Very Thai Lakorn style
If you are watching this just because it's a BL you might not fully be able to enjoy it cause honestly there are very few moments of romance. It is more on mystery. semi-thriller and focused less on the romance and more on the plot. Which I didn't exactly dislike. Rather sometimes I like to watch plot driven drama where romance is a side character.I liked the chemistry of the lead actors but the very little romantic moments between them didn't let the chemistry bloom to a even greater level. It's a slow burn but there is a way to do slow burn right. You need to show progression to keep the viewer hooked. However they did have few more plot points to keep the viewers hooked with all the mystery behind Tonkhao's death.
Acting and cinematography wise this is very much Thai lakorn. With all the slow motions, picture quality, dialogues and zoomed in shocked faces this gave me the taste of Thai lakorns I used to watch back in 2017. However compared to how far the BL industry has came forward with great quality content and budget this might not be up to the mark yet again highlighting social injustice, the character development of Charn and overall the plot is the selling point for this show and I absolutely liked it. Whoever wrote Charn's character did an outstanding job and Film (the actor playing) gave a mind-blowing performance playing a complex character like him. I could feel his pain. He might not be justified for his actions but we could see why and how he turned out to be the way he is.
I wish the camera work was a bit better, all it lacked was a good quality cinematography and I wouldn't mind giving it a solid 8.5. It's a great watch though.

Did I enjoy it? Maybe. Am I invested in it? Yes
This is the exact type of storylines I avoid but I couldn't stop myself from watching this drama. The reason why I started watching it is because I love racing circuits but something about it made me so much invested in it. SO many things were happening all at once with racing, human trafficking, sub gender omegaverse, special power, love story , betrayal etc. etc but it definitely made me invested enough not to drop the series midway.The plot might have few holes however the suspense was there. I didn't know exactly whom to trust. Othe rthan Tony there were not set villain. Everyone were just pawns of Tony. At one point I felt liek Charlie and Jeff are working for TOny and then few more clues we got debunking it. The plot twists were great and made my jaw drop.
In terms of acting everyone did amazing. Pavel aced his emotional scenes to the point he made me cry. SPecal mention to Nut Supunut for playing a character completely opposite of him and making it so believable I thought that is real life personality as well. Also I usually don't like when there are too many couples but this one I loved all the side couples (and potential side couples... S2 I am looking at you.)
The direction and the cinematography was nice. The romance felt a little loose and should have been highlighted more. We didn't get to see them develop feelings for each other as much however the post relationship scenes were well done. The racing and everything else were filmed efficiently which created a thrill.
Again I am not sure why even I watched this when Omegaverse is not my thing but this is a show you can 100% gossip about.
Anyways I LOVE YOU NUT

Finally a University drama done right
Overall the acting, casting, cinematography of this series is really perfect. I am not a big fan of university fluffs but they did this right with this one. The ensemble casting was done correctly for the first time where all stories got time to develop, all characters got time to shine and all of us were able to feel it.P10L is probably the drama that is closest to real life university life so this made it more enjoyable as we get to reminiscence our own memories.
ArmArc story was very typical but the moments shined well. The only other time I have seen ForceBook was in Only Friends and I thought it would be hard for me to get rid of their characters but they truly made me believe they are ArcArm.
YothaGun on the surface level felt very basic however they showed great emotional development, character depth and mostly the phase of realization was so well made. It was worth the hype. Must have been some destiny but PerthSanta chemistry skyrocketed.
Now I never thought I would reach the FaifahWine part ever cause I tend to get bored with long series but I COULDN"T drop it. Character like Faifah is exactly what I have always wanted a BL series to explore/ Characters like him, sweet, caring, bright, cheerful, funny are often put as a side character for comedic relief but we never get to see their pain. Faifah is probably one of the most well written charcater ever made. FaifahWine is the closest to a realistic ideal couple. Going up an down and learning to take things as it is. Zero unnecessary drama.
Okay but KlaoWa stole it for me. They DELIVERED. AuoBoom delivered so hard in this. We didn't get to see much of their development however the post development scenes were amazing. They are also very realistic couples but with unnecessary drama.
MarcPoon also did a very good job. They mostly felt more like a breath of fresh air between ArcArm back and forth. Special mention to Po for making everything so much funnier. Best boy ever. Emi as Pun was a slay. We needed a girl in P10L. Fluke showed great development.
Over all they all did really amazing. All the cameos from the renowned GMMTV artists made it so much more special. I hope everyone give it a shot. It will definitely give you a good time.

