Fourever You

Forever confused by how much I liked this.

Ever since the release of this series, I've seen so many videos of Johan-North and Hill-Easter. With Part 2 about to be completed, I finally decided to check it out for myself. Surprisingly, I fell in love with it – even if, in some ways, I was also disappointed.

Plot-wise, the story is quite straightforward. It revolves around two couples who meet in university, showing their journey as they fall in love, discover themselves and resolve unfinished businesses. The romance is at the centre of the story, executed in various ways that left me feeling both in pieces and very underwhelmed, with just enough drama woven in to keep things interesting.

Regarding the characters, I have some thoughts. I've seen Earth deliver impressive performances in roles from Love by Chance, Until We Meet Again, and My Only 12%, so I was excited to see him again. However, his performance and Pond’s fell a little bit flat. I so confused as to why their characters came off so one-dimensional – between Ter and Hill, I struggled to identify which one had less personality.

By the end, I wished I could have liked Hill and Ter a bit more since they are the first couple and central to the overall story. Unfortunately, that just didn't happen for me. I know that Earth and Pond are talented actors, so I truly blame the script – it really didn't do them any favours this time.

On the other hand, Johan and North are, to me, the reason this series has received such high ratings. Their storyline is genuinely enjoyable. While their love story might be cliché and entirely predictable, it was a joy to watch them come together. Bas and Maxky delivered strong performances, with North being the kind of friend we all wish to have in our lives, and Johan representing the incredibly unrealistic fantasy boyfriend we dream of finding – honestly, I was so done with this man while being simultaneously in love with him, that it drove a bit mad.

Lastly, another highlight for me was the various friendships depicted in the series between the chaotic juniors and the charismatic seniors. Both groups had their own dynamics, but both were rooted in loyalty and strong bonds. It was heartwarming to see.

Overall, despite some issues, I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to watching Part 2!

"Fourever You” is a simple rom-com series that tells the story of four couples, their college life, troubles, and their love connection. Though the start of the series was well-developed and captivating, its hold over the story diminished after the 7th episode, becoming too repetitive and monotonous. Pond Ponlawit and Earth Katsamonnat did very well in making the character winsome but due to unnecessary dragging, it became quite irritating and confusing at the end. The story tends to feel a bit tedious, with one couple entangled in numerous misunderstandings from their past, which was tiring to watch. It’s all very predictable and lacks freshness, making it hard to stay invested. The dependency on these familiar clichés adds to the overall sense of monotony, leaving viewers wanting more originality. Now, to watch cliché factors like having an ex-girlfriend or knowing each other’s feelings but ignoring them while not exactly being avoidant was very frustrating to watch. About Johan (Maxky Ratchata) & North (Bas Hatsanat), their love story was sweet, and funny, taking its time to grow and evolve. Above all, it was real, grounded in genuine moments that made them laugh, cry, and appreciate each other deeply. In its simplicity, it held a beauty that was uniquely theirs.

If there’s one thing that defines Fourever You, it’s emotional chaos… but the kind that keeps you hooked .

The story follows Easter, who moves to a university in northern Thailand to escape the memories of a past relationship. Of course, fate has other plans, and he ends up reuniting with Hill, his ex. This sets up a relationship full of confusion, unresolved feelings, and twists that, honestly, feel a bit messy at times.

I have to be honest here: the main couple didn’t really work for me. Ter’s childish behavior was something I just couldn’t stand. That kind of immaturity in a university setting feels out of place . Hill, on the other hand… wow he has such an intense, captivating gaze. But their storyline is all over the place, first it’s uncertainty, then misunderstandings, then hints about past feelings… it just feels unnecessarily complicated.

Now, the real highlight of the show is Johan and North.
They completely stole the spotlight for me . Their dynamic is fun, engaging, and full of chemistry. The whole “accidental debtor meets a flirty, spoiled creditor” trope works so well here. It’s entertaining, charming, and honestly the reason I kept watching.

