what a plot twist~
first of all, I love love loveeeee Natee in this drama. he is by far my favourite ambassador. the way he looks at Theo with doe eyes of his.... so dreamy.great plot twist! it was unexpected.
however! it was too focused on what Theo want that their relationship - not friendship - develops somewhat late; and to create a conflict between them at the very end of the episode was just too fast and short in my opinion.
oh and i just love Egg, Akk's baby sister. i absolutely love her personality. cheeky and sweet.

UNDERRATED
I really can't understand why this show is so underrated. I watched nine episodes thinking "next episode will ruin everything" and episode 10 is indeed a little weaker than the rest of the episodes, but it's stil okay. The show isn't perfect, but it's a good journey.Let's start talking about Book's acting. I tried to watch ABAAB before watching this show and I couldn't even pass episode six cause I thought Book's acting so forced, I couldn't stand Cher. But in Enchanté I think his acting was in the right place, I think he portraid Theo in a very elegant way. I saw that many people hate Theo, but I think I have a liking to shady characters. I like that he didn't let anyone deceive him, instead he was the one deceiving everybody.
About Akk I don't have much to say, he was perfect, I fell in love with him. I already enjoyed Force's work in ABAAB, but I think here he was amazing!!! Akk is so charismatic it's impossible not to fall in love with him!! And the chemistry... they have sooo much chemistry!!! All the kisses were so delicious!! Also, all the songs are good and Gawin is perfect as Saifah!
About the polemic finale I think the parents drama is indeed boring but I understand Theo, he lost his foundation that was based on his parents love, so he was lost for a while but I think even put himself together quite fast. And I thought P'Sun would be an annoying character who appears in the last episode and fly from France to Thailand just to steale Theo, but he wasn't, he was just a friend and kind of nice.
Anyway, I see lots of terrible dramas with score higher than this, I was even reluctant to watch cause I thought it was gonna be a terrible show, but it wasn't, it's definitely a good show and really fun to watch!!!

USERS & SCHEMERS GALORE! THEO DOESN'T DESERVE AK
With so many toxic and obnoxious characters here (and MAIN characters at that!!), this should be retitled USERS & SCHEMERS. Haha!The “contenders,” for me their reasons for doing what they did are forced and contrived. From PHUPHA (he wants to move away from his mother. Really??) to WAYO (used funds for gambling) to NATEE (for an exhibit and to keep a club from being axed, really?). SAIFA – It was Theo who asked him to be a part of his inane “Enchante” idea. Really?? Doesn’t make sense if you really think about it.
I hate who they wrote Theo’s part. To me, his character was cold, detached, scheming (yes, he was the one who masterminded this Enchante bs, right?) so he deserved the backlash/consequences he got from the “contenders.” His character was wayyyyy too unfeeling. He doesn’t deserve Ak. Ak deserves a better person. The give-and-take of affection between the MLs is lopsided at best.
Watching the first half of the finale episode, I couldn’t care less if Theo is leaving. Go! And let Ak find someone who will love him more than you do.
The series was too long. It could have been edited to 5 episodes and many scenes could be removed or shortened. Learn from ITSAY and CHERRY MAGIC (both 5 episodes).
But… despite these, the chemistry between the two actors is its asset.
Plus point also: cinematography and camerawork nito. Above average.
7.5 / 10

