Ep.9. Wow! I wasn't expecting this to be so good. It looked like the typical lovey-dovey stereotypical BL. Boy is shy, meets another boy, love, acceptance, a little drama for drama sake. The characters are well-rounded and flawed, the secondary hetro couple is actually developed, have good motivations, and feel real. That dinner scene was one of the best! Gaya Sa Pelikular livels of intense and realism! Nu (Gene's dad) is basically a professional extra/ support but boy does he bring Teep to life! Well done! Great to see an adult character in a BL struggle with sexual identity. Aoey is an extremely flawed character. We can have sympathy for him, though. The scene with his parents was so telling, letting us understand where his motivations lie. I must say, I really thought he was after Nubsib, not Gene, so well done writers! The effect of Gene's coming out on the family was epic! Usually, in mass-marketed BL's, it's the couple comes out, acceptance, and celebration. Here we see every member of the family being affected! Yes, Thailand may seem like a paradise for same-sex couples, as portrayed in other dramas, but the reality is way different. Society still has stigmas attached to that. Lovely Writer is doing a great job, from showing Gene's introverted wish not to be known, to how it affects those around. Well done Dee Hup!
OK. What the H was that? I mean enemy to friend trope, but overnight? There could have been some development! Tue took Ake's phone and they almost fought. Couldn't the friendship start to develop from there? Couldn't Ake open up to Tue about boxing being his dad's dream and the relationship start to thaw? From there the attraction could start to build? Come on! I understand the series time is short, but Copy A Bangkok in this business too long to let bad scripts get past the project approvers! Girl Next Room was in this quick succession of characters/ stories theme and look at the kind of development the individuals got there! Didn't feel linear nor so unnervingly quick!
yeah but this is not really a case of survivors guilt. He felt guilty coz he was in fact partially responsible…
Torfon also walked into the street when the picture blew away from her. It wasn't irresponsible, just muscle memory to retrieve the item. Although the illegal race was sighted, the fact that she walked into oncoming traffic could be brought up in the case, possibly dropping the charge from vehicular manslaughter to just one off the illegal racing of a motor vehicle. That could be the case even if "money" wasn't involved to drop the litigation.
Nat and Oliver have a palpable chemistry together! Their appearance in Club Friday was amazing, and this is no different. Fah is beautiful. Hope to see more of her on GMM. Story wise it's quite a generic lakorn, but the acting is good. Somewhat different from what GMM usually posts.
Did anyone else see the "where are they now" part after the finale?? Like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!! Why did they…
Arm deserved much better. Couldn't they imagine a more happy ending for him? Moved to Bangkok, met a doctor, hit it off, and still alive in the city???
It was an entertaining ride if nothing else. Executed some concepts nicely. It is always great to see talented actors like Off in non-sterotypical roles.
Nuea was the only real character in this series and at least he had a happy ending. Maybe a pre-series about him? As for this show, it has to be the more disappointing of the decade. Even more disappointing than TGIF . . .
How the royal hell could they close out with Arm being dead 1 month after the breakup? They really had nothing happy for him???
The best part of this show was WayuFilm apologising at the end crawl for any commissions and errors. This was one whole error . . .
This... isn't a BL? Bromance at best and more than half the time I'm not sure those two boys like each other at…
We have to remember that Aron is still the son of the former caretaker and is on the property at Kian's dad's behest. There is still a class divide between the two, but it was quite well handled.
Wow. Nice simple, sweet story. Great acting from these newbies! If nothing, this deserves a continuation of the story! We need to see the Aron graduate. We need to see the restaurant succeed! We need to meet the parents (even in flashbacks)! We need to know the back stories! Really epic work, UnframedFilm! Hoping to see more!
A traditional BL this is not, and I'm glad for that. Nice that Max and Tul could get a serious drama that addresses so many topical issues in Thailand at the moment without the BL theme being overpowering and overwhelming. Just enough to their relationship to keep that going, but the mystery is so much more! Feels almost Korean in its execution!

And even that is badly used at times . . .
The growth of the two characters through the story was great. We don't need any kiss nor sex scene to enjoy a coming of age story!
Great acting from these newbies!
