Perfect 10 Liners

Overall good

Overall is good, but There are several drawbacks to be aware of.

ArcArm - overall is good, but in the episode 8 made me little confuse, at the end of episode 7 they already confess to each other, i thought they already together but the jealousy of arm in episode 8 1/4 looks arm is still not confessing, and still not know the feeling of arc.

Yothagun - for me it's the most problem here, not about the chemistry between perth and santa, about the storyline of yothagun, and the character of Yotha. I think they want to make a story about Yotha being a red flag to become green flag whipped to Gun, but there is no character development from red flag to green flag, for me it's better faifagun than yothagun.

FaifaWine - overall is good, but faifa problem with his family, especially with his mother, is not very easy to solve.

Yotha-Faifa family is complicated, it should highlight more about how they solve their family problems.

the last, it's too many nc scene, this is not only in this series, but in a lot of series, when arcarm stories, it's already good not much nc series, but when enter to yothagun, it's more and more. If like only friends, it's okay a lot of nc scenes, because that's the genre.

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.

I've rewatched this series 17 times!

I absolutely loved this series! I’m usually not a fan of shows with multiple couples because, in my opinion, it often means that none of the relationships are explored deeply enough. But *Perfect 10 Liners* really surprised me in the best way.
Not only did it manage to keep me emotionally invested, but it also became a great way for me to discover new BL couples. I especially enjoyed getting to know PerthSanta and JuniorMark, they really caught my attention.
I had already followed some of ForceBook’s previous projects, so it was nice to see them again, but this series made me appreciate a wider range of pairings and performances. Overall, it turned out to be a much more engaging and satisfying experience than I expected.

The Almost Perfect Rom-Com Show

I have a lot of great words for this show. Some bad. I've rewatched it in full probably three times, but rewatched parts/certain stories more. I love how even though we had three 'set' story lines, we still saw all three couples evenly throughout the whole series. Let me get down and dirty with this. I broke them into three stories and graded each one. And more spoilers for story 2 and 3, but I tried to keep it vague.

Story 1: ArcArm (ForceBook) - 9/10
A perfect story to 'start' us on. Not a lot of angst, but it had enough to ease watchers into it. Had great comedic timing and the friend group was hilarious. Book really dove into his character and was hilarious. I laughed a lot at his lines. Maybe a bit of a stretch, but Force could've shown a biiit more facial emotion in some scenes, but I found it fitting for his character. And once we got more into the series, the character changed to be more relaxed, and we saw more emotion, so I didn't really mind. Though his 'jealousy' arc was hilarious and he pulled that part off very well.

I'd say the only big downside was the side couple, PondSand. This might be more my opinion, but I feel like I couldn't connect with Marc's emotions at all while Poon was doing all the hard work for both of them. They seemed unbalanced in their scenes, and their time together seemed either too rushed or too slow. (I did watch this before their separation as a pairing, but once they announced it, I was not surprised. They just didn't seem to connect well in my opinion.) I do appreciate that it gave us a break from the main couple and also provided more comedy for JJ. Having JJ as Po was just *chef's kiss* perfection! He made me laugh so much.


Story 2: YothaGun (PerthSanta) - 6/10
So, for starters, this was their first story as a pair. I could not tell for the life of me! Honestly, GMMTV did wonders adding Santa in the mix because I could not see anyone else be Gun. He did an amazing job. That being said, I do not like how their story ended. I feel like the slow burn was really good. We saw Yotha slowly understand his feelings. But I have a major bone to pick with this couple. First, they sped through Gun's trauma way too fast. I feel like if they had better wording, I'd give it a pass. But you cannot be cured of trauma in one day... If they said something like 'it helped me to (major spoiler here), and I think it will help me further on,' I would feel way better. Also, "I don't know" is NOT a yes!. That is not consent! Major points deducted because of this!
- Though as the story progresses, I do find it adorable how much Yotha changed with his love for Gun. So, I added some points for cuteness -

Now, the side couple, KlaoWarich. Their story had the same issue as story one, where there just didn't seem to be enough time for them. But they did pretty well with the timing. The back and forth was a bit repetitive, but I also understand. AouBoom are always a given for side couples because they nail their chemistry. (can't wait for them to show what they can do in their first main pairing show!) That being said, having the end of the series was a bit of a stretch in my opinion. The flip of character seemed a stretch too. Though I can understand some people do change like that (*cough*Yotha*cough*), so it is a bit forgivable. I'd take their side story over PondSand.


Story 3: FaifaWine (JuniorMark) - 10/10
I will not lie, this is my favorite story. My reason? Did you WATCH the series?! They were dating since story one, and they were just too blind to see. This was their second paired series, so I could tell these two felt more comfortable with each other. Junior did amazing as Faifa. I could write a whole essay about his acting. The constant tiredness and disappointment he showed was so heartbreaking. Mark improved since his role in Cherry Magic, but still had a scene here or there that was off, but very minor. Broken souls mending together in love. Very well done story. I rewatch their story the most because of how giddy it makes me feel.

Their 'side couples' were both the previous couples. I thought that was a cute way to keep watchers informed about how the previous pairings were doing, as well as keeping the timeline feel real. Having Arc be away made way for Arm to have a reason to ask Wine to come to the beach. Showing the progression of YothaGun with Faifa (like them doing the star show? or whatever it was called) and having 'brotherly' love shown. Only complaint was that we had a little bit too much catching up in one of the episodes. I think one half of an episode was us catching up with the two couples and also PondSand randomly. So it broke us away from FaifaWine and then threw us right back in. Buuuut I do like that they stayed consistent with the timeline so that it felt like actual time passed.

- Also, some minor points were taken off because Yotha and Fai's mom's story did not make any sense to me but was needed for story 3 more than story 2 -

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.

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.
