Took me a while to Click with Thee but im glad I did.
At first I really did not understand Thee. Forcing a guy with money and gun power to sleep with him. That overly self absorbed dialogues. That silly cringe Mafia trope... I was so close to dropping it and I'm glad i didnt..It took me a while to get the humor of it and once I started enjoyed it I really understood why everybody loves Thee. And why CRINGE is ok. We can make CRINGE really funny, and entertaining. I loved the character so much once i understood that. And unlike other dramas here people around him acknowledges it. Peach reacts to his cringe how i react. Mok rolls his eyes... I love that part too. It's the. Elephant in the room and everybody acknowledges it
I rewatch so many of the scenes here. This is definitely once in a lifetime kind of series.

BL Romcom that will stick to me for a long time
This might have been the best BL series I have watched so far in terms of the "feel good" effect I experienced throughout watching this. Just pure joy and heartfelt moments done right. I think this is why it is rated so high on MDL (9.0 right now!!) and IMDB (8.8).But speaking on technicalities, there are some things that I wish were done differently. From story aspect, Tawan-Aran love line was really questionable, and what was even the point of Shohei and Tawan's friendship... But I love other changes they've done from the novel, such as removing Shohei-Lookplub loveline (cos it's weird af that both siblings got hitched by mafias??), and cutting the entire Wiwid drama (cos why prolong his existence in the story when Khun Thee can just cut him off).
Acting wise, I have to give the highest salute to Pond Naravit. He was the true embodiment of Theerakit Kian Lee. Man, he nailed the role to the point I have difficulties trying to imagine anyone else as Khun Thee. Est was also brilliant as Mok, all his mannerisms as a bodyguard were on point. The rest of the casts were decent, even the supporting roles, with just some not-so-positive notes on Phuwin’s crying scene. I think he can do better with less frowning while crying.
The OSTs are lovely and the team incorporated them very well into the series along with the funny sound effects. Well most of the times though, cos I feel like the sound editing, especially for the last few episodes, can feel a bit unsmooth at times like they were done in a hurry (I guess they have deadlines to meet??).
Despite all the minor hiccups, overall it was a marvelous series. You can tell that the team put a lot of thoughts and efforts into this (along with the high budget) and the casts gave their best. And just like my review headline, this is a series that will stay with me for a long long time. Will be rewatched from time to time, and will be my ultimate go-to if someone ever asks me for recommendation on lighthearted BL series. Simply amazing

A funny rom com
I understand why this series is so popular. It’s true that I don’t get all the inside jokes that Thai viewers might understand, but I still had a really good time watching it.That said, it’s not a series with a complex storyline don’t expect something like KinnPorsche. It’s more about enjoying the moment.
My only negative point and I know this might sound immature is the kissing scenes between Thee and Peach, which I found quite underwhelming. I wasn’t asking for intense make-out scenes, but we’re watching a love story… at least kiss properly.
After episode 7, something feels really off. Pond gives it his all, while Phuwin sorry only seems to give about 30%.
The characters also deserved more development; everything stays very surface-level.
Tawan and Aran are basically useless to the story, and we keep seeing the same trope with Perth and Santa, which is becoming ridiculous.
Despite all that, the series is very comforting and funny, and I really enjoy watching it

Who approved that ending ?
Man, this was going so well. The acting in this series is pretty good, and the dialogues for Khun Thee's character are genuinely pretty funny. I was enjoying this series up until literally the end. The fact that Khun Thee proposes is very in character, but the fact that Peach says yes???????? So out of character for him. He doesn't even necessarily look happy in the scene. For someone as grandiose as Khun Thee, I would've expected a proposal that is a little drawn out, a little more well done. And for someone like Peach I would've liked to see at least SOME deliberation?? SOME push and pull?? Not only does he not say anything about the proposal, but somehow, he doesn't even say anything about the marriage, and they just show us a rushed marriage scene. Neither do we get to see them being involved in the planning which is also so out of character for the both of them??It would've been such a great way to showcase their differences in personalities, how they have opinions on something like marriage, and how they ultimately compromise about how to do the ceremony because they love each other. But no, they had to go and show us a ramshackle marriage because they wanted to wrap up the drama in 10 episodes. Also, why does GMMTV think we want 10-episode dramas?
And why is there no elaboration on the fact that Khun Thee literally adopts the two kids and they magically say yes to him?? Orphans aren't just pushovers...like that genuinely pissed me off. We do not get to see Khun Thee ever spending time with them, or Peach indicating that he's happy about the adoption.
Such a bummer because I thought this series would be in my top rated, but apparently not.