The group dynamic is also a strong point. The friends from the art club and the medical students bring warmth and humor to the story, balancing out the romantic drama nicely. Those moments of friendship feel genuine and add a lot to the overall vibe.

In the end, Fourever You isn’t perfect. Some storylines work better than others, but it still has something special. And thanks to couples like Johan and North, it becomes a memorable watch.

Johan/North for the ?with ?

I am a huge fan of productions from studio Wabi Sabi because they do their best to do justice to the novel and follow it which is amazing however I do think they could work on executing this a bit better. Comparing with another series where there are many couples gmmtv seemed to execute that better with perfect 10 liners, both this show and P10 has the same director however the way that he focused on stories for the couples were different. In P10 he was able to focus on each couple while also giving a good balance to other characters and couples in the show. Nonetheless, I found this show enjoyable to watch. I struggled with Ter and Hill but equally their story was a bit boring novel wise . Thier acting didn’t help either as I found they lacked chemistry and the intensity that I have seen them portray in other roles Pond for example in that 180 longitude drama or Earth in UWMA.

They were outshined by Bas and Maxky who did a great job with Johan and North. Suer, Nao and Thit also added the spice and humour to this series.

The music was meh 🫤 for me but take that with a pinch of salt as I am not really into Thai music and prefer C music more.

rewatch value- I would not watch the show again. I would watch a compilation of Johan/North scenes as I found a lot of the scenes with Ter cringe 😬

I look forward to seeing Maxky in more roles as this was my first one of his.

Cute comedy

I keep coming back to this series to watch th cute moments over and over again, so consider that a big recommendation if nothing else.

So here’s the deal: we have four hot medical students that I have taken to calling the Avengers, as follows:

- Asian Elvis, he of the Very Good Hair
- the Aura Master, able to stun anyone with the sheer force of his presence and money
- Doctor Dangerous, seemingly nice but will 100% wreck your shit if you cross him
- the Tattooed Henchman, a classic bad boy.

And on the other side of this equation are the Super Friends, a group of new students who are best buds and also each other’s wingmen, and who also get into hijinks and, indeed, shenanigans on a regular basis due to their various love interests. And they are:

- the Drama Llama, a grown man seemingly inhabited by the soul of a hyperactive teenage girl
- Mr. Game’n’Slack, a certifiable idiot who does vidya games and little else
- the Short King, who has waaaaay too many issues and not enough access to therapy
- the Quiet Artist, who we don’t see much of in this season but hoooo boy does he ever have Stuff Going On.

Listen: we all know they’re gonna get together, we’re here for the journey and not the destination. But I found the journey to be HELLA worth it in every case. First up, we have Asian Elvis finding out that the Drama Llama, his sort-of-ex who he is still HUGELY into, also goes to this university and from then on we are treated to some high quality yearning and some verrrrry nice chemistry.

Second up is the Aura Master bumping into Mr. Game’n’Slack, who he has a longtime unrequited crush on, and his total inability to pursue a normal relationship with the guy. Somehow they’re into each other (although I’m not sure why, chemistry is a bit lacking IMO) but I’m here for the comedy alone. Their relationship is largely defined by the Aura Master admitting to himself that he did indeed fall in love with a complete idiot, but that is no reason not to be the bestest boyfriend ever and spoil him and love on him etc etc.

The other two relationships are in the later seasons, Beside the Sky, and The Sun From Another Star. Can’t decide which I like more. It’s cute stupid romantic comedy and all the relationships, whether it’s friendships or romance, are 100% worth a watch. This is probably staying on my rewatch list forever (fourever lol).

boringgggggg

i started watching because of johan and north but ter really made impossible to watch first of all
whats with the facial expressions i was getting second hand embarrassment every single time.
Ter was very childish, very hard to watch ,became super boring i though of continuing watching this drama because i hate when I don't finish something but at this point it's way to long and i am just wasting my time anyways the casting for the first couple is lowkey shit and it's boring, again the facial expressions in few of the charactersin this drama were very questionable

A cute heartwarming series

I have to start by saying when I first watched this it gave me vibes of 'We are' . But I would still choose 'We are' over this....This was a nice average story and a cute fluffy bl. The actors did a good job and the storyline was nice. A little bit of comedy although felt a bit cringe ,was okay. I loved the romantic scenes and how they were portrayed. All in all there's not much to say about this series cos it was a good bl eventhough its not one of the best...

