Hot boxer and sexy doctor? OH YES!
I love how positive the vibe of this show is- been a while I watch BL like this!While I absolutely love NCs, I appreciate how this show is able to carry its weight without having to sell NC only.
This is one of the rare FWB show that is actually non-toxic but healthy! I love how Yoryak and Wandee supports each other dreams, how they care and understand one another and just so many of the lovey doves moments. I melt!
Highlight for me is actually Cher!!! I'm a big fan of OyeCher- I want them with their own series! I love how their love story really feels DEEP and REAL= like it's very realistic instead of only fluffy. I really love the proposal scene. It is the simplest yet sweetest one I've watched. It totally touches my heart and makes me cry. I mean, there isn't anything near fancy yet its beautiful and sincere.
I also love how this carries positive message such as HPV vaccination, normalising mental health care and the implicit meaning of "My Good Day, MY Choice"! They even educate on asexual a little, really well done at GMMTV is constantly expanding its inclusivity!
Very well done on ending where there's no loose end and everyone has their happy ending, including Dr. Ter and Thaem! Yay!
This is a funny, meaningful story, inspiring message, and great acting too- especially Great who plays Yoryak!

Lovely actors, come get some laughs, some true love and enjoy a really cheerful series
A simple plot to start with, a romcom, a romantic comedy to get you laugh a lot, but at the times goes on the characters are getting deeper emotionally, psychological, and touching.The amazing, really amazing chemistry between the main actors are worth watching, to star a couple as "friends with benefits" to something more in a very realistic and touching story.
Every chapter has their own plot, an event to ocurr and some words to be said. Getting deeper to talk about family traumas, HPV vaccine, health care, sports, feelings, emphaty and love, lots of charming, hot and cute scenes.
Worth it every minute! Thanks for making a series so rounded and complete in so many additional topics besides the main plot.
Maybe it lacked more deep on details about boxing, or the second couple has poor chemistry, but the lights, colors, scenarios and production of the series is very well done.

What's not to love... ?
You got a good story going on, that's always a plus in my book. Let's not forget the hotness you get from just looking at them then put in great chemistry and you got it going on. There is also great music throughout the series, get to laugh why you watch, who doesn't love to laugh? Oh you also get some serious moments that some people go through in life, but it's not played out like in some series/movies.As a plus the other couple (his brothers relationship) are a good fit. They were so cute together. Even when they were fighting, though that could be because Cher was just to cute. They were kind of funny in there fights. 😁
Gotta love the witty retorts you get to hear from all of them at times as well, one of the reasons you get to laugh in this series.
All in all if you want to watch something fun yet serious at times, that will give you a good laugh throughout the series, with great chemistry and hotness this would be a great one to watch. I would re-watch this one again and again. and I don't say that often. 💖

