Only Friends

This show gave me anxiety but I loved it

Omgg this was a hot meeeess but in the absolute best way. All the characters are flawed and human and really just looking for Love and Companionship. Usually a messy show means that the plot is bad but Only Friends has to be the expectation for this. The show never lost its way. Yes it got messy and I had to watch through my fingers bcs omggg wtfff but all the characters always stayed true to themselves. Nothing gets brushed over. Emotions get felt! People get hurt, hearts broken but thats life. All the releashionships in this show get portrayed in a deeply human and flawed way. Showing that we enter releashionships and we may open ourselves up and even love someone but that dosent mean that the releashionship is perfect or that it will even last. Love takes so much more than just passion its hard work. Its commitment and always a choice made everyday anew. I hope our Only Friends Couples continue choosing each other.
The cinematography’s and music was also just chefs kiss so good. Someone needs a raise
Also i smell a season two or a special episode. Please please just something. So I can get over my bruised heart from all the pain.

this is one of my favorite gmmtv series because i like drama and the tension between people so this show was great i've rewatched it so many times that i can't even count. this is also the bl that i recommend the most to all my friends. i really like the cast they're all good actors and they are all attractive and this is the show that got me into firstkhao (im firstkhao biased) and also forcebook both of them are a great pair and have really good series, and since this is the show that got me into firstkhao my favorite couple was sandray there is no doubt that they had the best romance story and chemistry. i remember when i first watched this in 2023 (the year it came out) finding both sand (first) and mew (book) really good looking. what i really like as well is the ost, khao is a really amazing artist and he made the ost/intro songs for two other firstkhao series which are really good but my favorite will always be lets try (the ost/intro song) it always is my go to thai ost song. i find everything in this series amazing, the intro, the cast, the acting, the chemistry, the drama and the friendships but this series as messy as it is it shows important topics for example addiction if you've watched the series you would know that ray is a drug addict and alcoholic which almost ends his life and also affects mew when they start dating because mew starts to become a drug addict as well. luckily ray and mew aren't addicted anymore but it was the help of their partners sand and top. another theme they cover is friendship some fall and some rise like boston with mew, ray, and cheum and friendships rising like sand and nick (they were already friends but their bond got closer when they moved in together). overall this is a really good series that i recommend and will rewatch many more times again!

It was so worth it to wait every week

What a ride!! Only friends, a group of friends with a lot of backstabbing, cant stay loyal, a lot of kissing and NC- scenes (mostly from Boston).

It was a very well written serie with a bunch of great actors. Everyone acted sooo good. My favorites were sandray and bostonnick. Almost everyone was a red flag and I loved it! Everyone kissed everyone and there were couples you wont usually ship.

It was the best serie this year (imo). Im gonna miss this. I hope we get a season 2!! I hope Boston comes back from New York and there is Mix who seems interested in Book's character. This is interesting!! Cant wait!!

Damn that was Good!

Only Friends is a show with little to no flaws. It is modern so if you are not a fan of mature scenes or topics I can say to skip this one. It's a fun story that keeps you on the edge of your seat on what will happen next. The soundtrack was great, and the setting and direction were great. The actors did an amazing bringing their characters to life everyone has chemistry. From episode 1 to the Final I never got bored they always gave us something to make us excited in every episode, It was a happy ending yall and yeah kind of the Euphoria of Thailand but not as intense. A story you don't see often written about how some young people live and I love that.

Real Life Experience in a Show

Except for certain scenes and the ending: This was a series with the perfect depiction of real life and relationships. It showed raw emotion and how messy those early twenties can be. You think you are grown-up and know who you are. Its a show with no good-guy and no villain, just regular messy human-beings.

I was a little disappointed in how the series was tied up at the end, and it felt a little like a cop out. However, I understand why they chose to do as they did. We could have had the same ending, but written better.

I love the characters, the cinematography, the sets, the feelings and the plot. All in all this is one of the best BL shows I have ever watched. And I have already rewtched it in parts and will definitivly do a full rewatch later on.

I love my GMMTV boys. Messy perfection.

My advice to new BL watchers, OR new to GMMTV BL's, don't start with this one. I think what made this show so amazing, was being in love with all these characters/couples already and watching them in a whole new light.

This was everything. The couples were amazing, the situations were messy, realistic. My heart hurt, my heart healed, my anxiety went through the roof!

