not even a few mins in & i already clocked my favorite couple (like i am here cause of First & Khao, who were fun together, even though they mostly bickered in this ep, lol) but Boston & Nick's acting and chemistry are out of this world - they sizzling & i can't wait to see more of them & how their plot develops. **************************************************************************on the other hand i don't like Top, he is looking & treating Mew like a piece of meat, a diversion, a new 'dish' to try out. i get that this not unheard off, but if anyone tells me "...i want something new..." cause he is tired of the usually guys that r too experienced in bed. ******************************************************************************************************************i wouldn't say - yeah fine i will set u up with my friend, a good friend doesn't push do that. Boston did Mew wrong. say u will talk to him, inform Mew about Top & let him decide. but the more i watch this, even though my initial thought was that they a tight knit group of friends, they not really. looks like they just acquaintances that met at the start of Uni & connected - enjoy hanging out together & that's about it. cause they not there for each other when it counts, they for sure give sh*t advise when they bother to give it. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** also if Ray &/or Boston r interested in Mew/Top why they leaving him open?!? so Top will have an in? instead of getting blind drunk, Ray should've stuck to Mew, but dude rather get blind drunk. & Boston rather hook-up then inform Mew that Top's a player?!? so he wont stand a chance. even though Top made is very clear, that Boston didn't stand a chance with him, as all they ever will be to each other, is a one nightstand. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* & the whole scene between Top & mew was an utter turn-off. am glad Mew finally realized he was jumping the gun with a stranger. sorry, but if u r in ur 20's & ur still a V, u don't just give it away. yeah u can be pressured into it. which is sad, as if u r still one, it's cause it is an important part that u wanna share with someone important, not just to lose it in a quicky or a one night stand. & from what i have seen they not my cup of tea as i couldn't stomach Mew's attitude afterwards & i had to fast-forward almost every scene that involved only this paring. hard pass **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** btw loved seeing sassy Drake, pity there wont be more of him!!!

Very mature (positively)

Woah I did not expect such a mature talk during a make out scene and in the first episode especially! I really love how he’s honest with himself and doesn’t "fight“ his sensitive side or put on a facade or something! Genuinely didn’t expect such a mature character from GmmTv, but it’s an amazing surprise.the way they even asked for consent for cuddling? Damn, I love it!

Solid

Absolutely breathtaking. Mew and Top have fantastic chemistry. Neo is projecting a different shade. I loved every single frame.

I CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT!!!

OMG! It was just the first episode yet it already exceeded my expectations! Well, I know there's a lot of hot scenes for just the first episode but beside that, you can already get a hint of what's coming next! Hoping for a continuous nice story development!

Nice characters but not much story development

I have been looking forward to this series because it brings together many interesting actors that I have liked in other series. It was an ok first episode mainly introducing the characters with a lot of spicy scenes thrown in. What was missing was more story development. I know from other series that these guys can deliver as actors and are not just pretty faces. I hope the screen writers and director can deliver more of a story in the remaining episodes!

That POOR BOY t-shirt

Lesson in life: do not drown in alcohol just cause you can't confess to your best friend.Lesson 2 in life: do not hook the person you're in love with with your friend. And if you do, stop being jealous.Lesson 3 in life: if you keep holding on to your virginity, ultimately a rich hot guy will start pursuing you 😑

This is so weird because I always considered Drake a "Baby" since blacklist and 'cause you're my boyI screamed so loudly hopefully I live alone ^^I loved that episode so much that I rewatched it a dozen time waiting for episode 2Everything was good in this episode. From the the photography to the choice of the lightning and colours It feels like every details has been thought about at first hand

Messy

The episode was very entertaining for the most part, but I felt as though it lacked something. And that something was the factor to pull me to watch the next episode. I also don’t get how the friend group are friends, they have no chemistry.

Amazing

The only thing bothering me is how cringy (for me) is Top, I can't take him seriously, I'm sorry.