So far it's pretty boring but I might change my mind
I found the first episode to be extremely fun and the childhood-friends friendship between Theo and Akk refreshing to see. But, even though I've not seen a lot of it yet, I think this series is slow-paced and kind of going nowhere (?) . I don't understand why Theo is so interested in knowing who Enchanté is just from the couple of sentences they have shared with each other. To me it seems like it was very rushed and I'd be upset if the remaining 7 episodes will just be them trying to figure out which of the 4 popular boys is Enchanté. I am happy with the evolvement of Theo and Akk's friendship so far. I hope the rest of the series is balanced a little bit better and that I find it to be more entertaining. But overall, it is not a bad series and I am a big fan of the idea itself.Was this review helpful to you?
JUST GO WATCH (for free on GMMTV Youtube )
Why you shd watch:1. OFFICIALLY AIRS FOR FREE ON YOUTUBE-
so you can support the cast and production without spending any money.
2. STORY-
The story is not at all the cliche type. It has a lot of potential. Very different from other BLs and immersive. No toxicity so far.
3. SCREENPLAY AND PRODUCTION-
The story is not going painfully slow, with prolonged stares or a long paused small physical contact. The lead characters are very relatable and they behave like real life friends. Production is above par.
4. ACTORS-
The actors are a feast to the eyes- their visuals are extraordinary.
5. ACTING SKILLS-
Acting is a 10/10- They are so natural and are immersed in their roles. You can thoroughly feel all the emotions they're portraying. The chemistry between the lead couple is undeniable.
6. OST and Music-
You can just watch this series for the music, trust me. Kudos to all the artists working on music forthis series.

sweet as hell
as a french person, i couldn't be happier ! i discovered a lovely drama, with a bit of french in it, but honestly, even if it wasn't about France, i would still love it. it's so heartwarming and full of love.i loved the chemistry between force & book, this only made the drama funnier to watch. i truly enjoyed every episode, it became a real comfort zone.
akk's sweetness and kindness (and his patience !) made my heart melt. book's character was charming too, even tho he disappointed me at the end.

Sweet and romantic in its own way
From episode 1-5 the series started with the encounter of the main leads, and it was all fun nothing serious, the story line was light and funny how the two main leads always bickers but also give little hints on how they feel for each other...and the encounter of the enchantés begins it was rather fun to watch and keep you guessing of what was their true intentions for lying to theo...and when i said it is sweet and romantic in its own way, is how akk is always there for theo and how the screenplays shows theo got enchanted by akk from time to time in the most subtle way and vice versa...Episode 6-9 the series gets more intensed as one by one the fake enchantés' true intentions unraveled, all the plot twists and who the real enchanté was really got me(im not telling who it is you need to watch it yourself)🤣🤣and of course the sweetness and romances between the leads gets more intensed too but in a fun way not cliché at all and they dont really have any NC scenes which makes it more charming as it grasped the viewers attention with their chemistry, wittiness and chickiness instead making it easy to watch but still managed to gives you butterflies..this series are really easy going yet makes you flutter in its own way..but then the eppearance of Sun(one of my bias from gmmtv) made it a bit intense but just a bit though and you cant help but to feel so bad for Akk..like its really unfair for Akk after everything he did for theo and to be treated that way by theo is so unfair and theo starting to become more selfish from here onwards really gets my nerve(it just proves his acting is just great)..like everything is about him and Akk is always the one who gives in and compromise with theo
Ep10 i really feel sad on this episode especially on theo's decision..i think out of all gmmtv's series this might be one of the most rushed ending..like out of the blue they went different ways and then out of the blue they just get back together just like that...like if a guy like Akk really exist i would be so blessed to meet that guy...he literally do anything for theo..its a happy ending though dont worry😘
overall im just sad on how i was late to watch this series if i knew it was going to be this good i would have watched it on the time it was airing🥺🥺it was so good as expected from gmmtv...and instead of attracting viewers with NC scenes they really played well with the chemistry of both leads instead i really love it...
Im glad i watched it..
Ps: if you want to see them got married then watch vice versa ep 1 🤣🤣 they are there as cameos of a just got married couple😘

Overall is recommended
I totally forgot to write a review for this series. It's very good to know a new couple like ForceBook. I actually like the story plot that is actually a plot twist, its not what I first expected, I thought since the start that the real enchante problaby is not all four of the guys and thought that it might be Akk but actually it was Theo himself. The music was very good because P'Tay was the one who sings it, knowing that the actor that I like the most sings a song for this series was very shocked and really makes me more likely want to watch it. The casts was really great, it was a destiny that made these two casts get to be together because they know each other for such a long time. The acting was super great, these two have never act in any series, so this was there first ever series, so it was very great that they could perform out this much good. I would like to rewatch this series again if I have time because it was the best to know this couple. I don't know why many people don't really care about this couple just because of the story in the series that started to make many of the people dropped this series but this couple became my second favorite couple after I watch lots of BL series.Was this review helpful to you?

