I'm really proud of every member of LYKN. Even though I'm not their fan, I've known them since their debut, but I never thought I would become interested in stanning them. After this, I think I'll definitely give Thai pop music a chance.
And Est's performance was absolutely outstanding. I honestly can't even describe how good he was. The directing, the plot, everything was perfect!!!!
However, I would have preferred it if they hadn't neglected Po's past. I wanted them to explore his relationship with his ex more deeply and give them a few conversations together. I think that would have added a really interesting layer to the story.
And I really want to mention how brilliant the acting was. They didn't exaggerate the emotions or make the characters feel artificially dramatic, but they also didn't underplay them to the point where it felt like they were just reading lines. Everything felt natural and balanced. Overall, everything was excellent.

Yi Chen was toxic as well
First of all, I would like to apologize to my 15-year-old self for reading the novel and watching the movie back in 2018. 😭😭🙏🙏Even though I already knew all the entire story beforehand, I genuinely enjoyed the psychological suffering while watching it.
Although the acting in the movie was indeed good, the actors in the drama truly outdid themselves. Their performances were outstanding.
While I won't deny that Lu Feng's character was genuinely toxic and extremely toxic at times, I would also like to point out that Yi Chen was equally toxic.
On many occasions, he avoided explaining his situation to Lu Feng despite knowing that Lu Feng was an impulsive, hot-tempered, and emotionally unstable person. Even though he knew exactly how Luo Fang would react, he still chose to stay silent.
What frustrated me the most was that Yi Chen always seemed to choose other people over Lu Feng. Meanwhile, Lu Feng literally chose Yi Chen over everyone else. He gave up his name, his family, and his inheritance. He turned his back on his father, who was on the verge of death, and on his sister, who loved him dearly.
But for what?
In the end, Yi Chen would always choose others first. What bothered me even more was that he chose others over himself as well. Because if he had chosen himself even once, he would have chosen to stay with Lu Feng. 💔😭
This does not excuse the many unforgivable things that Lu Feng did to Yi Chen. However, what makes the story so tragic is that I actually witnessed Lu Feng's transformation from a genuinely kind person and an almost perfect boyfriend a complete green flag who stood by his partner through every hardship and was never afraid to be proud of his love into a black flag who literally became a kidnapper and a r@pist.
Watching that downfall was heartbreaking because he wasn't introduced as a bad person from the start. He gradually turned into someone completely different, consumed by his obsession, jealousy, and desperation.

Is Jerome really ok ?
I just finished watching this series, and I can't stop thinking that the story wasn't really fair to Jerome. In the end, he's the only one who will remain traumatized by the past, carrying all those memories, feelings of loss, and regrets, while everyone else gets to move on with their lives normally. I just can't get that idea out of my head.Overall, though, it was a fun and a watchable series. I'm still not sure about the acting. I feel like Sea can't really act that well, and in many scenes Keen was carrying the emotional weight for both of them. On the other hand, Java's acting was incredibly good. I cried a lot during his scenes, and he was definitely one of the highlights of the series for me.

It was really enjoyable
It was really enjoyable, and I never felt bored while watching it. At first, I thought it would be cringe because of how the main character was introduced as the cold, mysterious, cool guy, but it turned out to be genuinely entertaining.I especially loved Wu Suo Wei's character. I'm not a fan of making the bottom overly cute, small, or extremely weak, so I really liked his cunning and strategic personality. The chemistry between the secondary couple was also very beautiful.

As for the story itself, it was both sensitive and heartwarming. Perhaps only people who have not yet found peace with their inner child will fully understand what I mean, but this story genuinely touched my heart. I wish comfort, healing, and self-acceptance to everyone who is dealing with trauma or struggles related to their inner child.
Santa's performance made me become deeply attached to the character of young Sun, and he made me cry many times throughout the series. I could also genuinely feel the pressure that Bobmik's character experienced while taking care of Solar.
However, despite all that, I felt that the series was a little rushed at times. Some of the most important events happened rather quickly, and I wish certain moments had been given more time to develop so that their emotional impact could have been explored more deeply.
The series is filled with emotions, whether it's sadness, sympathy, love, or the warmth of family bonds. I highly recommend watching it. ❤️

How did I never write a review for *Not Me* before?!?! I’m currently rewatching it for the third time with my friend, and there are a few things I really want to talk about.First of all, I was trying not to mention OffGun’s acting because we all already know that they are incredibly talented and experienced actors. Their performances are always top-notch. But seriously, Gun... how did you manage to portray two completely different characters with such depth and professionalism in the same series?!
Gun is truly gifted. Every time I think about the fact that Black and White were played by the same actor, I get chills. He completely convinced me that they were two different people. Their mannerisms, expressions, emotions, and even the energy they carried felt so distinct that it was easy to forget they were portrayed by the same person.
As for the message of the series, it moved me deeply. I believe it had the same impact on everyone who shares or understands the social realities that the characters were facing. *Not Me* wasn't just a BL series; it was a story about injustice, inequality, friendship, courage, and standing up for what you believe in. It made people think, question, and empathize.
Even after all this time, it remains one of the most powerful and meaningful series I have ever watched.
And I can't finish this review without talking about First's performance. York truly showed just how skilled First is as an actor.
The hospital scene completely broke me. I actually cried. Through nothing but his expressions, his eyes, and the way he cried, I could feel a mixture of grief, pain, heartbreak, and anger all at once. It was such a raw and powerful performance.
And then I remembered the truck scene in the final episode. The crying, the emotions, the acting—it all felt incredibly real. York's words about his mother hit me so hard, and the goodbye kiss between White and Sean was heartbreaking. Even now, I can't think about those scenes without feeling the same lump in my throat that I felt when I first watched them.
That's what makes a performance memorable when it stays with you long after the episode is over. First managed to make York feel like a real person, and every emotion he experienced felt genuine. His performance was one of the highlights of the entire series for me.

As for the characters, they literally went through no development throughout the entire story. From the very first episode to the last, their personalities and decisions never changed, and none of them gave up their habits or ego. The ending was very logical if you are a logical person, but for emotional people, they probably won’t like it.

I feel like Pran’s character is very close to me and truly represents who I am. It makes me wish to find someone who would love and accept me the way Pat does.
I watched it with my soulmate, and we cried so much together. I can’t even fully express the intensity of the feelings it makes me experience.
In the end, it’s something I always come back to, because I somehow always find my happiness in it.
