BL where Joon is a total (singing :) Green Flag
PLOT: At university, Zo had a long-standing crush on Nita (a student and fellow member of the debate club), but doesn't even dare talk to her. In desperation, he asks Joke (Nita's ex) for help, in exchange for a spot in the club. But Joke's main goal is to get closer to Zo...+++ I really like Joon & Dunk. They are excellent actors, subtle, moving, authentic, and with great chemistry. However, I didn't connect with Zo's charactere; he's always reserved, always asking, never giving.
+++ Second romance with Aou & Boom (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
+++ Solid direction, with a coherent story. For once, the students have classes, exams, and assignments to hand in σ(´∀｀)
+++ Great OSTs (Joon sings a lot in this series)
### Parents' redemption too abrupt to be believable.
### Announcement to families not addressed here
=> Good BL, enjoyable, with endearing characters, but not memerable.

BL où Joon est un total Green Flag (chantant :)
PLOT: A la fac, Zo a un crush depuis longtps sur Nita (étudiante, membre comme Zo, du club de débat), mais n'ose mm pas lui parler. En désespoir de cause, il demande à Joke (ex de Nita) de l'aider, moyennant une place dans le club. Mais les objectifs de Joke sont surtt de se rapprocher de Zo ...
+++ J'aime bcp Joon & Dunk. Ce sont d'excellents acteurs, subtiles, émouvants, authentiques, et avec une belle alchimie. Cpdt, je ne me suis pas attachée à Zo, tjs sur la réserve, tjs demandeur jamais donneur.
+++ 2nde romance avec Aou & Boom (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
+++ Réalis° solide, avec story cohérente. Pr une fois, les étudiants ont des cours, des examens, des travaux à rendre σ(´∀｀)
+++ Bons OSTs (Joon chante svt ds cette série)
### Rédemption des parents trop brusque pr être crédible.
### Annonce aux familles non traitée ici
=> Bonne BL, agréable, avec des personnages attachants, mais elle ne restera pas dans les mémoires.

It started well, but then .....
Yes, the first 4 episodes did excite me, and started to wonder where the hidden agenda was. Ok, i got it. Then afterwards, it became boring and the story seems to be dragging with no excitement at all except for their cute faces. I like Joong, but didnt quite like the character Joke, who is sort of dominating and possessive in a non-aggressive way. As of Dunk, I think he could have done better. How come he was so expressive in episode 1 when doing a story telling session with an animation, but then his acting and expression became monotonous?. Not sure if i wanted to continue to the end, but oh well, I've reached episode 10 anyway/Was this review helpful to you?
Below a serve for a show in 2023, but had potential for a good show in 2021
I personally believed that the show wasn't that bad, but it could've been better. Joongs acting in my personal opinion really saved the show, and if Dunk got acting lessons the show would've been way better. The thing is Dunks acting isn't even as bad as a lot of 'unpopular' thai actors. (i put these in quotes because there are some actors who are popular but still have bad acting aka popular for their face) Plus, they could've organized the plot in a manner where we could tell the point of each detail and what it meant to the story. To me it seemed a bit all over the place, but it did have good potential. Thinking positively, the show wasn't as bad as what i've seen with your average low budget bl. It's cute for a show would be low budget.Was this review helpful to you?
Kisses and a bunch of people with hidden agendas
This drama has one good episode, a decent female something and a bunch of really well executed kisses... and well that is about it... As slightly annoying guy has a crush on an amazing girl but gets douped by a guy with a hidden agenda on their way though some misunderstandings and the feeling of trust no one as they may or may not have a hidden agenda but honestly they all just fall flat.I was almost going to give this a 7,5 for the kisses, the good episode and the girl plus lack of issues to complain about but then a whole bunch of cringe happened and dragged down the score. Conversations with parents that had me gaging and just a whole lot of oh come on.... Seriously are they going to throw in that annoying trope. And well at that point I felt a 7 was a kind score.
So what can I say the romance has its good times and again great kisses... but honestly it is just not enough to make this a good or even a watch worthy of your time. But if you do not mind the lack of plot and cringe and have some time to kill go for it or just fast forward to the kisses and the scenes with the girl.

