SWEET
It wasn't quite what I expected, but I still genuinely enjoyed this series for the most part. I do think some things could've been done differently for a better result, but overall this series definitely is worth the hype.Things I liked:
1. The main character's dynamic is so wholesome. They are adorable together, I really like their opposite personalities.
2. Great chemistry.
3. All of the kind and romantic gestures Jeong Woo does for Jiwon.
4. Friends. They were so funny, and I loved how supportive they were.
Things I disliked:
1. Jiwon hiding his relationship with Jeong Woo from their friends. I understand that he is worried about people finding out and their reaction, but he is selling it far too hard and for far too long. Especially since they are their friends, hiding it from them is insane.
I also understand that it's his first-ever relationship, but his boyfriend clearly said that it hurts him, but he continued doing the same thing.
2. Jiwon pissed me off incredibly in the 7th episode. I just wish they didn't add all that drama in one episode.
3. I really wished for the side couple to actually become a couple. Instead, we just got teased a few times, and that's it. I really loved them together; they truly deserve a separate mini-series or at least a special episode.
Overall, as I said, I enjoyed watching this series and probably will rewatch it again someday!

So sweet it gave me toothache
Strongberry comes yet again with another beauty.Omg I'm in love, seriously that was so good that my only problem with this mini series, is that it was too short.
From acting to camera work everything was so good, I was smiling like an idiot from start till the end.
The confession in the first episode almost made cry, the way everything was just so perfect about it.
That was definitely one of the best short series/films i ever watched.
100% new comfort series to watch when feeling down just to relive the happines it gave me.

Disgusting
Who needs a good plot when you can just put sexual assault in every scene and call it a day!Not my first time watching it, I've watched it before probably around the time it came out and back then I didn't really enjoy it, but I also didn't realize all integrity of how bad things were.
I understand that the name is “Obsessed”, but there is a big difference between being obsessed and just sexually assaulting another person just cause you feel like it. It's hard to expect a healthy dynamic from something with this name, but they went beyond being unhealthy.
It is terrible, and it shocks me that there are still people trying to defend it and say that it's a masterpiece. A dumpster fire is all it is and there's nothing that can change my opinion on that, sadly.

Both too much and not enough
Both japanese and thai adaptations had their own goods and bads, but in my personal opinion, thai adaptation was quite underwhelming comparing to the japanese one.Feels like they tried to do a lot of stuff and instead of doing less but good, they did a lot with much lower quality.
Things I liked:
1. Sweet and wholesome series with a lot of cute moments.
2. Music.
3. Kongthap is a big green flag.
4. Chinzhilla's concert. That was a cute reminder of the My School President.
5. University. I liked the way both couples had discussions about future studying and what their plans for the future are.
Things I disliked:
1. Quite a lot of product commercials. While I understand that it helps a lot GMMTV with producing other series, it's still getting annoying at a certain point.
2. Too many sound effects. I feel like it's an ongoing problem with some of GMMTV projects, and it is pretty irritating.
3. Too much low quality stuff. As I said before, they bit off more than they can chew, tried to do everything and ended up doing nothing.
4. Could've been shorter and wouldn't even lose much of the plot. At some point, this series started feeling too draggy.
Overall, it wasn't too bad, but I had higher expectations for it. Especially since it was GeminiFourth and they had two great projects previously.

GREENEST FLAGS
Underrated gem, can't believe I found it absolutely accidentally and haven't heard anybody talking about it before.Green flag on green flag, so sweet and wholesome. This should be an example for so many bl series.
It was an incredibly good watch and I cannot stop thinking about it, it's just that good.
The things I liked:
1. Great communication. Main leads had a good way of communicating not only when they had problems or disagreements, but also when it came to communicating their boundaries.
2. Respect. While both main characters were really respectful towards each other, I really want to highlight the way God was treating Diew. He was so incredibly respectful when it comes to Diew's boundaries, without spoiling, I just want to say that this man deserves the world for that.
3. So much cute and sweet moments.
4. Nice funny moments.
5. Extroverts/Introverts. They did a good job at showing more in depth how it works and that being extrovert or introvert doesn't necessarily mean being outgoing and extremely social or being shy and quiet. That it's not just black and white and more of a gray area in the way that it's all depends on the person themselves and also who they are with and where.
6. Friends. Omg these friends were so wonderful, they were so supportive and so nice.
7. Side couple. I loved Beer and Wan, their story was super cute, and I loved them since the first episode.
8. Consent. I feel like a lot of bl's lack in that, but there's nothing better than mutual consent with lots of love.
9. Khun Shy!!! Not much to say here, he was definitely the star of the show.
10. Supportive grandpa.
There were only a few things I wasn't too fond of, but I didn't lower my rating because of them.
So things I disliked:
1. Voiceover. The voiceover at some moments were just plain bad, but it didn't upset me that much.
2. Drama with the mother in the last episode. I feel like it was quite unnecessary and just too much with everything else going on.
Other than that, I absolutely loved this series, and it easily became one of my comfort series that I will rewatch again and again.

