Reviews foreshadow a big disappointement. I should have believed them.
Reasons this didn't work for me: too many too count. Reason I still gave 4 stars: Toptap and Mike

30 min into the movie and nothing has happened yet. ... booooring

dnf. nil character depth, no recogniseable storyarch, and sooo old-fashioned for a 2021 BL.

The subtext and similies used in the script are meaningful and give a lot of depth to their interaction beyond what is actually said. This is artfully done and requires skill to write and interpret and act and thus is like a treasure hunt for us - the audience.

But if you are like me and hate the wet cloth that is XiaoFan and his weak will then you will not enjoy the layers of the characters that slowly reveal themselves.
Pls someone edit the summary, because 'forced into the role of his brother-in-law's lover' is really not what happens.

GMMTV 2025 line up. I wasn't gonna watch, but the trailer is intruiging. Gun is a superp actor and his roles are deep and interesting (The Trainee aside). Same director as NOT ME and similar feel.

This one makes me doubt if I can ever watch Off/Gun again.
Everyone is severely unlikeable, no-one absolutely no-one has burn-out syndrome and around ep 8 Off is suddenly in love when he was not 2 eps earlier,.
Gun is a two-timing, egoistical, bastard, his lady friend enables him, and Peem has not 2pence of self-worth, and Off ist just an ass allround. That Anger-room scene was great until Gun totally missed the point of what Peem was telling him.
I will not drop it but I can barely manage to go on. Even their sex scene was more of an aside. Totally worth shit.

dropped it.

Oh boy. unmemorable. overacted manga adaptation.

dnf. started well enough but derailed quickly. No pull.

with a little bit of effort this might have been better off as a psychological thriller. so bad. so much crying and long stares and dragging

Yes well. It has Poom. 

Another Foodie BL that features exrtemely little food and extremely little plot and Dean 2.0 who meets all his romantic partners while grocery shopping.

 There are no cats. No one is a wer-cat either (I thought that would be it)

If you’re looking for a show with cute animals in it, you won’t find it here, and you’re honestly better off just watching dog or cat videos on Youtube.

dnf. cute. I like that both think they are playing the long game. I mostly watched for the doc. I wish he 'd have more screen time. 

And then some. draggy with cliché misunderstanding plot line. 

dnf. I kinda liked it in the beginning but I have no patience for Jiwon after they get together. Sorry, but you can't sell me his behaviour as shy or innocent. Jungwoo is a white flag all around, solid, dependable and firm in what he wants; he all but comes out in an TV interview but Jiwon projects all his own insecurties onto Jungwoo and calls it 'concern for Jungwoo' thereby showing no respect for what Jungwoo wants or says and constantly hurts him even in front of their friends. Jungwoo tries every romantic tac in the book and Jiwon either through obliviousness or desintrerest ruins all of them. That is painful to watch. 

It's cheap, and cringey. The story is ridiculous and the acting very stiff. Watch this if you want to be cheered up and smile at how bad this is.

10 out of 10 for the intro and the STAIRCASE OF LOVE. 

Top: hiring a porn movie director as an advisor.
Flop: literally everything else: Sorn's ego trip, Jun is obviously not able to consent to the kind of power dynamic Sorn's creating.  we are told he likes Sorn, but other than the F*** it is not claer why. Then, on multiple (!) occasions we see Jun is not even enjoying that, so what is the point? 

And the GL story is the worst I have seen todate (dead fish meets Barbie)

Hey look. It's that Omegaverse-drama everyone is pretending not to watch and then either hate-watches or guilty-pleasure-watches.

when it was first announced I was like 'oh hey Oat/Boat's new porn is coming out' :D. And I truly pity them because somewhere during My stubborn it became obvious that they would have a hard time to ever film anything with their pants on ever again.

It's campy. And the bed scenes were undignified for the actors: unbearable to watch. The plot is typical ABO - I didn't expect much. There are ABO stories out there delving into legal rammifications of forced bonding, the oppression of Omegas and restrictions placed on Alpha dominance in mixed human-ABO society. But none of this was picked up on here. Instead I see an Alpha crying on his mother's lap. And let's not mention the gaping plot holes. It's (probably) fine to capitalise on the hornies out there, but has the writing team not asked themselves even the most basic questions of cohesion and plausibility?

dnf. Good start. Good chemistry. Then it ran out of runway and fell off before finishing.

Is this the BL fantasy drama we have been waiting for?  Nooooooouuu-

dnf. Fluke is so typecast in his PJs, it made me sad. I usually like paradox timey-wimey plots, but I got hella confused here and wasn't invested enough to figure it out. Maybe if they'd given this more temporal room, now it's just instalove with a time-shift twist.

strong start. Then dnf.

dnf.

Should have been been Saint x Zee. Unfortunately script like a fanfic of a 12-year old,  if you can't find a better cliffhanger than Zee looking at you like he will eat you right up, you really really really have nothing to say.

dnf after ep 2. creepy. In all the wrong ways. The core premise is that one acts suspiciously and the other becomes suspicious. There could have been some great potential about what happens when you are in a relationship and you fall out with your friends over it. That's at least reflecting on moral and real relationship dynamics. But no.

dnf. they just skipped the whole built up. 

dnf. this is definitely not a bingeable show.
High production but so far It's sadly going to lengthen my already overly long list of mediocre BLs which seems to be a specialty in Thaïland. Not great, not fun, but watchable when you have some time to waste.

The shy virgin trope with the vanilla plot is just too much. The novel it is based on is supposedly basically porn. Not sure that would have been better.

dnf. 

Remake of Japanese original. This role does not fit Singto to a t. He's just too teddy bear to pull off the irresistible gay conquerer. I wish I could give this a higher rating...

dnf. Foody BL. Interesting dynamic. #AbsBeforeEp3

dnf. hell no.

dnf. the speed of this is positively glacial and the chemisty is equally frosty. But the foodporn and music are nice

the japanese really have no filter.

child abuse galore. yes there are 2 men in a relationship but really that's not the point. this is not bl.

dnf. oh lord. I can't even. Sooo overacted.

dnf. I barely managed 4minutes of this. I thought it might be watchable bc of Perth but really I cannot. Book&Force are a deal breaker for me.

Waiting for my next WeTV sub to come around

Can't wait for Boom 

GMMTV line up 2026: Joon/Dunk - I am genuinely excited at how whackey that is going to be

GMMTV line up 2026: Boun/Prem - yay

GMMTV line up 2026: Mix/Earth - no brainer - although seems a bit shallow plotwise

GMMTV line up 2026: First/Kao - yes pls! Looks intense - similar vibe to moonlight chicken

Onsa/Inn are a strong cast for this. But Pond overshadows them - his acting is so strong. Possibly a touch overdoing it. But I cannot look away from him in any scene.

I love the character of Takoi - masterly portrayed with endless spot-on facial expressions - by Watanabe Shu. The age gap works really well and their chemistry is spot on.

The OST rocks!
