Adorable Start to GMMTV's GL Journey
I can still remember the day GMMTV announced that MilkLove were getting their own GL. I wasn't watching it live (different timezones, I ended up waking up a little too late, RIP) but pressing play on the 23.5 pilot trailer and seeing Love bump into Milk into made me feel like I was going insane!! Two years later, we finally have the full 23.5 series and it's honestly as great as I imagined it would be. It was light and fluffy, the pacing was stellar, and the acting was on top. The Earth plot-line was well written for the first half of the show and OngsaSun's relationship was super cute for the middle of the show. I do have a bit of qualms with the later part of the show with the whole family dinner situation and the fallout of that, but I kind of expected that as this isn't my first GMMTV show (they have a pattern). The stand outs of the show for me were Ongsa and Aylin, they were super dorky and lovable while still being flawed and young and human (or alien!). All in all, it hurts a little bit to see such a negative reception of this show on this site, seeing as it was very clear from the beginning the tone this show wanted to go for, but to each their own I guess. 23.5, you will always have a special place in my heart.