Just kind of bland
It's a nice heartwarming series, but it is just a bit bland and boring.Things I liked:
1. The side couple was quite cute, a bit more on a “toxic” side, but it's nothing crazy.
2. I really liked the dynamic between the main couple.
3. Lots of cute and sweet moments.
4. Series has an enjoyable humor.
5. A lot of supportive parents.
Things I disliked:
1. A lot of cliches and just overused stuff.
2. Overused sound effects.
3. Ten's father and his ways of disciplining and “educating” his son.
4. The way Unky reacted to his friends having “secrets” from him, while I can understand him being upset. His reaction was still quite jarring and the way he went about the whole situation was not the best in my opinion.
5. It is slow and could've been significantly shorter without even losing any of the plot.
Overall it was quite nice and enjoyable but would be much better if it was shorter.

Beautiful
That was a great series, I really enjoyed watching. It is sweet with good communication from main characters and no unnecessary drama involved. Even though at first I was a bit sceptical, I can gladly say I enjoyed it more than a Japanese adaptation. While both of them are a great series, Thai adaptation just got more of a special place in my heart.There were a few things that I did found annoying at times, but I'd want to start with the things I liked:
1. Great communication. As I mentioned previously, in this series you can see two adults who are good at communicating and resolving their problems without unnecessary fights and drama. It was satisfying to see it since it is sadly a rare occurrence.
2. A lot of fluff. I really enjoyed how sweet and cute this series is, that's something you can watch after watching something really sad. The cute moment's from this series made my heart ache, it was the sweetest.
3. Humour. All the funny moments were nice to see as well, they were good timed and definitely weren't too cringy, as it could be at times.
4. Acting. There's really not much to say about it. It was good.
5. Family. I really loved Achi's parent's, seeing how they made Karan feel so welcomed, and the way they were so happy for their son.
I also liked Karan's sister and her way of communicating with their mom, to make her understand Karan's real feelings.
Now, when it comes to the things I didn't enjoy as much:
1. SO MANY ADS. I want to start by saying that i of course understand that it helps with funding a series, but honestly that might be my first time seeing so much product ads in one series. Even though I understand how much it helps them, it's still was pretty annoying at times.
2. Side m/m couple. This one is my personal opinion, maybe I am the problem since in both Japanese and Thai adaptation I was really not a big fan of the secondary couple. While in Thai adaptation I enjoyed them more, it still wasn't my cup of tea.
3. Pai's character. She is both one of my favourite side characters and also, one of the characters I found annoying. She was great with a lot of stuff, but when it came to her own story, she was acting really weird, and it felt like she was trying to play dumb at times.
But even than that, the series was fantastic, and I definitely can recommend it!!

Definitely need more
That was great!I really liked:
1. The chemistry that the two leads had, and the way Yang was excellent at communicating.
2. The visuals were beautiful.
3. I liked the plot, there were some clichés in it, but it wasn't too annoying.
4. The acting was also good.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching it and I would love if they made this into a full length series.

