Super Cute
I really liked this show, I thought I wouldn't like it much but it was very cute and wholesome a lot of the times. Ofc it had its dark moments but at the end everyone got their happy ending and everything was good. I really liked every character and the couples, I love all the chemistry that was shown. I think for a show that was aired in 2023 it's not bad, I've seen worse made in 2024 or 2025. Ofc it has its flaws but they're honestly so easy to just ignore and still enjoy. I really like how realistic the characters are at acting like teenagers, mainly Kanghan, he was so back and forth with his decisions and sometimes they made no sense but that's literally how teens act mostly in very difficult situations that are hard to understand or process. I do wish we had seen more of certain actors like Guy and Nawa, I know we got some scenes with them but not until the end did they lowkey just confess and start dating, but I liked their enemies to lovers relationship. Another one is Saifah and Name, I can't tell if in the show they were trying to perceive them as possible lovers or just really good friends but regardless their relationship/friendship was really cute and I wish I had seen more. And lastly its Max and Auto, Pimfah and Napdao, I feel like these are also pretty confusing as to if they're were trying to perceive them as a couple or just really good friends, I think maybe Pimfah and Napdao were eventually gonna become more than friends but I'm not too sure about Max and Auto, I think they were just good friends but I repeat myself from another review I had made, I would love to see chubby characters main in a BL show or at least have a BL relationship even as a side character I feel like that would be so cute, they're always seen as the funny characters or being bullied etc. But we stay dreaming. Anyway, it was a nice show! I really enjoyed it and I recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
Better than I thought it would turn out to be!
The plot was pretty much predictable and has the typical bully/badboy falls for the poor protagonist trope. But the difference is that the protagonist is not some weakling who takes whatever the bully throws at him, he is a men with dignity and self respect. That's what I love about the main character. Sailom is a strong character, not shy has his priorities straight. I felt sick of weakass MCs all the time in "morden romance" dramas so this is a breath of fresh air.I've seen so many ppl saying that the main leads had no chemistry but in my opinion chemistry isn't always needed. They both did good in acting, that's all that matters. They portrayed the romantic scenes very smoothly and of a domestic couple.
Anyway the second couple was very cute too, pretty cliche but I'd devour this type of cliche hate to love relationship tropes. I'm glad all the characters got there happy endings.
Overall, I'd say that a second season is not needed but do i want one? Yes, Yes I do. So we can see our Saifan (MCs brother) & Name get to meet again and our cute GL couple to grow romantically.

Nothing happens?
I watched this solely because I saw a reddit post where someone asked for the Drama with the least chemistry between main leads in Thai BL and like 60% of the answers mentioned this one.I don’t personally think the chemistry between the actors is the biggest issue. It’s the story that doesn’t really pick up anywhere. Honestly I don’t feel like anything happens, and even when something happened at some point I was not engaged enough to care.
I only finished this cause I was doing something else during so it didn’t really matter that nothing happened.
That’s probably why their relationship feels off, cause it never really gets built at all in the first place.
Side couples were ok, at least I was sort of engaged with them lol.
4.5 stars because Perth was precious and given the strange role/plot he did a good job. Personally not a fan of the other actor in this one, but honestly he didn’t get much of a chance to show his skill either…

Dangerous???
I watched this a while ago…but I am just wondering how was it a dangerous romance??! There was nothing actually dangerous about it and it was technically not forbidden or anything so i’m confused on that part. Other than that, it was decent. I like the ship but Chimon looked uncomfortable in certain parts of it. Idk if it was intentional or just how he actually felt when it was being filmed. The plot was ok, but it could’ve been more. I would like to see this ship in a better drama since this was their first one so it’s too soon to make any real criticism. For Perth, I think this role suited him so I would like to see him in more “bad boy” roles. The side couple was also cute especially since I like the enemies to lovers trope (at times).Hopefully the next PerthChimon series is better than this one. It was just lacking in some areas and didn’t get interesting until the middle/end. I did enjoy it at times but it just wasn’t living up to my expectations or to the hype.

