ChermChey

Unique love

This was a fantastic series about two people who struggled to keep a relationship due to their unique personalities. Erng was told by partners he was weird, unattractive and fat. Intha was criticized by his devotion to his religion, his unique family dynamic, and coarse language.
Finding each other and accepting each other while falling in love was done well. We were on a journey through their relationship, their devotion to each other no matter the circumstances, and being by each other's side no matter what.
It's rare to see this in reality, let alone in series. Usually we're seeing perfect couples falling for each other, or the beauty and the less beautiful trope.
However here we see two imperfect people finding each other and genuinely loving each other.
I will definitely rewatch this one!

No depth

TutorYim have excellent chemistry, and I've liked them as a pairing ever since Cutie Pie. I really think they deserve a series with a stronger storyline. Thankfully, their upcoming DMD projects already look much more interesting.

As for ChermChey, the story itself isn't something that completely pulls you in. It's mostly about In and Erng's domestic relationship, which is cute and heartwarming, though I found some moments a bit cringe. The cameos were fun and definitely added excitement, but they felt more like fan service than something that pushed the story forward.

I guess my expectations were just higher because ChermChey is set in the same circle as AiNhai and TonChon, both of which I genuinely enjoyed. In the end, it's a light and comforting watch, but I was hoping for a story with a little more depth.

Not much more to say than ok.

I fell in love with TutorYim in 2022 when Cutie Pie was airing and I didn't really feel like watching this while it was airing and saved it for later so here I am. I was so scared when I opened it and saw copy a Bangkok.... For people who don't know, copy a Bangkok often has extreme NC and sometimes no plot and just straight up p/rn. I hate that. It ruins many shows.Like Playboyy and Peach Lover tried to have a plot but... yeah. Honestly, I was immediately scared. Should I have been scared? Idk..

I normally like these type of drama's and one specific romance genre like starting a small shop or just in general a business. It starts messy but that's nice. The whole ex thing was done quite well but it was a little too early in the series to actually feel along, this is something I normally have and I'm not changing my rating on this. The whole business was a big mess. It seemed like the bar was far from ready to open and then all of the sudden everything was done while it felt like they never really worked on it.

About the NC, I'm not a big fan. Honestly, no hate to TutorYim but if they really wanted to add this much NC they should've used a different pair. TutorYim's boundaries seem to not like too much explicit content and I can 100% get that. But the NC felt like it was lacking. I don't watch series for the NC but this just caught me off guard. They keep talking and teasing each other about it but the actual thing is 1 kiss and then quickly a jump in the future. Some scene's didn't even feel like they did something because the skip was SO fast.

I hate to say it but there is too much romance. Like 0 drama and everything between Intha and Oeng seems to be going extremely well. I love how healthy they are but at some point it started to just bore me. It felt like that fire was added to make it a bit less boring but there was no fire damage at all and it was fixed immediate?? Also, the ex only came back like 6 times and even that wasn't serious.

Yim plays a characters I've not seen him previously do. He seems way more masculine and less 'shy' or his usual 'innocent' role. Holy shit I liked that extremely. Also I never noticed he has quite some muscle, it looks so good on him. I really hope he will get a similar role in the future. As for Tutor, he kinda had the same role as before. I was soooo surprised that they added Buddhism again and I'm so happy about it!! It really reminded me of cutie pie and it just made me happy.

Domundi is fucking peak lately and they just keep releasing more and more good series, to the point where everything is just better and I need to be honest, I switched from being a Gmmtv fan boy to a Domundi boy. The DWY refrences AND khemjira?! Yes this made me sooo happy. I loved seeing master Peem again and can't wait until the Khemjira special episodes. Do I suggest watching it? Meh. It just really has to be your type of series. I do see people hate on this more than I expected.

Why did I finish this?

Because I apparently have nothing better to do than watch brain rot.

