Perfect 10 Liners

Why is this show so well rated??

GMM strikes again with a show that is dragged out with absolutely nothing happening except couples awkwardly getting together and made up drama popping up without explanation. My sister told me this GMM issue might be due to them airing the show before it's finished and scrambling to wrap it up, but if that's the case, why not just wait to finish the show cleanly rather than fumbling the whole thing? This would explain why I can normally watch around 2 episodes of a show, before quickly losing interest.

I started watching this for ForceBook and can only say that their chemistry is one of the few things that seems authentic in this, despite the fact that they are infinitely hotter as a couple in Only Friends. AouBoom were also great in this, actually believable as a couple, but barely had any screen time (I'll be watching the Only Friends part 2 to see them).

Otherwise, there is literally nothing happening in this show. PerthSanta were so cringe throughout their entire story line, and are one of the main reasons I dropped this show. I can assume Perth is a decent actor and Santa was pretty good in My Only 12%, so this must've been an issue with the hollow dialogue and lack of chemistry between the two actors. Even watching this at 1.5x speed, it's still not fast enough to move the story along. Please, someone help us get through all of this dialogue! They talk so much in this show without actually saying anything of substance that it doesn't even matter if you miss half of what they say. And if I have to watch another show with engineers, architects, whatever, it's gotta have something going for it other than yay they're in school and half the cast has a crush and the other half!

PerthSanta is the match made in heaven ?

ARC 1 (Ep 1-8) | ForceBook: Unfortunately this arc didn't convince me. Book's acting falls flat, and their chemistry lacks spark. The one highlight is their well-executed intimate scene—the first across all their series. The storyline itself is basic, clearly banking on their fame rather than substance. Characters lack depth and backstory. As for MarcPoon as the secondary couple, I simply can't connect with them—zero chemistry and neither strikes me as compelling. 7/10

ARC 2 (Ep 9-16) | PerthSanta: How do I even explain how much I adored this arc? PerthSanta's chemistry is electric, and both are absolutely adorable. The storyline touches on family and heartbreak through Yotha's character with genuine emotion. Both actors mastered their respective roles, completely winning me over. AouBoom as the secondary couple once again prove their excellence—GMMTV desperately needs to give them lead roles as they truly deserve it! 8/10

ARC 3 (Ep 17-24) | JuniorMarc: Still airing, this final arc continues the following year. I'm struggling with this pairing which feels mismatched. Junior consistently delivers strong performances with surprising character depth, while Marc fails to properly convey his character's intentions, leaving viewers confused. Thankfully, PerthSanta maintain significant screen time, giving me reason to continue watching. The story appears to be developing more depth than initially apparent. Tentatively 7/10

I don’t get it

I just had to chime in because although I understand people not liking the baby-ish acting of Santa and Book, I don’t see why everyone predictably rated the last six episodes so high. I was bored out of my mind, and honestly Junior and Mark are probably the least attractive BL couple I’ve ever seen. Perth was incredible and practically carried the entire thing. Junior is def the second best actor but there’s just something I don’t like about him. Honestly it should’ve ended at 16 episodes or just been cut down to three episodes per couple or something. I have a Thai BL master list and it was pretty far up there until the last third of it. Maybe I was just fatigued by that point, who knows.

Yes it is way too long and as paint-by-numbers , polished, and predictable as GMMTV gets, but I still think it’s worth it. If you are a fan of any of the actors or in a BL draught, give it a go.

Wow MarkJunior stole the show!

This is not my favourite college BL but with 24 episodes, it will scratch any BL itch. 

The series is anchored by ForceBook, but also dedicates a significant chunk of time to two other main couples: PerthSanta and MarkJunior. The love story of these three couples are spread across the 24 episodes in three distinct 'eras' that overlap a little with each other.

ForceBook is not my favourite couple and they’ve had a few hits and misses (my favourite so far is actually in Peaceful Property where they were a side couple), but I think Perfect 10 Liners is probably one of their better ones.

