I've generally found the MDL scores of dramas a reasonable indication of the quality of each drama. But the score here is a joke. This is a very well written and very well acted drama. It is easily in the top 10% of KDramas I've ever watched. Clearly, some morality police didn't like the title, and scored it low without watching it. If the plot summary remotely interests you, start watching it and then decide if it is for you or not. Avoiding this drama because of the score it has here would be a mistake.

Overall, I really enjoyed this drama, even though some parts of it were a little bit silly. I didn't find the ending very satisfactory. It's like the writers didn't want to wrap up the show. 8½/10.

Title 23.5
It was a fun show and an easy watch, but its a level below "Blank" in terms of quality in my opinion.
So rather than acknowledge that your accusations were factually wrong (which would have been the honest and mature thing to do), you chose rather to rather just spew out a vague accusation against fans of the show. What exactly do you mean that "15 is OK" for Blank fans. I'm a Blank fan, so please enlighten me what I think 15 is OK for. You also made the demonstrably false claim that the ENTIRE lesbian community has boycotted this series. Are you really this clueless? Look at the viewership numbers. Look at the comments on the various platforms and forums. You're delusional if you think that is even close to being true.
Also, I'm still waiting for you to explain to me how you're so familar with the story line, the quality of the production and the drama's audio quality if you've never watched the drama. I have to admit that I don't think you're a very honest person. God bless yall.

Title Go Go Squid!
I WAS really enjoying this drama and even though Han Shang Yan was always a bit of an inconsiderate jerk and a bully, I was able tolerate him because I was expecting him to grow up and act like an actual human later in the drama. But about half way through the drama, he became worse. He gas-lighted Tong Nian and was unnecessarily cruel towards her. Sadly, Tong Nian is a door mat so she just tolerates and accepts all of this mistreatment, which doesn't really send a great message to female viewers.
I see the top two reviews says things like, "Adorable Couple" and "everything is perfect". I guess people like different things, but for me, toxic, bullying, selfish, cruel, gas-lighting behaviour is neither adorable or pefect. But each to their own I guess.
I dropped this drama mid way through episode 26.

Title Go Go Squid! Spoiler
he does. you will have to be patient till Han Shanhgyan becomes more human.
I'm watching episode 22 now, and he's ghosting his girlfriend completley. This is worse than him being sexist and condescending towards her. I'm wondering if he's 30 years old or 13 years old.
And in episode 23, he's acting like a total jerk towards her, unnecessarily and cruelly hurting her. He's just a gaslighting, bully. This SHOULD be enough for any self-respecting woman to tell him to go f_ck himself and permanently end the relationship. But a doormat that doesn't respect herself won't do that. If his mistreatment of Tong Nian continues much longer, I'm going to drop this drama - I just don't enjoy watching men mistreating women.
After such a promising start to the drama, I've found I just can't tolerate Han Shang Yan's toxic behaviour and Tong Nian's doormat personality any more. So, I'm going to drop this one and try something else.

should i start my mister after this for same vibe?any recommendation will be helpful
"My Mister" is the best drama I've ever watched. You definitely need to give it a watch. I also agree with the suggestion from lemonade for "Lost"

Almost half way through the drama, and I'm really enjoying it. I will say however that Han Shang Yan has the EQ of a rock and is sexist and condescending towards Tong Nian at times. Fortunately for him, Tong Nian goes into door mat mode when he behaves like that, so he gets away with it (must be an Asian thing). I'm hoping he experiences some character growth and starts to treat Tong Nian with some more respect.

I dropped Something in the Rain because I simply didn't enjoy watching Yoon Jin Ah getting abused and mistreated continuously. When I learned that the drama had been remade, I thought I'd give it a watch. The Chinese version is definitely much less toxic/angsty than the original and I quite enjoyed it, although I found it started to drag in the final episodes. 8/10 from me.

Which is one of the reasons why lately I've been watching more Chinese dramas than Korean ones.

Title 23.5

It doesn't really help - at least not your accusation that the novel "Blank" contains pedophilia. It is true that 20 is the age at which a person in Thailand gains the "age of majority", and is therefore legally responsible as an adult (unless they are married which they can do from age 17). Although the phrase "legal age" usually refers to the age of consent - which in Thailand is 15. So in Thailand, anyone aged 14 or younger is considered a "child" with respect to sexual activity. If Anueng in "Blank" was 14, you would be correct and I'd be supporting you.

By your logic, Nueng is a pedophile for dating a 19 year old in Thailand, but if they got married in Thailand, or took one step over the southern border into Malaysia, then Nueng magically stops being a pedophile. If you think someone being a pedophile depends on their geographical location or marital status, then I don't think you have a correct understanding of the word.

So, you don't like the plot. Fine - there's no rule that says every person must like the plot of every drama. But when you make false, and potentially liable assertions, I'm going to push back. There is no pedophila in the original book - NONE. Either you are ignorant or you are flat out lying (have you even read the book?). When Nueng and Anueng commence their relationship in the book, Nueng is 19 years old. If you think that a 19 year old ADULT in a relationship with another ADULT is pedophilia, then you are seriously twisted. I also find it curious that you are so opposed to the drama, but somehow you are also very familar with the quality of the production and the sound. Are you sure you're not peeking at it while no one is watching, or have you used your psychic powers to ascertain the production quality of a drama you definitely haven't watched?

The plot is independent of the quality of the production. You personally not liking the plot in a drama says nothing about the objective quality of that drama. "Blank" is easily the best Thai GL yet produced, with an interesting plot (even if you don't like it), quality cinematography and by far the best acting in a Thai GL to date.

Title 23.5
A cute, fluffy high school romance drama that doesn't take itself too seriously. The acting, especially from the leads was quite good and the cinematography was adequate. Some of the side stories could have been trimmed to make time for the main couples' stories a have more depth. Overall it was a bit sillier and more slapstick than I would have preferred, but is was still an enjoyable watch.

GL content is still very much in its infancy, so I'm personally happy that these Thai studios are giving us content, even if it isn't always brilliant. I'll keep watching it and supporting it, hoping and expecting for the quality to improve in the future.

Ikr I don't even understand why some people hated him
Probably because he was selfish and pushy and his behaviour towards Charoen was borderline sexual harassment.
