pond was designed to be khun thee, he truly gave life to the character and made me enjoy him even more! also huuuuge congratulations to est and bonnie here, amazing side character portrayal. the tawanaran plot only truly happened in the series cuz gmm made them be a fixed couple pairing but i didn't like them in the novel and didn't like them in the series as well (not talking about PS here, pls); tawan is an awful person and i didn't enjoy that peach forgave him.
romemhok was too good, and i totally understand they didn't had their own development - they also don't have in the novel as well -.
really light and fun watch, truly had my time laughing a lot watching all of the eps,!!!

More Touching Than Funny
This series started out in the traditional sense of most Thai BLs. Initially, I almost thought it was a spoof on Thai BLs because it seemed like the characters were more like parodies than representatives of real people. However, as I got into this series, I found it to be intriguing and fascinating, maybe unintentionally? While most perhaps found this series humorous with tongue-in-cheek situations, as it is billed as a ‘comedy’. However, I found it utterly sad and melancholic. It represents one of the dolefulest stories I have watched in a very long time. Admittedly, I cried more than laughed through most of this telling. Honestly, this series could have been an early contender for Top Ten for 2026 honors, but as usual it took the low road to simply making it cute rather than completing the story behind the story. ALL four of the protagonists are astonishingly sad characters whose lives have not been destined by their actions but by the antics of others. This was not a comedy but a serious study of very sad, stunted young men who miraculously found love with each couple, meriting all the happiness that a fairytale ending should give them. They deserve one. Their lives have not been necessarily easy ones. More importantly, they seemingly understand that but are willing to give back to society tenfold more than society gave them.Was this review helpful to you?
I want more!
Such a cutie series this is.. this series to me felt like that comfort food you eat after a long day of work.. it was cute, light and just so cozyI love the whole cast, such a sweet energetic, young cast.. they brought out the best
Talking about the lead, THEE is the biggest cheeseball but it felt so cute to watch him.. peach described him the best, he is a golden retriever like HE IS like that and I learned he is like that even irl
And peach was just the person u need to handle the golden retriever, a calm, mature and someone who can ground the puppy.. their chemistry was good.. as a millennial, I squealed under my blanket like a school girl so …
And I need to watch the supporting character’s main lead dramas now coz I loved them.. williamest, perthsanta, I was already into them with their edits and all. And now I’m even more invested so I’m watching ur dramas next..
Overall, it was FUN to watch..

REALLY strong start but didn’t keep Momentum!
so I’m sad to say I am a little disappointed with how the show ended up turning out to be. I feel there were great bones to the storyline and I feel like the time wasn’t used well to flesh out these parts.something the show brought that we never see again is Peach’s trauma with his father that is something we start to see but not again.
the proposed danger that Thee is in but there is never any real threat.
I also fear the worst offense was how they utilized their side characters, perthsanta storyline could have been so perfect if they left it at episode 8 broken up but to continue into ep 9 with Aran doing a complete unprompted switch to save Tawan after the fight was odd considering there was no apology or change of actions to show Aran that tawan was better or changed so it felt thrown in there to just give them an ending and GMMTV needs to let characters break up and not be end game it’s okay I’m sure most ppl would of appreciated the realism of moving on from a toxic relationship. they could of had tawan try to make amends with peach and thee on his own once he lost everything and peach could have then forgiven him and tell thee to chill which leads to a possible make up with Aran but they just gave it to tawan without any work.
Mok and Rome feel like it could be a spin off maybe but also if that’s the end of the story we see it also was a under utilization of characters that could of brought a lot to the plot.
I think part of why the story lost momentum was that there weren’t any growth steps like yes that one director who had a issue with peach was a good step but that was resolved in one episode and after that we don’t really see any other issues of note for the couple so it goes a bit downhill considering we don’t get much mafia things actually happening.
still love Pond Phuwin but I can’t say this is a favorite from them but visually this is the best they have ever looked aging like fine wine whole cast is visuals! I think if there was a deeper care to writing a well fleshed out story for them it could have been a 10 but it’s good for laughs

Sweetly exaggerated, and beautifully romantic.
A drama that hardly needs any comments.Fun, spontaneous, simple, sweetly exaggerated, and beautifully romantic.
I loved the characters, the way the story was built, the cast’s performances, as well as the script and direction.
It is made for those who are looking for pure enjoyment in a BL story that is, at the very least, truly distinctive.
I wholeheartedly recommend it.
I loved it.

