New Arthdal

If you like historical fantasies, this show is for you. The cinematography was fantastic, and the entire season is quite promising. This season's ending was such a cliffhanging situation —no idea what will happen next. This part of season 1 was a visual treat with action-packed episodes.
Eun seum, Tae el ha, Xabara and Momo tribe were the main MVPs.
Tagon and Tae al ha, man, what characters fueled with a hunger for power and control over people. Their dynamics between then are completely shaken and shifted up. Saya is weak and a monster with an angel's smile, but because of Tagon, he is powerful.
Eun seum united two clans of the Ago tribe and has a long way to go.
Song Joong Ki did a phenomenal job as Eun seum and Saya.
Tanya realised that she should not trust anyone and had to gain more support from the commoners to protect her people.
I like Chaueen and Nunbyeol's characters. They lost a great deal due to Tagon and Tae el ha.
Asa Ron dug his own grave. Xabara and Momo tribe people are so damn cool and could have got more screen time. I really hope to see them in next season.

The one-sided rivalry into lovers.

Frankly, I have mixed feelings. The scene of every episode and OST has a lot of originality!

I love how Phuwin portrayed Pi's character and his insecurities, weakness, and determination. I love the way he is flawed because not everyone is perfect. I feel that from the beginning of the series, Pi is really charming in his own way. It makes him such a complex character, and he feels real. His past was so sad if we actually think about it, and every action he made honestly really understandable considering how hard it has been for him all these while. Eventually, he overcame his biggest fear and lived happily with Mork.
I have no words for Mork. Seriously, how can someone like him exist? He is good-looking, popular and charming, but he falls for Pi. His patience, care, and love for Pi. I think he fell in love the moment he saw Pi for the first time. The way he said, "I can be your vaccine, Pi". Damn, man, it hit me hard. I also love the shift in the dynamics between the leads.
Duean and Meen's scene makes my day; it is cute and funny. I will miss Duean's lack of brain cells and Meen's bubbly personality.
Introducing Bam's character almost at the end of the did bring a twist, and the way she shared Pi's old photos, although it was terrible, finally helped Pi break the wall he built around himself.
Finally, to Koh, Yok, James and Jeans, you guys were phenomenal and funny.

B F to BF (If you, you know)

The series had a good start, and the story's pace was slightly fast. The chemistry between Uea and King is captivating. The whole cast did an outstanding job with their characters.

Plot:
It is different from my usual preference.
Net and James were the perfect choices for Uea and King. I loved the scene between Uea and King. Uea had a terrible history with his family, and his sister Tonkhao was the only one who truly cared about him. All his exes cheated on him, while King is a player with an overprotective family. Jade was the only supportive friend they both had in common. So, the story revolves around how they became boyfriends from bed friends.

Uea and King had sizzling chemistry throughout the series. They had their fair share of problems (Uea's mom, stepdad, ex, Krit, King's possessiveness, and inability to accept their true feelings), but they overcame all this. They also had well-wishers who directly and indirectly helped.

Well-wishers:
Jade (Yim) was fantastic and was always there for his best friends. Gun (Thomas), Faii (Dada) and Muay (Bookko) were funny.
Tonkhao was a sweetie and could have got more screen time.
Uea's aunt was a lovely addition and could get more screen time.
The Boss is a sweet and straightforward supportive character.
Based on King's conservation with Uea, I thought King's mom might cause trouble in King-Uea's relationship, but she was a fantastic addition and a true boss lady. King's mom warmed up towards King-Uea's relationship.

Baddies:
Krit character was a great addition. Though Krit was so damn annoying, he did an excellent job. Because of him, Uea was able to move on. His cousin Mongkol was lazy. Krit and Mongkol got want they deserved. But Mongkol realised his mistakes, while Krit got kicked out.
Uea's mom has never cared for or protected him and is very selfish.
Uea's stepdad was the devil with an angel's face. Both mom and stepdad got what they truly deserved.

OST: Phenomenal. Net and James has an exceptional voice, and all the other tracks were also excellent.

Never let me go

Quite promising! Overall this story does have a strong pilot. It starts off with intense emotions. The storyline is typical but has a fresh feel to it. The lead pair's acting skills have improved drastically, and all the cast members complement each other's roles well. Mid-episodes give the feeling of a magical summer romance with a deepening feeling between Nueng and Palm. Towards the end, there was a big u-turn into the thriller element with massive emotional turmoil among both couples. If you truly love someone, you will do anything to make sure everything is perfect, no matter what the cost you have to pay for the other person's happiness. This emotion was well portrayed by both the lead couples. I hope I didn't reveal much.

Nueng and Palm: Pond and Phuwin did great with their respective characters. Nueng's jealousy over Maggie is funny and cute. Both Nueng and Palm subconsciously have feelings towards each other, but they are not able to express them properly. Wu and David's proposal gave the push Nueng needed to ask Palm to date, while Mama Mam gave that push to Palm. Phuwin as Nueng 2.0 towards the end was on point and top-notch. The whole reminiscences track between Nueng and Palm made this episode worthwhile. Nueng and Palm had lost the essence of their happiness, but ultimately, they got want they truly deserved.
Ben and Chopper: Initially, I felt terrible for Chopper, and I was not too fond of Ben and Nueng's scenes. Ben did cause a significant problem, which made Nueng doubt everyone who was genuinely friendly and caring towards him. But no one can actually blame him because he was forced to do this by his toxic father. I felt terrible for Chopper. Got their happy ending.
Kit: Crucial character.
Phiphop: He seemed like a good and caring father.
Tanya: She is such a sweetheart who loves her son no matter what happens and trusts him. Mrs Tanya did a great job by giving the push Nueng required.
Maggie: She is one of the few who truly cares and understands Palm. She is fresh and supportive.
Channon: The way Palm's dad treats him is awful, but in the end, he realised his mistakes.
Mama Mam: Her character is funny and a much-needed character to be introduced to lighten the whole vibe of the series. I like Mam's character development, and it just makes sense everyone has the right to live their life on their terms, especially all the Asian mothers out there because they make many sacrifices for their families. I really wish we had more episodes with her.
Phum: Double-faced and doesn't know the entire side of the story and acted based on it, but in the end, he knows the truth.

OSTs:
"Living for you" OST by Phuwin is magical and heavenly and complimented the wedding scene well.
"Only One" by Pond is sweet and gives the feeling of longing.
I really enjoyed listening to them.
All the other music chosen for the whole series was fantastic.

Multiverse of cuteness - Gun-Tinn

What a fantabulous start, and it is honestly a multiverse of cuteness overloaded. The cast did a great job with the respective characters' switches. The crew did a fabulous job compiling the significant events and presented them in crisp form within two episodes. The originality of the story didn't get lost. Fourth and Gemini were cute, and their chemistry was off the charts. In this universe, all couples had a natural attraction towards each other from the beginning. Por-Tiw were the power couple. Tinn's mom was the main MVP, and she was humorous. Ratchanee (Gun's mom) was funny too, and I couldn't see her as a serious character. I totally didn't expect Kajorn to like Pat. The MV was a great tribute to "He's Coming to Me", "Bad Buddy", and "A Tale of thousand stars". I loved every bit of it. Great job.
All the OSTs were excellent.
