Make It Right (2016)

In Your Heart: The Prequel

I want to make the creators step on Legos for 10 years!

Why do I have to say, "If not for the rape . . ." That shouldn't be something I have to preface a drama with! This is just In Your Heart all over again. The side couple has such great scenes later when it comes to caring for a partner's sexual health, etc. But it is virtually impossible to see anything as positive with the black cloud of sexual assault hanging over everything.

I don't really have much else to say except that they fucked this up so bad, and they didn't need to. What was the reason?! WHAT. WAS. THE. REASON. Actually, I do know the reason. Because it shows society that the drama isn't necessarily approving of Gay people (also to frame them as being predatory): "He's just like that because . . ." You get what I'm saying.

I have other things I could complain about, but I'm tired. Writing this review made me tired. This drama made me tired.

As far as the reason I watched this in the first place (the Bi rep), here are my thoughts on that: The ML, Fuse, is likely to be Bi. He seems to be in a state of simultaneously denying and accepting his attraction to another man though. So, perhaps Queer would be the best term for him.

It's worth the watch, even though I rated it quite low

Okay so I would love to give this Drama an 8 because it was quite endearing, however, objectively I can not give it more than a 7.

First off the cast: I only knew one of the actors from other series and it was quite interesting to see him this young. Overall the entire cast seemed quite young, however since their characters were pretty young too it made sense. They were all okay acting out their parts, but some parts seemed rather unnatural.. it got better the further the series advanced though.

Now for the plot: the series kind of gave me the feeling of a 15 year old boy trying his hand on writing a series... the Humor and story in itself seemed a little “childish” however, this is not meant in any bad way, since this was also the charm to this series. It seemed kind of pure and innocent (even though it wasn’t even that innocent) just some 15 year old boys doing what 15 year old boys do and experiencing love on the way. I watched through the entire series quite quickly since it was interesting and entertaining although terribly weird to watch at times.

I would recommend to give it a go.

MAKE IT RIGHT is a mixed bag for me. In general, once the story lines got going a bit, I was more involved, but I found myself skipping through some of the side aspects and not feeling invested in most of the side characters, which for me is not the greatest sign.

I also struggled a bit with the first act of intercourse between Book and Frame. You may consider this to be "spoilerish," but the truth of the matter is it's something that you should know going in, as it could be difficult to see for some (and it tells you nothing about what happens later). While I wasn't triggered by it, and I have heard that the intention was not for it to come across as it did, I can see how it could end up being horribly triggering to others. I was uncomfortable with it, and I wouldn't have kept watching if I didn't know it wasn't the intent (as opposed to in another drama here the intent is for it to be portrayed a particular way).

The music often jerked me out of moments, and this drama used some of the silly little noises at times that always make me feel like I'm watching a cartoon. I was invested in the main two characters, and the acting wasn't terribly poor (though it is possible I just got accustomed to it as episodes went on), but I still didn't fall head over heels for the show. I'll watch the second season, but I'm not sure I'd rewatch this.

Confused and disapointed

I watched Make it Right years ago, and I remember not liking it. I just finished re-watching it and I still don't like it. The acting is cringy and bad, the music is at times too loud and often times unnecessary. There are times when the plot is so slow and boring, there are these extremely long and awkward silent pauses in between lines it makes it hard to watch and makes the episode seem two hours long. I was disappointed to realize I didn't like the main couple together, I didn't they had much chemistry together. Book and Frame were more believable as a couple. I'm confused as to why so many people find this series one of the best in the industry.....

Good things first, the first episode you can say that the story is really interesting, the cast is good you can feel that everyone has a unique character so its not boring, I have watched up to episode 6 and so far so good.

