What I like/not like list
I erased major spoilers.I rated 4.0 the story because is nothing new, but I honestly think it's well executed and has a couple of fresh elements!
I liked:
- The gap between the first impressions we got of Lom and how actually he is and how smitten and nervous he is.
- Nuea's efficency and overall his good work.
- REALLY loved that is the saphic couple and Yiwa the ones that have the "main character vibe"!! Everything happening because of her plans, not the gays?? amazing.
- Really loved how loyal Lom is to Yiwa. Yes, he's in love and he thinks Nuea is the love of his life, but Yiwas is like a sister to him so of course he's gonna hesitate and take his time to tell Nuea the truth.
- The side characters are fine and I really liked Im's protective rant.
- That the main couple almost don't have a height difference.
- Surprised with the graphic but not explicit sex scenes, they felt very real and in line with the general line of the story.
Not fond of:
- It's so short that I'd like to have more developing in every aspect of the story (they did good with the time they had tho).
- That they met as kids, ugh, so tired of that trope.

Cute enough!
I am not a fan of most of the stories coming from MAME novels, so I started watching with very low expectations, but in the end I can say that I had fun.The story is very simple and very predictable, so the main charming point of the series is all about Nuea, Lom, and their constant pull toward each other. Seeing Lom getting more and more bold with his flirting and Nuea trying not to fall harder and harder for him was fun. The story also keeps a steady and rather fast pace, which helped me a lot with not getting frustrated or bored while watching.
The actors all did a good job with what they had. My biggest annoyance were the character monologues, which is something that I can't stand: I'd rather have the characters show me their true feelings naturally through actions and expressions rather than have them recite it out loud like a school assignment.
The couples are cute. They're not hyper romantic and memorable couples, but they have good chemistry and their moments together are really cute.
I don't have anything especially bad to say about this series, I just didn't find it to be anything other than reasonably entertaining. I can recommend it to you if you have some spare time for a shorter series!

Understanding
While I understand the real way Thailand works with it being a merit to obey your parents, I wish the story would have had Wa and Lom standing up for themselves and directly telling their parents the truth. The hiding who they were for 13 years was a but much. There are toxic parents and it's time for many cultures to show that. Any parent that pushes their kid away or makes their kid afraid to tell them their sexuality is toxic. Parents don't have to agree with any choice their kids make, but they should always be a person their kid can be honest with. We don't have to agree all the time to be understanding. While it's not the same, my spouse and I had to deal with parents that didn't understand us. While my spouse's side was against us being together and fought to end us, my parents chose to stand beside us regardless of the fact they were not fully supportive. Regardless, WE had to be brave enough to stand. I wish more dramas had a storyline like that.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Been there, done that!
So, I can safely say that, as far as MMY series, or MAME's stories are concerned, they are more or less plotless. Starting from TharnType(spectacularly redeemed by Mew and Gulf's scorching chemistry) to Don't Say No(JaFirst were so cutely enamoured with each other) to Love In The Air(Masterclass in kissing), Wedding Plan does not fail to keep up with it's brethren. However, Wedding Plan is the louder, cringier and more annoying version of the above mentioned series. I found it so hard to believe some parts of it that I almost gave up.I understand parents, I understand traditions, I understand expectations, I also understand that it is sometimes tough to live up to all three, but a long, convoluted and unnecessary plan like this not only was likely to hurt the couple involved (Sailom and Yiwa), but also their partners (Nuea and Marine respectively).
Although the plan is originally Yiwa's the fact that Sailom went through with it, was absolutely ridiculous, especially since he had met Nuea, considering that Marine knew about the plan, but he did not.
Yiwa and Marine, both pushed and permitted Lom to tell Nuea the truth, but he chose to continually prank Nuea, which made them finally coming together quite unbelievable.
I will mention some of the things I liked.
1. Sunny and Pak have pretty decent chemistry, which comes across in the interactions between Som and Nuea.
2. I loved the relationship between Nuea and his family. I have always noticed that people in the provinces are more open and accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, unlike people from the capital.
3. It is the first time I have seen a boss who is so friendly as well as supportive, and I liked that very much, the way she stood upto Lom, when he came to look for Nuea. She defended her employee very well I must say.
4. I also liked the fact that most of MAME's series have such sassy 'bottoms', who never bqcked put of standing up for themseves.
5. The PrapaixSky wedding (although the English vows were a bit much) and the PhayuxRain proposal (the sparkling eyes, the quivering lips, the absolute trust and love that these two have for each other is worthy of a few pages worth of reviews)
What I did not like at all:
1. The crappiest plan of all . It was annoying and pointless.
2. The noisiest and the most horrible and most difficult mothers. If Type's father was a nuisance, then these two were out of orbit, with their screaming and childish tantrums.
3. Yiwa and Marine had sweet moments, but they were sadly not believable. I didn't feel any passion or chemistry.
4. After watching MAME's series, hot scenes are a thing, but LITA took them to another level (Boss and Noeul's tongue lick is one of my most vivid memories, that is going to live in my head rent-free forever!), so Wedding Plan falls a bit flat. I will not say, it's not hot, but....(I think you will understand)
So, all in all, while I will say you can watch it once, if not for anything else but the incredibly good looking people around. But if you are expecting a classic like TharnType, an emotional rollercoaster like Don't Say No or a masterpiece like LITA, then this one is definitely not for you. Move on and get a life... Or better, do what I did,. Read a LITA fanfic on Wattpad!! :D

