So Cheesy, made me want more!

I'm so emotional knowing this is really the end... the actual end. It feels like I'm closing a huge chapter of comfort, and I'm already feeling nostalgic. T-T

I'm genuinely impressed by this spin-off. There are only four episodes, and yet it somehow has EVERY-THING it needs.

You can really see that Peach and Kian's relationship is built to last. It's just incredibly heartwarming watching them love each other so deeply and flourish in the life they've built together. I also loved watching Peach deal with Khun Tee's silly personality. Honestly, every single interaction between them is overflowing with love. I don't think I've ever seen a couple complement each other so perfectly while bringing this much comfort to the audience.

I was also really happy to see Mok and Khun Tee's relationship explored a little more. And having the trio back together with Rome not only gives us a better understanding of their past, but also adds so many tender moments.

And I'm not even going to start talking about Rome and Mok because... LORD. We were so spoiled in only four episodes. Watching them fall so hopelessly in love is painfully beautiful... and incredibly addictive.

I was honestly pretty hesitant about Aran and Tawan at first (because let's be honest, that man is a walking red flag). But it was surprisingly satisfying to watch him genuinely try to become a better person. That kind of redemption probably only exists in dramas... but I'll take it. They're ridiculously adorable too.

And you know who else is adorable? Mira and Plub. And the kids.

Honestly, this whole drama is just one giant dose of happiness, warmth, and pure sweetness.

I absolutely loved it. And I'm definitely not being objective when I say this because, honestly, I think this BL brings comfort to anyone willing to give it a chance.

You just have to let your heart be carried away by all the warmth it has to offer.

Emotionally attached Mafia Bosses are now everyone's type

WOW.

This drama is genuinely one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

I honestly don't think I'll ever be able to explain coherently how absolutely everything about it took my breath away over and over again, had me silently screaming in my room at 5 a.m and giggling nonstop. This BL made me feel so many more emotions than I ever expected.

And honestly, I wasn't convinced from the start.

Before watching Me & Thee, the only thing I knew was that it was a romance... but also a comedy. I was genuinely worried because Thai BL humor (no offense, I'm obviously not trying to generalize) tends to make me cringe more than anything else, or simply leaves me bored.

Well... not this one.

I honestly think trying not to smile while watching this drama is physically impossible. My cheeks have never worked this hard. I laughed so much, and I mean ACTUALLY laughed, not just the polite little exhale most dramas get out of me.

And that's mainly thanks to a well-written story and incredibly lovable characters.

Khun Thee's eccentric personality contrasts so beautifully with Peach's tenderness that somehow they end up complementing each other perfectly. Their personalities shouldn't work together as well as they do, and yet they absolutely do. Their intertwined destinies don't just bring humor and joy to the story, they also give both characters so much emotional depth.

I absolutely loved how persistent Khun Thee was. Honestly, THANK YOU for finally giving us a character who's actually capable of talking about his feelings. I loved him because, for what feels like the first time ever in a BL, every important question actually gets asked. He leaves no room for misunderstandings because once he falls in love, giving up simply isn't an option.

And Peach is just as lovable. Little by little, he opens his heart and lets P'Kian into what used to be his world but slowly becomes Their world.

The cinematography completely caught me off guard. It looks gorgeous. And I want to sincerely thank the glam team because they absolutely understood the assignment. They did an incredible job. I mean... there's no way you can ignore the facecards this cast is serving.

The chemistry between Pond and Phuwin is also absolutely insane. They took my breath away more times than I can count. I genuinely had to pause a few scenes just to regain my composure. The eye contact. The lingering touches. The way every moment between them is wrapped in both tenderness and unbearable tension...

I truly hope they have a very, veeeeery long career ahead of them because their talent left me speechless. And yes, I'm delulu and convinced it's because they're literally made for each other.

As for the ending... I understand why some people criticize it. Sure, you could argue that it feels a little rushed, but this is Theerakit Kian Lee we're talking about. Honestly, I think any more grounded or understated ending would've felt bland in comparison.

Overall, I had an incredible time watching this drama. It became part of my daily routine and brought me so much more comfort than I ever expected.

Stories like this reconnect us with our humanity because every emotion they make us feel reminds us that we're alive. Sure, maybe we're living indirectly through fictional characters... but it's still living !

