I was bored so I read about 5 chapters of the original novel and I must say that the drama is pretty faithful to the source material, of course, some scenes were added up but the majority of book plot is kept the same.
The book was written from a first-person perspective so it gives the readers good insight into Taley character.
Taley in book is funny, confident, quirky, and kinda mouthy in a charming kind of way making him a good and likable rom-com protagonist.
This make me think of a bar scene where Sea and Ohm both played Taley - Ohm version was much more confident and mouthy while Sea version was taking a step back afraid to step on anyone's toes. Do I need to say which one makes a better rom-com protagonist?

Nice BL series with trans character - DNA Says Love You (2022)

Something about Pie character or actor is just so creepy to me....

If you like fluffy rom - com. It can be something for you. Show is more concentrated on fluff rather than plot...

You are not missing much - i am up to date with all airing BL and majority of them can't be even called decent...

This drama is a living example of things going wrong.
1)It is based on a novel (that is not too long) from what I heard and probably would only need 5 episodes in total for the story it wants to tell. But what production do stretch it out for 10 episodes...
2) Some side characters have almost the same screentime as the main couple
3) Band that is shown time after time still didn't play even 10 seconds of music
4) What is the point of giving the character pink hair if in every shot he has a different shade of pink on his head?
5) Pavel is such a hotty - just why did they give him such an unflattering hairstyle? His character Plengrak is so dull that it would really help this show if Pavel natural hotties could distract viewers at last a little.
6) Duean Yi character not only took some inspiration from Nuea from Cutie Pie but they even styled the actor in a similar vibe while even the actor's delivery of lines is like blunt copy....
7) Duean Yi character is not likable - he is behaving like an entitled young master (no wonder check - point 6)
8) Too many side characters that were introduced, given screen time but disappear. I know that they needed to stretch this show to 10 episodes but they couldn't think of a better way?
9) Script is bad - to the point that i am sure that if I asked a group of middle schoolers to write it, I would get better results than what we are getting.

I will end here because i still can continue for several points..

Can't say I don't agree with some of your points. But for me VV is not beyond redemption yet.

Never been too much of fan of ATOTS due how they censored it to get into Chinese market... While Sotus and TOL really put GMMTV on BL fans radar and are still enjoyable watch even after a few years since they werr first aired.
But everyone taste differ :)

It still too early to tell if VV is going Cutie Pie route... we are only 3/12. It can go either way,
If Talay and Puen had more romantic tension episode 3 would be a nice start to their relationship building. But there is no spark between them 🙄🙄🙄 making me personally feel like I am watching fanservice mixed with product placement and not romance drama...

Foot fetish is a thing 🙄🙄🙄

It like ultimate junk food, not good for your health but the more you eat the more you like it.

They won't. At best after Sun dad show up we will have time skip that will show how things are going year later or something. In 25 min. they don't have time for more...

With some BL, one Thai girl active here explained to me that In Thailand they have restriction when is come to kissing. Like if kissing is more than some specific time it need to be cropped or it will be considered 18+ .
Unfortunately i don't remember specific of her explanation.

Hmmm episode 4 was better than the previous 3 but it could have more to do with the story unfolding because storytelling and over-dramatic vibe are just painful to watch

You are right they let the ball fall at the introduction phrase.
But Jimmy performance in VV is nothing to write home about, if he bought even 1/10 of intensity he had in BB conformation stage he would bought a lot of life in his character.

Check director and scriptwriter - they are good ones. Also most bad trailers from GGMTV end up with good shows so i have high exception for this one.

Not so sure - check director she is popular and award winning one. She is also smart she hide all mystery and supernatural elements from the trailer and concentrated on romance that - most Bl watchers prefer.
She also won awards for screenwriting so she won't put up with GMMTV just to get her name smeared.
