DO NOT COME EXPECTING FOR A PERFECT PLOT
this series is really good. i really enjoy it and i was obsessed with it for weeks (tbh idk if it is bc i like nanon but again i am not obsessed with all nanon show so i think it is definitely the charm of the series). anyway dont come for this series expecting great plot, no, bc this is character driven instead of plot driven. idk if ppl will enjoy it if you bingewatch (bc there are a lot of fluff scenes so some might find it repetitive and cringe i guess (too much sweetness) but since i watch it ongoing i love it lol). the rating is obviously biased bc this story is not perfect but i rated it high for all the feels this show managed to deliver to me and that is on patpran strongest and healthiest relationship.i personally really love the first 4 ep, it made me feel things and genuinely made me feel happy and i love how the conversation flows between them it is just very natural and i dont feel cringe at all. patpran is officially my top 1 bl couple they are just very enjoyable to watch and i love how they stay with their character till the end. the show start with them always bickering and also end with them bickering but with love. some ppl said after ep5 they look like two bros flirting with each other, well idk sometimes i perceive it that way but they are cute together so i love that part of them that are equally competitive and just doing dumb things with each other. they are both dumb yes pran included.
acting? now this is what made this show different from most thai bl i watched bc both main leads are really good actor. im gonna be honest, the story is cliche and the directing is sometimes questionable making me not fully be able to enjoy it so if this are not played by ohmnanon then the series will not be as enjoyable imo.
now let's move to the bad parts of the series?
again, the series is not perfect. i have 2/3 ep that i genuinely dont like and sometimes i had a problem with the editing and some plot. people might not like how simple the issue is resolved after the series building it or making a big deal out of it for almost 8/10 ep but i personally love it. would i prefer if it is more intense? yes but i also love how simple everything is. it is like a depiction of real life where we are very afraid of smth but when the real thing actually came, it is actually not that bad and that is how i intepret it with the friends and parents situation.
//////S P O I L E R//////
i know some people wish the parents conflict to be solved more clearly but i love it. i love how they show the parents are just flawed people, they are not a total villain they are just simply human who made mistakes and their slow acceptance towards the end of the show just made sense bc humans are like that. people might not be satisfied bc all those buildup are for what if in the end the parents never try to separate them? but how would patpran know in the first place? yall might question why must they fake a breakup? well their parents will definitely not ready to accept the relationship at first but throughout the years maybe they realised their sons never fully breakup and slowly try to accept the relationship.

overrated?
watched this back in early 2020 simply because i was feeling bored and i want to start new drama. i saw this drama has just finished airing, i watch this with zero expectation i was just simply passing time with new drama. into ep1, i cringe so hard at the office scene and thought this will be another drama that use cringe humour until the scene where huang yuxuan thought wang quan sheng was cheating on her only till discover smth else, i cried, got goosebump and immediately intrigued. the drama then keep on getting interesting and i keep on predicting but there is always a twist.all in all i love this drama. it immediately became my most favourite taiwanese drama and this was back when the drama wasnt receiving much hype yet so to ppl that say it is overrated, it is not. it is just not to your liking. the ost is so good and made the story much more beautiful. the drama do have some flaws but nevertheless i love it, a lot
