Simple, cute and silly bl
If you like cozy, comfy bl's without to much drama this should be your thing!! Even better, both male leads are complete green flags and everything is about consent. I loved their relationship. Personally, one of my favourite genre's in Bl is a 'forgeiner' or a 'tourist' getting to know a small village. I love how Tongrak acted like the rich guy in the beginning and slowly started to change.AND THE LESBIANS, so cute, not a very good story but they do make the story so fun!

Masterpiece
Rewatched this again since I'm kinda organising my old reviews (you can view the old one at the end of this review). I wanted to write it again and just watch it again because I genuinely forgot what it was about. I slowly remembered the plot hahahah. I did forget most scene's though.First off all, Khai is even DUMBER than Adrien from Miraculous, Jesus Christ. I obviously get he wasn't thinking about anyone around him due to him dating so many girls. But like... ur best friend makes VIDEOS about movies involving having a crush on your best friend. Your friend kinda gives you.. way too much attention just to treat him like an asshole. The scene with the water in ep 1 stays iconic after all these years.
Just like in my old review, I really agree this is a super sad masterpiece. I just don't agree with old me calling it 'accepting yourself' because fucking Khai did accept his feelings quite after the realisation. Khai is not only stupid but also an idiot (HXW mentioned). Khai was fucking rage baiting me.
Third had all rights to be upset over Khai's actions. I love this type of angst and I think this is one of the best unrequired love situationships ever. Even if it's been 7 years (JESUS 7 YEARS SINCE 2019 IS INSANE) it is and stays a masterpiece that many unrequited love plots CANT reach. It would be amazing if there was a newer show based on this series. One thing about this series that they try to kinda make a plot but quite failed is the whole rule Khai has about "no dating friends" policy. It's not like this was often talked about or whatever.
I know it's 2019, and even if I was a teenager back then, it was a veryyy cringy way of asking someone out, even for those days. I fr loved everything but this. Also Third should've just taken revenge for this part and I expected third to make Khai jealous by flirting with another guy but eyyy I predicted it wrong.
Old reviews: This one is to real, the story is sad and I think it's an absolute masterpiece. This series portraits accepting yourself in a realistic way. It's sad, I cried my heart out, it's adorable, it's a sad mess. As a gay guy I feel like the show did a create job when it comes to reality, the jealousy, the fights and aside from that I loveee the main actors, OffGun.

So different than I expected and... I love it!!
So, I started watching this after seeing a few edits online and watching the trailer, I was afraid that the series would be to 'violent' or something like kinnporsch, but I'm actually really satisfied! This series definitely surprises me, I wasn't expecting the main couple (Keen and Than) to be soooo cute!I actually really like how cold Than in the beginning was.. and Keen irritated me. I just really disliked how Keen was acting the first few episodes going against what Than wanted and I liked that he finally got to that realisation after some time. Another small thing I disliked, is how fast they fell in love, I was anxious there was gonna be a lot of drama the last few episodes and when it comes to their relationship there wasn't!
Anyway's I really liked this show and I'm definitely gonna rewatch it!

Nothing bad but nothing impressive either.
I haven't really been watching or writing reviews for a few weeks but I'm back at it again!! I'm trying to complete my watchlist 2026 but my school is a b. Respectfully, I do not like K BL but do always end up secretly kinda enjoying it. Although I really enjoyed this series it did lack quite a lot. Everything was ok, just nothing impressive or mind blowing. The plot was adorable, but not special. Everything feels very average and I did expect a lot more. Comparing this to other Korean BL, the same reasons why I often dislike them is in this one again.I really adored the cute animations at the intro. The opening was in general super amazing and I love the creativity put into it. The director also made our dating sim, one of my friend her favourite BL and I will for sure watch it! The screenwriter doesn't seem to have another live action version of her webtoons. I actually read a lot of webtoons and I'm pretty sure I read this one a year or two ago. For me the main couple was so much more important than the side couple. To the point where I actually gave no fuck what the side couple did. Both their stories are average and you can kinda guess what way it'll go into. It's a bit sad it has such easy plots and also really surprising considering it's an adaption on a webtoon.
I lovedddd that Gi Seop got those hair extensions and did everything for Jin U. He basically started cross dressing a girl. Really reminded me of the song Andrew in drag. I also really dislike Hye Jin. She seemed so mean to Gi Seop but acted like an angel around Jin U. Actually, at first I really hated Jin U because the acting and personality reminded me of someone I do NOT like. Jin U ended up not reminding me of him and it was really just mz first impression of him. One of the problems I have with this series is the horrible introduction to the characters. I didn't understand what was going on in the first episode at all. It was like it jumped straight into the story. Maybe I was just tired.
