Very cute, very short, nothing too serious.

I found this while roaming through Korean BL web series. I really liked it.

The story is nothing too deep or serious, there are a lot of elements which sometimes made things feel kind of random. Obstacles were tackled quite easily and in a fun rather than a Dramatic way.
I liked both actors especially the one that acted the younger one, since in my opinion he did a really good job at portraying is rather positive character in the face of a rather “dramatic” fate.

I Can’t really say more about this, it’s just a short light hearted thing with some very sweet moments, some points didn’t really make sense, but when did a Drama ever fully make sense.
There was not much of a climax or anything, but it was just fine without it, I for one did not get bored.

If you’re looking for a short and sweet BL definitely give this one a go.

Difficult

I personally enjoyed watching it, but I would 100% understand some people not getting with this one at all (especially one of the two couples).

Let’s start off with the positive: the TengTeng/ Li Cheng couple. They were absolutely adorable. And if you really can’t get with the other couple (or don’t want to) just watch their scenes and you’ll be happy.

Usually I get kind of annoyed with Fuyoshi playing a (bigger) part in BL but I actually liked how it was included here.

I also very much appreciated the chemistry between all of the actors, even for the not so great couple.

Now the not so positive:
Let’s call them Couple B, the Drama already started off on the wrong foot with them causing me to almost quit on the first EP. It got a little better so I decided to stick with it, mainly because I wanted to see how their “main issue” would be solved/handled. Their trope is not something I’m very fond of, but I genuinely liked how Xing Si handled his feelings and the whole situation.
The other party involved (Yong Jie) however was an absolute disaster.
And more than controversial on so many levels.
I personally still enjoyed their scenes, because well I am a kinky person and I tend to separate things that happen in TV series from things that happen in real life. But since not everybody seems to be able to separate those two, this couple sends some really terrible messages, not even solely because on the things that happen, but mostly because of how they deal (or don’t deal) with them.
I guess everybody will have to make up their own minds about whether or not they can or want to ship/watch/enjoy this couple.

Another thing that kind of put me off about this Drama is how it was so extremely obvious that this is a BL made for h*rny girls/women. I don’t know how to describe it but literally everything felt like they were trying to feed into as many “desires” the female audience may have as possible.
Don’t get me wrong, since I am a great appreciator of everything cliche I was happy about most of the scenes (well they accomplished what they were aiming to do) but it just felt too glaringly obvious…

Another thing that is completely unrelated to the plot but really really bothered me is the camera movements in some scenes.
There was one scene that was supposed to be romantic that literally just made me nauseous because the camera was spinning for an unnecessary amount of time.
There were some other scenes where the camera movements were just terribly distracting.

All in all I personally enjoyed watching it and I would recommend at least giving TengTeng and Li Cheng a chance. The rest is a question of preference I guess.

Not a must watch

After finishing Make it right I jumped right into season two since season one kind of left a few open ends.. however this one was not nearly as smooth to watch as season 1...

Let’s start off with the acting: this was the only part that to me got a lot better... there were a lot less unnatural looking interactions.. kissing or “hot scenes” seemed a bit more natural and the acting wasn’t as much over the top.

Now the story: I don’t know but this one just kind of dragged for me... the storyline felt all over the place, there were a lot of scenes that just left me confused and could have been left out in my opinion... overall I got the feeling that the writers tried to make this season feel a little more mature as opposed to season one... however for me that just made it feel awkward... The drama created in this season mostly felt over the top and awkward and I think the only reason I pulled through till the end was because the characters had become dear to my heart in season one and I wanted all lose ends to be tied up.. (also most of the characters are quite nice to look at)

So if you’ve finished season one maybe consider watching this one to tie up most lose ends... but I wouldn’t get my expectations up too high.

What an absolute and utter mess

This whole story is all over the place. I don’t think I can describe how unhinged this storyline is without spoilering so just believe me when I say it is.

Never seen anything this random before.

The reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I did feel for most of the characters most of the time even when they did not make any sense at all. So acting was quite good and chemistry wasn’t too bad for the most part either.

But none of that really redeems the fact that it just got more and more random the further along it got and in the end I just really wanted it to end.

Weird plot holes and lacking chemistry sadly

Overall I enjoyed the majority of this Series. It did get a bit weird and confusing and illogical in the end.. but well with a time travelling plot that’s to be expected.

Interestingly enough I feel like both Gawin and Krist did great with their roles respectively. It’s just that the feeling of a very socially awkward 30yo in the body of a teen just makes for a weird feeling generally… krist did great at being exactly what he was supposed to be… I don’t see fault in the actors here but very much in the story itself.

While I did ship both characters together and I did feel like they liked each other, we were missing some actual vocalisation of those feelings from one side which made the whole thing feel a bit lacking in chemistry.. i feel like they could have put more effort into actually showing his feelings at some point, they were definitely there but the series just really didn’t give him a chance to show that.

