so much in this show without actually saying anything of substance that it doesn't even matter if you miss half of what they say. And if I have to watch another show with engineers, architects, whatever, it's gotta have something going for it other than yay they're in school and half the cast has a crush and the other half!

PerthSanta is the match made in heaven ?
ARC 1 (Ep 1-8) | ForceBook: Unfortunately this arc didn't convince me. Book's acting falls flat, and their chemistry lacks spark. The one highlight is their well-executed intimate scene—the first across all their series. The storyline itself is basic, clearly banking on their fame rather than substance. Characters lack depth and backstory. As for MarcPoon as the secondary couple, I simply can't connect with them—zero chemistry and neither strikes me as compelling. 7/10ARC 2 (Ep 9-16) | PerthSanta: How do I even explain how much I adored this arc? PerthSanta's chemistry is electric, and both are absolutely adorable. The storyline touches on family and heartbreak through Yotha's character with genuine emotion. Both actors mastered their respective roles, completely winning me over. AouBoom as the secondary couple once again prove their excellence—GMMTV desperately needs to give them lead roles as they truly deserve it! 8/10
ARC 3 (Ep 17-24) | JuniorMarc: Still airing, this final arc continues the following year. I'm struggling with this pairing which feels mismatched. Junior consistently delivers strong performances with surprising character depth, while Marc fails to properly convey his character's intentions, leaving viewers confused. Thankfully, PerthSanta maintain significant screen time, giving me reason to continue watching. The story appears to be developing more depth than initially apparent. Tentatively 7/10

FUNNY CUTE AND PERFECT ACTORS
My lobe for this show cant be described in words LITERALLY one of the best bls,yall might think im exaggerating but its INCREDIBLY GOOD.At the start i thought it would be strange to see perth with a new partner but i was SO wrong.To be honest the chemistry between every single couple was perfect.The plot is perfect.It is so funny and entertaining to watch. the acting is CRAZY.I thought it would be difficult to see every couple since it was so many couplesAGIAN i was wrong the balance these series had made me surprised.Favorite and comfort series fr.Was this review helpful to you?
I don’t get it
I just had to chime in because although I understand people not liking the baby-ish acting of Santa and Book, I don’t see why everyone predictably rated the last six episodes so high. I was bored out of my mind, and honestly Junior and Mark are probably the least attractive BL couple I’ve ever seen. Perth was incredible and practically carried the entire thing. Junior is def the second best actor but there’s just something I don’t like about him. Honestly it should’ve ended at 16 episodes or just been cut down to three episodes per couple or something. I have a Thai BL master list and it was pretty far up there until the last third of it. Maybe I was just fatigued by that point, who knows.Yes it is way too long and as paint-by-numbers , polished, and predictable as GMMTV gets, but I still think it’s worth it. If you are a fan of any of the actors or in a BL draught, give it a go.

Wow MarkJunior stole the show!
This is not my favourite college BL but with 24 episodes, it will scratch any BL itch.The series is anchored by ForceBook, but also dedicates a significant chunk of time to two other main couples: PerthSanta and MarkJunior. The love story of these three couples are spread across the 24 episodes in three distinct 'eras' that overlap a little with each other.
ForceBook is not my favourite couple and they’ve had a few hits and misses (my favourite so far is actually in Peaceful Property where they were a side couple), but I think Perfect 10 Liners is probably one of their better ones.
As for PerthSanta, the chemistry of this pair works surprisingly well – it’s the first time we’re seeing them on-screen, but this couple definitely has loads of potential. Personally, I didn’t really like Perth’s character, Yotha. I thought he was a little problematic and had red flag behaviours. Putting all these aside, I think Perth and Santa have really good chemistry. I think they could really shine if given a good storyline.
But I am 100000% sold on MarkJunior rn. I thought Wine and Faifah were excellently-constructed characters with a romantic development that made a whole lot of sense – their story was *IT* for me. I was rooting for this couple the entire way, they were so cute asfjkl;aspek.