Goofy Love Story
Man I wish this drama was longer!! I loved every second, every episode of this drama. I thought it was going to be more of a serious drama with the whole mafia family aspect but it truly was just a goofy love story and I loved it just as much.PondPhuwin does it again! Their chemistry is unmatched, I swear with every new drama they just keep getting better and better. The yearning in this was so good, I loved just how in LOVE with Peach Thee was it was so perfect. The way they balanced each other so perfectly was *chefs kiss* Peach continuously bringing Kian back down to earth and Thee providing that safety and security Peach always needed was soooo good.
Side couple time, I am biased as the biggest PerthSanta fan that the fact that they were in this drama just added points for me, and of course WilliamEst kills it again!! Both side pairings already have so much chemistry it was just the perfect casting. I do however wish that both couples got more screen time cause we never really got to fully delve into their stories and relationships. All the more reason to hope for a second season.
This drama had be giggling and straight up laughing out loud every episode. They are all so cute but like Pond is so funny in this, the fact that everyone said that he just plays himself I just love that so much cause Kian was just so sweet I literally made only 1 note while watching and it was "I love Pond so much and his goofy, dorky smitteness like ughhhh Khun Thee GREEN Flag"
I love that this truly was just like a fun fluffy love story, there wasn't any major conflicts, I wasn't stressed through episodes waiting for them to resolve. Just so so good I will definitely be rewatching!

silly, impropable and deliously sublime at times
I am a fan of Pond and Phuwin. But wasn't prepared for Pond going out on a limb like this! He is delightful and handles the over the top comedy quite well. They just click no matter what the material (and this is pretty darn good, with some minor glitches) and there is an ease now between them and the camera. I didn't know I needed a fairy tale like this, but it sure made the world a less darker place.Yes, side characters are given short shrift, especially when they are using BL actors of such calibre. The Mafia thing is a red herring and nothing really bad ever happens...even the Mafia father is....well no need to spoil that plot line.
So enjoy the sweet ride and binge on a weekend. I did as the snow was swirling outside my window but it was warm and happy in my home. Think its time to go back and rewatch NEVER LET ME GO, again!

Thee comedic festival no phuwin intended!!?
I waited to watch this till it had finished airing as I just could not get into into when it started. Honestly I was enthralled by other shows that has stronger storyline and chemistry.Having watched this I will say this is a comedic gem carried by Pond. He embodies Thee so well. I was not shocked that somehow Phuwin appears to be the same character in all the shows he is in including this one. I don’t see much difference between him in never let me go, we are and this one same character. I think he may need to stretch his acting or he is in danger of being type casted.
That said it does not detract from the overall show itself. Will and Est that was nice side couple story. Santa and Perth storyline was not even necessary. It did nothing for the actual show!
I am not going to go to much details but just to say if you are looking for some lol moments, fluffy romance and questionable plot holes you have come to the right place.
Would I rewatch this probably not, maybe certain episodes.

This show was hilarious and made me laugh more than any show in a WHILE. Loved PondPhuwin and could see they both have improved a lot. Honestly can't wait to see what they have to offer us next. However, at some parts the acting felt stiff and not natural at all. I understand Lookpeach is not very affectionate and can be a bit awkward, which was very well portrayed, but still it left me wishing for more. I loved that there wasn't any unnecessary drama in the show, it felt very refreshing for sure.
I was waiting so much from the last episode and I did love it, but it felt like something was missing and maybe it was a bit rushed.. Meaning I need there to be more episodes 😂
I also wanted to see more WilliamEst, but I understand this is not about them. Maybe one day they'll get their own show as Mok and Rome..
I will definitely miss this show as it has brought me so much joy and so many memes to make me laugh 😂. Can't wait to see what GMM THEE V will have to offer next 😉