Being a BL fan is such a beautiful thing. ^^

SUCH A BLESSING

As a religious person who is also part of the LGBTQ+ community, this drama touched me more deeply than I can put into words. I honestly don't think words are enough to explain how much it moved me or how much it changed the way I see love.

I think the plot is incredibly well written. At first, I was afraid that religion would take up too much space, but in the end, it allowed the drama to ask much deeper questions.

This BL doesn't only explore the moral conflict between the heart and reason (or, in this case, faith). It also shows the guilt of loving someone, the fear of disappointing God, the self-hatred that comes from not being able to accept yourself, and even the rejection of God that grows inside a heart already afraid of itself. These are questions that many of us may ask ourselves one day, and this drama gives something that is so precious : HOPE.

It reminds us that love is not incompatible with faith. That God will always have a place for those who sincerely seek Him. And that message is just so powerful. Honestly, I'm tearing up just writing these words.

On top of that, the chemistry between the two main characters gave me butterflies so many times. Watching them slowly fall in love was absolutely beautiful. The way they looked at each other, the way their breathing changed when they got close, the quiet tension between them, and even the dialogues... every emotion felt so real. Even the soundtrack pulled me in, and some of the lyrics were enough to make me cry.

Episode 2 touched me the most. I think it was beautifully directed. The way it portrayed overwhelming desire mixed with the shame of loving someone was heartbreaking and incredibly honest.

I honestly can't do anything but recommend this drama over and over again to anyone who feels lost between their faith and their identity. It reminds us that we are not alone, and that we don't have to give up a part of ourselves for God to still live in our hearts.

The word Suppalo is now triggering me !

I feel like if I had watched this BL even five years ago, I would've immediately considered it peak because... FirstKhaotung...!! But I have to be realistic here, because as breathtaking as their performances were, the story itself made me sigh more times than I can count.

So I'm going to start with what I really liked.

The first few episodes were soooo good. We had a real rivalry between Aye and Akk, and watching them hate each other while being irresistibly drawn to one another was incredibly addictive. Although we can definitely question Akk's sudden fixation on Aye, because... weird. Let's just say Aye caught his eye.

The chemistry between the protagonists is captivating and, most importantly, undeniably sincere. The looks they exchange, their hands slowly reaching for each other, the dialogue between them (especially Aye's, let's be honest) was genuinely well written.

I honestly think that if this drama had simply focused on learning to fully accept yourself and learning how to love yourself through the eyes of the person who loves you, it could have been an undeniable banger !

But that's not what happened. Because the story eventually turned into one giant collection of absurdities that we're somehow expected to swallow one after another.

I just don't have the words to explain how much the story lost me. I watched these people cry over things that made absolutely no sense, and at some point I started wondering whether I had no humanity whatsoever or whether the director was simply expecting us to buy into all this nonsense.

So, if I understood correctly, the biggest problem in the holy land of Suppalo is... wearing the uniform and using a phone?

They're willing to launch investigations and recruit students into some kind of secret operation over three sis standing at the bottom of a building holding cardboard signs. THIS is the biggest threat to Suppalo's reputation? WTF.

Now, can someone explain to me why Aye was immediately thrown into the middle of everything the second he arrived? The guy wears a jacket, looks a little suspicious, and apparently that's enough to accuse him of being the spiritual leader behind the three sis and their puppet.

So OBVIOUSLY, everyone has to interrogate him, follow him around and immediately put him in a box because this guy "doesn't belong." Meanwhile, the actual self-proclaimed revolutionaries are apparently not the subject of any investigation.

But wait, because things get even more serioooous and spooooky when we're introduced to the Suppalo curse.

You can see from a mile away that this curse is being used to scare the three protesters into stopping whatever the hell they're protesting about, because once again, I genuinely didn't understand what the actual matter was anymore.

At first it's about the uniform. Then suddenly it's about freedom of speech, freedom of opinion and the right to express yourself.

OOOkaaay. We went from something extremely concrete to something completely abstract in about five seconds.

Anyway, apparently everyone is terrified of this curse.

Even the teachers.

Even the principal.

We're clearly supposed to believe that Suppalo is some kind of authoritarian, oppressive dictatorship. And sure, okay, if you say so. I mean, the prefects patrolling the school are more or less the political police 🗿.

Then Aye starts reading 1984 by George Orwell, and I thought:

"No way. They're not actually going there. They're not going to make metaphors. It's not that deep."

Well...IT IS THAT DEEP.