Theo é insuportável!
Enchanté foi uma daquelas séries que eu demorei uma vida pra assistir. Toda vez que eu via alguém comentando, era só gente falando mal, detonando, nota baixa… e aí, claro, eu desanimava. Mas aí eu resolvi criar coragem e fui ver com meus próprios olhos. E olha… realmente não é boa. Infelizmente, não é.Eu já não sou muito fã da atuação do Force e do Book. Não acho eles horríveis, mas também não consigo me empolgar com o jeito que eles atuam. O Book, pelo menos, tem uma energia animada que eu adoro, ele é carismático, contagia o ambiente. Mas o Force… ai, o Force pra mim é inexpressivo demais. E juntos, então, parece que a química trava. Aqui, principalmente, foi pior que o normal. Se nas outras vezes eles já não entregavam muito, dessa vez parece que nem tentaram. Você assiste e pensa “meu Deus, eles estão claramente atuando”, não passa emoção nenhuma. É tudo muito mecânico, muito forçado, e o resultado é uma história que já não é lá grandes coisas ficando ainda mais sem graça.
E falando em história… que história, né? Porque, olha, é bobinha demais. O drama é raso, e o Theo consegue ser um dos personagens mais chatos que eu já vi. Um egoístinha de primeira. Nem o carisma do Book conseguiu salvar. O menino inventa todo aquele circo de “Enchanté”, faz o Akk correr atrás dele, inventa todo aquele circo e aparece quatro falsos Enchanté, faz o colega fingir ser um, só pra no fim a gente descobrir que o tal Enchanté era ele mesmo, tudo pra fazer o Akk se confessar. E quando o Akk finalmente cai na dele, o que o Theo faz? Fica de birrinha a cada draminha chato que ele inventa naquela cabecinha oca dele.
E como se não bastasse, ele ainda fica puto porque descobre que os pais se separaram e o Akk não contou. Tipo… o que o Akk tem a ver com isso, meu filho? Que obrigação ele teria de te contar? E o Theo lá, revoltadinho, querendo que os pais voltem a ficar juntos, mesmo eles claramente não se amando mais. O filhinho mimado querendo forçar a família feliz. Ainda bem que a série não forçou esse final, porque aí seria o cúmulo. Ninguém merece viver o inferno no casamento por conta de filho marmanjo que não aceita a decisão dos pais.
Mas depois de todo auê de Enchanté, esse drama familiar, e de ficar com raivinha do Akk. O bonito simplesmente decide voltar pra França como se nada tivesse acontecido. E como de praxe o Akk larga tudo e vai correr atrás dele, e pronto, final feliz. Felizes pra sempre. Ai, que ódio. A série parecia não acabar nunca. Mesmo assistindo no 2x e pulando partes, parecia que os episódios eram infinitos. Dez episódios que mais pareciam vinte. Foi cansativo, maçante, e olha… eu realmente só terminei pra não deixar pela metade.
No fim, Enchanté é aquele tipo de série que eu não recomendo pra ninguém, mas também não julgo quem quiser assistir. Só vá sabendo que é lenta, rasa e com um protagonista que dá vontade de gritar “meu filho, cresce!”. Porque, sinceramente, foi difícil. Muuuito difícil.