One of "The Best"
Yeah! I didnt expect this from pond as Khun Thee as compared to other series he casted this will be my topmost favo role of his. I didnt see the trailer yet i doesnt had any expectation on this series as this is one of gmm's series.....😅. But this is way different in compared to all those series of channel (expect last twilight❤️). Coming to the story i didnt feel like Thee's way of his story it could have more clarity and pond way of acting funnier its really wow to watch . first of 2-3epds i didnt expect this much and followed by it became yes can continue watching this. And to phuwin he can have some expression yeah its stubborn character he can have some affectionate kind of things. Even though this pair dont do fan service they can use in here i didnt tell it doesnt can be some more been placed. This phuwin guy acting as mature one in past few series i hope he can be some enjoyable as like as phuwin.I have watched till the last epds yeah they had some sweet movements but the story is too rushed as of their parents decision and kind of stuff and fianlly they got married with 2 kiddos and owning gmmtheev from p'tha🤣🤣, and romemohks' story these guys still deserve some screentime. As of other actors lookplub,jj,perthsanta, dew had thier roles done beautifully. And waiting for the finall spl epds looking forward. And Pls morkrome could have spl epds or series of continuations....Was this review helpful to you?
A fun and lighthearted series
Very cute BL with Pond & PhuwinPLOT: While chasing an actor (Aran) who works for his company, the ML (Thee, a tough and ruthless CEO, a "mafia boss") meets Peach, a photographer and Aran's friend, and falls madly in love with him. But Peach's lifestyle and values are very, very different, and Thee need to adapt drastically if he wants to win his heart.
+++ Short, fun, lighthearted series (there are no villains), even a bit like Cinderella! The touches of humor are well-placed.
+++ Pond & Phuwin are very cute and handsome, but the chemistry isn't obvious. In particular, Phuwin doesn't seem very comfortable in intimate scenes. Pond is much more natural.
+++ The OSTs are pleasant.
+++ The direction is efficient, with no dull moments, and the sets, costumes, houses, props, etc., are flawless.
### A bit " over-the-top feel-good" series where everyone is beautiful and kind :) :)
=> A fun and lighthearted series for a confortable evening.
********************************************************
BL très cute avec Pond & Phuwin
PLOT: En poursuivant un acteur (Aran) qui travaille pr sa Cie, le ML (Thee, CEO dur & expéditif, "mafia boss") rencontre Peach, photographe, ami de Aran, et tombe fou amoureux. Mais le mode de vie, les valeurs, ... de Peach sont très très différents et Thee va devoir durement s'adapter s'il veut conquérir le coeur de Peach.
+++ Série courte, fun, légère (il n'y a aucun Villain) même un peu Cinderella ! Les petites touches d'humour sont bien placées.
+++ Pond & Phuwin sont très cute, handsome, mais l'alchimie n'est pas évidente. En particulier, Phuwin ne semble pas très à l'aise dans les scènes intimes. Pond est bcp plus naturel.
+++ Les OSTs sont agréables
+++ La réalisation est efficace, sans temps mort, avec [décors, costumes, maisons, accessoires, etc.] sans aucune fausse note.
### Série un peu "bizounours" où tout le monde est beau, tout le monde est gentil :) :)
=> Série fun et légère

so nostalgic
this whole series is just one long love letter to pondphuwin <3 the references to their previous series are EVERYWHERE and it’s adorable.yes, it’s cheesy and cringy but it’s so sweet and cute. peach and thee love each other so genuinely, and i’m so glad they found each other in this universe.
also WE WERE ROBBED OF A ROMEMOK KISS but it’s ok cause mok is going to go with rome and theyre going to be in love and live their long happy lives together trust.
the tawanaran storyline was amazing, i was living for the angst. i honestly think aran forgave him too easily after that big fight but it was lovely to see perthsanta happy at the end :)