I'm surprised I do not know any of the actors but I'm trying to get more familiar with Korean directors and actors. I hope Nam Shi A will get more roles since I noticed this was his first ever listed series. Immediately getting main lead is amazing though. He deserves more roles!! The rest of the actors also aren't in huge series/movies as main and I find that so sad because I really hope for more.
Overall this show was cute but it was nothing like mind blowing. It kinda felt like your casual BL but then with the slight cross dressing to impress crush (which I loved). I feel like it proves my point again about Korea making the simple BL when they have so much more potential. Since this comes of a webtoon it might've felt wayyy different in the webtoon and I have to admit, I didn't read the webtoon yet. I will for sure and hopefully I change my mind.

I wish my teddy bear turned into a human dammit
This is the opposite of what my first impression was. It's not at all childish, cringy or boring. Sometimes I see amazing series and I just get disappointed by the low amount of watchers. I had a lot of struggle with the characters on this one. My main irritation being Nut. I have almost never had a bl where I disliked one of the leads this much.Maybe this is just me but as a neurodivergent/autistic person I feel like I can related to Nueng a lot. Even though Nueng was a teddy bear he perceives things the same way as I do. Scanning everything one by one and associating them with each other. He often overanalysed ppl their behaviour as well and didn't really know how to react to certain information. Not saying he is autistic but I just see myself in him. What I hate about everyone around him is that they treat him as a therapy friend but end up forgetting his feelings. I don't necessarily hate Nut's mother but I don't like how she kept venting to Nueng all the damn time.
I cannot stand Nut. I can't remember a bl where I hated one of the leads in aside from only friends... Nut annoys me and even if his actions have a reason, I do not think his behaviour is ok. The first few episodes he was SOOO mean towards Nueng and his mother. Later when we found out his mom sided with his homophobic dad I still didn't think his actions deserved excuses. I feel bad for how he treated Nueng as well.. he bitterly slapped him and tried to report him to the police leaving him on the streets and I feel like he had 0 empathy for it either.
The relationship between Nueng and Nut is hella toxic. Nueng has no idea how he became a human nor how humans normally do stuff. He is already miss perceived as someone who lost his memory and used to be a normal human with a family. I just feel sooo bad for him because he really tried his best to be nice to Nut and he did everything including cooking etc just to be treated like SHIT. Also he obviously knew Nut already and my heart broke when Nut got so mad at him. What I also hated is how I finally thought their relationship was normal when it kinda turned out that Nueng was a replacement. I hate how Nut handled all of this and he couldn't even lie about not seeing Nueng as a replacement. You can SEE tofu/nueng loosing his spark and it makes me sooo sad.
My review is starting to sound like I dislike it, but that is far from true. Each episode is filled with situations and lore and it makes it fun, not confusing. I feel like this was amazing to binge watch and actually possible to binge watch without getting bored. The local aunties/uncs and grandpa's are amazing. I really love how they often comfort and give Nueng advice. The dates are also really cute, even if I don't like Nut and Nueng together. Can I admit actually preferring this ending over Nut and Nueng getting together? I think that Nueng would never be happy in a relationship with Nut. Especially not since Tatarn woke up. Him being turned into a teddy again made me so sad and I would feel so useless in their case. Also I don't understand why the creator never worked out Nut actually acknowledging that Nueng Is the teddy bear at the moment he was a human.
The production was okay but there was this weird blue and purple colour above their heads in certain shots. I don't know why it's there, might be lightning but it looks weird. I don't think this series is amazing cinema but it just looked a bit weird. I didn't know this series had the same writer as The eclipse aka Prapt. He's seriously talented!! Not sure what my opinions are on the director given this is my first ever series of his that I've watched.
This show is incredibly underrated and deserves more attention. It's great at rage baiting me and the rage I felt towards Nut has to be studied because it's crazy. I feel like the writing is amazing and the plot is original without cringy stuff. I would recommend to people who love angsts like me.

[contains spoilers of 'cause you're my boy obviously] I somehow am the only one writing a review on this page? The original ending of 'Cause you're my boy wasn't my favourite. I did love the series and I feel like it is one of my favourite series from Gmmtv before 2020 together with Sotus. What I disliked about the original ending was that it was a bit too simple compared to the rest of the episode. I loved how they got engaged though. But it got fucked up by an advertisement at the end and I get Gmmtv got sponsored but it kinda ruined the ending for me.
The quality difference is huge you can notice the better camera and the hair cut of Mork/Drake was growing out. And the school uniforms?? They really got older in this extra. I also like the detail that Morn and Gord have the uniform on of the school and it really shows Morn and Gord are younger than Mork and Tee. I'm not a huge fan of the plot where Mork is preparing all sorts of things for Tee. I would've preferred an episode where you can clearly see them being older and their future lives. I feel bad for Tee but Mork really didn't mean too. Also we still haven't gotten any Morn and Gord so now I'm questioning myself whether or not they even are a couple in the series.
