Top Form

i started this series because of smart. i first saw him in don’t say no and instantly loved him, he became one of my hyperfixations for a while. i used to watch his tiktoks and kept hoping he’d be in another bl someday. i lost track of him for a bit, but then one day, the trailer for top form popped up on my youtube and i was so surprised and excited to see him again. i saw boom too and thought he looked really good, so i was immediately curious about their chemistry, and wow, they did not disappoint.

i don’t even have a favorite character because jin and akin were both amazing in their own ways. their chemistry was insane, you could feel how much they loved and cared for each other. the acting was also so good. boom honestly shocked me with how talented he is. i didn’t know him before this, but now i won’t forget him.

the story was interesting, especially the parts that showed what happens behind the scenes in the industry. they also included the topic of saesangs, which was important, though i’m still unsure about how they handled it. it wasn’t bad, just felt like it could’ve gone deeper. the ending also felt a little rushed to me, but it still worked overall.

one thing i have to mention is the soundtrack, top tier. every single song was amazing and fit the scenes perfectly. it made the emotional moments even stronger.

in the end, i really enjoyed this show. it gave me feelings, made me care about the characters, and reminded me why i love watching bls like this. definitely recommend it!

Overall Well-Acted and Entertaining, but Doesn’t Quite Live Up to the Hype

I’m not as overwhelmingly positive as many of the other reviews here, but I still think Top Form is a good series worth watching. It deals with an important and current topic: the pressures of the entertainment industry and how little control celebrities have over their private lives. The main actors deliver strong performances, and their chemistry is one of the highlights of the series. Many emotional scenes feel real and touching.

The series is generally well-produced, with high-quality visuals and a professional feel. However, the pacing is a bit uneven. Some episodes move very slowly, with scenes that feel overly stretched out, while others are packed with drama and events that happen too fast. This inconsistency makes it hard to stay fully engaged at times.

One of the biggest weaknesses is the script. Conflicts and storylines appear, build up some tension, and then disappear without being fully explored. It’s as if there wasn’t enough time to develop each plot point properly before jumping to the next. Some side characters’ actions, especially the antagonists, also lack clear motivation, which makes their role in the story confusing.

Despite these issues, Top Form remains enjoyable, especially for fans of romantic dramas. The love scenes in the uncut version —many of which are quite long and explicit—will definitely appeal to a certain audience. If that’s what you're looking for, there’s plenty of it here. The series was heavily hyped before its release, and while it has many strong moments, I don’t think it fully meets the high expectations. Still, the ending hints at a second season, and I’d be curious to see where the story goes next.

Didn't expect to be screaming throughout this wholesome serie!!

I started to watch this serie without reading the plotline nor watching any trailer. I have to say that the poster of this serie reminded me to Jack and Joker the series, and that's the reason why I decided to give it a try.
At first I was disappointed as it had nothing to do with cards, games or jokers and also the acting seemed a bit forced, therefore I asked myself... Should I keep watching?
Let's say I did not regret the choice.
Episodes full of emotions where I couldn't stop crying and smiling, hating and loving and all at the same time.
Something I didn't like tho is that it felt a bit rushed at the end, and I felt as if the last two episodes were made just to fill something and make it "nice"... not gonna lie but it was a bit hard to understand the reason behind it as it was all going perfectly smooth, but anyways... all i want to say is that despite this, I would rewatch it once and again as these two actors are just amazing. I expect to see them growing in this industry as anyone can see how much they love what they do with all the emotions and feelings they put into this serie.
I can't wait for the second season!!!
I want more from JinxAkin!!!

never really watch anime but this one is so good!!

honestly i've know quite a bit about this series and smartboom but never give it a try, not after all of the contract issues (june 15th, it took me two months btw). i watched the entire series in one go without knowing the plot (or not remember some spoilers i got) and didn't watch the trailer beforehand. the first ep and first half of the second ep got me questioning a lot of things tbh but after that i started to know what's the plot and what's going on. but again everything makes more sense after finishing the whole series and watch the trailer lmao

there're quite some scenes that i skipped, probably because it was going too slow or i just didn't remember the faces so i just skipped them. nc scenes are totally good, acting chemistry ost everything insane. i totally recommend this series if you are interested about entertainment industry.

spoiler alert but i do really wish for the next seasons to happen. there're some things that need to be delivered. some plots are still missing to be called a whole/completed story. but yeah i think that's all for now

Top Form — When a BL Reaches Its Peak

Sometimes a BL comes out and you enjoy it. Sometimes one comes out and you binge it in a few days. And then once in a while, a series appears that reminds you why you love this genre in the first place. Top Form is exactly that kind of drama.