Lots of romance, with no danger
When I added this series to my list, I thought it sounded interesting. I also really liked Perth and Chimon in "Never Let Me Go," so I was excited to see a series with them as the main leads.My main problem with this was the expectation I had. This wasn’t dangerous at all, in fact there's no real danger whatsoever. The show does depict some realistic instances of school bullying, which I suppose could be considered the "danger" mentioned in the title, but other than that, there’s no actual peril for these characters. Even the debt collectors in the story are portrayed quite gently. So, in a way, I think this series was trying to be something it was not.
The pacing was also slow, much slower than what I would even classify as slow burn.
In the end, I ended up losing interest after the characters got together, as it felt like the story didn’t develop much afterward. Kanghan makes a mistake, Sailom gets upset, and then they make up – it felt like a repetitive cycle.
In contrast, the secondary couple, Nawa and Guy, were very entertaining. I found myself scrambling to be invested so I could stay for their storyline. Because of that, I was very pleased with their happy ending.
Overall, I was somewhat disappointed with this series. But should you watch it? Sure! It’s slow but cute in some ways and can be easy to enjoy if you don’t scrutinise the details too closely. If that’s your style, go for it!

Background story is great
I think it's something I would binge watch often whenever I am bored because it's an easy to watch series. The main leads did have chemistry. I don't know why everyone says they don't. I think it's the kiss scenes that were awkward but other than that it was great. They also highlighted b*llying in school and how things are handled if the offender is in power. I especially liked the way they showed how the teacher was wrong and turned a blind eye. It's quite typical in those aspects except the background of Kanghan. While in such serieses with a rich father the dad's usually very strict ir doesn't care about the child and sets high expectations from them. But this one is different. Here Kanghan acted the way he did was because his father never set any expectations from him and he felt neglected. That sounds like something everyone would want but as someone who has gone through the same I could relate alot. I think this is the best thing of the plot. Also I liked the intensity of the story. I think it's worth watching.Was this review helpful to you?

Completely hooked the first few episodes
This show was SO good the first like 4-5 episodes. It seemed like it had a plan and then somewhere along the way they lost it lol I love these actors but I couldn’t tell if Chimon’s character was supposed to be that awkward or he was just actually that awkward. For someone who confessed his feelings first, you’d think he wouldn’t be so stand offish and make perth prove himself to his friends. Even after all that is done he’s still “get away from me, why you touching me even though I told you I like you” . Perth was good, able to switch from bully, to in denial to in love pretty well. But I was really confused when he started aggressively pursuing the girl (I forget her name) after him and chimon already had so many “moments”. It felt like it was vague whether or not perth wanted to be more than friends with her in the beginning of the show and then randomly in the middle of the show his world ended when he got friend zoned. I didn’t realize he wanted her that bad. I also did not at all find it believable that she liked chimon’s character so much that she was crouched down balling her eyes out because he rejected her. Like have they even exchanged more than a couple sentences? GMMTV shows usually are one different show the first half and then a completely different show the second half. I feel it was the same with never let me go but it was executed a bit better maybe because pond Phuwin’s chemistry is there. Perth is really good but idk if chimon is really feeling the bl industry. He was honestly better in his smaller role being phuwin’s love interest for a minute in never let me go. That was more believable to me.Was this review helpful to you?
Good Series
Their acting is top notch. They really get you emersed in the story. Its one of my favourite thai series of all time, and one of a only a few series that really get you feeling strong emotions. also the plot is SO GOOD. The producers and writers did a Fantastic job! I lost so much sleep while waiting for the next episode to come out, lol. Kudos to them.Was this review helpful to you?
It's a good watch if u skip ep 8 to 10. Gave BOF (Jun Pyo x Jandi) vibes but BL ver.
The drama is actually good. Like I'm not kidding it's good till ep 7 then it kinda gets boring cz there's no plot progress and then its good after ep 10. They should have just had this as a 10 episode drama and people would have loved it.PerthChimon pairing is not bad although i like PerthSanta more. Them being in school did bother me a bit cz they were underage and doing all those things I'd have preferred if this was a university setting but then they wouldn't be able to bring the forced into havinga tutor troupe there so makes sense.
Surprisingly i liked MarcPawin pairing lot more than MarcPoon. Their story was interesting and cute too. I liked them more than the main couple.
I am a little sad about NameFah's ending cz i was really shipping them from episode 1 mafia x doctor kyaaaa that'd be soo good. I thought they were in love with each other secretly😭 but it was just bromance. I'm gonna delulu myself that they become lovers after Name gets out of jail.
If they removed the boring episodes completely and gave NameFah a better ending this drama would probably get a 10 from me.