SEXY and FUNNY
The first and most important thing was the choice of the main characters. Great Sapol (Yak) and Inn Sarin (Dee), each of them is charming, with different personalities, but they complement each other. Not to mention that they are both beautiful and very cute. The second success lies in the script and direction of the series, in taking unrealistic situations and transforming them into something that is believable, visceral, sentimental in the right measure, and that motivates the viewer to cheer. The characters here are not just romantic objects, they have something more inside them. The supporting cast also shines and moves in this story. I always think that the secret of a good romance, a romance that leaves us intoxicated, rooting for the main couple, lies in this: in giving a lot of flavor to something that is already familiar, in meeting our expectations that these two people understand each other in ways that we are not expecting. I started the series skeptical, but I ended up converted! Best romantic comedy of the year !! Sexy and very funny.Was this review helpful to you?
Guaranteed Good Day to Everyone Watching
Wandee Goodday is not only good in BL standards, it's just a really really good romcom overall. It is technically your standard fake dating + FWB to lovers trope, but every aspect of it was done to perfection.Here are the things they have done right:
1. These dudes are just so tender towards each other even without the status of "boyfriends". I think because both of them are well developed characters who are just generally kind, their relationship works out insanely well. Eventhough the timeline is short, they developed such a quick friendship and the process of them falling for each other is so organic. Yoryak doesn't immediately let go of his crush on Taem, which is expected, but I love that he subconsciously kept picking Wandee even when he hasn't fully acknowledged his feelings for him. When he does acknowledge his feelings for Wandee, he instantly just had tunnel vision for Wandee. Although Wandee is more hesitant and he isn't as "all in" as Yak is, he is insanely thoughtful and is committed to making their relationship work.
2. No toxic hypermasculine mess! Idk what's up with these men but Yoryak especially is so emotionally well adjusted?? Yes he has unresolved trauma but both him and Wandee are so good at ensuring that their trauma and issues don't affect other people negatively. Not once did they ever lash out at each other because of their own issues and insecurities which is often the case with other dramas.
3. Found family vibes with the 4 Phadetseuk boys. Yei, Cher, Yak, and Dee all have excellent chemistry with each other and there is just so much love between them. Cher stole the show for me, he is literally the biggest angel and I absolutely love how considerate he is towards everyone.
4. Aspec rep in Kao along with casual LGBTQ rep with other casts!!! I have longed for the day where I see aspec rep on BL series and I have finally gotten to see it. I also love that bisexuality is not demonized in this series - Yoryak definitely is attracted to men and women and there's no "oh I'm only gay for him" type of crap pulled in this series.
5. Great world building! I love that the series does not just revolve around their romance but also their professional goals, aspiration, and family life.
6. The characters are unapologetically horny for each other and it's not just one sided. I love how the sex are kinda silly too and they just really enjoy each other both emotionally and physically.
Ok now onto the not so good:
There's only one really - I just don't get why Yoryak would go to an orthopaedic surgeon for PHYSIOTHERAPY??? girl go get an actual physio. The medical aspect of this drama is so off base that I'm not sure whoever they hired as a medical consultant knows what they're talking about. Also very minor issue with the preachy nature of Kao's aspec identity, I wish that his love journey is more like an onion where you slowly peel the layers and it's not just a monologue of what asexuality is.

Was trying to get into pit babe because they have a new season coming which despite having Pavel and so much promise plot and production value wise could not get into it after trying it again and again multiple times I just don't like the character Babe is with he's just SO FUCKING BORING YE GODS And this came in my feed and is a fun to watch but then I started to get just as bored as I do with any gmmtv show or even pit babe.
The story is pretty much the same one night stand with the guy being the doctor like one of the LM side couples but they took the whole boxing part and made that the main plot and then the whole smut/spice is pretty lacking too. Mostly because they don't go as far idk the actors choice but that doesn't bug me if that was the only issue with this one because there's barely any plot. The side couple was actually decent enough but most of it was so full on cringe I honestly couldn't tell you what the Boxer guy was actually studying.
It's more geared towards people who want something cute and with these particular actor/actors.
Just not for me personally.

Amazing Chemistry!
I am loving the chemistry of Inn and Great as well as the overall chemistry of the cast! The story line with a boxer and a doctor is fresh and exciting for BL and so far we are diving in to get to know our characters with so much sizzling energy! How can you not enjoy this series!? The episodes go by so quickly and honestly I've watched a few again while waiting for the next episode to drop! Awesome series and can't wait for more! On the ropes? Step into the ring (-: One of the top BL's of 2024 so far.Was this review helpful to you?
My type of show
I am admitting that yes. I am enjoying this one. I am a fan of this type of humor and content, so in the end I am a simple person.I'll keep it short. I love what GMM is bringing to the table with this one, especially with the new fresh leads. Initially I looked at the GMM lineup and was oney excited for another FourthGem series.. but damn.. this one is coming in and changing my mind. I wanted a boxing show somewhere in drama land, and I get this.. ontop of that it's a BL- a GOOD BL. Wow, I am here to stay. I will say a lot more when the time comes, but since there is only one episode I am just recommending to as many people as I can through this.
Don't watch if you aren't a fan of se*ual comedy, do watch if you are. Self awareness is all there, budget, acting, visuals, I can't complain yet. So now its a 9/10.

