Enchanté (2022)

Do not watch after balcony ep

The storyline does not feel familiar after learning who is the enchante. I have watched dozens of BLs, but haven't seen a worse ending than this. They could have k*lled the leads and it would, honestly, would have been better. Rewatch value stands for the primary episodes, where their chemistry still exists. That balcony ep made me comment positively on how this serie was progressing and no, I have never been let down this bad. Last eps were outright disrespectful to the viewer, destroying the whole theme, adding surprises to keep people engaged and both chemistry&acting flying out of window. Actors are new to the industry and one of them is better than the other. Only one character carries the show and yea, that is pretty much how this show receives a still avarage score. I sometimes find myself wishing for a cheating plot, rather than this careless, meaningles, pointless end. They had so many things to explore: trust issues, reasons, school projects... Instead they created new superficial plots and unplanned topics. Anyway 10/6 because theo is a nice name and akk looks like my crush- otherwise this show is a solid 4.

A good watch, until the mystery was revealed...

First of all, it was a good series. Filmography was also a pass, albeit not enough to be commendable as a film major...

STORY
The story was great until the Te-Te guy (as Akk so randomly calls it) was revealed.
After the revelation of the mystery, it's as if the character development for both the main leads and supporting actors just stopped. And were awefully rushed and crammed to fit the final episode.
It's like they rushed to find a reason to get one of the main leads back to France, so the show can forcibly justify the "French trope" of the theme...

It was all good, until the continuity went in shambles.
It's like a professional writer was working on the ending then suddenly had diarrhea so he let his amateur assitant finish the ending

ACTING/ACTORS
The actors had great chemistry and they could've done better I'm sure... Their eyes alone did the acting... They did a great job

MUSIC
I always believed that a good soundtrack helps boost a series' popularity and value...

REWATCH VALUE
Well... I wouldn't watch it a third time

A good beginning, but then it kinda went ok?

I was intrigued the first time I saw the trailer, and decided to watch it when it was completed.
THE COMEDY AND THE CHEMISTRY IS NO JOKE. THESE TWO ARE VERY GOOD AND VERY AMAZING AT ACTING ETC.
I was very very very into it, the relationship Akk and Theo had was also something refreshing for me to see. Maybe it's just me, but the way these two characters interacted - liking each other but are acting how bff would act either way - feels somehow natural.

As everyone would agree, Akk is the best of the best in this story. For me personally, Theo was good as well, but only before it was nearing the end. The story got good, and it was kind of obvious-ish who Enchante is. It didn't really bother me as much tbh.

I wouldn't say the story is bad, but I was a little disappointed how Theo always make Akk being the one to chase him and make the big decision to be with one another (At least that's how I see it, sorry if I'm wrong about this). The last few episodes just make me like Akk wayyy more than ever. Theo's personality of wanting a happy family and trying to push his parents back together - I get that he wants his family to be like it was, when it was happy, but he has to realize that life doesn't always have that happy ending.

I also kinda get why he would leave Akk to follow his mom because, well he doesn't want his mother to be alone, but dude, Akk has always been the one doing the brave moves (Although Theo is the one pretending to be Enchante to make Akk confess I guess?) Theo is lucky Akk likes him to the max that he even willing to study his ass off to go to France(? I forgot oops) so you two can stay together.

All in all, I wouldn't say DON'T WATCH IT, but more to like, WATCH IT IF YOU WANT TO because it's pretty ok to me :D

Expected Plot Twist but still Satisfying

As my headline states, the plot twist seems to be predictable but the storylines planted bombs to confuse the audience which is at some point proved to be believable. Thanks to the actors who summon waves on the clear water and me believe there's a whirlpool underneath.

The only thing I don't really like on this is the inclusion of as much characters as they want. It would be more interesting if they do include a character with complex personality.

Overall, it wasn't the best from the production company but worth the time to watch on maybe two or three rounds.

If you're craving something sweet!

Enchante is the kind of drama you could watch without giving much of a thought. It doesn't have a 'strong' plot and is quite of the cliche side. It is indeed filled with a lot of fluff and I would recommend this as some sort of filler drama you watch when you are too stressed, craving for something sweet like I've mentioned in the title.

What I liked:
-The fluff, it has an adequate amount of really nice scenes between the leads.
-The friendship between the two.
-There was not much of any serious misunderstandings or stuff.