As for PerthSanta, the chemistry of this pair works surprisingly well – it’s the first time we’re seeing them on-screen, but this couple definitely has loads of potential. Personally, I didn’t really like Perth’s character, Yotha. I thought he was a little problematic and had red flag behaviours. Putting all these aside, I think Perth and Santa have really good chemistry. I think they could really shine if given a good storyline.

But I am 100000% sold on MarkJunior rn. I thought Wine and Faifah were excellently-constructed characters with a romantic development that made a whole lot of sense – their story was *IT* for me. I was rooting for this couple the entire way, they were so cute asfjkl;aspek.

Average

Overall the series was average for me, it did not give me something really special but still I liked to watch it every Sunday.
The found family thing and the bond between the characters was the greatest part.
The worst thing about the series was the director I don’t thing he handled things properly some parts were just a mess and there were a lot of repetitive scenes which was frustrating for people who are watching and expecting better every episode. He actually could have done better.

The thing I liked the most about this series was the humour especially in ArcArm’s episodes they were the most fun for me since the overall storyline is not that good.
And the important thing to me I want to talk about is the change they’ve made from the book in the series,
I’m specifically talking about ArkArm’s since I have read only their book and enjoyed reading it very much.
They did not change Arm’s character which was good he was funny and cute in both the book and series but Arc’s character was changed very much he was MORE fierce in the book and kinda red flag at first but instead they changed him to be a normal character which I didn’t not like that much I found him more unique in the book.
Also all the debt thing between Arm and Arc and Arm being constantly in debt for Arc despite his name meaning ‘Anon with no dept’, they did not pay attention for that thing in the series plus him being admin in engineer cute boy page and how Arc finds out and his reaction which are the core for ArcArm’s story, the things that really weakened ArcArm’s storyline which are why I did not like the changes so the book was better for me.
But I think ForceBook did a great job in bringing these characters into life and conveying their emotions the relationship between them was nearly perfect.

perfect 10 liners was absolutely a TEN.

so to be completely honest here, i only wanted to watch this show for perthsanta. i have been so obsessed with both of them for like a year, and i have wanted to watch this one since it released, but i pushed it off until late 2025. with that being said, perthsanta were not the only great thing about this show. the show's name fits so well, because honestly, i haven't had this much fun watching a thai bl in a little bit. i'll break up my review into 3 different parts, each part focusing on a different main couple.

1. arc + arm (forcebook) episodes 1-8
im not always the BIGGEST forcebook fan. i enjoyed them in only friends and in a boss and a babe, but they never seemed like anything special. however, they were absolutely ADORABLE in this show like genuinely oh my god. arm is the perfect character for book like seriously he was so good at this role it was so fun. force did a great job as arc as well. i feel like these characters resemble their actors very well, so nothing felt awkward or weird. i will admit their story was the most cliche of the three, but i didn't even care. yes arc being a jerk to arm because he liked him was kinda annoying at first but you have to get past the first few episodes before you see him being sweet like UGHHHHHHH they were so cute. even after their main episodes were done, i would get so excited when they would show up later on in their cute little scenes. i love arcarm so much, i would say they were the weakest couple of the three, but that is all due to the story. forcebook were great, their chemistry is always rock solid, and their episodes were a great way to get acclimated to the overarching story. however, if you find yourself getting bored during their episodes, just skip to episode 9, it'll pick up with yothagun and you honestly won't miss THAT much. rating of these episodes: 8.5/10.