And apparently that's what the entire drama is about. Everything is given this enormous amount of gravity that I simply cannot take seriously.

And I'm not even going to get started on the teacher's assistant, who might be the biggest chameleon this planet has ever seen. She arrives with actual principles and values, apparently. And I thought:

"Oh, great! She's probably going to play an important role in dismantling this system that apparently dehumanizes students. Yayyyy!"

NOPE.

The woman dropped those values in her locker the second she arrived and proceeded to do absolutely everything Teacher Chadok told her without using even the tiniest bit of common sense.

Then, after several episodes whose content is honestly a blur because I was so skeptical but desperately trying to keep an open mind because FirstKhaotung ٩(>ᴗ<)و !!!! we finally get the GREAT SHIFT !

Suddenly... Enemies become lovers!! YAYAY!!

Okay, it wasn't on that boat with that gorgeous sunshine filling the air, but whatever. They're adorable, so I'll take it. Except Akk still doesn't accept himself. I guess that's okay. Obviously it must be difficult for him, especially when the school seems pretty damn homophobic and he's been completely shaped by the system he's grown up in.

>Next episode

Aye: Do you want to be my boyfriend?

Akk: Yes.

...

WHAT ? ',:/ Okay, sure. It's just a little fast for a guy who still hasn't accepted himself and who seems to be struggling pretty badly with the whole curse situation and everything surrounding it. But they love each other, so... we're good, right?

I was skeptical, but hey, we'll take what we can get.

And then there's the Khan-Thua couple.

To be fair, their progression makes a little more sense. But I don't know why, from the very beginning, I just couldn't get myself to like this couple. Maybe it's just straight-up facial prejudice. But I genuinely couldn't do it.

You have one guy who's as bland as plain pasta dating someone who, if you squint reeeaaally hard and someone hands you an audiovisual guide, vaguely looks like a bad boy.

And seriously... Bruce Wayne?

This man must have grown up in Plato's cave. He talks to Batman and then proudly announces, like the village idiot, that he's genuinely developing feelings for him.

And Khan doesn't laugh. Not once.

Thua: "I'm talking to Bruce Wayne right now, and I LOVE HIM."

Khan: "Bruce Wayne? Doesn't ring a bell. Well, good for you, I guess."

And then let's talk about the plot twist, because this time I was sincerely twisted. Twisted by my own confusion.

So, if I understood correctly, Akk originally had motivations that were pretty unclear for this curse situation (although to me it was obvious he was doing everything for Teacher Chadok), and then suddenly he's blamed for perpetuating the curse.

And at no point does he actually explain himself. He just completely spirals into a state of "depression"

Then Chadok, who has been an absolute asshole from the beginning, suddenly becomes a good guy because...he was in love with Aye's uncle.

I'm sorry, but shouldn't Aye have at least a little resentment here?

This man pushed your boyfriend to his breaking point and put an insane amount of pressure on Akk's shoulders, but apparently everything is fine now because Chadok wanted to marry the uncle?!

What?!

And then, without warning, Thua starts acting like the biggest bi*ch in the entire drama. (I told you I didn't trust this guy.) Suddenly he has no loyalty, no friends, no sense of shame, apparently.

First he accuses Akk of perpetuating the curse. Then he OUTS HIS OWN FRIENDS PUBLICLY. Dude. You're literally part of the community yourself. As far as I'm concerned, that's the ultimate betrayal !!

And then he accuses Akk of perpetuating a curse that HE VERY CLEARLY ALSO HELPED PERPETUATE.

Why?!

So now they're both blamed for everything, and apart from saying "I'm sorry," neither of them actually has much to say about it.

And then...That's it.

Suddenly the school is super LGBTQ-friendly. Five minutes ago, being gay was apparently one of the greatest abominations in the holy land of Suppalo, and now everyone loves everyone.

And Chadok... The one person who had a perfect opportunity to redeem himself, to actually make the school a safer and more welcoming place after everything he'd done... decides to commit the bravest act of his entire career:

HE RESIGNS?! WTF.

Then they start making a little movie together. And I was actually open to it. I thought this could be a really nice opportunity to explain the title of the drama, The Eclipse.

You know, the idea that there were dark moments in our relationship, but the sun always comes back. Something like that.

NOPE.

We got basically nothing.

I'm going to keep my own interpretation of the title to myself because at least it will give this whole thing a semblance of depth.

Then we get Akk's coming-out scene, which, to be fair, I genuinely found really sweet.

