Meen and Arm were the main reasons I made until the end.
So many cons so little time.Aerospace Engineering is an incredibly difficult facility, so someone please tell me how Nhai managed not only to enter the facility but to have the grades to stay in it. Nhai must be some village’s idiot, the guy gets lost on the way to his OWN dorm room, groans like an 80 year old man when he gets up, and is more interested in eating than paying attention to what’s going on around him. The poor ducky keychain is on the floor more often than in Nhai’s possession.
Another huge pet peeve of mine is if you’re going to give the supporting characters a possible partner at least do it properly. There certainly was enough time, with so little actually occurring, 45 mins of very slow reactions and pauses between lines.
Only when Ai’s mother was spoken about or in the actual scene were there any real animation in the actors.
This had the ability to be a really good series, but the direction let it down, and possibly tightening up the script (Sorry Run, as a side note I really enjoyed you in Second Chance). It had a capable cast but they had so little to work with.
Now for the pros…, this shouldn’t take long. Which is what saved the rating from having fewer stars.
For a first outing Arm did an awesome job as Jaonan I’ve been waiting for years to see him and Porsche in a series together.
Excuse while I pause here to objectify Meen’s beautiful body, which was sadly abused every time the script called for him to pick Ping up. Being about the same height and weight made for an odd looking way to carry someone around,
The actress who portrayed Ai’s mother was my favourite actor because she the acme of the evil (step) mother complete with shrill scream, Without her this would have been like watching paint dry.
Minor things that I liked were: Nhai’s father was reaction to meeting Ai, asking him if he knew what he was getting into.
Brother Singh’s moral support and educating Nhai’s father. Ai’s patience while Nhai worked out if he could accept a relationship with a guy. The friend’s making sure of Ai’s intentions. Jida and Jom for making Nhai feel a bit jealous, and helped him work out he really did want Ai.

Attraction of opposites student drama , that is cute and funny. Love v sausages.
If you are looking for something earnest indepth, like the Eight Sense or Tokyo in April, this is not for you. If you want something to watch that is has charectors that you would like to meet, that is not medodramatic, full of lack of communication,and angest,and gives you a smile, then you might like it.The worst thing about this is the title, which gives you no idea of the content, and the opening episode which sets the plot, get past that and its very enjoyable.
There are a lot of poor reviews for this, mainly about the plot. It's not Kinn Porche, which is plot dense, its charm is its a normal tale of love, not a hyped up version, full of tortured longing looks and misunderstandings. Having working with a lot of young male students, the obession with food( they will know the number of every fast food outlet that will deliver), sex, alcohol, sport and DnD type games is accurate.
One ML is tall, handsome, rich, smart and a seriel bed hopper, so doesn't make a lot of effort in relationships, and a bit of a neat freak.
The other male lead, is cute, a bit of a romantic, but lives his life a mess disorganised clutter, obessed with food, constantly losing things and himself, and his friends shepherd him constantly.
This could be a standard student drama if it wasn't for the writing and particulary the comic performance of , Ping Krittanun Aunchananunhe, the charector could be the really annoying but its played with charm. I haven't seen a charector written like this since Lorrelei Lee in Gentleman Prefer Blondes(1953),' I can be smart when it's important' He looks fluffy on the outside but actually covers up that he is astute so he thinks things through, and has a steel crow bar for a spine, and gets his own way by being either charmingly befuddled or very direct about what he wants. So the main comedy is that the Mr Cool ends up in often exasperated submission.
The story moves a long well, all misunderstanding and the villians plot are solved quickly. The plot is mainly how their realationship changes and deepens, and having consumed a lot of these student dramas recently, still trying to get over Weak Class Hero, I think this is much better than Bad Buddy, which mainly consists of two people being pretty aweful to each other most of the time, and full of the love hate cliches. The realtionship in this drama based on communication and honesty.
Episode 5, is my favorite, it covers raiding the all you can eat buffet, the enevertable drunk outcome, a frank discussion of sex scene, and then the head down the toilet. In all great evening out.
Its a refreshing change from the what seems the constant theme of sexual and student bullying of males and females that seems to be in just about every student drama, and the idea that to show you like someone you have to be nasty to them. The supporting charectors are nice supportive people, even the females!
Not often I give a 10.

