the only 10/10 i will ever give
i have no idea what they put into this show, but it is one of the best ones I've ever watched in terms of story and music. i've seen idol-centered dramas that make a new group with random actors, but using an existing group was a much better decision. LYKN slayed, they are such good actors and performers and conveyed all the important emotions.speaking of emotions, william's acting is absolutely insane considering this is one of his first projects. the amount of times i've cried during this show because of how raw his emotions felt. it didn't feel like acting because it felt way too real. it's hard to explain in words, but it felt more like he was taking the hidden struggles of everyone in the entertainment industry and projecting it further than anyone could have ever imagined.
the letter scene destroyed me. that's all, please watch this show you will not regret it!!

ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat
The acting is also WOW. I mean I expected Est to be good (he’s been a favorite for a while now) but William? He completely caught me off guard. His portrayal of Thame is so vulnerable and at the same time, you can’t take your eyes off him. Is there anything this man can’t do? And don’t even get me started on their chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
So far my best series watched
It's a really heartwarming and wholesome series. The actors really portrayed the characters well. The storyline was flowing without any bugs and also made sense. The casting were really good too! Having the determination to find a real boy group LYKN to join the series is something to praise for. Good job William, Est, LYKN and the other crew members! Can't wait for the next 9 episodes to be aired.Was this review helpful to you?
Simply show of the year
The story, the acting, the production, the cinematography, lykn, williamest's chemistry, everything about this show is a perfect 10/10 and i really hope that despite the lack of promotion from GMMTV this show will be able to be successful and seen by many because, trust me, it really is worth the watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Series that makes Heart skips your Beat
ThamePo- Heart that skips a beat It's a series that everyone must watch, storyline, character portrait by actors on point, Best Ost, and others. PO character played by Est Supha it's his 1st time lead and emotion, understanding, and maturity he showed in series is best and on point. LYKN T-pop boys this is their debut series as a lead, and they showed and proved they are here to stay. I would strongly suggest everyone to watch this series and i guarantee you will fall in love with this series and the actorsWas this review helpful to you?

Best BL series of all time
This may sound exaggerated, but I’m serious. This is everything I’ve ever asked for and more.Story: Literally the Perfect Script
This series delivers one of the most well-developed romance plotline I've ever seen in any series. The relationship has the perfect pacing - no one moving their faces too close for no reason, no one kissing before it's clear how they feel about each other. Many people call it slow burn, but I think it's a very sensible pacing and should just become a new standard of romance dramas.
But there's so much more to the story than the romance plotline. There's the friendship plotline between the members of Mars. There are many nuances explorations of idol industry, both from the perspectives of the company and the fans, and it shows all the different ways these factors can affect the idols. But it doesn't stop there. This story expands to an introspection about what everyone - ordinary people or idols - wants out of life, where our self-worth lies, and how much our life is dictated by others' expectations and definition of success. What it does better than any idol-related stories I've seen is how it portrays these nationally famous idols as ordinary people and make their struggles so understandable and relatable. There are many deep discussion and heart-wrenching dialogues in this story that resonates so strongly with me. And every time I rewatch each episode, I discover more and more nuances between the lines.
So many of the conflicts in the story are rooted in the complex characterization, which makes everything so grounded and coherent. Everything flows logically, at least if you watch it closely enough. Discovering new things about each character - both the main and supporting cast - is one of the main joys when watching this story. So, I'm not going to say much about what each character is like, other than that, if you make up your mind about what any characters are like the first time you meet them, your conclusion is definitely wrong. They will reveal new information that backlights all your previous perspectives on any characters, again and again, which is another proof of how genius the script is.
Finally, regarding the story, I just want to say that this story is very gentle and kind. You won't get a revenge plot or villains getting slapped in the face. This story is about holding tight to love and finding peace in your life. If that's the vibe you're looking for, you will definitely love this series.

