My Stubborn

Meh

You know, I really don’t have many expectations of most of the Thai BLs and looking at this mediocre one proves I’m right. What we have here is a tacky porny BL with a lame (and barely there) plot and lukewarm if not downright bad acting. The main couple is so hard to root for because let’s agree that the kid deserves way better than being Sorn’s toy . I don’t trust their happy ending. If I were that kid’s mom I would try really hard to keep him away from that nasty piece of work that is Sorn and probably give him a slap over the head to grow a freaking spine. . The secondary couple is a snooze-fest and not even the fact that I like Yoon manages to save it. I actually think that Yoon’s role in all this mess is to be an eye candy. So yeah, if all you look for in a Bl is bed scenes to make you hot and bothered this series is for you. If you want depth, romance, good acting and mature, likable characters look for other Bls, there are a lot of them this year.

A fun drama

I don't care about the popular opinion here.

Many reviews have highlighted how the story lacked depth or whatever and the drama was just NC scenes but what some people fail to grasp is that just because the scenes are r18 doesn't mean the story lacked substance. Lust evolving into love is a story that can actually have a lot of substance if done well and MY STUBBORN did it very well. You have two (maybe 4?) people getting together to fulfill their baser needs but fall in love along the way, what's not to love about people in love being in denial and a major conflict and separation that leads to longing which later brings out a happy ending?

I love the story and the characters, sometimes simple is good and the story even though it was simple was not boring at any point of the drama and I will stand by this opinion of mine no matter what anyone else says.

I hate Sorn… so much

*inhale* * exhale* It‘s just a fictional character.
So. Up until like episode 8+, or whenever Jun had enough of Sorn‘s behaviour, I put up with it.
There wasn‘t much story to begin with. This series lived off of the characters and their relationships. And once it came to Sorn having to redeem himself and failing this hard (in my eyes) it was over for me. I could not continue. I kinda still had the hope Jun would stand his ground (get together with that delivery/restaurant guy) and not let Sorn back into his life because he knew exactly what Sorn was doing… but through social media posts I could see that they‘d get back together and That I did not want to see. Two episodes left and not even a glimpse of possible change on Sorn‘s part, no thank you. Even if he changed, this is just not enough time to change my mind about him.
Ugh. It‘s been weeks since I stopped watching and I hoped that would help write a review and yet my anger has been refueled so much it blurrs my thoughts.

Jun had quite the development in character. He noticed what he wanted and needed, what is wrong, what is too much for him and showed an immense amount of emotional maturity compared to Sorn. Setting boundaries is hard, especially when you‘re very used to getting them overstepped. It feels completely wrong and scary. And Sorn knew that, that sleazy SOB.
That conversation in the warehouse was my last straw… 🤬 Sorn really knew that all he had to do was say „I like you“ back, make a few half assed promises and good is. And he barely managed to do that. As soon as he saw how Jun‘s wall started to crack he didn‘t really care about anything else, just that he could slither back in and get his „possesion“ back. He did not respect any of the boundaries Jun put down. Jun clearly said to not kiss him with tongue and next thing Sorn does is exactly that. Trash! Trash, trash, trash!
Now that I wrote it out it‘s so clear: Sorn saw Jun as his plaything that he could fully control, coerce to whatever sexual thing wherever and whenever he wanted and as soon as Jun refused and put boundaries he first got more aggressive about keeping his control and then when Jun left he acted like a child whose toy got taken away. UGH.

And Jun‘s friends… they supported him sure, at first. But as soon as Sorn looked a little pityful they tried to convince Jun to get back. Trash them as well.

But I guess props to Boat (& the writers) for playing(writing) the character so well it made me eternally hate him. Too bad it also made me stop watching the series. He could’ve worked very well as the villain in another story.
Also kudos to Oat, his performance as Jun was great. And them together worked well, I guess. I hope to see them in another drama where I will like the characters enough until the end.

The boss and his employee‘s story airtime was a little too spread apart. A little more frequency could‘ve been beneficial. Their story got completely overshadowed by the main couple. I can‘t remember enough to comment on their relationship development. They had issues, too. Issues that should‘ve been explored more.
And up until I‘ve read a review that mentioned the GL plotline I had forgotten about them. I mostly skipped their parts because it felt weird, disconnected from the rest and hence out of nowhere that those two got together. Other than one of them having a fling with Sorn and working at the same place or just the same industry? idr, they had no connection to the main cast. Kind of a waste. :/

Overall there was just so much more I did not enjoy than enjoy. A toxic character can be interesting and „fun“ but this was just too much for me.

Too Toxic

Spoiler Alert.
The main character, Sorn, is toxic and manipulative. He takes advantage of the younger Jun throughout the first nine episodes. His toxic behavior is inexcusable.
Jun is just a bit too naive for someone his age. He is partly to blame for the messy relationship since he allows Sorn to take advantage of him.
The NC scenes are often in bad taste, since we know Jun was forced into accepting Sorn.
Even when Sorn tries to apologize in Episode 10, he holds onto Jun against his will and even yells at him at times. A few words of apology will not undo all of the terrible things Sorn has done. I could not go on to the final episodes.

This crew of fine actors deserved better. There could have been good chemistry between all the couples, but the mean-spirited storyline destroyed all that.

Addicting!

Jun and Sorn are so cute. They are a good match. Jun has a very expressive eyes that you can really feel his emotions. That when he is sad, the viewers will feel sad too.

I also like the story of the main characters. They are in denial at first though it is obvious that they like each others very much. They feel jealous upon seeing one with other people, and i love it.

It is also good to note that Jun is already 30 years old but he fits his role very well. He looks young and very innocent.

Sorn also fits his role. He has a good body and being a possesive of Jun is so cute.

I am a doing a rewatch of all episodes because i love the main characters. I cant wait for the love story of Jun and Sorn to unfold as new episodes air.

A Beautiful Disaster, And I'm Kinda Living for It!!!

Let’s be honest, plot? Nowhere to be found. It feels like they tossed the script, looked at each other, and said, “Let’s just vibe.” Luckily, I read the book before watching, or I’d have been completely lost. If you're going in blind... good luck.

The dialogue? Off. Like, weirdly off. Most of the time it’s just random one-liners with zero depth or connection. It’s like they forgot people actually talk with emotions. The second leads? Literal cameos. They pop in, do a line or two, and disappear like background props.

BUT....and this is a big but Boat and Oat? Their chemistry is on fire. Seriously. Every time they’re on screen together, it's electric. At first I was like, “Why are there so many NC scenes??” But plot twist: none of them felt unnecessary. They actually fit. That tension? That raw energy? Chef’s kiss.

Now, back to the chaos. Most of the cast doesn’t feel natural at all. Some of the acting is so stiff, it totally pulls you out of the moment. It’s a real shame, because the characters could be interesting. There's potential in the story, but it’s buried under clunky delivery and questionable pacing.

And can someone please explain why random kids are delivering coffee out of nowhere?? Like?? Make it make sense. Honestly, the whole thing is a hot mess. But weirdly enough... a deliciously messy one. You kinda can’t look away.

Props to the leads for doing their best to hold it together. They’re pouring their hearts out, even when the writing gives them nothing to work with. But let’s be real without a stronger foundation, I don’t see how this will keep viewers hooked. It's already starting to feel repetitive.

Final verdict? If you’re here for logic, depth, or tight storytelling… maybe skip it. But if you're in the mood for steamy chemistry, emotional chaos, and some good ol’ beautiful nonsense go ahead and press play. Just don’t forget to lower your expectations and embrace the mess.
