A drama you must not miss!!!!!!!!
I recently finished watching this show and believe me when i say this show i literally wholesome. It has everything you need in a drama whether the story, music, acting ir chemistry.This show was a rollercoster ride for me especially in the initial episodes where there was constant anxiety of gun being caught by them. I even left this show after 2 ep because of the constant fear of gun being caught . Still finishing this show was the best decision ever. This show not only shows intense chemistry but also touches many social issues which are present not only in Thailand but also many other countries.
The actors of this series were really good to... They expressed every emotion to the point, their anger, hatred, innocence, fear and many more.
The music choice in this series was awesome just awesome especially in the fireworks scene of yok and last kiss scene.
What i really liked was that they didn't only showed fight and violence but also art as a way of protesting.
The ending was pretty satisfying for me. It was real . As the issues mentioned were quite huge. It was to abolish or change the system and if in the ending everything would have settled it may seem unreal. But they showed that the fight is still on and change is being made although slowly.
In the end i would like to say you must really watch this show and it has high rewatch value.
Forgive me if i said anything wrong as its my first review and also that english is not my first language.

10/10
Acting, Writing, Directing, Pacing, Casting, Soundtrack: Perfect. No notes.I put off watching this for so long because the whole "disguising yourself as your twin in a coma" plot description sounded a little too telenovela for me. I'm so glad I gave it a try, though. That is absolutely not what this show is about. Rather, it is about a group of young men exploring leftist politics and direct action. It's also not just a BL- the show would honestly work without any romance. However, queer relationship stories are woven into the themes of collective liberation, intimacy, vulnerability, and honesty, so the love stories don't feel randomly tacked on, either. Femme and kathoey characters are actually a part of the community and not played for laughs. The entanglement of oligarchy/capitalism/patriarchy/sexism/homophobia/ableism is explored thoughtfully. Characters with leftist politics aren't demonized for exploring direct action, including (non-lethal) violence and property destruction. They argue with each other over the effectiveness and ethics of their strategies, but without the black/white moralizing of a capitalist lens. It was really cool to see how the characters explore questions of justice and activism through their own lenses of diplomacy, law, and art.

Be Gay, Do Crime, Change The World
Yeah so I think this show permanently broke something in my brain and I have absolutely no regrets. Its reputation as a masterpiece is well-deserved; from the cinematography, to the music, to the acting... it's all absolutely fantastic.Gun is obviously brilliant as both Black and White, but I would like to give a special shout-out to literally everyone else on the cast - they all deliver absolutely devastating performances that genuinely left me breathless on occasion.
The story is a perfect blend of action thriller, political commentary, and queer romance which feels suspenseful, believable, and thoughtful all the way through without ever becoming repetitive or preachy.
It addresses power struggles, systematic exploitation, oppression, and the politics and logistics of revolution unflinchingly and highlights the practical and moral complexities of these issues.
Even non-violent retaliation against an oppressor can have far-reaching and often harmful consequences for the people being oppressed.
Solidarity and community are one of the most powerful tools for enacting change.
Art and satire as acts of rebellion can be both entirely inconsequential and immeasurably impactful.
Revolution often cannot happen peacefully, change demands chaos and force.
In other words, Nuchy went straight for the jugular with this show, and to devastating effect.
My personal favourite thing about the show, and I think perhaps one of the main reasons it has resonated so strongly with so many people, are the strong themes as of art as a vehicle for change and revolution woven through the story.
Eugene's dancing, Namo's murals, the protesters' songs, Unar's street art, Yok's Proletariat Expressionism showcase (which was an absolute punch to the gut for me personally and made me want to jump up and race to the nearest art museum) ... the ways in which the series showcases art as rebellion are myriad.
But the most impactful of them all is clearly Unar and Yok's storyline. Not only is it beautifully told and deeply emotional, it also lends a lot of depth to the show's uncompromising ACAB stance by showcasing the fallacy of trying to change a corrupt system from the inside out and how oppressive power structures can do almost as much harm to those they benefit as to those they exploit. A sort of nuanced "the patriarchy hurts men too"-type look into police brutality, which I personally appreciate greatly, even if I do wish they had explored this subplot and topic more in-depth.
In short this show is, unironically, a revolutionary work of queer cinema which, while it is not entirely without flaws, is more than worth your time. I highly encourage anyone who hasn't seen it to go and watch it right now.

