OMG Kill me now rant!
I can't believe I have dragged myself through 8 episodes of this awful series.Everything about this series is bad.
The story keeps shifting in time and in the beginning makes no sense at all.
The acting is wooden and atrocious. Maybe it's all that botox, and plastic surgery, but neither actor seem able to actually change their facial expressions at all, so whatever the scene is their faces look exactly the same.
People say these two have chemistry?!? Umm what, when, show me, cause I didn't see an ounce of chemistry in this or their previous series (which was equally bad).
As for the terrible plot. No just no. Who falls back in love with someone who has ruined their life, their familes lives and their families business!!!!?!
No no no...Rant over.

Toxic but too much.. Unbelievable
I ubderstand that we eatch series to live in a fantasy world, and I was very excited for FortPeat to try something new, and I am hapoy for them. They did try something new and this script was good.However, Peat's acting was wanting. Fort did a good job. Ken, the antagonist, made us hate and question him, so he did a good job too, ig.
Peat was chasing, for a change, and that premise was good.
The problem was: TOO MUCH DRAMA, TOO MANY TWISTS, LOTS OF NEGATIVITY AND IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE. Peat's character was actually borderline psychopathic, it seemed.
And the script just keep on flowing uncontrollably, mindlessly like a river. Kelvin (Peat's character) just kept on going.
The problem was that the writers made him do every toxic thing that audience falls for... And they made him do all those actions.
They tried to recreate the Wicked Game but this show jusy turned out to be even more wretched than the Wicked Game, which was good and enjoyable till at least 8 episodes.
This one I could only continue watching because of my guilty pleasure: FortPeat. The NC scenes were good, a notch higher than Love Sea. The wine scene, especially, took my breath away and I had to pause a few times. Similarly, another scene where Vier gifts pyjama set to Kelvin.. My my!!
Overall, one can watch this if they have nothing else to watch and admire FortPeat's chemistry.
Sidenote: TOO MUCH MAKEUP. FORT LITERALLY LOOKED LIKE A DOLL. Dumb it down makeup team.

mentally ill ppl deserve love too
Ive seen an absurd amount of reviews headlining that kelvin's redemption arc was unnecessary. The response to Yesterday has proven once again that this generation of viewers lack the capacity to handle and appreciate complex characters. Kelvin has bipolar disorder, one google search should suffice in informing you about the condition - unstable sense of self, distorted view on reality, inability to regulate emotions, leading to intense mood swings that fuel abusive behavior towards oneself and others which in the moment does not register as abusive to the person with bipolar disorder.“I dont know how to love you” - ep 9 (39:30) to me just cements that Kevlin is unsure whether he has the ability to express his love to Vier in a healthy manner. Does he deserve to be forgiven? Yes absolutely, given his circumstances as well as if you stand in his shoes. Bankrupting Vier and his entire family in his pursuit of power was justified in HIS eyes because 1. Only then would he have avenged himself and his mother as well as achieve his goal 2. In his eyes, his power is Vier’s power therefore the more power he had the more he can give Vier. He held Vier hostage in a fit of rage, understandable bc if my fine shyt ran off for months id lose my mind and lock them up as soon as i saw them again. Was it right? No. Do I understand, hell yes. I think people are forgetting that after a while ( i believe on the 3rd day) he let him go after it clicked to him that just maybe Vier didn't appreciate being chained up and the attempted sexual assault. Vier choose to stay, they were living together and as deluded and sick Kelvin was he truly wanted the best for Vier (reference him getting Vier a psychiatrist). In the final ep everyone was quick to jump on the "Kelvin need to be punished" bandwagon without truly having some compassion. "When people truly love each other there are no mistakes, its about whether or not your willing to forgive" encapsulates the answers on why Vier acted towards Kelvin the way he did and honestly FortPeat did an amazing job. I wished there was less focus on the side couple and more focus on Vier and Kelvin but i truly appreciate the care and attention that was put into Kelvin's character and his relationship with Vier

