Loved this one!
Fun, silly and entertaining! I'm really glad I gave this one a try. It didnt take itself too seriously and I was happy to see Yoon again with, for me, was a group of new actors. Sepak Takraw (hope I got it right) was totally new to me as well. I had never heard of or seen it before and was thrilled to learn about something new. Half way through, I hunted up the novel in English and read it through, because I couldn't wait a week for the next episode. On the hunt for my next show. I always need a short diversion from real life responsibilities and The Ex-Morning won't last forever.Was this review helpful to you?

DID WE GOT THIS SHIT WRONG ??
okay, sorn got to be the “kid” in this series.. he suppose to be an “adult” but acts annoying asf.from what I heard: “Jun a mischievous high schooler known for his relentless pranks, and Sorn, a composed and orderly man who can’t stand Jun’s antics. Their relationship starts off antagonistic, with Jun’s pranks pushing Sorn’s buttons.” - but it seems the opposite of what I’m getting it seems that sorn a mischievous manchild known for his restlessness pranks and frustrating ass possessiveness and Jun, a composed and orderly man who can’t stand sorns antics- like … this is literally what I’m seeing even though Jun isn’t innocent also, sorn just irritated me the most here honestly.

What did I just watch?
I don't usually write reviews, but this series is so bad, I had to write one anyway.I'll make it short and straight to the point: this is soft p*rn with inconsequential and nonsensical story fillers between scenes. And the p*rn isn't even good. 2 of the 3 couples are stiff, unrealistic kisses, unrealistic positions. My Stubborn shows a lot of non-consent with one couple (BL) and power abuse with the other (GL). Let's not talk about the third... I mean, I was scared the fillers in their lips would explode if they'd applied any pressure while kissing. It was painful to watch.
There are three tired, old and dry-sucked story concepts watered down to literally nothing. They don't really connect to each other either. As for the acting: most did a good job with the crappy material they were given to work with. Some tried hard and it shows.
I hope, you didn't pay to watch this. There is literally better p*rn out there.

A guilty one maybe, but still an absolute Pleasure!
Should I put a disclaimer about how depictions of toxic relationships (not saying there is one here) or really spicy scenes should not be viewed as "cheap" per se? Well, there you go.If you've seen TharnType and you liked it, chances are you will like this BL as well. Lots of bickering and reluctance, a lot of spice, fantastic chemistry and not too much depth story-wise. And those are all not bad things to me. I would even say that I almost certainly will re-watch this BL as many times as I have re-watched TharnType.
Juin and Sorn have known eachother since very young and what Sorn did with Jun in the past was absolutely wrong. He admits that in the last episode, but i do feel his could have been addressed better and clearer. I almost missed it.
They obviously ran out of time or interest to wrap up the other couples besides SornJun and TaiChamp and that is also a shame. I didn't really care for the F/F couple, but even less for loose ends like this.
I could sum up even more problems with the storytelling, but fact is that I don't really care. This series is not about that. What it is about; two young men coming to terms with their insane attraction to eachother that they really don't want but can't run away from. They like eachother's kinks and are so into eachother that the embers come flying through the screen. Jun is totally into Sorn's dom behavior, even though he may feel a bit embarrassed about it. Sorn has been attracted to Jun for years and tried to run away, but he can't. He's just afraid of what their friends and family will think and to scare off Jun.
It almost reads like a cheap romance novel, doesn't it? And that's probably why it's so good. Not pretentious, just insane chemistry.

