Will edit with it starts
Congratulations boys especially to my man Saint! You finally did it! You've given opportunities to others especially your brother Seng. Excited about this! I heard it's a top-rated novel. I hope to find the translation to the novel since I'm so excited! Is there really a GL? I don't know yet. After seeing the fitting today, I must say that the cast was well chosen! It's more than what I expected and I am so glad about that! I hope COVID will soon be resolved for everyone's safety and so you guys can start filming. Wishing everyone well! Fully supporting Secret Crush On You :)Was this review helpful to you?
A Lead You'll Want to Punch 10 Minutes Into the Show
Ordinarily, I enjoy dramas about a nerd who is in love with the class star, as I’ve seen that plot handled very well in other dramas. But in this one, the nerd is so horrifyingly obnoxious that there's no way to make it believable for the class star to fall for him. Forget a class star, even the audience wants to punch this nerd within the 1st ten minutes of the show.He smiles ceaselessly, even when he's alone, as if his smile were permanently carved into his face like The Joker's. This is even more of a problem when one’s smile vacillates between creepy and goofy. His body movement is all jerky, spastic motions that are meant to be cute but are, instead. just plain idiotic. Between the creepy/goofy smile and the spastic body movements, he actually comes off as a slow-witted special ed kid.
Then we have the class star and his gang, whom the costume designer for some reason decided to put in lipstick. No kidding, the cast is all wearing lipstick – the guys, the girls, all of them. They all wear the same shade of pink lipstick. Now, the costume designer did create cute school uniforms with powder blue, white trimmed jackets and ties, but albeit cute, this was still unwise because we know from other BL’s that no Thai university has such uniforms. They wear black slacks/skirts with white button-down tops at all Thai universities. But hey, even if the uniforms in this show are unrealistic, at least they are appealing. Nothing else is.
The lead is so unappealing that if the audience can’t stand him in the first 10 minutes, there is no way to make it believable that the class star will fall for him. Of course, we know that the plot will contrive to make the class star fall for him, but it will not be believable. It's far more plausible for the class star to bash the nerd's teeth in just to end that ceaseless smile. I, myself, wanted to reach through my screen and gag him so he'd stop shrieking every time he saw his beloved on campus. I felt the same about his gang of friends, who are also constantly shrieking, clapping, and jumping. Oh, that’s when they are not helping their nerd pal to stalk the class star.
And let’s talk about the stalking. The nerd saves anything his beloved touches, including empty soda cans, which he retrieves from the trash and adds to his vast collection of other souvenirs his beloved has touched. He keeps these souvenirs in his bedroom, which is wallpapered with pix of his beloved from floor to ceiling on all 4 walls. He also has a life-size cardboard cutout of his beloved, which is bad enough. But here's the kicker: he has a blanket with a life-size pix of his beloved so that he can lie on top of the pix and kiss it. He does this while fantasizing that the pix has come alive and kisses him back. It’s not merely creepy, it’s serial killer creepy.
I know the director wanted us to find this all quirky and endearing. Alas, the kid is already so unlikeable based on his facial expressions and mannerisms that once the audience sees his serial killer bedroom in the 1st episode, there's no coming back. The show simply cannot redeem itself from this premise. It is a total FAIL.

It's creepy and should not be normalised
The fact that so many people find this stalkerish behaviour "cute" is problematic in itself. The obsession the MC has is very concerning and he should be locked up at a mental facility for the things he does and has 'in his room'.This obsessively borderlines on serious mental health issues and it should not be normalised under any circumstances. There is nothing cute or adorable about a guy being so obsessed with someone he hasn't talked to to begin with. Each character is dumber than the other and the dumbest and creepiest of all is the lead.

It was uncomfortable
ENGI'm at a loss for words. I'm after one episode and I know I won't be able to watch more.
This BL series is uncomfortable, the main character brings me to the highest level of embarrassment and his obsession really scares me and makes me uncomfortable. Rarely do so many negative emotions accompany me when I watch BL, but here there are too many.
I don't even want to give this a chance and watch another episode, it's definitely the worst BL I've ever had the chance to see.
PL
Brakuje mi słów. Jestem po jednym odcinku i wiem, że więcej nie dam rady obejrzeć.
Ten serial BL jest niekomfortowy, główny bohater doprowadza mnie do najwyższego poziomu zażenowania, a jego obsesja mnie naprawdę przeraża i wprowadza w niekomfortowość. Rzadko kiedy tyle negatywnych emocji towarzyszy mi, gdy oglądam BL, ale tutaj jest ich zbyt wiele.
Nie chcę nawet dać temu szansy i obejrzeć kolejny odcinek, zdecydowanie jest to najgorsza z BL jakie kiedykolwiek miałam okazje widzieć.

