I thought I was the only one who hated it😠thank you for this review!
LoL, I don't hate... but the story made no sense... no clue how the novel did it, but I'm not a fan of illogical stories and nonsense even if it's fantasy :D But fangirls are fangirls downvoting my review :)
Well, it was watchable so I don't think I'm too far off. I consider it a bit like Cooking Crush that I also rated…
why? because the setting was nice, the cuteness was over the top, and for his first ML role Keen did a fantastic job. If the story is simple like this was, it's imporant to be consistent and not all over the place. which my love mix up was. was there really a story? did the characters grow? nope. In "Only Boo" both grow with the story.

watchable is anything... i did only drop crazy, handsome rich... but 6.0 is way too high... cooking crush was a tid better, it got 4.5 because it was not that fucking childish. this was far worst, especially with the ads thrown up our faces. Besides it had not much of a story and it had no character development at all, the MLs were the same through the show.
It's quite easy imho to rate: 5 = in the middle, not good, not bad but of course you can weight the bad things with the good things. so Cherry Magic (Thai) got a 5 from me because of the stunning camera work and elaborate sets, because we have no rating for "art" which means camera, sets, costumes. So it got bumped up while I found the acting bland and lifeless. And their chemestry had much too be desired. Cooking Crush got a 4.5 from me, it was run of the mill and a bit boring, but they had nice and different sets, the acting was not as bad as this was but below average. 1 = crazy handsome rich = a show which did all wrong, especially with the external lip-sync which did not match at all, a very dumb story and not much of acting. 2 = middleman's love = the overacting was so cringe for me, I was really sad for the actor who had to act that way which ruined that show. their new show is much better in that aspect. 3.5 = barely passable which means, you can watch it, even when you cringe all the time and when you have the time... but I would recommand to skip forward a lot :) 6.5 = nearly a good show, like "Wandee Goodday"... the story was nothing special and had some silly aspects, but the chemestry and production was top notch. Same rating for "My Stand-In", which could have been soooo much more, if "Ming" really had an redemption arc. But in the end he is a bit better, but still an asshole. 7 = good show with some highlights and some flaws. 8 = good show with more highlights than flaws. "Only Boo!" was such show. I guess it was targeted at teens, so the story is simple, but the execution is good, they don't over-act like My Love Mix-Up, they had also stunning production quality and a very good OST. 9 = very good with some flaws, especially JBLs where the intro shows the end (which I hate) or the kissing is lacking or some similar flaws. "My Personal Weatherman" or "Perfect Propose". 9.5 = nearly perfect or evlevated by the acting for example "Absolute Zero" - not the best story, but the acting was on a whole new level for thai BLs. Another was this years taiwanese show "Unknown". 10 = masterpiece like "180° degrees passing through you" which had an interesting and unusal story, with the MLs both also acting on a whole other level compared to 99% of other shows. "High School Return of a Gangster" while a bromance manga and a BL novel they did the best while getting financing from China (that's life). So while sadly not a BL, the story was interesting, the comedy mild and overall a mature and serious story with lot's of painful moments due to the background of the MLs.
So, you should be more harsh in your reviews. Depict the story and acting better and never vote that high. If 1000 people rate this show instead of a 6 with a 4 it would help the industry, so that less of that crap is produced :)

So, thank you for nice words 🤗
Did not think it was a cliché as this :)
