Melody of Secrets

Best mysteryXromance series

I overall enjoyed every second of this series and can’t wait for more eps to air
The directing and storytelling is top notch you can never guess what’s about to happen next and I love it when a series keeps me at the edge of my seat without being cliché
Main actors Force and Book did a great job with how they portrayed the characters and handled the emotional scenes so perfectly
Also I’m so happy to have Boun, Jan and Ployphach as support roles bc they’re such amazing actors (srsly so gooood that I don’t trust any of their characters in the show 🤣)

Confused and Not Having Fun

I told myself this year that I would stop forcing myself to continue shows that don’t resonate with me in the slightest, and Melody of Secrets is exactly that kind of series. It’s confusing, perplexing, and having to constantly rewatch scenes just to figure out what on earth is happening is not fun. A solid -1/10 experience for me.

Let’s Dive In.

I wanted to like this because I genuinely enjoy ForceBook as a duo, but this was exhausting. If you love theorizing, interpreting, and piecing together a puzzle where nothing is immediately clear, this might be your show. For me, though, I need a plot that makes sense, preferably sooner rather than later. Surrealism and mystery are fine, but they still need internal logic, and this series simply doesn’t have it.

The editing is especially rough. One moment we’re in one location, the next we’ve jumped somewhere else entirely. Characters change clothes and then revert back in the very next scene. It’s disorienting in a way that feels careless rather than intentional, and I don’t have the patience to keep rewinding just to understand basic continuity.

ForceBook also feel oddly forced here. The chemistry isn’t landing, everything feels a bit awkward, and Force is once again stuck in the “stoic man with one facial expression” role. I found myself watching just for the sake of finishing, and I’ve decided I’m not doing another year of regret-watching.

Ratings:

Story: 3/10 - Far too disorienting, and I don’t enjoy being confused for confusion’s sake. Also, why didn’t they cast actual teenagers for the younger versions? I’m sorry, but you cannot convince me that Force, Book, or Junior pass as teens.

Acting: 7/10 - Not terrible, but not impressive either. No one truly stood out.

Music: 5/10 - Honestly? I don’t remember it.

Recommendation Value: 2/10 - Maybe if your love for ForceBook is unshakable, or if you’re craving unnecessary complications in your life. For me, I do not (and yes, thank you Force for taking your shirt off several times, but that alone cannot keep me here).

I Dropped It

I see a lot of people in the comments so eager to defend their favs they can't even tolerate people not enjoying this.
So let me tell you right now before you use your predetermined defense to ignore my points that I LOVE a good mystery. I loved the 1st half of DFF, all the Knives Out films, am thoroughly enjoying GBYFD and also sorta intrigued by DYTD; I watch murder mysteries and documentaries all the time, one of my all time favourite series is The Haunting (both Hill House and Bly Manor).
The problem with Melody of Secrets? The mystery simply hasn't proven itself to be good.
Nor did anything else, really.
The chemistry is non-existing, the plot doesn't move one bit, the characters barely even work at their jobs. They keep trynna sell you confusion but what they're selling you is actually frustration because nothing happens, nothing changes, nothing moves.
And then after this lukewarm still water 3 episodes they try to get you with a predictable plot twist and a hand full of nothing. How am I supposed to say it's good? Honestly? It sucks. That's it. It just sucks.

Melody Of Secrets – Mid-series Review (up to Episode 7)

By Episode 7, Melody Of Secrets has clearly revealed what kind of story it wants to be.

At its core, this is not a romance that uses mystery as decoration, but a psychological thriller where memory, family, and love are deeply entangled.
Each episode peels back another layer, and instead of offering comfort, the drama steadily increases emotional tension.

What stands out most is how the story treats “truth.”
Revelations do not bring relief; they bring consequences.
Family bonds, especially those shaped by control and distorted love, feel heavy rather than protective, and the past refuses to stay buried without hurting someone in the present.

The romantic relationship develops quietly alongside the mystery, not as an escape from it.
Love here does not promise healing or easy answers—it simply exists, fragile and sincere, within an unstable world.
That restraint gives the drama an unusually mature tone for a BL series.

