I think people rank it based on how much they enjoy the show rather than how it objectively compares to everything else on the website...no one takes what other shows are in the top spot when giving their personal opinion.
For someone who rarely does ongoing, esp Thai BL coz with one episode a week (for my sanity) I started this today…
In my opinion all their series are pretty good but if I had to rank them: I would recommend 1. Never Let Me Go (melodrama romance), 2. Fish Upon The Sky (Coming of age romance), 3. We Are (Ensemble low-stake college Romance).
Personally I'd say other than Me and Thee, Fish Upon The Sky is my favorite I'm not sure if it's due to nostalgia or if its that good, but honestly its one of my favorite bls. However, in terms of quality and story, Never Let Me Go is better.
Aran and Tawan were truly the only flaws in this story. That being said I enjoyed the contrast between all 3 couples because RomeMok felt melancholic w/ yearning, TheePeach felt delicate and beautiful, and TawanAran gave painful and toxic.
You think Khun Thee is just funny, but he's genuinely one of the most sincere and kindhearted characters. Also I was going to lose my mind if they didn't adopt those two little kids after their first separation, but then I was like "how? they need to have have a solid life together to give these kids a good home" and the show really pulled it off beautifully.
I also love how much family we got. Genuinely seeing their families integrate into each other slowly from Peach meeting Rome to Plub meeting Khun Thee as Peach's bf, to Peach and Plum being added to the family, etc. this aspect was perfectly done.
He plan to use FL ....yes very sweet hahahaSince FL is awesome, he'll probably really fall for herHe hates ML…
I don't think he's a good person, he's just a an entertaining character and hasn't done wrong to He Xiu. But I agree, intention does matter and if he's doing all this helping not from his interest in her, but to annoy Xiao Zhiyu then he's essentially using her which is icky.
Sorry, you misunderstood me. I meant in other shows, rival characters are always written to be much less smart than the main characters, which makes the shows boring and is just poor writing to make the main characters look better.
But in this show, it's different because they're on even ground and they're both equally smart, so there's an actually entertaining push and pull between the ML and SML, which makes the plot outside of the romance captivating.
lmaoo I'm just joking, I just like the way the SML has been written the first 10 episodes so far. Like he's clearly not a good person, but he's not annoying. I hate it when the main characters have competition/rivals that are wayyyyy below them in terms of skill/resources just to make the main characters look good, so I'm enjoying the push and pull that's developing. Also the past of the ML and SML looks very emotionally complicated, so I'm curious to see how it'll be resolved.
I adore our main couple though and I love how much the Xiao Zhiyu has been smiling the latest episode.

Idk what he's going to do in the future, I'm just watching as the episodes play out. My opinion will change once he actually does something to FL, but for now even his problems with the ML seem to be very emotional linked to their past, so it could be something that they might solve. I even have a theory that the FL's dad's accident might be tied into the structural collapse that messed up ML and SML's lives/relationship.
Opinions evolve with the characters and that's how he currently comes across to me, at the point I'm at which is half way through ep 10 he hasn't pulled He Xiu into his beef with Xiao Zhiyu, other than asking her to join his company which she declined and he dropped. In the rain and the car scenes, it just seemed like he was helping her out from his interest of her. Like I said to someone else, I'm not saying he's more suitable for FL than ML, I just like his character.
His charm seems more cunning than sweet to me, like someone skilled at presenting himself as sweet when he really…
I can see that for sure. Maybe I'm naive but I feel like some part of him is helping her out from his interest in her because he was intrigued by her since before she was connected to ML. I'm not saying he's more suitable for her than Xiao Zhiyu, he's just a likable character.
Love the SML like he has his beef with the ML, but he separates it with his interactions with Hu Xiu. I just like his character, he's too competitive and a little power hungry but sort of sweet??
Zhuang Xu’s biggest flaw isn’t even that he’s pathetic and insecure. It’s that he’s so self-centered. It’s always me-me-me i’m the victim with him. Not once does he think how any of his actions/inactions have affected Xiguang, just how her responses got in the way of their “romance”. He’s just so…
“it wasn’t even a choice…i was always going to end up with him” SPEAK YOUR TRUTH XIGUANG!! YUSEN IS YOUR ENDGAME EVEN IF ZHUANGXU HAD THE CHANCE HES BEGGING FOR
The relief that we got the loving Uncle (who's basically her father) cheering them on at the Banquet instead of her trash father when they went public. Literally both Xiguang and Yusen are ethereal, from their outfits and the setting it was perfect.
The way I started this drama for the romance but I'm so sat for Jiang Rui. I confidently say he's the best character. Like a funny, adorable, protective, loving, and annoying little brother. Who can ask for more.
