Do not watch after balcony ep
The storyline does not feel familiar after learning who is the enchante. I have watched dozens of BLs, but haven't seen a worse ending than this. They could have k*lled the leads and it would, honestly, would have been better. Rewatch value stands for the primary episodes, where their chemistry still exists. That balcony ep made me comment positively on how this serie was progressing and no, I have never been let down this bad. Last eps were outright disrespectful to the viewer, destroying the whole theme, adding surprises to keep people engaged and both chemistry&acting flying out of window. Actors are new to the industry and one of them is better than the other. Only one character carries the show and yea, that is pretty much how this show receives a still avarage score. I sometimes find myself wishing for a cheating plot, rather than this careless, meaningles, pointless end. They had so many things to explore: trust issues, reasons, school projects... Instead they created new superficial plots and unplanned topics. Anyway 10/6 because theo is a nice name and akk looks like my crush- otherwise this show is a solid 4.Was this review helpful to you?
A good watch, until the mystery was revealed...
First of all, it was a good series. Filmography was also a pass, albeit not enough to be commendable as a film major...STORY
The story was great until the Te-Te guy (as Akk so randomly calls it) was revealed.
After the revelation of the mystery, it's as if the character development for both the main leads and supporting actors just stopped. And were awefully rushed and crammed to fit the final episode.
It's like they rushed to find a reason to get one of the main leads back to France, so the show can forcibly justify the "French trope" of the theme...
It was all good, until the continuity went in shambles.
It's like a professional writer was working on the ending then suddenly had diarrhea so he let his amateur assitant finish the ending
ACTING/ACTORS
The actors had great chemistry and they could've done better I'm sure... Their eyes alone did the acting... They did a great job
MUSIC
I always believed that a good soundtrack helps boost a series' popularity and value...
REWATCH VALUE
Well... I wouldn't watch it a third time

A good beginning, but then it kinda went ok?
I was intrigued the first time I saw the trailer, and decided to watch it when it was completed.THE COMEDY AND THE CHEMISTRY IS NO JOKE. THESE TWO ARE VERY GOOD AND VERY AMAZING AT ACTING ETC.
I was very very very into it, the relationship Akk and Theo had was also something refreshing for me to see. Maybe it's just me, but the way these two characters interacted - liking each other but are acting how bff would act either way - feels somehow natural.
As everyone would agree, Akk is the best of the best in this story. For me personally, Theo was good as well, but only before it was nearing the end. The story got good, and it was kind of obvious-ish who Enchante is. It didn't really bother me as much tbh.
I wouldn't say the story is bad, but I was a little disappointed how Theo always make Akk being the one to chase him and make the big decision to be with one another (At least that's how I see it, sorry if I'm wrong about this). The last few episodes just make me like Akk wayyy more than ever. Theo's personality of wanting a happy family and trying to push his parents back together - I get that he wants his family to be like it was, when it was happy, but he has to realize that life doesn't always have that happy ending.
I also kinda get why he would leave Akk to follow his mom because, well he doesn't want his mother to be alone, but dude, Akk has always been the one doing the brave moves (Although Theo is the one pretending to be Enchante to make Akk confess I guess?) Theo is lucky Akk likes him to the max that he even willing to study his ass off to go to France(? I forgot oops) so you two can stay together.
All in all, I wouldn't say DON'T WATCH IT, but more to like, WATCH IT IF YOU WANT TO because it's pretty ok to me :D

Expected Plot Twist but still Satisfying
As my headline states, the plot twist seems to be predictable but the storylines planted bombs to confuse the audience which is at some point proved to be believable. Thanks to the actors who summon waves on the clear water and me believe there's a whirlpool underneath.The only thing I don't really like on this is the inclusion of as much characters as they want. It would be more interesting if they do include a character with complex personality.
Overall, it wasn't the best from the production company but worth the time to watch on maybe two or three rounds.

Good up until the last two episodes
This show was one of my favorite shows until the last two episodes. I was so disappointed at the end I won't lie to you. Akk deserved better. The show wasn't anything spectacular, but i really loved it. Up until episode 9, where theo started acting like a spoilt brat. I understand him getting a lil upset at akk for not telling him about his parents, but i also think that akk was not in a position to tell him. It was his parent's responsibility to tell him that. also when theo said he was going to France, i got so upset. All in all, Akk deserves better. he did not deserve all that.Was this review helpful to you?

A sweet, focused and simple romance we needed the most.
After 12 weeks of the roller coaster of emotions Bad Buddy gave me, all I wanted was a literal return to normalcy. I wanted one of GMMTV's traditional bls. And Thankfully I got the whole experience back with Enchante. From the beginning till the end, this series draws you not just with the mystery of who Enchante is, but with Akk and Theo dealing with their feelings for the other. Despite being newbies, Force and Book pulled off a debut drama success very few could do. The Story was Simple yet interesting, The Acting was excellent, The OSTs were beautiful and the whole show was splendid. I absolutely loved the series references to the Famous French story The Little Prince and how they connected the two. I highly recommend this BL to everyone. And don't worry, unlike the ending of the story, Our little prince and rose reunite with each other. Alors qu'est-ce que tu attends? Commencez à binger cette série maintenant !

