Wandee Goodday

excellent, though you can see the ropes

The word for this is HOT... The two ML's are hot together, end of. If you are looking for something more abt this drama, like villains or conflict or anything - there is not much to it. It's just one - or even two! - gay couples that come up with hot stuff, and thats it! We have role-play, innuendo, teasing, flirting, naked bodies - and i mean, ripped bodies!, power struggle - you name it.
Oh and there is also some comedic relief to the sexual tension... I guess the director was afraid to handle the 18+ content in a mature way so he turned to this trick instead.
Rewatch? Why not? Its funny and... wink wink. Sex sells!

Addicting

Everything about this drama so far is delicious! The plot. The actors. The acting. The pace. Yes, yes, yes and yes. The chemistry is natural and comforting, and the characters are all around likable and funny. This drama is one of my favorites this year!
I genuinely cannot express how well this drama and the acting is. I love a fake relationship plot but I love even more that unlike other shows I’ve watched, or books I’ve read where the main characters usually are indifferent with each other or using each other simply because of convenience, our main leads enjoy each others company and as the audience can tell, they are quite smitten with each other.

Finally! Another awesome BL!

When GMMTV announced their part 1 announcement for the year 2024, not gonna lie, only two series caught my attention. One was 'My Golden Blood' and the next one was 'Wandee Goodday.' They both seemed interesting, and I was excited to see these actors (Fluke from 'My Golden Blood' and Inn from 'Wandee Goodday') in a new series.

I adore this series so much, as it had basically everything that i want from a BL. Good acting, good storyline, great OST, no dreaded eleventh episode, being able to solve an issue between them quickly were some of the things that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was also very informative in things in life that a lot of BL's don't really talk about. And yes, it started off steamy (with them being friends with benefits/ being in a fake boyfriend relationship) and ended up so sweet (with them actually being boyfriends) that you felt like you will go into a diabetic shock. But that's just how I like it!

I enjoyed waiting to watch this series over the twelve weeks that I know I am going to miss waiting to see any new episodes. Inn and Great did a terrific job and I do hope that they get the opportunity to star in more BL's together. That being said, I'm giving this series a 9.5- only because there were some side characters I couldn't stand and still can't stand, although they kind of got their little redemption at the end of this series. I would most definitely recommend this series to others.

YAKDEE ARE LOVE

After a long time I found myself mesmerized by a couple in a bl series. I am so glad I watched this show i have completely obsessively and wholeheartedly fallen for great and inn as actors and for YAKDEE both as a couple and individuals in this series. They are perfect for each other ❤️ watching this show made me realise why I watch bl series it is all those cute moments, hot moments and funny moments but most importantly it is the feeling of happiness you get from watching two people falling in love and see their love blossom without any judgment or boundaries or rules that dictate our real lives.

wonderful!!

i originally only started watching this one because i was bored and needed to waste time. i didn't think anything would come of it but i was hoping to be entertained.
i proceeded to become deeply obsessed with the show for the next 2 months.
love triangles, or squares or whatever, have never been something i've been drawn to in TV, so imagine my surprise when i couldn't stop thinking about this one.
many bare minimum things to be praised here, so i'll get that out of the way - i like that taem wasn't villainized like many women in BL. she was wonderful and loveable and i adore her.
discussions of safe sex, including STD vaccines. discussions of mental health issues and trauma in a normal way, that doesn't blame the affected character or makes them seem like a bad person. i like kao - i LOVE kao. being an ace lesbian myself, it's always difficult to see yourself represented in media. often times, queer relationships are inherently made sexual. and if you're asexual, you can't be interested in a relationship, right?
i loved that they showed kao's struggled with being a gay, asexual man - it made me feel seen. he's someone who has an intimate understanding of sex, but it doesn't interest him. many times, asexuality is attributed to inexperience or a lack of knowledge. kao doesn't have that, and he's still ace. i wish there was more screentime for him! i was really hoping for it. either way, i'm so happy he ended up finding someone who was right for him <3 love blue as well!!
the relationships characters had between each other was beautiful. kao and dee's friendship, dee and his grandma, yak and yei, all different kinds of platonic love that was so comforting to watch.
i actually quite liked when they focused on those relationships for a bit, i saw many people criticize the later episodes for being boring, but i thought it was a really nice way of exploring the characters and their bonds deeper.
now, of course, i do have to give some words for the main pairing as well. dee and yak are both very lovable characters to me. they both have some struggles, and they don't act perfect sometimes. but they communicate pretty well most of the time and their relationship is one i genuinely found myself very invested in and actively rooting for.
(also, the tropes were so good... that brief enemies to friends... the fake dating going into friends to lovers... UGHHH fake dating is the best trope ever. you're telling me they're pretending to be in love, but then someone actually develops feelings??)
they are very supportive of each other. great and inn are wonderful actors and portray them so well. if there's one thing i would criticize, it's that some (!!) of their kissing scenes felt a bit stiff lol
i think there's room for improvement there. otherwise, i just really loved the show.
honorable mention for oyei and cher, i personally didn't feel much for their relationship, but the episode of them getting engaged did get me teary-eyed. i <3 queer joy!

