I would've rated this series a 10 because I loved the story and the two main actors (even though, it felt a bit dragged around the end) but I've rated it a 9 just because I can't believe they ended the series like... THIS!!! Everyone is talking about a season 2 but has it really been confirmed or is it just a fantasy made by the fans as it is often the case?...
I don't dislike the series but there are so many nonsense things in this series that it is quite hard to watch sometimes... Just in this last episode, I've noticed several things that don't make any sense.
First, why didn't the dad arrest Yada when she was clearly responsible for Min's state and she was openly threatening Q? He even said that they were searching her restaurant so he could have arrested her and wait for the criminal evidence to lock her up for good... But no, he let her leave...
Then, can people eavesdropping conversations stay and listen to the whole thing before leaving just after people are offered money. It happens all the time and that annoys me so much. Q could've stayed just a few more minutes and heard Min refuse the money instead of playing the sad little boy.
To finish, the mum is an idiot... She manages to free herself from the rope and free her son but she doesn't follow her son and stays just to be killed. That's sooo freaking stupid... As stupid as going back to the place you've been kidnapped just to see your mum's dead body.
Anyway, I feel that this series is dragging so much because they don't know how to create suspense. As for proof, Min and Q are still living in the house that the gangsters know about. That's ridiculous...
Maybe check-out user "BL Compilations" review, they provide watch suggestions which may cut-out some of the story…
Thank God, people with common sense still exist! It's a shame that I can't find your comment in this wave of positive ones because I would have given you my support. I've even been accused of looking for "sexy time" 🤣 What a joke! I really can't take those people seriously...
This is more of coming of age story, if you are looking for sexy time This is not that show. It is a sweet story…
I think you misunderstand my comment... I'm not looking for sexy scenes, I'm looking for non-creepy stories. Taishin is a stalker and there is nothing cute about him following a guy he only met once to a city he doesn't know. Replace Taishin by the stalker uncle from the series and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't feel the same about this story.
Please watch until end before you judge .....there were more story why that story happen..
I've watched the whole thing and it doesn't change the fact that Taishin is a stalker. Nothing justifies that he moves to Tokyo just to thank a guy he met only once.

Thank you for the suggestion but too late, I've watched the whole thing... To me, the beginning was unbearable to watch (the guy was too creepy to my liking). Then, it was okay, sometimes cute, but I couldn't see past Taishin's stalking trait. It's a 4 for me. I may be harsh but romantising stalking is a big no, in my opinion.
I am almost at the end and it's kind of like My Beautiful Man - we get the other guys perspective a bit and he…
Exactly! I mean, it's true that in My Beautiful Man, the guy is quite stalkerish but, at least, he doesn't cross half of the country to meet a guy he only saw once just to say thank you... I've finished the drama and, even though, some scenes are quite cute, I couldn't get over the fact that the guy is a stalker. He's actually the same as the older guy that stalks him - sorry not sorry. If Taishin's character was an ugly old guy, people would've criticised the stalking parts saying that he's a creep. I hate double standards...
So... I'm only on episode 2 and I read some of the comments here but... I'm wondering what is so good about this series that everyone seems to like it. Because for now, I only see a creepy young guy that is WAY too innocent to my liking and that is stalking another guy just because he consoled him once. I mean, you don't enroll to a university that is about 5-hour far from your hometown by train just to meet a guy you only met once! That's crazy! I thought we were past those type of creepy characters in a TV show...
So... First of all, the duration on this page is wrong: it's not 21 min but more 33 min (huge difference). Second of all, I didn't like this series. I know this is very short but it's not a reason for the characters to fall in love almost instantly. There was absolutely no build up in their relationship so I couldn't believe they liked each other. Also, the supposed twist is very predictable. I could tell who was Kyo since the first episode and... that makes things really really weird! And the fact that Kyo is always there at unexpected moments was more weird than romantic, imo. Also, the kisses were so cringe... I don't recommend this series.
Very good first episode. I'm already hooked. Love nerdy Tay that is scared of ghosts, obnoxious New that mixes Thai with English, crazy Jan that really cares for her brother and serious Mook that is always rolling her eyes at her boss' remarks.
Unlike some people, I really like that we don't focus only on Jane and Ryan's story. I think it is good to see the story of the other characters too - who are not supporting roles to me, but main leads as well. However, I can't support Bahmee and Judy's love story. As cute as both the actresses are, after how things went down with Bahmee's cheating, I really can't support her... But I'm glad that, for once, Off is playing a "real" gay character. Because all of his other characters that he played in a BL with Gun, he was always "straight" before turning "gay" (or bi, if you prefer).
Well, it was watchable so I don't think I'm too far off. I consider it a bit like Cooking Crush that I also rated…
I understand your point of view but I think we just have different takes on shows... Because - I'm sorry, don't take it the wrong way but - how could you give My Only Boo an 8! See, in my opinion, it is this type of series that deserve below average (I rated it a 3). Again, rating a show is very subjective so I understand that you think I was too nice with this show as I complained a lot about it but, to me, it didn't deserve below average.
For not wasting time your rating is much too high... 6.0 means above average, which this show is not, it is far…
Well, it was watchable so I don't think I'm too far off. I consider it a bit like Cooking Crush that I also rated 6. Not exceptionnally good, but not awfully bad either. I always had difficulty to rate a show as it is very subjective but, to me, 6 out of 10 is not that good.
They didn't even release that scene where Kongthap cried talking to his mom, which completely made Gemini invisible…
I was just about to comment on that. I was shocked to see that they let Atom come out to Kongthap's mum when it's not his job to do so... Incredibly stupid...
As a whole, it was a pretty good drama. But as some people pointed out, it also has many flaws. Most of them related to the characters. One of the main characters is dangerously jealous (and most of the time for no apparent reasons). The other is, in the first half of the series, gullible but fun and cute and, in the second half, depressed and sick for the most part (the poison storyline was sooo freaking long!...). Also, I may be a bit masochist but I would have loved to see some characters die (for example, Su Yin who completely lost my sympathy when he lied to Huai'En and Xiao Bao in the last episode - and the worst thing is that Xiao Bao still liked him even though he knew he was lying to him... - and the Crown Prince who I called a "tête à claques" - which in French would be translated as someone that has a face you want to slap. That guy was so dislikable and he was obviously the only one Thai in the cast which was so weird because he's supposed to be the Crown Prince...). Anyway, I still liked the drama despite half of it being a bit boring, in my opinion.
in the manga they really never confess to the parents. the parents just know and they are OK with it. also in…
I think we can stop talking about the manga because it never really was faithful to it in the first place... Also, I don't mind that the mothers know without their sons coming out. My problem was just that this scene felt like Atom's mother cornered Kongthap and I didn't like it.
So... If it wasn't clear enough that the director wanted to insert as many My School President's references as he could, we now have a cameo of the one and only Chinzilla (without Gun for obvious reasons...). Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate seeing all the boys reunited but I didn't like it either. It was weird, especially without Fourth's playing Gun. It was out of place. Also, I might be the only one but I hated the scene with the mum. She deliberately lied to Atom in order to corner Kongthap and say what? That Atom has some childhood trauma and that he should be prepared? That was not right! Especially because Atom hasn't yet confessed to her that he was dating Kongthap, so I felt that she wanted to force the poor guy to confess instead. I felt really uncomfortable for Kongthap and that wasn't cute at all. Thank god the series is ending next week because that was a hell of a mess.