The vaccine propaganda was the final nail in the coffin. The HPV vaccine is one of the most dangerous after the Covid vaccine. That people STILL have no clue ... unbelievable. I saw a young girl's life destroyed because of that vaccine. So before someone is coming for me, maybe you look into it yourself. And don't go to the CDC for information. Pharma is corrupt. Now they want to make more money and advise this vaccine to guys too! You can't make this shit up! The greed knows no limit.
Back to the series: very charismatic actors, very good acting, nice humor, nice OST. But the series is trash. A guy who had plenty of sex in his life, but still didn't kiss anyone? This is a fantasy, only done to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats waiting for the big kiss.
I'm not doing that.
If you think MSP was bad, where we were teased with the kiss, god knows on how many occasions, to the point where it felt like one character didn't want to kiss, then think again. This is worse.
I feel offended in many ways watching this series.
I'm not that thirsty and not that stupid. They should just make those guys kiss and get over it.
I will wait for a real mature series where those two act, and not this kindergarten story. And if someone thinks I'm only interested in sex and kisses - please! This old accusation again? I'm not interested in watching those dumb scenes (will they, won't they kiss!). That's all! SUCH A DAMN WASTE OF MY TIME!
Not wasting anymore of it, that's for sure.

Quando o roteiro não acompanha o elenco, dá nisso...
Demorei pra vir escrever sobre esse BL, mas uma hora tinha que ser. Não era minha intenção escrever textão, mas Wandee Goodday merecia um desabafo. Só terminei por respeito aos atores, porque, olha, tirar emoção de um roteiro tão raso foi arte. Essa série tinha tudo pra ser uma história divertida, adulta, e com uma pegada sex-positive que tanto prometeram e que quase nunca aparece em BL. Os diálogos eram diretos, a energia entre os protagonistas estava lá em cima, e eu realmente achei que seria uma série diferente.E de certa forma foi. Só que não do jeito que eu esperava. A verdade é que a história tem potencial, mas é tão mal aproveitada que às vezes eu ficava pensando se estavam escrevendo o roteiro em tempo real, enquanto gravavam. Um dos problemas é que o drama parece não saber o que quer ser. Fica nesse vai-não-vai, repete situações, e quando começa a construir algo, corta pra uma cena aleatória só pra tentar arrancar risada.
A química entre Great e Inn segurou tudo. Foram eles que me fizeram continuar até o fim, mesmo quando o roteiro começou a perder o rumo. A química dos dois é absurda, natural, e as cenas deles juntos salvam episódios inteiros. Não é exagero dizer que a atuação deles é 10/10 num drama que, no máximo, chega a um 5. Eles conseguiram dar vida a personagens que tinham tudo pra serem rasos. Tanta coisa mal escrita foi suavizada por olhares, pausas e expressões que eles souberam fazer funcionar. Isso me prendeu. Eles atuaram como se tivessem recebido um roteiro melhor do que realmente receberam. Porque, olha… talento eles têm de sobra.
A série parecia que ia explorar sexualidade de forma madura, sem tabu, mas isso durou uns dois episódios no máximo. Depois, os temas só ficaram de enfeite. A assexualidade do Kao foi jogada ali sem nenhum aprofundamento, tipo um “olha como somos inclusivos!” e nunca mais tocaram no assunto. Representatividade vazia é pior que nenhuma, viu?
E aí teve o ciclo infinito: o Wandee se afastando do Yak, sempre com desculpas vagas, sem se abrir de verdade. Episódio após episódio repetindo a mesma coisa: Yak tenta demonstrar carinho, Wandee corta e se fecha. Não tinha desenvolvimento, não tinha comunicação, só um empurra-empurra emocional. Foi cansativo ver esse ciclo repetitivo.
O pior é que o próprio Wandee deixou de fazer sentido. Ele começou super seguro de si, direto, até dando conselho sensato pro Yak sobre o Ter. Mas depois virou alguém completamente diferente, que aceita ir parar na casa do Ter e cai no joguinho dele (???). Do episódio quatro em diante, parece que ele foi escrito por outra pessoa. Inventaram essa de "guardar o primeiro beijo" e transformaram o cara num protagonista que evita toque e vira um muro emocional sem explicação convincente, e depois começa a agir como se toque físico fosse algo inaceitável.
Esse “vou guardar o primeiro beijo” faria sentido se houvesse uma explicação plausível e uma consistência, pois mesmo depois de ter dado o primeiro beijo ele continuou negando o toque do Yak, o que não faz sentindo. O cara que antes era todo consciente virou alguém frio, meio passivo, e que dava carinho só quando bem entendia, ele pega todo carinho, sexo e atenção do Yak quando quer, mas se torna frio na hora de retribuir. O Yak virou só um cachorrinho esperando migalhas de afeto quando o Wandee decidia dar, mas nunca recebia de volta. Doeu ver isso.
Os outros personagens? Também ficaram aquém. O Ter era uma bagunça completa, e não no bom sentido. Eu nem sei se ele era um vilão manipulador ou só um adulto mimado com carência e raiva. E o arco dele com a Taem foi qualquer coisa, jogado só pra parecer redenção. Já a Taem… tinha potencial, mas colocaram ela num triângulo que não levou a lugar nenhum. Desperdiçaram.
Cher e Oyei foram outro caso de desperdício. Tinha coisa pra desenvolver ali, com questões de confiança, dinheiro e inseguranças. Mas resolveram tudo num passe de mágica, e fim. O mesmo vale pro Kao, coitado, que merecia mais do que ser figurante no próprio tema que levantaram com ele.
E algumas cenas então… zero preparo. Aquela agressão do Ohm contra a Taem, que surgiu do nada só pra justificar o Yak chegar atrasado na festa? Preguiça. Esse tipo de artifício forçado pra mover o enredo é desleixo puro. Cena do Yak flagrando o Dee no apartamento do Ter? Forçada. Era óbvio que foi montada só pra gerar drama vazio. Dee não seguiu o próprio conselho que deu ao Yak, típica burrice conveniente. Nenhuma dessas reviravoltas teve construção de verdade. Foi tudo encaixado no grito e vai que cola.
Enfim… foi uma série com uma ideia boa, elenco maravilhoso, e roteiro que tentou muito, mas falhou em entregar. Faltou foco, faltou consequência real pras ações, faltou coerência nos personagens. Faltou emoção genuína. Mas eu assisti tudo. E não me arrependo nenhum pouco. Porque ver esses atores entregando tudo com o que tinham em mãos valeu a pena. Só queria que o roteiro tivesse feito por onde também.

