Thank You Nyx

Honest Opinion

There's actually no doubt when it comes to K-Dramas. Most of them end up really good no matter what. Imagine IU and BWS in one frame?? Who would want to miss that? And that pairing is just arghhh... Nyx is melting.
There’s no question either when it comes to acting and production. Korean directors rarely settle for less when it comes to cinematography, emotions, and execution.
Story-wise, it actually feels refreshing. The issues and conflicts are valid and interesting, but I think they weren’t explored deeply enough. The drama introduces a lot of emotional and personal conflicts, yet sometimes it feels like they move past them too quickly because they also wanted to maintain the romcom vibe. Which honestly, I’m not complaining about because the balance still made the series enjoyable and easy to watch.
Maybe that’s the best way to explain it, the show feels emotionally rich, but not emotionally heavy. It touches serious topics without fully drowning the audience in them, and instead chooses to keep the warmth, comfort, and chemistry at the center of everything.

Honest opinion

If I'm gonna tell myself that this is purely fictional, then I might actually like it a lot. It’s funny, cute, romantic, and comforting in many ways. However, even if it’s fiction, I still see the story as somehow realistic. The life they’re trying to show, along with the lessons and virtues they want to convey, are things that genuinely happen in real life.
The act of taking things slowly, trying to understand people, and not being afraid to ask for help when you need it — those are all beautiful messages.
What I personally struggled with was how they approached Sun’s trauma and condition, which seems heavily inspired by DID and age regression. If someone you deeply love experienced something like that in real life, wouldn’t you continuously seek proper professional help until you reached a clearer understanding of what was happening? Going to the hospital once or twice doesn’t really feel enough. Handling it mostly by yourselves, testing hypotheses with friends, and relying on trial and error felt unrealistic for such a serious condition.
I think that’s why it threw me off. The conflict itself felt realistic, but the way they dealt with it felt unrealistic just to keep the romcom vibe. I’m not really sure if that came from the novel itself or just from the series adaptation.
On the lighter note, no questions when it comes to PerthSanta’s dedication, chemistry, and performance. They really carried the emotional side of the story beautifully.
Also, after reading reviews, I noticed that most people genuinely loved this series. So maybe this is just me being honest about how I personally experienced it. It’s probably just not my cup of tea… and maybe I’m also just not naturally fond of children in real life.

Chaotic in it's own pace

The most common comment I see while watching OFDO is that everyone’s looking for the chaotic “mix and match” vibe from S1. And yes, a lot of them ended up disappointed because OFDO decided to take a different path this season. At first, that was my reaction too. Like, what do you mean it’s already Episode 5 and Boston still hasn’t kissed anyone yet? 😭
But the longer I stayed with this series, the more I realized that the chaos they wanted to show isn’t the same kind of chaos from S1. It has its own identity, and honestly, it works well on its own.
If you ask me, my favorite parts are Dean and Raffy’s constant “puksaan,” the cameos from the original S1 cast, and the bittersweet relationship of JackDean.
Another thing I really love is the filming locations, especially the apartments of the characters. You can actually see their personalities through the way their spaces are designed. And I know some of you noticed those photo-style scene transitions too, that was such a cool touch.
But yeah, if you’re expecting the same kind of chaos as S1… you’re probably in the wrong room.

New, Cute... but...

I didn't read the synopsis before deciding to watch this, so I was surprised to find out that it was a fantasy series. That didn't bother me at all, though—I love all kinds of genres.

The story they wanted to tell is there, and it's good. It also feels fresh and different. The couples have great chemistry, including their younger versions.

However, I found some episodes a bit boring. I can't quite put my finger on it, but some scenarios felt repetitive. Thankfully, the series kept introducing twist after twist, which made me stay invested and eager to find out what would happen next.

I just wish they had given more focus to the Girl in Black, Hong, and the White Guy toward the end. It was clear that they played very important roles in the overall twists, and I would have loved to learn more about them.

Overall, it's still a good watch and one I'd recommend.

Honest Opinion

This is the kind of slow burn I’ve been looking for. The plot feels fresh and different. It’s not perfect, but knowing it was made on a small budget makes it easier to appreciate what it achieved.
At first, I kept complaining to my friends that the series was introducing conflicts it couldn’t fully sustain. But with a possible Season 2, I’m hoping it gets the chance to really deliver on those ideas.
And the chemistry between the two actors? Absolutely through the roof. Especially if you follow them on social media. It may be a slow burn in the series, but in real life, you definitely won’t be left starving.

Ichitan's Ad

I'll admit it, I fell in love with Net in this series. I didn't realize that man is hot AF. 🤭🤭 And Latte... arghhh. Do I even need to explain myself when it comes to these two?

Chemistry-wise, NetJJ and LatteKim are carrying it. Story-wise, it's amazing. They managed to perfectly balance the depth of the story, the comedy, the romance, and of course, the angst. I especially love the JomKaew angst. I'm a sucker for that kind of emotional pain.

As they say, Domundi has done it again. And one thing I always appreciate about DMD is how they handle their NC scenes. They're not driven purely by lust; they're delivered with passion, emotion, and the characters' devotion to each other.

One highlight I'll always remember is how cleverly they squeezed in Ichitan's ads. Seriously, how smart was that? I won't spoil anything, but it's definitely worth the hype.

Highly recommended.

Ruined momentum

Discovering this series and hearing Boy Sompob's voice right from the start felt magical. I really liked how it began. It gave us that fluffy, green-flag top that was impossible to resist. And can we talk about the cast? The main couple, the second couple... honestly, everyone was handsome!

