Thanks for covering sensitive topic like cheating, inferior complexity and etc. What a rare gem.

Dislike
They both cheated on each other but only vee part was shown
Cheating is choice, i think we should stop glorifying cheating, once a cheater always cheater,
Even mark slept with someone when he is perusing someone
Well if we do what vee did with mark i mean following desperately everywhere people will file case against you

Like
Like the way they include all the sensitive top like inferior complexity, cheating, trust issues, trauma, depression, pain, social insecurities, and list goes. These topics are very rare is asian bl series. So kudos to makers for showing actual real life story especially what we go through just coz of one cheating
The way actors protray their character it was good. Its hard to see bl actors with amazing acting skills especially vee and mark.
Even though this drama was set in university, I like this drama is different unlike other university where handsome and popular fall in love, they fake their relationship and carry guitar.

Yeah we have our taste which genre we gonna watch. But according to story and acting we should stop giving negative review. At first i avoided this drama coz i saw so many negative review and i avoided till yesterday but when i started to watch I finished this series in one day. This drama is rare gem.

Unquestionably, one of the finest BLs

Captivating. Mesmerizing. These are just some of the adjectives I would use to describe this astonishing and exceptional Bl series that uses the standard formulaic idea for most Thai BL series. So why did this one so capture my attention and frankly my heart deeply? Unquestionably because of the connection and chemistry between its two main stars. I believed their story from the beginning to the end. It is one of the best acted BL series to come along in a very long time. I thoroughly enjoyed this series for its depthless of its main characters.

Loved, loved, loved it!!

This is one of the best drama's i've seen. I already liked the En of love version of Love mechanics, but this extended version is so much better.

It's not a complicated story, but in my opinion that is not nessasary to make it a fantastic drama. Some people are nitpicking on drama's but i am not one of them. For me a drama is great if i am enjoying it from start till end. There is not always need for a complicated storyline, a simple one can also be very satisfying.

I don't understand people rating it low because they say it's rape in the beginning. Mark was seducing him ( thinking he was Bar) and pushing him to the limit, they both had to much to drink and Vee eventually (after pushing Mark away several times) went for it. No rape involved in my opinion...

This is a story that tells about commitment and love. And also how hard it can be to leave a bad relationship just because you are so long together and are used to care for a person for so long.

Yin and War are amazing together, their acting is so natural and the chemistry is off the charts. They are a match made in heaven, one of my favorite BL couples.

I will definatly watch this more times in the future.

Why was this considered 18+?

Why was this drama considered "mature?" There wasn't anything really 18+ in it. It was cute, but a bit boring with no real story. The kiss scenes were weak and no NC scenes at all that were worth watching to even be considered as mature. It was just a very, basic BL series. I'm at a crossroads on whether I'd watch it again. If I'm looking for something soft and a bit boring, then maybe, but I have to be honest here; I don't recommend this BL to anyone, especially if you like BL'S with more spice, because this isn't it. It's more fluff. I'm more of a spicy BL fan with series that contain more NC scenes, with a good story too. That's why I loved Venus in The Sky. Good story and spicy scenes! Need more BL'S like it.

Definitely an Upgrade

I've watched both versions and can honestly say this is definitely an upgrade from the original. The chemistry between the 2 male leads is amazing and they play their respective characters well.
As with all series in this trope, there are the clichéd moments and characters. The story could do with more polishing and of course you will find yourself talking to the screen, in various exclamations! Would really like to see what happens with some of the other pairings that happened along the way, not just Bar.
Will be watching out for new series with this duo, they are just that good together x

Started this for yinwar and ended this for yinwar

PRO: DEFINITELY the acting and chemistry. Yinwar has one of the most or not the best natural chemistry out there. Uknow how sometimes BL couples do the extreme skinships/moments off screen just so that people Believe they’re in love on screen? With Yinwar, they don’t have to do all of that, the chemistry just felt so natural that I often watched some cute scenes over and over again just to see whether it’s the characters VeeMark or isit just yinwar. It’s just that natural, like not acting and it’s scary 😂. War always known for his great acting so I always know he’ll be good, he is more than good, he is great. But What surprised me is Yin. Yin improved by leaps, he wasnt jumping or running, he’s flying to the top. He made the flawed character so alive, relatable and loved. Super proud of him ! They deserve more opportunities in other series, I want romcom for them, they’re natural comedians with natural chemistry. Please make it happen 🙏🏻

PRO: I loves all the soundtracks, especially Mist (The only rock song in here). The cute orchestra music of Aon Mae Geng (yinwar’s song) sometimes reminds me of Bridgeton’s soundtrack and I love it.

