Popular faces but mostly disappointing

I don't have a clue what is it with Thai BL and their obsession to throw at us somewhat popular BL couples on TV at every single opportunity without really thinking about the product they are placing.

The six short stories had really very little worth talking about. Out of the six, I think the story with Jimmy and Tommy (ep. 5) was by far the most successful in my opinion. We all know the great chemistry both guys have with each other since doing all the Domundi videos and then WhyRU. This time we get to see them as pen pals one living in Bangkok (Jimmy) and the other living in Chiang Mai (Tommy). What starts as a school assignment clearly becomes much more as we can really see their fondness for each other and wanting to read the letters or talk on the phone. Since it was set up as a story in the mid-90's it brought back some memories of having a pen pal, using a walkman, or the slow and tedious process of recording a mix tape the way Jimmy does it. Jimmy's interactions with his mother are also very nice as she plays the playful and nosy mother and Jimmy responds well to that. I was sad that these episodes are quite short as I would like to see more interaction between the 2 characters but it ends on a nice note.

Then, second place goes to the episode with Talay and Yoon. Thanks to YYY and Y-Destiny these two also have developed a good chemistry as well (not as good as Jimmy-Tommy, but good enough). So, despite the silly setup of the episode (Yoon's character has just broken up with his girlfriend and thinks he is unlucky in love and Talay's character likes him so makes him go with him on a road trip to make the spirits happy and bring his good luck back as an excuse to spend time together), I think the story works as we see Talay showing his shy side and also expressing some interest in Yoon's character without saying it out loud. Talay conveys his expressions quite well and Yoon takes on his usual calm demeanor throughout the episode.

Copter and Kimmon, Ohm and Fluke, Max and Nat and Ja and First are the remaining couples in the other 4 episodes. Kimmon and Copter also have such a great chemistry from working together for so long but the storyline of the episode, Copter winning a virtual version of Kimmon is a bit odd and while it was acted properly, it didn't connect with me the way these two have delivered in previous series. Ohm and Fluke is the typical "where is our relationship going?" episode with Fluke doing what he does best, crying or being sad, and Ohm also doing a good but not great job. This episode could have been way more intense but with the episode being so short, that went out of the window. Max and Nat are cute together but their plots are nearly the same all the time, Nat being the smaller, weaker, more frail of the two is always bullied or harassed by the stronger, bigger Max so barely any moments worth mentioning. And the final couple, Ja and First, are both cute but I really can't seem to like them (especially First), there is something about them or the characters they've portrayed so far that rubs me the wrong way and I can't seem to warm up to them. Plus the story of First being a cat is crazy and a bit weird that Ja "flirts" with a cat.

In the end, another Thai BL show created just for the sake of adding another one to the list and taking out the Jimmy-Tommy episode and some moments of the Talay-Yoon and Ohm-Fluke episodes, nothing worth watching again.
