UHHHH WHAT ?

Ok , so I will start by saying that I started watching this because I love the twins...
The acting was good , but what the hell is the story line ? so messy so what of place so chaotic!! I am not sure why did we have an extra episode , who is it serving? I hated the ending , it was not necessary! It could have ended with Victor Death ... and TK seeking solace with Nan Krai and TK falling in love slowly with Nan Krai.... I understand the cave lady story and all but it was so unnecessary ....

Ranting about the tragic end

TBH, this was my fist bl I have seen with this much tragic... I don't have any questions about the story or the NC scenes. In the 8th ep, I thought, after rejecting Victor, TK will go back to Namkran, But, nO, He doesn't . Ok fine, he didnot have to but after seeing the twins he couldnot control his excitement and rush to meet them but died in the end. The special ep about CL and Nadol, really saved me from crying beacuse the second couple also had a good chemistry... But I really didnot like the end of 8th ep where TK had to die. Otherwise, overall , the series is really good

DID NOT SEE THAT COMING

Thought this would be a cute, easy watch with eye candy. Scenery and scenes with Taiwan culture was interesting. Never expected Inaould need tissue. I am still thinking about the ending. I can see a season two with the new couple. Definetly not what I wanted but somehow this whole drama kept my interest.

Ambitious, but Tragic!

From the start, I felt bad for Nankrai: always the brother, never the lover. The best NC scene was in his dream. And I sure fell in love with him!

I didn’t feel there was ANY chemistry from the actor, who played Victor. I believe it was a fault in his acting ability.

Although, it was realistic, and unfortunate, that TK only felt brotherly toward Nankrai, it was disappointing.

It was a cute, entertaining series, until the final 2 episodes, when everything turns tragic.

The storyline, as I said in my header, was fairly ambitious, but I was NOT expecting 2 deaths, a time rewind, then another death. How depressing can a writer make a BL series? Answer: VERY!

I would not want to watch it again for the reasons stated above.

I didn’t hate it, I just think it could have been more satisfying to the viewer. The main character being sacrificed at the end was, in no way, “satisfying.” It’s like, the only one who can lead a happy life, after everything, would be Victor. And I didn’t like him enough to want that to be the outcome. But, I guess TK did.

Just TRAGIC.

Just to make a sad ending

I know sad endings give higher viewership and greater buzz but this drama is simply for giving some very sad ending no matter what.
I've never watched such a drama. There was no constructive script or dialogues just free floating story and drama. Just a bits and cuts of a person's diary. There's no time line, no depth to the story and no character development.
Starting episodes were good, I thought something is building and everything was so smooth but as the drama grows there's no progress. And suddenly in the last episode everyone dies that's it. Cast were cute but I can't see them and forgive this script.
Pretty much nothing was answered, how did Victor die and they were so close but why didnt he say about his family that TK had to find about his twin only after going to Taiwan. Nothing makes sense if I see for more logics. Generally, If a person dies don't all of his friends and friends' families know about that. Even if Nan krai died it's not TK's fault. Not telling him about nan krai's death is not justified.
I don't understand why TK had to die in victor's place I couldn't find any explanation for how both victor and Nan krai will survive if TK dies. Leaving his mom and jumping to die but why???? I'm so frustrated that I wasted 1 day to this drama.

An Exceptional Story & Misunderstood!

Occasionally, something comes along that touches your soul in a way that you were not expecting. I am quite old, and I have buried many experiences in my life, but this small gem helped me to evoke lost memories that were uncannily close to the content of this story. Perhaps I am alone here, but I simply loved this story for its romance. It paints romance in its purest form – carefree, youthful, deciduous. In a way that only happens once, if ever, in one’s lifetime. If you are fortuitous enough.

The intimacy is serendipitous, intense, fervid, and fills your life with a burst of joy that you will never ever experience again. It is your first love. But your first love with a person who is everything you dreamt that paragon would be and wanted to be. He was your knight in shining armor, your Prince Charming. Your Romeo. Your Adonis. Everything you imagined a fairytale love affair would be. I remembered mine and my experience was such ecstasy and therefore, I understood this BL series at its core. While my ending was certainly not as dramatic, my fervor was. Despite the diegesis’s many flaws, I only saw its beauty and the passion for the underlying message of its storybook love. I wish others would see it in this light as well.

This is a fantasy love story. It starts out that way and ends that way. Unfortunately, that point was missed or overlooked. Maybe the realm of fantasy based too much in today’s tangible world is too much for many to believe, or perhaps it just does not/cannot exist anymore. In any case, I am deeply saddened.

From the very first episode, I knew this series was going to break me. The warning signs were all there. I just didn’t expect how much it would hurt. That final episode left me completely dehydrated from all the crying. No show has ever crushed my poor heart like this. It was shattered into a million little pieces.

And yet... I absolutely loved it. Everything. The storyline, the cast, the cinematography, the OST. It’s a little masterpiece. A love that transcends time, full of promises, memories, waiting, longing, heartbreak, and acceptance. I’m not saying the plot is flawless, but there’s something so genuine and real about it that completely drew me in.

The mix of languages was a huge bônus. It made everything feel even more authentic. I saw a few comments criticizing Tontae’s English, but honestly, it would’ve been weird if he spoke perfectly. His character was chosen to guide Victor precisely to practice his English, so it actually made sense.

The acting was solid across the board, especially from the three leads. Every emotion hit just right, especially in the heavy dramatic scenes. And the way the series promoted cultural tourism didn’t bother me at all as it was so naturally woven into the story. And Thai landscapes are always breathtaking.

The soundtrack is addictive and beautiful. No doubt, this one's going on my favorites list for the year, even with that soul-crushing ending. This indie series went way beyond what I was expecting and it delivered hard.

Is Our Love Temporary or Forever?

Without spoiling anything, I will leave it short and say that this show was extraordinarily beautiful. The soundtrack, the cinematography, the message- the beauty of it all is unforgettable. Every moment between our loved ones runs on a clock, and it that clock is controlled by fate. Is it the question of when, or the confidence in forever? The happiness shown in this series was poetic. It was obvious who Ton's true love was, but he was also given a second choice- a perfect choice- which made his true love all the more beautiful. The beauty in love, the beauty in choice, the beauty in sacrifice, and the pain of it all. Enjoy, smile, feel what you're meant to feel.

THE LOW RATING IS CRIMINAL!

omg the low rating for this is criminal! just because it doesn't have your favorite ship doesn't mean it's not good! I admit from the first two episodes it seems like just another bl in a sea of bls, but if you stick with it you will not regret it! It is a beautiful work of art, yes it's got some bad "comedy" towards the end, but you can just ignore it. One of the best BLs of 2025 and I don't say that lightly. Must watch! The lead is adorable and such a great actor, he's taking the best actor award for me this year. And the chemistry between him and the Taiwanese guys is great! Such a beautiful and unique story. A+++

Hello? Get the screamer and squealer to take a little more acting class? Do you take everyone to act? Not that she has no idea about acting, but like God and a hatter
Somo? HORRIBLE!

Ton too the boy has nothing to do with acting.

English? Take a little more English classes if you want to use English in the series, because it's terrible to listen to.
English is not sung like Thai