Very cringe, creepy vibes, stalker
Unfortunately, Secret Crush on You didn't work for me at all. In fact, it's one of the most cringe-worthy series I've ever attempted to watch. I only made it through 3 episodes before deciding to drop it – the content was just too much for me to handle.It's worth noting that my dislike isn't directed at the actors themselves; I've enjoyed their work in other series. However, Toh's character in this particular show crossed a line for me. Instead of coming across as someone with a genuine crush, his behavior felt more like stalking, which I found deeply unsettling. Adding to the discomfort was the complete lack of chemistry between the leads, making it hard for me to invest in their relationship. It is just too much that I always had secondhand embarrassment every time he appeared.
The one aspect that did stand out was the cinematography. It's clear that a lot of effort and budget went into creating visually stunning scenes. The school uniforms were also impressively designed, adding to the overall aesthetic.
Despite these positives, the series' problematic elements overshadowed them for me. If you're sensitive to certain themes or behaviors, you might want to approach this series with caution.

BY FAR THE CREEPIEST AND DUMB BL SERIES I'VE SEEN
First of all, the first episode made me realized that in order to engaged to your audience you don't have to be creepy and stupid just to stand out! The first scene sets off the mood! Imagine you stalked and collect anything your crush touches or used?? CREEPY!!! Secondly, Toh's hair and face is dumb as F!!! How c an anyone fall for this kind of person?? He is heading for a full blown serial killer and possibly a murderer! Acting is over the top, script sucks, plot sucks, writers of this series doesn't have the right to make BL series. Waste of production money, time and effort!I DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PIECE OF SHIT! I rather watch spongebob than continuously seeing Toh's creepy face and acting for 13 episodes! NO WAY!

Não indico pra quem tem estomago fraco pra vergonha alheia
Me disseram “aguenta firme, melhora depois”. Eu fui forte. Eu tentei. Mas olha… doeu. Doeu real. Teve cena que eu precisei pular porque meu corpo entrou em modo colapso de vergonha alheia. Eu quase pedi desculpa pro meu cérebro por submeter ele a certos diálogos.A série tenta ser uma comédia romântica excêntrica com personagens caricatos e muito cringe assumido. E até aí, tudo bem. O problema é que em vários momentos parece que o roteiro se esforça pra ser propositalmente constrangedor, e não no bom sentido. Era como assistir a um compilado infinito de vergonha alheia. Aquele humor em excesso, as situações absurdas, a atuação meio exagerada… tudo isso junto me tirava da imersão em vez de me fazer rir. E olha que eu adoro uma bobagem bem feita, mas aqui o equilíbrio não veio.
O protagonista Toh é um caso à parte. O ator deu tudo de si, isso é visível, mas o personagem foi escrito como uma caricatura do fã obcecado, até num nível que ficou desconfortável de assistir. As cenas dele stalkeando o Nuea (e sendo recompensado por isso!) me deixaram com a sobrancelha lá no teto. E se a proposta era falar sobre amor não convencional ou sobre superar inseguranças… ficou perdido no exagero.
Mas… nem tudo foi desastre.
Depois da metade, a série até tenta entrar num ritmo mais emocional e traz umas cenas mais sensíveis entre os dois, com um romance mais “normalizado”. E aí sim, funciona. Quando para de exagerar e começa o equilíbrio, até consegue emocionar em alguns momentos. A química entre os atores não é ruim, o problema é que ela foi soterrada por episódios e episódios de performances ultra forçadas.
E também dá pra elogiar a tentativa (mesmo falha) de quebrar alguns estereótipos e colocar personagens LGBTQIAPN+ fora do padrão bonitinho e idealizado. Há uma tentativa de mostrar diferentes formas de amar e se expressar, o que é sempre válido, só faltou um pouco mais de equilíbrio e bom senso na execução.
Definitivamente Secret Crush On You exige paciência, filtro emocional e talvez um botão de avanço rápido. Tem boas intenções, algumas cenas doces e um elenco esforçado, mas o humor extremo e o roteiro perdido tornam a jornada difícil. Se você sobrevive ao começo, até pode encontrar um coração no meio do caos… mas não sem levar uns belos tropeços pelo caminho.

