LET ME KEEP GOING. Okay, next up are Dao and Arthit, and I lowkey loved them. I thought their story was really good, so let's get into my review. I would give it an 8.5 out of 10. And I'm going to say what I liked, what I didn't, and then an episode overview.

Starting off strong was the start. Unlike our previous couple, their start was actually really good, and I feel like it actually set this show up perfectly. It showed all of the characters as well as all the relevant background characters, and it was very to the point, which is always nice to see.

OH MY GOD. The next thing I liked was THE GIRL WHOSE BF DIED. I fucking loved that. And you know, I should hate that; I really should, because it was kind of an irrelevant plot line to take away from our main couple, but they made me wanna fucking BAWL MY EYES OUT. I loved every second of them, and I will never get them out of my head ever. I need a sequel where it is just them; I don’t play. God, they make me so sad. But I love them.

Going back to our main couple, I also loved taking things slow. It didn't really feel awkward; it lowkey felt just right, and I enjoyed that a lot, y'all have no idea. Just great with everything, including the love, because neither of us were quite ready for a relationship just yet, and we really need to grow as people before we grow together.

THE MOM. Okay, so I hate on San Francisco later in my review, but the fact that she died on Christmas and he spent so long trying to talk to her, and she was just dead. I don't know if I will ever be okay, because what the fuck. That was just so sad, and they brought that to life really well, so good job to them again (at the cost of my sanity this time).

Another thing I liked was, once again, the friend groups; they were so lovely to see, oh my god. Johan and Arthits' relationship was such a gift, and I love it. They are pretty similar and also not, but I just really enjoyed them on screen together even if they were arguing. Also, Arthit and North being close was also really cute (peak Bas with the middle part because I don’t play about him).

Moving on to things I didn’t like. WHY WERE WE ON SCOOBY DOO AH MANHUNT FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF EPISODES, YALL GONNA PISS ME OFF SILLY I SWEAR TO GOD.

SAN FRANCISCO, KEEP MY SECOND HOME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHHHHH. THERE IS NOWHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT; THE ENTIRE CITY IS ON TOP OF ITSELF. DON'T PISS ME OFFFFFF.

Regarding our love story, I think we did a good job at the start, and then when he asked him to be his boyfriend, it kind of felt like a middle finger to all the progress we were making, so that was kind of irritating. I just wished they spaced that out better.

On more stuff I didn't like, episode 14. If you have seen this, you know what happens here, and if you haven't, well, spoiler time...like always. There is a scene in this where Arhit comes onto Dao, and then Dao pushes him off after Dao kisses his neck and all that. And while he did apologize and they work through that, that was ultimately a dislike for me, because it felt kind of unnecessary in a way; I don't know, like he didn't NEED to come on to him. Just something about BL shows: they love their sexual assault. And well, I do acknowledge that this happens a lot in real life, and in that aspect it makes this a good representation; it felt very out of character for Arthit and along with that the storyline.

And then finally one short note on stuff I didn’t like: the final episode. Something about this season and their final episodes was just so lackluster and had me really disappointed. I feel like they set the standards so high and just wrecked them, like please can we lock in I BEG. But yeah, that’s kind of it for this one.

Episode overview time. Episode 10: "A week episode because we were on a scooby doo ah manhunt." Episode 11: "EVERYONE FUCKING AMERICAN HOLY SHIT ALSO CALI WAS WAY TOO CLOSE TO HOME, I DIDN'T LIKE THAT, ONE BIT." Episode 14: "Arhit is a Saint Bernard lowkey." Episode 15: "ONEY MAKES PEOPLE PISSEDDDD, HENCE WHY ARTHIT JUST GOT FUCKING DROPPED, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK? Johan hating on Arthit but will jump at the opportunity to save him, I love that.” Episode 16: “Why is the grandma's name golden shower? R. Kelly ah grandma.” “I hate to not be the woker, but I wish they fucked again. BECAUSE OAT AND THOSE SEXY EYES CAN GET ITTTTTT.”

I don’t know if they were my favorite couple or if the final one is my favorite, but they are pretty close. Overall, I actually enjoyed this, and it was lowkey really well done, so do check it out when you have the chance. Okay bye!
