Sensitive and fun. A whole mix of emotions!
It's a very interesting story, and differently from most GMMTV series, it's about an already established couple and also, a couple of adults.This series is not exactly about their development as a couple (though they do have some development), but more as individuals. How they can grow together, heal their traumas (and ofc, this does affect the growth of their relationship).
It's very well made OMG THE COSTUMES 🤏🏻 it's sooo cute, their clothes were like adorable. Every set was so cutely decorated.
And everyone delivered SUCH good acting. Seriously, ofc it has to be Santa doing Sun/Solar bcs who else has this boyish-ness like him? I wouldn't buy it if it were anyone else. This character was MADE for him. Perth is such a good actor too.
It's a beautiful storyline, but it does have some… holes? In the narrative. Some things are left without proper development. It's still enjoyable but I can't ignore it.
But definitely very well made and the struggles with mental health were addressed properly and with care. I do wish that they would have had more of the psychiatrist and therapists, though.

Actually, I love the part that talk about how woman are treated after giving birth and having a child. And post partum depression. It was interesting.
PerthSanta chemistry is on top like always. I really like Santa's acting. I always want to confort him :c

As for the story itself, it was both sensitive and heartwarming. Perhaps only people who have not yet found peace with their inner child will fully understand what I mean, but this story genuinely touched my heart. I wish comfort, healing, and self-acceptance to everyone who is dealing with trauma or struggles related to their inner child.
Santa's performance made me become deeply attached to the character of young Sun, and he made me cry many times throughout the series. I could also genuinely feel the pressure that Bobmik's character experienced while taking care of Solar.
However, despite all that, I felt that the series was a little rushed at times. Some of the most important events happened rather quickly, and I wish certain moments had been given more time to develop so that their emotional impact could have been explored more deeply.
The series is filled with emotions, whether it's sadness, sympathy, love, or the warmth of family bonds. I highly recommend watching it. ❤️

More than what I expected.
This show was super well acted by all involved, but especially our leading men.I've watched them before, so I knew they had the acting chops to take on these roles - and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't going to the silly-eque show it looked to be.
This show had such emotional depth and dealt with a serious subject but not in the heaviest way.
It made for a great change from the regular "meet-cute" dramas of couples coming together, to have a couple that was already established on episode one. Not only that, there was no love rival! the plotline centered solely on their past traumas.
An all around good watch.

Every emotion possible in this cute little Rom com
Well I wasn’t expecting that! I came for PerthSanta and left with another level of aww for this talented pairing.The story is about Solar and Pobmek, a pair of young lovers who meet as roomies at college. Solar has always wanted to be a teacher and Pobmek follows him into the profession once he realises that he hates the idea of becoming an accountant which is his mother’s dream for him. Trouble is, Pobmek doesn’t really want to be a teacher either as he can’t connect with the kids in his class . After an accident Solar’s personality splits so that sometimes he is still Solar but other times he becomes Sun a 7 year old version of himself. Over the course of the story Sun/solar encourages Pobmek to see things from a child’s perspective and slowly but surely he falls in love with teaching.
The humour in this drama is wonderful and Perth, Santa and Sammy were delightful as Pobmek, Sun/Solar and Principal Sodchuen and this trio was enhanced by the socially awkward Jee, played by Kay Lertsittichai another titan from the GMMTV stable.
What I wasn’t expecting was how bereft I felt when Sun ceased to exist, I felt he had died (Solar’s explanation that he’d gone into a deep sleep absolutely killed me). I think this had as much to do with how well Santa played the character and how important Sun was to all the principal characters (both main and support). The way this was dealt with was utterly heartbreaking but in a good way and I get the impression that both Perth and Santa’s tears were genuine when they said goodbye to Sun at the beach (as I write this I’m tearing up!). So powerful and an absolute chef’s kiss to the writer and director.
The kids were brilliant and cute and believable and I can imagine filming with them was fun as they took on their various roles so well. I loved Elsa’s ‘teenage bitch’ swagger. These kids will all go far if the industry doesn’t chew them up.
My only criticism would be the way that Pobmek’s mother’s and Solar’s father’s plot lines developed but I guess their terrible parenting wasn’t really what this drama was about but even so, they got off too lightly. I knocked a point off for this.
Would I watch this again? Absolutely, if nothing else but for the fact there was an adult was jumping on a bed!