Não crie expectativas, crie galinhas
Então... minhas opiniões ainda são muito contraditórias sobre essa série, eu a amo e odeio em igual medida. Assisti duas vezes, uma quando lançou, e novamente agora, mas minhas impressões sobre ela não mudaram muito.Situando o leitor, essa foi umas das séries que a GMMTV anunciou para 2022, ela substituiu "Bad Buddy", que foi um sucesso estrondoso, e teve um grande investimento por parte da produtora. Isso é bem perceptível na qualidade da imagem, na fotografia, na ost, na ambientação. Se teve tantos pontos positivos, qual o grande pecado? O próprio roteiro, que já não era bom, e aparentemente se perdeu na metade da série. A história é leve, fofinha, não tem aquela pegada mais sensual, e outra coisa que ela não tem é lógica. É muito fora da casinha o indivíduo querer chamar atenção de outro usando esse truque do livro, que ao meu ver é o mais idiota de todos os tempos... ok, ele planejou que apenas o Akk tivesse ciência sobre os "bilhetes" deixados no livro, mas mesmo assim não consegui comprar a ideia de que 4 garotos iam surgir e se apresentar como Enchanté sabendo que não eram, é o cúmulo da coragem, pq noção não é o forte dessa série.
Numa escala de baixo para cima dos personagens secundários, Phupa foi o candidato que me causou mais ranço. Atuação ruim, o personagem não me convenceu, além de ter conseguido me fazer detestar a mãe doente (que era uma safada). Depois vem o Wayo, acho até que ele atuou bem, e no final me compadeci dele, apesar dele ter cometido um crime, mas foi o que teve motivos mais imorais para se aproximar de Théo, seu aparente arrependimento não o exime de sua culpa. Depois dele vem o Nathee, que também atuou bem, mas que personagem sem escrúpulos e idiota! Uma pessoa capaz de fazer qualquer coisa pra alcançar o que deseja, mesmo que essa coisa seja imoral, e ainda por cima cego, de não ver que o gostoso do Tan queria praticar a arte de namorar pelado com ele. O único "pretendente" que realmente gostei, no final não era pretendente, o Saifah, que além de tudo ajudou o casal a se entender, por um preço, mas ajudou. E ainda passei um belo susto no final com o aparecimento do Jimmy, que até então (antes de VICE VERSA), só aparecia nas séries para fazer raiva.
Agora falando de personagens que amei, quero citar as irmãs do Akk, gente, aquela criança é maravilhosa, e a irmã mais velha também é um amor. Os pais do Théo são fofos, senti pena deles por sentirem a necessidade de montarem um teatro para o filho, mas se fizeram isso, com certeza tinham consciência que o filho era egoísta e imaturo. Achei uma falha no roteiro que não tenham mostrado na série a reação dos pais sobre o namoro do filho, eu realmente fiquei curiosa sobre isso.
Eu não amei o Theo, mas gostei dele, já o Akk se tornou um vício pra mim, o que é impossível negar é a química que os dois exalavam... cada olhar entre eles era um tiro no meu coração, que química senhores, que química...
As cenas finais dessa série foram péssimas. Primeiro a reação de Theo sobre Akk saber sobre o divórcio. Eu olhava a briga entre eles e minha expressão parecia o meme da Nazaré Tedesco tentando entender o porquê. A introdução do Jimmy, que simplesmente veio da França passar menos de uma semana na Tailândia também não fez sentido. Ah, e sobre o chá revelação do Enchanté, antes deles falarem eu percebi pela atitude do Saifah, então, a surpresa foi com Deus. Também achei muito injusto o Akk largar tudo e ir para a França morar Theo, achei muito sacrifício, sendo que o outro não demonstrou nenhuma emoção ao abandonar ele. Ok, motivo justo pra ele ir, mas ele não se despediu triste, não demonstrou nada, pq eu iria atrás de uma praga dessas?
Um ponto para falar sobre a ost, que amei muito, tanto a cantada pelo Tay Tawan como a do Gawin. Apesar dos pesares eu gostei da série. Não é algo que eu vou ver de novo, duas vezes já foi o suficiente, mas também não deixo de indicar, apesar das minhas expectativas frustradas.

Theo é insuportável!
A série tava até indo e etc, seguia "ok" até a reviravolta do meio pro fim... O Theo é tão insuportável, peguei um ranço tão grande dele que não conseguirei ver nada que o ator que o interpreta fizer - pelo menos até passar esse ranço!Já o Akk... ele é muito gente boa, um fofo mesmo! Merecia muito um amor que de fato o correspondesse à altura!
Dos outros "Enchanté" eu só gostei e muito do Saifa! Os outros nem federam, nem cheiraram...
A OST também é bem chatinha! ":(
É um BL que não vou assistir novamente com toda certeza!
