Perfection
I. I can't believe real people came together and made this instead of it floating down from the clouds in a heavenly usb drive. I'm going to be listening to Infatuated by Rangga Jones until my ears go. Absolutely insane work.Flawless. Flawless. I’m so speechless. The acting was phenomenal. The story was phenomenal. The directing was phenomenal. Every shot was beautiful. The feeling was perfect. What are you doing reading reviews? Just go watch it. It’s really that incredible.
Edit:
.... okay it's not flawless. after reading a comment left by user Disappear, I would like to add that there are a couple times where very serious and traumatic events occur and the victim is blamed. It's shocking in the moment, but in retrospect (and maybe also in delusion) I think the lack of a pc resolution of these issues helps to define who these characters (this victim) is and the mindset they're in. Sometimes when shows do picture-perfect jobs addressing these issues it pulls you out of the story and starts feeling like a psa. Regardless, it's not the prettiest, but I don't think it mars the experience.

Jin x Akin got me INFATUATED!
M A S T E R P I E C E.The chemistry is chemi-ing. The plot is plotting. The act is acting. You got it.
Simply nailed it on every bit, especially that song INFATUATION- hits home each time it plays. A lovely blend of sweetness, laughter, tears. BL with actual depth! Even the NC scenes are so artistic and sexy- it conveys emotions and portrays their relationship! It isn't one of those get naked for the sake of it.
I initially like Akin more but Jin really grew on me over time, especially at his maturity here. What a sweetheart- I definitely can use a JUN in my life, lol
As for Boom, I absolutely adore his acting, especially his crying scenes, it hits hard. Even his NC scenes are good too. He's so hot and talented- where have I been that I've only found him now? I definitely can't wait to see more of his acting.
I'd love a season 2 please...and I'm dying to see wth is LIT?! It's ben a while since I enjoyed a real good BL- Top form delivered just like its name!

An industry shaking BL
I'm going to be honest. Since I started watching BLs in 2022, there aren't many that I've both finished and absolutely loved. I have dropped many shows. But something about this show is so special. From the amazing acting to the beautiful screenwriting. And P'Boss, the director, is so thoughtful. I love watching him in interviews and I'll miss hearing him talk about the show and his thoughts process in Twitter spaces. My only issue with the show is some of the hairstyling in a few scenes. But it's minor enough for me to overlook, especially because everything else works so so well. This is one of those shows I'll probably rewatch every year (maybe even a few times).Was this review helpful to you?

Top Form is incredible
This is hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. I’m not talking about just in the Thai BL genre. This series also raises the bar for Thai BL.I felt incredibly connected to the story and the characters. The cinematography pulled me in more. The characters matter to me, I wanted to see them happy. One season doesn’t feel like enough! I cried at the last episode because I had come to love my Thursday nights with Top Form. This is a series I will keep watching on repeat.
Finally the actors! WOW. The whole cast was fantastic. Smart and Boom are so talented and had great chemistry. The NC scenes are unforgettable and contribute to the storyline. I’m talking UNFORGETTABLE.

Exceptionally beautiful
had to create the account just to give it a 10 star rating.I have read the original story long back and I was surprised it was made into a series. Honestly speaking thai bl are good but the acting and direction of many bls are stiff and the dialogue delivery is too slow that I have to watch it in 2x and so many of them don't have the natural character development but this series beat all those negatives
-Character development was top notch
-Acting was dope, normally I would cringe if someone acts cute but boom did it so beautifully that it was too natural
- ofcourse NC scenes have become the main attractions these days and are being exploited without proper emotions but this series had the "perfect amount" and beautiful direction
-Direction was too good
- There is still a lacunae for development of acting
But so far this has to be the best bl I have watched in my 8 years of bl journey
I don't watch any drama or movie twice no matter how good it is but I watched this thrice within a week becoz of the impact it left on my mind
Can we appreciate boom on how good he carried the crying scenes???? I'm not even interested in the NC scenes anymore and I keep watching the emotional scenes where he did it so beautifully
He might become my favourite actor at this rate

best show ever
I rarely write reviews here, but this show is so worth writing one. I have never looked forward to watching a show more than I had with this show, and I'm so sad it's over :(SmartBoom have amazing chemistry and have a way of showcasing love in such a beautiful way. I highly recommend watching this show, it's one of the most beautiful and artistic shows you will ever watch. I truly hope we get a second season, I need to see more of JinAkin's love story <3

There were definitely some moments I wish had been handled differently, but the story of a rookie actor falling for a veteran was compelling enough to keep me coming back episode after episode. At times, it felt like I was watching a stage play.
The supporting cast delivered an excellent performance, with Euro Waratthip Kittiphaisan standing out as Naru. I have a feeling he’s going to drive Johnny crazy with his rebellious streak in the upcoming seasons. Definitely worth checking out.

Perfect and fulfilling
The acting and chemistry of the characters are outstanding. They totally convey the feeling of the story. The storyline is also up to par and does not have any dull moments.- I also loved comedy moments and the deep feelings that are portrayed
- does gives you many other reasons to keep on watching, except the eye candy. Although the looks are also great.
One of the best bl made to date

Breathtaking and lingering
Although it is an adaptation it managed to give us something unique and long-lasting.Reasons:
- great acting
- tension, heartbreak, romance, strong personalities, moral messages, laughter, EMOTIONS, TEARS and HEALING
I knew the series was good even before actually watching it because I saw some snippets of it at the very beginning when it started airing. However, I'm not the type of person who can watch series one episode at a time so I decided to wait and try not to see some big spoilers whilst following airing schedule. I didn't expect anything breathtaking but I was curious nonetheless so I gave it a shot. It turned out I was the one getting shot straight to the heart by the series. Getting attached to this extent and bawling my eyes out at 4-5am over certain scenes caught me off guard even though I'm an emotional and hypersensitive person, which only speaks volumes of how great the series turned out to be. I knew I would probably like it, but to love it this much and ranking it as my number 1 BL is pleasant and long-overdue breath of fresh air which was more than worth the wait.

Chemistry + Metalanguage + Honey
Top Form is a series that begins with a clever and captivating concept. Right from the start, the audience is drawn into a world where the main characters are actors playing roles within other shows — a playful and creative use of metanarrative that sets the tone for what’s to come.One of the most fascinating aspects is how the show takes us behind the scenes of television production. Even if it’s not entirely realistic, it’s incredibly interesting to watch how these dynamics are portrayed.
The performances are a true highlight. The actors deliver emotional, nuanced portrayals that bring the story to life. The opening scenes, in which they act within fictional shows, are especially delightful — a refreshing layer of storytelling.
The conflicts that unfold throughout the series are also well-crafted and mirror situations we often see in the media. The relationship between the protagonists is portrayed with intensity and tenderness, making it heartwarming to watch their bond grow stronger over time.
A standout supporting character makes a striking entrance and leaves a lasting impression. I found myself wanting more scenes between him and another character introduced later — they had the potential to become a compelling couple in a possible second season.
One curious detail was that Akin, at some point, refers to his partner as both “Jun” and “Jin.” I wasn’t sure if that was related to the show they acted in together, but it felt a bit confusing.
I really enjoyed the inspiration drawn from The Untamed — the costumes were stunning, and the actors looked incredible.
I did find the ending of the series a bit underwhelming.
Overall, Top Form is an excellent series. It fully deserves the praise it has received. The cinematography is beautiful, the script is engaging and well-structured, and the cast is strong. I truly loved it. I was charmed by this couple and sincerely hope to see more series featuring this ship.