2. yotha + gun (perthsanta) episodes 9-16
okay so, yeah, I LOVED THIS ARC SO FUCKING MUCH OASDFNDJFA;DFEO FJA WWEFINREIE i love perthsanta they are so freaking cute like i could go on for ages i love them so much they are sososososososoos dear to me. my love for perthsanta might make me a bit biased, but i think its safe to say these two crushed it here. perth seems to play the same character in every show, and its no exception here. yotha reminds me a lot of chopper from never let me go, and i also feel like hes similar to tawan from me and thee (ik me and thee is newer but still) so i think that perth is very good at roles like this, and by "roles like this" i mean roles of the reserved, kind-of-an-asshole-but-not-with-the-boy-he-likes type of role. yotha was absolutely an asshole to literally everyone else in the entire WORLD besides gun, but i thought his feelings for gun seemed really genuine and sweet. the word "beagle" still makes me wanna cry sometimes and i still say "don't have nightmares" whenever someone tells me goodnight like the yotha effect is REAL. santa also did a really fantastic job playing gun. honestly, gun was such a ray of sunshine and every time he would come on screen i wanted to giggle like a middle school girl he is just SO CUTE. unlike a lot of overly nice and cute bl characters i never got annoyed with gun. he wasn't dumb, and i think his nightmare trauma stuff is actually pretty interesting. i do have a few complaints about this arc tho.. (lowk really big spoiler coming up) WHY DID YOTHA KISS WA AT THE BAR THAT ONE TIME LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WAS UP WITH THAT??? i'll be honest like i didn't really care much for aouboom's characters (boom was wa but lowkey i forget what aou's character was named) but oh my god when i tell you i threw my laptop across my bed when i saw yotha kiss wa like i MEAN it. i was SO mad i was getting war flashbacks to wu so wei watching chi cheng kiss wang shuo in that one scene from revenged love like i was ENRAGED. idk if i missed something, but that scene had like no reason for happening. both of them liked other people (wa had a fucking BOYFRIEND for gods sake) so like i was pissed bc it felt so forced. also gun was mad for maybe like ONE episode and then he was fine, and honestly yotha's apology was so booty cheeks like come on man you LIKE him right??? idk that felt weird, but other than that they were super cute. actually wait i also didn't like how yotha said "not saying anything means yes" that one time like EWEWEWWEWEWEW #consentishotassaultisnot i know gun was insinuating yes but that line icked me out so bad like yotha please you're so cute 90% of the time don't mess this up!!! my last critique of this arc is that i just kinda dont give a shit about yotha and faifa's mommy issues. sorry not sorry but mommy issues in bls bore the crap out of me, so i lowkey skipped like every scene with the mom, also their shit ass mom is played by the same actress who played gun's (fourth's) absolutely GOATED mom in my school president so i just couldn't take it seriously because that actress will always be gun's mom from msp and she will always be the best mom ever. but other than those three complaints, this arc was my absolute fav. not only do i love perthsanta, i also love the depth of the story. the introduction of aouboom's characters and how aou's character was like a dickwad was pretty fun, tho seeing aou playing that role after seeing him play tan in we are was SUCH whiplash like holy switchup!! i will touch on aouboom's characters later, but now i want to discuss the final arc. rating of these episodes: 10/10.

3. faifa + wine (juniormark) episodes 17-24
i was expecting this arc to be my least favorite because juniormark were the only actors in the show that i hadn't seen much of before, but holy hell i was SO wrong. i want to start off by saying i am SO glad that someone in the show was finally like "wait you all like dudes and thats like.. normal?" wine was so real for that. i loved wine so much more than i ever expected, he was the only normal one in this show i swear. his confession to faifa in the bathroom that he likes guys lowkey made me cry my eyes out and not JUST bc it reminds me a lot of me but also because mark played that scene so well it felt so fucking real. like i felt like wine was going through insane emotional turmoil and i felt for him so hard. faifa was also the biggest sweetie pie of all time he was SO CUTE SFSDFSDLKFJSDKFJDKLFJSLKDFJ oh my god wine you are so lucky. like faifa might be the biggest green flag i've ever seen in a bl ever period point blank (maybe besides kim from boys in love aka my other baby) but like faifa was so cute and fluffy and soft and baby like im sorry i just love this boy so much these two were so cute together. i do feel like their episodes could drag on a little bit, but every moment with faifawine was a happy one, so i wasn't complaining. what did kinda piss me off was how much screentime klao and wa took away from faifa and wine like.. im glad i got to see my aouboom but AT WHAT COST. just give them a spinoff at this point like!! anyways, i really enjoyed this arc as well, and i think that these were the fluffiest episodes of the whole show. rating for thse episodes: 9.5/10.