I've rewatched this series 17 times!
I absolutely loved this series! I’m usually not a fan of shows with multiple couples because, in my opinion, it often means that none of the relationships are explored deeply enough. But *Perfect 10 Liners* really surprised me in the best way.Not only did it manage to keep me emotionally invested, but it also became a great way for me to discover new BL couples. I especially enjoyed getting to know PerthSanta and JuniorMark, they really caught my attention.
I had already followed some of ForceBook’s previous projects, so it was nice to see them again, but this series made me appreciate a wider range of pairings and performances. Overall, it turned out to be a much more engaging and satisfying experience than I expected.

Average
Overall the series was average for me, it did not give me something really special but still I liked to watch it every Sunday.The found family thing and the bond between the characters was the greatest part.
The worst thing about the series was the director I don’t thing he handled things properly some parts were just a mess and there were a lot of repetitive scenes which was frustrating for people who are watching and expecting better every episode. He actually could have done better.
The thing I liked the most about this series was the humour especially in ArcArm’s episodes they were the most fun for me since the overall storyline is not that good.
And the important thing to me I want to talk about is the change they’ve made from the book in the series,
I’m specifically talking about ArkArm’s since I have read only their book and enjoyed reading it very much.
They did not change Arm’s character which was good he was funny and cute in both the book and series but Arc’s character was changed very much he was MORE fierce in the book and kinda red flag at first but instead they changed him to be a normal character which I didn’t not like that much I found him more unique in the book.
Also all the debt thing between Arm and Arc and Arm being constantly in debt for Arc despite his name meaning ‘Anon with no dept’, they did not pay attention for that thing in the series plus him being admin in engineer cute boy page and how Arc finds out and his reaction which are the core for ArcArm’s story, the things that really weakened ArcArm’s storyline which are why I did not like the changes so the book was better for me.
But I think ForceBook did a great job in bringing these characters into life and conveying their emotions the relationship between them was nearly perfect.

I loved it
I only watched it for Perthsanta as I wasn't a fave of the other but it was nice I fell in love with juniormark hope they get a main series the chemistry is there I didn't watch forcebook part I may go back to watch it but after the 1 episode it wasn't given for me I couldn't continue it felt so cringe so I just waited for Perthsanta to continue but overall it was nice but the concept of having 3 couple in a series some part felt rush and the couple story didn't developed well felt rushed to me in some part I looking forward to Perthsanta in another seriesWas this review helpful to you?
found family❤️
I’ve been so busy lately that I stepped away from the BL world for almost a year. I only watched a few series here and there and wasn't nearly as active as I used to be and I honestly regret it so much! I really wish I had been part of the fandom while Perfect 10 Liners was airing, especially for the debut of PerthSanta.They are one of my favorite discoveries, and I truly don't understand all the hate they’ve been getting. I'm saying this as someone who was shocked and saddened by the end of PerthChimon but I feel like Perth and Santa just complement each other perfectly. You can tell they’ve really found their spark; the chemistry and affection are so visible! If you hate them, you hate me too!
After finally going over my bl slupm, I can say this series made me feel at home for the first time in a long while. I started watching BL in 2022, and while I don’t think any year will ever top that one, this show is one of the few that gives me a genuine sense of comfort.
I loved every single couple:
• ForceBook: As the first pairing, they were stunning. I’ve followed them for a long time now and they never disappoint.
• AouBoom: They deserve a special shout-out! They felt so real the entire time. I’m dying for their own lead series to finally come out—they truly deserve it!
• JuniorMark: They are a beautiful couple too, though I’ll admit I struggled a bit to focus on their storyline. I was so completely hooked on PerthSanta that I couldn't think of anything else! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more JuniorMark projects in the future.
Even though it’s a simple series with straightforward, everyday stories, it truly made me feel good. Sometimes simplicity is exactly what you need to heal.