It's good, but also...
Perth and Santa are one of my fave bl pairings. When I saw the trailer for this series I was a little apprehensive since it looked a bit too slapstick for my taste. Fortunately, the slapstick was minimal. But that doesn't mean there aren't any other problems.The plot is clear. Teacher who loves his job has a boyfriend who's only a teacher to follow his boyfie. Then the first mentioned gets into an accident and as a consequence, regresses to his childhood every other day. This snowballs into his boyfriend needing to deal with a child in man-form and trying to find out how to repair the situation.
So far, so good. This makes for a quite humorous premise and could have been cute and nice. However, we also het hit with the childhood trauma of Sun, and the reason the regression happened is unraveled slowly. The episodes get heavier and towards the final episode we are so pained by Sun's traumatic past , that I started dreading the next episode in fear for even more painful revelations. And sure enough, until the forelast episode this is maintained. I was sobbing for poor Sun. And wondering why we get such an overload on horrible events. The connection between the regression and the child could have been made with less. This was really too much. The lighter notes, set by Sammy in the role of the interim headmistress among others, fall totally flat against the horrible oredeals that Sun has to deal with.
Some side characters who should have been more important throughout the story are introduced without any foreshadowing and we get so many flashbacks to fill in these blanks that I was getting confused at times.
What's good is that the acting and cinematography are very well done. The PerrhSanta chemistry is certainly there. Santa is fantastic in switching between child Sun and adult Solar. The arc of Perth's character (i forgot his name already) from child fearing to child caring is natural and endearing.
Here's another that bothered me: everybody is too soft-spoken. People tend to get irritated at certain things. Not these people. Nothing but respect and niceness. Boring.
I think the way the story is told is not very suitable for a drama. In a book this works, but not really on a screen.

Healing takes time and it’s about care, patience, love, and support.
PerthSanta really made me understand why they are so loved. The chemistry and acting was just on point from both of them. Santa had a more difficult task as he had to portray practically two characters, but I didn’t feel that Perth was behind him — on the contrary. After all, the one who is closest to Solar is Pobmek, and the dramatic weight that the character carries is big.The support, care, patience and love that we see among the characters here is very beautiful. It’s exactly what a person who’s suffering with any type of mental health need. I was scared seeing the sinopse but they did the age regression thing respectfully and with a lot of care. The flashbacks from the main lead's pasts was a nice move too. It makes us understand their actions more and it also connects perfectly to the present and gives more depth to their present moments. They felt meaningful and not only random scenes. I love it! I loved the OST too! Very cute.
Despite the praises, I have to say that the characters completely ignoring therapy for Solar bothered me a bit. I know it's fiction but seeing the characters do everything to help Solar get better, do all sorts of crazy things—except taking him to therapy sessions—was a bit hard for me to a certain point. I asked myself “Why are they ignoring that?” but eventually I accepted. There were a few other points that I had to close an eye too like Solar forgiving his father too quickly and the school allowing Pobmek to teach even though he doesn’t have a teaching license and everyone accepting that 😂 but well…fiction I guess.
Overall, Love Your Teacher was a very cute and beautiful serie. I got emotional, I smiled, cried, and loved following the story of love, friendship, and companionship between our main leads. It’s not a perfect BL but I think there’s some good points here that deserves more attention.

no stress quiet fluff with a serious topic
This is no stress quiet fluff with a serious topic.The age regression stuff was quite worrying when seen in the trailer, but they managed to pull it off really well. I usually don’t like kids in shows but the three girls actually cracked me up all the time!
The show deals with deep and serious topics in a light and colourful atmosphere, which can sometimes be confusing, but is also calming.
It’s interesting to see mental issues being addressed, directly (with Sun) and also as a side topic (with Jee’s OCD). It also deals with the importance of asking for help and the hardship of taking care of loved ones,... So every aspect of mental health issue system is addressed EXCEPT, the professional circle, which is quickly addressed at the beginning but more as a gag than really real help. And that is imo something the show missed, although I do understand that choice in terms of storyline.
Unfortunately, the show still manage to fall into the infinite pit of too easily forgiven moms. And that’s an objective statement. For Plobmek’s, but especially for Sun’s mom, its disappointing to me that a show supposedly dealing seriously with mental health conditions falls back down into overused shortcuts.
Santa is doing great at portraying a 7yo without being cringe (which is a refreshing change from P10L, ngl). He is really outdoing himself performing the switches and Perth is really looking extra good despite the weird outfits they’ve been given. Which by the way really throws me off every time.