From the beginning, the story feels fresh even if the premise is simple. The setting inside the acting industry gives the drama a different kind of tension. Fame, rivalry, pressure from producers, expectations from fans… all of that surrounds the relationship between Akin and Jin. At first it looks like a classic competition story: the veteran actor who has been “the sexiest man of the year” for years suddenly challenged by a younger rising star. But what makes the story interesting is how that rivalry slowly transforms into admiration, attraction, and eventually something much deeper.

Boom Raveewit as Akin completely owns the screen. He plays the confident, experienced actor perfectly, but what makes his performance special is the vulnerability hidden behind that image. You can feel the pressure of fame on his shoulders. On the other side, Smart Chisanupong brings an almost innocent energy to Jin. His character starts as someone a bit lost in the industry, trying to find his place, and watching him grow emotionally through the series is one of the most satisfying parts of the story. And then there is their chemistry. Honestly, this is where Top Form becomes unforgettable. Some BL couples look good together, some feel natural, but Boom and Smart create something that feels electric on screen. Their interactions feel playful, tense, romantic, sometimes even a little dangerous. There are scenes where you barely have dialogue, just eye contact or a small gesture, and yet the emotions are completely clear.

Another thing that impressed me is how cinematic the series feels. The lighting, the framing of the scenes, even the way the actors move in certain moments makes the whole drama feel bigger than a typical BL production. It almost feels like watching a film about actors rather than just a romance story. The music also deserves praise because it actually supports the emotions of the scenes instead of overpowering them. What I loved the most is that the romance never feels forced. It develops naturally from admiration to attraction and then to love. It doesn’t try to shock the audience with unnecessary drama or exaggerated conflicts. Instead, it focuses on two characters learning to understand each other while navigating the complicated world of fame and expectations.

Final Thought

Top Form is the kind of series that shows how strong a BL can be when everything is done right: writing, acting, chemistry, and production. It feels mature, emotional, and visually polished, and the connection between the leads carries the entire story. For me, it’s one of those dramas that reminds you that BL can be more than a genre — it can simply be great storytelling. A perfect score feels completely deserved.

A Refreshing Drama That Leaves You Wanting More

Please note that the following contains a minor spoiler

"Top Form" is a highly engaging series that truly stands out for its refreshing approach to storytelling. Unlike many dramas that rely on prolonged misunderstandings or unnecessary conflict to drive the plot, this series avoids that common pitfall, keeping things tight and focused. (Although, to be fair, I do appreciate a bit of misunderstandings when it's executed well!) That being said, the show’s one flaw is that it feels too short. This is one of those rare instances where I actually wished for longer episodes (over an hour or more) because it would have allowed the story to breathe and given more space to explore the characters and their arcs, especially the supporting cast like Jade, Johnny, and Naru. As it stands, there are a few unanswered questions, leaving me wanting more. Additionally, I’m left eagerly needing an update on Akin's decision and what the outcome would be for his future if he chooses to accept the offer he was given.
I genuinely hope we get a season 2 or, at the very least, a special 5-episode mini-series to tie up some loose ends and give the characters the resolution they deserve.

"Smart and Boom’s acting is beyond perfect—they brought Jin and Akin to life in such a natural and powerful way. Every look, every smile, every emotional scene felt so real that it touched my heart deeply. Their chemistry is truly unmatched, and I found myself completely drawn into their world. Not only them, but every single actor and actress in this drama gave their best, and together they created something truly brilliant. The story stayed faithful to the adaptation while also giving us such heartfelt emotions. I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how much I loved every second of it.

I really hope to see Smart and Boom acting together again in another well-written project because they shine the brightest when they’re together on screen. Their performances have left a huge impact on me, and as an international fan, I want them to know that their talent and hard work are deeply appreciated all around the world. I already miss them so much, and I’ll continue to support and love them always. Thank you for giving us this masterpiece—love you both forever!"
🥹💗😍😚💜🙏
