But In both the novel & series, I love the storyline of SunMork part...
The storyline of SunMork is so attractive...That’s about how two people from dislike each other to understanding each other and finally fall in love with each other in step by step....
Both Podd Suphakorn Sriphothong ( who acted as P’ Sun ) and Fluke Gawin Caskey ( who acted as Mork ) ‘s acting are good & natural although both of them are the rookies....
The atmosphere, the background music, the editing of SunMork scenes are also wonderful...
The OST : #ต่อให้เป็นจูบสุดท้าย ( Even It Is a Last Kiss ) is a so beautiful song which sang by Fluke Gawin with his beautiful voice....
And this series is not only a BL love stories but there were also some “ messages “ from the director P’Aof to the audiences worth for us to think about it....
One bad comment is the thirdwheel part in PeteKao storyline was dragged which really affected the story ...
At last but not least...I think both PoddFluke are the potential actors ( Fluke would be a potential singer too ).... I hope GMMTV could promote PoddFluke more and also promote them as GMM official couple and there would be more projects together or even have their own series in the future ....
Dark Blue Kiss the series ( especially SunMork part ) is worth to watch ( even re-watch ) .... Don’t miss it !!!!

This is the first PeteKao series that I have watched so I had no idea how deep their relationship was prior to the events of DBS.Story
The story has a simplistic plot -- 2 people in love and their relationship is being tested by a 3rd character. This made it very relatable as the characters experience trust issues and jealously. The subplot of Sun and Mork made the story even more endearing as it offers the usual Yaoi trope of a flirty seme and a flustered uke.
Acting
Non was extremely annoying and I think AJ Chayapol gave justice to this character. There were times that I had to pause the video because I just can't stand Non's sly tactics and Kao stupidity. Also, props to Pluem Pongpisal just for being too cute. ugh. lol
Music
The opening music is legit the best in Thai BL!
Rewatch Value
I would definitely watch this again, but I would have to make sure that I am mentally prepared for Pete and Kao's foolishness.

The plot was the biggest issue with the whole series. In every story, there is a "problem" that creates a foundation for how the plot flows. In this case, the problem was simply just Kao continuing to teach Non when he said he wouldn't. This was weak/insufficient and made the PeteKao storyline fall flat.
SunMork, on the other hand, seemed very rushed. Despite my preference for PeteKao, I think the series would've been better if they cut out some PeteKao scenes and spent more time focusing and developing on SunMork. Their relationship felt rushed and I kind of lost interest towards the end.
However, there were many parts that I absolutely loved and enjoyed. There were a lot of heartwarming scenes and I liked how this show dealt with the actual difficulties of being gay and wanting acceptance. Not many BLs have done this and honestly, more should.
The production value was typical for GMMTV (Meaning it's a lot better than most BLs out there). The acting was good for the most part. It's obvious that TayNew's chemistry is strong and both of them played their roles very well. Newwie especially was a delight to watch as he portrayed Kao's emotions so well.
On the other hand, Gawin (Mork) & Podd (Sun) don't seem to have any chemistry at all. Gawin's acting is a little awkward and it feels as though he isn't comfortable with playing a character in a gay relationship. Podd's acting was fine for the most part and I truly feel he should get more recognition.
The music was okay. I actually ended up really liking the dramatic intro music, despite it not fitting the show's theme at all. There really isn't much for music other than that.
In conclusion, despite its flaws, I mostly enjoyed watching this show. Got frustrated at the characters during many occasions (especially Non and Kao), which actually shows a good reflection of how well they played their roles. Plus, this show has a good ending which made it worth watching. I would definitely recommend it if you love BLs and are running out of shows to watch.