Perfect For When You Need A Cute No-brainer Watch
I started this out of pure desperation because I was going through withdrawal symptoms from We Are and Your Sky. I just needed something sweet, slightly ridiculous, and with that emotional fluff to fill the void. Normally, I don’t go for dramas with 24 episodes,that’s a commitment, but the way this one split things up into 8-episode arcs per couple worked in their favor. I could mentally clock in and out without burnout.Not gonna lie, this show gets so childish and so cliché at times, I physically had to pause to recover from the cringe. But weirdly It worked for me. Like, I’d roll my eyes, say “not this again,” and then press play anyway because I was actually enjoying it. It’s light, dumb, dramatic, comforting, all the things I wanted and didn’t want at the same time. A true guilty pleasure, except I don’t even feel that guilty.
💙 Arm & Arc
They’re the classic cliché duo, cold senior × sunshine freshman. Enemies to lovers... kind of. They start off bickering and annoying each other, and next thing you know they’re glued together and being disgustingly clingy.
Honestly, I liked their dating era way more than their chaotic beginnings.
Arc becomes Arm’s peer mentor and pursues Arm while maintaining his cold act. Like, yes he crosses some boundaries, and yes I side-eyed him more than once, but I did appreciate how Arm pushed back and didn’t just melt instantly.
But still it was a sweet story that us entertaining.
Also, the Arm-Po-Sand trio? ICONIC. Dumb, dumber, and dumbest, and I love all three with my entire heart. Their chaotic energy is unmatched. You can separate couples, plotlines, entire timelines,but not that friendship.
And Po?? That’s a man right there. He didn’t even do much but somehow stole every scene.
🐶 Yotha & Gun
Another “emotionally constipated boy falls for a human ray of sunshine” situation. Similar vibes to Arm & Arc but with more emotional repression and more ✨red flags✨.
Gun meets Yotha through Faifa (Gun’s friend, Yotha’s brother), and it spirals from there. Gun gets teased constantly, they literally refer to him as a puppy, and honestly, I felt bad about it until I realized he actually likes it?? Who am I to judge.
Faifa standing up to Yotha after the fight? That scene was so good. Gun being scared and hiding behind Faifa?? I ate that up.
But I really wish Gun didn’t forgive Yotha so fast after That Kiss with Wa. Like HELLO? I needed more groveling. Just a bit more pain.
Their dating era was cute though. Genuinely. Also: I see the vision, but “love cures trauma and turns you into a better person” okay, but why are we still doing that.
(P.S. Gun and Arm are literally the same person in different fonts. Loud, goofy, loyal. Put them in a room and it’s a competition of who can be more golden-retriever.)
🍷 Faifa & Wine
THESE TWO!!!!!!! These soft little creatures own my whole heart.
They’re both afraid of being unlovable in different ways, and the way they find each other??? Ugh. Faifa is your classic people-pleaser, always the funny friend, always brushing off his own feelings, always taking care of everyone but himself. And then there’s Wine, who’s got actual insecurities about being gay, which surprised me considering the rest of this show is basically “everyone’s queer until proven otherwise.”
I loved their first meeting, I loved their awkward phase, and I LOVED how they opened up to each other. Their emotional intimacy hit harder than I expected. I didn’t think I’d get a soft, cautious exploration of queerness here, but I did, and it was wholesome.
Protect them at all costs.
🤍 Side Couples
Pond & Sand – A very cute side thing. Pond being lowkey flirty while Sand remains blissfully oblivious.
Jet & Pun – Token straight couple in this aggressively gay universe. Honestly, they were adorable. It was refreshing to see a het couple that didn’t feel shoehorned in for drama.
Klao & Warit – Okay. At first, I was like: “Do we really need these two?” They were introduced as already-in-a-relationship and just… constantly fighting. Felt toxic, messy, and not in a fun way. But somehow, they grew on me. I don’t know when it happened, but by the time the proposal, I was lowkey cheering. The magic of drama pacing, I guess.
Final Thoughts:
Yes, it’s cliché. Yes, it’s often cringey. Yes, some of the plots feel like they were written by a lovesick 15-year-old.
And yet I liked it.
It gave me the sweet friend-group dynamics, the fluffy romance, the chaotic college vibes, and the emotional crumbs I needed to get through my We Are/Your Sky withdrawal.
Would I recommend it? Yes, if you’re okay with cheesiness, tropes, and occasional eye-rolls in exchange for major feel-good energy.