quick little discussion on klao and wa!!
soooooo i love aouboom like sosososososososo much but im being so honest when i saw i did not give a flying fuck aboout klao and wa the entire show. i mean, klao pissed me off a LOT ( which is sad bc aou is one of my fav actors ever but whatever) and wa also kinda annoyed me. i get that they connect a lot to yotha's past but honestly i just did not care like im sorry. i guess i was happy when they got engaged but like.. i would've prefered arcarm get married or smth like these two didnt even matter until halfway through the show anyways!

to conclude, i want to say that even tho it may sound like i have a lot of negatives to say, those negatives are very minor and do not impact the show very much at all. this show is 24 episodes and i watched it in the span of like 3-4 days DURING FINALS WEEK so yeah its safe to say i was really obsessed with it. i had so much fun with every single arc, every single story line, and all my complaints are just nitpicks so.. yeah! if you made it this far: PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW OH MY GOD!!!! its simple, easy to digest, and fun. i had a blast, and you def will too!!

found family❤️

I’ve been so busy lately that I stepped away from the BL world for almost a year. I only watched a few series here and there and wasn't nearly as active as I used to be and I honestly regret it so much! I really wish I had been part of the fandom while Perfect 10 Liners was airing, especially for the debut of PerthSanta.
They are one of my favorite discoveries, and I truly don't understand all the hate they’ve been getting. I'm saying this as someone who was shocked and saddened by the end of PerthChimon but I feel like Perth and Santa just complement each other perfectly. You can tell they’ve really found their spark; the chemistry and affection are so visible! If you hate them, you hate me too!
After finally going over my bl slupm, I can say this series made me feel at home for the first time in a long while. I started watching BL in 2022, and while I don’t think any year will ever top that one, this show is one of the few that gives me a genuine sense of comfort.
I loved every single couple:
• ForceBook: As the first pairing, they were stunning. I’ve followed them for a long time now and they never disappoint.
• AouBoom: They deserve a special shout-out! They felt so real the entire time. I’m dying for their own lead series to finally come out—they truly deserve it!
• JuniorMark: They are a beautiful couple too, though I’ll admit I struggled a bit to focus on their storyline. I was so completely hooked on PerthSanta that I couldn't think of anything else! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more JuniorMark projects in the future.
Even though it’s a simple series with straightforward, everyday stories, it truly made me feel good. Sometimes simplicity is exactly what you need to heal.

Honestly, I just wanted to watch this. A new BL was coming out with Thamepo and there was a book and force, so I thought why not watch it. Plus, it was one of my first BLs with Perth and Santa, so I was glad I finally got around to it and voila, I fell in love with it extremely. At first, I was rather bored and was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy it and would eventually drop it. But I have absolutely no idea what exactly happened, but after episode 5 I couldn't take my eyes off it and then the thought of finishing it hurt me. The actors did a great job, I really liked that I have a story for each ship and when we finish the stories of the older couples, we go "back" to the beginning to continue with the current ship. It's really a great BL that will make you forget about boredom and really enjoy it. But as I said, it's a bit boring at the beginning, but you can survive it, after all, it's mainly about introducing all the characters and then it starts to take off XD. So definitely give it a chance!

I thought it would be fluff – ended up adoring it!

Isn’t it a great feeling when you assume a show will just be a filler until you find your next great watch and it ends up going on your favourite list?

10 perfect liners was such a surprise – I chose to watch it because I’d heard good things about Perth and Santa’s pairing, and I wasn’t disappointed! All the couples held their weight and I enjoyed each storyline but Yotha/Gun were my favorite couple, their plot had all the emotional range that made me binge episode after episode. Gun was a convincing actor when he cried; I truly felt his pain. And how about his smile? It could light up a room!

I loved how the show was split up into three couples but didn’t feel like three separate shows. Then they sprinkled in support couples (Auo and Boom were so good in every scene they appeared in)

Definitely a show I will circle back to and re-watch one day.
