Only Friends: Dream On

WHY DID I TORTURE MYSELF WITH THIS

Ah, it's been a long time I've enjoyed GMMTV shows. Sorry to say but I managed to watch this because of Mix only. Mix as Dean was perfect. In fact, I loved Mix. He can act so well and he did a great job bringing this character to life.

First of all, I wouldn’t say I am a die-hard fan of season 1 but I loved that it had drama. It was messy for a reason. This season two made me laugh all through. And not in a good way.

It's like whoever directed this series struggled to come home with something dramatic and messy for this season. The storyline didn't make sense at all.

How can there be so much casting and not single chemistry with people they supposedly had crushes on and I am not talking about fixed pairings now? I want to rip my hair off anytime Jack and raffy come up on my screen. As much as I don't fancy season 1, it wouldn't have fucked things up like this. Everyone was missing everyone. I don't like too many NC scenes but why was everyone not kissing everyone? GMMTV and the curse of fixed pairings. So are you telling me, Mix and Joss couldn't share one kiss on stage? Like hello? Even if we don't get from other non-parings, Romeo and Romeo couldn't share one kiss? Fucking hell. Just say Mix and Joss don't want to kiss. I miss the former cast.

Thank God for Mix. I wouldn't have known I was watching Onlyfriends.


The only couple I loved was RomeRaffy. Let me not get started with JackDean. And there's Arnold and Tua who makes me wonder what they are doing in Only friends? So funny.

JossGawin’s Impactful Performance & A Standout OST – A Memorable GMMTV Series

Only Friends” and its sequel “Dream On” deliver an intense, character-driven story that stays with you long after the final episode. One of the strongest elements is definitely the OST, especially “No One Can” by Gawin Caskey. The song captures the emotional tension of the series perfectly — raw, haunting, and incredibly memorable. It fits the tone of the story so well that it feels like an extension of the characters’ inner worlds.
I also want to highlight the performances of Joss Wayar and Gawin Caskey. Their chemistry and acting are genuinely impactful. Both portray complicated emotions with so much depth, especially in the more emotional and confrontational scenes. They bring their characters to life in a way that feels real and believable — you can truly feel their struggles, vulnerabilities, and connections.
Overall, this series stands out because of its bold storytelling, powerful OST, and the strong performances from the cast, especially JossGawin. If you enjoy relationship-focused dramas with great acting and memorable music, this is absolutely worth watching.

The Beginning of ArnoldTua’s Dangerous Game

ArnoldTua is honestly one of those pairings that feels natural rather than forced. Their chemistry doesn’t scream for attention — it slowly pulls you in. Arnold brings this soft, slightly awkward sincerity that makes him so easy to root for, while Tua adds depth and quiet strength that balances everything beautifully.
I know we didn’t get many scenes of them in Episode 1, but that just makes me even more eager to see how their story unfolds. There’s so much potential in their dynamic. And I’m especially curious to see how cunning Tua is going to slowly lure Arnold — the tension, the mind games, the subtle moves… it’s going to be so good. 🥳

Dreaming of the first OF

As a BL connisuer, I felt like I had to watch this one so I did. You should too, honestly, but don't expect the same provocative chaotic splendor that made the first one so delicious.

Let me start by thanking Timmy, Boston, and Nick. These are the characters who gave me the most satisfaction during the largely unnecessary drama that ensued throughout OFDO.

Timmy was the voice of reason. I commend you, sir.

Boston was somewhat the old Boston but largely the new Boston. A little predictable but not devastatingly so. That said his chaos agent role in OF (sometimes extreme and heartless, but also believable) was what drove that story. That piece was missing here, and no other character really stepped into the void. (Sorry Raffy.)

Boston and Nick gave me one of the only moments in OFDO where I felt deeply affected by the story. Their brief exchange really got me right in the feels. Despite my luke warm response to this one, I would absolutely tune in to OF3 to see those two work their stuff out, whatever that might look like.

I really wanted to like the rest of this, but the conflicts were a little too dumb for my taste. I mean, come on, real hurtful betrayals went down in OF! There were real issues to sort out. This stuff felt petty and forced in comparison. I was mad at almost every character, and not for bad behavior, but for stupidly extreme responses that were unwarranted by the situation.

The couple that I enjoyed the most was Rome and Raffy. Their drama felt real and their responses were earned reactions to trifling behavior. But even that had moments where one or the other of them was doing dumb stuff that was needlessly cruel to the other person, made them look like a fool (especially Rome), or both. Even still, it felt more relatable.

This is probably gonna be unpopular, but Jack is a jackass. I was over him early on. No amount of warm fuzzies at the end could fix that for me.

And Tua and Arnold had way too many cringe moments. Plus they look like grown men pretending to be boys. Something about their story in particular made that stick out for me even more than the others. Perhaps its because in reality JossGawin are sexy AF, especially Joss and his salted caramel lollipop looking ass.

And are we just gonna forget about Pete and his literal crimes!? Where's the money, man?

At the end of the day, I think it was the writing and directing that left me underwhelmed, although there were some acting fails as well.