A well made character driven story
This type of dramas are honestly not my type but I still gave it a chance because I wanted to see a character with visual impairment. These stories makes me understand how people with disability thinks and acts and their struggle and this drama specifically gave me the insight I wanted. I love how they highlighted Day's insecurity, inferior complexity because of the blindness he faced. We often sympathize with blind people (or any disable person) but we can't empathize and ends up pitying them. This drama highlights how they are also normal like us, just a something a little different. I hope this becomes an eye opener to never pity them and treat them like a normal person.Acting wise Sea did an amazing job. He truly made me believe he can't see. Jimmy really wore his bad boy persona so well. Need to mention Mark as Night. I don't know this boy fits every character he plays. He truly made me feel his pain. The drama was so well directed in terms of cinematography. All the scenes were shot so beautifully. Aof really knows how to make things appear pleasing.
I know a lot of people disliked the ending. It might feel slightly rush but I liked it. I liked the development of MhokDay's relationship. The pace was perfect. I could see them falling for each other, which I think a lot of dramas miss to showcase. Overall it was a great watch/ Last Twilight is more than a BL. It truly highlighted a huge part of the society we tend to pity or forget.

Sweet story with a hint of nostalgia
The cast did a fabulous job at acting. The chemistry especially of Joong Film and Earth Namtan surprised me so much. Truly shows how great of an actors/ actresses these people are. Special mention to Aye for always getting mature and heavy roles and doing an extraordinary job carrying them. Jimmy, Punpun, Jamie and Mond, they all gave their very best.The storyline is something that's realistic but at the same time very unlikely to happen. But I quiet enjoyed it. I really loved the defined characteristics of each person. All the characters got to shine at some point.
The cinematography was good. Maybe the white filter was a bit too much for me but considering how this drama is more on the soft cutesy stuff I understand the point (please don't do it again). The school scenes gave me so much so much of nostalgia of my school days.
The outfits of the ladies were killer. I can say it was a well produced show with great actors.

The teaching of value of life was good but felt a little too rushed
Off, Janhae, Louis and especially Mond did an impeccable job with the acting. Mond is a brilliant actor. He really made me loose my mind on his character Sun. The story has few plot holes. I felt like if it was longer with at least 4 more episodes it could have developed well. But it was enjoyable nonetheless. The teaching about value of life was great. It truly shows how the unequal society tricks people based on money. How the rich gets richer and poor gets poorer. The suspense were quite good. Could have definitely been better.Was this review helpful to you?
Interesting, thrilling, deals with a topic we rarely see in dramas
Home School turned out to be quite different then what I thought it would be. It dealt with a topic that we rarely see in entertainment market, that is dealing with bad parents. This drama showed the abusive behavior most parents shows to their kid in a very raw manner, without fabricating it. They really showed the parents in a bad light till the end and didn't round it off with the parents accepting their kids and being good because let's be honest that doesn't happen. Someone who is abusive will remain abusive [coming from someone who ahs face abusive parents for year]. So I am glad at least somewhere I felt heard. I loved how they showed the meaning of friendship. Those kids who didn't have good parents gained good friends through Home School. The back story of Master Amin was really interesting and so was the back story of Maki and Run. I like show all the kids got to have scenes to show their back stories. It helped showing the different types of abusive parents are there. They dealt with social problems, female empowerment and many more things in one series. However I was quite disappointed with the turn of the story towards the end. It could have been a bit more interesting. Nonethless I enjoyed it. Also I love WHiteNai so much!!Was this review helpful to you?
GMMTV needs to bring back dramas like this
I have recently watched 3 Will Be Free and while I was expecting it to be comedic centric [something like Dirty Laundry] this did exceed my expectations. It's a romantic thriller however it does touches so many subjects like Polyamory, transgender, LGBTQ+ and much more. Every episode was thrilling to watch. Sure they could have given the characters more depth but they did have enough back story. I am glad we have series like this that is different from typical romantic dramas. So good to see Tay, Mild and Joss in roles like this.Was this review helpful to you?