A Heartwarming and Comforting BL
Perth and Santa are back together and they are incredibly cute. What makes this series stand out immediately is that the couple is already in a loving relationship from the start. Instead of the usual slow burn, we get to see them living together, caring for each other, and supporting one another as a real couple. That dynamic already feels refreshing. Another fun detail is that both of them are teachers and even work at the same school, which creates so many sweet and funny moments between them.Santa as Solar is such a lovable character. He is an enthusiastic and fun teacher who clearly loves his students, and he also takes great care of his boyfriend Pobmek and the people around him. Perth as Pobmek is the complete opposite. He is a lazy teacher who sometimes feels like he only became a teacher just to work at the same school as his boyfriend. Even though he acts lazy, the way Solar looks after him makes their relationship feel warm and natural.
The story takes an emotional turn when Solar suffers an accident that leaves him with brain damage, and suddenly Pobmek becomes the one who has to look after him. It becomes a real test of patience, devotion, and the love they share.
The plot is great and the writing feels refreshing. Adding children into the story makes the series even more fun and lively. The school setting feels warm and chaotic in the best way, and the interactions with the students bring a lot of humor and heart to the show.
Santa is absolutely incredible in this role. His acting as a seven year old child is spot on, from his expressions to the way he speaks and reacts. It feels natural and believable, making both the funny and emotional moments work so well. Perth also delivers a strong performance as Pobmek. His patience and care really stand out as he looks after Solar, balancing frustration, responsibility, and deep love in a very convincing way.
The series feels light, fun, and comforting while still having emotional depth. The chemistry between Perth and Santa is fantastic and the show already feels very special.

Perth and Santa are my favorite for a reason!
This isn’t just about staying in love it’s about healing within love. Pobmek and Solar both have trauma and they are learning how to heal these trauma while in love. Pobmek is helping heal Solars inner child literally and in a healthy relationship this is such a huge thing. Having someone who is your safe space and is there to love, support and comfort you… ugh this show is amazing and there is so many layers to it!Relationships aren’t always 50/50 there is so much give and take and ebbs and flows
This really was a perfect show for Perth and Santa it truly portrays their genuine chemistry that we already know is there but still such an amazing performance from both of them. I am so proud of them and can’t wait to see their next project. PerthSanta 🖤🤍
I truly am loved this series! My favorite scenes are the ones from their college days. This series is done so well I love the colors and setting it feels fresh. Perth and Santa are absolutely amazing, Santa playing both Solar and Sun is hard within itself but I can tell the difference and he’s doing a great job. Perths character growth I can already tell is going to be a beautiful journey. I’ve already cried basically each episode but I am just so glad they finally got a series and I can’t wait to see more from these two amazing actors 🖤🤍

One of the best series currently airing
Love You Teacher is honestly one of the best series that is currently airing. Everything about it just feels so well made. The acting, directing, production, storytelling and visuals all come together really beautifully. The plot feels really unique and not something you see often.I really appreciate how the series handles mental health. It feels like it was thoughtfully researched and handled with care, not just added for drama. You can tell the director understood what they were trying to portray and did a great job telling the story in a respectful way. The actors Perth and Santa delivered really strong performances and brought so much emotion and depth to the characters.
It’s not just the main characters who are well written—the supporting characters are too. You can really see their struggles and how each of them is quietly dealing with something of their own.
One thing i really loved is Pobmek and Solar’s relationship. It feels like such a healthy, established relationship— you can genuinely feel the comfort and trust between them. It’s not rushed or forced, it feels real.
Even though only 3 episodes are out, I can already tell it’s truly a masterpiece.
Overall, it’s a really well-made series that I’d highly recommend. It’s one of those stories that stays with you.
