Secret Crush on You

Cringe

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Student): Toh
T (Student): Neua

- Beginning: B has a crush on T but isn’t in the same circle as him. But one day he takes a picture of T that gets popular and T notices him.

- Middle: He start spending more time with T and realizes that he might like him a little bit too. They ended up together.

- End: Story ends with them together.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
N/A

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- The acting is really cringey. B’s friends are very cringey and B looks like a creep. All his actions are exagerated, making it unbearable to watch. I don’t understand why it is only with him when T and his friends seem perfectly normal. It’s really difficult to watch when you can’t even like the main character. If B had been normal and less extra, I would have loved this show because I really like T and I love the concept (I read some reviews saying it was fluffy, I think I agree).
- Their relationship seems really superficial. There is a lack of buildup before they got together. I really don’t understand why anyone would like B. I only continued watching wondering if B will change but he doesn’t.

**Conclusion**
An OK watch but probably won’t be revisiting.

So cringe?

Honestly im dissapointed by this drama cuz i thought/ expected it to be a lot better. First of all it was so cringe to watch because of toh's actions every two minutes i felt like it was to cringe to watch. Just before the last episode i gpt used to it a bit but to say its cute? No. I also feel like the storyline could have been better cuz there was not alot going on . Im proud i finished watching this, because i could have just dropped it halfway and im also disappointed cuz i was looking forward to watching it but it turned out to be a drama that was not worth watching for me. Would i recommend it? I dont think so, or maybe for the people who like a more cringe, boring, simple drama where there is not a lot going on

Interesting.

Okay… wow

Pros:
The acting was good.
The soundtrack was okay
The friendship dynamic was amazing.
The chemistry between couples was good.
The overall cinematography was well done.

Cons:
Seng’s character Toh.
The second hand embarrassment I felt.
The toxic and very creepy obsession.

The thing I hated most:
Toh was a full on stalker and everyone acted like it was okay. As a victim of stalking it was frightening to watch and have the light hearted spin put on it. It is not okay no matter what, so it was hard to view Toh as a protagonist and have sympathy for him.


The thing I liked most:
I liked how if one of the four friends were going through something they all supported each other, would cry for each other and would be there for each other no matter what.

I really hope to see Seng and Billy and Surprise and Heng in other series together with seng having a good character.

I don’t plan on rewatching this at all.

Not for everyone

So this show was a rollercoaster to get through, I watched eps 1-6 on my own and really wasn’t vibing with the show I didn’t like the nuea toh storyline and for as much as I loved the jao and sky storyline it wasn’t enough to keep me going past ep 6. But after a very long months break from the show I recently came back to it watching it with a friend and it helped to watch it with someone so I actually got through it and it definitely gets better as a show after ep 7 like ep 8 and on were the best eps but In the end I still didn’t fully like the nuea toh story I just didn’t really take to it or feel much of anything. I don’t think the chemistry was like all the way there but it could be that toh is just an awkward character that sometimes the chemistry gets a little cringey. I thought the sky jao scenes in ep 12/13 were better in terms of build up to it. Overall a solid show that takes some like faith to get through.

Save Yourself

So this show has been on my watchlist for quite sometime. I kept seeing reels of Billy and Seng from this and it looked cute so I added it. I can’t remember if I had watched the trailer or not, if I did then I don’t know why I continued to watch it so I clearly didn’t lol.

First of all, this show was absolutely terrible and I should’ve known because it was Idol Factory and they made GAP (I know this came before GAP) and that was also terrible. I also should’ve known it was gonna be creepy af based off of the novel title and the description, but silly delusional me thought it was going to be fine. No. It wasn’t.

I think all of the actors did a pretty decent job, if I had to play this kind of role idk what I would’ve done. It was some of the most cringey and creepy storytelling and plots I’ve watched, and I’ve seen Tonhon Chonlatee…so you know. Anyways, Toh has got to be the most insufferable character or a TV show. He’s so pick me shy guy, and literally has no fucking chill. We know you like Nuea, stop smiling and giggling at anything that anyone says to you. And I’m sorry can we talk about the temper tantrum at the movies because what the actual FUCK was that??? ARE YOU 5!? And tbh, if I were Nuea when I found the SHRINE of myself in my boyfriend’s bedroom and the VACUUM SEALED TRASH and whatever else was in those boxes…jail. IMMEDIATELY. In my opinion, he didn’t freak out about it as much as he should have. I know you knew he was already kind of weird, we all are, BUT…bestie…you’re just as delusional as me when I thought this was going to be a good show. All you could think about was Toh leaving you, which I guess is understandable but at the same time like…? Idk man everything was terrible about their relationship. It was kind of cute sometimes, but Toh is just so unlikeable I can’t. He’s genuinely so embarrassing and idk how he has friends.