Strangely enjoyable show
This show gave me so too many whiplashes to even count, at points it even seemed the series itself was confused what it wanted to portray and the plot was mild, but what can i say? I strangely enjoyed it so much.Many important themes were discussed and the show felt unfamiliar in the pacing, but still very comforting and feel-good. Joong and Dunk were fun to watch, as well as other familiar actors.
Was the show fantastic? No. But did i still enjoy the soul out of it? Absolutely. Would i rewatch it? Probably not.

i love joongdunk with all my heart but i feel like this wasnt it 😭 lets just say if its not joongdunk, i honestly would not (??) watch this. very questionable storyline and like i dont get where its going like whats the main point. the first few episodes about Zo liking Nita and Joke being the third person were actually so investing, i feel like starting from there they could’ve just add more about it and not about those random debate club thing that doesnt really matter 😭 and then it started becoming a story about families like 😞⁉️ also jeng/pok or aou/boom NEEDS MORE SCREENTIME. they barely even get any screentime and i love them sm. i thought i would get more on the last episode but no 😭 Was this review helpful to you?

I need justice for joongdunk
Ok I got to be honest...I tried heaven knows I did...and I'm disappointed...I think out of most gmmtv couples... joongdunk have the most beautiful chemistry... of screen but they have never impressed me in any of the series they have been in together....I want them to play a mafia vipire zombie and dark series because just seeing them being just cute and lovey dovey....that's joongdunk stuff....I need to differentiate between joongdunk and their characters.....STORYLINE:I was bored really...and I stayed in believing it will get better and at some point it did...but then they dropped me...I wish this series was just 8 episodes....let the couple be sweet then end it...but no offense...this series is too long and nothing going on....I just gave up on it....
I believe in joongdunk and I'm hoping they will surprise me in future but for this show sadly it's a no from me... AGAIN THIS IS MY OPINION YOU SHOULD WATCH IT FOR YOURSELF THEN JUDGE IT ACCORDING YO YOUR TASTE

Not so hidden agenda
The description of plot and actual plot in series doesn't have much in common since Zo pretty soon find out he idolized Nita instead of loving her.To be honest; I enjoyed this series. At first I thought it's just silly lovey dovey romcom but at the end of the series we find out its not so glittery pink because both main characters have family issues which was showed in realistic way and as person who relate to Joke, ngl some tears escaped my eyes.
I also enjoyed second couple's plot, I think it's nice to see gay character understanding that they can't stuck forever in bubble and hide, especially when you're hurting your loved one.
Some scenes was unnecessary long; small talk between characters, characters standing in front of building for few seconds. I skipped some of it.
Going to characters and actors; I LOVE GRANDMA, she's absolutely my favorite. Also I fell hard for Joong and his smile... this man is so adorable and played Joke's characters so good especially when i have comparision to Fadel from THK where the character is much different. Joong really did great job.
In Dunk case; I think people are too harsh. It wasn't Oscar worthy performance but he wasn't bad, I can list at least worse 5 actors/actresses. He had better and worse moments. For example the first kiss scene was phenomenal. You can see all of Zo's emotions, I think its one of scenes which Dunk nailed.
I think the biggest flaw of this series is music. I'm also sick of BL characters singing and playing guitar. Just STOP I'M BEGGING!!!
There were also some threads without sense but in conclusion it's cute series. Did I like it? Yes. Will I rewatch it? Probably no.

Mindless Fluff, Weakly Written
You might enjoy this if you like cute, mindless fluff and don't mind newbie acting. The main couple's "love language" seems to be bickering but their more intimate romantic moments are very sweet.The chemistry between the leads is undeniable and they are most natural when interacting with each other. However, they are still newer actors and their inexperience shows (in line delivery and reactions). Joong's acting is a 5 and Dunk's is a 3 (out of 10).
The actors aren't helped by a weak script with stiff, contrived dialogue and a boring, poorly executed plot. I'm glad for JoongDunk that they are getting some experience (it's a great way to continue improving their acting skills), but I just got too bored by the end of episode 8. After pausing for a couple of weeks I decided not to continue at all.
Both the actors AND the writers could benefit from more workshops to work on their craft before doing another project. At this point, I won't be looking forward to whatever they produce next.

Finally a 2023 Thai series that gives me butterflies :)
I have developed a complete love for this series and both men since the end of ep 2. This episode gave me so many sweet, warm fuzzies, and I am so grateful I came across this gem from Thailand! I had lost a lot of hope for Thai series this year, but this show is wonderful and I plan to shout that from the digital rooftops!!!! I just finished episode 4 and am so eager for episode 5. No, the storyline is not very original, but it is well done and I think the actors are doing a great job so far....does it help that I find both leads super gorgeous...yes, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is the first Thai show this year that I haven't had to force myself to sit distractedly through an episode and that I am 1000% rewatching! It's honey-sweet and the pacing is phenomenal thus far. The music is lovely and fits the story better than average too. I want to say this will be one of my top ten from Thailand, but there are 6 episodes to go, and I don't want to jinx it. Right now, I am loving this show and all the butterflies it started giving in ep3 and that are still there through ep 4.Was this review helpful to you?