I'm not even going to lie, the actors did an incredible job with what they were given. You could really see in Akk's eyes the complexity of accepting a part of himself that he'd spent so long rejecting.

And then who shows up? His friends.

And Thua.

You know, the guy who betrayed them. And apparently... It's fine!

Welcome back, Thua and your absolutely atrocious fisherman jacket.

And then the teacher's assistant spawns in.

Welcome to you too, I guess.

Because apparently, now that she's outside the school, she suddenly remembered that she has principles and values.

And that's it.

THAT'S THE END.

I was so frustrated.

Because there was potential in every single idea this drama introduced, but every single one of them was paired with some completely insane plot development.

They try to talk about mental health, but the context doesn't feel believable. Why does this curse that Akk was dragged into have such a huge impact on him? Why is he the only one suffering from it when the entire system helped perpetuate it?

They try to talk about acceptance, but the entire Suppalo situation makes it impossible to take seriously.

We go from homophobic slurs to: "˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ What a blessing to be a homosexual ˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀." In about five minutes.

They try to talk about oppression, authoritarianism and the desire for freedom, but the thing supposedly motivating all of this is a group of three people at the bottom of a building, presented as some kind of national threat.

All of this... over a uniform and a phone.

Honestly, by the end of it, I think the only people who remained completely consistent throughout the entire story were the three sis at the bottom of the building. They always accepted themselves exactly as they were. They always protested for the things that actually mattered to them. And, as far as I remember, they never even faced any consequences for it.

First and Khaotung were absolutely majestic. But if I hear the word Suppalo one more time, I might actually lose my mind.

Thank you for making it this far.

And I guess, just like Chadok, it's time for me to leave... for absolutely no apparent reason.

You can't convince me that was JUST acting

The chemistry?!!!

I was genuinely blown away by the harmony between Smart and Boom. The tension. The teasing. The emotions. Are these guys seriously able to cry on command?! The eye contact, the breathing, every little gesture... these actors are unbelievably talented.

Every intimate scene felt so sincere and, once again, so perfectly in sync that it just makes your heart race.

I don't think it's possible to write a review about TopForm without mentioning the honey scene because... LORD. I have never seen anything that sexy in my life.

It's absolutely worth the hype. The cinematography is stunning, but more importantly, what unfolds on screen feels so raw and genuine that it's honestly overwhelming to watch. And once again, I refuse to believe this is just acting. The actors are simply too good for me to believe they were only acting !

For the story itself, I'd say it had a lot of potential during the first few episodes... right until that grumpy old man from Sigma started showing up every five minutes with his homophobic attitude, always at the worst possible moment, just to ruin whatever little bit of peace the characters had managed to find, without ever giving us a truly convincing reason.

I also feel like the supporting characters are... just there. You can tell the director wanted to give them some kind of backstory, but none of them ever feel fully developed, so they end up lacking depth.

Then again... can we really blame them when the two leads spend the entire drama absolutely devouring each other with their eyes and delivering such an incredible performance?

Overall, I'd say I had a really good time watching TopForm.

Sure, I found it a little slow at times, but Smart and Boom's performance alone is more than enough to keep you watching until the very end. What begins as a love story on stage slowly becomes something much more intimate, proving that the most beautiful love stories are often the ones lived far away from the spotlight. <3

Not the best drama, but still good

I'm not even gonna lie, this drama was EXTREMELY successful at making me experience the deepest second-hand embarrassment imaginable.

This review is probably going to sound ridiculous because I'm basically about to criticize the very essence of Thai drama humor... but seriously, it gets me every single time. So, I decided to make a little ranking of the moments that made me physically cringe...

The "DUUUAAANNNGGG" in the opening song. Which, by the way, is a perfect representation of Duang himself. Please..

The whole "num num good boy" scene... I was fighting for my life. And honestly, feeding someone isn't even that cute to me in the first place, so when you start making airplane noises and singing on top of it... absolutely not.

Duang suddenly switching to that "cutesy voice" of his and referring to himself in the third person.... Even the way he'd get all excited whenever he got closer to Quin in the first few episodes... sir, compose yourself.

Jamie and Marvis constantly switching between Thai and English.

During the first episodes, Duang's friends (and honestly Quin's friends too) being present every single time he desperately tried to flirt with Quin. Their presence was neither wanted nor needed.

The Gucci slides. (This is just a personal remark.) Why?