Débile mais super choupinou
J'avais regardé 3 minutes de ce drama avant de laisser tomber il y a quelques mois. Et puis je ne sais pas ce qui m'a fait retourner sur la page de la série, en tout cas j'ai relu des commentaires et beaucoup disent la même chose : passé le premier épisode, on se surprend à apprécier l'histoire, et c'est vrai.L'intrigue tourne autour d'une bande composée de 4 amis un peu cons et surtout stalkers qui ont pour habitude d'avoir des crush secrets sur des gens populaires. Leur club un peu creepy comporte des règles strictes mais surtout, ils se soutiennent sans faille et ne jugent pas leurs délires mutuels et leurs différences. Le héros, Toh, un binoclard avec une horrible coupe au bol, se fait remarquer par son crush Nuea après avoir pris une super photo de lui pendant un match de basket interuniversitaire. A partir de là, c'est le démarrage de leur romance, ainsi que celle de son pote Jao, un peu grassouillet mais mimi (enfin grassouillet, pas tant que ça, c'est juste le scénario qui le dit), avec Sky, l'ami play-boy de Nuea.
Alors on ne va pas se mentir, il y a beaucoup de scènes craignos au début, nos quatre mousquetaires se comportent de manière stupide et souvent gênante, les personnages surjouent à fond, le héros a l'air d'un gros débile chaque fois qu'il est en présence de Nuea et l'histoire dégouline de guimauve pratiquement à chaque scène. Mais malgré ça, on se surprend à apprécier les personnages et à les trouver attachants, leur amitié indéfectible est géniale, leurs manies sont bien analysées, les acteurs ont beau surjouer on comprend que c'est le scénario qui a prévu ça du coup j'ai trouvé qu'ils s'en sortaient bien, on a énormément de scènes de bisous à la fois très belles et très romantiques, et surtout, nos héros ont la chance de s'être dégottés des chéris aussi patients que tendres avec eux, et prêts à accepter leurs bizarreries. Alors bien sûr, l'intrigue en elle-même n'a rien d'exceptionnel et on nous ressort les mêmes ficelles que dans tout BL universitaire qui se respecte (les chambres étudiantes, le voyage de cohésion au bord de la plage, les beuveries avec le héros ivre pris en charge par son crush, le séjour humanitaire visant à rafraîchir une école de province, les présentations aux parents, etc.). Mais en même temps c'est plutôt bien fait, certains dialogues ne sont pas si cons, vers la fin le drama prend une tournure un peu plus grave et aborde la question de l'acceptation de soi et de ses différences. Finalement le gros point négatif pour moi, c'est surtout la frustration que j'ai ressentie de ne pas voir se développer en détail la relation entre Daisy, le personnage trans de leur club de neuneus, et Intouch. Mais au moins lui aussi a droit au bonheur et c'est cool.
Bref, il y avait tous les ingrédients pour classer ce drama dans la catégorie des crétineries à zapper d'office, sauf que c'est paradoxalement très chouette, très romantique et qu'on se retrouve prisonnier de l'histoire jusqu'au bout. Alors au diable les scrupules, tant pis si c'est débile, ce débordement de guimauve est quand même bien pensé et ça fait un bien fou au moral.

Tout en exagération.
J'avais vraiment hâte de voir cette série mais j'ai abandonné avant la fin du premier épisode tellement c'est sur-joué, exagéré, ça hurle tout le temps et le personnage principal de Toh est insupportable.Mais après avoir vu quelques critiques disant que ça se calme après quelques épisodes, j'ai décidé de prendre sur moi et de laisser une chance à cette série.
Verdict... C'est vrai, l'exagération générale est moindre et devient supportable.
Je revois donc ma note à la hausse car il y a de très bon moment, des Séquences intenses ou très bien mises en scène.
Malgré ça, cette série m'a profondément irritée jusqu'à la fin.
J'ai détesté le couple principal qui reste une énième version du mec hyper populaire qui aime (on se demande bien pourquoi) le débile attardé qui le suit partout.
Et vraiment, ici c'est poussé, j'ai eu l'impression de voir un gamin de 10ans dans le corps d'un adulte, qui ne comprend rien à rien, mais est "prêt" à jouer les amoureux sans comprendre ce que c'est. Alors impossible avec ça de trouver leur histoire mignonne.
Par contre, l'histoire du couple secondaire est incroyable. À première vue on pourrait croire que Khaojao est aussi le stéréotype du mec idiot mais on apprend vite qu'il cache un profond malaise, et la série va le faire évoluer très progressivement et de manière logique.
Sky étant très patient et persévérant, ça rend leur couple touchant à de nombreuses reprises.
Finalement, ce couple m'a permis d'apprécier la série, mais c'est peu face à tout ce qui ne va pas sur le reste de la série.

Cuando decidí verla tenía un bloqueo muy grande y quise ver algo que no me tomará con seriedad, entonces decidí verla por sus malos comentarios en internet. En realidad creí que la dejaría al primer episodio pero no fue así, me reí demasiado y esa sensación de cringe fue muy agradable, algo así como la que se siente al ver una parodia. Eso sí, su trama no es políticamente correcta y aconsejo no normalizarla.
