Sweet and fun
I really enjoyed this series. The characters were cute. I especially like Nhai’s character because he seems like a lovable airhead. I did feel it started to lose focus in the later episodes and things are left hanging a little bit. It seemed more like it was intending to have another season. However, I still liked it and have already watched a second time.I am wondering what other series are in this same universe now that I realize Tonhon Chonlatee is about Ton and his neighbor. They seem to indicate Nan and Sib had their own dramatic story and leave the plot with Nine and his interest open, so I am curious what other series have these same characters.
All-in-all, it’s a lighthearted series and I love the casual touching and hugging that the main characters do a great job of showing. One of the things that some BL series lack is the intimacy when NOT in a sexual situation. It kind of kills it if the actors seem standoffish unless in a bed scene and this one is not like that.

Can't complain!
This show was simple. It was cute, fun, and lighthearted. No conflict lasted long and the relationship was a fairly happy one.I can't complain much about this show. Nhai didn't think he liked men, but when Ai and him become close, he starts to question himself. To see if it's true, he decides to move in with Ai as a trial run.
Nothing too special happened in this one. Gay people got to be happy and that makes me happy. There's no question of whether or not you'll be accepted for being gay when you've got two dads, so homophobia was never really an issue. The plotline between Ai and his mom was a little bit odd, but it didn't make a huge dent in the show anyways. Overall an enjoyable and easy watch.

Don't waste your time
I have a simple request from the screenwriter, Run... Could you please stop experiencing secreenwriting? I'm terribly sorry, but this is not what we expect from a BL drama. Seriously, I feel like I wasted my time. I've been watching BL dramas for more than two years, but I never felt I wasted my time. I like you as an actor, please get back to acting and making us smile. I don't want to be mean for anyone, and I do excuse if my comment would hurt anyone. However, there is no point in watching a wifey who has no idea what falling in love is. The wifey is so selfish that our poor hubby tries his best to please him. I won't even mention his dowdiness besides his uncleanliness. He never manages to love sincerely although his hubby is crazy about him. I am absolutely sure hubby would be happier if he met someone else. Last but not least, what we want to see in the dramas is the real love with all sorts of sacrificies available. Please do not waste all these handsome boys with amazing acting abilities with simple or absurd drama stories.Was this review helpful to you?

Really.......What was the point?
I've watched many BL series and up to now, sadly, this is the worst.....so disappointed as I was really looking forward to this but it was all just hype!Such a shame as I loved the characters as in Ai, Nhai, and their friends and family but the story or lack thereof was a serious issue.
Boy meets boy, fall in love, end of!
Nhai was too childish and spoiled by everyone so I could not take him seriously....Side love interests were far too short, virtually nonexistent and in fact, should not really have been included....
The bad guys needn't have been in it all for the impact they had, a couple of sentences, and they are gone.....
The NC scenes were laughable hardly a proper kiss among the many scenes.....
I can't believe I sat through 8 hours of this drivel that imo, could have been 1 x 2hr episode....
I could carry on venting but again "Really .....what's the point? "

Why am i torturing myself?!
This series is one if the most painful I've seen since Dr. Cha on Netflix. I should have dropped this ages ago. The Viki subtitles- are they even Viki - are the worst.Production quality is dreadful. Script is non-existent. So much so, the struggling actor sut in awkward silence half the time.
I do like the actor who plays Ai and I would like to see more of him in the future. Nhai actor is still developing the craft and his character isn't doing him any favors. Support the cast - in another show.

confusing
im genuinly so confused on what was going on for the main story of this BL, there was alot of choppy parts and the stupidity or nhai was just... anyways i couldnt wrap my head around anything that was happening in the entire show, the random part where ai gave his bone marrow to his sister or something was so random?? and the fact he fell inlove with someone who looked JUST like his stepdad in his eyes was a bit creepy, i get that maybe he idolised his stepdad but still it kinda freaked me out a little bit. its cute dont get me wrong and its quite lovey dovey in some bits but i feel like they tried to add some sad scenes into it and it just did not work out whatsoever.nhais character aswell is extremely childish and stupid which can make the show unbearable to watch in my opinion but again that is most likely just a preference T_T

Not the worst, but just so bland
By the time I reached episode 5, I was seriously starting to wonder what I was even staying for. At episode 7, I was like, yep okay that’s it. I’m out. Life is too short to waste on BLs that don’t excite.The storyline lacks depth and novelty, especially in 2022, when the BL industry has matured beyond simple college plots. It’s getting increasingly difficult for a college BL to stand out, so either unique storylines and/or exceptional chemistry between the leads would have to do all the heavy lifting.
Ai Long Nhai would have probably done a lot better if it existed some years back. In 2022, it simply couldn't keep up.
There are some serious B-grade BLs out there filled with downright laughable moments, but ALN isn’t one of them. It’s not that the show is terrible – I can’t find anything that’s exceptionally terrible about the series, but maybe that was it. It was just so remarkably bland.
The characters are predictable and boring, and the storyline couldn't keep me hooked either.

Oh well…
I was contemplating whether I should watch this series, I even read through the reviews… though they were mostly quite negative. After I finish watching this… I do kind of agree with the reviews… there were a lot of plot holes and there were places where they could’ve elaborated and extended the story but they didn’t, some scenes were like jumping from here to there which makes me kinda confused. Adding on, I think there’s some issues with the translations… and it made me go “what?” when watching😶Was this review helpful to you?
super extended
The series is super extended and time waste, it can be cut down to 4 ep at max.Focused only and only on the main couple, no focus given to 2nd or 3rd 'couple'. It's like the base story was changed mid-production.
It doesnt show any struggle with each other or anything at all to the matter, too vanilla.
Nhai is a brainless bagoon and Ai is cute, rich who has a crush on him - something which we have seen time & time again.