First off, I watched this series because I love Tutor and Yim & was excited for them to get another series. Goodness, this series was a disappointment. I couldn't finish The Middleman's Love & I think it was better than this series. At least they looked like they were having fun filming this train wreck of a series. Why have the 2 DMD series that I've either disliked or DNF'd been their series? I love this couple! They deserve a good series.

The acting was fine, while everything else was garbage. Not counting the music, because I didn't pay attention to it, I barely paid attention to the show. I watched it at 2x speed & it still felt like a slog to get through. Not helped by the fact that the script & translations weren't good, Yim's character was cringy, & there wasn't a plot to be found.

It was mostly the lack of plot that bothered me & in the summary they make it seem like the bar is going to be a main focal point when, in reality, they barely have anything to do with it other than a mention here and there, & then it's only open for one episode before it's burned down. The drama around the ex-boyfriend and the bar being burned down was also handled with a snap of a finger. Why create drama if you're going to fix it without actually having to do anything? They don't even really explain half the connections between the characters.

Specking of characters, I'm convinced this was just a thrown-together series to give all these characters a guest role to play in while they are working in their other series. None of them served a purpose.

There were also way too many flashbacks & the series itself was too long. What was even the point of those last 2 episodes? They could have condensed the last 3 into one because nothing happened. To be honest, nothing happened in this series. What was the point of it?

The only thing I liked about this series was that it made me want to make a couples notebook with my next boyfriend. To be clear, I liked the idea; I didn't care for the last 10ish minutes of the show being snippets from the journal. That was a waste of time; it just went over things we had already seen.

As much as I love TutorYim, I can't recommend this show; it was completely pointless and wasn't even enjoyable to watch.

qual é o ponto

Eu tava super animada com essa serie por causa dos tutoryim e o primeiro ep foi mt interessante, mas tudo foi caminhando pra um roteiro que nao tem ponto, qual é o plot dessa serie? tudo parece ser só jogado lá sem nenhum intuito.
Os personagens me irritaram pq eles nao conseguem ter UMA conversa, eu sei q é de comedia mas pqp voces nao conseguem falar uma vez sequer sem fazer uma birrinha chata de ciúmes ou algo do tipo.
Eu sei q ah eles tao montando o bar juntos e se apaixonam dps do eng ter aquela decepção amorosa e tals mas tipo ??? e ai ??? apesar de nao ter cenas mt explícitas eles focam muito no sexo e nao é muito meu estilo de bl mas ok, so nao entendo oq a serie é sobre de verdade.
Falando sobre o ep do incendio, parece mais uma historia jogada onde o atual do ex do erng vem pra causa algum conflito pq eles nao tem conflitos reais ja que tudo parece uma brincadeira e todos os mal entendidos sao birras chatas.
Enfim decepcionou tava louca pra acabar e pulei muitas cenas.

obs: outra coisa que me irritou muito eles ficarem se chamando de marido e esposa, vsf é historia de 2 homens odeio quando eles fazem isso.

It's just a slice-of-life show, and that's it

It's a comedy slice-of-life show, and that's alright. Its production really reminds me of japanese bls, and so does the storyline. It's simple. Yet, it's kinda dull. As usual, TutorYim's acting are amazing. They're incredibly talented. Still, the narrative is just too weak. Once again, the production was there. Such a beautiful cinematography! But what's up with the script team having a beef with TutorYim? Of course I do understand that this show comes from a day-to-day basis, it is supposed to be easygoing and feel natural, but it doesn't mean it has to be this gray thing. Personally, I didn't have a problem with the ammount of NC scenes nor the sexual undertones of the whole show. I guess it's natural when they're a young and in love couple. Still, there were lots of other ways to go from it. See, in Battle of The Writers, all of the NC scenes felt so well-placed in the story. ChermChey's just feel random, that's the thing. Anyway, it's a comedy show, it's not supposed to be a really big deal. I wish TutorYim get to star a well written show, still. Also, something's worth thinking about is the way ChermChey was probably planned to be received by the audience weekly, considering the rhythm of the story. But, in a long term, that really sucks. Found Yim so cute in this series as a whole. Tutor's unbelievably beautiful with a blonde hair. They're so good.

