This was pretty bad

This is the first time I couldn't finish watching a BL series. I honestly don't even know how I managed to watch up to ep 7. The plot sucked and the main characters were both equally as dislikeable.

So firstly we have 'perfect' Daonuea who apparently everyone likes and wants to be with. Then we have Khabkluen who is not only portrayed as having low emotional intelligence but is also terrible at communication. There is also Typhoon who just seemed desperate and would not take no for an answer. The final member of the love square is Phaphaeng who also begs for a chance to be with Daonuea as well. Everything about this storyline was flawed.

The acting was also mediocre at best honestly. Maybe if they had well-developed characters then they probably would have portrayed their roles better. I tried to watch the last episode to see whether the many questions I had were finally answered but by ep 7 I had lost all interest in this series and decided to drop it altogether.
I wish the actors of this series all the best in their future projects, especially the rookie actors. I have enjoyed quite a lot of GMMTV's BL series but except for maybe Not Me the series and A Tale of Thousand Stars, their recent BLs have been the same recycled storylines. This was disappointing.

+ I got curious and decided to watch the final ep and what a waste. I truly feel bad for the actors. Never has a series made me want to tear my hair from frustration. I feel bad for the harsh criticism but those are 8 hours of my life I won't get back.

Had the potential

I didn't hate this series. The storyline was interesting enough and had so much potential. This potential however was wasted with zero development in the characters. You can't deny ZeeNuNew's chemistry but love scenes are not enough to keep the viewers engaged. If you are looking for a hot series then this BL is perfect for you but in my case, I also like a well-established plot which was non-existent in this series. The beginning had me intrigued but in the end, I was left with a lot of unanswered questions.

Overall the acting was not bad but for the main role, I feel like NuNew could have delivered more especially for his crying scenes. I'm in love with his voice though and I'm excited to see how his future acting roles and his promising career as a singer will unfold. Zee is an experienced actor so he portrayed his role as Lian quite well. Then we have Nat who I adore so much but unfortunately, his acting wasn't impressive either. He too has the potential as well as his partner Max whose portrayal of Hia Yi could also have been better.
My favourite couple has to be Nuer and Syn! I was more interested in their love story and I'm looking forward to their own series.

Even though this series has some intense and hot love scenes from Kuea and Lian, every other aspect of their relationship was a mess. Firstly there was no communication whatsoever and they both didn't seem to know or understand each other. Healthy communication is an important foundation for any relationship.
With Khondiao and Hia Yi what exactly was their narrative?
The ending was especially illogical. So not only do they barely know anything about each other but instead of actually spending time talking and resolving their issues they prioritise sex. A lot of aspects of this BL are a little immature and distasteful, it could have been written better.

Current favourite BL

Where exactly do I begin? Looking at some of the negative reviews makes me wonder whether we are watching the same series. But then again I can appreciate that we all have different preferences.
Honestly, before Kinnporsche came out I was quite frankly tired of watching thai BL series. I kept seeing the same storyline being recycled over and over with the same dull high school setting. If you are someone who enjoys those conventional love stories then Kinnporsche likely won't be suitable for you.
I think a lot of people don't quite understand that this BL series is not your ordinary BL series, it's a mafia-inspired BL series. It's not your typical love story and it isn't meant to be an ideal representative of what love should look like. If you want to watch a series like that then I would recommend Bad Buddy series.

I am in love with everything about this series from the comedic elements to the drama, action and intense romance. The actors have done an outstanding job bringing the characters to life and the cinematography is amazing as well. I'm intrigued by all of the couples and I find myself watching previous episodes over and over until the next episode is aired on Saturday.
So would I recommend this series? Absolutely. You have to be aware though that it is for mature viewers so the love scenes are very intense. It also admittedly has some pretty toxic scenes that I'm glad are mostly resolved later on. It's witty, passionate, daring and captivating. I'm in love with this series and cannot recommend it enough.
I can't not mention Jeff and his incredible singing talent 'Why don't you stay' is one of my favourite OSTs ever. When the last episode airs I will be back to give my final thoughts but for now, this series has become one of my favorites.

+ Wow. What an incredible series. All the couples had great storylines. We had KimChay with their bitter-sweet romance, KinnPorsche with their passionate romance and VegasPete with their intense romance. I miss this series and can't wait for the second season. Such a well-written series ♡

A healthy representation of love

Honestly what's not to love about this series? Although the enemies to lovers storyline has been overused in BL series, the portrayal of PatPran's love story is what sets it apart from the other BLs. OhmNanon's chemistry is second to none and you don't have to know much about acting to see how much time they both devoted to understanding their roles. The rest of the cast was great too and Pa and Ink's love story was cute as well. This series is such a positive and healthy representation of love. None of that toxicity and PatPran had great communication with each other which was very refreshing to see too.
The only criticism is maybe the excessive ads which were a little off-putting honestly. If I were to rewatch the series I would definitely skip those parts but other than that I loved it.

Such a dreamy series

This BL series is well-written. It is definitely my comfort series. Everything from the music, cinematography, and ambience was just so beautiful, warm and peaceful. All the actors were great too. I was very impressed with Mix, though he wasn't as experienced of an actor as the rest of the cast, he still portrayed his role as Tian pretty well.
By the time it got to the end I was tired of Tian living his life for Torfun. I'm glad he was able to move on and live his life for himself.
Overall this series is not only magical and dreamy but Tian and Phupha 's love story is unique and beautiful, this BL will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Great acting and interesting plot

This series is charming and all the actors are outstanding. I am really enjoying watching this series and I find myself eagerly waiting for the next episode.
Usually, when I watch BLs, especially high school BLs I find myself cringing at certain parts. But with this series, I love how the friendships are portrayed in the most natural way. Santa and Earth are impressive actors and their chemistry is impeccable. The intimate scene in ep 12 is so beautiful and has to be one of my favourites ever.
I am so excited to see how this series will end and I will be back to complete my review then.
I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who wants to watch a lighthearted, cute romance.

First BL series

This was actually my first ever BL series. The very first time I watched it I loved everything about it and was obsessed. However, when I rewatched it, it didn't have the same impact anymore. Maybe it's because by that point I had watched many other great BLs which in turn had raised my expectations.
Firstly, this series DRAGS for no reason. For more than half of the series, Third is mistreated by Khai who is supposed to be his best friend. Even if they were not lovers you still shouldn't be that shitty to your friends. Those episodes were hard for me to watch because I just wanted to shake Third and tell him that he deserved better. When Third was finally starting to move on I was very happy for him. Of course, that's when Khai starts to realise how much he values his friendship with Third. Not only that but he all of a sudden comes to terms with his feelings for Third too. This shift for me is the problem. It just felt unnatural and a little rushed. The screenwriters could have cut a portion of Third's heartache (which lasted for way too long anyway) and invested a few more episodes into actually developing their love story.
Other than that though the actors themselves were great. Gun is an incredible actor and Off's acting wasn't bad either though in their recent projects you can see how much he has improved. If you want to watch a series that will pull at your heartstrings, make you laugh out loud and scream internally from frustration then this series is for you.
Also sidenote, Un and Two were really cute but Bone's love story with his teacher was a miss. It was not only distasteful but very unnecessary too.
Overall this BL is better than most.