It's like watching a series without a plot, without characters development ???
I will not say i didn't like this series, basically i wasted some time watching it....the acting was actually good and the only thing that kept me watching was the straight forwardness in the dialogue, it was pretty entertaining...nothing more!
the actors have great chemistry more than the series characters? i mean ?? how so?
i don't know who to blame, the screen writer or the story writer or the cursed translation....
what was the plot again?
i wish to see more contents for these actors

THIS IS ON AI AND NHAI FROM TONHON CHONLATEE??!?!?
i watched this series way back, just finished tonhon chonlatee so i came here to write a review and what did i see,THIS WAS MADE ON THE HOUSEMATES OF TONCHON?
If it wasnt for that, i would've rated it decently since although cliche plot, i like actors especially the dads but this fact was outrageous.
Since 2gether, mantype were my ot ship and they did a great job in tonchon series, at the least they could do was caste the people who looked similar🤌
This is such a disappointment

Did anything actually happen?
Saying that is in anyway related to Tonhon Chonlatee is criminal. Let’s leave aside the fact that the cast is completely different (makes sense, they were done by different companies), but the story doesn’t even fit with it. I am not familiar with the novels the two series were based off, but seeing the novels were done by the same author, I would have expected at least some consistency when it came to the plot.Let’s start with the good first. I love the relationship between Sippakorn (Ai’s father) and his partner Nan. Nan didn’t get that much screen time, but I feel like whenever he was present, he stole the show. I loved his character. And the fact that the actors who play them, Porsch and Arm, are real life partners is amazing! They didn’t need much more than a simple look to see their love and I was there for it!
Another great part of the series was Nhai’s friend group. They are all aware that their friend is not very bright and extremely whiny, but they accept him for who is. And they are not afraid to tell him that when the chance presents itself (e.g. the reason for the ducky keychain).
Now, the not so great part – Nhai. As I mentioned before, he is kind of dumb and whiny, to the point of it being extremely annoying. I don’t even know how I sat through all 12 episodes of it, but I did. Only for there to be absolutely no character growth for him. I found the conversations others had with him boring and with no meaning. The subtitles were horrible as well, so I am sure certain things got lost in the translation, but I doubt the dialogue was actually much better. The only redeeming act of his that I can think of is how he delt with Ai’s mom. That’s it.
Ai can be a brat, but he is a brat that knows how to take care of himself. And his boyfriend. I found him much easier to tolerate. I think there was much more thought put into creating his character. His backstory showed his character growth as well, which was great to see.
Oh, one more thing that I liked was that no matter how annoying Nhai is, at least he knows how to communicate – we don’t see that very often, so it was really refreshing to see. Do you know how many conflicts can be avoided by just talking about it?
As for the plot, was there even one? I feel like there was no real plot, yet there were so many plot holes in the end, that I don’t even know where we got them from. I also feel like the story was unnecessary long and dragged out – and that is coming from a person who usually complains that the series are too short. I feel like if they only focused on Ai and Nhai getting together, made it a cute and short series with like 6 episodes, it would be much better.

Random Note:
I should have listened to my initial gut reaction to not watch this series, but gave it a shot when it became available on Viki. I was also giving a MFlow production another chance before I completely give-up on them. Yet again, I was proven wrong.
The English subtitle on Viki were pretty bad (I didn’t take points off for this). It seemed they stopped caring and gave up after episode 2. The subtitles had a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. There were times they were so incoherent that I had no idea what the actors were saying. There were other times that there were no subtitles at all.

Rape is not love
It seems that Thai BL only ever have two kinds of gay people, Camp or rapist. Why do they just keep on regurgitating the same old rubbish over and over again, can't they find any new stories? The worst thing about it is I could probably tolerate it if they didn't have to make them such disgusting filth all the time.You do not love someone if you rape them!
Rape should not be glorified!
Childlike moron at university, what is he studying? He seems to have the brain capacity of a preteen
Can we just have someone hate their rapist one time, maybe be angry and tell them to never come near them again. Maybe get them arrested or my favorite, stab them and leave them bleeding in the street.
I watched this on Youtube and I seemed to be the only person in the comments complaining so maybe people like glorified rape, that would explain why they keep making this kind of garbage

Just don't judge thai bls from this series
Just the worst acting and a crappy story led to this. I mean what's with the obsession with a keychain and they just kiss in the second episode without any buildup just so out of the scene.Just putting 2 guys in a series and tell them to just fall in love doesn't work, WE NEED A STORY. NO amount of NC scenes could have helped. Seriously I am disappointed with myself to even think of starting this series. I lost my brain cells watching this.
For anyone who is watching his first thai series as this just please don't lose hope. Their are others who are much better.

University BL with bad acting
Unlike many others, I don't mind university set BLs and I've liked or loved most of the ones I've watched so far. However, this was I minded. It wasn't good. It wasn't even actually decent.A few people recommended this to me and every sing one of them failed to mention how bad the acting was. This has got to be some of the worst acting this year. It also didn't help that the subtitles were awful and at times nonsensical but even with perfect subtitles, the acting is still bad. I can't recall any of the actors giving at least decent performance.
There were side characters & side couples with their own stories & they're so forgettable that the script forgot them as well. So there isn't much to say about them except that they exist.
I dropped it mainly because halfway through I found out that one of the main characters was a minor during filming. The thought that that 16 to 17 year old was doing all those kissing scenes and love scenes with an adult in a room full of adults made my skin crawl. The BL industry needs to stop pairing minors with adults. It's creepy and should not be a thing.