I do hope that some new actors in the series could have done better. but still the main cps kept it going..So i think you should atleast watch this once!

Complaints on HillTer's plot

Personally, I tried to catch up after the first 8 episodes were released, so I didn’t notice any boring parts or issues because I chose to watch it primarily because of Earth and Bas. I don’t mind Earth’s acting, as I know it’s common in Thai BL series, and overall, his performance really surpasses that of most actors in the industry. I came to the series because of him and ended up enjoying Pond and Maxky as well (especially Pond, haha). I've noticed that he’s really hyper in real life, which has made me more interested in him—just a little TMI, though! 🤣

However, I didn’t have any complaints about the series (HillTer) until I read the novel. Yes, Ter is a bit childish, chaotic, and has inner conflicts, but, at least both of them understand their past clearly. They fell in love during their high school years, and while Hill's family caught onto their relationship, Ter didn’t know the full story and thought Hill had dumped him. I haven’t finished the book, but I’ve read up to the part where Hill asks Ter if he can court him again. In the novel, Ter’s only issues are heartbreak and trust issues stemming from the belief that he was dumped. When Hill makes that request, Ter only thinks about wanting to revisit their past—that’s all.

Moreover, in the novel, we also get Hill's point of view, which enhances the story. In contrast to the series, Hill lacks 100% confidence and hesitates to pursue Ter again. What I love most about Hill is that he is a bit foxy; in the series, he is portrayed as too reserved. If I hadn’t read the novel, I would still enjoy the series version of Hill, but now I feel quite frustrated. Had they kept Hill's character more aligned with the book, I believe Pond Ponlawit could have showcased his acting skills better, and many fans wouldn’t have felt bored. I genuinely feel sorry for Pond and Earth. Although this series is set in a university, which is a common backdrop for the BL series, the characters are still different. The actors really need to excel, especially in emotional scenes, and I believe Pond and Earth would be perfect for that. Unfortunately, they haven’t had the chance to display their strengths.

I completely agree with you that the production team should read the reviews on MDL, especially the scriptwriters. I hope they don’t ruin the remaining three books! 🥲 I’m a fan of slow-burn genres, so I’m really looking forward to the South couple.

By the way, I think the cinematography in HillTer’s episodes is really great. Kudos to that! If they hadn’t changed the plot, the series would have been much more enjoyable to watch.

I wish I could see Pond and Earth in a new series that fully showcases their acting and chemistry, especially in a dramatic storyline. I’d love to see Earth beautifully crying with his pretty face. 😭🤣 It would be great if the series didn’t revolve around university life—maybe something set in an office or any other setting where Earth can showcase his fashion sense. I believe that series would stand out!

Also, I love the friendship scenes. It’s not just the doctor gang; I also enjoy the chaotic relationships in the art and engineering groups. I really appreciate the friendships that feel authentic.

They’re not all from the same company, and most of them met for the first time while shooting this series, yet they act like best friends, being noisy and chaotic whenever all ten of them gather. I really hope that Studio Wabi Sabi considers promoting all the actors through some variety shows or blogs. I get so excited just thinking about it! I want episodes of variety shows featuring these ten actors. Their lively and chaotic interactions would definitely keep viewers entertained without any dull moments, similar to the live session the doctor gang did to promote Maxky’s lipstick 🤣

Without thinking about anything else and just enjoying the series that can relax me, I will choose to rewatch. Apart from being frustrated with HillTer's plot, I really enjoy the series overall. Pond's acting is sometimes gone out of mood or stiff, and some actors' over-facial expressions, except those, I can tolerate and I will rewatch at least one time before part two start 🤣