My favorite couples are Mew & Top, I really felt and loved both of them. My second runner up was Ray & Sand, their story was very interesting, touching, and deep. Also Nick, I felt so much for Nick. I want to see Mark(Nick) get a happy series as a lead role.

I also want to see Mond (Boeing) as a lead in a BL. He was so naughty in this one! And honestly I loved it. I am glad they didn't drag out those issues for to long.

Overall, I can't say one bad thing about this show. It was messy perfection.

Could have been more, but still a trailblazer!

Going into Only Friends, I knew the plot and vibe weren't my cup of tea and that I was there for the cast and for the sexy scenes. I greatly appreciated the performances from every single cast member, but a true stand out for me were Mark Pakin and First. I haven't seen Mark in a role that let him shine like this before. He did a phenomenal job!!! He was the perfect Nick, and his eyes were always acting overtime. What an incredible performance! He and Neo portrayed some of the most risky and vulnerable scenes, acting in very explicit scenes as actors with such huge visibility, and they KILLED IT! I'm incredibly proud of them and loved their performances. First was also phenomenal as always. Similarly to Mark, his eyes just do so much of his acting... he was a joy to watch through and through. Book was also a stand out and I loved him as Mew. Mew was probably one of the best characters!
As far as the STORY goes: I had quite a few issues with some of the plot decisions, especially in the latter half of the show. I felt that Ray was let off the hook way too easily too many times. But I loved TopMew's story and genuinely enjoyed all their scenes. I was also pleased with the way Boston and Nick's story ended. I hope Nick enjoys a happy and sexy relationship with Daddy Dan! I think the show tried to do too many things and suffered from the breakneck pace at which they had to film and edit. If they had had a bigger bidget, 1-2 more eps, and taken more time to perfect the show, things would have been better. It's disappointing that GMMTV is so cheap when it comes to a trailblazing show like this. All the sexual intimacy was done so well and that's so important. The production deserved better.
And of course.,..what a perfect final scene! Mix!!!!!! Everyone's beloved!!!!

catches you from the start till the end

first of all, can't put in words how much I loved this cast. Every actor tried their best to get in character, you don't only look at them, you feel every single personality and this is insane

if you searching for healthy relationships this is not your pick thus time, everithing always goes wrong somehow, you will hate some of them that's inevitable, but if you ready go for it. This serie will not disappoint you!!

I hope to see more lesbians couples and trans people in stories like this <3

I feel like something big just came to the end, feeling certain void inside my chest right now, it was awesome to follow this series every week :D

Sorry but not sorry!!!... It's my totally Biased rating

Well, being honest... Does this series deserve a 9.5 ? No ... Did I enjoy it? Hell yeah.... Why am I rating this 9.5? Because this series got me hooked and invested in every single episode soo much, that none other series has done yet.

The charm of this series lies mostly of this series being able to create different human perspective and opinion. It was so fun and intresting to analyse the stories and characters after every episode and talk about it with our peers. This made the series even more entertaining that one would not feel of binge-watched.

At first my impression of the series after the trailer was that its just going to be another hot BL series with lot of explicit content(that most of the series are doing just for the sake of popularity). But right after the first few episode, i was proven wrong. I was so invested in the story that the hot NC scenes didn't matter anymore. What mattered was the story, the characters , the trauma the flaws and the judgement. There were definitely some parts of the story which i believe could have been manipulated, but I am not complaining for what it is now as well.

The casting director did a amazing on by casting ForceBook, FirstKhao, NeoMark and Lookjun. I cannot say more to them for their exceptional acting. They gave their best to their roles. We as viewers got to love, hate, resonate and emotionally get invested in all the characters. That means the actors did a really good job.

FirstKhao: What more should I even say
ForceBook: We really need more of ForceBook projects in future. When you watch them, it feels like they are really serious about their work and are hardworking actors. They are kind of actors who grow more and more after every project. Personally I would like to see them in some agressive and bad boy roles.
NeoMark: who would have thought that this pairing would become one of the most incredible pairing in the history. I am just speechless. I hope they better not ignore this one.

Also nonetheless the special appearance cast Papang, Drake, Mond and Mix were so amazing too.
They delivered soo much in such a little screentime.

Gmmtv should make more series like this... !!
