I'm confused. This feels and looks like a BL series. In the very first trailer, Home had a girlfriend. I thought both boys would have a love interest in this series, but nope.
Then they are teasing us with the "playing hard to get" and "get back together" and "I called him hundred times before" etc.
I have seen TayNew play the couple often enough, I'm not that thirsty, but I'm really confused. Their chemistry is very special, we all know it. What are they planning to do?
Btw, New's acting is great in this series.

How can you compare those two dramas? Because the actors are the same? The genre is completely different. It's like you compare Theory of Love with Not Me.

He tricked him and gave him hope. SPOILER: We later discover Jack is in high debt, because of the failed business of his parents. There is no chance he can pay it back, so he promised the Boss to work for him. Something like that.
Joker gave him hope, and he is mad, because of that.
Think about that whatever you want. But that's the plot.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will try it out :)

But it works. I myself complained about Joker not being a brilliant thief but rather a con man with a low success rate. But the success rate isn't so low. They get things done :)

The bad editing (too long, too short, strange cuts, no cuts) and the not-so-smooth transition between scenes which causes issues with the storytelling is the most apparent flaw of this series.
But Thai BLs tend to be like this for whatever reason.

It won't go above 9. That never happened before. 8,8 for a BL drama is already insane. Without even checking, I'm almost 100% sur this is the highest rated BL drama on MDL.

I remember many years ago, when I contributed gay stories to a book collection, where the money went to an association that supported queer people. At that time, I was in contact with many "supporters" of the gay community. Those people loved (male) gay content, read (male) gay porn on a regular basis, but were grossed out by lesbians kissing. So were they really supportive of the gay community, or were they just enjoying their fetish? It goes in the other direction too. If you enjoy cute boys playing gay, but you prefer not seeing them being intimate - what does that even mean? People should ask themselves this question. But you get accused very fast of being only interested in sex scenes and being a pervert, as if they stand on moral high ground, since they enjoy a pure (completely unrealistic) gay love. Someone said the cover looks like two altar boys. Made me laugh. Spot on. Don't get me wrong, this series would have worked perfectly if they made it shorter. A short movie for example with an open end. Would have been great. I have seen a lot of such movies or series, where the gay story wasn't even the main plot. But such a long ass series where nothing happens? And people worship it so much like it's the second coming of Jesus? Strange.

But isn't that problematic? They want to see cute boys, but don't want them to be too gay? No wonder there is the accusation of being homophobic going around.

This is nothing compared to On1y One. I think someone should study the cult following. I have never seen something like this before on MDL. They worship this series.

Humor is a tricky thing, because it doesn't resonate with everyone the same. What some people find funny, others don't find funny at all.
I enjoy the humor. It's pretty unique. It reminded me of something I watched decades ago. Then someone mentioned it's like the slapstick humor in old 60s and 70s Batman series. Bingo! That was it. It's pretty fun.

I watched Happy of the End up to episode 6. Cannot bring myself to finish it. I don't know. Something hold me back.

Jack couldn't become a national athlete, because a richer guy got the position. The coach didn't prevent it, he didn't stand up for Jack. Something like that. I don't really remember it clearly either.

Where is the uncut version? I can't watch this on official site. Not available in my region.

You're very sensitive. Nobody said something bad to you.
Btw I agree, that the editing is the biggest issue in this series. I have no idea how editing works, but I would make many scenes shorter or cut them out completely, the transition should be quicker, snappier. They show scenes from different angles, which feels repetitive (and I'm not talking about the scenes where this is done for comedic purpose or the enhancement of a scene). They could shorten those episodes to an hour without losing any valuable content. But well, it is, what it is.

I wouldn't say it's rom-com. This is an action series with comedy and romance. Every scene between the main couple was tense until now, I mean, there is not much romantic comedy going on. The clumsy gangsters are providing the most comedy.

What career? What do you want to do?

People complained early about Hope not being a good actor. I didn't really pay attention, but in this episode when he was with his boyfriend ... ugh. Zero chemistry. Zero charisma. I hope they don't give those two too much screen time. I don't care about their romance.

Honestly, there is such a strange contrast going on between the "poor people" and the "rich people". Not only the girl, also her father, did a good job. Tattoos mother does a good job. The actress, who played Jack's mother, doesn't have a perfect body, and you could see the bra through her shirt. No supermodel here. So many minor character act well and fit the role, then you have Aran, Boss, Hope, and his boyfriend, who don't fit into this world. Not because they don't belong there, but because their acting is so stiff and staged. No charisma. None.
Still loving the series, just saying.

No one talking about how that little girl is a better actress than 90% of the cast?
Jack, Joker, Tattoo, grandma, and little girl are the only ones who can act.
Where did they find that cutie?
No bitching here, but I don't get why older actors are always so bad like the Boss. Aran, his crew, and Hope aren't great either. Maybe don't cast for looks?
