It’s a cute slow burn with touches of humor and romance. The highlight of the series is definitely the cast, especially the chemistry between Ki Hoon and Ji Yu. The story is simple and easy to follow, and I really enjoyed the subtle glances, the smiles, and the sincere, genuine way the actors brought their characters to life.

What did bother me, though, was how the show handled alcohol. Ji Yu is drunk in most scenes. Having a drink with a meal? Totally fine. But drinking at every meal? To the point of being wasted? Showing up to work hungover and reeking of booze?

I actually liked Ki Hoon’s initial stance of banning alcohol in his restaurant, even if it didn’t sit well with some customers. But then he suddenly gives in to pressure and changes his mind. I wish he had stuck to his original decision.

I usually steer clear of writing negative reviews because I know how much heart and hard work go into making a series. This one had real potential, but sadly, it didn’t quite deliver.

After two episodes, I had to put it on hold because the subtitles were a total mess. But since I never leave a show unfinished, I eventually came back to wrap it up. Honestly, if the series had kept its six episodes but trimmed them down to 20–25 minutes each, it might’ve worked better. It had all the ingredients to be super cute.

1. Production
The script was weak and dragged through each 45-minute episode. On top of that, editing and sound issues really hurt the overall experience.

2. Acting
It’s tough to judge the performances fairly because the writing didn’t give the actors much to work with. There were flashes of personality here and there, but the script didn’t allow for any real depth. It seems like this was the debut for several of the cast members, and they honestly deserved better material. Still, they gave it their best, and the acting had its ups and downs.

Meen & Tul: A sweet couple who got more interesting once they started dating. Looks like this was the first series for Sky and Kong. The chemistry is definitely there. They had moments where they were just going through the motions, and others where they truly brought their characters to life. They’re raw talent, rough around the edges, but promising. I’ll definitely check out more of their work, hopefully with a stronger script.

Pokpong & Sun: This couple won me over from the start. I wish they’d had more screen time. Park and Tiger felt more natural together, and their chemistry came through effortlessly. They genuinely seemed comfortable in their roles.

A follow-up to Gen Y, this series centers largely on the love triangle between Wayu, Thanu, and Pha. It had the potential to craft an engaging story about Wayu’s moral dilemma in choosing between Pha and Thanu, but instead, the plot drags on with a weak storytelling.

The Wayu/Thanu/Pha love triangle remains unbearable, with a drama that drags on endlessly. If Wayu and Thanu were simply dull, chemistry-free characters in the first season, they’ve become utterly unbearable in the second—completely devoid of empathy.

Mark and Kit: The second season really should have focused on the evolution of their romance, especially since Mark has always loved Kit more deeply than Kit loved Mark. This season highlights Kit opening up and becoming more affectionate toward Mark, while Mark struggles with insecurity due to Kit's decision to apply for a scholarship abroad. They completely steal the show whenever they appear.

Jack and Koh: They remain the comedic duo that adds a playful and lighthearted touch to the series. Their story deserved more attention in the second season, and after Mark and Kit, they’ve officially become my favorite couple!

It’s clear the actors deserved a better script and did the best they could with what they were given, but this time, not even Mark and Kit or Jack and Koh could save the series.

It wasn’t a bad series, but it could have been better. The story had an interesting premise, but for something marketed as a romance, it was missing the most crucial element: romance. The two lead actors did a great job individually, but there was something missing that made it hard to believe they were actually in love. Everything felt too restrained, too emotionless. There was only one scene that gave me a bit of hope, but it was fleeting. That said, I still enjoyed watching it. I really liked the parallel between the characters in the book Woo Jae was writing and his own story. It felt like a story within a story. I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like that before. It was interesting.

“Throw kindness around like confetti” is the most meaningful point from the movie. That said, I was drawn to the quirky and intriguing story, but with better development, it could’ve had so much more potential. The plot is pretty much non-existent, and the characters are introduced without any real depth or backstory. The romance feels dull and pointless, yet somehow the characters fall in love anyway. That said, surprisingly, the intimate scene is full of passion and sensuality. As for a horror movie, it’s shockingly boring. Using dim lighting to create a creepy atmosphere totally backfired, it just made the movie even more tedious. The performances are hard to judge, since the script was so weak. Honestly, the actors did the best they could with what they had.