Their chemistry carried this series
When I started watching this show, I wasn't expecting too much. So, it was such a surprise when I started looking forward to every Friday to watch the new episode.The chemistry of the main actors was what made me stay. Best Friends to Lovers' plots sometimes tend to be boring for me, but the actors did a great job. I got engaged in their friendship, so much so that I was happy for them when they finally got together. Chemistry in BL is key, and they have it. The story was good but kind of predictable if you get the hints. The CGI wasn't good, but it didn't bother me as much. Overall, all the actors did a great job in my opinion.
This BL could have been SO much better if the story was written differently. I felt the series was losing strength during the last episodes. Would I watch it again? Maybe, but just some scenes of the main couple. I loved their interactions. They were fun and felt unique.
It's not one of the best BLs, but it's not a bad one either.
Note: Akk is the BEST character here. Everything about him is great. He's comprehensive, rational, and the BEST FRIEND EVER. He's kind of dumb too but cute.

Sweet, lovable and aesthetically pleasing
I don't care what anyone says, this is one of the most consistently good Thai BLs.The one thing everyone seems to agree on is that the casting and chemistry of the two mains is superb and I agree, they have one of the most natural and sweet relationships. Individually they also seem to be great actors who understand their characters well.
I understand some people's annoyance with the storyline or writing but I simply don't agree. I like that they're both capable of being smart and dumb, the decisions they make are understandable and in character. They're not perfect people and that's what made them realistic and made me want to root for them. Don't get me wrong, above everything it's a romcom so don't expect everything to be ultra realistic, but I feel like Enchante doesn't put on its rose tinted glasses as much as some other dramas.
Bottom line is the characters are logical, their feelings for each other make sense, their actions make sense, I like them as separate people, I want them to be together and I want to rewatch it. If that's the low bar I have for Thai BLs, so be it.

Not sure about this one...
Four episodes in and the only reason I think I'm still watching it is the chemistry between Akk and Theo (Force/Book) I'm finding the story about looking for Enchante amongst the 4 popular boys at the university rather meh!. I'm sorry but why is Theo so obsessed in knowing, its not like he wrote freaking sonnets, couple of sentences and he's hooked. I'm hoping things are going to get more interesting, but so far its not drawing me in much. If it wasn't for the seemingly effortless back and forward dialogue and playfulness of Force and Book, I probably wouldn't bother with this series. I really like the actresses who play Akk's sisters, they are great fun. Must admit the 4 actors playing the would be 'enchante's' haven't impressed me so far other than them all being pretty actors. But...but they haven't had a chance to shine so far, so we'll see. Phupha character (not actor) is the least interesting so far, I don't really like his slight aggressiveness when it comes to Theo, getting stalker vibes big time.Was this review helpful to you?

ENCHANTED !
Lets begin with what I dislike in this series, first, I think it would be better if they made Akk To be Enchanté, that will somehow make the searching for who Enchanté was reasonable and not a waste of time, but revealing that Theo is the one that replies to his own message on the Enchanté book, it made the momentum of my watching fall down !! Like what ?! It doesn't make sense!Also I don't like the fact that the ending seemed rushed, when the time that Theo is going back to Italy there could've been like Akk should be angry that he will be left behind or it should be better of they break up and then a years passed they meet again and revive the live story something like that ! But it was rushed!..
Also I don't like that Akk has got even got angry to Theo that after all of what they've been through Theo will just leave Akk.
Also I don't like Theo getting angry to Akk that he asks him to accept that Theo's parents has divorced and doesn't live each other any more, the scenes where he tries to make his parents comeback is just a waste of time on the series, they should have focused on Theo and Akks love story even more, while Akk is telling the truth, Theo still got angry, where in in the end Theo also realized Akk was right ! See ? They have just wasted their time. You see Akk is always the good guy here
Let's go with what I like,
What I like the most on the story is the chemistry of Theo and Akk, I like their being "torpe" to each other ( torpe is a tagalog islang word which means you are not bold to confess how you feel)
Also Akk is so Handsome, he really fits his character, i like their "waiting on each other to who would give up and confess first ! " they are really good for each other!
I like the back ground song ! Sung by Tay Tawan !! It really fits the theme of the series, also place don't matter for me I liked it all.
I liked Gawin Caskey appearing in this series!
All in all just because I find it great the both leads chemistry, I'm gonna rewatch it !!
Honestly, I finished it last week just before I write this review but, since It' s hard for me to move on I kept on playing the OST and keep on goinv back to the most favorite scenes
I hope they tilhis BL couple will have another series I will root for them !
An unforgettable one for me !

A pleasant romcom with excellent grasp of character
I actually really enjoyed this series. It doesn't take itself too seriously, while still maintaining a satisfying level of foreshadowing and moments that take on a new meaning upon completion of the series. And there is much more to the MCs' relationship issues than just miscommunication - issues that I don't see addressed in many series, let alone BLs. I do wish that those issues got a bit more screen time though.The characters were written consistently and had a significant level of depth to them - which is quite notable for a series that has comedy as a focus. I was able to tell and stay in touch with each of the characters' motivations and insecurities. And I thoroughly enjoyed this friends-to-lovers plot because of how well the two MCs understand each other, and exceptions to that had valid and in-character reasons, rather than appearing out of thin air. And the pseudo-harem situation didn't take as much focus as initially anticipated - keeping the plot from feeling excessive and attention-dividing.
Having Fluke sing in this series was a welcome surprise - although the songs that got the major spotlight weren't as captivating as the music in other series'. The acting also had brief moments that felt off - with some actors appearing more angry than the character was. And kiss scenes didn't have as much chemistry as the non-kiss scenes suggested. But perhaps this is because of the friend-dynamic that the actors have in real-life. Even though I know that the French wasn't the best, I think that its inclusion was a welcome one, and story-wise it would've felt weird not to have it.