if not for plot then for MUSIC AND VISUALS.
I decided to watch it after reading reviews and I know some people say the plot/storyline could've been better but let me tell you - the OST and the visuals (I mean actual views and cinematography not only actors ok) will make you finish this series in one day. I just find it so mesmerising how GOOD the music choices in this series are AND the way the camera captures all those beautiful moments, the views, the sunsets, the crowds, the city, the action scenes as well as the more "romantic" ones? Pure perfection and THIS is exactly what I needed after watching all those BLs with music that didn't match the vibe of its scenes. I really mean it. Storyline is something fresh, well-done and acting is also really really REALLY good as well as the chemistry between the main characters - it's all good. But what makes this series stand out is just like I said: music and visuals. It's just such a pleasure to see beautiful camera work along with the beautiful song that actually fits into the vibe of the series.Was this review helpful to you?
The chemistry made in heaven
Everything about this drama is perfect — the music, the cinematography, the story, the casting, the acting — it's truly a masterpiece. You won’t find another BL like this. Dramas like this are made only once. I’ve tried to find something similar, but most BL dramas are light rom-coms set in schools or universities.
Due to limited budgets, it’s rare to see a BL series that offers high standards in every aspect — from the plot and characters to songs, scenes, and acting. Even NC (non-censored or intimate) scenes play an important role. They help portray the depth and realism of the relationship between characters, making it feel more genuine and not just scripted.
Viewers don’t just invest their time in a drama; they also invest their emotions. They connect with the characters and feel like they're watching a real world unfold. That’s why such scenes and detailed storytelling matter — they help make the experience complete and emotionally satisfying.

this is and probably will be one of my favourites in the BL competition.i am absolutely in love and in awe about the story line. it´s something that is completely different than other series. it takes on serious matters and paints them how they really are. many of the scenes there touched me deeply.
the characters were so interesting and absolutely well portraited. actors did such a good job.
two songs from the OST remain in my playlist ever since i finished this series!
such good chemistry, storyline, directing, plot, cinematography.

an actually MEANINGFUL BL! Hard to find!
I was very pleasantly surprised with this show. Something I found with this show compared to many other Thai BLs is the fact that they balanced almost everything really really well. Almost all of the characters were well-rounded, it had a subplot commentary on protesting and justice which was very interesting and also very well thought out, the music was good (!!!), and the romance was good, not too much or too little. The only things I would change is I found the ending to be a little rushed (I heard there was some production budget issues or something), but it wasn't anything too terrible. I also found that some of the characters lacked backstory/felt a little flat.Another thing I loved about this story!! The female characters weren't annoying!! They weren't just there to bother us!! They felt like real people!!!! With their own lives separate to the main characters!!! very impressive for a BL lmao.
I found the premise really really interesting and this was a very well put together show. Good camera work, good acting, solid plot line, overall very solid. In terms of Thai BLs, the quality of this show is fantastic. I absolutely would recommend.

A MASTERPIECE!
I know I’m quite late to the party, but better late than never!I’m not new to watching BLs, but I haven’t ventured into Thai BLs until much recently. this drama has been on my plan to watch list since day 1. I had high hopes for this, both from the synopsis and from how much I’ve heard about it, and it did not disappoint! this is hands down a MASTERPIECE, beyond the boundaries of BL/mainstream dramas.
I’m not sure what I can say or write about this drama, aside from the fact that this left me AWESTRUCK.
the story, the cinematography, the acting, the writing, everything about this was perfect! I love it when we have BLs with an actual story line, one that isn’t full of nonsense, and one that leaves an impression. and boy, this had such an amazing story. and the impression it left on me.
the writing was so beautifully done. and every single character was so beautifully written, especially White and Sean. the way they so effortlessly fell in love with each other was so beautiful!
this was my first time seeing OffGun (I know they’re considered one of the OGs) and I could totally see why they’re so popular. their chemistry is just off the charts. I could feel every bit of love their characters had for each other.
the romance…oh my. the way Sean looks at White with so much love and adoration in his eyes. even when he got hurt when White disappeared, he forgave him right away (only to get punched by Black asffdggd, poor guy😭). and the way he agrees right away for any plans proposed by White lol bro is DOWN BADDD. and i love it😭the scenes of their first time together was just so incredibly beautiful. the way Sean asked for consent for every single he was doing, A WHOLE WALKING FOREST!!
my heart breaks for everything White had to go through for the sake of his brother. and the guilt White was feeling for not being honest with Sean and his friends, I FELT THAT!!
the acting…oh my..where do i even begin. OffGun are both such amazing actors. The supporting characters did a great job too. Gun did such a great job at pulling off the contrasting characters of Black and White! the scene where they finally reunited hit me right in the feels😭
back to the cinematography. loved the dark and gritty color grading, felt so raw and honest. perfectly fitting for the drama. that rooftop kiss scene was probably one of the most beautiful kisses I’ve ever seen!
I could probably go on an on forever. but I’ll stop here for now.
overall, this is one of the very few BLs that left such a big impression in my heart. I will never forget the feeling watching this made me feel. definitely making it to my list of best dramas, BL or non bl alike.
PS. tell me why this masterpiece is rated only 8.5?! this definitely deserves more than that💔

