never thought we’d see this director doing a cutesy first love series, but here we are and he is a brilliant director! GMMTVs recent rookie series have been some of my favourites of the past few years so I’m so excited!
I’m not sure I’m loving the main plot. I like a bit more of a slowburn love story and they were basically full on in love with each other from the first episode, but I do love Namtan and Films chemistry so so much - they make me squeal they are so cute - so I will keep watching because I love them not so much for the main plot. I’m really liking seeing kapook and Earns characters get closer though. I’m just excited for the drama to start, when her twin wakes up!
Everyone can hunt me down for this statement but I really want Gawin to find a good co-star.I was thinking New…
its felt like Gawin has been in so many partnerships! Four is the most previous partnerships I can think of for GMMTV stars in the BL industry: he’s previously worked with Pod, first, Krist and Joss. Him and Joss seem to really get along - they have a lot in common and it seems like they’ve built a friendship off set so I hope this’ll be a more long term partnership fir him! we are seeing it more and more with actors struggling to find their pair like Ohm who’s worked with Toey, Singto, Nanon and Leng or Perth who has worked with Saint, Mark, Chimon and Santa, or Earth who worked with New and White before Mix. I kinda like that we see stars with a variety of partnerships, but I also want to see them find a good co-star where they can work together for a long time - I keeping my fingers crossed that’s Joss.
I really liked that first episode - it was funny and entertaining and set up the characters really well. Arms friendship go up is so funny - I laughed at every scene with them! And then Gawin is in Arcs friendship group… I had to keep pausing because even after all these years it still surprises me how gorgeous he is!
this is a weird series for me. there are times I am so bored and want to watch it on 2x speed but then there are other moments that are ridiculously sweet and cute and I rewatch them a few times! I feel like this story probably could have been cut down a lot and that would’ve made the story a bit tighter, but FortPeat worked for me here, when they didn’t in Love In the Air
I used to love the US film of this story, Cruel Intentions! Funny that the US has just adapted this story into a series which will air this year and now we see SK adapting it into a series!
like some other people the speed of the relationship wasn’t to my liking and their chemistry wasn’t insanely good so this ended up falling a bit flat for me. I think I would’ve rated this higher if it ended after episode 3, which felt almost like an ending. And they were besically in a committed relationship with each other anyway by episode 2, which meant the rest of the series was just throwing in new ways to separate them each episode.And because they got together so fast I wasn’t sure if they actually would make it through all the obstacles in the series. i don’t think this is a bad series, it is just definitely not made for slowburn fans.
I am rewatching and I truly love this so so much. It perfectly captures the nostalgia of growing up and changes that brings to your life! It’s definitely my favourite project from director New and Earth and Santa are both just incredible in this - Cake is 100% my favourite BL character ever. He’s so charming, playful and caring, but there are moments when he lets his anger get the better of him. He’s such a real character and Santa played him so well! I am so excited to see Santa in a lead role again so soon and with Perth - they make sense as a pairing and their journey in this industry has been quite similar!
I think Yin quietly complemented War's acting. They had to be that way to get where they are now.
I always thought that too! Especially when looking at the other BL stars in 2020! Then I went on here to see people hating on his acting! but he is even better now.
Yin gets more and more talented each series! I remember when the original Love Mechanics came out people were saying he wasn’t up to Wars standard of acting, but I’d say they are both equally incredible now!
i think we need to make sure that the people that think this is going to be a cute and sweet BL know that that…
our lead has 3 main romantic relationships and they all end miserably - the first is a bad break up at university. The second is an older guy who never loved him. The third relationship I loved but his boyfriend moves countries and our lead cannot follow him because he has HIV and so can’t get a visa. He ends the novel a while later still wishing he could be with that 3rd partner that left. But the romances arent even the saddest bits: His platonic relationship with his best friend also ends miserably when they argue and he feels like their friendship was one big lie. And his relationship with his mother ends miserably too! it will be the most depressing story told in recent BL years - so this is just a warning to those people thinking it will be cute and sweet - this will be dark! And of course I will watch it, love it and cry about it!

Kim Jun Seo, Cha Sun Hyung, Cha Jung Woo and Kim Hoyoung! Very exciting
we are seeing it more and more with actors struggling to find their pair like Ohm who’s worked with Toey, Singto, Nanon and Leng or Perth who has worked with Saint, Mark, Chimon and Santa, or Earth who worked with New and White before Mix.
