ChermChey

And it just keeps getting worse

Ep 5 Addition: This series was really just thrown out there. Watching the latest episode started out much the same as the previous 4, but then about 13minutes in things just got weird. The song choice during In and Ernge's date was a Christian Vacation Bible School song based on Romans 8:28. I'm just really having a hard time at this point not finding every single ridiculous thing that went into this series irritating. I hate that I hate so much about this because I really wanted to love it for the sake of the author and the cast.

Ep 1-4 Review: I have seen people attempt to defend this series as "art". Well sure, I have a camera and am myself capable of creating "art". But this is a far cry from GOOD art. And it's really unfortunate because, much like Ai Long Nai, the novel by Nattakorn is fantastic while the screenwriting totally bombs. I've even had a soft spot for TutorYim since Cutie Pie and have been waiting for them to get a good series. Am I going to finish this series? Absolutely because the novel and the actors are great and if you have read it you can still follow along, but you may not be thrilled with it.

want to see the actors in something else

Overall: Tutor & Yim deserved better. 10 episodes about 40 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/7399/chermchey-2026-e01

Content Warnings: intimate partner violence (not between the leads), violence/punches, blood, episode 4 4:40-7 a flashing light

What I Like
- Tutor & Yim
- caring moments
- color grading
- that he said he was willing to try in episode 2

Room For Improvement
- no idea why they went with an over the top comedy but the sound effects were terrible and it didn't work as a comedy (the color grading made it seem like it would be dramatic)
- constantly cutting out before NC scenes when we all know Tutor and Yim would be amazing
- the bottle hit was a bit much in ep 1
- when a character said he was hit by his then boyfriend the response was "why didn't you fight back"
- a character told his boyfriend not to wear low cut shirts or short shorts
- cringey wand thing
- did not care at all about the ex boyfriend and his new love interest plot

I have never seen greater stupidity in my life!

Earlier I watched some series from COPY A BANGKOK and I realized that all the scenes are terrible, I don't know why I watched this one, because it proved that there is no quality, that the conversations are terribly uninteresting and nebulous, The plot does not exist, the introduction, elaborations, everything is missing, the actors seem to have left kindergarten. Bottom line: waste of money.

The only thing I would "kill" from the c*ck of this nice little skinny Tutor Koraphat Lamnoi. And this Yim Prarinyakorn Kansawa better go fishing, he has no connection with acting.

Unique, quirky and hilarious

I think this show is just so unique, quirky and really hilarious. It clearly is not the typical, run of the mill BL where an "overly cute and shy university boy falls for a super hot, rich guy" or a story that feels like "pure cotton candy" and I like that about it. Even though it is super quirky, it actually feels realistic in a lot of ways, I know not every couple is so unique or quirky, but some really are. Both of the main characters have this kind of confidence in their weird personalities, but they totally embrace their uniqueness, and they complement each other so well. I am sure some people might find it a bit too over the top or think that it is not "cute" in the traditional sense, but that is what I actually like about this show. I also think that the cinematography looks gorgeous and has its own distinct vibe that really matches the tone of the show. It is different, and I personally like this vibe.

What can I say? I really enjoyed this series because it felt a little different from the usual. That made it stand out even more.

I'm also a big fan of Tutor and Yin, so seeing them together again was definitely a bonus. I really hope we'll get to see more projects with them in the future. 🤍✨

Unwatchable

I dont think i ever rated something this low. I kept hearing about this show so i got my hopes up. I kept hoping it gets better but only 3 episodes in, i had to ask myself: why i am i forcing myself to watch this? Why am i wasting my time?
I think only very young people could watch this and maybe someone who didnt see a lot of BL and doesnt have any standards for a decent show.
Plot is weird, if there is any. 2 guys meet and end up in bed. One wants to take it seriously, fair play to him. Other claims he doesnt but want the other guy to treat him like a princess. By ep 3 they're not dating but he gets introduced to a whole family for what reason? And then asked to be in a relationship in front of a whole family?? And the answer is.. hmm let me think.
Yim character is so annoying. Acting is so bad, looks like just bunch of random sentences put together for a scrip, and made for short TT clips or something. Very disappointing, dont waste your time

Knowing the Multiverse Makes It Even Better

As a film teacher, I taught Christopher Nolan's "Memento" for years. What most people don't know about this seminal film is that his brother, Jonathon, wrote a companion short story to the film. Both the film and the short story act as standalone pieces, but when placed in juxtaposition, a third narrative appears that has you questioning your interpretations of the film and short story.

ChermChey, while obviously nowhere near the cinematic and literary masterpieces of both Nolans' works, may act in just the same way: taken out of the universe it lives in, the series seems to be a rather "pointless" slice-of-life narrative piece that is kind of a "love it" or "leave it" situation. But ChermChey is connected to Love Upon a Time and Khemjira, and when you have that knowledge, ChermChey is a ten episode long "happily ever after" for two seemingly "throw away" characters from Love Upon a Time. I am loathe to say more than that as I don't want to spoil either show. For anyone interested, I can make the case for the three dramas existing in the same universe.

