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.

Sea is beautiful, but I was somehow hypnotized by Jimmy’s perfect nipples. I can’t get over them. 😂 I need help.

I’d agree, except in the instance of the NC scenes. Peat always gives 100% in bed.

This is definitely not their best work. Rak is a whiny brat, but I will return to that shower scene repeatedly and without shame. “Woo(f).” Fort’s natural sexiness and Peat’s wholehearted commitment to NC scenes make them one of the hottest couples in BL.

I watched this on a flight to LA from Hong Kong. Pure entertainment, and I loved it! I was excited to find something like this on an airplane, of all places.

toxic characters usually have trauma for sure, but Peat’s characters so often are physically/sexually traumatized. Hopefully this time it will all be psychological. lol

lol. love this review. I sped through this so fast I forgot much of it, but now I think I’m going to watch it again, haha. Your review was just as, if not more. entertaining than the drama itself.

it’s called slooooooow burn. After ep.4 I think it’s gonna heat up.

Yai mentions that he believes their Karma is resolved, so she doesn’t see his spirit.

what you said. (sigh.)
