Crazy Love, Moo-Moo!

It was funny, but a bit over the top

So, I've watched two BossNoeul dramas and I really did not expect the third one to be a comedy. When I heard that Boss and Noeul were going to be in another drama I got really excited that I put it on my watch list, but when the pilot trailer came out, I was actually a bit sceptical about this drama. Then, after days and days of waiting, the first episode came out and I actually loved it! Then over those past couple of weeks, more episodes got released and although it was funny, the comedy started to get a bit over the top. But that is probably why it's a comedy! Anyways, my overall rating for this had to be 8.5 stars only because the rewatch value for this is kind of low, but Boss and Noeul did very well on this drama.

Lite spoilers & Trigger warning for SA

This is a series to watch if you want to turn your brain off. You don't want stress; you want problems solved quickly, & you want soft romance. Don't expect this series to get your blood pumping in any way.

I had no problem with our main couple other than not really understanding where the attraction came from for either of them. It didn't feel like a love that should have lasted through 5 years of rejection. Most of my problems with this series had to do with the writing, humor (which, unlike in Me & Thee, stopped being funny after a couple episodes), & the way they handled the side characters.

Instead of giving us an out-there plot with a wedding as a cover for drug trafficking that did nothing but add another couple, we could have progressed the three side couples the show had already started. Of those, Yu & Tai were the least interesting and made the least sense. Honestly, Yu's character alone had too much and nothing going on at once. He felt more like the android in Eternal Butler than a human. I don't ship them at all. Tee & Jeab could have been cute, but Jeab calling Tee a monster and treating him like a bully went a bit too far. Tee teased him, yes, and the end hints that Jeab gets that Tee likes him & that's why he teases him, so things may go more positively, but calling him a monster was way over the line. My favorite to-be side couple was Tian and Mark, probably because Tian was the most realistic character & actually had internal struggles unlike everyone else. Honestly, I would like to get a sequel with Tian and Mark as the main couple. Tian has self-worth & trust issues, and Mark feels like he could be a good one to both support him and help him to open up again.

I wish dramas would stop adding side couples if they are going to do basically nothing with them. They hit us with a "To Be Continued" at the end, so I expect us to be getting either a sequel or a special episode, but I don't hold out any hope for them doing much at all with the side couples.

Also, the "villains" in this series disappear without a trace after their part of causing a problem is over. Where did they go? Kluayhom & Khem just disappeared after each is rejected like they weren't important at all. I mean they apparently weren't, but still I hate when shows just drop characters like this almost as much as I hate when they do nothing with the side couples.

The humor was funny for the first couple of episodes, but after that it was mostly cringy, and I found myself rolling my eyes a lot. It was better than a lot of comedy drama I've watched, and it was more down to the writing than the acting.

The acting was over the top for some characters and is just plain painful to watch at the best of times. This opinion isn't limited to this series either. Otherwise, the acting was alright.

The SA isn't that intense, and it doesn't last long, but it happens nonetheless. Once between Moo & Khem & once between Tian and Mark. Nothing graphic happens & clothes are not removed, but it is non-consensual touching, so I felt it needed to be mentioned.

Crazy Funny!

This is such an adorably funny creative non-sensical series that if one did not appreciate it, then you have no funny-bone to tickle. One simply cannot take this series with any serious intent. It is satirical; a comedy through and through and I laughed consistently. Honestly, Thai BLs that are ‘comedies’ are exceptionally rare and ones that are done to near perfection are even rarer. This IS funny. It is presented completely in a tongue-in-cheek fashion and I for one utterly enjoyed every minute of it. The whole premise is unmitigatedly absurd, and it was meant to be from the beginning. Although there are certainly poignant moments speckled throughout the series, they become merely more highlighted by the silliness around them.

Going Crazy Watching The Moo-Sense

Okay I started seeing so many people gassing this show up and I’ve finished it with the thought…did we all watch the same show!? This was a hot mess, it did have me cracking up at points but that didn’t make it a good show overall. Boss and Noeul deserve much better material to work with, and this along with BNW was low tier. Their chemistry is always solid, but the scripts are nonsensical or just poorly written overall because the plot is lost amongst the insanity. There was also some issues taken with the “Chinese” looking comments and rightfully so. It comes off insensitive even to me who doesn’t belong to that ethnicity.

Finally for the side couples. The youngest brother in high school really didn’t stand out in the show. The middle brother I really liked but him and the cafe worker barely had any screen time or development. And the friend, though I love sex positivity within shows, his character too was just kind of thrown in there randomly.

Worse than I thought possible

Worse than I ever could have imagined. Boss is blatantly copying Pond's portrayal of Thee, and poorly. The scenes jump around with no clear indication of timeline. The production quality is bad which I could overlook if the story/acting was there but this is a miss in every possible aspect. I'm sad that BossNoeul have had 2 bad shows back to back because I do love them together.

This is a masterpiece

This is a well done cute comedy series. But aside the comedy so may things to learn. For instance how they involve the ghost ship culture into the series, the bullying those actors faces from toxic fans that sees them as nothing but accessories and how they prove to us they are also humans that feel pains, cry in secret and still come forward to make their fans happy. So many things to write including how your past always hunt and hurt you, so let’s all be good to one another. but more than what was expected so many unexpected but masterpiece life lessons was beautifully show case in subtle way. This is more than a comedy genre but all round real life lesson. This is a masterpiece and Bossnoeul proves they can nail any role. Kudos to both of them. Super proud.

Made my heart smile!!