Queer as Folk-Vibes

This was a great first episode! It gave a good and clear introduction to the important characters, which teased their upcoming drama and makes you want to see more. There were few scenes like the one where the group leaves the bar and the beginning of the kitchen scene with Top and Mew which reminded me of Queer as Folk. A great indicator for where the story might go for everyone who is still wondering about that lmaoI am so happy to see Neo in a completely new character, and damn is he doing a great job. I cannot wait to see where this thing between Nick and Boston is going.Overall, this episode was perfect for me because it had great plot & timing, the actors did an awesome job at portraying their characters and conveying emotions just through their eyes (Khao and Neo). Also the colours of this series are dark and bright at the same time and the soundtrack is a blast! Each song feels like as if it was chosen for particular scenes, which gives the entire thing a richer taste.I'm so excited for the second episode!

Liked how they showed each characters Personality

I really loved the first episode. In my opinion it was perfect. I liked how they in the first scène showed how everyone is: For example mew who is "the tableholder". And during the episode you really got to know every characters personality. As a firstkhao enthusiast i especially loved their scènes cant wait for the next episode!!

Saturday dinner time series!!!! It's delicious with a lot of spices!

This long awaited series finally came and it went above my expectations. I have to give this first episode a 10/10 because I paused and replay multiple times, Whenever this happens, it can only be for two reasons.Either the Sub titles were too fast or the Scene was too good and had to rewind. This time it was the later, the scenes were so good I had to rewind multiple times. Each character have their own stories to follow but they intertwine with each other. This episode every actor on screen did amazing. I loved Mew/Top scenes a lot as I feel they will create a great love story with happy endings. Sand/Ray scenes are also good but they haven't gone in a closeness to call themselves friends yet. But Ray has started to show interest in Sand. What can I say about Boston lol. He is the MVP of this episode, He entered us and we had no idea what was coming. So far he is the only one having alot of fun, but he probably will realize he need to settle with someone and Nick has already fulfilled his fantasy for Boston, he has one year warranty on his phone, he can swing by the phone repair shop anytime it needs fixing and Boston is so happy for the goodwill gesture lol. Just watch it and enjoy the ride! I mean the series. :)

It's everything I was hoping for

I've been waiting for this drama for months, and now that this first episode is finally out, all I can say is: I want to rewatch it already! The mood, acting, lighting - literally everything was perfect. A fantastic pilot episode! I can't wait for the next episode!

Shaking dan panas!

Saya baru saja menyelesaikan episode pertama. Kesan pertama series ini adalah "mengagetkan", kenapa? karena semua pemain di series ini punya watak dan karakter yang sangat berbeda dari series lama yang mereka mainkan, misalnya di series Fish upon the sky, a boss and a babe, Chonlatte, dan Not me. Para aktor entah kenapa seperti memutar balikkan kepribadian mereka, dan menurutku ini sangat estetik dan profesional! great job!. Satu hal yang kurang menurutku dari series ini adalah dari segi latar belakang cerita yang biasa saja, cinta segitiga atau cinta berapa segi entahlah ini agak rumit ; namun walaupun begitu GMMTV dapat mengemas series ini dengan cukup bagus ya, terlihat di episode pertama yang menurutku sangat bagus dan luar biasa. Dari segi warna menurutku sangat cocok ya, warna baru dari series GMMTV ; aku berinama matte pastel colour -> sebuah perpaduan warna pastel dengan nuansa matte yang asik. Dari segi musik juga asik sih ya, mantep sesuai tema series itu sendiri. Satu hal lain yang kurang adalah series ini menurutku overshaking, terlalu punya scene guncang yang agak berlebihan, lalu beberapa scene juga terlihat seperti punya POV yang terlalu ekstrim membuat penonton menjadi mengalami vertigo semu. Selain itu adegan dewasa di film ini menurutku sangat bagus dan bijak, natural dan luar biasa mantep abis gilakkkkk lanjut episode 2.