Overall this special episode is really cute. I'm just not a big fan of the 'cheating' plot and it's a bit cringy. I would give it a 6.5. I really hoped on something that would continue their story.

It's mid and could've been shorter
A few years ago I read tong the webtoon. I'm gonna admit that I totally forgot what it even was about. To many people their surprise I actually really enjoy these type of series. Although I normally watch BL or Romance in general, it's rare for me to even start these type of series. But today, I wanted to watch something with fighting and more in it. Tong wasn't bad, but there is definitely room for improvement. The plot lacks but the fight scene's are good. When I was around episode 7-8 it got more and more boring.The thing I really like about this series are how well done the fight scene's are. It was enjoyable, although I did catch a few editing mistakes. I like how dopamine fed it is. But, the plot is just pure and only fighting. I wished we had more deeper moments and sometimes it became a bit overwhelming. It took me 3 episodes to really understand what was even going on, I had to read the description to understand it. I even rewatched the first episode... I was kinda confused on how to start with this series because I knew it was a sequel to the manhwa. It might confuse Manhwa readers but watching Tong:Memories before Dokgo rewind doesn't matter. It would be so nice if more parts of the manhwa series got a live action but if I'm honest, I don't think that'll ever happen.
For the acting, it's quite nice. This series acting reminded me a lot of Weak Hero. I actually wasn't familiar with the actors before so this is my first time seeing both Heo Ji Won and Lee Hak Woo as leads. One of the second things that made the series alright. When I first saw Myeong Hwa I was like "DAMNN". His hair is amazing, I love it. The girls in this series were badass as well. Like genuinely. Talking about women... this show lowkey had a few misogynistic moments, let's not lie. I understand it's all about men and I'm saying this as a male but... some moments just felt weird and direspectful. Maybe just different culture but I did not like it.
My main problem was how boring this show got the more I got into it. Everything until episode 7 was alright but after episode 7 it just felt like unnecessarily added episodes. What also made me more and more confused was the amount of random added characters. Like after watching a few episodes we do not need to keep getting more and more new characters. It would've been way nicer if they cut time by shortening the series. 7 or 8 is enough. Sorry but the last episodes were just bland and my whole motivation to finish this was BAD. The fights made up almost half of each episode too like...the fighting is what makes it good, sure.
I really enjoy the animations in this series. Like when the characters are introduced and the intro. Really well done. But we never got proper introductions of many characters. Also, the motivations are so unclear because the episodes are short and shit. I get the whole Tong thing but I just don't understand half of the time why they're fighting. There's more fights than actual talking it just pisses me off like where did that plot go?
I watched this on YouTube and had to find out if the music in ep 6 was the actual song originally used in the editing? Either way the very happy music while they seemed excited for the fight was crazy to me. How can they be soo excited to fight. episode 6 might be my fav ep so far. Even if I do have a bit of criticism, especially on the lack of plot and production, I do actually like it. I mean.. everyone has their own taste. My rating is still low and it'll probably stay this way. Mainly with the reason that it got extremely boring to me towards the ending. I somehow managed to finish it but if I'm honest, I did press that skip button during the fights a lot. Not recommended, but maybe you'll like it. This is purely based on my opinion.

When all the homies gay
This is gonna be one of my longest reviews ever lol, so prepare yourself if you actually wanna read it. I am a very long term GMMTV fan, since 2019, BUT, I have ever since We Are aired refused to watch it. And the only reason was my lack of motivation. But I am a huge Narawin so I kinda had to, since this is my last show left to watch with PPW. The fact I have consumed thousands of hours media of PPW, without watching this is kinda insane. I finally got over it and yeah, watched it. I honestly regret not watching this series earlier. It's sweet, adorable and it has this found family vibe, which I am a huge fan of.Beginning with PondPhuwin or PhumPeem, their chemistry is as always amazing. The enemies to lovers trope actually really suits them and I am begging gmmtv to give them another series with this trope. Even though I've been a Narawin for a long time, I still forget Pond had longer hair at some point. He just looks so much younger, not bc of his hair but also his features. What I keep noticing about Phuwin, he is always in a sort of way into art, in every single series I've watched. The way PPW kissed so many times before even dating bahhahaha. And they like "I'm hungry" yeah bro u hungry fr. Sometimes Peem really irritated me because he has this annoying complaining and mean personality. He has his reasons but I would never be friends with him honestly.
I was a bit too late when it comes to WinnySatang. I've seen their series but I just never really became a fan. But watching this after their pair break up kinda makes me sad. I know they're just a pair and not a real couple, but I do like them together as a pair. Honestly I am not a fan of QToey. I love Q as mental support but I think what Chain and Toey and the rest of the group planned was toxic as hell. Like they're making Q feel upset and even if it's by accident, I'm just not a fan of it. I understand it was testing but... no. I feel like Q and Peem are adorable together and they're such nice friends.
