I just heard about it today. Give it time to gain momentum…I’m really looking forward to it!

I’m just starting this series (on ep. 6, I think) and I am in love with everything about it. Everything. So far, 10/10, so I’m glad others are saying the same throughout. ❤️

agreed!

I have to agree with you on this one. I subscribe to 5 streaming platforms for my BL, and I’m not getting a VPN just to watch this show. I’m hoping this and other shows will eventually make it to Viki or iQIYI, but otherwise, I’m just going to miss it. Too be because lots of us love BossNoeul, but with the so-so reviews and long (perhaps interminable) wit, a lot of people will likely just skip it even if it does get here. This hurts the actors the most because we all know they don’t get paid ish.

Yeah, that last love scene needed more ice cream. 😆

I would have liked the legal issue to come to a better close. If they could make a part 2, that would be perfect. ❤️

the singing was so awful…he wasn’t even lip synching. He’d be moving his mouth without music and stopped but the music went on. I’m sure it was director’s/production’s fault, but it threw me off, even though I loved the story and it was funny and beautiful, like you said. 9/10 just for the production flaws. I loved the actors, though. such a loving, dynamic couple that the age gap didn’t even freak me out.

I agree. Also, I happen to like this GL pair, which isn’t true for every BL series. I guess a lot of straight fujoshis don’t want to “waste time” with girl couples, but I like seeing loving couples of all genders. (I’m not a straight girl, though.) All in all, this is a very good series, and deserves high ratings.

I enjoyed this series (I’m glad I was able to binge it, because if Imhad to wait between episodes, I don’t think I would have liked it as much.) I found it cute, I liked the style and energy of it, and though it was flawed, I found it fun. I immediately bought the manga, because isn’t the book always better? I know a lot of people hated Chiaki’s casting, but honestly, I’ve seen so many worse actors in less entertaining BLs, that I just let it slide. Also, AE/Enaga was so fun to look at that it made up for everything. I’d watch this again for fun.

yes, it will be available on Amazon on August 11, my birthday. :)

It was much more cinematic than most later BLs, especially school-centered BLs. A serious queer series, no fluff involved. You’re correct in saying it set the stage (and bar) for those to follow.

Finally got to this classic. Such a beautiful story of coming of age and self-acceptance. I ugly-cried almost as much as Teh did. (He is the *master* of the ugly-cry. It’s devastating! No pretty tears for him.) Another one to put on the elite 10/10 list.

part of this is likely because Thai pronouns tend to be really ambiguous. I’m not sure if this leaks over into titles and roles in translation, or if these weird gendered assignments are still just part of the culture. it feels random at times, and other times it doesn’t. I agree it’s annoying and feels a bit “off”at times, especially when the “wife” isn’t particularly effeminate.

I sort of feel the same, but I’m hoping it was just poor acting choices, as he played the role too wide-eyed and childlike. I have an issue with actors who do this if they can’t do it well, or it’s not necessary for the character. I oso think his trauma was resolved way too easily.

It’s cute series that moves along quickly. Honestly, though, my favorite thing is that this series is about cute Catholic choir boys in love. They can really kiss, too. 😹

This is five years later, but Pupha’s beard has been downgraded to “second worst” after Sorn’s beard in “My Stubborn.” lol. 🤪

it’s amazing how many hours of awful product placement I’ll sit through use to see Jimmy’s nipples.
I’m almost ashamed of myself.

wonderful review. I actually watched this after Burnout Syndrome (One of my favorite series *ever*, even outside BL.) and I was so happy to see that it was of the same caliber. OffGun has become to standard I compare every other acting pair to.

I agree with your assessment as a whole, as well. Thanks for the review !

I laughed my ass off reading your review.
