The kind of show you should not take seriously.

This series is the definition of the word "random."

Honestly, after watching episode one I had intended to stop because I felt like I didn't connect with it; HOWEVER, I decided to watch episode two out of sheer boredom and OH MY GOODNESS HOW MUCH I ENJOYED IT! That entire washing machine montage was gold and got me completely hooked.

Putting all the randomness aside, the story was very simple and it does have some plot holes that I assume happened because of how short the season is. Even so, it was still understandable and touched a beautiful topic that's popular in today's society: people's connections with each other. It is a light-hearted comedy that shows you that even people who are complete opposites of each other can actually create a special bond... and you don't even have to realize it! The best part of this series that separates it from all the Thai BLs I've watched is the fact that you don't have to take it too seriously. This is the kind of show that you can just sit back, laugh and have a good time.

Let me give a round of applause to the actors because they DESERVE IT. It was refreshing to have a series were ALL the characters had unique personalities with unique traits that distinguished them from each other, but also that connected them as well. Not gonna lie, it is getting a little tiring to watch dramas lately due to the lack of uniqueness in their characters' personalities, but that's not the case here. All actors brought something new to the table that made you sympathize and grow fond of them. It made me happy to see how they all were totally fine by living with people that were polar opposites. It was like "nothing weird here, that's just how we are!"

There was one thing that threw me off sometimes, though. The script felt... strange, to say the least. Maybe it was a barrier in the translation, but sometimes the script got me thinking "what are you talking about?" It did feel a little all over the place and it definitely needed some extra tweaking, but luckily it wasn't a problem I saw often.

All in all, YYY was an enjoyable series that I would recommend to anyone looking for something they can just have a good laugh with. Enjoy the life of some fun weirdos coexisting in the same building!