Its Cute
I mean I liked it. I understand there is some flaw in the storyline but Im willing to overlook it because i loved Namnuea and Loms chemistry so much. If Sunny and Pak are in another BL together, i would watch it for sure. I would say watch it once and form your own opinion. I dont feel like I wasted my time watching it though i know there are much better BLs out there. And if you have seen Love in the Air, you'll get to see Payu, Rain, Sky, and Prapai breify. So I guess you can consider it a sequal.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
made it work
starting of drama is slightly wonky but i get why it was needed, but I believe that with the collaboration of a few more writers the storyline would be a little less problematic(?) like the synopsis makes it’s obvious that this is a story worth making but the storyline itself is questionable yet intriguing enough to want to watch the show till the end.otherwise, the series excels in its scenes, cinematography, and music. The actors truly brought depth to their roles, which played a pivotal role in keeping me engaged despite some morally questionable moments. The authenticity of their performances, from subtle eyebrow raises to genuine smiles, was captivating. Unlike many dramas, the crying scenes didn't come off as contrived or forced.
Additionally, the cast, including the leads, are undeniably attractive, which added to the overall appeal of the series.
holy also the last two episodes are so heartwarming i loved them. all of actors brought immense justice to the character they played
cute yes
heart string tugged: defo i dont write reviews unless every heart string is pulled to the point i need to profess it every possible where

The first Memindy show I’ve ever enjoyed watching
I’m not a fan of Meminy shows. They never get me… This show was pretty good tho. It had some potential but it wasn’t bad. Even tho I don’t like Love in the Air, I would’ve enjoyed it if they gave PrapaiSky and PhayuRain a bit more screentime. Same for the lesbian couple (I forgot their names). The actors of the two main character had such good chemistry and their acting was so good. The show was also made very nicely. I’m not an expert but this show was pretty addicting just because of the cinematic (if that’s a correct english sentence ?). I enjoyed watching it while it was airing but I don’t think I would rewatch it.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

It's better because it is only 7 episodes
*happy ending for both couples*Firstly, i liked the flow of the story. Mame does not disappoint in this regard. The NC scenes and plotline flowed naturally for a 7-episode series. However, I think the NC scenes are too thirsty? They are sooo rushed that I felt they are more lusty than in love.
The actors' acting also needs improvement. I felt throughout the series that they only have one to two expressions. A weird smile and a talkative persona as if the script is memorized.
Liked how the plan went smoothly as it does not sit well with me if they continued with the marry plot thing. I just think that it was necessary as there really are some parents who needs those heavy measures to help finally understand their children.
This is a cute series, but definitely not one of Mame's best. Still, better than tharntype though. Hoping to hear more on the main couple and see more improvement from them.

Another BL With NO Communication!
The idea behind this series is creative, original, and noteworthy. And its execution has elements of brilliance, poignancy, and also agonizing frustration that in a few spots I threw a proverbial rock at the screen. Why? Because it is the same issue over and over in these series, especially Thai BL series. COMMUNICATION! To be more precise, exchanging information in a clear and precise manner forthrightly. If this had been done near the beginning of this story, we could have had a real classic on our hands. Instead, it became yet again another ‘safe’ Thai BL series with a good premise but less than memorable delivery and a whole lot more angst than is absolutely necessary.You can read my full review of this series at BLBliss.com.