Trigger warning for self-harm and non-consensual sex
This series can be very frustrating for the first 5 episodes because we go from the past to the future a LOT. A ridiculous amount, really. None of it is in chronological order, which makes the story more confusing than it needed to be. It's enough to make someone want to drop the series after an episode or two, but besides this, I felt like it was a solid series. The jumping from past to present pretty much stops by episode 6.The only other thing I didn't really like was the characters Ken and Lavid (Rawit) being so stupid. The dads are just as bad. I'm not a fan of stupid characters or ones that lack common sense. I deal with that enough in my day-to-day life. It doesn't bother me to the point of mentioning it often, but Ken is literally out here helping run to companies (into the ground but still) and trying to outmaneuver Kelvin & Vier. It just didn't seem believable that either of the fathers would have given him any power to make company decisions. Lavid just doesn't have common sense.
The GL couple was really good, but it did feel like their scenes were filled with literal filler sometimes. Nana kicks ass! I love seeing a female character who can fight.
The OST was great, but for the main couple's NC scenes, it was a bit wild. In a good way. I was not expecting them to use those songs. Also, the kissing noises? I felt like I was intruding.
I loved the acting all around. Peat didn't have many facial expressions, but I don't think the role gave him much room to give that many. I could tell Fort was really enjoying this role, and his crying was captivating.
Non-consensual sex in episode 5? Not sure. The scene cuts off, but it hints at it, so right now I'm going with yes.
There are several scenes where Kelvin hurts himself and has a panic attack. I'm assuming it was a panic attack since I don't know what else it could have been, but it was very tame in comparison to the ones I've had. As for hurting himself, Kelvin cuts himself a lot in the months after he and Vier go their separate ways, and Peat's response, the relief he gets from doing it, is accurate to how it actually feels when you cut yourself. How do I know? I've done it before when I was feeling very stressed and was in an environment that I had no control over, and it was a way of getting things to slow down so I could breathe. Don't worry I haven't done it in years, and I'm mentally in a much better place. The point is, it was realistic.
This show would be interesting to rewatch now that I have all the pieces to the story.