Boss and Noeul have done it again. They always make it easy to immerse myself in whatever world they build for me in their series. I expected to laugh and feel good, and it exceeded my expectations. The story was simple but so enjoyable. You could not help but fall in love with Fu and Moo. I can tell BN loved playing these characters because that joy came across on screen. The natural chemistry between BN was intimate and powerful. As expected, this series did not disappoint in the sexy moments either. The rest of the cast was also fantastic and laid the groundwork for the subsequent books in this series.

This series is definitely on my rewatch list whenever I need a heartwarming, funny, sexy rom-com.

A Lot of Potential, but Too Much Cringe

Secondhand embarrassment was probably what I felt the most while watching this series. There were scenes I had to fast-forward through because the embarrassment was so intense that it actually became physically painful. I can imagine it must have been difficult even for the actors themselves to deliver some of those lines.

What motivated me the most to watch this series was the fact that the main character is completely head over heels in love. I really like characters like that, but they need to learn from *Peach and Me* how to write a character who is in love without making him so weird or over-the-top.

A lot of the scenes involving the supporting characters seemed to have been extended in an attempt to create comedic moments, but, to me, they ended up being just bad and tiring. Overall, I liked the characters and I think the series had potential, but they could have been developed much better. Most importantly, some scenes could have been much less silly.

Maybe I'm just being biased, but I also think the two leads still need to improve their acting. I didn't really like them here, and I also wasn't a big fan of their acting in *Love in the Air*.

I won't be hypocritical and say that everything was bad, because it wasn't. There were moments when I genuinely found the series funny, and there were also some really good scenes. I especially want to highlight the scene in episode 9 where the two friends talk and open up to each other. I thought it was such a cute scene, especially when they both started crying.

After all these criticisms, I also have to say that I loved seeing Cooheart playing a character with a personality different from the kind of characters he usually plays. And, finally, I have to mention the opening song, which I absolutely loved.

Chaotic in the most entertaining way

This is the kind of drama that doesn't take itself too seriously, and I think that's exactly how it should be watched. It's full of absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and over-the-top humor that won't work for everyone, but I found myself enjoying the chaos more often than not. The romance was cute and the leads had enough chemistry to keep me invested, but my favorite surprise was Boss. Seeing him step away from the type of character he usually plays was refreshing, and he absolutely nailed it. It was easily one of my favorite performances from him so far. At times I wished the story had slowed down to give the characters a little more depth, as some emotional scenes were quickly overshadowed by the comedy, but overall it stayed entertaining throughout. It may not be the most memorable drama I've seen, but it was a fun, easy watch that made me laugh more than I expected.

A Comfort Series That Gets Better With Each Episode

This is a full-on comedy series. It's silly, fun, and over-the-top. And that's exactly where the tone lives. It doesn't ever take itself seriously, yet manages to tackle some serious topics like self-love, bullying, and forgiveness in the midst of the ridiculous.
Boss's "clown" against Noeul's "straight man" is absolutely brilliant. Their commitment to letting their characters' emotions take over, regardless of how they may look, is exactly why their chemistry is so powerful. All scenes, whether chaotic or romantic, are delivered with their full commitment.
In fact, the acting is the most outstanding part of this show. Every single actor, even the newcomer Effect, is able to create a full-fledged character and give vitality to a lackluster plot. There are very little awkward pauses, stiff or unconvincing acting. It is a joy to watch a BL with genuinely good acting.
The weakest aspect of this series is the plot, not the script. The script delivers punchy, hilarious, and outrageous scenes that are paired with a great eye for direction. The framing of many scenes help make the scene funnier and elevate the irony and comedy, for example the flashback scene at the beginning of episode 10. The framing, paired with great use of sound editing, really elevates the hilarity and absurdity of the situation. Unfortunately, the sound editing also falls short on many other scenes, where the emotion is lost because of awkward pauses, lack of background sound, or audio mixing.
Though the plot is weak and somewhat unimaginative, the series is still quite enjoyable. It is not meant to be a serious romance for the ages and it sticks to it's Rom-Com vibes throughout, staring with the opening song. In fact, if you're familiar with 90's Hollywood Rom-Coms, this series is exactly in the same category. It delivers exactly what it promises: A silly time that will put a smile on your face and make you believe true love exists somewhere in this world.

Those three dreaded words that I don't like to see

Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

I have finally gotten the time to come around to write this review. I enjoyed watching it as I believe that Boss and Nouel (especially Boss) did an excellent job in this series. I was seeing them act in a different light compared to their previous two series. Boss had me entertained with his antics. And I believe that Nouel was able to play off that for his character. We still of course get steamy scenes from them in this series.

I honestly feel that if it was just focusing on Fu and Moo characters that I would give this series a higher score. But we are introduced to other supporting side couples, and I felt that we were not able to explore them properly as it was only a 10 episodes series. I initially thought that we were getting to see Fu's brothers enter relationships like him, but we are introduced to the beginning (maybe the end of one for now?) of two more, making it four supporting couples. The youngest one actually ended okay for me because it's young love, so I don't mind seeing where that one goes. The middle brother, Tai, I felt his relationship with Yu wasn't explored properly leaving me wanting more.

The next one I got confused until I realized that it wasn't his friend with the police officer but someone who dated Kluayhom (Earth's character). And then coming down to the end their friend, Tian, who likes to sleep around, seems to be interested in one of the workers in Fu's hotel, who is putting up a resistance to be with him. And with all of these relationships just left open, it got annoyed to me...until I saw those three dreaded words at the end of the series- to be continued. Now, some series do get to be continued while some...don't. I do not know if we would be fortunate enough to have this series continue. But as of right now, i can only give a grade for what was presented to me and that's why i am going with 7.5.
