Good, but could have been better
I was excited to see Maxky and Bas in something a bit lighter than Fourever You, but the oomph of chemistry was missing in this. There was too much time wasted on Praew's bet with Soh, almost a whole episode of pretend when that time could have been spent deepening the relationship between The33 and Soh, or even Arm and James.Soh did develop more self-esteem, but I just think by the end he should have been more confident and tad more agressive in his and Thr33's romantic interactions.
There was just a lot of unresolved plots that left an unsettled feeling. Who stole the bear head? Thr33?
If Ten is moving to Vietnam what happens with his relationship with Jack?
Why is the team not going to continue to play for the next year's championship?

A Good RomCom - for someone tired of Drama
It's silly tbh, but good one.I'm getting a second hand embarassment with Three.
As the story progress, it shows more than being just a romcom, but at the same time it stays it's good storyline.
Looking forward to watch more episodes.
If you got tired of drama, better watch this.
Also shows how Maxxy and Bas are great actors, as this is different from their past JohanNorth series, still they carry different characters so good.

Gunner Be My Player Two
This was too sweet UGH, I really liked the story. I haven't seen the main 2 in anything else, I know they were in Fourever You but that show is way too long and slow for me lol. Maxky specifically though stuck out for me the most, his energy is infectious and he really nailed the emotional scenes.I think the pacing in this was pretty solid, you got my guy from 'Love by Chance' singing in it Boy Sompbob! I couldn't really take seriously that the team is strictly phone app gamers, maybe thats a thing more nowadays but I feel like it would be so boring to watch in a tournament and to play. Get them consoles or PC set ups! Those gaming portions needing serious trimming down or just more interesting portions to watch.
Also.....GUNNERRRRR! He’s not in jail and with someone else in this show! I'm so happy for him!

gamer boyfriends being wholesome
I think this series was really cute, Bas and Maxky are always a treat to see on the screen. It was very different from the characters that got me hooked on the pairing but seeing Bas play a more shy character and Maxky a more goofy one was a treat.I do agree I wish there was a tiny bit more romance, but I also think the people rating this sooo low because of it is a little overkill. I think maybe we are all just used to a bit more explosive romance from these two.
Gunner Newton kinda kept my eyes glued to them a majority of the time. There was a tension there that was insane and I really really loved their chemistry.
I LOVED seeing Ben and Jay back on the screen as a subtle side character pairing, I wish we had gotten more out of them tho. I hope we see more from both pairings, Ben and Jay stole my heart with Caged Again and I know some people hated it but I can't relate. I get excited to see them both on the screen since that series.
I wont lie that this was a little lackluster than I was expecting, but I am also chalking this up to it not entirely being my type of series. I like a little more tension personally. I think the most memorable scene for me was the scene where Bas's and Maxky's character were in the bedroom and it was very clear Bas's character wasn't ready to get physical, the display of recognizing when your partner wasn't ready to take things to the next step was literally everything, even if it was just a small scene.
It left a lasting impression on me.
Anyway, excited to see what comes next for all characters~

“Hello, ma boy.” - I will miss hearing this cute sentence!
I’m not a gamer, so that aspect of the show didn’t really interest me.I came to this show solely for Maxky and Bas, and, oh, what a treat they are!
I think their dynamic really plays well off each other.
Maxky suited the silly role, and he made me laugh so much with his over-the-top actions. It was like watching him play himself.
Bas continues to get more adorable. His little face emotes so well, even without dialogue. And though this drama had only a smattering of romantic moments and didn’t invest heavily in building a long-lasting relationship like in Fourever You, it cemented how well these two actors can work off one another. I didn’t even need romantic scenes. Every scene with just the two of them was engaging.
I wasn’t very interested in the side characters, though they fit the atmosphere. I would love to see Maxky and Bas in an office-based romance drama without added secondary couples. Their acting skills could easily carry an entire show.
An enjoyable, easy watch.

Be my Player two flips the script
I reall enjoy this lighthearted series, right know there are alot of „dark romance“ our „time travel“ series, which I also enjoy but I also like to switch it up fron time to time! I think it is funny how here Maxky is a silly and outgion character who is totally in to gaming (compared to him being a Mafia like rich kid who is mainly working) and how Bas is a shy young man with soical anxiety and only two close friends, who only started gaming and streaming becuse his friends wanted him to get out of his comfort zone (compared to him being an outgoing and loud person who likes to fight and is friends with everyone)! As gaming is as popular as it is today (compared to my childhood where it was seen as childish or for „nerds“) I also think it fits perfectly in todays world, espacially with more and more female gamers! I look forward to what will come next and hope it keeps up like this!!Was this review helpful to you?
Funny and cute!
it's so cute, I love the chemestry so much and I love that they play in such a funny series together. it shows such a different and silly side of the actors and I like that it is slow burning. it is really funny to watch and I can't wait for more. Everything is so bright and colorful and it doesn't take itself too seriously. I also love how it shows the gaming world in different ways mobile or PC, and consoles while highlighting the friendship that forms because of the gaming and the excitement and fear of competitive gaming. I will go on watching this every week.Was this review helpful to you?
Gameboy-ish, fluffy start to a typical tropey Thai BL that is getting tamer with new episodes
It starts off on similar premise as Gameboys in ways, two people meet on the game and start engaging and liking each other....with an additional Pi-Nong element (typical Thai) and a fake rivalry build-up that leads to cute exchanges. But with passing episodes it just gets tamerBL-Needle Score: 8, reasonably high BL-ness
I am not expecting much from this one but plain cuteness and fluff. The way Soh wears that bear head and the reactions that show up on the screen despite his face being behind that is completely narak!!
Dropped this after Ep 2

Let's see where this goes
Ok first off I went in completely blind. The premise seems great and the story sounds fun. What did throw me off a bit is the leads acting in the video game as the characters, but I don't really hate the idea. Overall, the series seems to be a good watch and I'm excited to see where it's going to go.Was this review helpful to you?
Interesting Approach
With only one episode aired, I'm already impressed with some of the production team's innovative choices. Dramas set in the world of esports are plentiful, and a major challenge facing the writers, directors (et. al.) is how to make the gaming feel like it has narrative consequence; and you most likely are not going to accomplish that by simply showing segments of game play. Gamers might find it thrilling to watch game play, but your average viewer isn't going to necessarily connect game play with characterization, plot progression, and emotional investment. Be My Player Two has found an interesting approach- to intercut animated game play with live action scenes of the actors mimicking gameplay (in a fantastical way). It's an interesting approach and I'm invested to see if it truly helps with our emotional investment , our ability to understand the consequence of gamer choice during game play, and to solidify audience allegiance. Bas, in particular, seems to have undertaken this challenge in his acting choices, and in these "fantasy" sequences, he even attempts to mimic the staccato movements of gaming characters in his gait, his stiff body movements, and his pace.It's nice to see Maxky doing the broad, heavy-lifting in this piece. In Fourever You, his character was more grounded, laid back, and observant- the character didn't require a broad range of physicality or emoting in every scene because he was the "zen" grounding for the chaotic elements around him. This time around, he is the chaos, but he offsets it neatly with a maturity that prevents his grandiosity from becoming cloying.
Solid start to a very hyped drama.