I just had to write a review for this series!
Honestly, this series was amazing. The acting, the soundtrack, and the cinematography were all so amazing. With each episode, I was on the edge of my seat, and my jaw kept dropping lower and lower. To me, I felt that it was kinda hard to really fully predict how it would end, and I love that as I was in suspense all the way. I was hooked from the beginning, and there were times when I didn't feel like continuing, but somehow it kept me interested till the finale.With FortPeat as the MLs, I was already instantly drawn to this show since they are such an explosive pairing. Their acting was phenomenal; they really carried the series. Their chemistry is undeniable, unmatched, unbeatable. The raw feel of everything they portrayed was so fucking good. They've improved so much since their LITA days, especially Peat.
Peat should really get an award for his acting in this series since he played his role so damn well. The way he went from innocent and naive to a crazy, obsessed psycho was terrifying. The naunce of his expressions throughout the series was remarkable. He acted so well that in some scenes, you really can't tell what he's thinking/feeling, which makes his psycho role even more convincing.
I personally think Fort already performed quite well in LITA, but he has shown nothing but improvement since those days, and his acting in this series was just chef's kiss. He played his role so well in terms of the emotions he evoked in the audience. His acting throughout the series just felt very real, very natural, and it really tugs at your heartstrings.
This show was really different to what FortPeat have done before, and it highlighted just how versatile they are as actors. In LITA and Love Sea, there was definitely a lot of trauma and toxicity, but they were much milder compared to this series. This series was just so intense in the best way, and I was on a roller coaster of emotions every few scenes. It's dark, twisted, and angsty, which is a nice contrast to the childish/cute tropes in other BLs over the years. I hope they get more different and crazier roles in the future, as they're just overflowing with talent.
There were a shit ton of red flags in this show. The lying, the betrayal, the manipulation, the kidnapping, the assaults and torture. In reality, if anyone went through what Veir did, there's no way in hell they would be able to forgive Kelvin. Especially the part where Kelvin indirectly caused Lalit's (Veir's best friend) death.
Kelvin crossed the boundaries way too many times, and the stuff he did was honestly unforgivable. Yes, he eventually realised he did wrong, and he reflected on his actions, but it doesn't justify a damn thing. Later on in the series, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression, so maybe he kept flicking back and forth from being "normal" to psycho because of his condition(?). With that said, it still doesn't justify his actions as he really crossed the line.
At one point, he was just obsessed with Veir; it wasn't love anymore. He "branded" Veir's forehead to claim him as his, so nobody else would want him. He held him captive and chained him up like a fucking pet. He controlled everything Veir did and followed him everywhere. But, somehow, Veir was able to forgive this motherfucker at the end. He confessed that he still loves him and has never stopped loving him. What the actual fuck? Both of them are legit insane, so they're perfect for each other, I guess.
I appreciate the fact that there was a GL side couple that was actually well-written this time, and they added depth and harmony to the series, unlike in Love Sea, where it was absolutely unnecessary and annoying. I like that the writer didn't make the females out to be villains or love rivals, as in every other BL.
Lalin is an independent and smart woman who was eventually rewarded due to her hard work and perseverance. Nana is a badass who knows how to kick ass and protect those she loves. I felt their pairing was really nice, and they had great chemistry. Both of them also acted well.
The rest of the cast also acted pretty damn well. There were little to no scenes where I felt that it was too cringey or fake, maybe except for the over-the-top shouting or laughing like a maniac sometimes.
The whole plot was quite convoluted at times, especially with all the time skips and flashbacks/memories. There were also inconsistencies or times when it felt like something was missing. Like the scene when Nana was angry with Lalin in EP 7, and why Nana felt like she couldn't trust her. I felt the context could have been elaborated more to make the audience fully understand why Nana said what she said to Lalin. This may be due to footage being cut (?) since EP 7 was substantially shorter than the other EPs. It felt like there were missing pieces to the series, and I wish we could have been given an even clearer storyline so it was easier to keep up with.
The plot of corrupted father CEOs, the half-sibling rivalry, and the fight to become the heir of the company was all pretty cliché. It was done well enough to not make me feel sick of watching it, but it wasn't anything too special or different. It was definitely not as intense and cringey as in 'The Wicked Game' though (*No hate to DaouOffroad, love them down, but the script they got was genuinely pretty ass).
The final scene, when Rawit found Ken, then the screen just faded to black, pissed me the fuck off. Why did it end like that? It was so inconclusive and left the audience on a cliffhanger. I get that they ended it like that to keep us wanting more, but why!! Also, how and why is Ken not jailed? He literally committed so many crimes and murdered Likhit (evidence was found too), but he's just out and about, enjoying his freedom. He technically lost everything, since he has no power or money anymore, so how is he able to evade the police so damn well? I hope there's a season two or at least a special episode, or I'll feel so incomplete.
Overall, the series was different from what FortPeat have done, and I really enjoyed it. The acting from the MLs and the side couple were solid. The storyline was interesting and fresh to me, though confusing and cliché at times. I would definitely rewatch this series, and it's now my Top 3 BLs of 2026. So glad that FortPeat worked on this together, wouldn't want any other couple to play it because they just wouldn't match their level.

Powerplay and forgiveness
This was a great drama, it's nice for a change to have a drama that is not all fluffyness. And don't get me wrong, i love those, but something else once in a while is very welcome. The story was great, the only thing that bothered me a bit was the time shifts, they were a little bit confusing. That's why i gave it a 9/10.The action scenes were very good. And it's very cool to see a girl wo can fight and good too!
The visuals were stunning and the music good.
Great acting by all the actors and amazing acting by Peat, he played all the moods perfectly, scared, lovesick, ruthless, devistated every single one was portrayed perfect.
Fort and Peat have amazing chemistry and their kiss/intimate scenes are perfect.
The girl couple had great chemistry too and the kissing scene in the pool was hot.
Definatly a must watch!