Duang literally acting like a dog, panting and barking to show affection. STOP THAT.

There were honestly plenty of other moments that managed to make me curl up from embarrassment, but I've decided to keep them to myself because, in reality, this BL is undeniably good.

Duang is obviously someone who knows exactly how to express and declare his love. But what impressed me even more throughout the series was how much of a driving force he becomes in Quin's personal growth.

I absolutely loved Quin's development, and Por portrayed it beautifully. His character evolves so naturally and progressively. Watching Quin slowly let his guard down, accept his feelings, and finally come to terms with his past was genuinely touching. I honestly wasn't expecting that level of emotional depth.

I also have to mention how beautifully Duang and Quin's growing intimacy is filmed. I totally forgot how to breathe during Episode 6. Since the drama is generally lighthearted and playful, I wasn't expecting the intimate scenes to hit that hard emotionally. So THANK YOU for that.
Those scenes genuinely gave me butterflies. You can feel every ounce of the tension, tenderness, and love between them, and it was refreshing to see something so emotionally sincere in a drama that usually doesn't take itself too seriously.


In the end, I think this is truly a feel-good drama. Beyond all the cringe moments (which, honestly, end up becoming part of the show charm) you just have a really good time watching it. It's nice to watch two emotionally healthy people passionately fall in love.

Maybe They Were Too Buddy-Buddy

I have really mixed feelings about Bad Buddy.

It's honestly a very good BL. The relationship is healthy, the actors have incredible chemistry, and the story is simply made to make you have a great time. To be honest, there aren't many flaws I can point out.

Of course... there is a "but."

Before that, I have to say that this is probably the first slow burn that shocked me so much when the kiss finally happened that I had to replay the scene several times before my brain could actually process what I had just watched. I genuinely wasn't prepared for how beautiful that moment was.

My only criticism is what happened after that kiss. It felt like such a huge turning point, yet the relationship didn't really become more intense afterward. This might be a bold thing to say, but what disappointed me the most was how ordinary everything became. I think I was expecting even more chemistry and emotional intimacy between the two protagonists.

Don't get me wrong, the everyday scenes were lovely to watch, and I absolutely enjoyed their constant teasing and playful dynamic. But that kiss promised something bigger, only for the story to suddenly settle into a much calmer routine. It almost felt like their relationship lost some of its intensity instead of growing stronger.

That being said, even if I expected more, I can't deny that this is a beautiful drama. It offers great LGBTQ+ representation, their relationship is genuinely sweet and healthy, and that's something I really appreciated. It's also one of the few BLs that feels close to real life, which makes it easy to connect with the characters and their story.

Maybe that's exactly why I wanted just a little bit more.

Too Much Potential, Too Little Payoff...

I feel like this drama is either a hit or a miss. I can totally understand why some people love it, but unfortunately, for me, it was a miss.

I think the biggest problem is that I went into this drama with really high expectations without actually knowing what to expect. I quickly realized it was going to be a slow burn... but after 7 episodes that each lasted between one hour and one hour and a half, there was barely any progress. I actually enjoy a good slow burn, but the problem here is that the romance was pushed completely into the background. So if you're looking for a beautiful love story that slowly grows stronger, I don't think this is the right drama.

The most obvious issue with this BL is the episode length. The first few episodes completely pulled me in, and I could see so much potential. The story seemed to know where it was going. But around episode 5 (or maybe even before), everything started losing its direction. I genuinely felt like I had to sit through every episode because they were so long while barely moving the story forward. Seriously, everything became so over-the-top and unrealistic. It tried to mix comedy that wasn't really funny, thriller that wasn't thrilling, and romance that was almost nonexistent.

I'm sorry, but I was bored. The constant plot twists became so ridiculous that they made me want to scream. It's frustrating because the story had so much potential, but I feel like it got ruined by trying to stretch everything out just to make more episodes.

Honestly, what frustrated me the most was how the romance lost all its impact because it was buried under a plot that became more and more absurd. I got so tired of it that I ended up watching a cut version that focused mostly on the main couple... and, surprise, most of their scenes lasted five minutes at best.

I didn't even watch the final episode, and I honestly don't think I ever will. I truly believe that if the story had been condensed into just six episodes, this BL would have been so much better.

Eyes don't lie

What if I told you that the thing that affected me the most, the thing that completely added another layer of depth and understanding to this drama, was hidden in the characters' eyes?