The last Episode IMO overall was just unnecessary and could’ve been cut out of the series without any issues at all

I actually rewatched the first 10 episodes because I had quit at the end the first time around, I did still enjoy even the second watch though. Just the end really wasn’t all that giving.

watch if you don‘t like happiness and enjoy being stressed tf out

Where to even begin…

I am so incredibly conflicted about this one.
I don’t think I‘ve ever watched anything this stressful in my entire life.

Cast: cast was awesome, loved almost all of them in their roles and they (mostly) all played their parts so incredibly well, which made the whole thing even more stressful but well more on that later.

Story: this is different. As in it’s not your usual happy go lucky everything is fixed by true love and a kiss BL. Which a lot of people might appreciate. I am not so sure I do. If anyone has seen Skins(?) that’s the kind of vibe it gives.
A bunch of very flawed humans with some serious issues coming together, clinging to each other for some light and love I guess.
If that’s what you‘re looking for then please go ahead and watch this. If you prefer being happy and need that magical love conquers all sprinkle on your BL maybe skip this one, or you might end up like me… which you might either way.
With blood pressure going trough the rough screaming on the inside and outside at almost every one of these characters throughout all 12 Episodes.
I was not able to ship anyone throughout most of this, I did come around a bit towards the end, but still… like I said, possibly a tad too „human“ for me.

That being said, this was not bad at all. It was actually painfully good at showing what fucked up peoples life’s, love life’s and friendships might look like… I just don’t know if that’s what I‘m looking for in a series (at least rn, 15 yo me would’ve eaten this up).

I personally don‘t think I‘d watch it again. I did take out some great music for my playlists though :)

very confusing and strange but great chemistry

Kind of unsure what to rate this one. Overall I enjoyed watching and it did manage to keep my attention for the most part. But the plot was kind of strange. Nothing really made a lot of sense and the whole series kind of built on the unwritten rule that no one can just decide to leave that school, cause honestly most problems would be solved and for most of them it would be the more sane choice.

In the end most of what happened was predictable and what wasn’t just didn’t make a whole lot of sense…

The whole thing was saved by the great actors with great on screen chemistry. Who made the weird characters and stories a lot more convincing and emotional.

There’s an actual Plot!

This is one of the first Thai BLs I’ve watched that
Actually had a meaningful story outside of the romantic relationships. Overall I tremendously enjoyed watching this and felt a lot.

The reason I can’t give this more than 8.5 is that some of the story really did not make a lot of sense at all and was incredibly frustrating for a bit towards the end, the series kind of lost me for a bit there.

However, they did manage to pick me back up and I enjoyed watching till the end.

All in all this was a really powerful series that made me feel some things. It is more on the serious side though so make sure you’re up for that.

Nothing happens?

I watched this solely because I saw a reddit post where someone asked for the Drama with the least chemistry between main leads in Thai BL and like 60% of the answers mentioned this one.

I don’t personally think the chemistry between the actors is the biggest issue. It’s the story that doesn’t really pick up anywhere. Honestly I don’t feel like anything happens, and even when something happened at some point I was not engaged enough to care.
I only finished this cause I was doing something else during so it didn’t really matter that nothing happened.

That’s probably why their relationship feels off, cause it never really gets built at all in the first place.

Side couples were ok, at least I was sort of engaged with them lol.

4.5 stars because Perth was precious and given the strange role/plot he did a good job. Personally not a fan of the other actor in this one, but honestly he didn’t get much of a chance to show his skill either…

Big disappointment

I tried very hard to enjoy this Drama, sadly it didn’t really work out.

I wasn’t a fan of the main plot/topic to begin with but I decided to give it a chance since I really enjoyed Jasper Liu in this. While my original moral concerns didn’t turn out to be the biggest issue, there were some other huge issues that honestly just made this kind of a drag to watch.

The interactions between people in this Drama are incredibly inappropriate in too many instances. It makes it very hard to sincerely ship anyone when boundaries are constantly being crossed and contested. I excuse a lot of no-go behaviour in entertainment, but there where definitely some lines crossed here, generally the entire relationship between the two main leads seemed a bit one sided…

Another reviewer has mentioned that the plot is also incredibly repetitive and sadly I have to agree. It’s pretty much the exact same template over and over until it ends. There was a bit of a change towards the end but too little too late.

All in all I just kept watching hoping to get some kind of a rewarding feeling or sense of accomplishment in the end (and for some Jasper Liu facial expressions) but I am sad to say I was left unsatisfied and pretty disappointed.

The general idea of the story wasn’t too bad, it wasn’t executed very well. The soundtrack was a banger though.

