That one comfort show with 0 comfort.
This has been on my watchlist for a long time and I was kinda talking myself out of it each time I was about to start it. I was afraid this genre isn't my type, since I usually get really confused watching hospital and police drama's, I was quite curious about MaxTul since I haven't seen anything with them together till this series. I only followed Tul a lot given his engagement with Mew. I liked how they explained medical terms. Like I mentioned, I was afraid I wouldn't understand but it was quite alright. Usually with Hollywood they make everything wayyyy too complicated. What I love about Thai drama's is how they're so easy to understand when it comes to topics like politics, police and business.It was fun to watch a new acting couple and genuinely not knowing exactly who Max was, so I didn't know who the love interest would be when I started this show. It was funny how I hated him at first as a character and I honestly thought Dr.Bun would end up with inspector M. After I finished it right now I'm laughing like crazy about me thinking this. I do rlly like inspector M though!!
I'm gonna be very honest, the only downgrade of this show was the editing. I'm usually not that focused on editing even if I'm a film student who mostly edits. But I noticed a few compositions I REALLY hate and kinda distracted me, I'm probably a bit too alert on it but I genuinely can't stand it. Especially with flashbacks. The way they move feels very unrealistic and then it should've.
Nobody listening to fucking Dr.Bun irritates me. He is clearly right but they are ignoring every single evidence. I already found a lot of the police suspicious but I can't believe I also thought Inspector M was suspicious. Also them trying to frame and erase everything just got me on guard. Genuinely one of the most stupid police I've ever seen in a series, I'm sorry M but this includes you...
This will maybe be a bit of a weird comment, especially since I'm asexual. But the Nc scenes were SO good, the emotion and the acting. In my opinion it's one of the hardest things to make and they did this just.. so well. I feel like this is one of the best series I've watched when it comes to acting. Definitely planning on watching other series from both actors. I'm not a person that is tooo much into shipping culture + Tul is already engaged so I don't rlly feel the need to see MaxTul together. I am curious though about their other series.
I love how I used to find Tan suspicious but after like episode 10 he started being more and more trustable, the build up was amazing, I almost didn't notice my feeling about him shifting through the series. If I was Dr.Bun I wouldn't have trusted Tan enough to the point of eventually living with him.
They are like those comfort teachers but in a different job. Fathers keeping everyone safe. I love how basically every teen in this story trusted them and I kinda expected the end with them adopting one of them but I guess not. Well, you don't have to be family to feel the same relation as you do with family. This is also mainly why this is such a comfort series to me.
I'm watching Triangle after this and really excited what that exactly is about. Very good series.

Different than I expected
I'm not sure why I never chose to watch this even if this series has been in my list for a long time and I'm a big Narawin. I wanted something emotional so I decided to choose this one and from the description itself it did sound like an emotional series soooo. I have to say tha after watching this series it might've become on of those "comfort series without comfort". I really feel bad about missing out this fucking banger and poor homophobes, they don't get to see masterpieces like these very often.It was soooo weird watching this as an 18 yeasr old and Phuwin playing 18 years old, since's he's obviously 19-20 years old. He looked way to mature playing a 18 year old. I had to laugh a bit because in the very first scene Phuwin REALLY reminds me of Wilhelm from the Swedish BL Young Royals.
I understand Nuengdiao's mom might've been in shock from her husband dying and very overprotective. She genuinely seems like a sweet woman but one small thing after he died irritated me. She was so fucking stern. I was really surprised when Nueng came out to her and she just casually accepted it. I was totally wrong about Nueng's mom. Palm's dad irritated me actually and I disliked him worse than Nueng's mom. He kept leaving his own kid out of everything even if Nueng clearly said certain things were okay, like driving to school with him. Only later on, of course, I started to get his dad more and more.
The difference between Palm and Nuengdiao being treated is super big, and through the whole series they really highlight this, till the last scene. Nueng is clearly always seen as the 'rich kid' who people hate on because he has money. They try to scam him or are simply jealous. At the whole school it didn't make a lot of sense to me, but it was mentioned Nueng was bullied before aswell, it wasn't new. I don't understand why his mom or the principal never did something about it, but you can clearly notice the bullying being after class so no teachers would notice.
I'm gonna be sooo honest, I forgot about ChimonPerth. And I have to admit, I secretly kinda shipping Nueng and Ben... SHHH. They were kinda cute together and I'm gonna be honest, I feel bad for Ben. Ben clearly had feelings for Nueng since the beginning and you can see the conflict in emotions Nueng has between choosing. He clearly has an eye for Palm butttt he does not refuse Ben specifically. I might feel even worse for Chopper though because bro is genuinely in an unrequited love situation. Poor Ben and Chopper bro.
Respectfully I do NOT like Nuengdiao. I know some people might not like this but hear me out. I grew up extremely poor and kept REALLY understanding Palm's side of the story but because of that I wasn't really looking at Nueng wth a neutral eye. I also didn't like how he kept causing all of the fights and how he broke up w my poor Palm. I get that Nuang has clear depression but I get depression from seeing another fucking fight on my screen.
A bit technical, I'm in fucking love with the colour grading and effects they've used through the whole show. AND I am for sure trying out Roti Sai Mai lmaoo. Actually originally I thought they were talking about Surinamese roti with cotton candy and I was like "huh who would do that?" and then realised they were talking about Roti Sai Mai.