I think I should start by talking about Pond's performance as Palm.

I cried so much. I was moved to tears over and over again because I've genuinely never seen a character transcend me quite like this one did. Pond portrays Palm's loneliness and vulnerability with almost painful accuracy. In absolutely everything: his deep, painfully sincere eyes, the tone of his voice, his subtle and attentive gestures.

And I want to hold on to the strong belief that there is a lot of Pond in Palm.

Actually, I deeply believe there is a little bit of Palm in all of us (even if none of us could ever embody it with quite the same accuracy).

Palm is a character shaped by an overwhelming loneliness. First, by the absence of people/family around him, and then by his complete lack of ambition, born from an absolute absence of purpose. In a way, he simply endures his loneliness because his existence has become absurd, lived almost entirely through passivity.

And yet, when love finds its way into his life, it's as if his entire existence suddenly takes on a new meaning.

Ultimately, despite his role as a "bodyguard" and his physical presence, Palm is incredibly fragile. Because when he gives his heart to Nuengdiao, he isn't only giving him the entirety of his most sincere feelings. Loving him also gives him a reason to exist.

A reason to keep going. (God, love is fucking beautiful. T^T)

But Palm and Nuengdiao are both characters defined by loneliness. And I personally think that Palm is alone, while Nuengdiao is lonely.

The two protagonists resemble each other, and yet they are completely different.

They both place an enormous importance on love, but they don't express it the same way. They both experience an overwhelming sense of loneliness, but that loneliness comes from completely different places.

And it's precisely in that difference that their relationship becomes so complex, and yet incredibly intense.

Because the things they don't say protect them just as much as they destroy them. The moments they share seem to exist forever in their thoughts, yet only for a fleeting second in the present.

Shout-out to Episode 9, which personally made me cry the most. I've genuinely never seen an episode manage to immerse us so deeply in both love and sadness at the same time.

I also absolutely loved the entire arc on their little paradise island. AAAHHDSHS. I feel like I could talk forever about their chemistry. Just please tell me I'm not the only insane person who was way too affected by all that sincerity, by the way they look at each other, by every little glance they share.

Pond and Phuwin honestly left me speechless. They're both so incredibly talented that I almost feel grateful I got to witness something like this with my own eyes, for free.

As for the story itself, I think it sometimes had a tendency to fade into the background. And honestly, I didn't mind that. But whenever they were on the run, it was almost as if the plot suddenly remembered it had a job to do and started throwing problems at them again.

Maybe this drama does have a bit of a drama queen tendency every now and then. Seriously, all those shootings, all that chaos, and then when everything finally gets resolved... we don't even learn anything new. (what happened next ?)

But honestly, the setting was idyllic, the face cards never declined, and the cinematography was absolutely breathtaking. The shots were gorgeous.

And the dialogues... Majestic.

The words were chosen so beautifully that every now and then I had to pause just to stare at my screen and wonder whether my own existence had any meaning.

And honestly, now that I've finished this drama, I realize just how much the title resonates with Palm and Nuengdiao.

Because Never Let Me Go isn't really an order driven by the fear of losing someone.

I think the real question is:

When will I be enough to realize that I don't want to let you go?

That hit me hard.

If only Day was less ungrateful...

First of all, I'd like to apologize in advance to everyone who likes Day as a character, because he pissed me off so much that this review is going to be aimed at him in particular.

This drama started off SOO strong. The first five episodes completely hooked me because of their potential, the interesting dynamic between the two protagonists, and the gentle way they slowly grew closer.

However, the moment August started becoming part of the picture, it was as if Day completely lost all common sense, or maybe he simply started showing his true colors through a series of completely irrational decisions. Let me explain.

Before Day reconnects with his badminton friends, there's a genuine bond between him and Mhok. You can see how attentive Mhok is, how respectfully he treats him, how patient, gentle and understanding he is. But the moment August comes back, it's as if none of that closeness had ever existed.

He even refuses to date Mhok because he "doesn't like bad boys."

But... what??? What bad boy??? It's obvious that Mhok is only a bad boy aesthetically (if even that). That genuinely drove me insane. It was like Day didn't know him at all, like he was living in complete denial. He clearly felt all of Mhok's affection, yet somehow he keeps denying every bit of it.