I almost made this one my new favourite

I vastly loved this Drama. I loved all of the actors and their acting, the female lead was a tad awkward at times, but I still loved her.
This was a pure, beautiful and heartwarming love story. Following two people (and a couple more) in their journey through life and love. I rarely feel like I would want the relationship a Drama couple has, but I do really feel like I would want something similar to what this couple had. I honestly looked forward to every obstacle they were faced with because I wanted to know how they would solve it, they rarely disappointed.
My one point of criticism would be the lack of growth in the characters. Both of their mindsets and characters and their relationship with each other just kind of stayed the same throughout the whole Drama (not just the main characters, most side characters also stayed exactly the same throughout the whole thing). Which made the ending (or the facing of the last obstacle) rather disappointing, to me at least. The very last scene also seemed rather unnecessary, they could have cut the whole thing 10 minutes short, without changing much.

All in all I absolutely loved this and would recommend you to give it a try. I would definitely rewatch this one, just for the warm and fuzzy feeling it gave me.

I was positively surprised

After watching too many heavy Dramas I needed something light, brainless, bubbly and cute, which won’t cause me any major heartbreak. Contract relationship’s usually do the trick so I decided to give this one a try. And I really honestly have to say this Drama exceeded all of my expectations (that weren’t to high but still).

Cast: I was absolutely intrigued to see the main actor playing a main role, after really liking him in “Find Yourself/下一站是幸福“ and I have to say that man can honestly act. His role was entirely different from his role in the other Drama, and he acted it that well that at one point I actually forgot he was the same actor.
The female lead was also absolutely beautiful, from the outside as well as in her acting. The side characters all did fairly well as well.

Plot: to me the plot seemed like a preset for one cliché after the other, and while some of them were of course fulfilled, other parts actually left me positively surprised. I won’t go to much into detail as to how, let’s just say unnecessary Drama was kept to the minimum, but it still managed to keep me interested.
The side stories were all entertaining to watch, I did not get the “too much side story, to mask that there’s no development in the main story” kind of feel.
What did kind of bother me with the main plot was the way they didn’t give three f*cks about hospital policy. In terms of what information to give to patients and families, who makes decisions etc. You’ll understand what I mean when you watch the Drama.

In the end this was, what it was supposed to be, a fluffy Drama with little substance but a lot of love. So if you’re looking for something lighthearted to keep you entertained for a couple of episodes, definitely try this one.

Vastly enjoyed watching, with some small issues

A friend recommended this one to me, as always I did not read the description, so I had no clue what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised. I did read the description afterwards and may I just say, to me it kinda fails to deliver the essence of what this Drama is really about... A beautiful story of two best friends that (come to) love each other. The description makes it kinda sound like it’s all about finding someone to marry as fast as possible, but to me that does not capture the essence of this Drama at all.

That being said here’s my two cents:

Actors: I absolutely loved the actors, I liked how they kept the same actors for the scenes when they were still younger. The male lead was absolutely the star of this Drama, if I remember correctly the actor won a price for his performance in this Drama, absolutely deserved in my opinion. Like honestly he did such a good job at conveying emotions, even if all the other actors had been terrible, he’d probably make up for it.

Plot:
I don’t think I’ve seen this kind of best friend romance arch yet. I absolutely loved it. Starting from the fact that this plot is probably relatable to a lot of people, since most people have found their self in a situation were they were stuck in a platonic relationship with someone they were interested in romantically.. Generally I loved almost every aspect of the two Leads relationship and the change in their relationship, with one major demerit: how everything was solved/how they got together. There was this huge built up through out the Drama, making us anticipate them finally realising their feelings and getting together... however when the time finally came, to me it just seemed really rushed and kind of disappointing. That part was honestly kind of a blow to me. I would have also loved to see more of their beginning stages, turning from friends into lovers. However, even like that, I was still vastly satisfied with how their relationship progressed, I don’t think I’ve ever been that invested in two people’s love, I actually cried a couple of times, and I liked that this was not the: everything is solved within the last 10 minutes, giving the viewer no time to enjoy the happiness, kind of End.

Now honestly apart from the main story arch everything else was not really that special, the side love interests, to me were just really annoying, but I guess they were needed to make the story work.
We also have a lot of scenes with the families of the two leads, showing different kinds of love developing or existing, which was nice, but not as capturing as it maybe could have been. But all in all these scenes did well in guiding the leads through their experiences of life and love.
We also have some kind of “finding yourself” type of story arch, that to me however, was not really that interesting. But the love arch alone was enough of a storyline to me.

OST:
Imma give a special shoutout to the OST, since I loved the soundtrack of this one.

So if you want to be taken on a journey of love, sadness, some happiness, anticipation, maybe a bit of frustration and a couple of funny scenes, do give this one a try. To me it wasn’t the best Drama ever made but I do not regret watching it at all.