Even without putting ChermChey firmly where it belongs in the "LUAT/Khemjira" universe, I thoroughly enjoyed the chemistry and interplay between the two male leads. This show was definitely "conflict-lite" and redemption arcs for the only conflict that did appear were unearned. ChermChey was an overall "pointless" story- which I think is the point. It was a little underwritten, so I don't think that Erng's central internal conflict really had defined moments that built towards a personal epiphany (i.e. obvious character growth that was shown, celebrated, and earned). But even with its flaws, I enjoyed what was there- showing how two characters crash into each other with abandon (thinking it's a one night stand so no need to filter oneself) only to have to pull back when they realize this connection may actually have a shot of enduring after the sun has come up.

I can see this becoming a comfort drama, owing to its "conflict-lite" nature. Sometimes it's comforting to watch the evolution of a quirky relationship- to feel the warmth the actors brought to their characters and how that warmth seeped towards the other person. Much is lost in translation (I fear) with their bantering, which I think may be why the international audience is missing some of the witticism of the show.

Overall, I enjoyed it for what it was (both as a standalone piece and as part of a larger narrative universe). In fact, once I made the connection to Love Upon a Time, my appreciation for the small details in ChermChey increased. If you like slice-of-life, give this one a shot.

An effort to cover up the bad plot with NCs. No amount of dmd actors can save this one.

I didn't have much expectations from this cz the trailer itself didn't seem wow and it had tutoryim in it. Knowing their previous records i think BOW was their best series which was average and i had to force myself to finish it. Not gonna do that again i am dropping this one😅😅 i shouldn't hv doubted the comments and tried it out. They're not lying.

- When the episode started i thought Yim had this badass character compared to the nerd character we usually see but then once he met tutor that changed🙄 he went back to his usual.
- the ex's punch is barely visible. Who the hell did the makeup😆 i was looking for the bruise for a while
- the entire meeting between the 2 feels odd and weird not like fated or anything barely any spark
- when the hell did tutor even fall for yim? Like i didn't see it not even in that weird fight they had when they met
- yim's character was supposed to be someone hurt by his ex but it looked like he didn't care at all he's hooking up the day after breakup🙄 n with a stranger who he told can't be his fated partner
- Tutor looks rich??? Bro looks like a broke teacher or writer. The styling is off or confusing i am not sure.
- the background noises were overused like every 2 sec there's a ting

Overall there's nothing i liked felt like they just used NC n some dirty slangs to cover up the terrible plot. Even the next episode preview served nothing. I thought I'd watch it cz i saw badass yim and jimmyohm but no this is pure torture😅. Someone needs to get them better stories. I wasted an hour with this.

Tontonan yang ringan, tolong gausah dibawa serius..

Ku tonton series ini karena lagi seneng2 nya sama TutorYim. Gegara mereka jadi cameo di Love Upon a Time, aku kepoin lah series mereka kan, pas banget waktu itu episode 1 nya ChermChey udah tayang. Tontonlah, dan ternyata, wow! not bad, aku suka (banget) kalau dibandingin sama Middleman's Love atau Battle of the Writers. Oiya, sedikit ingfo, selama aku ngikutin ChermChey setiap pekan, sembari menunggu episode baru aku sambil nontonin Middleman's Love dan Battle of the Writers ya!! jadi penilaianku sudah berdasar. Hasilnya, ChermChey adalah series TutorYim yang terbaik, sejauh ini.

Standing point:
^LUCUUUU, wkwkwk full ketawa. Tingkah mereka beneran kayak ngga di-script dongg. sukak bgt actingnya natural syekalii.
^Background song disetiap Intro dan Outro. menurutku itu Fire AF as fck as F as fucek AFF. gilakk. had me dancing kayak ulet goyang di karpet alias asoyyy enak bgt coii.
^Guest role, Cameo, dan supporting character yg unik. Keng muncul dengan peran dia yang sama kayak di Khemjira! sukak bgt tapi kok perintilannya dia nggak dibawa huhuuu.
^Sinematografi nya bagusss banget. ini salah satu aspek yang ngga dipikirkan dan kurang diapresiasi sama ribuan orang di situs sampah ini. kalau Script-nyajelek yaudah lihatlah aspek mana yang bisa diapresiasi. Emang kadang2 situs ini penuh dgn org tolil bin delogok.
^NC scene yang ngga terlalu dilebih-lebihkan, at least better ini daripada yang di Battle of the Writers.
^Cultural appreciation (kuilnya cantik syekaliii).