The bad things in my own opinion are: the development of the story is quite slow its not a bad pace but there are moments that it makes you feel excited at some point but the scene doesn't meet up with what you feel it ought to be, I don't know maybe its just me but who knows right? another thing is a bit personal for me, subtitles, where are they? haha. Episode 6 is already out but I can't watch it yet since I'm waiting for someone to translate it. It's not a bad thing but I believe Make It Right is reaching countries as far as Europe, so I guess having subs would really boost its ratings.

That's it for now, I'll post another after I watched the entire show, but at this point I really look forward to it and will continue to watch. Hope this helps!

Please be reminded that I haven't watched the entire series just up to the latest one and this review only covers the half of it (since there are 12 episodes). The purpose of this review is for what to expect, I will edit this on the future after the season finale. Thanks for understanding and reading.

TIME AND PATIENCE IS KEY FOR WATCHING THIS BL DRAMA.
This drama is sweet, has a lot of cute pairings and it's kinda enjoyable, considering you can ignore the awkward acting (since most thai bl dramas have noob actors this isn't anything new).
But what I really hated were the kiss scenes, they're hella fake. They hardly even let their lips touch the other person's lips or cheeks. NOPE NOPITY NOPE, VERY DISAPPOINTING.
The side couple outshines the main couple's chemistry but I genuinely hated how they came together (Frame x Book)

There's long stagnant moments that may make you cringe but if liked 'Love Sick The Series', you'll probably like this better. I found myself comparing the two because of the whole school based, multiple pairings and amateur acting, girlfriend cheating, but I prefer this over that any day.
Bonus : they have a lesbian story as well!!

This was, I think, the youngest cast Thai BL I’ve seen so far. Which made some of the more explicit scenes rather uncomfortable to watch, to be honest. But the actors were amazing, that’s true.

Here I’ll probably once again go against the fandom grain, so to speak, because I liked TeeFuse more than FrameBook. FrameBook seems to be, from what I’ve seen here on Tumblr, the pairing of this drama. I don’t know. For me personally, they didn’t click as much as TeeFuse. And Tee in particular.

It’s true that I didn’t like how Tee started his relationship with Fuse. Sure, Fuse verbally agreed to have sex and he was very enthusiastic about the whole thing - but he was also very drunk. There is that. But I liked that Tee owned up to that. He apologized and took full responsibility and got out of Tee’s way, he didn’t try to pursue him further. No, afterwards, it was Fuse who needed to win Tee over again. But there was this minor fact that he had a girlfriend and, well, basically he wanted the cake and eat it too. Which kept hurting Tee a lot. And the actor, Boom Krittapak, played it incredibly well.

Make It Right is an immature but lighthearted teen love story, which is refreshing compared to adult dramas which sometimes have darker plots. There are also cute and playful jokes about perceived gay relationships without relying on homophobia. However, the premise of the show is based on a sexual encounter that occurred without consent and there is a huge issue with consent throughout the show.

The acting was ok, sometimes it was good and sometimes it was stale. For example, the actors did a great job portraying people in a relationships but the kiss scenes were awful.

The music was great, I really liked the theme song.

This is a trainwreck

Where do I even begin? This show has no other redeeming qualities than the cute shirtless boys you'll get to see every now and then (and admittedly: there some VERY cute boys in this show). There is no storyline worth mentioning. Seriously... Who wrote this dribble? There is no general direction to the story, there is not even one memorable conversation between any of the characters, characters are introduced that have no connection to any of the other protagonists, there is no point and no conclusion to most of the scenes. The two main couples get together as a result of rape... Furthermore the acting is mostly cringe. There is no chemistry whatsoever between any of the characters, which makes everything that happens all the more unbelievable. And then there is the incessant product placement. I can understand the need for monetization and I can usually see passed it. We see this form of advertising in most of the Asian BL shows, usually they are introduced discretely. This show, however, seems to be more of a continuous series of product placement with a very lightweight storyline woven through, to the point where it start to have an adverse effect. By the third episode I started developping an absolute dislike of the products that were advertized. Avoid this show. It is a complete and utter waste of time.