What I didn't like:
-The plot line is very basic... it's something like receiving a mysterious note and finding out who wrote it.
-The characters were a little too bland or not that deep as I wished they could've been.
-Acting...it wasn't bad tbh but not the best either.

Overall if you have nothing else to watch go ahead. I watched this right after a thriller so this was kinda refreshing for me. Liking this drama purely depends upon how you approach it. Do not expect much you'll not be disappointed. You'd be able to finish it in one night 🌃.

Good up until the last two episodes

This show was one of my favorite shows until the last two episodes. I was so disappointed at the end I won't lie to you. Akk deserved better. The show wasn't anything spectacular, but i really loved it. Up until episode 9, where theo started acting like a spoilt brat. I understand him getting a lil upset at akk for not telling him about his parents, but i also think that akk was not in a position to tell him. It was his parent's responsibility to tell him that. also when theo said he was going to France, i got so upset. All in all, Akk deserves better. he did not deserve all that.

A sweet, focused and simple romance we needed the most.

After 12 weeks of the roller coaster of emotions Bad Buddy gave me, all I wanted was a literal return to normalcy. I wanted one of GMMTV's traditional bls. And Thankfully I got the whole experience back with Enchante. From the beginning till the end, this series draws you not just with the mystery of who Enchante is, but with Akk and Theo dealing with their feelings for the other. Despite being newbies, Force and Book pulled off a debut drama success very few could do. The Story was Simple yet interesting, The Acting was excellent, The OSTs were beautiful and the whole show was splendid. I absolutely loved the series references to the Famous French story The Little Prince and how they connected the two. I highly recommend this BL to everyone. And don't worry, unlike the ending of the story, Our little prince and rose reunite with each other. Alors qu'est-ce que tu attends? Commencez à binger cette série maintenant ! Enchanté

Their chemistry carried this series

When I started watching this show, I wasn't expecting too much. So, it was such a surprise when I started looking forward to every Friday to watch the new episode.

The chemistry of the main actors was what made me stay. Best Friends to Lovers' plots sometimes tend to be boring for me, but the actors did a great job. I got engaged in their friendship, so much so that I was happy for them when they finally got together. Chemistry in BL is key, and they have it. The story was good but kind of predictable if you get the hints. The CGI wasn't good, but it didn't bother me as much. Overall, all the actors did a great job in my opinion.

This BL could have been SO much better if the story was written differently. I felt the series was losing strength during the last episodes. Would I watch it again? Maybe, but just some scenes of the main couple. I loved their interactions. They were fun and felt unique.

It's not one of the best BLs, but it's not a bad one either.

Note: Akk is the BEST character here. Everything about him is great. He's comprehensive, rational, and the BEST FRIEND EVER. He's kind of dumb too but cute.

Sweet, lovable and aesthetically pleasing

I don't care what anyone says, this is one of the most consistently good Thai BLs.
The one thing everyone seems to agree on is that the casting and chemistry of the two mains is superb and I agree, they have one of the most natural and sweet relationships. Individually they also seem to be great actors who understand their characters well.
I understand some people's annoyance with the storyline or writing but I simply don't agree. I like that they're both capable of being smart and dumb, the decisions they make are understandable and in character. They're not perfect people and that's what made them realistic and made me want to root for them. Don't get me wrong, above everything it's a romcom so don't expect everything to be ultra realistic, but I feel like Enchante doesn't put on its rose tinted glasses as much as some other dramas.
Bottom line is the characters are logical, their feelings for each other make sense, their actions make sense, I like them as separate people, I want them to be together and I want to rewatch it. If that's the low bar I have for Thai BLs, so be it.

Not sure about this one...

Four episodes in and the only reason I think I'm still watching it is the chemistry between Akk and Theo (Force/Book) I'm finding the story about looking for Enchante amongst the 4 popular boys at the university rather meh!. I'm sorry but why is Theo so obsessed in knowing, its not like he wrote freaking sonnets, couple of sentences and he's hooked. I'm hoping things are going to get more interesting, but so far its not drawing me in much. If it wasn't for the seemingly effortless back and forward dialogue and playfulness of Force and Book, I probably wouldn't bother with this series. I really like the actresses who play Akk's sisters, they are great fun. Must admit the 4 actors playing the would be 'enchante's' haven't impressed me so far other than them all being pretty actors. But...but they haven't had a chance to shine so far, so we'll see. Phupha character (not actor) is the least interesting so far, I don't really like his slight aggressiveness when it comes to Theo, getting stalker vibes big time.
