When Oranges Fall Is The Softest and Most Comforting BL of the Year, A Sweet Little Gem From GMMTV

I did not expect to fall in love with When Oranges Fall this quickly. I was completely hooked by how cute, soft, and fluffy everything felt. I have been watching so many toxic, crime filled, and murder mystery BLs lately, so this series honestly feels like such a refreshing change. It is warm, comforting, and full of youthful charm in the best way possible.

This is my first time seeing Progress and Almond acting, and wow, GMMTV really knows how to cast their high school BLs perfectly. Both of them feel so natural in their roles, and the fact that they are close to the age of the characters makes everything feel more believable and genuine. They are both so young and talented already.

What surprised me the most is how different this series feels from a typical GMMTV production. The cinematography and scenery capturing the late 1990s to early 2000s atmosphere are done beautifully. I love the rural setting, the old style high school, and seeing teenage boys riding bikes around town instead of being glued to phones and computers. Watching them sit outside reading comic books and spending time in nature gives the show such a nostalgic and peaceful feeling.

The friendship group is also adorable and so fun to watch. Every interaction feels natural and heartwarming. The story between Ko One and Ko Two already has me invested. I love the whole neighbour dynamic and how their personalities completely clash at first. You can already feel the slow burn romance building underneath all the teasing and awkward moments. I just know watching them slowly fall for each other is going to be the cutest journey ever.

I also love how they communicate using cans and strings instead of being constantly glued to their phones. This series reminds me so much of Bad Buddy. It’s like they’re Pat and Pran’s babies. ❤️

So far, this series feels almost perfect to me. It is sweet, comforting, nostalgic, and genuinely refreshing. This has been my comfort shows for the last few months .

Honestly, I have watched every single GMMTV series released this year, and this is easily my favorite one so far.
