**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- I really like the concept of the show. It's time travel with a twist. The plot might appear predictable at first but there are numerous lessons to be learned about being in the now and not let needless thoughts about the future make your current life a mess.
- I like B and T's interactions. This is not really a fluff show but it is real and their interactions are adorable and full of love. While there are not many intimate scenes, the actors do a great job in conveying the characters mental state to the audience.
- The acting really is good, not only from the ensemble cast but from the main characters. Sure there were moments where acting isnt as good, but key moments, everything was on point. The main characters really do have chemistry together.
- I like how this show tackles the issue of discovering ones sexual orientation. The revelation part is very realistic and I love how supportive Ts mother is.
- I love how the angst doesn't come from misunderstandings. The main angst comes from not knowing who you are and what you want and the pain you cause others while you struggle to find out.
- The writing is very good. This is a complicated topic because B goes back in time numerous times, which can easily make the narration confusing. However the author sis a great job at explaining all of this and don't make you wander just what is going on.
- The pacing is really great. You are always on the edge of yourself wondering just what will happen next.
- I love seeing how much insight we got in to both B and T's personality and insecurities. Not only that, their characters have also developed quite a lot through out the series. B has grown up emotionally and learnt how to accept that nothing will be perfect but you can try your best. I love how these two are always there to support each other.

WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- There are a lot of talking, which can get a little boring. But I did like the characters talking things out instead of emoing on their own. However the communication isn't perfect but it is a start.
- I love and hate the time skip. Love because it shows an accurate depiction of what happens to couples after they spend years together. After the honey moon is over, the love is still there but it's more subdued. B and L aren't constantly in each other spaces. They have work and other things to worry about now. They are still together more as friends and life partners. Hate because it's not very fluffy, it pulls you away from the BL world where everything is sweet, to the real world.
- I feel bad for the girl because the two boys she ended up liking ended up dating each other. Her role is simply that of a tool to help these two realize their feelings. At least she is given a small arc instead of throwing her away once she was no longer needed.
- There is a lack of buildup explaining why T likes B. Everytime B asks, T says it's because B's cute so it's naturally to assume that T first liked B for his looks and then this feeling turns in to something more after they start spending time together. It also explains why at the beginning T doesn't seem to upset that B is still chasing that girl.

**Conclusion**
An interesting time travel story.

Quite dissapointing

The show starts off on a promising note, albeit with some familiar BL tropes that feel a bit overused. The main issue, however, lies with Kawi's character. As the lead, he is supposed to evoke our empathy, but the storytelling and acting fall short in this regard. While it's easy to understand Kawi's perspective, his supposed attraction and love for Piseang come across as forced. It feels more like Kawi is settling for Piseang after repeatedly failing to win over Pear, rather than genuinely falling in love with him.

This weakens the emotional core of the story, making Kawi's love for Piseang seem almost invisible. The show would have been much more innovative and inspiring if it had focused on Piseang and Max as the central, openly gay leads, instead of centering on an immature Kawi who only seems to grow up in the final episode.

Gawin delivers a strong performance, bringing depth to his role, but Krist's tendency to overact prevents us from fully connecting with Kawi. Overall, the show had potential but falters due to its uneven characterization and missed opportunities.

Are we watching the same show?

I’ve seen nothing but amazing reviews on this and… I’m confused as to why. Truly such a boring watch. Got through it, but barely. The ONLY highlight of the show was Gawin’s portrayal of Pisaeng. Kawi? Terrible character. The first 6 episodes are just him going after Pear and failing miserably, whilst unknowingly hurting Pisaeng. Episode 7/8 seemed like a promising shift in the plot, but it was all for nothing bc it went right back to how it was. The entire time I found myself rooting for Pisaeng to find better elsewhere. Kawi seemed so uninterested in Pisaeng until the very final moments of the finale, and the excuse of “that’s just how he is” is simply not good enough because even ignoring that, it’s such a lifeless boring show that just goes through the motions to reach the episode count. Zero rewatch value; I would give it zero stars in that department if allowed, but I guess a 1 will suffice. Unable is a nice song though.

