Funny & sweet show with realistic romance and without the stereotypes and tired tropes!

This is one of the best Thai rom-com shows I've seen with a gay romance story line (I've watched dozens of shows and never review any before!). Fresh-feeling plot that manages to include some absurd comedy/situations, without resorting to a lot of tropes and stereotypical plot twists. The characters are fairly well-developed, extremely well-acted, and experience a lot of personal growth. The production value is pretty high, with well-mixed audio for the most part and diverse shots.

If you are coming from the BL fan world, this show might not be cute/shippable enough for you, but if you are looking for a light romcom show with a more realistic view of relationships, this is a great pick.

More reasons to watch:
- Characters are adult-age, with is refreshing if you're coming from watching typical BL
- Subverts one trope (inappropriate romantic feelings) by having no actual shady behavior but allowing it to cause a lot of misunderstandings and drama nonetheless!
- Minimal use of gay or trans-femme stereotypes (there is one exaggerated character and sadly they are a bad person, but they aren't used for comedic relief just because of their femme-ness)
- None of those annoying sound effects that indicate something "hilarious" or bizarre has happened
- Really sweet opposites-attract that seems realistic

While there are of course things that could be improved, and there are some slowly paced parts that I skipped through, this far outshines many of the other dramas I've binged. If you're tired of shows with 10 side couples, plots full of holes, same-old gags and plot twists, then watch this show to remind yourself why you like romcom shows, especially BL/gay/Thai ones.