So uhhh ANYWAYS…the stuff I liked about this show. Sky and Jao. That’s it. They were the ONLY saving grace to this show. Sure the flirting for a week with Jao was just a game but it turned into Sky actually liking and wanting to pursue him, meanwhile you find out that Jao has also had a secret crush on him, but was lowkey playing hard to get lol jk he was just scared obviously because Sky is a known player, so how could they be together? How could Sky be with someone like him? It took a lot of convincing from Sky and his friends, that it was okay for them to be together. Jao is very insecure but I love that throughout the series, the more Sky talks to him about why he likes him and that he’s serious, the more comfortable Jao feels with him, the more they fit together and I’m just crying. Sky is what Prapai wishes he could be (Even though I love Sky and Prapai from LITA), but idk Sky was just so amazing for Jao and I liked the fact that Jao didn’t feel like he needed Sky to fix him. Sky was just able to help Jao let go of some of his insecurities which I loved AND he never did anything to Jao (kissing, etc) without either asking him first (we love consent!) or not continuing to do something when he realized Jao was uncomfortable. I would have stopped watching this show if it weren’t for them honestly. They were the best part about it and I would have liked if they were the main leads instead. It’s very rare that I don’t care about the main couple so this is really saying something.

Anyways, if you read all of this thank you for coming to my TedTalk. I don’t know why people rated this show a 10. The acting was over the top, the plot was creepy and cringey and I just don’t know how you can genuinely say you liked it. But whatever floats your boat I guess. Unfortunately it sank mine so yeah. Bye!

Daisy and Intouch deserved more screen time

This series is amazing if you don’t really pay attention to Toh but if he made you have second hand embarrassment each second that means the actor (Seng) is amazing, because he played the cringy character well and I think that if I was acting as him I wouldn’t be able to do it because it’s to cringy. My favorite couple was Intouch and Daisy because they were so cute together and I was so made because they really only got shown at like the last 3 episodes and they had so much potential to be the main couple because I still remember the scene where Daisy was afraid of dating a Intouch because she doesn’t know if he’s okay with being with a trans person, but when Intouch overheard it he told Daisy that he doesn’t care if he’s a guy or a girl because he will still love her either way which literally made me sob so much and I want someone like Intouch because it shows that he loves Daisy so much no matter what way she acts or what gender she is. This series showed each type of LGBT characters in a different way which shows everybody needs to be loved you have straight characters, gay characters, a trans character, and lesbian characters that were played in a way that you’d enjoy their couples no matter what. This series didn’t really disappoint,
I definitely recommend this series it would keep you wanting more and more each episode.

It’s not a bad plot for a story but the ML’s are….

I’m struggling to get through episode eight of this series mostly cause I just don’t wanna drop a series I’m more than half way through but, the two ML’s I do not feel any authentic chemistry between them. It’s far from the actors fault no I real feel all them give great portrayals of each character, it’s just….

1. What is supposed to actually be the main reason/motivation behind Neua’s attraction to Toh? Toh’s character is not endearing in anyway it’s really just cringey and embarrassing behavior with actions that seem more juvenile and completely unhinged obsession. Neua’s character also lacks any real charisma or depth beyond “he’s the hottest guy on campus” motif; it’s also weird that for college age d students who’d I think would be anywhere from 18-21 would act more like they’re 12/13 year olds and it’s just not cute.

2. I prefer Jao’s and Sky’s relationship theirs seems more genuine and real, granted I wish that Jao would stop being so stubborn and let himself open up more to Sky within a faster pace. As for the side characters (when they’re not centered around Toh or Neua) they’re generally amazing very lil to no problems with them.

Overall I wouldn’t say that I would rewatch this series it’s story and plot could’ve been much more if the writing and character direction didn’t suffer from cringey actions and awkward behavior that was supposed to come off as endearing but just felt creepy

You get DUMBER AS YOU WATCH

This bl is horrible and the script is stupid beyond belief. THE Main character, Toh is so useless, annoying, and a creep. This boy can't act like a normal human being for even 2 seconds so he can't be taken seriously.  I am hanging on for dear life with this one. I keep wishing and praying that the drama would make some SENSE ( even if its just a little.) ITS NEVER DOES. I am going to keep watching this nonsense because surprisingly it is an EASY but very ANNOYING WATCH.



Why do i have to write 500 words to complete my review. This drama consists of nothingness so i dont think it merits me to write 500 words to complete my review of it.

I'm sorry but this is awful

I'm sorry to people that liked this show idm your opinions but out of all Thai BLs I've watched, this is the worst. I'm struggling to finish it as I like to give an honest opinion after hearing the entire thing out but I hate this show. Toh is great for fleshing out the plot but I cannot stand him. He is just such an unlikeable character I can't see any development in his character except him accepting he's ugly?? The writers could've fleshed out the whole bullying thing but they didn't and all that really happened was they sobbed a little and their boyfriends magically fixed their insecurities....also Jao being called "fat" is so weird to me as he is most definitely not, compared to others saying those comments he's about the same. It's just overall odd and I really am struggling to finish the show. I have to stop myself from going on my phone during it because I dislike it that much.....I'm normally one to try dig deeper into the whole mental thoughts and portrayals beyond the show (such as the creepy stalker behaviour WHICH IS NOT NORMAL??!!) but this just feels so brain numbing and mushy that all I see is annoying cringe guy somehow whips a jock by putting a dumb gift on his car door....honestly.....

EDIT

After finishing the show it did not get any better and ended shitty like I expected. Absolute waste of time I wish to never remember this series. Another thing I realised pissed me off about Toh was how HE WOULD NOT STOP DOING THAT GODDAMN SMILE!!!! EVEN IN CRYING SCENES HE WOULD KEEP SMILING IT TURNED INTO AN ICK. I have lost all remaining sanity.
