Unconditional Love
Just so sweet and pure. Love this so muchThis is real representation, Getting to see their difficulties and share in their happiness and i truly truly appreciated it so much
Not just understanding them but also getting to become more aware of various aspects that i didn't before.
I'm happy they were brave enough to open their lives to us and this will help so many people to be as brave and also hopefully bring understanding and more acceptance starting in Korea
It doesn't happen in one day, it starts with a step and this was a gigantic one and I'm so thrilled to have experienced this.
It got me so emotional (CRIED) on every episode, not like i was sad, it was mixture of so many emotions, happiness, sadness, understanding, acceptance, warmth, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and other feelings i cant explain or put into words
The couples were so open and sincere to the best of their abilities
Also seeing sincere moments with Family and Friends, getting to learn the experiences and the effects on them. So much support and acceptance, even the ones that didn't. We get to the reality and authenticity of their love, The one they had for each other and the love their family had for them.
The hosts were also really great.
I wish i could thank all the couples, hosts and Waave for bringing this to life.
Just Beautiful!
I hope this gets many more seasons, because the world needs to see its all really the same love
Recognition and Acceptance is very IMPORTANT.
No fetishizing or sexualizing, Just pure pure and real love
Wishing the best and only the best onwards for them. FIGHTING!!
PS. This is a must watch xo

ANOTHER IRRITATING LONG ADVERTISEMENT
I'll save you the trouble and tell you for free. DONT WATCH IT. It's an incredibly stupid series and I'll list all the reasons why.STORY. 1/10
Dislikes.(I really mean "hate")
There isn't any story here, it's lackluster with all the BL clichés, tropes and zero substance and even worse, it was so poorly executed, I can't stress that enough, the execution was the major problem. Same old story of two men who meet in an unlikely situation and caught feelings for each other and won't communicate, run around pretending to like each other, this story could have gone so so well but they ruined the whole thing, and since we're talking about the story, it's the writer and GMMTV to blame for this nonsense, they have this disease because they have an established platform to drag in viewers to watch misleading contents because they trust us to be stupid. This shit show and SIMM are the exact same but this is exceedingly worse. In fact, they are the same. They are just irritating in their own different ways.
Likes. So if this could had been executed differently because I liked the change of scenery, where the show was set which was quite nice and new for me and I liked the culture that was brought to play but they ruined the sweet memories I had, I hope by next year I forgot entirely I ever wasted my time on this.
ACTING. 1/10
Dislikes.
First of all.. ????
What acting?
The leads especially can't act even if their lives depended on it, every expression is forced, movement, words, even the unnecessary pauses they take when talking is so infuriating my goodness! Just to extend the running time
To top it off, this is 2022 and Thailand are the lead in production of BLs(not the best products, they just produce a lot, for popularity and money) and yet GMMTV can't get people who actually know how to do their jobs? Why act a BL if you know that you can't execute a job when working with same sex partner, like why bother? For fame? To seek attention. Well you got it. Def not from me tho. Because these four men do more "acting" off screen than on screen and it's so obvious, you can't act but you're going out there being flirty and doing "skinship" omg. They are just the worst. If they put in that energy in the series as were supposed to this would have been better. You're acting like you like someone just so people could "ship" you and you'd get love and attention on a series that doesn't make sense. GMMTV encourages this unhealthy behavior instead of getting people who are suitable and want to work. Make a good story and you don't need to act like you anything but colleagues/friends off screen but no. They roll off the back of delusional fans that think they are cute when they absolutely are not. This is emotional extortion at its peak!
Likes.
The kids were even better actors than the leads and the second couple from the prequel that they kept shoving down our throats because they couldn't think of a better way to add substance to the show just how to bring in an advert every two seconds.
The kids were so cute and played the roles right on the money. brought lots of fluff and necessary chaos, loved them
The friends did a good I tried to save the day whenever they showed to the screen but really their efforts couldn't save this mess.
MUSIC. 1/10
Please don't get me started on how they play the same instrumentals every time ??? to force some kind of connection or "moment"
It felt like torture. The tune was even better than any moment they were trying to portray but at some point, because they all played it in horribly acted moments, it became quickly associated with pain to my ears. Rolled my eyes every time it came on.
They didn't even put the effort to make good music or insert good songs to keep the flow
REWATCH VALUE.

