Melody of Secrets (2025)

Watching this is a choice...

I decided to watch this despite the low rating, which by the way is not nearly low enough,so it's on me, I put myself through this mess and I'm suffering the consequences.

I don't want to be entierly negative so first I'm going to list the positives.

1. Hot dudes.

End of list.

Just kidding!! The cinematography is what mostly kept my interest, the locations are so stunning! like I want to climb that tree so badly and the river looks so refreshing just gorgeous. I saw that at of people were complaining about the plot being boring and It's not, not really, it's not good, but it's not boring. Maybe if you were expecting the typical GMMTV fluffy, cute, sound effects filled "comedic" series, yes, but this is supposedly a thriller, and this is where I cannot find anymore positives, oh yes, Book is actually acting like a normal grown-up man!! 👍🏻👍🏻

So, this is garbage, really, really bad stinking garbage. The plot is so confusing and not in a good way. I was intrigued at first, I really wanted to like it, but, it's like taking at least 3 sets of puzzles and trying to put them together to from a coherent image. It's not thrilling, there's a murderer on the loose but it doesn't feel menacing enough, the romance plot starts off so weird then gross, then it's It fine, these two are amazing together so no real complaints there.

The plot is so weird, it jumps from scene to scene randomly with no real sense, I thought there was a point to it, maybe part of the mystery, but nope.

The acting is just atrocious all around. There was a point where I thought it would be funny if a certain character turned out to be the killer but then it was revealed they were indeed the killer and it wasn't funny, not at all funny, in fact it was so annoying, that this person could be so stupid! just stupid and the plot kept getting even stupider beyond that point.

Most of the characters suuuck!! But grandma takes the cake. I wanted to quit but I was already 9 episodes in this mess, I might as well keep watching to see what other nonsense they're going to throw at me, there has to be a reason why there's an episode left.

I really couldn't sit through one more episode of this, I tried but it's unnecessary, I was already exhausted so I skipped through most of episode 10. there's just nothing there but filler.

In conclusion; The series starts out somewhat fine, obviously it's not going to be good but it seems watchable, it drew me in with the beautiful scenery and strong chemistry between the leads, then it threw dumb nonsense twists one after another, getting more and more stupid as it progressed, it has the dumbest villain in existence really! And by the end it left me questioning why I even started it.

Please give Melody of Secrets a chance.

The Bad: A weird plot and poor storytelling initially.
The Good: Beautiful cinematography, fantastic soundtrack, and stellar acting by ForceBook.

The first half of the first episode was terrible, and I can honestly see why so many people dropped it. However, the latter half saved the show for me, and I think those who gave up on Melody of Secrets made a huge mistake. The chemistry between Force and Book was absolutely sizzling.

The story wasn't actually that bad in hindsight; it’s just that there’s a plot twist that makes the first few episodes difficult to follow. Once everything is cleared up, it all makes sense in the end. In my opinion, the best part of this drama is the romance between Tankhun and Botpleng; ForceBook owned every single scene they shared.

While I didn’t care much for the other characters, my eyes were glued to the screen every time Book appeared. My heart ached whenever a tear fell from his eyes. Book did so well, I’m so proud of him. Force deserves just as much credit—he was the hot criminologist I never knew I needed! He usually plays stoic characters, and while Tankhun is somewhat similar, Force showed great improvement in his acting. He did so well during the emotional scenes, that I want to get a hug from him as well. And the kisses! EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. Oh my god, totally not complaining, keep it coming, ig?!?

Each scene featuring the two of them was shot beautifully. Between the visuals and the overall vibes, the production was incredible, I even found myself taking screenshots throughout the episodes.

It’s great to see a couple like ForceBook branch out. The genre shift definitely added a layer of intrigue that set it apart from the typical BL formula.

I have to give it to them for taking on such challenging roles. While Enchanté, A Boss and a Babe, and Perfect 10 Liners felt somewhat similar in tone, they really showed their potential in Only Friends and Peaceful Property. Now, with Melody of Secrets and their upcoming show Lovers and Gangsters, they are proving they can handle much darker, more complex material. It’s been an impressive evolution to watch. ForceBook’s filmograply is impressive, which can’t be said for many other CPs. I truly think people are sleeping on them, which is a shame. They choose their projects carefully, and they always deliver.

Overall, I think Melody of Secrets deserves to be given a chance. It’s unique, intriguing, and different from the usual BL stories. I didn’t expect it, but it’s now one of my all-time favorites.