Una hermosura

La verdad es que solo la vi porque no tenía nada más que mirar y me arrepiento de no haberla mirado antes.

Es una historia de amor hermosa, tierna y retratada de manera preciosa por los actores. Los recursos que se usaron para el viaje en el tiempo son buenos y, a pesar de que la historia va para atrás y para adelante varias veces, no es difícil de entender y la historia está muy bien desarrollada. Me pareció muy emocionante y, una cosa que me gustó mucho y que generalmente no sucede, es que podemos ver el después de la pareja, su vida juntos y su convivencia.

Totalmente recomendable.

A future gone in an instant

My parents are having an affair and I ain't even mad about it. This is fun and pretty well done. I will give it to them. A very random pair that feels like a bad dream, but I would be lying if I said I didn't like them together. Okay, I would give it an 8.5 (8.75) out of 10. I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't, do an episode overview, and then put this show to rest after 3 long years.

Random ass ship, but they were fun as hell and have good chemistry. I think they are both good actors, stand alone, so them together was weird but good. The plot was pretty good, actually, and had some interesting lessons about life and the things you take for granted. I liked that a lot. I also liked what they did with the ending. Of course, I really do not know what I was expecting, but I did enjoy how they did the lesson learned kind of thing, and the thing about not being able to fix or save everybody. I liked how Gawin's character saw into the past about changing it, and I dont know if it was by choice or just the fact it didnt work, but he didnt go back and fight the future head-on, which was actually very interesting, and I did like that from an analysis standpoint. I forgot how many times he went back in time, and I am so obsessed that they did that a lot. Krist's character being an alcoholic was fun; I liked that for some reason. They are freaked out. Also, pretty good character writing for our main characters. The romance building was okay, I will give them that. This whole show was pretty good, and I would say watch it.

WHOEVER WROTE THE PACING OF THIS SHOW NEEDS TO BE FIRED. Jesus Christ. The first 5 episodes were gun to my head boring and genuinely so hard to get through, and it is because the pacing at the start is god fucking awful. Fuck. The ending was a bit empty because they jumped the gun in episode 11, but that's okay. I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PEAR AND HER PROBLEMS. Like, I am so glad they gave her dimension and made her stand alone from a man, but her placement of lore and background stuff was so incredibly boring, I really did not give two fucks. Actually, that goes for most of the side characters, just random, irrelevant, and take away from the main couple and their plot. They should have made the start more interesting, jumping off what I said earlier. I think that would have helped with the overall development of the show. The start was also confusing as fuck, and I am just like, what the fuck. Not a lot to complain about, but the things are a little major lmao.

Okay, episode overview time, which once again spans over 3 years, and I am so sorry to this show for leaving you on here for this long. "Watching it for Krist because he's a cutie. I am slightly lost because I don't read descriptions." "Things never go to plan for him; something is always going wrong." "I am thinking of how you would explain all the time travel shit to someone, because I personally wouldn’t believe them." "We are not going in the love direction right now, but these two are coming to terms with feelings and getting over all the childishness of always fighting for no reason, and there is only peace when Kawi is drunk out of his mind." "Whoever thought this ship was a good idea, I have some strong words for you. Wait, I can't lie, I'm obsessed with these two together, it's like your parents are having an affair. Krist is such a good singer. "Kawi is too cute to be straight." Lmao. I lowkey forgot this was time traveling. Gawin is so tall." "I am confused about how the globe works. I feel like if you fuck up time, you are gonna face some kind of consequences. You need some self-reflection; no matter what you change, it is always the same. Something about grown ass men playing in the water together does it for me. They are both great singers. I think Krist's character is interesting. "Shii, I'll wait." "GMMTV's biggest cry babies lmao. Put khao in here, and we will be complete. Interesting bit with him being an alcoholic. I think that guy at the end was a full circle bit, but idk. I like this, it's a good background show." "I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PEAR LORE HOLY FUCK I DO NOT CARE. GIVE ME MY MAIN COUPLE AND MORE LORE WITH THIS BITCH BENDING SPACE AND TIME, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PEAR AND HER IRRELEVANT FUCKING MOTHER I SWEAR TO GOD." "I like the ending, they could have done more, but also it was a nice full circle with the globe and thinking about using it and then not, I liked that."