However, somewhere in the middle, NC scenes started becoming a major part of the series. Again, I don't hate NC scenes, but I feel they should happen at the right timing. As for the plot, the blackmailing, kidnapping, and all that, it just felt a little off for me. I'm sorry. The characters also didn't seem to have much development. Until the very end, they kept dragging themselves around with the same toxic traits. Lol.

Last but not least, that dance they were practicing. I swear they were practicing the same dance throughout the entire series. 😂

Hmmmm. Kind of expecting a lot.

Flower Boy has a very interesting premise. A fantasy series centered around a person's scent being literally out of this world? That's unique. And honestly, them naming Pearl's character "Scent", that was cute.

That said, I can't shake the feeling that this project was rushed. Since Love in the Moonlight was such a success, I assume they wanted to ride that hype. Unfortunately, because of that, I couldn't stop comparing the two. LITM set the bar high and became one of my favorite series, so I kept asking myself: what happened here?

The story already had a solid foundation. They even cast a great actor for Obey. He could have delivered an iconic sassy, toxic ex-type character, but instead they made him sassy yet surprisingly kind. Not that it's bad, but it felt like they didn't fully utilize his potential. There were also quite a few plot holes throughout the series.

Even the climax didn't excite me. I can't exactly pinpoint whether it's the script, pacing, or execution, but the buildup of the romance felt lacking. Because of that, the angst didn't hit me as hard as it should have.

And the ads... please. The product placements were so obvious and distracting that they kept pulling me out of the story.

As for the ending, it didn't really make sense to me. It's not even an open ending. It's just confusing. Maybe there's an explanation I'm missing, but it left me with more questions than emotions.

Sorry if this review sounds harsh. I don't mean to be a b*tch about it. I'm just genuinely disappointed because I can see the potential this series had.

In the end, the thing that truly saved the show for me was PearlPeak's chemistry. They worked with what they were given, and you can tell both actors are incredibly promising. I really hope they get another series together someday because they deserve a project that lets them fully shine.

Chaotic but Funny

It was nice to see different people with different professions in one show. We have singers, actors, and a DJ. What surprised me is that they are signed with different agencies/companies.
This show had me laughing every episode. All members have their own sense of humor. They have their own weaknesses and strengths. One thing for sure, all of them are not here just to play. They might be fooling around, but every one of them takes the challenges very seriously. And you know how I know? It’s because almost all of them are injured! 🤣🤣
What I like the most is that within those 10 episodes, you can see the progress of their bond. Also, you can see their individual transformation. They started off shy in the early episodes, but became more fearless and strong as the show went on.
I also like that they have different guests every episode. It helped me discover different artists (I just got to know Phuak, Oat, and Ink here).
It’s just sad when they are not complete. If I remember correctly, they were only complete in 3 out of 10 episodes. But, you know… showbiz. It’s really hard to keep schedules aligned.

Honest opinion

First things first, this is going to be a hard review for me. I will be honest that I have a hard time separating my opinion as someone who read the novel, especially that TSFAS is my favorite BL novel.
Watching it was very special to me. To see Arthit and Daotok not just in my imagination but literally as real people. Them choosing Ngern and Oat to do this is the best part. They were able to portray ThitDao well. And of course, we also got the best person for Direk — Jab. Other cast also did a good job, especially our Mae Min. I think my only negative take with the casting was Dao’s two fathers. I can’t see the chemistry and the actors’ connection with the characters.
As I said, it’s hard for me not to compare it to the novel, but I still believe that they were able to make it a good series. The story is still there. They were still able to make me cry with DoMin and the hidden sadness of Arthit.
But one thing I really noticed were those small things that were not included in the series. For others, it might be small, but those were what ThitDao was made of. Those small details that show Arthit’s gentleness and vulnerability. That show why Dao is Dao. The little moments that show how genuine and magical their love is. I love the Arthit that I saw in the series, but he was not the Arthit I fell in love with while reading the book. It’s missing some small elements, but then again, those small things are the reason why I love Arthit and Daotok so much.
Overall, I still appreciate the series for what it gave and how it brought the story to life. It may not be exactly how I imagined it, but it still holds a special place in my heart. And maybe that’s okay, because some stories are just meant to feel different when they leave the pages and become real.

What am I expecting??

The simplicity of this series carries such deep emotions. This is why I fell in love with JBL, and honestly, it's been a while since I last felt this way about one.
I fell in love with it in the first episode, then slowly fell out of love after two or three episodes. But then I stopped and asked myself: What exactly was I expecting from this series?
The characters are literally in their late 30s. So what was I expecting? Fluff? Pick-up lines? Cringey romantic moments?
And that's when I fell in love with it all over again.
This series is not for everyone. As I've mentioned before, this isn't your usual fluffy, student-themed BL. This is real life. There's very little fantasy in it. Instead, it hits hard with themes like midlife crises, the struggle between choosing stability or happiness, the pain of slowly losing people through death, falling apart, and of course, love and marriage—especially as a queer person.
So yeah, it's not for everyone, but I'll definitely recommend it to all of you.
Bye and peace

Very cliché but i love petty angst

This series is lowkey giving Jinx in its first episode, just with a different sport. But after that, you'll realize it's actually very different from Jinx.
Honestly, there's not that much special about the storyline, but I'll be honest... I got hooked. Hahahaha. Why? Because the story is cliché, but it's giving the classic Wattpad stories we read 15 years ago. The angst is cliché too, but sorry, that's exactly the kind of angst I'm weak for. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
The second thing I like is that the main lead took a long time to forgive the other. Yes! Let him suffer! Let him yearn!
I didn't like the ending, though. They could've given us more.
So overall, I wouldn't really say this is a great series. It just happens that I'm weak for this kind of angst. Hahahaha.