Ruang untuk pembenahan:
- IYA YA TAU iyaaa, scriptnya. Plotnya udah bagus tapi apa ya yang bikin ini jd ada flaw nya..
- apa ya? ngga ada lagi.

apa ya, mungkin orang-orang butuh pil pereda kecenderungan terhadap demand tontonan yang over-perfect. kek- padahal kan kalian bisa nonton series ini ditengah-tengah tontonan series lain yang sekarang lagi ngetren series dengan karakter black flag/red flag. series dengan cerita yang sangat heavy, lagi ngetren kan? disaat semua series lagi berlomba-lomba buat jadi yang terpaling perfect, series ini hadir sebagai "buffer", sebagai penengah, sebagai penetralisir. Seharusnya kehadiran series seperti ChermChey bisa lebih diapresiasi lagi karena effort productionnya ngga kaleng-kaleng, yah walaupun dalam artian lain DMD ni kesannya kayak men-abandoned TutorYim, paham gak sih? Kenapa series2 nya TutorYim selalu di-handle antara kerjasama 2 agensi?. DMD ga niat nih ngurus artisnya, cuihhh.

Sekian, damai, cium, muahh (harus ku terjemahin soalnya isi review ku banyak kebencian kepada pengguna platform ini hehehe, harus dianonimkan!)

sekian salam rodok rodok (becandaa).

Nada com nada

Até gostei do primeiro episódio, mas, conforme os episódios foram passando, percebi que a história não parecia saber para onde queria ir, o roteiro me pareceu perdido. Senti que a história estava indo rápido demais com eles com juras de amor em tão pouco tempo, mas também senti que se estendia demais em coisas desnecessárias.

O tom de comédia que resolveram utilizar também não é muito do meu gosto. Senti mais vergonha alheia do que diversão, então várias cenas que provavelmente eram para ser engraçadas simplesmente não funcionaram para mim.

Os protagonistas, Intha e Eung, pareciam personagens bem pra frentex, mas senti que eles mais ladravam do que mordiam, sabe? Viviam se provocando e fazendo insinuações um para o outro, mas raramente isso realmente levava a algo a mais. Dito isso, não consigo nem me lembrar de um beijo decente deles. Sei que há defensoras de que beijo não é tudo e, dependendo da temática da obra, eu poderia até entender. Mas estamos falando aqui de dois personagens adultos e aparentemente vividos, em uma história que acompanha justamente o romance e o cotidiano deles.
Eu não fazia questão de cenas íntimas, mas pelo menos um beijo em que eu olhasse e pensasse "nossa, que beijo bonito" era o mínimo. E nem digo "bonito" no sentido sexual da coisa, mas sim um beijo que passasse sentimento e romantismo. Eles chegaram a se lamber, mas beijar que era bom... nada que eu me lembre.

Os outros personagens e casais secundários foram um grande tanto faz. Se apareceram em dois episódios seguidos, foi muito. Não consegui criar simpatia por praticamente ninguém.

O bar do Eung, em que o Intha se tornou sócio, era para ser meio que a liga e o centro da história. Mas o bendito nem começou a funcionar e já foi jogado de escanteio de novo.

A trama do ex e do namorado também me incomodou bastante. Os dois foram extremamente tóxicos, cometeram crimes praticamente, para no final se perdoarem e ainda serem perdoados como se nada tivesse acontecido.

Mas é isso mesmo. Acho que, para quem gosta muito dos atores ou quer assistir a uma história com a cabeça mais desligada, talvez funcione melhor. Não foi para mim. Acabei empurrando com a barriga até o final... e preciso parar com essa mania.

feelings

- mình đã khá mong chờ phim vì đây là dự án của TutorYim do couple này ít phim đóng chính nữa. Nhưng có vẻ cty kh chú trọng đầu tư cho couple này lắm

- diễn xuất thì với TutorYim thì diễn xuất khỏi phải bàn rùi, nhưng riêng về phần nhân vật thì mình thấy không hợp hình tượng 2 bạn lắm … đấy là cá nhân mình cảm giác thui. Vì theo như lời thoại nói nhân vật Earng là người to con không nhỏ con dễ thương, nhưng khi đứng với Bom =)) dù Earng có hình xăm nhưng nhìn vẫn có tí tẹo à. Nhưng tuy vậy, riêng về nội dung tâm linh thì mình thấy khá hợp với 2 bạn, do từ phim cutie pie 2 bạn cũng đóng nhân vật thiên về tâm linh nên qua phim này vẫn hợp, chỉ có cái hình tượng nhân vật mình thấy chưa hợp lí

-Nội dung phim : mình khá thích cái kiểu kể về cuộc sống tình cảm của 2 người mỗi ngày, nó chân thực. Nhưng mình tiếc là nó chưa đủ để nổi bật phim ý kiểu chưa có nhiều điểm nhấn

- Điểm cộng lớn của phim là healing, kiểu được chữa lành cực lunn

* Nhưng dù sao đó cũng chỉ là quan điểm cá nhân của mình, mong khi bạn đọc xong bạn vẫn sẽ tự mình trải nghiệm , xem phim và nhận xét theo quan điểm của bạn
