Lately, It's Winter Season (2026)

By far the weakest arc!

This had so much potential, but as usual with thai shows, they just botched it. This arc had it especially not easy, because it was the last, but we saw so much of it in Part 1. When you know you will film all arcs of the novel, you should have started with THIS arc. Why? Because it starts at highschool and then fades into university. So the first 5 episodes don't belong into Part 2, they should have been in Part 1 at the beginning. Yes we would have been left hanging but it would have made much more sense.

Instead we get a time jump of three years in this arc which feels strange. And it just happens by accident that Mr. Mafia Boy confesses and that at the end of episode 6. They had the mafia subplot and Mr. Mafia boy did kill someone - no consequences - because it's Mafia I suppose. His then not boyfriend did not ask and Mr. Mafia Boy did not explain. Also no real explaination what the family really did, besides having a 08/15 cartoonish evil dad who had the decency to die without fuzz before causing more problems. As usual we have a not really gay but gay brother who is the same as Mr. Mafia Boy and then we have even one more couple which has not much screen time at all and they should have because the main story dragged on for too long.

They could have done something more with the mafia arc, but no. I have no clue if the novel is more exciting but this was not it. The order was wrong, the interactions with North & Johann are too short, Easter and Hill were not seen at all.

So for a standalone it was ok, but for the big picture of both season this arc did not work well. The actors were good for the most parts, the production was on a high level but the story is missing the kick to make it exciting.

Fourever Final Part Review: Cute, Light, and Worth the Slow Burn

The final part of Fourever did not disappoint. Across almost 40 episodes over both seasons, the story wrapped up in such a cute and satisfying way. Set in a high school setting with a friends to lovers storyline, the series balances light romance, family drama, and emotional moments really well. Pie as Tiger and Golf as Nao are adorable together, and their chemistry had me hooked from the very beginning.

Tiger, the lonely youngest son of a powerful and wealthy family, first meets Nao during football tryouts. While Tiger grows up surrounded by arguments and pressure, Nao comes from a poor but loving family that always feels warm and welcoming. I really liked how the drama showed that money cannot buy happiness. Tiger would rather spend his time relaxing with Nao on a small couch than stay alone in his giant mansion, and those moments made their relationship feel genuine and comforting.

How ironic that in one family, the older brother is completely oblivious, while in the other, the younger brother is the one who cannot see what is right in front of him.
Singha has had Ben by his side for years. A loyal bodyguard, a constant shadow, a man who has quietly loved him for more than a decade. Yet Singha remains utterly clueless, never realizing that Ben's devotion runs far deeper than duty.

Then there is Tiger, who has spent more than six years loving Nao. And somehow, Nao is just as hopelessly unaware. The funny part is that everyone else can see it. North, clumsy as he is, took one look across a soccer field and immediately understood Tiger's feelings. Nao's own twin brother knows. Practically the entire world seems to know except Nao himself.

So we end up with this amusing parallel: in the mafia family, the older brother is the oblivious one, while in the other family, the younger brother is equally blind to the truth. Two different stories reflecting each other in the most chaotic way.

The only part that feels a little hard to believe is how quickly someone who has always considered himself straight suddenly starts trying to navigate feelings for his best friend after a confession. For years, girls were the ones he noticed, the ones he thought were cute. Then his best friend confesses, and now he is genuinely considering dating him. It is a dramatic shift, though feelings and self-discovery can sometimes be far more complicated than people expect.

Still, that is part of what makes the story entertaining. Between Singha being oblivious to Ben's decade-long love and Nao somehow missing six years of Tiger's devotion, this felt like a double episode built entirely on beautiful, ridiculous cluelessness.
The slow burn romance was done so well, making every small interaction between them feel meaningful. Along with the school setting, athlete male lead storyline, flashbacks to the past, and touches of mafia family drama, the series still keeps a fun and soft atmosphere without becoming too heavy.

Overall, this is a cute and entertaining BL that is easy to watch and enjoy. The romance feels natural, the emotional moments hit well, and Tiger and Nao completely carried the series for me. Definitely one of the more enjoyable light BLs