I watched the first episode of this when it started airing but I wasn't feeling it so I put it on hold. I thought this was going to be one of those overdramatic love triangle thing and nothing gets properly resolved.Whew boi was I wrong.
Dark blue kiss feels different compared to other BL dramas as it portrays a realistic view on a gay relationship that has its conflicts and misunderstandings with the addition of not being out to the public. And in this drama, they do address how hard it is to come out as it is not the same for everyone.
I think what I liked the most about PeteKao is that they balance each other well and they have actual proper conversations. In other words, they know how to communicate with each other. This also shows that they've dealt with many problems/fights before but what matters is they sit down and talk about it. Communication is key!!! (Other BL dramas, please take notes)
Hmmm... SunMork... I mean I love these two but the way their relationship bloomed which was that night at the bar.... maybe it's just me... it lacked a bit of climax?? (Well, we all know another kind of climax happened hA ha ha) Anyway, it's good that Mork and Sun found each other as they both need some warmth in their lives.
The female characters??? I love them all!!! Sandee, Manow and Kitty?? The holy trinity omgg I absolutely love that the girls were written in a way that is likable to the viewers. We don't get to see that very often in BL dramas so that's quite nice to see.
Pete's dad and Kao's mom??? They're the parents that everyone wish to have. It's super heartwarming to see how supportive these two are with their children. It makes me feel kinda bad for Non... this kid deserves a better guardian that will lead him to a better path. Non's dad should realise that the way he treats his child is no different to how you forget and leave something in the oven to burn. It's okay to discipline your child as long as you're not overtaking their freedom in having their own aspirations and goals of what they want to do. Teach them, talk to them, be with them but don't act like you're never in the wrong.
Overall, this was like a breath of fresh air. I wish to see more BL dramas written in a similar way and not just "I'm not gay. I only like ***".

So another GMMTV allstars production wraps. I was really excited for Dark Blue Kiss when it was announced. I had seen Kiss me Again and liked the Pete and Kao pairing and the hint that Mork and Sun would be more was really motivating as I have a love for the rough and tumble character getting together with the rule follower. The GMMTV allstars can get me to watch pretty much anything though so I was here for Tay.Pros: I really enjoyed the Mork and Sun storyline, it felt very natural and any issues they faced felt very grounded in reality.
Rain was also a pro for the series as his character wasn't just comedic relief, even though he was very funny. I worried that his love plot was going to take up too much time in the drama that already had 2 couples to deal with but it never did and I was grateful.
Cons: The production/editing team was on crack when they created that intro. It was ridiculous and felt so off from the rest of the series. A better intro would have done wonders for my score.
The OST was lacking. I personally liked the theme for Mork and Sun but other than that the other songs were just loud.
GMMTV has a habit of making communication issues the storyline for couples that are already established and have a second season. I know DBK is based on a novel but because we had already seen PeteKao it felt like it was there usual brand of not being able to write realistic conflicts for established relationships.
The timeline was another con as it left a lot of viewers confused about what the order was within the kiss series. Did Kiss the Series happen and is it canon? Are Sandee and Thada a thing? Why didn't the others know about them?
Overall:
The series was decent and short so it has a good rewacth value if you were a fan of the Sun and Mork relationship. I think the secondary couple was what kept me invested week after week. The acting was great the whole time and While it wasn't perfect I did really enjoy the series.

Final thought, definitely recommend this. I hope they'll make another story between them. Dark Blue Kiss ended the story in a great way. I love it..

"Dark Blue Kiss" made me laugh, made me cry, and made my heart go in a variety of directions. While most BL dramas (even the really good ones) shy away from discussing real LGBTQ+ issues, "Dark Blue Kiss" explores the stress, fear, and unfair consequences of living in the closet. The story is also a good lesson-learn on not trusting slimy "innocent" people and controlling one's temper. It also explores the slow and adorable process of love growing between people who care for each other. The show also features some tongue-in-cheek and slapstick humor to keep the feels from getting too intense.
This review wouldn't feel complete without briefly mentioning one of my favorite scenes. The show's visual storytelling is en pointe at certain moments, particularly during a two-location scene that's comparing the different things that are happening to Sun and Mork. It's so artistically done, and is really refreshing to see in a genre that normally relies on long, single-perspective scenes. It is confusing, and bittersweet in an extreme sense of the word.