My absolute guilty pleasure
I looked through the reviews after watching all episodes and I'm honestly surprised about the amount of hate on this series. I mean you don't have to like the series of course, everyone's taste is different. However, you can notice some of this hate coming specifically because it's OhmLeng and not OhmNanon. Kinda sad people aren't giving it a try purely because of the ACTORS.The reason I choose to watch it is because the plot sounded really interesting. I do have to say the whole series is VERY different than the description given on sites. I thought the vibes would be a bit a bit more 'crime' ish but it's more like superrrr romantic and cute. It's still serious, but you forget about it.
I fucking love seeing Ohm Thipakorn playing the little brother, he always pulls off the younger brother character so good. I love his role in this series aswell. Just the goofy shipper sibling who does have an emotional side. He can be serious about his family aswell you know?? I loved him in dare you to death aswell and I really hope he'll play more of these roles, it really suits him.
Not gonna lie after watching it, I was still confused why Min had to kidnap Harit/Q (aside for the money). It had to do with his father etc but to be very honest the whole father plot from Q was really confusing and in my opinion didn't need to be this complicated.
The taking care off love language is so adorable and well played. Min can be wayyy to overprotective aswell and it luckily shows the toxic part of that aswell. I love how Min is such a sweet person even if his actions are stupid sometimes. I also love how they lived together and how Min was basically the mother of the house. I feel like he is a super big comfort character to me. He's just so careful. And he cared so much about Q aswell.
One small thin, the whole"poor" but they got a huge house. AND EVEN A PRIVATE GYM BFFR. Even if their house is being sold it's insane how big it is and their second house aswell.
What people also complain about is the series forgetting the plot, which I hafely agree with. Yes, it's a a series about a 'kidnapping' but the whole point is that it takes place after the kidnapping. I am sad they keep forgetting the whole gang following them sort of everywhere.
A big recommend. Genuinely watch it to shape your own opinion but I call this a masterpiece that is ACTUALLY underrated.