Sono partiti da una bugia e sono finiti in bugia.
Sin da quando uscì il trailer potevo percepire che sarebbe stata una storia difficile da gestire, poi personalmente la trama in sé sa di “storia problematica” per questo ero indecisa se guardarla o meno e quindi mi dava delle vibes di alto tradimento ahahah.Devo essere sincera, sin dall’inizio ho chiamato Lom “coglione” perchè sì, è un coglione e uno di quelli pesanti.
Sono dell’opinione che lui in primis avrebbe dovuto dire la verità e quindi essere sincero sin dall’inizio perché questo ha influito parecchio sul modo in cui vedevo il tutto. Durante la serie è stato difficile guardare loro tutti carini sapendo che uno dei due doveva sposarsi e anche dopo aver saputo la verità ho comunque percepito questa cosa in quanto si okay è successo quel che è successo ma comunque fai fare a Nuea la parte dell’amante e questo non è assolutamente bello, non lo merita per nulla.
Lom è un coglione per questo e altro perchè sinceramente se sai com’è la tua situazione ma ami molto Nuea, due sono le opzioni:
1. non ci provi con lui così da non fare del male nè a te che a lui o comunque se in questa maniera ti fai del male te lo meriti perchè impari a fare ciò che vuoi della tua vita. Per quanto ami i tuoi genitori è anche vero che ti hanno costretto a fare tutto senza decidere per tutta la vita, dico io non ti scocci? Non ti viene voglia di ribellarti o almeno confrontarli facendogli capire che la vita è tua?...Penso che il matrimonio sia un passo importante e anche se fatto solo per far tacere le famiglia implica doveri legali tra i due coniugi. È importante e per questo Lom avrebbe dovuto combattere affinché potesse sposarsi con chi vuole.
2. fai il sincero sin dall’inizio.
Se proprio Lom non riusciva a lasciare andare il suo amore per Nuea, come minimo avrebbe dovuto essere sincero sin dall’inizio dicendo “senti, mi piaci e pure tanto. So che è chiedere tanto ma ti spiego, in realtà questo matrimonio…..” perché seriamente non ci ha messo nulla a dirgli che gli piaceva Nuea quindi cazzo ci voleva a spiegare anche la situazione.
Facendo così ha fatto solo soffrire molto Nuea e mi è stra dispiaciuto per lui soprattutto quando le cose sono peggiorate andando a letto assieme perchè ovviamente Nuea pensava di star contribuendo ad un tradimento e ciò non è qualcosa che voleva fare. A sto punto mi chiedevo seriamente quanto Lom amasse Nuea perchè se ami una persona in primis non la vuoi vedere soffrire per mano tua e secondariamente non lo rendi un fottuto amante.
Nuea è veramente una bellissima persona, non merita assolutamente questo titolo ed è imbarazzante che lo abbia a causa di una persona che lo ama. Assurdo. (è vero che nessuno ha mai chiamato Nuea “amante” ma in una situazione del genere è ovvio di principio che lo sia diventato).
Quindi nulla Lom amore mio, ti amo tanto, tu ami tanto Nuea (da non dimenticare la frase “sei perfetto così come sei”) ma cazzo quanto sei coglione.
Mi ha fatto piacere che poi abbia deciso di riprendersi Nuea e in quel periodo ho trovato un mood di vita Sun e ho amato lui e il cugino di Nuea, ho anche amato come la famiglia si prenda cura dei suoi membri e come la madre di Nuea abbia dato la possibilità a Lom di spiegarsi.
Alla fine li ho amatissimi ma purtroppo mi aspettavo un finale del tutto diverso.
Vedendo il trailer dell'ultimo episodio ho avuto altissime aspettative perchè ho amato un botto Yiwa e ho pensato al dramma che ci sarebbe stato, una figata. Ma alla fine non è stato granchè. Il coraggio di Yiwa è stato assurdo, l’ho amata tantissimo anche se è scappata del tutto, in effetti mi aspettavo che scappasse solo quel giorno creando caos e che poi si presentasse a casa sia lei con Rine che Lom con Nuea a dire la verità e combattere per il loro amore. In questa maniera penso sarebbe stato molto meglio. Non ho odiato del tutto Lom che si impegnava a fingere la parte dell’uomo affetto da un crepacuore, è stato divertente, ma comunque speravo nella verità. Sono partiti da una bugia e sono finiti in bugia. Purtroppo dobbiamo accettare questa fine.
Riguardo poi Yiwa e Rine, molte persone si sono lamentate di come non sembrassero nemmeno una coppia e di come sembrasse tutto forzato, beh penso abbiano ragione ma alla fine non vengono neanche tanto mostrate quindi non mi frega più di tanto.
In generale, la trama in sé è problematica e voglio pure capire Lom e Yiwa ma cazzo un minimo di onestà all’ultimo la potevano mostrare, non solo aprirsi ai loro amati.
In ogni caso ho amato la comicità, i colleghi di Nuea e tutto l’amore e la carineria tra Nuea e Lom. Penso che Wedding Plan debba avere almeno una possibilità di essere visto.
+apprezziamo l'estrema bellezza di entrambi gli attori principali, cazzo quanto so belli.
+EPISODIO SPECIALE:
Penso che l’episodio speciale sia stato veramente carino, in effetti ci mancava il loro matrimonio.
Devo dire la verità dicendo che in primis ho odiato come Sailom abbia preparato l’intero matrimonio senza farlo sapere a Nuea e come abbiano costretto Nuea a sposarsi in fretta e furia, non credo ci fosse tutta sta fretta di sposarsi velocemente. Vabbè che a Nuea non ha disturbato la situazione ma bho io mi sarei incazzata così tanto da annullare tutto, seria. In sto caso l’unica cosa bella è la proposta perchè se poi mi costringessero a sposarmi il giorno dopo aver detto sì con una location e tutto non scelto da me, mamma mia farei un casino assurdo arrivando anche a ritirare il mio sì. Sono fatta in questa maniera, penso che queste tipo di scelte debbano essere prese insieme, dopo la proposta c’è tutto il tempo che vuoi per prepararti insieme alla tua metà, non vedo come mi debba muovere perché lo dici te, sarei veramente uscita pazza.
Per quanto riguarda il matrimonio è stato carino ma bho mi aspettavo tutto più diverso, meno tradizionale e più moderno, cioè giacca e cravatta in un bel ristorante di lusso con tantissimi ospiti, ma capisco pienamente il perché di questa cerimonia privata. Mi ha fatto piacere che la madre di Sailom sappia della loro relazione ma mi è dispiaciuto non sia stata aggiornata sulla situazione, sarebbe stato bello se avesse saputo del matrimonio e avesse usato quell’occasione per mostrare finalmente il suo supporto, però capisco anche che se lo avessero detto a lei, probabilmente avrebbe preteso chissà quale cerimonia in grande mettendoli a disagio così come ha fatto in precedenza.
Vabbè oltre tutto ciò io scioccata ampiamente per il bacio tra Sun e Ryu e la loro dolcezza infinita, li amo veramente tanto, sarebbe bellissimo vederli come protagonisti in una serie o uno spin-off, qualcosa del genere. Mi piacerebbe vedere anche la loro storia completa, tutto.

