“Make It Right: The Rookie BL That Made It So Right”
For my very first BL review, I wanted to go back to where it all started for me—and what better way than to shine the spotlight on Make It Right, a Thai BL series that may not have the most polished cast, but more than makes up for it with charm, heart, and raw potential.
First off, the fact that most of the lead cast are young and relatively new to acting piqued my interest. It made the entire series feel organic, unfiltered, and relatable—especially for viewers like me who appreciate a coming-of-age narrative that doesn’t try too hard to be perfect.
Story/Plot:
The emotional tug-of-war between Fuse and Tee is both frustrating and deeply relatable. Fuse's inner conflict—torn between two people who hold special places in his heart—echoes the kind of confusion many of us have faced in young love. While I do find Fuse a bit naïve (his constant consideration for Jean despite everything was head-scratching), the Fuse-Tee moments are undeniably sweet and memorable. Boom (as Tee) completely owns the role, and his smile alone could launch a thousand fan pages. Together, Boom and Peak gave us a BL pairing that feels tender, awkward, and unforgettable.
And then comes the surprise duo: Frame and Book. I had no idea what to expect from them, and that made every episode more exciting. Watching Frame transform from a flirty bad boy to a naughty but sweet boyfriend was such a delight—it was like watching a fanfic come to life in the best way possible. These two brought energy, charm, and an addictive tension that made me eager to hit “Next Episode.”
I also appreciate the subtle inclusion of a GL element through Fing’s character. It would have been great to see her storyline explored more deeply, but her presence did add another layer of emotional diversity to the show.
Acting:
As expected with rookie actors, there were moments that felt a bit stiff or lacking in emotional depth—particularly in the earlier episodes. I would’ve loved to see stronger facial expressions from Boom, Peak, and Toey to make some scenes hit harder. But to their credit, they grew into their roles over time. Ohm, in particular, stood out with a surprisingly nuanced performance for a first-timer. Overall, while not perfect, the entire cast was charming and easy to root for.
Music:
The soundtrack? Instant mood booster. I’ve already added most of the OSTs to my playlist—and they never fail to put me in a good mood. Whether it’s a tearjerker scene or a cute moment, the music always complements the emotions perfectly.
Rewatch Value:
Three full rounds of binge-watching and counting… so yes, this is absolutely a rewatch-worthy series for me!
OVERALL:
Make It Right is a light, feel-good BL series with a lot of heart. It may start a bit rough around the edges, but it grows on you fast. The story is emotionally rich, the music elevates the mood, and the characters—though young and imperfect—will leave a lasting impression. If you’re a BL lover looking for something sweet, nostalgic, and heartwarmingly real, this one’s a must-watch.
