One of the best BL series I've seen so far
This has been the first live action BL drama I ever saw, and I really got in love with it.The plot is original and well written; some of the actors are not so good, but the main roles are strong and well played. The characters are well defined and have an interesting evolution over time. Oh, and Tofu is really extremely "kawaii"! <3
The plot twists are often unexpected, yet they still make sense. For example, I didn't like the ending, but I understand the reason why it was written that way, so I'm ok with it after all; and the series was overall touching and fun to watch, so I'd recommend it and I think I may as well rewatch it sooner or later, maybe with my loved one!

There is so much I could say
This story, despite an incredibly wacky start, has so much richness to it. It's about abuse, trauma, grief, mental health, the weight of traditional values and expectations, corruption, activism, and the healing power of accepting queerness.The ending is not for those who expect a picture perfect ending, but it's not as sad as you might think!
There is so much to love about this series from it's themes, to it's mystery, to the wacky talking furniture, to the wonderful acting, especially by Um Apasiri who wonderfully plays one of the most complex roles ever given to a BL mother.
I implore you if you haven't to give this hidden gem of a series a chance. It's a big time investment, but it's such a unique story that's so worth it.

Pathetic show stupid story line...damn depressing....although its. Not about being depress but writer puts illogical things without any real emotions...for example ..main lead currently with his boyfrd and writing story on his x all the time missing his first love ....though he is already in love always talks about his past love in front of current boyfrd I mean dis series is totally shit stupid storyline ..totally wastage of time...I have seen so many bl and I love bl dramas so much but dis show totally pissed me off am not saying because there is sad ending but emotions are illogical .main lead used to love both current and x at a same time on the top of that he always ask current boyfrd not to get mad because he still miss his x I mean what the fucking shit is dis ..writer only want to make viewer emotional without any strong storyline..totally..pathetic...Was this review helpful to you?
Strange three way relationship with a bear
I have managed to binge watch the series. I am in two minds about it. I liked that it was different took me through different emotions. Touched on a lot of issues within family like sexuality, jealousy, anger and trauma. It was a good effort. I know a lot of people don’t like the ending at least there is mixed reviews about it but i found the ending fitting is some ways and weird and strange in others. The strong feeling being weird. To be frank its almost as though it ended with a three way relationship between Tarn, Nut and Tofu the teddy bear.WHAT I DDINT LIKE-
- Nut and how he was as a son to his mum. His mother was clearly ill but he had no regard and treated her harshly through most of the series. Pretty much ignored her.
-His treatment of Tofu, Tofu was used as physical and emotional punching bag and it did nt change through the whole series . I found this disturbing, its clear he had issues but all he did was lash out.
-The lack of consequences for the guilty parties is ridiculous.
- No real explanation on how on earth Tofu looked like Neung?? I mean come on.
- WHY DID WE HAVE TO HAVE LESBIAN RELATIONSHIP JUST THROWN IN THERE??
Would i rewatch- nope. Is it work investing 16 x1.5hrs of my life somewhat, OST unmemorable

I can't believe I wasted 1440 minutes of my life to watch this shit. esp ep 16 too much cgi going on I was laughing in pain as I remembered how I was made a fool by watching 2gether the series. I ask myself yyy the disappointing part of this is that the main character is an inanimate object I was thinking that since Tofu had a connection with Tatarn then he had to beat Anton imagine my shock to realise they are two different entities had it been that the teddy bear went back to its original body it would have made absolute sense by what the hell is this crap waste of time. The ridiculous part where the teddy bear was running away from the dog and still had the energy to pick up a slippers as a m************ Cinderella going after his Prince charming then the so-called 'Cinderella' watches his Prince charming getting together with his ex until they are going to get married then he does this kind of weird voodoo shit in a dream he comes back to being human again they make out really I waste one and a half hours every day to watch this f****** episode disappointing 0 stars.