The truth is, Day is selfish and ungrateful. And that's something he actually admits himself. He "used to be a cocky badminton player", going blind wasn't what taught him humility. He still lives in a golden cage. He loves the sound of his own voice, he always needs to be the center of attention, and nowhere is that more obvious than in the relationship he has with his brother.

The hatred he has for his brother is completely incomprehensible to me, especially once we find out where it comes from. It was never the accident that fueled his resentment. What really bothered him was the fact that his brother tried to step into the role of an 'older brother' and be seen as a good person by everyone.

Once again, Day completely misses the point. What he actually hates is that, one day, his brother stole the spotlight from him. He doesn't like his brother's kindness because he thinks it's hypocritical?? Seriously, what are people even supposed to do for you, Day?

You hate awkward acts of kindness, you hate people feeling sorry for you... Is there anything someone can do that won't annoy you? This guy is unbearable.

And actually, THIS STORY IS REALLY ABOUT BLINDNESS.

And don't even get me started on the ending, because it made me lose my mind.

Day is the first person to say that you don't need your eyes to truly see, yet he spent the entire drama completely blind to the love Mhok had for him.

In the end, he remains deeply self-centered and unable of recognizing the love people have for him because he constantly mistakes his disability for his identity, and compassion for pity.

That's exactly why the breakup in the final episodes drove me absolutely insane. Day decides (as always) to end the relationship because his partner supposedly pitied him.

Sorry, but here's my take. Mhok wasn't pitying him, he was simply in love. He wanted to be close to the person he loved instead of being on the other side of the planet. He wanted to stay by his side because he cared about him. For once in his life, he wanted to be there for someone he loved. And Day completely ruined everything by confusing Mhok's endless love with pity...

This guy has absolutely no idea what love actually is.

Even in their relationship, everything revolves around him. As far as I'm concerned, Mhok is the only one actually fighting to make the relationship work. He's the only one constantly walking on eggshells every time this insufferable spoiled rich kid decides to throw another tantrum.

Thankfully, Mhok has the patience of a saint and apparently very little self-respect to come back to him three years later. I honestly thought this would finally be the moment where Day apologized to Mhok. But of course not, this guy never questions himself. Mhok apologizes for God knows what reason (thankfully love really is blind LOL), only for this idiot to turn to his mother and say:

"But how do I know if I gave him a second chance he won't repeat what he did?"

Once again, I have to ask... What exactly did he do? Someone please enlighten me because I genuinely still don't get it.

He refuses to give Mhok a second chance, immediately regrets it, runs after him at the airport, and Mhok, after having his heart broken about thirty times by this indecisive jerk, still decides to dance with him... and love him, Forever, on top of that.

Honestly, good for him.

"I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody," said The Neighbourhood. Day, on the other hand, would much rather use somebody who love him.

At the end of the day, Day got everything he ever wanted. A loving family. A RICH family. Because let's not forget that the reason he got his eyesight back was, above all, because of his privilege. And he has someone by his side who loves him unconditionally and, fortunately for Day, seems perfectly happy surviving on love alone. Good for him.

Even though Day regained his sight, he'll always be blind in my eyes, because he never managed to see the beauty of the love Mhok had for him.

4ever in my Heart !

Even today, I randomly think about KinnPorsche. The opening song still plays in my head, and every time I hear it, I get emotional. It honestly feels like my whole soul is being transported back.

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it's really hard to find another BL that made me feel the same way.

What makes this drama so special is that both the plot and the romance get exactly the attention they deserve. Every episode keeps you on edge and awakens all your senses, while at the same time watching Kinn and Porsche slowly fall in love is absolutely addictive. I still remember desperately clicking "next episode" over and over because I cared more about knowing what happened next than maintaining any kind of social life.

This review probably won't be very objective or constructive because it's been more than five years since I watched this drama. Still, I'll never stop recommending it because even after all this time, its impact hasn't faded at all.

The only thing that really bothered me was the side story between Kim (Jeff Satur) and Porchay. Honestly, besides giving me second-hand embarrassment, I don't think it added much to the main plot except creating extra problems. (⇀ˬ↼‶)

As for Vegas and Pete... I think I'll write about them in my future book. They are probably one of the most toxic couples I've ever watched, yet they're also the couple that made me cry the most. I've never been on such an emotional roller coaster because of two characters.

So thank you, KinnPorsche, for still being able to make me feel this wave of excitement every time I remember certain scenes. Even years later, this drama still has a special place in my heart. ♡✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡♡˚
