I was contemplating whether or not to watch this series as I had some free time and I love binging series. There were a lot of conflicting reviews but I went in anyways. If you're reading a bad review, take it with a grain of salt. This isn't necessarily an amazing BL or one full of drama and action or gimmicks like other BLs. It's a lot more subdued, kind of gave me My Dream the series vibes. It's a quiet BL and none of the characters feel fake. It's all real, except a few plot points that do feel weird like Mork's illness. I think the main conflict of having someone opposed to their relationship is a little easier to understand since they are younger than a lot of other BL characters. College students or ones already in their workforce make it hard to see them as afraid of their parents. I have to say I wasn't invested as much in Mork and Tee as I was with Morn and Gord. That was a surprising couple that honestly made me smile the whole time even if it never went too far. I was originally going to give this a 7 because that's what I gave Sotus which was good but I didn't particularly like Kongpop and Arthit as a couple. With this I thought the show lacked a bit but Mork and Tee were well performed and likeable so I think this deserves an 8. Give it a try.

I saw the trailer about a month before the release and liked the OST as well as the familiar faces we all have come to know from other GMMTV productions. I particularly like Mond and was excited to see him in a lead role as he usually portrays a side character. If nothing else Boy For Rent proved that he has the talent and charisma to play a male lead (still holding out for that Kluay and Aichi spin-off).
Pros: I think the cast was strong on all fronts from the core 4, to their friends, to the villains, and the extras.
While Fon's Smile did get a little annoying at times, she had a tenderness that you couldn't help but love her.
The chemistry between Mond and Fon was off the charts. I could do with them being a go-to couple.
Cons: The Boy For Rent concept could have been expanded on more. We know that Kyro is part owner so then why does he work and not just get profits? Also, Badz having to work there for his sister was a good plot but it was weakened by the quick explanation. Kyro and Liz had family issues related to the plot but they were much better executed.
Overall: Smile and Badz were the better couple but Liz and Kyro were the more fleshed out characters.

I started watching because I saw a clip of Vier helping Love out of the water. Most male actors have a hard time playing a fenale in a male body but this was the exception. Male Love never felt like a guy was the character but it also didn't feel cheesy.
Pros: the acting was incredible. When Love is stuck as a boy in ep 4, her/his screams were so painful. Just like when Tangmo died infront of her/him. Tangmo was also a strong actor, you could see him start to fall for love and his heartbreak was subtle but perfect. Vier's guilt was well portayed as well.
The plot was another pro. Rather than take the general route where a guy falls in love with the guy only to find out he was a she and have a happy hetero ending, this had Tangmo like Love as a guy and embrace that and when he found out Love is a she but stuck as a he, he expressed that he didn't care what her body was just that they were them.
There was more than just romantic love expressed as Vier dealt with his fatherly love, Good and Love shared familial love, and friendship was strong.
Cons: The small con I found was that with only 8 episodes I thought it was a poor choice to have Nuclear have a love subplot. It did not add to the show and took time away. The first episode needed better pacing. The last episode was a bit rushed ad well.
Overall the show was a pleasant genderbend and a story that has everything.

I came to the show right after watching together with me (the prequel which aired second). The first few episodes were good though it was an adjustment as none of the side characters were present for this season except Yihwa who was the shoes focus. The more I watched, the less I wanted to see. The side characters (meaning the friends) were awful and the villains were ridiculous. Everyone was silly and bordered in stupidity while the main characters (Cho, Yihwa, Korn, and Knock) all seemed serious. It felt like the show didn't know what tone it wanted. Whimsical and goofy or romantic. As others have said there is a mystery element and a plot twist. The twist doesn't miraculously make the show better but by the time I realized I was in too deep I wanted to know who the bad guy was. Korn and Knock are a bit stiff here since the actors weren't as comfortable yet, I assume. The chemistry is still there though so if you want to watch just for them it is a tough but sweet ride. For those coming from together with me just proceed with an open mind and some caution. This is a big step down from together with me but worth it to see more of the characters you liked.

2moons was my first thai bl and it has a very special place in my heart. The cast for the original did a lot to solidfiy the series as one of the must see bl series. That being said circumstances did not allow that project to go anywhere and while it will remain in history as a classic.....that's all it will ever be.
2moons2 had a rough start when it was announced that the original 6 moons were out. People were upset, myself included, that the actors they had grown to love would be replaced by 6 unknowns. It was also revealed that the series would be a reboot, not a continuation of its predecessor, further upsetting old fans.
I was inititally hesitant to watch as well but as I saw that the cast and director clearly but effort into the production and they actually considered international fans by having a platform for viewing as well as subtitles on the same release date I gave the first episode a chance.
From the start of the series you can tell that every actor was on board and that every character would have some value to the story.
In the original series i did not really care for the PhaYo relationship but the actors sold me with this version.
Admittedly the weakest of the 6 moons were MingKit as they felt a little less full than the others but they were cute nonetheless.
Forthbeam was my favorite pairing from the novels and i had a hard time moving on from their original counterparts however the new actors were clearly ready to bring this pair to life and they did.
My one complaint of the show is that the music was lacking.
I really hope we recieve a third season.

This series has been a 6 month journey for me since I first saw Together with me and Bad Romance. I fell in love with the characters and had a few months to wait for The Next Chapter. While it didn't meet all my expectations it wasn't all bad.