HEAR ME OUTTTTTTTTT
I KNOW YALL READ THE HEADLINE. This show is actually a banger, and I enjoyed it so much. I would give it an 8.9 out of 10, so a 9 out of 10. So yes I did like it, I was craving this fucking show lmao. Now I am going to say what I liked and what I didn't like, and then give an overview of my reviews from the episodes. (Also I cant spell).Let's break it down. Right off the bat, I was really drawn into this show, despite the start being weird as hell, it opened up for a great show (BE AWARE I AM A MY STUBBORN MEAT RIDER). Their chemistry was really good. I believe this is the first show that the two of them are in together as main leads, and they have this great chemistry, and they played their roles very well. I think the start set up for a power dynamic, which I don't really like because these get weird fast, and it did get weird, but it came around in the end for a really good power dynamic. The actors' acting was also really good, and I thought this was genuinely hilarious. Like, I couldn't stop laughing, and I don't know why. It had this weird charm that I can't really explain, but I was really addicted from the start and was genuinely looking forward to Sunday. This show gets a lot of hate because of the NC scenes and I admit there are a lot, but i had fun with them, becasue they weren't like unbearable to watch. i was either getting second hand embrassment or i was fucking laughing my head off. ALSO THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS SORN IN THE TIGHT SHIRTS AND WIFE BEATERS, THAT WAS SUCH A WIN OH MY GOD. WETTTTT. Wait theres more stuff I liked. i love how when sorn didnt respond to jun's love, he started to rethink everything and had sorn running circles for him. I loved that and felt like it was very needed for them to grow their relationship, because like does sorn like jun more than his body or what? Banger plot and made me want more and it backed up the story more. And i really liked the ending, it felt like just enough for this crazy ass show.
What I didn't like, i think that the plot was lacking in some episodes and they were dragging us along for a lot longer than they needed to. Which is fine, until it isn't, because he feels i dont know kind of this repetitive, which was comforting and I liked, until i didnt. I like that the actor played Sorn's character very well becuase fuck he was getting on my nerves so much and i was so angry every time he came on screen torwards the middle of the show, his character got on my nerves quick and it stopped becoming this nonchalantly hot guy and instead just became a dread in the show. What else. Uh the two other couples. I was fine with Tai and Champ, but i felt myself skipping through their scenes a couple of times (which I really dont ever do), because they felt i dont know kind of boring and out of place. I came around to like them towards the end, and i have an edit planned for them, but Tai was also getting on my nerves. A lot of in-sufferable characters in this fuck ass show. The third couple as well, if you are going to have another couple and you barely have time for them, why have another one? Like i kind of liked their story but it became boring and uninteresting really fast, and i lowkey forgot about them every time they would go off-screen for a long time. I did like their characters and the setup, it just didn't turn out very well. And last thing was the ending with the dad and the sister. I wish they did more with the dad. Like I am glad he was accepting of them, but it felt very rushed and lazy and they could have done more with it, but its whatever.
Just gonna go through my episode reviews and talk about the highlights of each episode and then we will end this bull shit lmao. Banger show fr fr. "My what the fucking is happening." Lmao yeah I was just talking about how sorn is hotter without the ponytail. I was really addicted to it because it was this weird nostgalic vibe and funny as fuck lmao. "This show is not very good, but it is at the same time." If this show came out all in one day, i would have finished it lmao. I get the concept i get what they were trying to go for, and they ate i am being so for real. I am glazing the fuck out of this show and i am going to keep going lmao. I was continuing to laugh at this funny ass show and eat up their dynamic. Sorn was a damn disturbance in the universe because every time jun was slightly bent over i felt his presence. I was hoping they had more time for them and still keeping up the weird dynamic. I really liked the soundtrack as well lmao. The parasites in me wanted this show. Sorn was trying to work out his emotions but he sucks at doing so becasue he can only show anger and agression. I was watching this crazy shit out in public lmao. "The sex scenes are getting better but i hope they got paid extra for these because that's actually insane what the helly." Jun was so into sorns daddy personality, like he cant even hide it. They continued to out do themseleves every damn episode with these sex scenes. Sorn was stunting the whole plot from moving. About episode 9, it started to pull our characters out of pornhub dreamland and into reality and i think they did that well. Fangirling over boat in tight shirts. Sorn when his actions have consequences. "I need more lore and sorn in fitted shirts." And towards the end their dynamic was solidified. The same dynamic that was the start but this time jun feels safe with sorn and not in danger constantly. Sorn was still rough as hell, but every time jun felt in dnager he would get behind him because he knew he would protect him and i thought that was really cute and i am truly gutted that this shit is over.
I would recommend it 100 percent. I will be rewatching. God forbid a woman wants to watch to guys with good chemistry tongue, dude. Okay bye!

