CH3 we are tired.
I have to say this before I write my non-spoiler review.I’m a multistan and I don’t have bias when I watch GLs, anyone can surprise me (either positively or negatively) and my ranking is always adjusting every time we have new GLs.
Episode one was an okay start but the everything went downhill really fast.
The plot is completely absent, boring scenes over and over, poor writing, no budget for locations or details and the characters don’t really have any development. Not to mention that the side characters feel empty and coming out of nowhere. (Only interesting one is Pie but they decided to have her for only few scenes).
This is the same writing level of Only You, so it’s clearly a pattern that CH3 has, an extremely lazy and poor one.
The only good thing about this show is LenaMiu, they have very good chemistry and seems very comfortable with each other on screen, they are also good actresses but their potential is completely wasted for a show like this.
In conclusion, this show is a skip, and CH3 is a filthy money grab company who only cares about profit.
Like no effort whatsoever.

Outstanding GL with high performance leads
Saying that I’m obsessed with this show is minimising the impact it has on my brain.I’ll start by saying that I DON’T LIKE CHAO PLANOY’S adaptations (haven’t red any novels) because they have so many toxic and poorly written characters.
But this one took me off guard.
First of all, just so you know, this is one of the few GLs out there (at least so far) where the two leads (Namtan Tipnaree and Film Rachanun) have a pretty solid background in the industry and had many main lead roles in straight shows, and they have been professional in each of them.
GMMTV combined two strong women with completely opposite personality irl and they are absolute fire together.
On a professional level, the actresses (esp Film at the very beginning when the Pilot trailer was released) were very shy around each other, but they requested to have workshops even before filming, while they were filming a straight show (in which they also starred together “Ploy’s yearbook” but they were “enemies”) so that they could build up the chemistry and get rid of the shyness during working. And they succeeded marvellously.
They are still a bit shy around each other but when they act together you doubt they are not lovers in reality, meaning they are high performers in what they do.
Not to mention they cried when they watched the official trailer for the first time, they really care about the project.
So given that, they are (at least to me) the best in acting I’ve seen in a GL so far, their characters even if they are not green flags, are very compelling and honestly well crafted.
Snap25, the company producing this show, has done an amazing job with the dialogues, twists (so many, like every episode you have more questions than the previous one, but it keeps you HOOKED) and the main love story.
The two main characters May Metawee and Ai-Oon are just two broken souls who are desperate to be loved and loving someone. Their relationship (although is packed with lies and secrets for now) is a slow process of falling in love and understanding of each others.
We all know it will have an happy ending because it’s Chao’s novel and GLs are still new so they wouldn’t dare not to give it to us. Meaning that the two main characters are falling in love and they will overcome all the obstacles and lies surrounding them.
The story is flawing, the twists are exciting to see, the love May and Oon are having is so soft it melts your heart and the two leads are just incredibly professional.
It’s a lethal mix that I personally found myself drown to.
I recommend everyone to give it a go, despite the fact that none of the characters are green flags but they are well written.

Watching exclusively for LingOrm
Two episodes in, and I’m feeling extremely mad. CH3 what the hell is this? LingOrm deserve better.I’m going to stick till the end because I love them but the plot is full of holes, it feels cheap, and is quite embarrassing for a big channel to even think delivering a product like this during prime time and on Netflix.
With Whale Store and Harmony Secret currently airing and ClaireBell, Girl Rules, Cranium and other GLs coming next, every production is upgrading and here we have CH3 downgrading to the max, thinking they can survive the long run without putting some effort to the plot or even the scene cut. It’s extremely embarrassing to see Orm changing hair colour from one scene to another and having “LingOrm” written all over the screen while Ayla is dancing, like c’mon?!? They are not even trying.
