@jpny01 You hit all the right spots with the critique of the series. I would add the transition from hate to love is not only jarring but almost impossible as Aiaoon has an ex that doesn't have a penis. You cannot "boom" become gay after 2 accidental kisses and a finger sucking session.

The cinematography is especially bad in episode 6. Too much close up of Nawee in the wrong angle makes him look less and less attractive. Even a shirtless scene cannot save him this time, haha ! You are right, the full blasting of Jeff Satur's song suddenly throughout the series is tacky and make me unintentionally laughed.

I also noticed the red lipstick on both leads was too obvious in episode 6, so when they kissed I imagined they would need to clean up all those messy lipstick stains.

Wearing tux is just a new prop for Thai BL industry to move away from high school/university setting. Yes, the tux Aiaoon and the dad wore were awful looking. Why would they wear tux in the family gathering sitting outdoor? They didn't have the budget to do Four Wedding and A Funeral type of birthday lunch, I guess. I didn't notice about the hem, I guess you really know more about these formal attires than the director does!

Unfortunately no skin from episode 5 and 6 but you could see Lakorn creeping in in the latter already. It may go full blown Lakorn up to the finale with the introduction of "le bitch" aka the ex.

@jpny01 My friend actually spent quite a bit for his dream wedding, chartering a short flight for the 70+ guests and paying for the 1st night stay in the remote 5 stars resort where we couldn't simply go out for food or order takeouts.

Some of the guests were local artists and publicists as he had gained a small fame being a young and flamboyant interior designer in local scene. Overall, the guests were mostly used to high society parties except a few of his best friends like me, :-P.

Anyway, the canape cocktail party was held from 6pm so naturally we didn't have time to eat dinner before that. Even the hotel's canape spread was fancy and varied, it would have been better to serve some carbs at some points although people eating pizza or satay skewers isn't that fancy I guess? At the end of the day, we are still Asians and not used to eating small bites and bread for dinner, haha!

Have you seen episode 6? Chap is a mess and there comes the trope of having someone suddenly appearing to spoil the mood with 2 more episodes to go. The series seems to get worse; at least we could see shirtless Chap in previous episodes.

Lakorn with bitches, many non Thais will stay away. Lakorn with hot guys, most people here will suck it up as long as there is consensual sex, kiss or happy ending.

For entertainment, yes. Otherwise, his flirting is so out of character from previous episodes, the director just wants to do fan service before the series ends. I don't know how they are going wrap up the story with 3 episodes to go but whatever it is, we all want to see more shirtless Chap and reasonable kissing scenes since they have two hot guys.

We are probably in the 'older' group of what some teenage girls here blamed for the low rating. There are so many things wrong with this drama, only the hot leads and shirtless scenes keep us going.

It seems like wearing tux is the new black instead of school uniform that many Thai BL have based their story from. This one, Cutie Pie and Kinn Porche but Thailand is a subtropical country! Nobody wears suit with tie except for very special events or short photo sessions, and certainly not in outdoor sit down dinner.

His change of behaviour from obnoxious to flirty is just too jarring. People don't just fall in love after a conversation when they both played prank to each other before

The sudden insertion of the theme song loudly whenever they both kiss or have face almost plasteres together is tacky and hackneyed.

This is a BL series, if they show LGBT stuff like those realistic dramas in Europe, those teenage fangirls will be screaming for their mama. They won't want to see one of the pretty boys in doggy position or biting pillow!

Forget about logic, those pratfalls are enough telling signs of the writer's flair. As long as Chap keeps taking off his shirt or they keep slipping into each other and lips turning into kissing magnets, teenage fans are more than happy with the drama.

Haha, I get your point! I even saw a comment on Bad Buddy series that watching that drama was the best thing that ever happened to her! I hope she is only a teenager and yet to experience wonderful real life experience to say that.

While everyone is allowed to do what they like and entitled to their opinions, I am just concerned some of these fangirls are so just obsessed with their idols or BL dramas it disrupts their daily life.

In Viki's on screen comments of some idol or BL dramas, you often see high students saying they have exam tomorrow but couldn't stop watching the drama at 3am. In some BL dramas' comment section, you could see some people commenting hundreds of time obsessing about everything from MV or BTS of a particular series, their study must be affected by all these!

They probably don't have much social or romantic life after spending so much time watching all BL series or BL youtube videos!

Excuse me? If I don't like the drama, I should just shut t f up? Now, who is being rude and why on earth did I not allow to post a negative review?

Although I have not been to Arizona, I could feel the discomfort of summer months after watching many seasons of CSI Las Vegas. What was your friend thinking making guests wearing tux at the height of summer in desertland? Any older guests might have a heat stroke, haha!

My friend's wedding dinner was in a five star seaside resort (the Datai) by the big pool, so it was as glamorous as it could be in this region, not unlike a wedding dinner in a Hollywood movie (not the Hollywood district of LA).

Another funny episode was his next evening's canape cocktail party in his honeymoon pool villa. He imagined a glamorous night of guests sipping champagne and chatting with canapes on the other hand just like what I experienced in a London's hospital fundraising event when I met Judy Dame !