As the puzzle pieces finally seem to align, the question is no longer what happened, but how the characters will live with what they learn.
If the final episodes resist the urge to soften these truths, Melody Of Secrets has the potential to leave a lasting impression well beyond its genre.

Ten Episodes of Love Not Mystery: ForceBook's Chemistry Shines

Having reached the sixth episode, I must voice out my opinion on the series. The actors are really doing a great job so far. Force Jiratchapong and Book Kasidet have mastered this, even though they weren't as strong in their debut series Enchante and A Boss and A Babe. Only Friends sets them apart as a couple.

My take on this one, they have improved a lot as individuals and you can see their growth on screen together. I have watched all their works, I must say this is the project where they shined the most. The soft conversations, gestures and their glances are spot on and well directed. ForceBook here are lovers 100%, before you could say there was bromance, but now the chemistry has strengthened.

Moving on to the director, this is a 10-episode series, why are you rushing the story and jinx in irrelevant scenes when the pieces are coming together? This is where it falters, because it's really exhausting and might suffer from Botpleng's mental condition.

'Melody of Secrets' has a unique storyline, it's not just any series. We must feel the terror and suspense with each episode releasing, but none. It had a huge potential, but due to it's direction, it has just become a normal series...even though we are still guessing who the murder is. That's the only intriguing part, otherwise ForceBook deserve better honestly and all the popularity out there.

When Chemistry Hits but the Mystery Keeps You Guessing

Okey, This is my first time reviewing! i had to do it because people are sleeping on this series
I’m literally hooked. Four episodes in, and this drama has me completely curious about how the story is going to unwrap as it progresses. Every episode leaves me wanting answers while also throwing more questions at me, and honestly, that’s part of the charm.

The plot feels fresh, especially for a BL. The memory loss angle combined with the mystery element is something I haven’t really seen explored like this before, and it immediately sets the drama apart. Each episode has its own impact, making me feel more intrigued and, at times, confused in a good way. The kind of confusion that makes you replay scenes and analyze every detail.

The pacing, though, is a bit mixed. It feels like a strange combination of slow burn and rushed at the same time. While I do enjoy the kisses and romantic moments, I personally wish the story slowed down a little more. I’m very much into yearning, desperation, and emotional tension, and I feel like the angst of Tanpleng could have been explored more deeply if the pacing allowed it.

The mystery layer is definitely on the confusing side, especially for viewers who don’t analyze much. Since I already know some major spoilers, I can follow where the story is headed, but I can see how people with less concentration might struggle. That said, this confusion only makes me want to watch more and connect the dots myself.

Now, the chemistry. Absolutely on point. From episode one itself, the chemistry between Force and Book is serving, and yes, I might be a little biased, but it genuinely works. Their dynamic pulls you in immediately and keeps you invested.

Performance-wise, everyone is doing a great job. Book having multiple people crushing on him is always a win, and the confession scenes were especially enjoyable. There honestly isn’t a single bad actor in this series; everyone shines in their own way. The leads, in particular, surprised me. After Peaceful Property, seeing them cry this much and deliver such emotional scenes really shows how much their acting has improved.

Visually, the drama is beautiful. The cinematography, lighting, and aesthetics give the series a special glow. The OSTs are another highlight; ForceBook absolutely nailed them, and both songs have already become favorites for me. While the pilot trailer felt darker, the current lighter tone gives the drama its true romantic thriller vibe, which works really well.

Emotionally, episode 4 hit hard. When they cried, I cried with them. The angst is finally showing up, and the actors are nailing those moments, though I definitely want more angst moving forward.

Some standout positives for me are the cameos and, of course, the kissing scenes. They’re genuinely eating up the screen every time. My only real complaint so far is the pacing. With just 10 episodes, the story feels like it’s moving too fast, and I can’t help but think it would’ve hit even harder with more room to breathe.

Going forward, I’m hoping for more plot twists, more emotional depth, and definitely more cameos. I’m even manifesting one particular actor to show up.

