Almost nothing to complain about so far.
What I can say so far: I liked the character introductions, the episode's dynamic was very good – I believe each character had a good amount of screen time, and I'm in love with Bambi – I think she's the best character so far, and the production looks very good, as expected from GMMTv. I didn't like the opening sequence of the series; I thought it was pretty mediocre. Both the music and the visuals look like a clothing advertisement. It makes no sense. The script is "reasonable" so far (I HAVEN'T READ THE NOVEL), it didn't excite me much, but I didn't think it was bad either. Let's see if it improves or worsens in the next episodes, after all this GL was highly anticipated and there's a risk it will decline simply because fan expectations were so high.Prim and Bambi: You can feel their chemistry from afar, it's crazy how their eyes ignite! Their dynamic is insane, we can see how problematic Bambi is but also how much Prim still has feelings for her, and this puts them in this impasse of "This has already made me suffer before, but I can't love another person, can I confirm it again?"
Min and Praew: Their dynamic is slower, like a kind of "cure," you know? Praew seems very mature and wants to give Min the security to open up and love. I find this very sweet and it breaks some of the tension of the other couples; it's a great contrast and creates balance for the plot.
Sasha and Gorya: I didn't think they matched, and this is the 3rd MilkLove GL I've seen and I still have the same thought: They have no chemistry! Besides, I can't like Sasha because she has the personality I hate most: "The man who believes he's irresistible and doesn't take no for an answer." Sasha can't accept that a woman doesn't like her! So when she finds one, she becomes a kind of "trophy" that she needs to "conquer." And the worst part of this behavior is that when she can't win the woman over, Sasha lies to Gorya to make her feel bad.
PS: Sasha and Bambi may have similar behaviors, but they are different. Because Bambi knows that Prim has feelings for her and that's why she doesn't give up, because when she does something, Prim always ends up giving in... Letting Gorya sleep at her house, wanting to take her home after a night out, etc. However, Gorya made it clear in every way that she WANTS NOTHING to do with Sasha, and yet Sasha doesn't give up. I get angry every time Sasha shows up.

A good production with a rushed and poorly developed romantic plot.
I liked the choice of lens used in the series, with that "serious drama" feel. In general, the series is well-produced and has great acting, but the main thing for me will always be the story, and the biggest mistake in the series is precisely its main point: The development of the romance:😐 The development of the romance is too rushed! And because of this "rush," we can't connect with the story. At the beginning of episode 1, the protagonists don't even know each other, and by the end of episode 2, they've already gone through so many ups and downs that it gives the impression that the story is already over! And the bad thing is that we didn't even get the middle part, where the beginning of the relationship appears! So the impression is that we saw the beginning and the end of a romance movie... In other words: We didn't create any connection with the couple, and some romantic lines lose their meaning. It's like starting a romantic series halfway through! 😬
😭They skipped all the "First times" at the beginning of a relationship, so the romance became bland! We didn't get their first romantic dinner, their first night out together, the first time introducing themselves as "girlfriend" to their friends, the first text message exchange with that smiling face, their first weekend together, their first sexual encounter, nothing... They skipped all that. We only got their first kiss, but it was very quick, without them even knowing each other properly, and then they skipped months of their relationship, so their kiss NOW doesn't cause "butterflies in the stomach" anymore, because they've been together for months, so they've already kissed and had sex a lot... We just didn't see it. Everything now will have that air of "naturalness" and not the butterflies in the stomach of "wow, the protagonist is nervous because she's never done this before with her girlfriend, and since I'm waiting to see this in time, let's get nervous together and enjoy the scene"... Instead, they made a 2-minute music video with silent scenes of them being happy and skipped 3 months of their relationship.
Another bad thing is that romantic phrases and declarations lose their meaning. For example, Arisa says, "I can be myself with you," and in theory, the viewer should watch and think, "That's true! How romantic," but what we think is, "When were you 'yourself' with Lyla? I didn't see that... Is she being sincere or is it just lip service?"... Do you understand? If we haven't seen anything related to their relationship, we can't connect with those moments or get emotional. It becomes a loose phrase without depth, without a scene, and nothing to base it on. It's the same as her saying, "I already won a tap dancing contest."🤷♀️
🙄 Another thing I didn't like was Arisa's attitude. First, she decides that the 2-minute video (3 months of relationship) meant nothing and asks Lyla to disappear from her life; then, she decides it did mean something and insists on getting back together with Lyla. In other words: Arisa decides whether they are dating or not, and nothing prevents her from changing her mind again in two episodes. She's not being honest with Lyla! She could have just said she was confused and needed time to think. That it was better to break up. She didn't need to be a jerk and make Lyla feel used!
In one scene, she gets angry because of Lyla's "lie" and says, "I forgive you, but we'll never lie to each other again," and in the same episode, there's Arisa, lying to Lyla again and making a fool of her.
📢"But that's the story: Love conquers revenge. Arisa is using Lyla to get revenge, but then she will fall in love with her and give up on revenge"
👉Arisa WAS ALREADY Lyla's girlfriend, and WAS ALREADY in love with her when she decided to use her girlfriend to get revenge. So if in the end Arisa says: "I wanted revenge, so I decided to use you but ended up falling in love," she'll be lying! Because she already loved Lyla, she already knew she loved Lyla, she was already dating her, and even so she decided to use her.
Regarding the revenge, I also feel that the series is moving too fast, as if it were a fanfic where each chapter has to have several things happen to hook the viewer, but it's not as bad as the development of the romance.
Could my opinion change? Yes, definitely, but if they started development making so many mistakes, it will be difficult to reverse. My hope is that revenge will be good.
PS: The soundtrack also falters at times because it sometimes disappears completely out of nowhere. It's simply cut off, just like that...

A refreshing, funny, and well-produced series.
I had a good feeling ever since I saw the trailer!Episodes 1 and 2: The series is very funny, well-produced with a good, dynamic script and well-developed characters. Right away we understand the personality, desires and dreams of the characters, and how they intend to get where they want to be (That's how I like it!). Even the secondary characters are charming (Jiu is my favorite character in the series!).
In addition, the series' visuals are unique! Both Si's mansion and Klao's farm are very beautiful, different from the usual settings used in other productions.

I believe Englot will end their partnership in grand style.
To begin with, what I can say is: The acting isn't bad, it's quite different from what we've seen in other GLs from the duo, and I liked that.The dynamic is interesting, with a good comedic tone. I liked the locations used for the series and the basis of the script. I think I'll like this Englot GL (I couldn't like the others, I'm sorry). I even believe it will be my favorite of the duo. In addition, we'll have the return of the cousins!! Lom has already made an appearance (And what an appearance!), and we may soon see Din. Besides all that, we'll have Char hitting on P'Fah, and Engfa all awkward, not knowing where to turn!!! Finally, this dynamic between the duo! I was curious to know if we'd have an attacking Char. The first episode was a bit rushed, with an avalanche of events. It seems like they condensed 3 episodes into 1, hahaha...
