I have been so excited for Perfect 10 Liners since I saw the GMMTV 2024 showcase. I loved all the pairings and characters, so I’m eager to see how their chemistry will unfold as the series progresses. I must admit, though, I was a bit surprised by the 24 episodes length and the fact that it’ll air over six months—talk about a long journey. One main hope is that GMMTV please keep the pacing tight and ensure balanced screen time for all characters.

First-year student Arm (Force) joins the exclusive “Perfect 10 Liners” group, led by his mentor, Yeepun (Emi), who assigns him the popular Engineer Cute Boy page to manage. The two clash online when Arm unknowingly posts a forbidden photo of third-year Arc (Force). Unknown to Arm, Arc was charmed by him at first sight, setting the stage for an unexpected connection that grows as they spend more time together. Meanwhile, Gun’s (Santa) chaotic first day at university leads him to Faifa (Junior), who he mistakenly believes is his savior from a mishap. Eventually, he realizes Faifa’s twin, Yotha (Perth), helped him. Due to Gun's fear of the dark, Yotha offers to switch dorm arrangements, creating an unconventional yet supportive friendship. Lastly, Wine (Mark), a new addition to the group, finds himself guided by Faifa instead of his assigned mentor. After ending his relationship with Toey recently, Wine confides in Faifa about his feelings for her older brother, Tor. Faifa, ever helpful, lets Wine practice his approach on him, giving Wine the confidence to pursue Tor eventually.

Honestly, the first thing that came to mind when I started watching was, is this We Are 2.0? The school setting with the boys feels familiar, yet there's a subtle difference this time. I began watching, as expected, from GMMTV, and they started with a flashback, which works well here. I enjoy the simple, easygoing storyline that doesn’t dive too deep, but it’s been a great introduction to each character. The introduction of ArcArm (ForceBook) is straightforward yet effective. I can already sense that something big will happen soon with the enemy-to-lover trope.

I look forward to sharing my thoughts on each episode over the next six months. Let’s enjoy it together, ending this year and starting the next on a high note.

Side Note 1: The JJ and Poon duo is so delightfully chaotic; they had me smiling the whole time in this first episode.