Every moment was thrilling
It's very rare of me to rewatch something that is not on the bright and fun side but for Bad Genius I can rewatch it 100 times because of the intriguing storyline. Every scene I had to hold my breath. It's not just a great drama but a drama that is going to hit you hard and will make you think. First let's come at the story line. I know this is same as the movie but saying overall the plot of this is fantastic. The way they cheated for the second time, if not executed well could have been repetitive but nope it got even better. The cast was young but they portrayed the emotions well and the huge character development of the characters, especially Bank completely going against his morals for money showcase the society's dark side in the rawest way possible. It challenged the education system and how the system is also cheating us. How bribing, giving question papers beforehand and trying to take the scholarship from a well deserving student happens everywhere. I loved the ending and how they wrapped up everything. They didn't give up but rather chose to change their method by following the rules and then going at the top to change it, It left me with so much satisfaction. While Lin confessing might have angered a lot because Bank was the one being affected the most but it was for the better. It put a hard stop at everything and they could restart again but this time with something positive, something better for the bettermentWas this review helpful to you?

Story about how friendship works in real life
It's true that the ending was rushed but regardless I still enjoyed it. I think while the romantic aspect of this drama flopped big time for for me I quite enjoyed their friendship and how they got closer and then parted ways. Wednesday Club helped them find a purpose, made them better person and helped them grow. I got a bit emotional at the scene where Kong imagined all of them together. The best part of Wednesday Club, aside from the incredible acting is definitely how they captured the friendship of the real world at present.Ohm is an incredible actor and did great portraying Kong however I couldn't see his character much in the story. Nani as Palee is kinda so and so. Film did good as Tam but I feel like she gets very similar roles so her acting kinda feels repetitive but she did well. Satang actually played Peem well. I know Joong was supposed to play this role but I think Satang fits it more. Same goes for Film. I think Film fit the character more than Jane. Phuwin as Kul had me shocked. I would say Phuwin did very well cause every time he appeared I got excited lol. It is very new for him too. Kay did a great job being in character the most.
Now the real game changer of this story would definitely be May. Oh my gosh yall please give Piploy more main roles. She literally kept the show alive. I loved her character the most. I can't believe this is the same Piploy from The Shipper. SHe had incredible chemistry with Kong. I wish they get a series together. My probably had the best character development in the series followed by Tam finally standing up for herself.
All in all, maybe some people might not like it but I really found Wednesday Club to be a good show. And yes from the begining I have always been a KongMay supporter.

Went beyond my expectations
The plot is quite cliche but I like how there are very few plotholes, which is quite rare in Thai series as most Thai series has ending that looses the plot. But NLMG is very well written and well scripted. None of the scenes felt like it was not required or exaggerated. It's a show quite comfortable to watch without cringe scenes. I liked how even the jealousy scenes are showcased in a great way. The plot twists were predictable but what really threw me off was Palm's mother's death. I did cry when Palm left the letter for Neung. That was also unexpected. The emotions of each characters are portrayed well and totally valid. I love the color grading of the drama. It's so aesthetic. Phuwin is a great actor. Pond has improved so much. Overall it was a great drama.Was this review helpful to you?