A liberdade é o oxigênio da alma.
uma das mais lindas e impactantes que já assisti até hoje!not me não gira em torno de romance. o que sustenta a série é conflito, consciência e resistência.
a relação entre os irmãos é o verdadeiro coração da história. mesmo distantes, existe uma conexão que atravessa tudo e acaba sendo o ponto de partida para uma mudança profunda. quando um deles é forçado a encarar a realidade do outro, não se trata só de assumir um lugar, mas de confrontar um mundo que sempre esteve ali e nunca tinha sido realmente enxergado.
essa troca é o que constrói toda a base da narrativa. é através dela que surgem os questionamentos sobre privilégio, desigualdade e o peso das estruturas sociais. não é uma jornada confortável. é sobre perceber que estar protegido por um sistema também significa, de alguma forma, sustentar ele.
o romance acontece nesse meio, mas não conduz a história. ele cresce junto com essa tomada de consciência, dentro de um cenário de tensão, luta e posicionamento. não é idealizado, é atravessado por tudo o que está em volta.
outro ponto muito forte é como a série coloca a arte e a juventude como formas de resistência. existe uma crítica clara sobre ocupar espaço, se posicionar e existir como ato político, principalmente dentro da vivência LGBTQIA+. nada disso é tratado como detalhe, tudo faz parte da estrutura da narrativa.
e mesmo mostrando um sistema falho e violento, a série não prende só na desesperança. existe uma insistência na ideia de que pessoas podem fazer diferença, de que escolhas individuais e coletivas têm impacto real.
cast incrível! e tenho que dizer: gun entregou TUDO na atuação!

A true masterpiece
This is one of those BL's that you recommend to everyone, no matter what BL's that person usually watches this is a MUST watch..So lets get into it !
Firstly: Chemistry
the chemistry here is pure perfection, the longing stares and little glances the characters share, the NC scenes are done really well. You can feel the yearning for each-other's body trough the screen.
Even the side couple is pure perfection !
The second couple goes trough so much mental health topics its amazing to watch. The scene where one draws the others naked body holds a special place in my heart. The character feeling comfortable enough to portray their helpless naked body and all the emotions you can feel trough their eyes is ... PERFECTION
The story: 9.5/10
I would give it a 10/10 but it got really confusing at some point.
The actual story is so well done, all the twists and action scenes are amazing,
I really liked watching characters develop into their own person, with their own story and life
The little parts in the story that say so little but show so much, if you watch it again you will realize that some parts are planed to not make sense, thats its charm !
Every part of the story will get resolved, you just need to wait !
Is this worth watching ? YES, absolutely
Is it in any part boring? NO
Is re-watching it better than watching it for the first time? Maybe, maybe not? It depends. I would sell my soul to watch it for the first time but I really enjoyed watching it again. You just realize more and understand better.
Will this stay (for me) as one of the best BL's ever made? YES!
Can I watch it even tho I don't usually watch action BL's ? YES, its a must watch !
If you want a fluffy story, with no action this might not be for you, but I think every BL watcher should watch this, this is and will forever stay as one of the best BL's ever made and if you don't watch this you will miss out on such a great BL - a literal piece of art