Extremely underrated
I don't often watch Kdrama's. Barely ever since the plot often bores me. But sometimes you just randomly decide to watch whatever comes across your Netflix page. This series has a special place in my heart. The clients coming over was sooo funny, adorable but also very emotional. I feel like I can relate to Sin I Rang quite much.What I love about Sin I Rang is that he can understand the emotions of the ghost who come to his office extremely well. At first he was quite took back but after some time he showed real dedication in helping his ghost clients. Also I really loved it when he was around Yun Si Ho, Han So Hyeon and Kim Su-a. It was adorable to see the interactions he had with them.
I didn't like Han Na Hyeon at first, she was to stern and I just don't like her personality. This show did a great job at turning my opinions because I slowly started to love Hyeon. Her character makes a lot of sense and all her actions are related to her backstory and I litterly fell in love with her I totally get you Shin.
I don't understand office language that well, but everything was explained so well. It wasn't very complicated to understand what was going on especially since the ghost clients weren't really there for lawsuits but rather finding out what happened to them and very physiologic.
What I always love is found family, for me the niece and brother in law really felt like found family. Also the priest was soo understanding and soft with his actions. I loved them all and they added a little more love for this series for me. The niece was so cute coupling Shin I rang and Han Na Hyeon together.
The actors are extremely fit for the role aswell, like it doesn't feel like they're just playing but it feels incredibly real. But maybe I consumed to much low quality Thai series.
However, just like other reviews I agree that it was really expecting what was gonna happen. Like it was sooo obvious Han Na was gonna meet her sister and as final Shin I rang his dad. I do reallyyy like the cute endinggg. As someone that doesn't often enjoy Kdrama I will be honest, this series is sooo good and I might wanna watch series like this in the future.

Amazing bl
This is my second rewatch, I'm currently reviewing a lot of stuff I've seen some time ago. Ok where do I begin the OST is super peak and one of my fav OST's, the music in general AAAH. I love it.I love the roles of Gene and Nubsib. Gene's role as introverted person reallyyyy suits the story and it's acted so realistically. Also Nubsib has amazing acting. I find it kinda sad this is their only work out there. I love how they also had that bad engineer thingy. It reminded me of my engineer and they clearly put a lot of effort in it. I FUCKING HATE AEY, yes I felt bad for him sometimes but most of the times he came on the screen he just made me wanna trow my laptop around the fucking room.
The whole industry was so realistic aswell and I'm happy they showed the good and bad sides of the bl industry. It also shows how lgbtq is actually treated within the industry including the unnecessary NSFW scene's that Gene was forced to write. I fucking love how much consent there is between Gene and Nubsib. To be very honest, Nubsibs's character didn't really stick with me since some of the romance (like first meet) seemed a little of the top especially from his side.
One of things with this drama is, is that you just need to be the target audience. I don't know how to explain it but I think you need just give it a go and see what you think about it. I personally love this bl extremely much.

Sometimes you have to listen to your friends.
My friend doesn't like gmmtv or bl's at all, but I do and he supports that. I didn't know what to watch and let him look at a list of drama's so he could chose my next to watch. He chose this series, best decision I've ever let him make hahhhaha.Anyways over to the series. One of my favourite actor pairs of all times is DaouOffroad, I've watched all their series and honestly all of their series are in my favs list. Anyways as a buddhistic person this series is just amazing and I just love these type of series. Ofcourse, I'm writing this review after rewatching since that's how most of my reviews work.
Some series add way to many unnecessary scene's when it comes to these type of series. Luckily, they spread the scene's in the past extremely well and we didn't have recap of yearsss over multiple episodes. It was quick but the message came over. It reminds me of the Thai sentence: จับปลาสองมือ. This means trying to do two things at once, which usually fails. Like using past and present to much at the same time.
One thing I wish they had changed was the amount of random plots that feel like fillers. Vee stealing the stone was so stupid and I got second hand embarrassment of it. I get his grandma was about to die and everything but his first instinct was to steal the stone?? CMON VEE
San and Vee are such cuties omg. I love San slowly falling in love and Vee just being all over him. It was kinda hurting me how San slept with Vee but then kept being really harsh to him at first. But as soon as he fell in love swell they had the most healthiest relationship ever.