Sure enough, he was furious and disappointed again when we started to order fried rice and hamburger from room service as the night went on. Hello, we are Asian, we cannot have an evening just drinking and eating canape the whole night! :-P

Dear sir, you could read my longer comment below and see that asking someone to break up sentences or asking someone not to use all caps are not language policing.

@Ginger352, I know East Asia film making industry has been capitalising on the sudden popularity and enormous market potential of BL genre but that does not give filmmakers the excuse to have lazy writing or not knowing the 101 of drama/movie production. I can forgive low production quality of BL/LGBT dramas due to limited budget and works from small studios. My favorite BL dramas do not need to have the overall quality of SATC or Six Feet Under (notice I don't like any violent or political dramas like GOT or West Wing being a typical gay man's taste).

I give a lot of leeway to LGBT and BL genre because I would not have watched a straight / BG drama if it does not have interesting premise or amazing scripts in the first few episodes.

I brought up the phenomenon of Korean popular culture because I have seen comments here and in youtube that "Koreans are the most beautiful looking people" and "they have amazing culture". I don't want them to be in shock when they find Seoul being soulless (not historic enough, and yet not modern enough) and Jeju Island being over-hyped locally as the 8th wonder of the new world. They will also be in shock people on the street do not look any more attractive than those in its neighboring countries.

Many audience also fail to see majority of the gorgeous male and female Korean actors did plastic surgery or have great make up artists. One thing for sure having gym fit body definitely makes Korean actors more attractive than the rarely gym trained Japanese and Chinese actors. Fit body will change the face profile a bit and lean stature will bring out an attractive aura of the man/woman.

The issue I have with this series is there is nothing interesting with the plot and scripts, so playing safe has avoided plot holes but the high rating and rave reviews seem to suggest people have seen the Citizen Kane of BL dramas.

I didn't criticise Mau for his grammar or poor command of the language. If you read his sentences again, he just wrote as if he was speaking (no comma, no full stop), and no obvious grammatical errors. He could be a native speaker with limited vocabulary if he is still young.

Although I have been using English mostly in phone texts and emails since working, my native language is Mandarin and I also have to use Malay language regularly as a national language. I make it a learning exercise when I write comments as I often need to double check the definition of some words I use. Therefore, we can still improve our language when we write comments or learn from others' writing flair.

Are you a 12 years old? When did I ever say my view / opinion of the series is a fact or the truth? You can have your opinion, I can have mine!

It's pointless to continue arguing with you who keep saying the same irrelevant thing (that I care that others liking it). I only responded to the original poster who dislikes it, I didn't bother to reply to many original posts that say they love it, ok?

There are just a lot of lazy writings in the series and worst is the finale. The writer just wants to create the various tropes but cannot fool people who haven't switched off the brain or know at least a bit of the country.

If you studied 4 years to get a degree, where did you get the fund to own a motorbike shop? Unless Tawan chipped in, he couldn't save anything with a rider's income and paying for his study. I remember Mork said he could sell the injured guy a new bike, so it's not just a repair shop.

The driving distance between Bangkok and Chiangrai by car is about 789km or almost 11 hours of non stop driving. So, it would been the next day for Mork to get to Tawan house. What's worse, his mates riding motorbikes would have taken more than 12 hours! So, it is laughable for anyone knowing a bit about Bangkok or Chiangrai.

Another illogical plot is how he could locate Tawan without clear direction of the roads he had used. I'm sure there is not just one road in Chiangrai's highland park and how did his friends get there too without direction? It would have been plausible if their meeting is in a famous landmark or tourist attraction, that place looks like off the beaten path.

I agree their interactions after 4 years later feel like their 2nd or 3rd dates. Anyway, there are many awkward pauses between the couple which were cute initially but becoming tiresome when we still see them till the finale!

Please learn how to break up sentences or use commas and a full stop in a sentence!

I checked out this drama because a few people quoted Blueming being great in comment section of another drama. I have to agree with the original post, I didn't find anything interesting with the plot or characters.

But look at the rating and comment section here, it sure feels like a masterpiece for many of them! It's no wonder MDL has to put a cap on BL dramas' rating as fans are too easy with their scores!

I know right, with so much blood his hands are soaked in, the patient would have been dead. Anyway, someone said it was a good lesson to learn that after Mork studied hard for 4 years he could now own a motorbike shop. Am I missing something here? He studied hard to be able to own a shop?

You are not nitpicking, you are being sensible. The plot has been ridiculous, the scripts tacky but we still watch it cos Chap would make gay men cum in their pants as soon as they see him shirtless (quoting Samantha Jones).
Perhaps the director wants to simulate a korean drama setting or he has a fantasy of western high end society. My best friend had the latter fantasy so he made us wear suit and tie for his gay wedding dinner at an island resort near southern Thailand. It was an alfresco sit down dinner with long tables in the evening serving French cusine but sure enough everyone took off the suit and untie after the photo session, making my friend very pissed off and his Hollywood gay wedding fantasy ruined, haha!

You are right, the transition was jarring since episode 4 where he totally behaved vulnerable and episode 5 totally like a horndog. Unless they have been deniably gay, straight men don't easily fall in love with another men as they have to first overcome the natural physical repulsion with the same sex. In the case of gay men like us, we can only fall in love with a very attractive woman if we can overcome the natural repulsion to that squishy soft body and off putting feminine scent.