Trash Watched .... I'm stunned...
I basically skimmed through the entirety of this when I got to episode 3 and just knew this series wasn't for me. I thought Boy next World was a lot ... my fuck, I was not prepared for all of this.Let's Dive In.
Porn. This is porn. No, this is not "soft core porn" or otherwise it would've been soft, and it wasn't! Was it hot? Of course, porn can't be bad (mostly). But this was entirely too much. The opening scene immediately catapults you into the NC of it all, with almost every single episode containing some kind of sex scene. First off, I'm a slow-burn girlie. If we've already gotten to every single base within the first 3 episodes, then I'm bored. On top of that, the sex is gnarly (everything's gnarly..). There's a scene were Jun is sucking Sorn's dick in the bathroom, which, okay that's enough as it is, but then you hear it. You hear him sucking dick. And then he gags on it, and then he SWALLOWS!! I had to pause and just walk around my room. I mean, this is quite literally insane.
I don't hate on people that loved this just for the NC, because it's there for obvious reasons. I just need a plot on top of the NC, or I am otherwise bored. Although, my favorite scene was probably them having sex and getting interrupted in the midst. That was funny.
This is the danger of having lots of NC in a series too... no one is watching for the series. Half the people watching this (like me) are skimming through this cause the plot is *thumb's down* but the NC is so hyped that you might as well watch it.
Outside of the obviousness of this series, the plot is bad! I could tell by episode two that this was going to be absurd! My goodness! I know these two are going to do another BL, and get this... omegaverse. Dear lord, save us all.
Ratings:
Story: 2/10 - plot? what plot? I also trash watched this. I'm not even considering this a series I watched for real.
Acting: 5/10 - could really sense the chemistry as they are moaning and grunting to each other.
Music: 5/10 - To make it worse, the play the most distracting english song through all of this. oh my god.
Recommendation Value: 7/10 - Sure, watch it. Boat is gorgeous, shirt on/shirt off.

romanticizing manipulation
there were so many meaningless nsfw scenes that you could tell were filmed separately and randomly placed in between scenes. sorn's utter toxicity and manipulation was almost too much to handle. he constantly was made out to look like a "hero" in jun's life but in reality he always just forced jun into physical interactions that nobody asked for!!! the main leads had absolutely no chemistry, they never shared a moment of intimacy beyond sex until AFTER they started dating.. and even then it was crumbs. whenever the audience thought we were getting a cute moment they just started making out. jun is way too immature to be dating sorn, their relationship was built off the fact that sorn manipulated him into being friends with and even when jun acknowledges that he proceeds to.... confess his feelings??? sorn constantly says jun was "too young" when excusing his feelings for him and said he has trauma from his ex being too young but....... how young was she if sorn almost went to jail for it....... but anywho.. there were SO many scenes where jun verbally says "no" to sorn's advantages and yet sorn uses force to pin jun down. also DOES JUN HATE HIS OWN BOYFRIEND?!?!? there is never a moment where he doesn't look uncomfortable with sorn.as for the side couple.. i honestly thought they were boring at first. but i'd take a boring consensual couple over the main leads ANY DAY. they honestly grew on me, i liked how they actually had development and we could ACTUALLY see they liked each other... i loved Thai's character because he always said exactly what i was thinking. he was the only character to call out sorn's utter manipulation.
also what was the point of the lesbian side couple? it's like they were an after thought. they tried giving them lore but never elaborated on it. i think it would've been better if they were a couple since episode one and just kept it a secret from the work space while everyone thinks they dislike each other. there was no need for Penny to be friends with benefits with sorn and there was no reason for the writers to tell us they were "ex lovers" and not give us the backstory. there were just so many gaps and not even just with the lesbians but with the main and side couples as well.
i cannot stress enough how bad this show pmo, there are so many things i didn't even mention. watch if you only care about NC scenes i suppose lmao

