This show is an absolute gem. I didn’t expect to love it this much, but I was hooked from the first scene and adored every second. It’s surprisingly high-quality. Easily one of the best Thai BLs of the year, and definitely one of the most underrated.
The writing is tight, the cinematography is stunning, and the production is flawless. It steers clear of the usual school-BL clichés and gives us a heartfelt, well-crafted story. What starts as a nostalgic trip turns into a touching reflection on love, regret, friendship, and family.
But the real highlight? The cast. Flute and Marc have such sweet chemistry. They brought their characters to life with so much emotion and depth. Their connection felt so natural and genuine that the romance was completely believable. What truly mattered to Win was being able to express his real feelings for Nut, the boy he’s always loved.
Bom and Austin gave me full-on second couple syndrome. Their performances were convincing, and some of their scenes were just ridiculously sweet. They totally won me over. Chai and Ek deserve their own spin-off. They’re the most surprising characters in the series. Chai might look like a bad boy, but he’s a good son, loyal friend, and someone willing to grow into a better person for Ek. Ek, on the other hand, is quiet and introspective, but beneath his calm exterior is a strength and determination you wouldn’t expect. And just like Chai, he’s got his own “gang” too.
Then there’s Biu and Lin. GL couples are often underdeveloped, but not here. Opal and Mint did a fantastic job, and their chemistry really showed. Even after being rejected, Biu kept showing her love for Lin without pushing, just quietly accepting their friendship. And slowly, Lin started to understand what love really means.
The families: I loved how the show portrayed families from different social backgrounds. Withun is hands-down the best dad ever, it’s impossible not to fall for him. At first, I thought Ek’s parents were overprotective, but they actually embody the “sabai sabai” spirit of Thai culture. They’re loving, intuitive, and genuinely care about Ek’s well-being. Despite being wealthy, they’re kind and never looked down on Chai for his humble background. I really liked how Ek and his parents talked through everything.
Even though I usually have low tolerance for alcoholic characters, I appreciated the dynamic between Chai and his mom. I like that he recognizes the sacrifices she makes for him.
And finally, Nut’s family. If Withun is the best dad ever, Nut’s father might be the worst, right up there with Uea’s mom from Bed Friend. He’s cruel, controlling, and takes out all his frustration over not becoming a successful singer on Nut. He really got under my skin. But I loved how Nut stood up to him in the end, respectful, but firm.
The cherry on top? The actors are musicians too and that made all the difference. I absolutely recommend this series and will definitely rewatch it.