I am a hugeeeee AouBoom fan. I loved them so much in this series and I can't describe it. This series together with Only friends: dream on have to be my favourite AouBoom series. Gmmtv really mistreats them as a pair and I feel like they just have way more potential than gmmtv gives them. I am sooo excited for Billionaire Biker as well. I love how Tan is the biggest idiot ever and he makes every moment in We are feel fun. I love his stupid flirting. As for Khaofang, I love him because he feels like the MOST relatable character ever. My whole personality is the same as his. It's so funny because I genuinely understand how he feels in certain moments.
Okay then MarcPoon. Another broken pair but one that I never really got familiar with. I love Poon but if I am honest I have no idea about Marc. I think their chemistry was alrighttt in we are but I'm not a huge fan. Pun was funny as a character and he did make me laugh. As for Chain, I'm not sure why but he wasn't very outstanding. I feel like ChainPun were a very normal couple compared to the others and they also had less screen time. I said before that I don't like how Chain and Toey flirted with each other and I just felt bad for Q and Pun.
Title has to stop playing annoying roles. EVERY SINGLE TIME his face even appears on screen I know he's gonna be playing an annoying character who gets between a couple. Also please tell me why I felt this very strange chemistry going around Beer and Kluen?? The moment when Toey saw Kluen met was so funny. It was kinda how I saw PhumPeem in the series. Toey didn't seem to like Kluen trying to pull Peem. I love seeing Godji so much. When I see her I know a series is gonna be good. Her as an aunt was adorable and I know she was shipping Phum and Peem. I also really like how she was like the comfort adult in the series and everyone loved her. And seeing JJ in here is also amazing.
Even though I liked We Are, I am kinda getting tired of the whole friendship bl's lately. Although I think friendships are super cute and funny, they easily bore me. I am also turning older and it feels like I often watch things for 13-15 yr olds. And I am saying this as an 18 yr old. I feel like we are was for a younger audience even if it included NC but this is maybe just my own perspective. I also am a bit bored of the school drama's SPECIFICALLY those subject. It's always and I mean always engineering, art and then architecture.
The songs in We are are just amazing. It was so funny when Pun tried to sing but hit every wrong note. But jokes aside I am in LOVE with แค่ในวันนั้น (Truth in the Eyes). It's one of my favourite Thai songs. The lyrics is soooo sweet. It can't be more romantic than this. I'm not the biggest fan of เรามีเรา (WE ARE) but I LOVE the MV. It's adorable. We are delivered good songs but my fav has to be Truth in eyes.
Also Phuwin's and Winny's pulled back hair reminds me of me because my hair is getting too long to even see shit so I usually do it like his hahaha. Overall, this was amazing. I loved it. The whole series gives me this sort of weird nostalgia and the friendship is so adorable. Genuinely, where do I find my friend group full of gays?? I loved it, even if I was a bit bored by certain episodes.

My guilty pleasure
I know many people hated this show and I agree with their reasonings. But even if I hated Woo Hyeon, I couldn't help but enjoy this. I don't think this is a drama you'll enjoy for romance, given it's more drama than romance. .. I watched the trailer, thought it was cute, but then saw the reviews... nothing wrong with hating a drama at all. But I actually really enjoyed this. Although there were quite a few points I didn't like, I ended up possibly making this one of my favourites. Maybe I just really have bad taste after all.I am gonna be critical on this and be honest, my rating dropped extremely because of the use of AI. I rather have an intro made with the worst editing ever, like with 2000s Kdrama, than generated. I was really confused because in episode 4 there were non ai generated animations and it was really cute. Why not just stick with that? It's about a kid so even the worst drawings ever would fit.
So onto my biggest problem, and everyone else's problem, Woo Hyeon. She pissed me off. Not just pissing me, she pissed me off soooo bad that I hoped she wouldn't end up with Tae Hyeong. Not only did she abandon him many times and excluded him from a lot of activities, she also seemed to treat Yun Seong wayyyy beter. But one thing about me is that I love angst a lot. So adding my love for angst made this my guilty pleasure. I enjoyed it, but not for the romance. I think Tae Hyeong was a sweetheart and I loved him and U ju sooo much. I saw people hating on Tae Hyeong...?
Onto my hate towards Woo Hyeon. She dumped all of the responsibilities onto Tae Hyeong. He had to ask for a PARENTAL LEAVE because of her. I understand she had to work and be active at her job, but it just made me sad she didn't even communicated. The second thing she did that made me hate her is being incredibly self centred and forgetting about Tae Hyeong all the time. She was focussed on her dates with Yun Seong but in the meantime Tae Hyeong and U ju were waiting for her at home. I understand having a hard time choosing a person but seriously?? She gave 2 people signs at the same time and I do not like that.