Even if you want to kill time, this isn't it. It's better to stare at the ceiling, trust me
Because that's why I started it in first place, to keep busy till the good stuff I follow drops.
OVERALL.
It really shouldn't exist but considering it does, you don't have to see it. I've made the painful sacrifice of seeing it without skipping and this 6th episode just took me TF out, gave one the worst kisses I've ever seen, pretending to make it intense and oh they can't the tone on this lmao but it was still horrible, poorly directed and acted because the build up was quite good but then meh!
I'm honestly embarrassed for these guys. Especially Joong because he's so cute and deserves better than GMMTV.
They need to be thoroughly coached on acting, their workshops and get a director that knows their onions.
Oh well. That'll be it. There's probably more but I believe I've said all that needs to be heard
I've vented and tried to stay detailed and give credit to where was due while at it
GMMTV with the Queerbaiting and these obviously straight men who are gay for pay need to stop like seriously.
They need to understand why a lot of people are watching and it's not this. They need to learn to actually give proper LGBTQ representation because the stories of Queers need to be heard. You may not show all the dark parts but the least you can do is be realistic
I'm done with this company till they start doing better.
Rating. 1/10 and that's because I can't give any lower than that.
If you are really lacking what to watch this, pick something else, feel free to comment for suggestions because I'm open to watch all genres and from all countries and as long as it's good.
This is my first negative review.
I usually don't give bad reviews or comments neither do I like to compare because stories are different and I don't like to drop BLs but this can't be saved, I like to give them time to develop or just give a constructive comment but this left such a horrid taste in my mouth, I had to let it out.
Sleep instead if you have nothing better to do or even better go spend some time with someone you love or you could just go lay outside by yourself and stare at the Sky and Stars and trust me, you'll have a much better and more meaningful experience
Cheers.

"I've loved you since the day you were born" ❤️ MUST WATCH
I personally loved this series so much. I have never written a review but I felt like I had to because of all the negative reviews and comments going on about this, yes everyone is entitled to their opinions but I'm writing this review for those who like to keep an open mind.First off I believe the negativity is because Most BL viewers are so addicted to the same old High school/University plotline that they can't comprehend anything different.
That aside I'll get into why I loved this
LIKES.
1.Plot : I really loved the plot, Age gap couples are real and deserve proper representation too, I believe they are even more real than school sweethearts but people don't like to talk about it.
There is usually miscommunication at the start with such relationship because both parties are really focused on pleasing the other and feel a certain sense of insecurity so there'll be a level of acting or trying to portray yourself in a way that your partner would like. It's annoying and not healthy but eventually you'd work around it and get to a healthy place. I've lived this story myself and it can be chaotic and that's what this truly portrays, you have to get to the end and putting yourself in their shoes to be able to understand the story being told.
At the end of the day, not everyone can do that and we like what we like but please keep an open mind.
2. The acting. The actors did really good. Very good actually. Foei was the comic relief, he gave life to every scene he appeared lol
The friends of Kuea would also a really cute and funny moments ☺️
3. The couples. I loved all the couples. And the Chemistry with all of them was on fire! ZeeNuNew got the most screen time so their issues were explored more than the other couples although NuerSin were pretty cut and dry to me, very predictable but they are cute that's for sure. MaxNat needed more screen time on going into their backstory like in the novel but the actors did really well with what they were given
4. The Visuals are out of this world, on every scene! They've had the best visuals I've seen in any BL tbvh then of course ITSAY!
5. OST. I have every one and they all fit the scenes and moments precisely. NuNew's voice can literally save lives!! ?
6. Rewatch Value. Well I've seen it 50 times since it came out. I'll prolly see it even more times till I get more projects from them lol
7. The styling of everyone was also very good, everyone dressed really well for whatever character or moment it was needed
8. I like that they were also advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and they still do even out of the series
DISLIKES.
Like everyone I would scream when they were pretending or lying or hiding this. Like we know you love each other but how about some COMMUNICATION! But if all the problems were fixed all at once well then there won't be much of a story to tell would there and besides, its also not easy for all the changes to happen so quickly or so easily.
Everyone was having an inner battle waiting for the other to fold but they got to learn there's no winning in love in very catastrophic and heart breaking ways which shouldn't have been.
Other than the lack of communication. I loved everything about this
Okay, Thank me later xoxo