Heart in the Wind
Regardless of any enjoyment I got out of watching the show, I had to have a friend tell me when Kang stopped being such an absolute douche and then skip to that point, because I couldn't stand him in the beginning, so it immediately loses points there.Some people are upset the romance itself wasn't 'dangerous.' But I will remind you that the native title is "Heart in the Wind." The English title played you. Don't blame the show's plot for that.
-
Likes:
- Perth acts his butt off here, and I really enjoyed him. Scenes where Kang got upset, where he got teary eyed or straight up cried, were always lovely. Kang's story is of a boy who desperately wants *someone* to believe in him, someone to want him for more than his money, someone to tell him he's capable of more. And that's tragic and sweet. (I still absolutely abhor him in eps 1-2)
- I thought Chimon did rather well too, except for crying scenes. I've heard people have issues with his kissing scenes, but the only one I thought was too tense was the first one, and it was tense for a Reason, so? Yeah, his kissing didn't bother me overmuch.
- I liked that we had a legitimate Love Triangle for all of 20 minutes, until two sides realized they're actually bi and moved to other pursuits. (It is still weird to date your ex-teacher, even if you're lesbians, though. I can't...I can't quite get over that.)
- Saifah and Sailom's relationship.
- Max and Auto becoming Best Friends Forever. I loved every minute of it. (and if they end up dating, I'm okay with that too.)
- The development of Guy and Nava's relationship. (Tho RIP them after that bar scene. They would both be dead, or at least in the hospital.)
- The study montages. I loved them.
- Kang taking care of a sick Sailom and finishing the assignment for him. Kang with little kids was amazing (I saw him with the kids in Korat and said 'one day, he's going to teach little kids soccer' and then WHAT DOES HE DO in the final episode? <3)
I find it hilarious that I trusted Papang implicitly when he walked on camera in Not Me, dressed like a mechanic and actively plotting crime and anti-government movements, but Papang as a nursing assistant, dressed in soft colors and smiling a lot? Hm, something feels fishy here. XD
-
Issues:
- the show REALLY likes its flashbacks. There are so many sad or romantic montages of previous scenes. Every episode has at least one.
- they tried to make things So Dramatic, cutting to every single person before something happened, sometimes twice, that I was clicked ahead 5 seconds at a time just going 'Okay, I GET IT already, geez.'
- I've seen promises that go belly up before, but Kang doing a 180 less than 60 seconds after making that promise? That wins some kind of Shitty Behavior award, right? And then he's continuously shitty to Sailom for a full episode, multiple days their time, until suddenly he says 'I've always been here' like he never left Sailom's side because he was following him around on his motorcycle? Bro. Bro, what are you *talking about*? You kicked him out of your house. You yelled at him and told him you would never help him again. You responded to his goodbye thanks by basically telling him he didn't belong anymore. That is the shittiest 'I never left you' I have ever seen, dude.
- Guy struggles learning to walk again. Then Nava punches him and calls him on being sad, they cry about it, and literally like 24 hours later, Guy is sans-crutches or brace and is walking just fine?
- Someone doesn't understand how roofies work.
It's not really an issue, but hot damn, someone got majorly hurt in every single soccer match. Sports have never been so dangerous.

I think it's bromance?
I watched this series back when I had no boundaries—I used to feel like I had to finish everything I started, no matter how bad it was. So here I am, having watched the entire series and finally able to give my review.One thing I noticed is that GMMTV has a pattern: the pilot is always so good, it really hooks you in. Episodes 1–4 are usually solid, then the rest just kind of... exist. It feels like they're just trying to finish the project, and unfortunately, this series falls into that pattern too.
What's disappointing is that the main leads aren't newbies. They're both experienced, especially in the BL industry, but somehow, when they're paired together, the chemistry just isn't there. I'm not saying they're bad actors—it's just that their chemistry feels more like best friends than romantic partners.
Like I said, from episode 5 onward, it feels like the series is just going through the motions. It's still watchable, just... not that good.