Series name -Soft porn
I had to stop watching this series midway as it completely lost my interest. It felt more like soft porn than a proper narrative. The story was weak or practically non-existent, with scenes focused more on sexual content than actual character development or plot. If you're looking for a compelling story, this might not be the right series for you. Very disappointing.Was this review helpful to you?
Irritating as fuck
I saw so many bad reviews then i avoided this series but i saw one review about this series that this series is good coz it focus on the relationship sorn and jun, then i was like okay then i will click, first 3 episodes i did enjoyed then i started to get annoyed of sorn, mf obsessed with sex and just want to sleep with jun and jun is playing so naive that he do anything as long as sorn says. Jun can't even talk with someone sorn started scold. Wtf is that? What about jun social life? Doubting on everyone? Seriously if i was jun i would have kick in his balls. Sorn will sleep anyone but jun can't even talk with his colleague? Who the fuck is writer of this series? I don't mind NC scene as long as story is fucking good. If we see game of thrones nobody can beat this series on nudity and sex but story if this series top tier. Literally i am on ep 8 and he is have allergies on body and sorn wants to have sex instead of taking to hospital. Wtf is that? Oh god. Sorn is irritating and annoying and biggest hypocrite. I just wanna punch sorn first then i wanna punch jun as well for not being hard, not resisting whatever sorn try to do. That is relationship development? He just wants to fuck jun and viewer are saying that they r focusing on the story development of led character. Seriously, producer producing anything, actor acting on anything without reading script. Ufff there is no words to say about my hatred towards actor, writer, producers. Just u have NC scene that doesn't make good series.Was this review helpful to you?
Typical OTT Thai BL with oodles of smut and full of delish RAD FLAGS :D
All the degenerate red flag lovers unite....lol...it doesn't get any more deliciously toxic, problematic, and filled with red-flags than this show ..or at least for a long time now....it has all the bad, toxic, and forbidden tropes that we are always told to scorn/hate...sure shot formulae for it to be liked, right?... I'm sure digging it, for all the wrong reasons...and not ashamed at all!! Oat as Jun, is just killing it...hands down...love love love him...but all the other couples in this show, are just so extra !!BL-needle Score: 8.5 Very High BL-ness
With that 'jerky' opening, they sure had my attention :D......I thought, okay....the smut is good, and so are the leads...Sorn evidently seemed like he had his eyes, heart, hands and 'everything else' up and set to make Jun realise what and who he really likes....NGL, though I kinda liked it, I was a tad unsure if I would watch it regularly....the first episode did grab my attention, and set the expectations (smut, OTT, predatory love, I'm guessing) and gave us the hook to want to be back...and then I ignored it for sometime to finally catch up at one go now....ah...its such a toxic delight..:D
The tension between the leads, Sorn and Jun, was sizzling from the word go, and now it has become a full blown toxic relationship with sex that can't be resisted .....the chemistry between them is plain alluring....the result is a lot of very gratifying smut...and then all the hookey and bad-boi tropes - I love you, but will never admit it, I want you to respect me but can never say no to your d*ck and kisses, I must be pushed to my very limit before I say STOP...and now we have finally come to that juncture.....
I will be dying to see how Jun says no to Sorn and send the tensions skyrocketing....and we are all soooooooooooooooo waiting to see Jun find his voice now, aren't we?? LOL....so, yes, it has now got me hooked big time...and if you are a toxic-trope-lover degenerate like me, you will love it too.

Giving up.
Wow, what a terrible show, in every possible way. Sorn is obsessive and abusive, and by episode 10 shows no sign of changing. He just chases Jun around, ignoring the fact that Jun has literally gone into hiding to avoid him. Jun changed his internship, moved out, blocked him, and still Sorn finds him. If this was a normal show, Jun would have gotten a restraining order against Sorn. I kept watching because I thought maybe Sorn would learn something, change for the better. But no. He just does the same things over and over. He's never even said WHY he likes Jun. There's zero connection other than the forced sex scenes, which mostly Jun seems to not even want.It's not hot to be stalked. It's not okay when someone grabs you when you don't want it. Not even in a made up show.
Plus the acting is just not it. When Sorn is supposed to look upset he just moves his eyes around. Once you notice it you won't be able to unsee it. And they had to have a fem boy as comic relief. I thought BLs were past using this old trope. What a train wreck.

A WASTE OF TIME (I watched it so you don't have to)
Honestly, I don't know why I watched this show because it was so bad. The acting was bad and the story was non-existent. It was full of abuse, unnecessary sex scenes, and toxicity between the main characters. I'm glad I didn't watch it on a legit site because that's not the kind of production I want to support. Don't watch it, this show is really just a good representation of what's wrong with the BL industry.Was this review helpful to you?