Abusive
This series reminds me of Chinese BLs Toxic to the end implying that living an alternative life style brings you nothing but grief. Giving this series a high rating despite the abusive story line is not ok to me. The ML gets treated like dirt after he has done nothing but try to bring joy to others to the end. SMH, I would have been happier if they showed the bear in a thrift store having a second chance at a better life. Its not ok to reward those who are selfish and toxic to those in their lives.Was this review helpful to you?

Liked it a 100 percent until episode 7
I was really enjoying this series. It was very cute in the beginning. I reallly enjoyed the character's especially tofu. The side couple are adorable. It has tongue in cheek humor.The reason i rated it the way i did is because of the abuse of nut's mom and if tofu. I think it takes it a bit to far and it made me uncomfortable. Mental health is such a delicate situation and i think in this case it was poorly done. The ease it took for Nut to punch tofu was unacceptable as well. If it wasnt for those two concerns i would have rated it a 10.

It was a golden BL in this Era??
First, this BL has a lakorn Splash, which is quite unique on those BL that is plotted in universities and engineers and doctors on which is quite boring and cliché. The chemistry between the actors are really good and their acting skills were really great. I’ve noticed that some people doesn’t like Nut’s impulsive character but, for me, it was valid because of his nightmarish past. Also, TOFU IS REALLY REALLY CUTE!!! My 1 hour and 30 minutes every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night wasn’t wasted. This BL lakorn deserves more recognition from the people. I really pity those people who didn’t or haven’t watched this drama because, they’ve missed this ONE OF A KIND BL DRAMA. ✨💗💗🧸Was this review helpful to you?
I love the chemistry between Nut/Tofu character.Kensit /Song the 2nd ''couple'' is growing on me as well (just loose the ugly glasses Kensit).
Music is top notch. Highly re-watchable tv show, especially the fluffy love moments.

a lot of abuse is going on here
i don’t understand why i keep watching this. i guess i am just curious to see how the story ends. but shit, this show is very upsetting. nut is so abusive, physically and emotionally, and his hot/cold attitude is so sickening. i need that man in therapy NOW. i’ve been giving him the benefit of the doubt for too long. tofu is very adorable. i wish he knew that there were other people out there who could love and cherish him way better than nut. i’m praying for nut’s mom as well. hope she gets betterWas this review helpful to you?

Unbearable
The main caracters are unbereable, only the mother is a little relatable to me.The way Tofu let everyone treat him like a fool gets on my nerves, all the time been abused an treated like a nuisance by his loved one.
Unnecesary drama for q very toxic relationship.
I could not realate or get pulled by the story in fact i had to fast forward to so many scenes that made me drop the series.
The actors are very good looking Incan give them that, otherwise not worth my time.
Actually I can say not at all my cup of tea.
Really, really slow and painfully boring to me.
Sorry

Not an ordinary love BL
Originally, I didn't want to watch this series at all. Sixteen ninety-minute episodes didn't particularly appeal to me, but since my pen pal friend was convicing me about a year that I should watch it, I thought I'd give it a chance. Partly also to give me a break with this XD.The first episodes didn't excite me in any way, in large part because of Nut, who was really not easy to find my way to and like him. But then the flashbacks came and the more his past was revealed, the more I understood his behavior. Nut seems like an complicated character at first, but his past gives meaning to every bad word that comes out of his mouth. Tofu, on the other hand, is a total cutie. They are like yin and yang with Nut.
Teddy bear differs from other romantic BLs in that it is not just about a romantic line. In addition to love, various other topics such as domestic violence, parental homophobia, toxic family relationships, separation and many others are dealt with. Things were happening in the background all the time, which at first seemed to be unimportant, but eventually fit perfectly into the main storyline. Finding out that Song is actually Nueng's brother, that Prim knows Tarn, the assault investigation, the extremely annoying neighbor whose eyes I'd rather gouge out... All of this was directly related to Nut and somehow fit into his story. If even one detail were missing, the whole story would change from the ground up.
I knew how the story would end, so some things weren't that shocking to me. It made certain things make sense to me before their meaning was revealed, and what some people feared, I looked forward to.
Despite all that, the last two episodes got me. During them, all the emotions in me alternated, but in the end it still ended with joy. The ending was exactly what this story called for.