MY FAV BL
Some might call it cringy, but that makes it good. Okay so I found out about this bl because I was obsessed with the proposal song... I swear I listen to it daily. okay so first off, Kongdech was soooo funny, the way he kept chasing Henggg, I kinda felt bad for Heng because Kongdech kinda put him in a situation where he wasn't able to say no. Also even if I kinda hated Heng, I think it made it even funnier for me.Also congrats to both Earthmix to another amazing acted series, holy moly. Anyhow, I kept laughing, even at serious moments just because of how funny it was. My mom even checked up on me when I was wheezing like an idiot. ALSO THE MUSIC?! HELLO??? It's soooo good, I was also surprised to see Nanon In here. Guys the music is for real my favourite part of this series, it's also soooo underrated!!
I was also suprised to see Firstkhao in here and Drakkeee Sattabut omgg. I'm obsessed with this bl, it'll prolly stay stuck in my head for months now. DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE PROPOSAL SCENE?! If my future husband doesn't propose like that it's oveer!!!! (jk)

I was scared the series was gonna be to toxic but...
Alright, I watched the trailer and everything looked so cozy but when I started watching it I almost stopped. So when Jin Yu Zhen was introduced I thought; "he must be such a toxic red flag male lead", but I was wrong. Jin Yu Zhen is just a misunderstood (even in the series) person. His actions are not meant to hurt others, but they do. I love how, I, as a watcher, felt the same way Shi Lei and the other co-workers felt in the beginning. They did a good job with how watcher felt while watching, every single emotion, I felt them the same way Shi Lei did.The side characters story kinda sucked, but it also wasn't really the main focus ofcourse, though, I still find it funny that all of the side couples got together before the main did. I'm not disappointed with how long it took for them to start a relationship, since their relationship developed slowly but they did act romantic. It was a bit of a ragebate on when they started dating. I was almost screaming each time they layed together and still DIDNT admit their feelings,
Aside from this all loved it!!

I loved this silly bl :3
INCLUDES spoilers from second season!!I loved this show, it's good, funny and silly. I loved the story, although I do not like the ending. The story was clear, no unneeded amount of side couples and a main focus on Oat and Pop. There are 7 main characters but the story still stays clear. I do gotta say that I think the story is mostly about Oat and Pop and the other 'mains' are more like side characters. But it doesn't matter that much.
It was a fun show, with a lot of comedy but it's lacking 1 thing, actual romance. The story is endless drama and the main couple? After 28 (including the second season) they still have no relationship? LET MY BOYS BE HAPPY... still giving it a 10/10 because this was so enjoyable and funny! :P

I was confused when starting this.... ended up becoming one of my favourite
Alright, with the other star and sky, I was confused which one to begin with. But after this one I think I understand it better. This story is the story of the brother of Daonuea. And this story also plays a bit after: star and sky: star in my mind. For me personally I really liked this story more than the first one.This one is for me a bit more special, also because of one of the topics in this, countryside. I grew up on the countryside and due to that always really like these type of bl's. I do think the relationship is a little to slow in this one and especially for a series with only 8 episodes it could've been more. But it was small and sweet. I'm definitely going to rewatch this one since I really liked it :3

This is my favourite BL so far!
I started watching this because I really like goofy, funny, comedy type of BL's, and I'm from a small village, just like in the series. When watching it I became obsessed. I love the story, Yothin being ignorant and Jomkhwan being the opposite. Their relationship is adorable and I love the slow burn, they really did that well, you almost don't realise it until you look back some episodes.And I'm obsessed with the intro song! It's adorable, portraits how fun the show Is and I listen to it sooo often! Song: เชื่อหัวใจ by อรรณพ ทองบริสุทธิ์ .
Aside from that I really think it had rewatch value due to its funny and adorable moments. I know a lot of people don't like this series but this is definitely my comfort series, and I could watch it day and night. Actually fun fact, the actor for Jom is the producer for a lot of other series and (not sure) the CEO from the company. A lot of people showed concern at first due to him also being the producer behind this series but he followed the orders given to him just like other actors :3

