OP you should bring this energy to reddit where we have the most outrageous discussions about BLs. I NEED to see your takes on every single show, not dig through the millions of comments for your gems on MDL.

It's out on Spotify now :)

the opening theme song is gorgeous, can't find on Spotify yet.

I like that this series isn't cookie cutter and it had a totally unique plot of boys with a language barrier and clear chemistry figuring it out without frustration. they're both very kind and patient.

usually Victor would be the 2ML but its actually Nan Krai who didnt pull the trigger fast enough. so far im really liking it.

Not only after Top Form but their 2024 shows were so underrated and SO GOOD. WeTV is stepping the hell up lately!!

ya everyone complaining they want more couple time not just a story about getting together.. here we have a couple that's already been together for some time... and 7.6??? this is exactly what people want!

Thanks, I had actually figured it out by going down the Stay With Me/Addicted research rabbit hole haha. I don't plan on watching that.

what's the title of the Thai version?

geez, the other commenter is, uh, really passionate about this show.

I agree with everything you wrote, and I rated 7/10 for virtually the same reasons. it was cute and decent, but nothing mind blowing. I liked the chemistry and all of the actors did a good job (~5 men).

I also felt like the relationship just kinda... manifested out of thin air but it was comfortable right off the hop, no weirdness really. I loved that Natsume had a personality and didnt just live for Sahashi, which is uncommon in a lot of JBLs.

thanks for your honest review!

im watching this right now and the subs are horrendous. there's one scene in episode 6 I believe where Songkhran is talking to Ai's mom when Ai is sick and the word "roar" appears mid-sentence.. like what. that's just recent bad sub. the whole thing is awful.

Just wait till you watch Choco Milkshake

Viki version is uncut I believe.

This shouldn't be classified as BL, but an LGBTQA+ story. It's the portrayal of a gay relationship.

The only other thing that slightly bothered me was that when they came out to their parents they never told anyone they'd been together for 10 years already. That takes it from "its just a phase" into new territory. Although all the parents accepted it right away, it feel like that's an important piece that was never touched on. Didn't take anything away from the story it just bugged me.

that was the only reason I didn't rate it 10/10. I gave it 9.5 because Yuki forgave Akira too easily. it had been FOUR YEARS. Still cried at the end tho.

I have absolutely no clue what the plot is, or what happened at all other than the NC. Since 70% of this show is just sex, we see quite a lot of it. It actually felt pretty realistic. Little bit awkward and messy, positions not totally comfortable, switching/verse, men with average bodies with marks, and leg hair etc. Most couples have a lot of sex when they first get together, so all in all, yes it was essentially porn, but felt very much like how it would play out in real life. I gave it 7 out of 10 because of this. could have given more if I knew at all what the plot was or what they were saying.

It took me one day to watch Between Us (I loved it) and months to finish UWMA. it's painfully slow. The last two episodes make it worth the watch, but getting there takes a lot of patience. Even though I understand how important the subject matter is, I had to treat this show as casual viewing. I stopped probably half the episodes midway through and came back to it after weeks at a time.

There are two couples: Dean & Pharm and Korn & Intouch. We only get to see tiny, almost insignificant snippets of Win & Team. Thank goodness they got their own stellar show.

The scene allocation is about 80% DeanPharm, 19% KornIntouch, 1% WinTeam.

I heard the NC scene will be extended in the box set. I won't be buying that, but hopefully it gets posted somewhere eventually.

the regular show is 10 eps the special is separate/continuation. memindY has the list of legal streaming on their IG page

their kiss was so gooooooooooood FINALLY