Mid but not flat out awful. Just here for my babies, TutorYim

This might be the mediocre series I've watched this year, so far. The writing, the story and its pacing were not really at their best. The plot got thrown out of place. Scattered if u will call it that. Gotta be honest, TutorYim was just the saving grace of this series. The seriousness in scenes where their bar got burned and sabotaged was overlapped with loveydovey cheesy scenes and the sex scenes too. Hear me out, this is the series who first showed me TutorYim engage in sex scenes. Their previous series were just love but this one particularly branched their acting especially raking on mature roles and scenes. It's a comedic piece as a whole. I cant deny i was laughing at the absurd jokes and physical banter they have in this series. Need this if you're worn out of complicated storyline from other series. Not really their best so it wont be a rewatch series for me but i must say it kept me entertained for a long while. It never felt tiring for me to watch it. Neither this is a chore to watch. I know im not a fan of longer running time of each ep. Yes and that applies to series with episodes that exceeds 20 mins lol. They could've cut it down to like 25 mins and we're good. Nevertheless, this was a good entertaining watch for me. No hard feelings lol.

What was even the plot of this?

When I saw that GagaOOlala picked this one up I was excited because of TutorYim's sizzling chemistry on screen. And yet found myself very disappointed because I can't even remember if they kiss once and all we got was a brief dry-humping scene. Now let me be clear, I want NC scenes to add something to the plot or to the relationship dynamics (not just added for random spice) and with all the flirty and dirty talk that the characters kept going on about, they didn't deliver on it at all! There wasn't much plot-wise for this one, so they had the chance to make up for it with slice of life relationship building, which completely fell flat. Had to watch this on speed, and thus it's gonna be a low rating from me.

Amazing actors ? Poor edit

First: I absolutely adore Tutor and Yim and I think they are more talented than some of the more famous actors, though I'd never name names because that's cruel. This would have had a higher rating for me if it wasn't for the very awkward, bad cuts from obvious censoring. I would have loved it as a wholesome slice of life romance and I'd have loved it as a super spicy romance but it ended up being neither, just some strange spot between. The director it had and the fact it's freaking TutorYim who create some of the hottest nc scenes in all of BL means it was probably very hot and steamy and then got ripped apart in editing to make it suitable for a lower age rating and that kinda destroyed it. It was constant build ups and the delicious tension we're used to seeing from TutorYim but then awkward cut straight into the next scene as if you accidentally skipped it which made it anticlimactic over and over again. Again, its a slice of life and would have worked great as a wholesome, family friendly romance if thats what they'd wanted and id have loved that or it could have been a super spicy passionate romance setting our screens on fire and id have loved that. However, it seems like they filmed the latter and then tried to squeeze it into the former harder than the step sisters tried to squeeze into cinderellas glass slipper.

"Finding someone you like isn't hard; making a relationship last is the hard part."

Finally, a series with Tutor and Yim! And as always, they don’t disappoint, delivering such honest and genuine performances. I have to admit, this show really surprised me because it turned out to be way more than just a casual, throwaway series. It’s a sweet, lighthearted, and super fun slice-of-life with plenty of references to Thai culture and other shows.

Even though he had his heart broken over and over again, "Oeng" decides to give love one last shot and ends up meeting Intha. Considered unattractive and the size of a buffalo, all "Oeng" really wants is someone who looks past his physical appearance, someone who realizes that he wants to be spoiled, protected, and respected too, and just loved for who he is. And that’s when he meets Intha.

From there, we follow their day-to-day life as a couple. One of my favorite parts is when they write down little moments and reflections in a diary, and we get to watch their relationship grow. What started out as a one-night stand ends up turning into something much more lasting. The series comes full circle, ending right where it all started, on the temple steps where "Oeng" first laid eyes on Intha.