Conceito, coesão e aclamação
Que série maravilhosa.De forma genial conseguiram inserir romance, problemas familiares, dramas, auto aceitação, traumas, muito humor, resiliência e sexo sem vulgaridade
O elenco parece ter sido escolhido a dedo, pois cada personagem combina perfeitamente com seu intérprete, a química dos casais é surreal. Cada um dos protagonistas tem uma história de vida que faz com que o personagem tenha um grau de profundidade, e todas as histórias paralelas conseguem se desenvolver de forma correta, porém não tiram o brilho dos protagonista. Não existiu um vilão de fato, o que estava mais perto disso era o Dr Ter, que mesmo tendo finalizado a série eu não compreendi seus sentimentos, e o vilão de Yak era seu próprio trauma.
Vi algumas críticas sobre a evolução do relacionamento de Yake Wandee, mas se analisarmos em, ambos tinham outras pessoas em seu coração, não tem uma chave que se possa virar e mudar todo o sentimento de uma hora para outra. Então, considero a evolução deles perfeita.
Existiram problemas? Sim, como a falta de ética de alguns profissionais do hospital, a falta de alguns assuntos que foram apenas citados, como a assexualidade (e deveriam ter arrumado um par para o doutor), saúde mental, HIV.
Amei o fato de que existiram várias menções ao título da série, os neons no quarto de Wandee, sempre com frases de efeito, e e não posso esquecer que as famílias e amigos dessa série foram maravilhosos.
Enfim, essa série ganha meu 10, e pretendo voltar assistir o quanto antes.

9/10 Such a Happy and Fun Series: Great Watch
Wandee Goodday is a happy and fun series. I was surprised as to how much I liked and enjoyed this TV show. The fact that they don't take themselves seriously as a show works as a strength for this show, as you can tell that they are just having fun and making a great watch of a tv show. The casting for this show is perfect. Sarin Ronnakiat (Inn Sarin) is just amazing as Dr. Wandee and makes you love his character, he is joyful, thoughtful and a good person. Inn Sarin does justice to the role of Dr. Wandee and even elevates the character if I may say so. Sapol Assawamunkong (Great Sapol) is just so lovable as Yoryak.He plays his character of a wrestler with charm. He is charming, lovable and also very thoughtful. Both actors, Inn and Great have a wonderful chemistry together in this show.
They are both great actors and I look forward to see their future works. Sattabut Laedeke is great as Plakao, Dr.
Wandee's best friend and is a breadth of fresh air in the series. He shines in his role.
Overall this is such a good, heartwarming watch of a TV show. Such a happy show with it's manageable ups and downs. A very cute and fun series all in all.