But holy shit I feel so single right now, although I would never want to be stuck with a baby with Woo Hyeon. I loved Tae Hyeong sooo much. He was an absolute sweetheart and I feel so bad for him. His backstory made me cry and bro was YEARNING. zI hate Woo Hyeon with all my heart Tae Hyeong did not deserve to get treated like this. I think their cute moments at the end made me forget about the things Woo Hyeon did but looking back, no one will make me like you Hyeon.
Overall this was to my opinion really good. But this time, don't listen to me. I genuinely feel like the only one. But even if I loved this, don't watch it for the romance because it's bad. I really enjoyed this for angst. So if you're an angst boy (or girly) you might enjoy this. Now that I look back on watching it, it felt a bit like an ao3 story back in 2017.

Irritating FL and very fast paced
TW: mentions of su1cide in the movie.I normally don't care that much about the acting but rather the story and the making of it. But for this movie the issues issues really was the personality of the FL. Maybe my rating would've been higher if I liked the FL... This is not meant as attack towards Toey Jarinporn. Aside from my irritation on Mesa I do have to admit that this story was really cute, especially the moments between Ben and Mesa. I was afraid to start this movie. Anything that says Netflix makes me afraid. Maybe I should cut this crap and just accept that Netflix does make good/average stuff.
From the beginning on I shipped Mesa and Ben but Tul wasn't really in my mind. I knew Mesa had a different partner but it was really obvious something between them would happen. The break up was way too early for me to give a fuck and that also kinda ruined how I saw the movie. It was too rushed, to the point where I hadn't really had the time to build empathy for Mesa. I just preferred Ben, he's tuff.
Mesa really pissed me off. It was the overreactions and the slightly high classed/pick me conversations. Instead of thinking the actress is bad, I think this was meant to be. Actually her acting was amazing and I think it really was done with a reason. I don't remember the name of the characters, I think it was Min. But from Min's actions it was clear that she had the exact same idea about her as I do. I think the reason she was stuck in this loop also had to do with her ignoring her surroundings and being self centred. Even though I feel heavily irritated by her, I love the expressions she made. They reallyyyy reminded me of Cooheart. What I also found impressive and really nice is how Toey her English is understandable, which is rare given it's a Thai series.
I actually realllyyy liked Great Warintorn and idk why but something about him makes me blush like he's amazing. His smile makes me shy like bro what. Barely any actors do such a great job at giving me that reaction. I should definitely watch more of his series/movies. I've also seen Man Trisanu before in step by step and I really liked him as actor, he's amazing. I am a bit disappointed in his role as Tul but the story of Tul in general made 0 sense aside from him trying to break up with Mesa all the time.
As someone with French blood, I really love how this movie was shitting on us. I love how they included all sorts of tourists including Japanese and French. The French family being portrayed as loud and rude was so funny to me and I really don't mind. The kid was so annoying as well like omg I would've had such an urge to slap that kid if I was Mesa. I know Thailand has a lot of issues with tourists absolutely disrespecting rules and I'm just really happy they 'addressed' this.
The styling and colours are amazing. Somehow just every shot feels right. And Mesa's outfits??? Hello??? She is sooo beautiful. I have 2 other movies from Suea Yanyong on my list and I really do wanna watch them now. The poster absolutely fits what I was thinking about the show. I'm not usually interested in composers, however, it is super nice that they had Phil Chapavich compose. He did amazing work in the Next prince.
Another small thing I disliked was the ending made. It no sense to me I'm so sorry. I get who she ended up with etc but I feel like it was overall rushed and just confusing. I have to admit that I personally am not the biggest fan of movies because I feel like series give a more in depth feeling of the story. This is my first time making such a long review on a movie and I wouldn't call it necessarily good. I'm not sure what to think. I'm a big fan of the production but less on the story. I would say it's quite mid.

90% of this movie had 0 voice yet it made sense.
This is by far one of the sweetest movies I have seen in my entire life. If you like an adorable story with just 2 big green flags, I really suggest this movie. I have to admit that I did not yet watch the original story but after watching this movie I will definitely do so. I am extremely surprised by how much I liked it and actually didn't expect much. This was stunning, the shots were amazing and it didn't feel slow. I am a huge fan of Hong Kyung and I did not expect less, but I also wasn't prepared for this much. This show gave me extreme comfort. People mention it not being anything different than the other version, I cannot speak about that since I have not seen the Taiwan version like I mentioned before.I love seeing Hong Kyung play as Yong Jun, his acting in both Weak hero and D.P was amazing (I didn't like O Beom Seok but that's about the character and not the actors himself). I think his innocent face, which he actually won a reward for, made it 10000 times beter. Also, I am not much of a kpop Stan anymore but I was extremely surprised that Kim Min Ju played in this!! I used to really like IZ*ONE so that was a surprise to me. Both Min Ju and Yoon Seo really look like siblings and I love it when they do that in dramas. I don't even look alike my brother but still. Yeo Reum seems like a really nice and sweet girl and I totally get why Yong Jun would fall for her.