Pros: The acting in this season was spectacular. Watching from BR to TWM to TWMTNC you get to see how the actors improve which is always nice to see. Max was the standout for me because he played broken like no one else.
You get the OSTs from all the shows and its fun to hear the different emotions and memories each song produces.
There's a resolution to everything.....good or bad is up to you.

Cons: The cheating was a gross gimmick but it made the angst and drama to keep the show going and it did produce some thought provoking actions.
Personally I never liked Farm and Bright so their ending was what upset me the most.

Conclusion: I hope we get another season or a special. These characters are once in a lifetime special and it would be a crime not to see them one more time where everything isn't clouded over by such sadness. Wedding special anyone?

I initially wanted to watch this when it was announced that sbfive would be part of the cast. I was curious to see if they would give them BL roles. A lot of people were upset that sbfive did not portray BL but that does not mean this was a bad show by any means. I enjoyed the plot that heavily relied upon the competition for who would win best intern and receive the job at the hotel. I liked that each character had their own motivations and the overall message of the show. It really proved how important friendship is. If you're interested in only BL this is not for you but if you truly support sbfive and want to watch a fun show give it a try.

One of the rare dramas that I give perfect scores on. I originally did not want to watch Theory of Love since Off-Gun was a couple I had never seen before and did not get the hype. I gave in because the english subs for the first ep were up very fast and I needed to kill time. I am so glad I did.
Pros: The cast was very important to me in this drama. Again, it is a lot of familiar GMMTV faces. I really like Earth and I enjoy seeing him in BL's as he has a certain vulnerability that he portrays that is so in contrast to his tough guy exterior. Off-Gun won me over with their performances and I am definitely a fan now. Particularly Gun, who was so good at portraying a heartbroken victim of unrequited love. As a film lover myself, the theme of film making was so interesting.
The subplots were GREAT. I liked that we had a surprise second BL couple as the trailers did not tease it at all and although their conclusion was very light and subdued (no kiss), the way it unfolded was so refreshing in the BL drama world. The unexpected ones are the best.
Cons: While I liked Bone and Pan's actors and their performance the whole subplot was .......pointless? I didn't hate it but I felt like it could have been without.
Overall: The story never had a moment that made me want to fastforward and that is almost impossible with me. The OST is amazing and has an English version everyone should check out.

I watched Kiss me Again before this as I wanted to watch the series in order. I thought it was interesting to see how this series would be considering the wacky plot. I wasn't disappointed. I usually prefer BL dramas and this one features a very small one but I am open to straight dramas as well and I like the leads together regardless.
Pros: The lead actors have great chemistry and they are excellent performers. Sandee and Thada's story was great. Had it been the only one this would have been a perfect drama.
Cons: The sister and her love story were AWFUL almost enough to make me hate the series. I did not care for her at all and felt like it detracted from the story.
Overall: I enjoyed the series for Sandee and Thada and the crazy plot twists that their story had. As a hispanic person used to spanish soaps, this felt so familiar and that was the best.

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.

I was very weary of starting My Engineer since the trailer did not really give it justice in my opinion but once I watched the first episode I was hooked. There's something incredibly attractive about the series from the moment it starts. The series is very organic, relationships develop on their own and there aren't many unnecessary plots needed to move the story forward that paint the characters in a bad light. Though there are moments of jealousy they are never made to be that one character is too weak to dismiss the affections of another. The characters in this fall in love and ultimately confess their feelings unabashedly and that is beautiful. I think GMMTV's reign is ending as the top BL producer.

As an almost exclusive BL fan I decided to give this a shot because I liked the leads in Kiss the series. That and I had free time and 7 episodes is a quick show. i rarely if ever give any series a perfect score all around but his one deserved it, everything from the story which had zero holes, to the acting which was intense, to the music which I hummed throughout the whole day, were 10/10.
Pros: The show was short so I didn't need to do all nighters or spend so much time on it. The story was compelling as much as it was funny. My family literally stopped what they were doing to watch it with me and they hate thai shows. The actors had great chemistry and put their all into their characters. Everyone stood out and created a response when on screen. There were no plot holes probably because it was a short and neat project. The production value was visible and ad placement was not as obvious as in other dramas where they do a 5 minute segment.
Cons: It ended? I was expecting Maewnam to wear the box longer than she did but again with only 7 episodes I guess they kept it a fair amount of time.
Conclusion: I hope to see the leads in something together again as I think their chemistry sells just about any story.

Tharn Type was a show that I did not plan on watching. Love by chance was great and I knew the series was in the same universe but something did not particularly attract my attention. I also wasn't invested in the fact that they were recasting certain characters that had already been introduce into the LBC canon such as Techno, Tum, Tar, and the titular Type. The first episode caused a lot of buzz around the content and behavior of Tharn and I was curious enough to see if it was really enough to warrant so much. I am glad I did as it sucked me in with the first episode. This series was close to perfect.
Pros: the ost for tharntype was on another level and it's been almost a month since it finished airing and I'm still humming it.
The recasts were well done. I enjoyed this Type more, not that Earth isn't an incredible and underrated actor, but he was very expressive and although his behavior in the beginning was infuriating, he had a gentle air about him that made him alluring. Techno's new actor was also great. I enjoy seeing the actor in other roles but this might have been his best yet.
Cons: the only downside i would give is that the plot became repetitive at points. Episodes 5 through 10 seemed to all be the same "Type gets mad at Tharn or hurts Tharn's feelings, he gets told he's being a jerk, he feels bad, he apologizes, all is forgiven" it would have benefited from less of that.
Overall: I enjoyed the serious and would love to get some more content.
