It was cute, but i somewhere in the middle i lost interest

I am gonna be honest , the beginning and the ending of the series was good, funny and I loved it. The first 2-3 episodes really kept me engaged, and i laughed a lot. But after that, it kind of got boring imo, and i felt like it isn't the type of show to binge watch. But again, in some scenes i could relate to the characters and they lowkey inspired me somehow. I would say, it's a good show,but maybe not something i would add to my favourites list. the male mc is super cute, like his behaviours and all and i kept saying, "STOP, HE'S SOO CUTE." throughout the whole series 😂But something that i didn't like is that they kind of failed to keep it as funny as it was supposed to be as a a romcom show. Like after the first few episodes, it didn't feel like a romcom show anymore with all that trauma stuff. Now, i am not complaining or anything, but if they wanted to give depth to the mc's trauma so much, they could've labelled the genre as just romance, not comedy. But the last two episodes were back to being funny again, and i enjoyed watching it again. I also liked how it ended. Now about the main couple. they were really cute, but at the beginning of their relationship i didn't like their chemistry that much and it seemed kind of awkward to me, but they get cuter afterwards though. The acting was also good, and i also liked the second couple as well. I would say it's a show worth watching but don't expect it to be a masterpiece or something!

So lighthearted and funny (and cute and spicy)

I died laughing through the whole episode. Nerd Phukan is so cute and fluffy, like a little bunny. Basically it shows no matter what universe it is, cirrus gonna fall for Phukan. Phukan in this universe was next level stalker and Cirrus absolutely enjoyed being stalked by him🤣The whole episode was so adorable but at the end it got all spicy and hot 🔥The NC scene is still intact in my brain and the memory keeps running in my head. BossNoeul got really freaky as CirPhu and I LOVED IT! I loved JinWim's making-out scene a lot too BHAHAA. AND THE ENDING!!!!!!!! HELLO?!!!
In short this episode had everything, scenes that gives you butterflies, spicy scenes, adorable and fluffy scenes. TBNW is definitely my favorite Thai Bl now!

I don't understand the hate at all

Ik the whole plot seems confusing and all, but it was different than most Bl dramas I've watched and that's what made me love it so much. I want to compliment BossNoeul's acting but especially Noeul's because I felt like he improved a lot and i felt every emotion of the character through his acting. He deserves more praises for his acting in the series. As for the music, i don't think I've ever obsessed with a series music playlist this much. i keep listening to all TBNW songs in Spotify in repeat and the OST is my absolute favourite. I will definitely rewatch it once i get some free time. And let's talk about ForthDonut, I think they were amazing ,i honestly didn't expect myself to love them so much ,but i absolutely do love this duo now. Their chemistry is definitely my favourite after BossNoeul. If I have to choose which one i love the most about the series, i would say first one is definitely BossNoeul. secondly all the songs , and the third one is the aesthetic of the series (like the different color tones for CirPhu, the small details they added, Phukan's cardigans etc.). Phukan is the cutest character I've ever seen.

I have mixed feelings about this one

The drama started off really fun, and I absolutely loved the concept of "you don't always need a blood bond to become a family." That message was heartwarming and had me excited for the rest of the show.

But once the romance subplot kicked in, things started to feel a little... off. I get that San Ha and Ju Won aren't actually siblings—San Ha lived with his dad, and although they shared a sibling bond, he never really lived in Ju Won’s house as her brother. Still, I found it strange how the show started with Ju Won calling him "Oppa" in every sentence, and everyone around them referring to her as San Ha’s sister.

All her life, she saw him as nothing but her brother—and then suddenly, after his confession, she develops romantic feelings for him? That transition didn’t sit right with me. From San Ha’s side, I totally get it. He never gave off a strong "big brother" vibe, so his feelings made more sense. But from Ju Won’s perspective, it felt rushed and unnatural.

Honestly, I think I would’ve liked it better if the romance angle was left out altogether—or, if they were going to go that route, then they should’ve set it up from the beginning instead of leaning so hard into the whole “we’re one true family” message.

That said, I still enjoyed the series overall, and the ending was pretty satisfying in my opinion.

As for the acting... I wouldn’t say I was blown away. I adore Hwang In Youp and only watched this because of him—he’s incredibly talented—but his performance felt a bit underwhelming here, and that goes for the rest of the cast too.

All in all, it’s a drama with a great message at its core, but the execution—especially in the romance plot—might not be for everyone. Still, if you're open-minded and enjoy unconventional family stories, it’s worth a try!

The Drama That Found Me When I Didn’t Know I Needed It

I didn’t know it was possible to cry so many times watching a single drama, but this one proved me wrong in the most unforgettable way.

I started 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' while going through a lot of inner turmoil. I was slowly giving up—on life, on myself. But this story helped me see things from a new perspective. It reminded me that even the smallest things in life can bring happiness... if the person who truly loves you stays by your side.

I already had high expectations after hearing great reviews from friends, but this drama went beyond anything I could have imagined. It didn’t just tell a story—it lived it. And it made me live it too.

This isn’t just a tale of love. It’s a reflection on family, on sacrifice, and the quiet pain that so many of us carry. It shows the love of parents who give everything for their children’s happiness, even if it goes unnoticed. And it also reflects the sadness and confusion children often feel—when life feels unfulfilled, when we feel like we aren’t enough. But through it all, this drama reminds us: everything our parents do, even when it feels overwhelming, comes from a place of indescribable love.

No matter your age, this story will touch you. It paints the struggles of every generation, and somehow finds a way to bring them all together in one beautifully woven narrative.

And the characters… oh, the characters. Gwan Sik and Ae Sun’s love is something that can’t be described with words. It warmed my heart and shattered it all at once. The men in this drama showed a kind of gentleness and strength that I can only hope to find in a partner one day.

This drama was nothing short of perfection. It made me reflect on my own life, the people I’ve loved and lost, and the parts of myself I’m still learning to forgive. It reminded me that the people who truly love us—our parents, our chosen family—are often right there, just quietly waiting for us to see them.

It’s not just a drama. It’s a piece of art. One I want to keep fresh in my memory, always.