Waste of Time
It's just another drama about a toxic relationship with issues that could easily be worked out through communication and acknowledging insecurities, but that doesn't happen. My biggest peeve is that they(Pete/Kao) are supposed to be adults, but they are acting like children who don't know how to talk about their feelings. The main couple had me bout ready to chew bricks. Pete is selfish, insecure, and doesn't care how his actions affect Kao; Kao is a coward and a pushover, who acts willfully ignorant and doesn't have the balls to voice his concerns to his boyfriend. I ended up skipping through most of the interactions between the main couple and only watching for Sun and Mork because they actually had the maturity to talk out their issues and work on their behaviors.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
A waste of actors
This review is intended to offer you my opinion of the series. It is not intended to sway you from watching it as I believe that we all have different tastes and opinions. I personally like to review stories to give people a different perspective.The story was the continuation of Kiss Me again the Series. I don't think for a minute this followed Kiss Me universe and I say this because the main couple, Pete and Kao, are totally different from Kiss Me. So personally, I wouldn't count them in the same world.
The acting was sub-par to what I know some of these actors are capable of doing. Tay Tawan, who I find to be one of the most adorable Thai Actors out there, was the only one to give his character some nuance and development, but even so, in the end, the script fell flat. Newwie, who I found so cute in Kiss Me again and in Sotus, lacked so much acting in DBK. The whole puppy/doe eyed and sometimes flat facial expressions distracted me from the drama. Initially I could empathize with his character, but after a while I just couldn't connect with him and it had a lot to do with his acting.
For the second couple, I wasn't really into their story, but it was watchable. Again, this was due to a very juvenile script and the Telenovela treatment they got.
The supporting actors were honestly great. Even Non (AJ) was so good at being the "villain" that some people really hated him, so I say great job to AJ for being good. I mentioned in the comments before that the real MVPs in this drama were Rain, Kao's mother and Pete's father. I found them to be really well casted and I liked that they supported each boy.
Music was bad. And I mean, really bad...and it's a shame because I learned a few episodes back that the director was the same from He's coming to me (an amazing BL drama and I highly recommend it) and in that drama he and his team picked the best and most nostalgic music to go with the script/story. I would have loved better music for DBK.
Look the drama wasn't horrible, but it really lacked a lot. It could have been a great BL if they had left out at least 70% of the Non drama and focused on Kao's coming out. I find that would have been a better story-line. I still say it's watchable if you have nothing going on and want to waste some time for a new BL, but it was disappointing to me considering how much hype it was getting.

Edgy and on point....
This drama actual has true love feels. This show felt more realistic than you could imagine.It had all the right emotions, laughter, love, tears, the chemistry between pete who is super hot and kao is very well depicted who love each other despite the vast differences, pete being rich and kao middle class. This romance is scene is more focused than the adult scene, and also a bit more mature compared to the other drama. Non role was well played despite his behavior between pete and kao.
The chemistry between sun and mark were also interesting and cute, his continuing nagging and shouting was his way of exploring his love to him.
I did binge was this and actually watched nore then once, cuz it was really that good.
I loved pete possessive of kao, he was really cute and did have his reasons. Kao at times was a bit difficult but understanding of his situations.
It would be awesome if sun and mark got there on drama, as they were really interesting.
Overall this drama was really good

Sun and Mork are show stealer
April 12, 2021Dark Blue Kiss gives a realistic perspective of what couples face. It has it flaws but overall it was a pretty good show to watch.
As much as I love Pete and Kao, Sun and Mork really stole the spotlight for this show. I feel like they showed better development and growth. They also revived the show from doom in my opinion.
Pete and Kao's storyline were a bit condescending in my opinion. As much as I love their chemistry, I could feel the frustration between their misunderstanding. There are certain points where I just wish these two would open up more and which they did. But there's so much part that could have been cut down from their misunderstanding and show more growth of their relationship.
Pete's Dad and Kao's Mom are some of the best parents to exist in the BL world. I love these two so much, I wish I could be like them if I decide to have kids in the future.
Sun and Mork, hands down strong asf chemistry. Their flirtation just gives me the feels. Like every time Sun tease Mork, HOLY MOTHER OF DAMN. Sun really loves him. Of course, they had misunderstandings as well and I got frustrated about it too. But I was so interested in their storyline more than our main couple. Sorry, not sorry!! Also, their moments on the last episode got me wheezing especially when they talked about their respective position. I be like hmm y'all be like that huhh...
Also, we stan a supportive friend group!! They are the best, they really help each other to communicate. They are actual squaad goalssssss

I wasn't aware of Kiss Me Again or Kiss the Series prior to watching Dark Blue Kiss. Having been a couple for almost 3 years, we get to see the love story of Pete Kao continue to evolve and grow. I love Tay Tawan's acting as he was playing the exact opposite of his character in person, and he delivered it perfectly. The chemistry between him and New is off the charts here. The story holds true to what a gay man goes through in life; staying in the closet, coming out to friends and family and the fear of acceptance from society. The side story of Mork and Sun adds to the drama, with them going through different sets of challenges and conflicts. I also loved the OST sung by Tay and New. The music in this series is strong and of good quality.
I always enjoy a story that ends happily, and DBK did just that. I hope to see DBK Season 2.
