One actor was amazing, one was good & one was too much.

This was an amazing display of Pond's talent. I enjoyed watching him so much! He gets 10/10, not so much for the other two main actors, IN needed more animation, more of a flow & a striking shirt or cardigan would have been good too. He could have been played by someone more suitable I think. Mother, OMG! I'm sorry Mam but I don't like this casting, I can't feel her at all as the character. She must have been exhausted after each scene, I was exhausted watching it

So the story, well it's a great idea, you had no clue where it would go but it was also predictable in places. The anticipation was rather good. The subject matter is a little controversial but it was very watchable & well, why not!? New stories are always welcome. Not many characters in this series but it's better like that I think. Pond nails it, the dialogue he had in long shots was impressive, his emotions were so relatable, it was like he was in a stage play & just aced every single scene. Wow!

Music was pleasant, Pond sings the title song I believe. There was fun, enlightenment, sadness, bitterness, rage-ish, happiness, fear, naked torso, no skinship including lips, crying, oh so much crying

The end of the story was disappointing, otherwise I would have scored higher. Nothing wrong with the conclusion, it was emotional, serious, sad & didn't drag on but I needed more. Wang put up with so much rubbish throughout (as you'll see) and I think I wanted more for him & I wanted some kind of forfeiture for Mother. They all have the same feelings in the end, why? I didn't like that

This wasn't bad at all. Quite sweet & a little out of the ordinary.

Thai BL dramas are works which vary in depth of acting skill, of cheesiness, silliness, the number of 'extras' & of the scenery for example.
This drama is not in the regular realms of Thai BL. There's a cast of only two, two small parts & a couple of 'extras', which you would expect to think has no depth but it was actually so fun!!

For two previously uncredited actors in film or TV I think they did a way better job than some seasoned Thai actors. There were element of silliness & comical cuteness, charm, romance & nakedness as well as a nice amount of cheesiness & cliches (I won't leave out the BDSM scene which was surprising, cringe, funny & a bit raunchy!!) The lack of other characters in this drama did not impact the watchability at all. The scenery was really nice, lovely resort, cosy, well decorated, somewhere you could see yourself enjoying a few weeks of relaxation & possible romance.

The production team did a great job here. I read some bad reviews but went with my gut instinct to watch & I'm glad I did! The OST is reasonably good. (Also, just to mention, I usually get frustrated with cheesy lounge music but in this case it was present but not at all annoying.)

You have to keep in mind, and account for the director's critique when talking about the acting. For me these two did a great job of telling a story & keeping me interested, entertained & feeling the emotions. Wasn't perfect & I'm sure they know this & see where they can improve. I'm actually hoping to see them again soon! Their chemistry is good but their love scenes need a bit of work, I'd put it down to direction & confidence. I'm rating this high as an all round enjoyable drama.

The 'putting drunk man to bed' scenes were more true to life than any I've seen yet in any drama.

Much the same as the 1st Weak Hero, but...

I liked the fact it wasn't focussed on the school environment so much, very few classroom scenes. Gave it a more mature feel. I liked the speed of the story, how it played out. I would have liked to see some things that we didn't & would like to have not seen some things we did but no deal breakers. I really enjoyed the series, class 1 & class 2. Park Ji Hoon is so very talented & versatile. The cast impressed me with their acting & there are so many of them!

Great work, congrats to all the crew. Can't wait for the next project. Tastefully Yours is about to air in a few days so I'll check it out.

Strangely heavily dubbed!!

The actors are not bad at all, obviously there are some we are quite familiar with & their acting is very good, taking into consideration it's a Thai comedy. I like the story & the characters a lot, direction is good, wardrobe is good. I only really have one big issue & that's with the post filming. There's so much Additional Dialogue, what the heck is going on?? AND that's not Lee Long Shi's voice! In fact all three of the rich brothers seem to have been digitally dubbed over.

I really want to enjoy this series, I'm going to persevere with it & hope I can see it through to the end. I can't listen to the fake voices & random added dialogue & voice noises for long though so the sound is down low. Oy oy oy 🙄