Rewatched 5 times after it aired
Years ago, when this started airing I watched it while it was airing and at the time, bl's were still really upcoming. After it, this series has became a comfort series of mine. Even if many stuff is outdated like gay people not being able to get married or jokes and behaviour that are considered pretty cringe these days.One of my absolute favourite things about dmd is that music is peak, and we trust Nunew for sure. I love his voice and the OST might be one of my all time favourite songs. I can genuinely listen to ไอ้คนน่ารัก for 3 hours on repeat without getting bored of it.
It's zeenunew's first series and that makes it even cuter to my opinion. Nunew being a fan of Zee and ending up as one of the most successful pairs is insane in my opinion. I remember Zee being in Why are you paired with Saint. One of the things I do have to mention though is that I'm absolutely sick and tired of Dmd having Nunew play a role as someone who lived in the UK?? I'm rlly tired of this but Ig I have to blame newer series and not his first 'uk student' one (aka cutie pie).
When it was airing I couldn't stand Kuea at all, which I don't get at all?? Like I absolutely love Kuea nowadays. I was probably tired of his 'cute' behaviour but the whole point of the series is that he acts different than who he actually is. The tops acting mysterious and nonchalant around their fiancé's is the funniest thing ever. I love how they do a lot of their actions on purpose. Like Kilen teasing Kuea for nooo ass reason and Kuea taking it very personal.
A small detail I love is that Kuea calls Lian 'Hia', if you don't know why just search it up but it has to do with Thai/Chinese people. Can we talk about the friendship between Kuea and Thacha?? I feel like it used to be more common for Thai bl series to add 2 main best friends who had love interests who were also friends but maybe it's just me. Anyways, their friendship is adorable and I love how they know each others limits. Tbh reminds me of one of my best friends, just waiting for my future bf to arrive bro.
Kuea's friend group in general, talking about his fellow classmates, is like a safe space bro. No matter how many times I watched Cutie Pie, they stay soooo comforting. I also fell in love with TutorYim because of this series. At first you expect Nuer to have a crush on Kuea but whether or not he actually did, idk man. I love Nuer with Syn. Their characters are sooo cute together and one of the first pairs that I mainly loved. Sinsamoe being Buddhistic is hilarious and as a Buddhistic person it's not offensive at all. I think he's sooo cute.
You know the series is gonna be good when Perth Nakhun is a side character!! Loved gemini/jay for lowkey helping everyone from everyone's side. And I love how he was basically body guarding Kuea and sometimes Khondiao aswell. He was so funny but brought the characters, especially Kuea to realisations. Which I rllyyyy liked about Jay.
The more I watch this series how more I understand Kilen. Like he was not interested in Kuea or at least didn't show it at first BUT the more Kuea showed himself the more in love he became. I kinda hated episode 11 for having Kuea deny the proposal because even though I do get Kuea for refusing since he didn't trust Kilen I do also think he should've thought a bit more in dept about the situation if it's just me.
One of the Bl I genuinely suggest to beginners, 100% that I'll keep rewatching it every 2/3 years.

Before I write this review I wanna mention that I don't support Joss. This is a personal decision. I don't care if you do support him or not but I do wanna let you guys know I don't, although this does not change the way I see the series. Neo and Aj are in this series so that makes it way better and I also like Gawin. This review is made after watching it a second time btw!!What I like about Neo and Aj is that their characters are always these type's and I love it. Neo's characters is always chaotic and 'stupid' which I loveeeee about Neo and Aj (and his twin JJ aswell) are always these chaotic by standing characters who just want love and third wheel. I feel soooo bad for Tonkla and fucking Tong was NOT nice to him. Like yes he liked him but Tong was way too busy with his own stuff. I feel like Tonkla and Nankan would've been a couple if.. yk.
To be very honest I do not like miss Nuan atall. She was nice and her actions weren't that bad but like she still didn't treat Tong the same way as the others and it clearly affected Tong.
The fx effects were good but the 3d art was horrible, like the spider and the butterfly. Did gmmtv not have the budget? Was it done with a reason? STOP THE GUITAR SCENE'S IM SICK OF THEM!!!
Had to laugh because I recognise the house hahahah (from love in the air and some other series). Tong did not need to ignore Mark so much. It was quite confusing why he kept having feelings on and off. Like it genuinely irritated me. Never did I fully trust Thara, she was acting sooo Sus
Them adopting kids is so cute wish they had given us more content of it. Anyways 1
