skip the first two episode, watch the other four

This is a series of six small episode featuring some very popular pairings from Thai BL. They are stand-alone episodes and only run about 15 minutes or so. Like everyone else, I'm going to just rate each episode and go from there.

EP.1 'Pretend to Love' starring Ohm Thitipat and Fluke Natouch as Pierce and Typhoon respectively. I don't know who thought this was a good idea. Pierce was an insensitive asshole and, as nice as it is to watch Fluke dial up the tears, all I wanted was for Typhoon to have more agency in his own story. I'm not sure what the writers were going for here, but they missed the mark by a mile. My Score: 3/10

EP.2 'Just Friend' starring First Chalongrat as Moo Joom (a cat, apparently) and Ja Phachara as Xin. I don't even know what to say about this. What the f*$k? sums it up pretty well. It wasn't clear at all what was going on. I have no problem with people being affectionate with their pets, but that scene in the bathroom? That went beyond "being affectionate" and into something else. I was so disappointed that this is the story they chose to give First and Ja. What a shame. It's better than the first episode, but still weird as all get out. My Score: 2/10

EP.3 'Willing or Not' starring Max Rujeerattanavorapan as Titan and Nat Uareksit as Mini. This one brought the whole series back around to good again. It was funny and charming and sweet and lovely to watch. Titan was so enthusiastic about teaching Mini judo and supporting him in the competition and Mini was all for trying to Titan save his club, albeit a bit reluctantly. My Score: 8/10

EP.4 'Just one Life' starring Lay Talay as XiaoPing and Yoon Phusanu as Peam. Continuing the rise upwards, this is another great episode. In this one, Peam has just been dumped via text and XiaoPing takes him through several rituals at a various places (a buddha statue, a maze, a mountain, a bridge) to try and change his karma and get his girlfriend back. This one is very sweet and, although I personally would have preferred Lay to act with Perth Nakhun, Yoon and he do have great chemistry and this episode is wonderful. My Score: 8/10

EP.5 'Dear My Star' starring Jimmy Karn Kritsanaphan as Night and Tommy Sittichok Pueakpoolpol as Mekhin (Mek.) I'll admit I'm biased about this one, because Jimmy and Tommy have had my heart ever since 'Why R U?' and I am on tenterhooks waiting for 'Middleman's Love'. I also love the fact this is set in 1995. For someone who was a teenager in the '90's, this was a heartwarming trip down memory lane. Night and Mek having to call each other over the landline and not having any privacy because there was only one in the house and it was out in the hallway or lounge where everyone could get to it....yeah, I felt that. This episode is what pushed the rating from a 5 or 6 to an 8 for me. My Score: 9/10

EP.6 'Imagine You' starring Kimmon Warodom Khemmonta as jedi and Copter Panuwat Kerdthongtavee as Ray. This was another odd one, but nowhere near the levels of WTF as episode 2. Mostly I was just left wondering if Jedi was talking to Ray through the VR or if Ray was imagining everything. Either way, it doesn't actually matter, because it's Kim and Copter and I didn't realise I'd been missing them so much on screen together until I saw them. My Score: 8/10

These all are what they are and, for the most part, they're an enjoyable little break from sometimes not-so-great real life. You can sit down and watch with the beverage and snack of your choice and just escape for a while. I'd still skip the first two episodes, but the last four are definitely worth watching and you wouldn't be wasting your time.