I hated the homewrecker vibes!!
Some may call it romantic – Sailom makes plans to get closer to the guy he likes, and pursues him via these different (planned) encounters.But you can also think of it this way – it’s quite creepy for someone to pursue their wedding planner??The bulk of the first few episodes is Nuea desperately trying to get the couple – who are clearly not interested in marrying each other – to provide him with all the information he needs to plan their dream wedding.
Nuea, who is hopelessly attracted to Sailom, is faced with an uphill battle: 1) Plan a wedding for 2 people who have no idea (and possibly don’t quite care about) what they want, 2) DON’T FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE’S TO-BE HUSBAND.
I wish the plot didn’t involve an elaborate lie just so I could properly enjoy the budding relationship between Lom and Nuea. Especially since the chemistry between Nuea and Lom was pure fire.

Good idea, bad execution
I'm going to preface this by clarifying that I'm not a fan of Mame's shows, but I liked loving the air and I knew both shows were in the same universe, so I wanted to give this show a try. I would say that the first two episodes are very well done, they look very promising and I enjoyed them a lot. Now, after this, the development of the story becomes a little bit messy for my liking, especially because the way that the issue of the fake marriage gets "resolved " could've been done way better (and way sooner). In repeated occasions I found myself wondering why Lom wasn't being honest with Nuea; that would've saved them way more time, and would've given more space to show how their relasionship developed. Maybe this is a personal interpretation of the show, but by the end of it I still didn't know how the couple got together without knowing practically anything about each other...Lastly, the actors are playing the main couple have good chemistry and look good together, but at the same time I feel like there's something off. I still can't pinpoint What it was, but there was a spark missing when they were being lovey-dovey on screen. To me, a good acting is when the actors make me believe 100% the characters love each other to the moon and back, and here I could see that they were trying very hard to do so, but there was something missing.
About the good parts, the side couple was really lovely and I enjoyed everytime they appeared on screen. The wedding planners were a family, and I loved how one of them was fiercely protecting Nuea. Although Lom's family wasn't the best, Nuea's was supporting enough for both of them.
Oh and my favorite part, the LITA cameos were amazing and had me giggling and kicking my feet throughout those 5 minutes of screentime they had.
Overall, it was an entertaining show and something nice to watch if you have free time to spare, but it's not one of my go-to recommendations.