I might get cancelled for this but I am extremely happy that this movie was made especially in a country where having a disability is seen as something weird. What I loved even more was their actual showcase of that. There's just a big acceptance problem and a lot of shows ignore that. This show got me thinking to learn sign language. I think it's a very useful language to be able to at least understand the basics of. What I also loved about this movie is that some actors are actually fluent in sign language and most learned it, like O Ji Yeong being fluent in it and I just can't help but feels so glad that Hong Kyung actually learned sign language for this role. Roh Yoon Seo also learned it and mentioned practising in front of a mirror. Kim Min Ju actually practised swimming lessons and sign language aswell. I am just extremely surprised about the time and effort they took in making it look as realistic as possible. I've never seen any other drama that Cho Sun Ho directed but this was amazing and I hope he gets the opportunity to make something amazing again.
Actually I guessed a scene in the movie from very early beginning. I just had this weird feeling that Yeo Reum wasn't actually deaf. The miscommunication and the random plot twist was kind of expected but I still thought it was adorable. Anyways, I really enjoyed this movie and it is currently one of my favourite movies. Definitely a big recommend and I can't believe how underrated this is.

This was adorableee.
I normally don't watch GL but I am overall a big watcher and for 2026 I wanted to at least watch more of it. In general I feel like it is often too slow for my liking and it feels like it's always the same theme. But that said, I reallllyyyy enjoyed The Earth and I'm gonna watch each of the elements. I liked it mainly because it was fast and had quite an original plot.At first I was a bit hesitant watching it because it was yet another gl with an arranged marriage and it feels like companies can't get tired of using this. It really annoys me because it's been only time that I watched something where they didn't get arranged. But after the 3th episode it was really the opposite. I love how Din and Rose got married to make sure Rose and Wasu didn't have to. My main reason for keeping up with this is because of the theme around the country side. I LOVE country side series. No matter the country. I used to live on the country side and it's just the community that makes it worth it. and that's also why I loved this series. I just really love the countryside theme a lot and it makes me genuinely so happy they made use of it. I guess it's called earth because of the farm/country side?
At first I found it a bit boring because it was going extremely slow. Don't get me wrong, I love slow burn but they clearly liked each other from the first episode already. Like I mentioned before, I was convinced there was an actual arranged marriage but I love Lom's idea. Then about the human trafficking, I thought this was about Laos first but then I realised it was actually just about Vasupol. This whole plot was just confusing at first but that makes sense since Din and Rose also didn't know much about it. I also feel like Teepakorn is a really great guy for trying to solve the problems, just sad he ended up like that in the hospital... I thought he actually died but I was wrong.
At first I thought Wasu might be a nice guy but after a few episodes I realised he is just a spoiled kid. I thought Wasu might've been against the arranged marriage aswell but at the point where Din and Wasu held guns to each other, I was like "wait a damn minute, Wasu is actually a very big red flag and clearly brainwashed by his father. I have to admit that I do feel bad for how Wasu was treated back in the days. Wasu just wanted to do fun things with the girls but Din always corrected his behaviour. I'm not saying Din was wrong for it, but it does add up.
Anyways when Wasu talked about a secret spy idk why but I lowkey suspected Motdaeng at first. I probably wasn't the only one who thought this. But then when it turned out Kaew was it, I was like WHAT. I did not see that coming at all. Honestly the last 3 episodes were really rushed and the fire wasn't necessary and then suddenly Din being shot etc, makes no sense. It feels like a lot of it was to solve the argument and it feels kinda unnecessary. Although I do think the secret spy plot was quite fun.
I love the masc vibe Din gives off. Idk it's just super tuff. Din's crush was sooo obvious even the mom noticed like straight away and I love how her whole family ships them and even spoil it to Rose. They both seemed to take that fake honeymoon quite serious though bahhaha. So cute. I also love them using the excuse 'we need to pretend we're really wives' to do certain things and I love how Rose also used it when she was jealous.
I can't believe this is the first drama of Mim Panthita ever. She is such a good actor and I can't wait to see more of her and Apple. Someone said she gives of Kdrama ish vibes and I 100% agree. As for Apple, I'm lowkey surprised how many shows she has been in that I have seen. She mostly played guest role is those though. Cooking crush, Rearrange, I'm tee me too and she's in U prince?? Ugh she is so talented but I never looked into her.
The ending was adorable and I really recommend this gl!! Even if it was rushed towards the ending the romance was extremely cute and this is just one and only green flags (Din and Rose not some of the supporting cast of course).

This is the most toxic series I have EVER seen.