Yeah, this was fun. Uh, okay bye!

I have fallen out of love

I wanted to wait until the last episode airs before I write a review, but now I'm not sure if I will watch this last episode.
If you want to know, why this series is so great, read other reviews. Whatever those reviews say, it’s mostly true: the series is very well written, well acted, with an interesting and engaging plot, very well developed and complex characters, and some mature storytelling you don’t see often in this genre.
We have different people with different personalities and different sexualities: a hetero girl (Pear), a hetero guy (Knot), a open gay gay (Max), a gay guy in the closet (Pisaeng), a guy who has to figure out his sexuality (Kawi). That’s an ensemble of characters I have never seen before in any other BL. So 10 points for that. Of course this constellation with a love triangle in the middle causes lots of drama and complex issues.
But again, read other reviews if you only want to hear about the good stuff.
About the bad stuff: I tend to fall in love with many GMMTV series until episode 7. This series is no exception. The first half was fun, crazy, exciting, lovely. The second half not so much. Reading comments on MDL, twitter, YouTube I really wonder why so many people are unable to see those characters for who they really are. They are able to recognize that Kawi is problematic, but they are completely blind about Pisaeng, because they only see his love as pure, innocent and romantic. He isn't portrayed as a bad person, but he is seriously dense, and I think this character has not much depth and not much brains. I must say I liked Pear more as a character, and thought she was the least problematic. Still, those people love each other, life is complicated and things can get out of control. So the writing isn't the problem, that's why I rate this series rather high. Objectively speaking it's good, but if I talk about my personal feelings: I have fallen out of love. At the end it was just all a bit too cheesy, a bit too sad, a bit too depressing, a bit too slow. I hoped to see them being together, happy and crazy, but in ep 11 we only got to see a montage of some future scenes without any story behind it. If they had some dialouge it was a sad conversation. I thought they would be a fun couple, but not really. Maybe they will fix that in ep 12, but I don't think that a single episode can change how I felt since ep 7.
Well ... what else?
I think I'm now as tired as Krist is looking since ep 10. They should have ended it earlier, give us a special Our Sky episode and everything is fine, but I guess I'm the only one who thinks sometimes less is more.

Decent show except romanticised sexual assault

Before the romanticized sexual assault in episode 6 (Edit: detailed spoiler description of it in comments) afterwards which i dropped it and have no knowledge of what happens afterwards, this show with all its cliches and minor faults was a strong 7.5+ for me. Just a regular run off the mill 'hidden feelings surface' plot with time travel sprinkled on top.

The main character was little annoying being 30 year old cosplaying a pre-pubescent teen in a 20 year old body but it was tolerable. Everyone in the show were doing some messed up, problematic or questionable things with Pear and Max being the resident collateral damage but it was tolerable and not bad as a viewer. So that's why it was 7.5 for me and not 8.

What instantly dropped the rating from 7.5+ to 5 overall was the fact that in episode 6 there is a scene b/w main characters where one of them is drunk and the other who is sober, engages in sexual activity (if an activity is sexual or not, it depends on the context) with him and only stops when he notices the protagonist being asleep and not before. All this happens whilst romantic music plays in the background. Thus romanticizing the activity happening in the scene.

Multiple respectable orgs and lawmaking institutions (courts/govt etc.) around the world state that drunk people (or intoxicated people) cannot give consent. And i personally hold the same belief.

Sexual Assault's definition on Wikipedia:
"Sexual assault takes many forms including attacks such as rape or attempted rape, as well as any unwanted sexual contact or threats. Usually a sexual assault occurs when someone touches any part of another person's body in a sexual way, even through clothes, without that person's consent."