Impossible watch
Honestly I don't even know what to say except for how terrible it is, I truly tried finishing it, but it's honestly impossible.The cringe and stupidity is just too much. It hurt to try to watch this series.
The only reason I even started this series is Pao/his actor, and I wanted to give this series a try even though I saw so much negativity around it. I tried watching it for him and the side couple that he is a part of. But I watched 7 episodes and the whole time we had one side couple interaction and maybe a few minutes of screen time for both of them.
There was only one thing I truly liked about this series, and it's Phloen, I liked his actor he is such a sweet character and honestly deserves so much more.
Other than that it is just a trash, I'm sorry, but it is actually terrible. Insanely slow and boring. All the problems are just sucked out of the thin air and disappear as fast as they occurred with no explanations.
It is really choppy, so much stuff is going on “behind the screen”, they have a conflict and then all of a sudden time skip to the next day when everything is magically fixed with no explanation.
Tin keeps acting like a literal child, it is annoying and honestly sickening. Park is just plain annoying with his random mood swings and cold demeanor. Their dynamic is so jarring.
When I saw that the screenwriter for this series is the same person as Park's actor, it told me everything I needed to know.
Overall, it is just plainly bad, and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody unless they ask me for the bottom of the barrel type of BL.

First impression
So cute, I'm really obsessed with it now, and I can't wait for the next episodes. This series so far has truly exceeded my expectations. While I thought it would just be like any other Japanese school romance, it is so much more somehow, and I love it. I really hope it will continue to be that good.Episode 1:
* I'm obsessed with the way Kanata is obsessed with Akira. Thinking about every time they looked each other in the eyes, looking for where to buy a CD player after Akira let him borrow a CD, and wanting to see him when things aren't going too well.
I don't know if he understands how much he is in love with Akira, but I kind of love seeing him like that.
* Kanata's relationship with his brother and their whole story makes me so sad. I really hope Kanata can resolve his insecurities and fix his relationship with his brother.
Episode 2:
* Akira reminds me so much of the main character from another series called "Our Youth."
* Both Akira and Kanata have their past traumas that they try to forget or overcome, and I love that they can find peace in each other when it gets too hard.
* Kanata choosing to go back to playing soccer made me so happy. I'm glad Akira helped him overcome this obstacle on his way to doing the thing he loves.
* Akira asking Mizuki not to tell Kanata about his "tutor" made me feel icky and scared about what kind of tutor he is, especially since he does look quite older than Akira. I really don't like that. As well as Akira saying that the version of him that Kanata sees is definitely not the "real" him.
* The more I watch, the sadder it gets. Starting this series, I really didn't expect it to get that serious. I'm definitely not complaining, but my heart hurts lol. I don't want to cry.

First impression
Really strong start. It reminds me a lot of the Japanese series Jack o' Frost. I like the acting, and also the quality of the series itself is pretty good.But yeah, so far, so good—a little bit sad, a little bit cute; hopefully it will be able to keep its momentum.
Where to watch: https://wetv.vip/en/album/z8grnsk4uhwvfb0
Things I liked:
1. Great acting.
2. The main character's boyfriend is extremely understanding and accommodating.
Things I disliked:
1. Communication skills at both the age of 19 and the age of 29 are so terrible, from both the main character and his boyfriend.
2. I don't particularly like the barista who works at the main character's sister's cafe. He is too flirty, in my opinion, for just some barista, especially since I am 100% sure he knows the main character has a boyfriend of 7 years.
3. Main character. I know that it's probably mostly because of his memory loss, but he keeps acting like a 10-year-old brat, and it really pisses me off.

Extremely hard to watch
I really tried to get into it because of all the good comments and reviews on this, but omg, I really hate it. I thought trying to fight through the first minutes would probably be rewarding in the end, but I couldn't even finish the first episode.The acting, if you can call whatever clown show they had in there that, was SO TERRIBLE, I'm not even joking.
The only reason I even started watching this series is because of the actor Tong. Since I saw him perform well in other series of his, I really had some expectations. And after reading all the reviews about how underrated this series is, I just had to give it a go.
Well, that was clearly a mistake. In the end, their so-called “acting” made my skin crawl from cringe. Unbearable watch, Pangpond's acting definitely pissed me off the most. Girl, what are you doing?
At this point it feels like the director was just BEGGING them to perform their worst and to act the cringiest they can.
Putting all that toxicity to the side, I truly believe that it could get better later on if you just sit through all the cringe. But I just couldn't do that, so if it really gets better later on, I would like to apologize for my outburst. I still am not watching that or giving it another chance though ;))
So yeah, not much else to say except for… Never again, I'm good on that.