Show so toxic and bad it lowkey got me hooked. I'm not gonna lie, when I first saw all the hate comments I was taken back from watching it. I was very hesitant about watching this series due to it. The first episode is horrible, bad but after episode 4 it got meee. And yes, this is the most toxic show I've ever watched and I mean it. The description seemed extremely complicated but I had high hopes for this series. It never mentioned how toxic it was though hahaha. I defiantly wasn't prepared for that. I always have the mindset to just watch it before complaining even if the reviews are bad.The first episode was so bad it almost got me quitting and dropping this series completely but I'm happy I didn't. I was really confused at first. First episode was an absolute mess.. I didn't know who played what and the introduction was messy aswell. Normally you get to know the characters in the first episode but here they just straight up go to the plot. I have to say I was enjoying it even if it wasn't... amazing. I was hella distracted and it bored me. What irritated me the most is that every 5 minutes a new character was introduced. After the whole first episode the first thing that came to my mind was "wtf was this about again?" I was really about to drop it but decided to watch at least 4/5 episodes. The fact Fahlan and Sherbet barely had any screen time in this episode is crazy even though they're the main characters.
I think around episode 4 that it started clicking. The plot was kinda repeating itself but that's actually what made me like it. It was just the whole time like: sweet love moment > someone has a crush on Fahlan > Sherbet is jealous, causes a new fights and says they're just friends > they make up but Fahlan is the one who fixes it. I love their relationship struggles because each time they keep on growing closer and it just makes it feel more natural. I have to say, I love how self aware SOME of the characters are. The character development is amazing and their growth as well.
I don't like Sherbet at all, he pisses me off. IDGAF that Sher has any trauma from his dad divorcing he is a red fag period, I love him being a red flag because it really made some extra tension and growth. I don't understand what is going on in his head at all, but the scene's really make you show his side as well. I get so bad for Fahlan who had to keep calling him or chasing him to get him back. I'm not gonna lie, after 3 times this would never be very realistic. Sher was pretty manipulative aswell.
Hot take: I saw people having reviews mentioning the bad kisses. Are you watching this pure for the NC? I feel like this show has way too many NC and I feel like half of the bad reviews are coming because of this. NC doesn't have to be 'good' to give the suggestion they did something. Pink was pissing me off with her annoying quotes in the beginning of the episodes. Not only that but her obsession over 2 guys feels like a fetish and I DONT like it. I just can't understand it when series add a role like hers. Fujoshi's aren't weird to me at all but when their whole personality is liking bl and
I love this and you don't have to but please give it a chance. I think there are to many people hating and lowkey... this is good.

This was nicer than expected
The older I get, the more I realise how bad the quality of 2020 Thai drama's actually was. Honestly, when we compare this series to other Thai series this was really not that bad. My main irritation is the colour grading and it actually quite improved through the show. At some point towards the ending I barely cared about it. Production aside, I'll try to make my review mainly about the storyline because this didn't bother me that badly. I have to say this series has amazing couples, even the side couples are good and enjoyable. It kinda felt like they were main characters to, aside from Solo and Gui.Production wise this could've been way better. The editing is really weird and I don't like the 'Kdrama' styled slowed moments. The cutting in the first few episodes is REALLY weird. If you're someone who also notices these things or cares about the editing I do not necessarily suggest to watch this series. But I can't blame them, this was 2020 after all. It's crazy how you can just see the year. I like to watch older things, so I don't mind too much. There's a few things that will probably be considered cringe nowadays, like the random ass guitar. Sometimes it just randomly appears. The music is also giving 2020 Thai Drama.
Starting of with Solo and Guitar/Gui. I really like Gui's name, just have to say that. They are extremely cute together and the high difference is killing me in some shots. I feel like Gui's backstory really lacks and although he did have some flashbacks, I still didn't feel much. I understand growing up in an orphanage is bad but it just didn't hit well. When I first saw Solo I thought he was a poor and depressed guy, but that wasn't true apparently. Actually, I just felt bad for him the whole show. His dad, the reaction his classmates had about him and even more. Am I the only one or did Gui have like zero moments showing he was in school? Like only at the last 3 episodes it even shows he studied Engineering. Same for Solo, he barely had moments about his study. How come at the last episode Solo was suddenly not at school anymore while it started with him being a Freshman? Maybe this is something that I just didn't see but he wasn't done yet right?
Gui and Solo has insane visuals and they had a LOT of chemistry. I knew Nut Supanut from other shows but Petch Chnapoom? I had never seen him before. They would've been a great pair but I don't mind them not being a pair. If I'm honest I didn't notice it was Nut playing as Solo until I looked at the casting and it made a lot of sense why I felt like I recognised him. Nut is a great actor and I hope to see more of Petch, as in Petch in solo projects. Petch was quite good in acting this series so I look forward to seeing more.