That all being said,
Since i didn't watch past episode 6 (except the first 5-7 minutes of ep7 to see how the show handles the convo of 'what happened last night'.... - They romanticized/normalised it further whilst also spouting the dialogue "people have no idea what they do when drunk"), I can't comment if the story improves past ep6 or not.

Maybe they fix all storyline/character issues and the show becomes great, maybe they further mess up storyline and characters and the show becomes worse. I don't know and i won't know.

But what i do know is that the show romanticized sexual assault and i can't continue watching it post ep6. You can watch it, it's a decent show except that thing. And that's why the rating for me is 5 instead of 7.5+

A Second Chance Exploring Your "What-Ifs"

It's already clear the amount of fantastical potential this series has. Time traveling in itself isn't anything new, but this still feels fresh by adding an unexpected actor pairing, great production, and BL to the mix.

Even though I was initially skeptical of Krist and Gawin's chemistry, I'm not anymore. As many have pointed out, Krist really shines in this role. His portrayal of Kawi boosts the cute and unpredictable flavor of this series's comedy, while still representing his darker emotions when need be. And Gawin brought not only acting skills but also charm and rizz to the table with the insane number of enchanting gazes he gave within ep1 alone.

Seeing how Kawi's changes caused an interesting ripple effect through time-traveling makes me eager to keep watching! It's more difficult to get supernatural concepts right compared to other genres, yet Be My Favorite has the potential to be a surprising GMM classic.

This series pissed me the fuck off.

(I watched this a good while ago, maybe in 2023/24 , so I don't remember much, might delete or edit later)
I saw an edit of this series on insta and it intrigued me, so one fine day I sat down to watch it with my lil sis (also a fujoshi). I watched all 6 eps that day, and I really tried to watch it but I couldn't.
The sole reason is : Bodkawi.
Kawi is the main character of this series and he's also the most annoying one. The way he kept doing whatever he was doing to Pisaeng pissed me tf off. Like seriously? You're gonna keep kissing him when you're drunk and then go "phaaa , phaaa" when you're sober? (Yeah he says 'Pear' I know but I'm mocking him). We felt so bad for Pisaeng 😭.
No , we didn't want Kawi to randomly have eyes for only Pisaeng , since he's a (former) heterosexual male, but still, we didn't want this!
I don't remember much but I think there was a side couple though (they aren't a couple yet I just got vibes , with that delinquent guy and another guy ig?). They were interesting.
Didn't want to rate the music cause I don't remember since I didn't focus on it much, but had to to submit it.
Re-watch value is 0, But gave a 1 just to submit it. A nd the acting wasn't that great either, I don't know the cast either. It had potential.

If you could go back in time… would you do things differently?

Be My Favorite tells a heartwarming and slightly bittersweet story of second chances, time travel, and finding love in the most unexpected places. The plot follows Kawi, who finds himself transported to the past — giving him an opportunity to fix the regrets of his youth and perhaps, just maybe, win the heart of Pisaeng. Both leads, Pisaeng and Kawi, are charming in their own ways. Their characters are well-written, with personalities that feel grounded and relatable. The chemistry between them works because there's a strong sense of communication and emotional growth throughout the series. The character development is gradual and believable — nothing feels rushed or forced, which makes their evolving bond even more satisfying to watch. The story’s pacing is refreshing — the plot twists aren't always predictable, which kept me engaged. While there aren’t many NC scenes, there are definitely moments that gave me butterflies — soft, sweet, and full of emotional impact. The focus stays mostly on the two main characters, which allows their relationship to really shine. From a technical standpoint, the editing is solid, especially the transition scenes involving the magical time-traveling crystal ball — creative and nicely executed. It gives the series a unique charm.

🔧 Room for improvement:
While Pisaeng's character is lovable, the actor’s performance can feel a bit stiff in certain emotional scenes. Thankfully, Kawi’s actor really carries a lot of emotional weight and brings depth to their interactions.

✨ Overall, Be My Favorite is a gentle, introspective love story with just the right mix of humor, romance, and heartfelt moments. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy emotional BLs with a time-travel twist.