-some criticism: relationship starts off with them having intercourse while one character is under the influence. he seems to be (surprisingly) present and he remembers everything afterwards, but it still makes me feel a bit weird, because minutes earlier, he literally passed out. i don't drink, so i don't know what it's like to be drunk, but i don't think that's how it works?? lmao
sometimes you need to close your eyes at inconsistenties like this 😭
-ep 3, yak mentioned worrying about his public image for dating a man, and this worry is truly NEVER brought up again. not sure why it was said if they were just gonna abandon it like he didn't say it 🤣
-i don't really understand why they made ter and taem end up together. it was pointless. and to be honest, i think she deserves someone better.

there's more things but honestly my memory is not very good, so i'll leave it at this. anyways, i really liked this. it's my favorite BL released this year, and probably ranks high in my all time favs. i love rom-coms. we need more rom-coms of adults. they are truly WONDERFUL! and i hope we will see more of greatinn :)

i'm gonna miss this show so much! next week, i will sacrifice my soul to dee / yak. stay tuned for that

Very cute BL with a contrasting but endearing & funny CL

PLOT: Dee, an orthopedic doctor, has had a crush on his senior colleague, Dr. Ter, for a long time. One night, he confesses his feelings, is rejected, and gets drunk. He's picked up, completely drunk, by Yoryak (a boxer he treated), and they end up having a one-night stand. Dee and Yoryak become FwB, then a fake couple (although Yoryak has a crush on a female student), to help Dee win a coveted scholarship for studying abroad, a scholarship also coveted by Dr. Ter. But little by little, Dee and Yoryak's feelings become confused.

+++ Great and Inn Sarin make an endearing, moving, and respectful couple with superb chemistry ლ(╹◡╹ლ) I'd love to see them together again soon.
+++ The other actors are talented and bring well-developed characters to life.
+++ The story is coherent and realistic (or almost - a romantic speech at a boxing championship? A "boyfriend" declaration at a professional awards ceremony?). The series advocates👏 👏 for same-sex marriage, trans rights, asexuality, etc. 👏👏
+++ The direction is effective (good boxing scenes), well-paced, and alternates between emotional moments and fun ones.
+++ The soundtracks aren't too intrusive, and I really like the song sung by Great (who has a very pretty voice).

### Minor sound issues in some scenes.
### A few clichés (love rivals).
### P'Ter's character is detestable (manipulative, a liar, etc.). Alas for the actor! The rival boxers' characters are rather caricatural.

=> A feel-good and easy-to-watch series, with an adorable CL Great-Inn Sarin.

BL très cute avec un CL contrasté mais craquant

PLOT: Dee, orthopédiste à un crush sur son collègue senior, Dr Ter depuis longtps. Un soir, il se déclare, se fait rejeté et s'enivre. Il est ramassé ivre mort, par Yoryak (boxeur qu'il a eu en consultation) et ils finissent par une one-night-stand. Dee et Yoryak deviennent FwB, puis fake couple (bien que Yoryak ait +/- un crush sur 1 étudiante), pr aider Dee a remporté la bourse d'1 voyage d'étude très convoité à l'étranger, bourse également convoitée par Dr Ter. Mais peu à peu, les sentiments de Dee et de Yoryak deviennent confus.

+++ Great et Inn Sarin forment un couple attachant, émouvant, respectueux, avec une superbe alchimie ლ(╹◡╹ლ) J'aimerai les revoir ensemble prochainement.
+++ Les autres acteurs sont talentueux et donnent vie à des personnages bien dvlpés.
+++ La story est cohérente, réaliste (ou presque - discours amoureux lors d'1 championnat de boxe ?? déclaration "petit ami" lors d'1 remise de prix professionnelle ??). La série est militante 👏 👏 avec le mariage pour tous, les trans, les asexuels, etc. 👏👏
+++ La réalis° est efficace (bonnes scènes de boxe), rythmée., et alterne les instants d'émotion avec les moments fun.
+++ Les OSTs ne sont pas trop intrusives et j'aime bcp la chanson chantée par Great (qui a 1 très jolie voix).

### Petit problème de son sur certaines scènes.
### Qq clichés (rivaux amoureux).
### Personnage de P'Ter détestable (manipulateur, menteur, etc.). Dommage pour l'acteur ! Personnages des boxeurs concurrents assez prêts de la caricature.

=> Série feel-good et easy-to-watch, avec un CL Great-Inn Sarin adorable.