Messy but not bad
At first, I didn’t really like this drama. But after watching a few episodes, it started to grow on me, so I decided to continue.The plot is quite good and keeps you interested, but I still feel like something is missing. I can’t exactly point out what it is, but maybe it has to do with the way certain scenes are built or presented—it feels a bit messy at times.
As for the acting, everyone did a solid job. I didn’t notice anyone underperforming, which is definitely a plus.
One thing that confused me was the masked man at the end—I couldn’t figure out who he was.
Overall, it’s not the best drama I’ve watched, but it’s still worth watching if you’re curious.

Better than expected but for the wrong reasons.
I started it thinking I'm definitely going to be disappointed with something, mostly the story or the pace, and in the second episode I was so confused about the one year ago Vs Chiang Mai Vs present and sometimes in present 6 hours ago .... I mean wtf!? The jumping in timeline is supposed to make us excited or at least intrigued about what is going to happen, alas it didn't, it just made us more confused and in another time I would have skipped or dropped it but I'm kinda glad I stuck to it~~First the story: I liked it for the different reason, not because it was a BL nor because of the chemistry between the leads, I just loved the whole psychological idea about Love Vs Power and how when obsession and mental issues are thrown in the mix it made everything too complicated.
This is probably the first drama that halfway through it I don't wish for a happy end.
I genuinely wished Veir and Kelvin wouldn't be together, because of the amount of pain and hurt Kelvin has inflicted on Veir.
And I understand he had his redemption arc but still I couldn't like him as much, I accept the ending but let's say, if it was a more realistic end, I'd like it more ~~
Characters are slightly odd, we have fathers that literally hate their kids lol why, no idea, and the way Veir was not so kidnapped by Kelvin, like why don't you just leave, mate? And maybe call the cops or ask you father for help!! Just do something!! Why are you willingly staying with someone so f**ed up in the head like that, and don't please don't give me the "he loves him" reason cause I'll literally puke!!
As I mentioned also, I wasn't much of a fan of Kelvin but I like how they made him bipolar and depressed also let's not forget the childhood trauma and daddy issues that he has, I mean with a mixture like that it's kinda understandable what he did, on the other hand, the way the let Veir so forgiving and - for a playboy- a hopeless romantic, it didn't make any sense.
Also I chose to write this review after watching the special episode, and despite skipping most of it, I admire the fact that Kelvin asked Veir why did he fall for him? And why is he so nice and forgiving?
Unfortunately, the writer gave us the right questions, but not the right answers!! Wth Veir? Your answers doesn't make any sense, if you had simply said "that's what the director instructed" I'd have accepted that more, but to give us no reason that would make us understand your selfless behaviour towards someone who tricked you, hurt you, kidnapped you, and was the main cause for your BFF death, not to mention causing your dad's company to go bankrupt, and guilt-trap trick you... I can go on btw ~~ this gotta be the worst Stockholm syndrome story ever ~
Overall, I loved the psychological mix, but the overall execution had so many flaws and things that I didn't like, however I have to be fair and say that I enjoyed this show so I rated it higher than I thought I would ~~