Tão fofo!
Conheci os atores em My Dear Gangster Oppa e resolvi assistir a esse BL porque gostei da química entre eles. Percebi que o estilo de trabalho deles parece mais suave—posso estar enganada, mas é essa a impressão que tive. E isso não é uma crítica! Acho que esse tipo de dinâmica combina super bem com os dois.Sinceramente, eu não esperava muito dessa história, inclusive nem sabia se ia continuar assistindo. Mas desde o primeiro episódio, me senti envolvida. Não é um T-drama com um roteiro super elaborado, mas é daquele tipo que deixa o coração quentinho.
Por outro lado, senti que algumas pontas ficaram soltas—como a questão da mãe do Ai e o segredo que ela contou ao Nhai. Sem falar nos outros três pseudo casais, que até tiveram uma certa introdução, mas não tiveram desenvolvimento nenhum.
No mais, é isso: uma história fofa e divertida, que vai te arrancar risadas e alguns suspiros apaixonados também.

Un BL bien travaillé qui sort des stéréotypes habituels.
MERCI😍, ce BL rentre direct dans mon top.Enfin un BL travaillé avec soin qui ne cherche pas à cocher toutes les cases des BL.
Ces moments identiques à presque toutes les séries tel que:
- la fille jalouse et mauvaise
- le parent intolérant
- la dispute/rupture pour un malentendu
- le personnage principal un peu bête qui ne comprend rien et se laisse écrasé par tout le monde
- les histoires secondaires inintéressantes ou mal travaillées.
Et bien là, rien de tout ça, et même si certains points sont repris, le scénario les travail de manière différente et original. C'est tellement agréable de ne pas deviner le déroulement de l'histoire 3 épisodes à l'avance.
On se concentre sur les 2 protagonistes et la construction de leur amour, et non pas une énième tentative de drague où on se tourne autour pendant 10 épisodes.
La série se construit autour de l'amour, de l'acceptation, du respect, de l'amitié... Comme quoi pas besoin d'ajouter du drama lourd et bâcler à chaque épisode pour réaliser une très belle série.

non c’è bisogno di guardare per forza TonhonChonlatee per vederla / carina, nulla di impegnativo
La prima volta che ne ho sentito parlare ho sentito fosse una serie collegata a TonhonChonlatee, serie che ho visto e mi è sembrata decente, però all’inizio non capivo perfettamente la cosa del cambio attori ecc.Adesso direi che la situazione cambio attori è stata una buona scelta, oltre al fatto che se non avessero cambiato attori non avrebbero potuto fare sta serie in quanto Mike e Toptap non lavorano più assieme (cosa che mi rende triste, li ho sempre amati), in ogni caso mi è piaciuto vedere nuovi attori e sopratutto come abbiano cambiato il personaggio di Tonhon, non omofobo e più sopportabile.
In generale posso dire che non c’è bisogno di guardare per forza TonhonChonlatee per vedere questa perché non c’è alcun collegamento particolare oltre ai personaggi Ai, Nhai, Ton e Chon, personaggi che a dire la verità li vedo pure differenti dall’altra serie, quindi andate tranquilli.
Questa serie è veramente carina.
La trama è semplice e carina, peccato che non l’abbiano sviluppata e allargata meglio, mi avrebbe fatto piacere vedere come andava a finire con la madre di Ai e bho anche più azione, è stato tutto molto tranquillo e nullo. Diciamo che è quel tipo di serie che puoi guardare senza farti problemi, infatti non si lasciano neanche.
Loro sono una bella coppia, sono carinissimi.
Il loro inizio per me è stato altamente incasinato e non capisco neanche come siano finiti insieme ma vabbè l’importante è che si amino.
È veramente incapibile come Ai faccia a sopportare Nhai nonostante sia così lamentoso ma allo stesso tempo è carino, capisco Ai ahahah
La cosa che mi ha fatto morire di più di Nhai è quando la madre di Ai gli ha detto che si sarebbe dovuto lasciare con lui ma Nhai ha rifiutato, lì ero preoccupata facesse come gli era stato detto dato che succede sempre nelle serie, invece mi ha colpito come fosse così sicuro, ho amato questa cosa.
Poi sinceramente una cosa che mi ha infastidito è l’ossessione di Ai per il sesso, ogni tre quarti voleva farlo, mi scassava sta cosa, mi pareva un pò maniaco aiuto.
Parlando di altro, mi dispiace come abbiano fatto finire la storia di quei due, quello che mandava continuamente regali segreti all’altro, poi si sono incontrati ma doveva partire per l’estero e quindi è finita lì; è stato triste, mi è dispiaciuto un botto perchè erano bellini.
In generale posso dire che veramente questa serie non è nulla di impegnativo ed è carina.