Overall, Melody of Secrets is intriguing, emotionally engaging, and visually pleasing. It’s already shaping up to be a memorable BL, and I’m very excited to see how the mystery unfolds

A Haunting Melody of Love, Lies, and Memory

I have always loved crime scenes, murder, and investigation stories, so pairing that genre with BL already had me excited. What made it even better is seeing one of my favourite couples, ForceBook, back on screen. Force as Tankoon, a criminologist, and Book as Botphleng, a crime journalist, is honestly a perfect pairing. Their chemistry is strong, natural, and convincing, and their acting feels more mature and grounded than ever.

We have seen ForceBook in both office and university BLs before, so getting them in a fresh mystery crime genre feels like such a breath of fresh air. The first two episodes completely hooked me. I was genuinely shocked by how many kiss scenes we got in the very first episode. The idea of kissing someone when you do not remember anything about them, yet your heart and instincts know you have loved and kissed them before, was portrayed so beautifully. It felt intimate, unsettling, and emotional all at once.

I will be honest, like many viewers, I was confused during the first episode. But it was a good kind of confusion. The title has the word Secrets for a reason. The storytelling is deliberately fragmented, and that sense of disorientation puts you right into Botphleng’s state of mind.

For anyone who felt lost after episode one, do not give up or judge it too quickly. The confusion is intentional. If everything were explained from the start, the mystery and tension that make this genre so addictive would completely disappear. With eight more episodes to go, the series is clearly designed to keep you questioning, uneasy, and constantly guessing, and that is exactly what makes it so compelling.

There is no second couple in this series, which actually works in its favour, as it keeps the focus tight and intense. I am also glad they added Boun to the cast. He is a strong actor and adds another layer of intrigue to the story.

So far, the plot feels unique, the acting is strong across the board, and the atmosphere is dark, suspenseful, and emotionally charged.

Personally, I think this series has been executed really well and perfectly captures the tone of a true psychological and suspense BL. I am genuinely looking forward to the remaining episodes, because if it continues at this level, Melody of Secrets could easily become one of GMMTV’s standout BLs.

A ForceBook series that is one of a kind.

The storyline was so good. Makes you think, predict, or theorized what really happened in the past. Something that would make you think critically while having fun watching the series. Actors acting skills were very good, too. Really served us with different emotions that makes us, viewers, felt satisfied. ForceBook as actors are really doing great and put a lot of effort not just MOS but also all the other series they have. From episode 1 till episode 7, I am still hooked up with this series.

Can't wait for the next episodes.

Watch it. You'll love it too.

How to tell a story without telling a story...

The first episode delivers impressively nuanced storytelling, weaving together emotional mystery and criminal intrigue with a confidence that immediately pulls the viewer in. By pairing Botphleng’s memory loss with Tankhun’s claim of being his first love, the narrative creates an instant emotional charge, one that feels both intimate and unsettling. The diary adds another clever layer, serving not only as a fragment of Botphleng’s past but also as a potential tool of manipulation, leaving us unsure which character is telling the truth. Tankhun’s line “If you were faking your memory loss, you wouldn’t have come here” lands with striking ambiguity: it could be reassurance, a confession of longing, or a subtle attempt to control the situation.

This blend of vulnerability, suspicion and unresolved affection gives the episode an emotional depth that feels genuinely human. It’s a smart, compelling foundation that promises a complex and emotionally charged story to come. Interestingly, this is just about how most of the trailer looks like, meaning there is much more for us to know in coming weeks!

The dynamic between Botphleng and Tankhun is clearly positioned to deepen, whether toward genuine love, emotional manipulation, or a revelation that recontextualizes everything we’ve seen. The diary hints at a storyline where memories, secrets, and evidence become increasingly intertwined, especially as the criminal investigation advances. Most importantly, the episode’s willingness to leave questions open rather than rushing toward answers shows that future episodes are likely to peel back layers slowly, revealing new motives, shifting power dynamics, and emotional complexities. In short, episode one promises a series that values tension, ambiguity, and slow-burning character development, suggesting we’re only at the surface of something far more intricate.

The strength of this first episode sets up a future that feels emotionally rich and narratively unpredictable. Its careful balance of romance, mystery, and psychological tension suggests that the series will continue to blur the line between truth and perception, keeping viewers unsure of who to trust and what Botphleng’s past really contains.