This didn't do it for me. ?
I love Fort and Peat in almost anything they act in but this series squandered their talents. It was confusing, it jumped all over the place and I blame the directing on this. Fort and Peat are too talented to have been chosen for this series. I won't suggest no one else not watch this because whoever watches it next might like it but this just wasn't it for me. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either and I feel there was a great big opportunity missed here to make the series better, especially with Fort and Peat at the helm.Was this review helpful to you?
I only get through this mess for Peat and Fort.
PLOT: Kelvin, the legitimate son of Kapath, CEO of the King Group, is being exploited by his father for the benefit of his illegitimate son Ken. Veir, heir of the VPG Group, helps Kelvin get out of this mess, and they have a one-night stand. Veir then helps Kelvin create his own hotel, they rekindle a romantic relationship, Kelvin takes power in the King Group, but he betrays Veir by allying himself with his rival. VPG is ruined, Kelvin kills Lalit (Veir's assistant). Veir hides in Chiang Mai for a year (helping Nana) but when he went back, is kidnapped by Kelvin.+++ Peat and Fort in CL. Fort is handsome and charismatic, while Peat once again portrays someone mentally unstable, even psycho (a role he's certainly talented at, but it would be nice if he tried something else). However, it must be said that they still have incredible chemistry.
WHO wrote the script? He/she deserves the award for worst screenplay ever written! ヾ (✿>﹏ ⊙〃)ノ
### The ridiculous twists keep piling up, the behavior is idiotic... Wow!
### The timeline is completely messy (with multiple unexplained, erratic time jumps) ---- To maintain suspense? It failed!
### The makeup on the two leads is way too heavy (especially in the final with the dyed hair LOL): they look like idols, not CEOs :)
=> I like FortPeat, but please, Give them better scripts!
*************************************************
I get through this dark mess only for Peat and Fort
PLOT: Kelvin, fils légitime de Kapath CEO du gpe King, est exploité par son père au profit de son fils illégitime. Veir, héritier du gpe VPG, aide Kelvin à se sortir de ce guêpier et ils ont 1 one-night-stand. Veir aide ensuite Kelvin à créer son propre hôtel, ils renouent une relat° romantique, Kelvin prend le pouvoir ds le gpe King, mais il trahit Veir en s'alliant avec son concurrent. VPG est ruiné, Kelvin tue Lalit (assistant de Veir). Veir se cache à Chang Mai pdt 1 an (aide Nana) mais il est kidnappé par Kelvin.
+++ Peat et Fort en CL. Fort est beau, charismatique, Peat incarne ici encore qq1 d'instable mentalement, voire psycho (rôle pr lequel il a un talent certain, mais ce serait bien qu'il essaie autre chose. Cpdt, il faut reconnaître qu'ils ont tjs une alchimie incroyable.
QUI a écrit le script ? Il/elle mérite l'award du pire scénario jamais écrit ! ヾ (✿>﹏ ⊙〃)ノ
### Les twists ridicules s'enchainent, les comportements débiles ... Wahouuuu
### Time line complètement messy (avec de multiples sauts dans le temps inexpliqués, erratiques) ---- Pour maintenir le suspense ? C'est raté !
### Le make-up des 2 leads est trop trop lourd (surtt ds le final avec les cheveux teints LOL) : ils ressemblent à des idols, pas à des CEO :)
=> J'aime FortPeat, mais de grâce, donnez-leur de meilleurs scénarios !

A different BL everyone who like variety in stories must watch!
Loved the acting, they deserve all the applause! The storyline is well done, made to confuse us, makes us wonder till next episode for what happens next, This bl is unique, for its story, for the way its not about focus on their love & intimate life as the main thing but on the full story of two men and how their life goes on as ceos of two big businesses while dealing with mental health and wrong decisions and how love plays a part in it.The direction could have made it even more amazing while the acting, the cinematography, costumes everything are well done.
I will be rewatching once the show is done!

Yesterday (2026) – Episode 10
A brutal but meaningful finale that proves love can reshape even the most broken person.This final episode delivers intense emotional payoff without losing its dark tone. The life-and-death situation forces Kelvin to confront everything he has done, while Weir’s unwavering love becomes the turning point of the story.
What makes this ending powerful is that it’s not simply about redemption, but about transformation. Kelvin doesn’t suddenly become a “good person” — he finally learns what it means to love and be loved.
Fort and Peat both exceeded expectations here. Peat’s performance is consistently strong, but Fort especially shows a deeper range than in previous works.
It’s heavy, painful, and not always comfortable to watch, but the emotional resolution feels earned.
A dark love story with a satisfying, yet bittersweet closure.