Honestly, I found it hard to assess this series. Mark and Kit are such charming protagonists. They won me over right from the start with their vibrant and magnetic relationship. Their interactions were a lot of fun. I love the way they flirt and tease each other. Actor Kimmon Warodom brings to life a playful, captivating, and mischievous character. He shares electric chemistry with Copter Panuwat, whose character tries to resist Mark’s heartfelt displays of affection. Mark and Kit truly carry the series, and they’re by far my favorite couple.

Even though they’re not a couple, my second “favorite pair” has to be Jack and Koh. They’re the comedic relief that added a lighthearted touch to the series. Jack and Koh start out as rivals competing for Wayu’s affection. They’re constantly fighting, arguing, and sabotaging each other. They ended up developing a strange bond that could blossom into a romance, or at least, that’s what I was hoping for. Despite being secondary characters, they have the same charismatic vibe as Mark and Kit.

Pok and Tong, on the other hand, are like a train wreck you just can’t stop watching. Their storyline is chaotic and all over the place, yet somehow it’s still more captivating than all the Wayu/Thanu/Pha/Phai arc.

Pha was a character who showed up often, but I know next to nothing about him aside from the fact that he abandoned Wayu and asked Thanu to look after him.

Thanu and Phai’s love story seemed intriguing at first, despite all the randomness of the psychic visions of their future together. Even so, I wish this romance had been developed further.

Wayu and Thanu just didn’t manage to win me over. Their characters come across as dull and lifeless. I didn’t feel any spark during their scenes together.

I do recognize that the actors did a great job with what they were given, but honestly, the entire Wayu/Thanu/Pha/Phai arc had the potential to deliver a far more compelling story.

Despite all its flaws, I’d still give it a 9, thanks to Mark and Kit as well as Jack and Koh. They bring so much life to the show with their cheeky flirting and fun interactions.

It's a pretty confusing movie that could've delivered a more engaging story. At first glance, it seems like there are three separate storylines, but a twist at the end ties almost everything together and explains the movie's title. I enjoyed the first and third stories the most. The second one is just way too bizarre. The acting is a bit inconsistent, but considering the material they had, the cast did a decent job, and you can see the performances improve as the film progresses. Keep in mind, this is an older movie (12 years old) and was likely made on a tight budget. Still, it was interesting to observe the evolution of the Thai BL production timeline. Intentional pun!

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this film to be so intense in just 30-something minutes. This is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking movie that touches on heavy themes and reflects a harsh truth about human behavior. It's shocking how cruel people can be, simply for the sake of being cruel. Seeing such cruelty on screen is jarring, but sadly, it reflects the reality faced by so many people around the world who are bullied for being poor, black, overweight, gay, or even just for their nationality. I broke down during the scene where Li Yang is on the bleachers. The mother was absolutely incredible. It’s not a perfect film, but it resonated deeply with me. The ending really got to me. And that post-credit scene was truly heartbreaking, serving as a powerful reminder of how much we still need to grow as human beings.

Overall, I really liked the series. It's not a perfect drama, but it's definitely worth watching. It's a mix of romance and mystery that keeps you hooked, even though I suspected who the villain was from the start because of the subtle clues scattered throughout. The standout character? Without a doubt, Wen Peng. Actor Wang Tian Chen nailed his performance, especially in the final episodes.

The weak point of the series was the character Lu Yan. Sun Qian is a talented actress, but her role was overshadowed by Kira Shi and Jackie Li's performances as Yu Zheng and Tang Jie. Lu Yan felt lifeless, even in moments where she tried to show some emotion. Maybe that's why the romance between Jiang Cheng Yi and Lu Yan came off as lukewarm. I personally preferred the relationships between Yu Zheng and Yu Bo Feng, as well as Da Zhong and Tang Jie. Yu Zheng and Yu Bo Feng, in my opinion, should've been the main couple. The chemistry between those two actors was outstanding, and their story was far more compelling.

As for Da Zhong and Tang Jie, they were the sweetest couple. I loved their dynamic, the respect and affection between them. And the OST? Absolutely beautiful!