Background story is great
I think it's something I would binge watch often whenever I am bored because it's an easy to watch series. The main leads did have chemistry. I don't know why everyone says they don't. I think it's the kiss scenes that were awkward but other than that it was great. They also highlighted b*llying in school and how things are handled if the offender is in power. I especially liked the way they showed how the teacher was wrong and turned a blind eye. It's quite typical in those aspects except the background of Kanghan. While in such serieses with a rich father the dad's usually very strict ir doesn't care about the child and sets high expectations from them. But this one is different. Here Kanghan acted the way he did was because his father never set any expectations from him and he felt neglected. That sounds like something everyone would want but as someone who has gone through the same I could relate alot. I think this is the best thing of the plot. Also I liked the intensity of the story. I think it's worth watching.Was this review helpful to you?
Carried the value of it's one of a kind concept
The season 2 didn't disappoint. While compared to season the mystery elements were less confusing as we already got an idea of what was going on (S1 made me left me confused in every scene in the best possible way) this season focuses more on how everything came together to bring the concept of Enigma.The plot was great, amazing, astonishing. With a cleared picture of Ajin and the concept of black magic we progress to see the effect of black magic in real life through a very specific element. We got the story of Enigma and some back story for Ajin. I liked how they kept the continuation of the concept from s1 about women being pitted against women. S1 it was school and education while s2 is all about the competition of the industry and ending with a note of the dynamics of the power hierarchy of our society. I loved how they added the elements of Thai culture and traditions. The dress and the modern traditional Thai dance was everything to me.
Every scene made me stop breathing. It was intense. The way every scene is filmed with so much of effort, the crew and cast truly deserves a big round of applause. However if I think about s1 it was more interesting, might be because of the more profound element of mystery as we were still trying to figure out what was going on. Enigma Black stage was more about what will happen.
The cast did a great job. Their acting brought shivers to my spine. It truly felt like I was in the Enigma universe. Win has grown so much as an actor. He truly delivered. Namtan, there's nothing to talk about her. She is just fantastic with her expression and dialogues. Mint in her first role went beyond my expectations. Jingjing really took on her role of being Jew. She never slipped even for once.
I wish we have more dramas like this. A S3, no even a S10 of Enigma will never be too much. I hope more people can recognize the amazing Thai film and drama industry beyond BL and GL. There is so much to explore and Thai industry is such a risk taker for creating stories so out of the box like Enigma.

One of the best crime mystery thriller I have ever seen
What a roller coaster ride with a great ending. Every moment of the drama kept me on my toes. Every episode I held my breath. The suspense done well, scenes directed beautifully and with top notch acting Hide & Sis is easily one of the best dramas I have ever seen.There was little to no plot holes. The plot went amazing, the motives of everything was rational enough. Every little details held a lot of meaning. They managed to keep the suspense till the very end. The plot is well made, maintained and very absorbing.
The cinematography and direction was splendid. Whoever color graded it did an amazing job. The stylists understood the assignment, loved the monochrome shades. All the scenes were directed so intensely I couldn't move my eyes from the screen even for a second.
The actresses, Janhae, Piploy, Jingjing, Ploypacg and Aye deserve a standing ovation for what they did with their roles. I always love watching Chimon in dark characters, he is made for this. Luke, Gawin, Mond, Guy and everyone else involved did justice to their characters.
What a well made drama. If you love crime mystery thriller this is what you need to watch.

High school BLs are not mature? Watch this
Putting aside my fangirling self on the young and new faces, this is one of the best BLs of 2025 fight me. The acting, considering this is the first series or at least first with much more screen time (except Chokun) and they did THIS well in terms of acting. The drama exceeded my expectations on everything, plot, acting, direction, cinematography and character development.The plot is quite simple of high school boys falling in love but what sets this part is how they tackle certain situations with utmost maturity and sincerity. I like how this is the most non-toxic yet least boring series I have seen. The characters has flaws, they aren't perfect but at the end of the day they talk to sustain a healthy relationship. This is the closest I have seen characters being to the real life people. All the characters with their worries and flaws and trying to rectify, learn and grow is such a great sight to witness. Another great part of the story is how they do not solely focus on romance. They showcased the teenager's high school life so well. All the worries about future and their love and studies and everything. It made it so real.
The cinematography and direction gives me butterflies. Not a single boring moment. Whoever did the color grading did a fantastic job. It's so Narak and fluffy. The minute details in the plot and in the direction sets this drama apart from all high school BLs.
The actors, while being young and little experience did a splendid job. The crying scenes were so well done. It felt very real that it brought my emotions out. The behind the scenes are an added bonus. These 6 cuties are so cute. Special mention to Papang and Podd for delivering once again. Never knew I would love romance between teachers in a high school drama so cute.
