Y, Y, Y Should you watch this?

Why not?!.... Before we start,

WARNING: if you suffer from epilepsy or from chronic migraine. like me, skip 46 sec to start each episode. You won’t miss anything important from the intro, I’ll quote what they say at the end so you can save yourself.

The second thing I want to point out is that this series is not for everyone. This show is pure chaotic energy. It is not your normal rom-com, this is a sitcom, so don’t go in there with the mindset of a regular show and the bl tag because you will be disappointed. Even when it comes to comedy you’d also need to consider things like cultural context and personal taste. I have noticed that in Thai, they do a lot of play on word that Thai’s find hilarious while for the rest of us it may fall flat or even not make sense. I personally do not like Jim Carey type comedy and I’d never go for those kinds of shows but I seem to like this one. My point is - keep any open mind :)

The plot follows the lives and interactions of people that live in an apartment building owned by a yaoi obsessed transgender woman. Right off I’m going to tell you that some of the scenes in this drama are a product of someone’s lucid dream so like the warning in the intro said – don’t expect things to make sense. A true crackheads fever dream I’m telling you. Besides the crazy, you also have fake relationships (duh it’s a bl), love triangles (hello Asian drama), over-the-top-extra characters, they repeatedly bring up scenes from other bl’s and make parody of it and yet there are real, truly meaningful, moments and a few nugget of wisdom in there.

Nott (Yoon) – Frankly speaking, this is one of the most well-rounded, well written character I have seen. In this wack-a-do-doodle of a drama I did not expect to see such a mature character. The actor really did well, he comes off as both adorable and somehow serious at the same time. His character is a great communicator and his every interaction either with Pun, or his other two close friends (Arm & Ohm) will truly leave an impression.

Pun (Talay) – Pun is the cute new tenant that moved in with Nott. In all honesty, more than the character I am impressed with the actor. I watched Talay both here in YYY and in My Engineer so I got to see him play two different characters at the same time so I was able to see how well he did in his two roles with two different partners. I mean, I was rooting for his character with one person on Tuesdays and with another on Saturdays. This shows how well he worked with both his partners. My man oozes charisma on top of his ability to act. I really think people should keep an eye on him (and also bless his stylist because Pun’s outfits were good!)

Propla (Poppy) – okay anyone who has seen Poppy knows how buff and masculine he is but he put on a wig and a dress and he looks so feminine and his acting just sells it. I’m truly impressed. Poppy plays the yaoi obsessed, transgender apartment owner and provides most of the levity in the show.

The Bl part of this show is so endearing. Yoon and Talay have good chemistry and the characters Nott and Pun are just perfect!

Most of the music for this is from Why R U, but they have two OST and they are good! One you can dance to and the other one actually has really cute lyrics XD

The directing and editing is not that great (same director as WHY R U so no surprise there) but I found it hasn’t stopped me from enjoying the show. I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised with this show and I don't regret watching it.

Much like the show my rating also defies logic. A rational rating considering all aspects of the drama should have put it between 7 - 8 but I'm basing my scores on how good this drama makes me feel.

**If you decide to give this show a try, please support the show by using the official links. Aphys has kindly posted all official links as well as those for the official MV in the discussion forum.


For those who will be skipping the intro, here is the quote as promised;
“This Yaoi sit-com show is made for pure entertainment. This show contains strong language and inappropriate contents. And useful knowledge? Meh. Zero. Only drama. And I mean LOTS. Guidance should be suggested for children 18 and under. Do not ask for any rationality. Seriously. Do I look like I’m rational? No. Give me a break. If you want to laugh, laugh your heart out. Things are stressful. Give yourself a break. Without further ado, let the show begin”
