A cute simple series
Since I’m not the biggest fan of high school-focused BLs, I initially didn’t think Boys in Love would be a series for me. But with the overwhelming response online, I decided to give the show a go — and I’m glad I did.
Boys in Love was a fun show, with a strong young cast and a variety of romantic dynamics. At first, I thought Kim and Mon would be my favorite storyline. The beginning of their romance — love at first sight — was really cute. But as the series went on, I started to realize that Mon is a bit of a toxic boyfriend. Kim spent a good part of the series afraid Mon would be mad at him about something — and that fear made sense, since Mon was angry in almost every situation. Still, in the end, they are a cute couple and deserved to end up together. Major kudos to Aston and Chokun — GMM really found a strong pairing there.
I don’t have much positive or negative to say about Kit and Shane. They weren’t bad by any means, just a bit bland. I didn’t see much chemistry between Luke and Mick either.
Podd and Papang as Nut and Tan were the perfect mix of chaotic and sweet — a fun, older couple dynamic. I really liked the vibe of their workplace romance. It’s a shame we didn’t get a kiss! I’d love to see them paired again in another series.
Now, Per and Tar were the biggest surprise for me when I look at the series as a whole. You could see from episode 1 that Per might have feelings for Tar, who was completely oblivious. But after the party and their kiss, things began to evolve, and you could tell — bit by bit — that they weren’t just the “single guys hanging out” anymore.
I loved the scene where Tar confirms he’s not mad about Per being his first kiss. But my favorite moment was the rose scene in the finale, where Per pretty much confirms he has feelings for Tar. I really hope GMM gives Ken and Paul another series soon.