CON: PLOT. For me, up till ep3, I love it, nothing to complain about (even better after watching the Director’s cut). But ep4 starts going downhill. I don’t know why the writer pushed the character Ploy so much, as if shes a main character, as if her story, her reason to cheat, her troubled relationship with other man is important, like? No…I don’t want to see that, why we have to see that? Shes definitely the most irritating girl character I ever seen, so shameless. The writer really hated her, or love her so much idk, thats why they decided to put so much of her in the story. Some of the plot is predictable, and too dramatic sometimes. The writer also hate veemark being happy I guess, emphasizing so much on them in pain rather than the happy time that usually cut short. I know this is an angst genre, but still…do u have to be that cruel?? Well, it’s preference after all, for me thanks to this, I realized I can’t with angst, too painful. And because of that, I can’t fully enjoy the plot as I was hoping for. It’s not a bad plot, it’s just decent. It has so much potential to be much better.

In conclusion, whether i will rewatch, I will deff say I will, but only for the cute veemark’s parts, not the whole thing. Will I recommend people to watch? Yeah I will, but with disclaimer. Only watch if you want to be in pain and u don’t mind messiness.

Love is a battlefield, fr

Do I love and adore dubcon? Not really. Do I pray for an infidelity trope? Absolutely not. But I love good story and this was a pretty damn good story.

Acting:

WOW. Everyone was absolutely amazing in this. Everything just felt so real. It was a pretty raw story that called for some seriously deep emotions and everyone delivered on that tenfold. I was blown away in general. No flaws to be found here in the acting. Just BRAVO.

Writing:

This was painfully real. Like, damn. With the exception of the over-the-top drama trope inclusions like the dubcon intro, the crash, and the attempted mugging, of course. The basic concept to this plot was just so well put together. I’m so surprised I ended up loving this. I honestly expected to hate everyone and call it a day, but this was very well written and executed. There were a couple little things besides the obvious drama tropes that were a bit iffy, but overall I really enjoyed this as a story.

Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:

The chemistry between these two dudes is SO GOOOD. They are amazing, 10/10. This was a surprisingly fantastic romance story. I don’t typically love a realistic fiction type romance (I love a wild tale) but this was very satisfying. The kissing was superb through and through. Loved it, they are fantastic at portraying love and desperation through kissing. BRAVO.

Music/SFX:

Some serious corny drama music in here. Not my favorite, but I can’t complain too much as it is a drama after all. SFX were good throughout.

I’m so happy I ended up giving this series a chance. It did not disappoint whatsoever.

Now, for some highlights from my notes:

