Terceira série BL daTailândia
Esse final de semana eu maratonei pela milésima vez "Make it right", a primeira temporada, e é incrível a quantidade de sentimentos que essa série consegue nos transmitir.Eu tenho o hábito de situar a série historicamente. Essa série foi produzida quando a Tailândia ainda engatinhava no mundo BL. Antes dela, houve o sucesso estrondoso do filme "Love of Siam", um mês depois o Japão lançou o primeiro filme da série "Takumi Kun", em 2012 foi lançado um arco do "Club Friday", que como se trata de história real, não se encaixa no gênero BL, em seguida o estrondoso sucesso de "Hormones", que começou em 2013 e rendeu 3 temporadas, e em 2014, outro fenômeno: "Love sick", que ganhou duas temporadas. Observem que desde Love of Siam, Hormones e Love sick, as séries BL eram ambientadas nas escolas não nas universidades como é comum atualmente.
Essa série é linda, realmente linda, e o roteiro é sensacional, apesar dos furos. Antes de tudo vou falar sobre os furos (geralmente eu deixo essa parte por último), e nem tem nada a ver com militância, até pq é preciso entender que a minha realidade no Brasil hoje é totalmente diferente de um país asiático, principalmente a seis anos atrás. A série começa com vários adolescentes bebendo até caírem, isso nem é uma crítica, é uma observação, pois não adianta militar sobre algo que infelizmente é normal em qualquer lugar, talvez essa tenha sido a receita de sucesso entre os jovens, mostrar certos pontos da realidade sem pudor causou uma identificação com os adolescentes.
O outro ponto de observação, e aqui realmente é uma crítica, é sobre o sexo sem consentimento. Na primeira vez de Tee e Fuse, Tee estava sóbrio, enquanto Fuse estava totalmente embriagado e não tinha condições de consentir o sexo. Na primeira vez de Book e Frame, Book foi praticamente estuprado, e de forma tão violenta que ficou doente, não tenho como passar pano para isso.
No mais, não tenho problemas com o roteiro. A série mostra o período da adolescência de forma muito real, as dúvidas sobre o corpo, sexualidade, as confusões de sentimentos, a descoberta do amor, as decepções amorosas, os dramas, a amizade, o bullying que muitas vezes é feito de forma cruel pelos próprios amigos, com ou sem intenção, a auto aceitação, o preconceito que muitas vezes começa dentro de casa, nossa! Não sei como conseguiram colocar todos esses temas em apenas 12 episódios e trabalhar bem cada um deles.
Algo muito especial nessa série, é a primeira confissão de amor entre Tee e Fuse, guardarei a cena no coração para sempre. Uma história de milhões, uma ost linda, uma fotografia muito boa. Lembro-me da quantidade de críticas dos fãs brasileiros a respeito da atuação dos meninos, mas lembrem-se, eram adolescentes em seus primeiros papeis, falando sobre um tema que apesar de ter milhões de fãs, tinha um continente inteiro de muito preconceito, e sim, eles andaram para que nossas super produções BL de hoje pudessem correr.
Realmente indico muito essa série, pretendo revê-la muitas vezes ainda.
OBS: O bônus é ver vários amores atuais no início de suas carreiras, como Mean, Plan, Ohm Pawat, Boom e Peak, e diversos outros.

For the negatives, the acting is a little awkward in the beginning, but as the drama progresses and the actors become more comfortable, it gets much better. Also, you have make sure you find a proper subber. The first time I watched the first episode, I was as confused as Psyduck. After finding a more accurate translation, it become more understandable and more enjoyable.
The music has surprisingly low ratings compared to other categories, and I can understand. It's not mind-blowingly perfect, but I find that after a few episodes, it's very easy to get hooked to. Looking up the lyrics to the songs also helps, because they are very connected to the drama, and it makes you appreciate it more.
Overall, this is a drama I would happily recommend to anyone who is interested on some cute guy on guy love. I'd also recommend it to anyone who is simply curious about it, or enjoys cute romance regardless of the genders in question. It's great for almost anyone :)

Story:
Make It Right's story is definitely not new for (Thai) LGBT shows, but I don't wanna go into what the story is about and how it develops. I just want to mention what I found interesting or new for the genre/series like these
- the dynamic between the characters. You could clearly recognize the more active partner in the relationships (e.g. the one who chases after the other) which I found was a nice change from the "who's more active" guessing.
- there is like no (!) focus on the background at all. Here and there you'll get some hints, like someone being rich or someone's parents making a short appearance but otherwise everything stayed in the background and was really just there to support the story development.
- There are three main couples. The first and main one is cute and nice and has a steady development. Their development just stops a little bit when the series decides to focus on the others for a few episodes. The second couple, which is actually my favourite, is between the class leader and a playboy. They had an interesting beginning and you couldn't be sure what would happen next or how they would react to some things. They were just...freaking adorable!!! Here the problem was, that compared to the 2nd couple the problems and misunderstanding between the main couple seemed quite baseless and childish which kind of made me love the 2nd one better that the main one. The third couple also has a nice dynamic and was cute and interesting. They had some funny scenes with each other.
Cast/Acting:
The acting in the beginning was awkward to say the least. Maybe because you don't know the characters yet maybe because it was the first episode, I don't know, but it gets better (and not just because you get used to it). Big compliments to the guy who played Frame...I think he was the best of them all.
What I also have to mention: The chemistry is good. They seemed to be comfortable with each other which is important for a good romance.
Music:
Even though they reused their title song quite often I wasn't annoyed by it. In general a good choice of songs, although just two songs stayed in my mind.
Rewatch:
Definitely. They are all just too adorable.
So, overall, I definitely recommend MIR to everyone who watched shows like Love Sick and also everyone else who wants to see a nice series about some couples falling in love and facing some problems while getting to know each other.
Seriously the biggest citic I can find on MIR: Too much and too obvious advertising...

The story and the plot sounds very promising and interesting but somehow in a way or another there was something lacking with the show. Maybe I was looking for more, maybe I don't like the execution.
Some acting made me cringe a little bit but I can understand since the actors here are still young and just starting acting.
Book and Frame has been my favorite couple in here, they're very cute and adorable to look, they're the only reason actually that I have to hold on with the show because for most part of it was just off for me.

Main couple i just too boring plus acting was cringe soooo bad.
Only frame and book were only ones who really make me watch 2 seasons.
It;s really sad bcuz whole drama have good plot and nice looking actors, but it's just too boring 80% of time, and there is too much girly acting main couple who whining about everyting and can't make decision about anything.
Like i said book and frame were amazing from their first time meeting as not friends to whole eps that their relationship growing up.

I don't know about anyone else, but The Hormones Series totally set the standards for the best Thai dramas. Though Hormones is not exclusively a gay/BL drama, I still think it gave its gay characters growth throughout the first two seasons and set the bar for plot and acting in any Thai dramas that follows after it.Make it Right is adorable and has a love-able cast!
However, Make It Right is drawn out for way too long. This story could have easily been told in half as many episodes. Most of the acting was amateur-ish, especially Frame's character, but even so, the cast still had a way of pulling you into the story.
The product advertising was a bit of a throw-off, a bit excessive.
Lastly, trigger warning (trigger warnings hold precedence over spoilers), there are two scenes in which characters engage in unconsensual sex. Watch at your own risk, and unlike the series wants to make you believe, understand that we should not romanticize these two scenes.