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,!!!

I loved it so much. It was funny and well done as a mafia cliché.
I'm not a big fan of PondPuhwin's BL but this one is a gem. I don't know how to explain but the way Thee act like he's in a lakorn is so funny. This bitch cannot life in our world.
Secondary couple really cute. Obvioulsy it's WilliamEst.

Most innocent and insane mafia boss ever
I watched this drama mainly because I really like the two lead actors, especially the male lead. He usually plays serious characters in other dramas, so seeing him in such a goofy, unserious role was refreshing and honestly very funny. His performance was the biggest highlight for me, and I laughed a lot because of him. Acting-wise, both leads did a good job, and that’s what kept me watching.That said, the drama itself didn’t feel special. Even though the male lead is supposed to be a mafia boss, it never truly felt like a mafia story. He’s probably the most innocent and insane “mafia boss” I’ve ever seen, which was funny—but it also made the whole mafia angle feel fake. Compared to other mafia dramas, like King’s Porch and another one whose name I can’t quite remember, this one lacked suspense, surprises, and intense moments. In those dramas, you’re constantly curious about what will happen next, with unexpected twists, fights, and strong tension mixed with romance. This drama didn’t give that feeling at all.
Instead, it focused mostly on love, with a very watered-down, pretend version of the mafia world. Because of that, I couldn’t fully take the story seriously. I started watching it continuously at first, thinking something bigger would happen later, but once I realized nothing much was changing, I began watching slowly and skipping days. It actually took me about a month to finish the drama.
Overall, I can’t give this drama a high rating. I’ll give it a few extra stars purely for the acting and the male lead’s entertaining performance. If you’re looking for a real mafia drama, this isn’t it. But if you enjoy light romance with a funny, unconventional male lead, it’s still watchable—just don’t expect too much depth or excitement.

Pure Chaos, Pure Chemistry
As usual, PondPhuwin’s chemistry is off the charts, and they definitely delivered in this series. They had me laughing the entire time. Even with them being “extra,” it was not nearly as cringe as I expected. In fact, it worked really well and added to the charm.WilliamEst’s acting has improved a lot. I honestly did not know they had that side in them, and it was great to see their growth on screen.
If you are looking for something a little chaotic but still funny and light hearted, this series is definitely worth a try.
The only downside is that it is too short. I really wish it had more episodes and went deeper into some of the characters’ stories.

Cheesy, self-aware fun — with one personal reservation
I had a genuinely good time with this one. It's silly, it's dramatic, it doesn't take itself seriously for a single second — and that's exactly why it works. Pond as an over-the-top mafia boss living fully inside his own telenovela, Phuwin as the sweet photographer caught in the chaos. The roles fit them perfectly and the whole thing just flows.My one personal sticking point is with PondPhuwin as a couple specifically. In their everyday dynamic — the banter, the warmth, the little moments — I believe them completely. But when it comes to kiss and intimate scenes, something shifts for me. Phuwin in particular sometimes reads as not entirely present, and that's a hard thing to overlook when you're watching two people who are otherwise so comfortable together. I don't think it's something you can force, no matter how well you know someone. It doesn't ruin the series for me, but I noticed it enough to mention it.
Everything else though? Pure fun. Exactly the kind of light, joyful watch I didn't know I needed.

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..