- Ya’ll, I’m STRESSED about that #1 infidelity tag going into this, don’t piss me off
- So dub con from 2 minutes in, huh
- My poor baby just tryna get him the man of his dreams awwee
- *I'll be drunk again to feel a little love*
- This is TOXIC TOXIC
- JEEEESUS
- Awwee honey nooo that’s so awful
- NEIGHBORRRRRRSSS????????????
- This is MESSY MESSY
- We really dove right in no pretext, huh
- I already hate it here
- Don’t piss me off
- AHHHHHHHHHH MESSYY TOXIICCC
- Emotional staring contest
- *And I know that he knows I’m unfaithful and it kills him inside to know that I am happy with some other guy*
- *Hey jealousyyyy*
- *Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin'. when he was eight years old*
- They are so cute, but this is SO MESSYY
- That is pretty tough pill to swallow but you also cheated so like…
- Baby is passive-aggressive posting lmao
- He’s not gonna do it, he’s a coward
- JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJUST BREAK UP YA’LL ARE A MESS
- Boy is a MESS
- Keep. Your. Word.
- COWARD, YOU ARE A COWARD
- *Baby really hurt me, crying in the taxi. He don't wanna know me. Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm. Says it was poison*
- Actions speak louder than words, brother
- Obligatory guitar serenade
- Manipulative little shit saying I love you like that
- BRO YOU GOTTA BERAK THINGS OFF OFFICIALLY WITH GIRLY
- I’ve got a bad feeling about this
- CALL BABY RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP ME
- CLEAR THIS UP
- CLEAR IT UP
- GO
- JUST SAY WHAT HAPPENED. WHY ARE WE NOT BLURTING OUT THE TRUTH SO DUMB
- Just. Explain. What. Happened.
- Okay, you got me, there are tears
- Alright, fine. You’re getting a playlist
- Ahh yes, a car crash. Classic.
- Someone literally anyone tell Mark what happened or I’m gonna snap
- That hurt me and Vee fr
- Wait, no… This hurts jesus christ
- I’M GONNA FUCKING LOSE IT TELL HIM OH MY GOD
- I get it, I drove a ‘98 little green Rav 4 in high school and college with a rusted frame that only passed inspection because I knew the auto shop owner personally
- Who is this tall dark and disgusting
- Ya’ll are NOT in the same weight class tho so…
- Bros gonna get Ko’d so quick
- Again, not the same weight class … Like not even close
- Bro thinks he’s Mignon
- How does one fuck up Som Tum tho lmao
- Mark the minxxx
- Lucky you didn't show up 15-30 minutes later, you would’ve gotten quite the show
- Bro is an engineering student, not an aspiring philosopher. Like, relax, he’ll do fine. Also, they both got into the same engineering program
- This went from a drama to a DRAMA real quick lmao
- This better be 30 minutes of fluff for this last episode
- Just tell him you have a job that isn’t odd
- A RIIIING YESSSSSS
- Not the after credits roleplay lmaooo

Love conquers all

A refreshing ride.

I loved how there was character growth for the main couple. It was realistic and sweet and also showed how relationships trully arent always rosey, there will be patches in between and it depends on how much trust and love you have in each other. Though it became kind of draggy in the middle but then picked up towards the end so I didnt really mind.

The romance too was niceee

Yes

I liked it a lot, I thought that even involving adultery, a little dependence, the drama managed to develop a happy ending. I really enjoyed Vee's development and how he matured throughout the series. As for Mark, I think he suffered a lot from both heartbreak and Vee's fault of doing things wrong, but in the end I think that was how the two should end up.
About the guys who were into Mark, Nuea was the only one that I really felt like I really liked Mark not only for his looks but for everything he was.

GREAT COUPLE!!! But TOO MUCH DRAMA

First i would like to start my review with how much i adored this couple!!!! They both look so good and their chemistry is on point. Their acting is top notch too.
And series is good like your casual college drama, story has depths in it yes but it comes to the point that drama never stops like you just wanna breathe and enjoy their relationship but noooo drama is always there. It kinda bummed me out a little bit, i would like to see more of them. Some situations may have been handled differently we could’ve see a little different things but that’s okay too.
It’s not a spoiler but the last episode gives us hints about their relationship and dynamics a lot of more and i loved that!!!! Don’t skip the last episodes after credits!!!
Overall i liked the series and loved the couple, if you can handle drama it’s worth to watch. Definetly wanna see more of them i hope they will continue the series!

Too much drama

It's the story about two boys that start on very bad terms. One is in love with a friend of the other...and that's already complicated. But they eventually fall in love with each other although the top has got a girlfriend. They hurt each other on the way, mainly the top that hurts the bottom. But the bottom is a very frail and sensitive boy therefore he always takes the other back.
By the way... in Italy we don't say "frail and sensitive", we say "sottone" and I think that's beautiful.

I actually liked the drama but it's not one of my favourites. I think that the main characters haven't a good personality. The top is possessive but also playful and always justifies his behaviour while the bottom is too attached to whoever he likes and let them trumple over him. Well, enjoy!
