Mahiro (and Komichi) has done an absolutely superb job of hurting his own feelings this entire series. I'm exhausted with him. How old is he supposed to be. If he were 14-18 I could probably forgive his immature, self-absorbed and entitled behavior. As it is? I cannot. Further, I know people love Yutaro, for some reason , but that man has never had good chemistry with anyone on screen.
Sato was a bit frustrating due to his inexperience but always understandable and believable. And at least he always TRIED to communicate. But of course then Mahiro would just talk over him and run away.
The series was okay for most of the run there were a couple of truly infuriating writing decisions that made me want to pull my hair out. A lot "sweet moments" between the couples were reused multiple times with different couple... that was weird. Hated most of the final episode. REALLY hated the whole The Spiciest thing at the end.
PS - The user reviews included in the review section above are absolutely view and disgusting. And I don't know why this site keeps letting a homophobic contributor run rampant all around the site. Think its time to delete my MDL account. I hate it here.
Tin: You sound like a father remembering raising his child. Do you want to be my father or my boyfriend?That's…
Did a grown a$$ man really get in to a fight with his father/brother/boyfriend, storm off to his room and put a, "No boys allowed" sign on his door? I'm done. Tin is a literal child.
Phloen is in the hospital minding his own business trying to heal. Park sends his son/brother/boyfriend in to go check on him. Park then kidnaps a little girl and gets jealous his son/brother/boyfriend is talking to the boy that he just sent Tin to go talk to. (Mind you, Phloen has not bothered Tin one single time since Tin said he wasn't interested. Except, the one day that Tin lost his bag. Phloen returned it and left.)
Tin: You sound like a father remembering raising his child. Do you want to be my father or my boyfriend?
That's what we would all like to know, Tin. What is this creepy father/son, but also brother/brother, but also lover/lover relationship you two have going on? Park's co-workers literally thought Tin was 6 or 7 years old because that's how Park describes his behavior. That's not someone capable of entering an adult relationship with the person that "raised" him.
Just stopping by to apologize to this series. I'm struggling through Tin Tem Jai now and it is so bad that I had to come back here and add a star to my review of A Boss and A Babe. They more of Tin Tem Jai I watch the better Boss/Babe looks by comparison. I know what genuinely awful actually is now. And it is not this series.
Slice of life stories. Low stakes stories. Fluff stories. They only work if you have incredibly compelling characters and/or actors. The kind of people audiences would watch stare at a wall for 3hrs hours.
Tin IS. NOT. THAT. CHARACTER. I have never wanted a character to get hit by the BL Plot Bus of Doom more than I have watching this. I think I owe A Boss and A Babe an apology. At least that had some kind of plot and character motivations. Not to mention Cher was NO WHERE near as annoying as Tin. I'm struggling to stick with it hoping there is more Kanna/Pao...judging by the comments I fell into the trap.
Its been 3 years and I am still not over: 1) RamKing's ending. 2) Bohn getting sexually assaulted and then blamed for it.
PS - Duen allegedly hates lying BUUUUT he lied to Bohn? "I've been looking every where for you and couldn't find you." Lying IMMEDIATELY after experiencing a sexual assault is a normal trauma response. Lying to play mind games is just petty and childish.
Who wrote this? No, seriously. WHO. WROTE. THIS? Someone take their computer away and don't give it back until they have had a nice long think about exactly what they have done. Every other GMMTV production should feel ashamed to come out of the same studio.
The vanishing plotlines. The illogical characterizations. The plot holes. The forced "chemistry". The pointless "drama". I don't believe a single storyline gets an actual resolution. Character motivations make no sense. The dialogue is really awkward (But, to be fair, maybe it works better in Thai.)
Its technically a sad ending that they try to cover up a bit. I heard this was meant to be a prequel series. And the real series would have fleshed out the story I suppose. Now we shall never know.
It was cute. I had fun. Kind of fell apart in the second half. The execution of the side couples was SHAMEFUL. I can't believe they thought that was okay.
Sato was a bit frustrating due to his inexperience but always understandable and believable. And at least he always TRIED to communicate. But of course then Mahiro would just talk over him and run away.

Boss: *Is super sad. But waits for a year.*
Cher: *Comes back like nothing happened.*
Boss: Can I join you in the shower?
Cher: No. Learn to wait.
I don't promote/endorse violence. However, I would've looked the other way if Boss decided to strangle Cher.