Acting/Cast: The script waits for the cast and the cast waits for the script
LYKN members and Est are the perfect cast for the 6 main roles. Their acting goes above and beyond all my expectations. No matter what you expect from an idol group, acting for the first time, and a swimmer, who never had any main roles before, they will definitely surpass your imagination.
William and Est, in particular, have such an electric chemistry even in a scene where they just stand apart, having conversations. Their romantic scenes make my toes curl, squeal into my pillows, and do somersaults around my house. Their drama scenes are truly exceptional, and you can witness this for yourself from EP1. Their kiss/sex scenes are just phenomenal - one of the best I've ever seen in any BL series. If they don't have another series together, I will riot. They are perfect for their characters and as acting partners.
------------------------------------------------------
Music: An unskippable album
As a series about an idol group, there are over 10 original songs in the series. They are all amazing. The songs for Mars are especially great in that they make so much sense for the group's story and characters. The connection between the story and the song makes you believe that these are really the songs that led the group to different highs and lows in their career. LYKN doesn't disappoint with their vocal and dance performance. William is especially reliable and attractive in any scenes where he has to sing and play guitar live. Est also holds his own with a great solo track. Other than this, I also love the other BGMs in the story, including the instrumentals and English songs, which capture the mood of each scene perfectly.
------------------------------------------------------
Rewatch value: INFINITY
As I mentioned earlier, every time I rewatch each episode (while waiting for the next one to come out), I see new meanings in the script, new subtexts in the dialogues, new ways in which the acting and cinematography communicate the characterization and message of the story. It's always a novel experience, even if it's your 10th time watching.
------------------------------------------------------
There isn't score for cinematography in the review, but if there's one, this series will get an 11/10. This series has, hands down, the best cinematography of any Thai series I've ever seen. It's ridiculously pretty - you can pause at any second, and it will look pretty - distracting you from the story and acting. I know I've already used the word "perfect" one too many time to describe this series, but the cinematography is also, quite literally, perfect.

Basic opinion...
The story is very good but I think 'Thame' the artist playing the character did not give out the expected acting skills you'd wish for.Secondly, the characters didn't seem to have a growing love story... I did like a few memebers in the cast but if a male lead lets you down you feel like you've wasted your time over the series.
WILL YOU MISS OUT ON LIFE IF YOU DON'T WATCH THIS- Nah!, there are better ones out there

Fantastic Journey
I'm going to fly higher! #ThamePoSeries era has officially come to an end!This series and its amazing characters have deeply touched my heart, leaving a lasting impact with each beautifully crafted episode. It taught me to chase my dreams fiercely and cherish my loved one profoundly. Huge congratulations and heartfelt gratitude to the incredible cast— #williamjkp, #est_rvp, #hongshihoshi, #nnutdan, #tuichayatorn, and #legorapeepong—for pouring your hearts into bringing this beloved story to life.
Episode 12, particularly the latter scene, "It's about saving ourselves from this world," moved me profoundly. The emotions, chemistry, and authenticity truly spoke louder than words. This series became my comfort, my Friday night joy, and it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Some dramas are more than stories; they're homes we live in. ThamePo felt like exactly that—warm, comforting, filled with laughter, tears, and genuine emotion. Yes, the storyline may have felt familiar and predictable at times, but the execution was refreshingly heartfelt and captivating.
The gentle, subtle chemistry between Thame and Po became the very heart of the show. Their quiet moments and genuine affection felt so natural and relatable, speaking volumes without saying much at all. Watching Thame look at Po with pure warmth was an experience itself, proving love is indeed found in the quietest gestures.
The Mars group's friendship also deeply resonated. Amidst tension and drama, their bond evolved into genuine camaraderie and understanding, perfectly capturing friendship's essence. The group's unity and support brought warmth and authenticity to every episode.
I appreciated the series tackling idol-fan dynamics, especially Pepper's storyline, though I wished it explored the complexities deeper. Nonetheless, addressing such sensitive topics added to the series' meaningfulness.
The music, driven by the talented LYKN members, provided another delightful layer. Energetic, catchy, and genuine, it brought authenticity and heightened the show's overall charm.
Acting performances were consistently strong. William as Thame was exceptional, especially considering this was his debut! Est as Po delivered a convincingly heartfelt performance. Their chemistry was simply undeniable. Kudos to the rest of the LYKN members for rounding out the cast with authenticity and charm.
ThamePo Series was an absolute joy and comfort. If you're seeking something heartwarming, emotional, and beautifully crafted, this drama is wholeheartedly recommended!
Thank you, ThamePo gang! Can't wait for your future projects! 🌟❤️

A missed
Honestly, it's well-acted, the plot is simple, and the chemistry between Thame and Po is definitely there. They're cute together.However, the show didn’t really manage to develop the themes it wanted to explore. Everything felt a bit superficial to me in the way those topics were approached.
I also found Est's acting a bit stiff — I hope he’ll feel more comfortable in future roles.
As for GMMTV, they didn’t even try to hide the fact that the show was also a way to promote the boy group — and I actually liked that. I love that they didn’t go for the whole “ship the members together” marketing strategy. That never ends well, so honestly, smart move.

This was so interesting
I loved Thame so much. He is literally my dream person. William did amazing in this role. I also think all of LYKN did great! My only issue is that I feel like Est was too emotionless. I know lots of people say that he was great at showing emotions through his eyes and all that, but I just didn’t feel it. I wish his character had more to say and would give better reactions. by his actions I would have never guess that he was someone who was older and has been in a relationship before. Other than that, I loved the series!Was this review helpful to you?
