Don't belittle this series. I read things like "there is no plot", "it's so bad that it's good", "the acting is stiff".
Nope.
There is good acting from Oat. The guy is incredible. He is without a doubt the star of the series. The plot is questionable and not new. Senior teaches junior about sex and stuff. Yeah. That's ... well, whatever. But the execution is fun. Jun isn't your typical shy and inexperienced junior, the guy is so funny, and he knows what he wants. There was never any pressure, so this is not even toxic like people make it out to be. The more you watch, the more obvious it is, that Jun has Sorn wrapped around his finger. Those two seem to match each other well, and from the end credits I feel like this is the beginning of a pretty healthy relationship. Sure, the whole jealousy thing and the fact that they aren't honest and don't communicate is not great. But this is an old-school-plot, the kind that apparently never dies out.
And then the NC scenes. How many actors can pull it off? This is an accomplishment by itself. They have great chemistry, and more than the actors, I praise the production company. That's how it's done! Some good music, slow motion, showing as much as possible, but not too much. Other companies should take some notes!
So yeah, I'm done now.
This is my new obsession. I can't remember when it was the last time I had so much fun. But if not for Oat (Jun) I would skip this series for sure. So people, if you think there is no good acting, watch him closely. He reminds me of War. Both remind me of War and Yin, with Yin playing the older one, while being younger. It's the same here.
I don't know if we will see those two ever again, but I'm a fan now.

There is indeed stellar acting to be found.
Oat is great. Where was this guy hiding? He makes this series 100% work, otherwise it would be cringy and stupid. The guy has millions of different face expressions, his acting is very natural, the chemistry with his co-star great.
He reminds me of War. Both are similar to War and Yin, with Yin being the younger one but playing the older character. Same here.
I'm glad they didn't cast a young 22 years old for the role of the "kid". It would feel awkward for sure, but Oat is the GOAT. I'm honestly in love with that dorky and sassy character.

Because of your comment (you wrote the same somewhere else) I watched My Stubborn today and had the time of my life!
Thank you!

That's the first raunchy comedy BL series that I like.
I just started it, but this is gold.

I loved Gawin with Krist. They had great chemistry. But he is not the best actor out there.

Whites age at 30, Asians at 40, and Blacks look still good at 50. Don't ask me why.

Can I be honest? This looks and feels like a low quality series. The flow just isn't right. The directing, the editing - I don't like it. The actors aren't anything special, but strangely enough, they have an alluring charm. I like Keen, sometimes I enjoy his acting a lot, sometimes I don't think it's very good. Same for Than. Overall, he plays the role well, but he isn't an outstanding actor. Both have good chemistry, though. The older actors are terrible, like always in BL series. I don't know where they find those people. The plot has potential though, but I have no idea where they are going with the couples. Maybe that's the reason why I'm still invested. The main couple fought so much this episode, I was thinking how they will fix this. The next moment they apologize, then there is tension again. It's not that I didn't see the romance between them, but I was constantly wandering, how they will fix this relationship and where this is going. Then they kissed, which I didn't expect so early. But I liked it, since we already could feel there is something between them, it just didn't seem like it would work out so easily. I'm not criticizing the writing here, I think those characters being so unpredictable is the reason, why I still enjoy it.
So well, lets see where this is going.
It feels different somehow, new and exciting.

For all those people who are gushing over this first episode saying this is good for Thai BL, the acting is great, this is on another level: watch Be My Favorite. It has the same vibe. Mostly because of Krist's acting, but also regarding the production quality. Singto is the better actor than Gawin, though, but the writing is most likely better in Be My Favorite. We will see.
But seriously, same vibe. Phi reminds me a lot of the not so great future version of Kawi. Aou is there too.

And TayNew next year with a new BL.
Can you believe it?
Miracles still happen.

lol, good one

Where is the "home of phobia"?

Sotus
One of the most successful BL series, back then they were pioneers in the genre

First time seeing Krist doing a kiss scene that looks natural

I'm in desperate need of a good BL.

The plot is unique, the main actors are good, the chemistry is chemistrying.
The production, overall writing and direction are terrible. Terrible.
In better hands, this plot could be fire. But nope. It's a cheap BL production with terrible older actors, cringy crying, ridiculous loan sharks and police men, ridiculous situations etc.
They aren't even trying.

There is nothing to explain. I find both actors neither charming nor attractive. Their acting, their body language, their voices, even their smiles are not to my liking.
I'm picky when it comes to storytelling, but I'm easily charmed by actors. Those two just aren't doing it for me.

I couldn't care less what people love or not love, but it has to be studied why so many are so charmed by those two. Worst couple I have ever seen, and I watch BL for 10 years.

I find both actors extremely cringy, it makes me uncomfortable watching them. How they deliver their lines, even their voices, I hate it. Especially the black haired guy's voice makes my fingernails curl. There must be some sorcery going on, that people are so into them.
Don't know about "big budget series" – it's not my business how well other series are doing or not.
No hate here, but I'm baffled how those two can be so popular. Good for them, though!

Were you drunk when watching it? It was the older sister. This is essential to the plot!!!!! What happened between the older sister and the SML is the reason for her suicide, which then again is the reason, why the FL joined the company and how she behaved towards the ML. You clearly skipped many parts, and didn't watch it properly. Then please don't comment on it, if you don't understand the story.

I was specifically talking about the fights Si Eun was in: 1) against his new friend, 2) against Seong Je, 3) against the "main villain" of s2.
Those three fought fair.
This is not a question who is the good guy, and who is the bad guy. Of course, Si Eun wouldn't seek violence by himself. But if you try to get into his head for a second, you must wonder where this will to kill is coming from. And there is a will to kill, even if it means to be killed himself.
If I remember correctly, the first brutal scene in s1 was when he put a curtain over the head of a classmate and hit his head with a book.
You think this is normal?
I was bullied at school too, but I never had such violent thoughts.
I find this disturbing, and I'm convinced most viewers don't grasp the deepness of this series, because they alienate themselves from it too much. It's just an entertaining story for them at the end of the day.
I wouldn't want to be friends with Si Eun, I can tell you that. He is a psychopath in my books.