The dad of Solo irritated me so much. Like wdym it's not a big problem that Solo wants to be with Gui but Gui has to do all kinds of shit while Linda can easily be like "Let's marry next month" and get Solo. I really hate Linda, she acts jealous of the actual partner of her fiancé while she never was in a romantic relationship with Solo. She was so unnecessary dramatic. Like your fiancé already has someone else go find someone yourself girl. This whole part made me so emotional and I really felt bad for Solo. Like boy please eat? His dad fucking sucks for 'not caring'
Now one of the only side characters that I really didn't like... I don't mind Fujoshi's at all and honestly it's the same as consuming a lot of straight media. But this girl, Khim really pissed me off. It started to feel like straight up fetishising and as a gay man I just felt disgusted and weirded out by her. Where did she even get the idea from to obsess so much with other people their problems and romance lives? Anyhow, Dr Petch was really cute with Dr Perth BUT I actually hoped they didn't end up together. Mainly because Dr Petch was forced in this all and I don't like how Khim forced his sexuality. This is just something that PISSED ME OFF. AND I MEAN IT. Khim was really cute and she seemed like a genuine girl but her obsession over MLM was CRAZY. She and Dr Petch had amazing chemistry but it still weirded me out how Dr Petch got crush on her. Like she forces you to be gay yet you still like her? Hello? I also couldn't help but feel bad about Dr Perth and Khem and their feelings because they were basically 'test' subjects.
Kao and Phuri had a very slow romance and I never expected them to even share a kiss or hold hands during this show. At first it seemed like Phuri didn't even have feelings for Kao and I really suspected him being straight with the lack of interest. The interest from Kao however felt way to quick and excuse me but that was like falling in love at first sight. Not sure what I think of them aside from lacking romance. I normally like grumpy lead but this... it was maybe a bit too grumpy to my liking.
One thing about me and watching series is that I really tent to care about the ost. Sometimes even my reviews higher because of the ost's. This ost and just every single song in the show lowkey sucked. Not only was the lyrics like super cringe but it was just bad. When Solo had to sing his voice switched and it made me laugh so bad like hello? Nut can sing extremely well but My Oxygen was just a bad song. Also, if you don't understand Thai, the moments he sung it for Gui make no sense. Sure there was subtitles but the love song itself won't hit amazing. It's also just... cringe asf.
Anyways, I do like this series and some couples are adorable, some aren't. I suggest watching it and forming your own opinion of course but do keep in mind this is 2020. There is some stuff you'll have to bite through.

Not much more to say than ok.
I fell in love with TutorYim in 2022 when Cutie Pie was airing and I didn't really feel like watching this while it was airing and saved it for later so here I am. I was so scared when I opened it and saw copy a Bangkok.... For people who don't know, copy a Bangkok often has extreme NC and sometimes no plot and just straight up p/rn. I hate that. It ruins many shows.Like Playboyy and Peach Lover tried to have a plot but... yeah. Honestly, I was immediately scared. Should I have been scared? Idk..I normally like these type of drama's and one specific romance genre like starting a small shop or just in general a business. It starts messy but that's nice. The whole ex thing was done quite well but it was a little too early in the series to actually feel along, this is something I normally have and I'm not changing my rating on this. The whole business was a big mess. It seemed like the bar was far from ready to open and then all of the sudden everything was done while it felt like they never really worked on it.
About the NC, I'm not a big fan. Honestly, no hate to TutorYim but if they really wanted to add this much NC they should've used a different pair. TutorYim's boundaries seem to not like too much explicit content and I can 100% get that. But the NC felt like it was lacking. I don't watch series for the NC but this just caught me off guard. They keep talking and teasing each other about it but the actual thing is 1 kiss and then quickly a jump in the future. Some scene's didn't even feel like they did something because the skip was SO fast.
I hate to say it but there is too much romance. Like 0 drama and everything between Intha and Oeng seems to be going extremely well. I love how healthy they are but at some point it started to just bore me. It felt like that fire was added to make it a bit less boring but there was no fire damage at all and it was fixed immediate?? Also, the ex only came back like 6 times and even that wasn't serious.
Yim plays a characters I've not seen him previously do. He seems way more masculine and less 'shy' or his usual 'innocent' role. Holy shit I liked that extremely. Also I never noticed he has quite some muscle, it looks so good on him. I really hope he will get a similar role in the future. As for Tutor, he kinda had the same role as before. I was soooo surprised that they added Buddhism again and I'm so happy about it!! It really reminded me of cutie pie and it just made me happy.
Domundi is fucking peak lately and they just keep releasing more and more good series, to the point where everything is just better and I need to be honest, I switched from being a Gmmtv fan boy to a Domundi boy. The DWY refrences AND khemjira?! Yes this made me sooo happy. I loved seeing master Peem again and can't wait until the Khemjira special episodes. Do I suggest watching it? Meh. It just really has to be your type of series. I do see people hate on this more than I expected.
