@spittingfacts53 - Mature people? It's rated 13+, not sure I know anyone who is mature at 13 years old. So what if someone thinks the show is a bit boring. Tell me again how that affects you personally? I actually agree with that person on it being a bit boring in parts because there were scenes that could have been a bit shorter and some that were out and out super-cringe. I rated it an 8 for my own reasons, mostly for Perth's performance and the costumes. I am unsure where your 'It's for mature people" comment is coming from. That is an odd and out of context thing to say to someone you do not know.
The wardrobe department deserves a lot of kudos for their design choices for the characters. They did an outstanding job! If anyone gave an outstanding performance in this series it was Perth. He shined throughout this series. Overall I gave it an 8. I would have given it a higher rating if they had more flashbacks of them in college and if the father had not been forgiven so fast and finding the note from his mother in a box was too quick of a fix for the Sun/Solar story line.
I'm new to Thai dramas. How are DMD and GMMTV different?
Thank you for the correction. Either way, all the shows I mentioned were bad. Just because a company has lots of money to spend on a production does not mean the show is going to be good and that was my point. GMMTV puts out a lot of good shows and not just BL's. I see not just this person but others who say GMMTV is not as good as it once was. I think those people are wrong. I like the couples and I like the shows.
There is a niche and comfort in the gmmtv shows knowing that they will have predictable happy endings. Sure I like angst in my shows too and China is doing a great job with those shows as is Taiwan as well.
Hallmark channel has it's following of fans that like those wholesome love stories and GMMTV fans are no different. Some of us do not need heavy NC scenes all the time or drama. drama, drama in all our series. It is nice to just kick back and watch familiar faces (couples) do their thing and give us happy endings and GMMTV provides those warm, sappy, sentimental comfort shows that are fun to watch (and not to forget to mention with gorgeous men) after a super angsty series.

GMMTV is awesome and DMD is good too, but remember DMD also gave us Battle of the writers, Middleman's Love, Cutie Pie, Naughty Babe, Sutiny and The Next Prince which all sucked! I think you need to take off your rose colored glasses when it comes to Domundi/Mandee and remember that both companies have given us some very entertaining bl's and some we could not even finish.
This show was entertaining until Episode 9 where they have a father run away twice and then he says "I have been holding onto these things from your mom for you." Why run if you have something to give your son (if you ever see him again) and then oh boy, lets find a key to a toy box that you just happen to bring along in the car and find a letter that exonerates both father and son from guilt and happy memories are all restored and then Sun/Solar says " I know you did everything for me and mom." Seriously, your father (abandoned you in a hospital) did nothing for you for years and you hugged the cowardly jerk.
It is getting ridiculous how many parents get a pass on these shows no matter how horrible they are.
This episode was very anti-climatic and disappointing.
To everyone mentioning (or wanting to mention) the obvious topic in the drama about grooming, or other things…
This is a classic example of a passive-aggressive comment. You allude to "the obsessive angered kid " in the comments, but never mention a name. Very cowardly not to address the person directly. You also address your comment in regards to the "obvious topic" of grooming to everyone who agrees with you. You are trying to stir up a group of folks and out to hang someone because they disagree with you and even go so far as saying this angry kid is projecting some sort of rage bait, but isn't that what you are doing with this comment?
Passive-aggressive comments are indirect expressions of hostility, resentment, or anger designed to avoid direct confrontation while undermining others. Like I said, your post is a classic example of just that.
it definitely has too many loose ends but the hype is .. the bar is really low nowadays ig..they did this…
I hope you are right about season 2, but I am not holding my breath. Too many times I have heard rumors about second seasons of shows that have never come to fruition.

I just read this: As of May 1, 2026, Sammy's Children's Day concludes its 9-episode first season, with hints of a second season circulating rather than an official announcement. While fan buzz suggests potential future filming, official platforms like GagaOOlala have not confirmed a renewal.
Just a heads up before more of y’all say you were “disappointed” we are getting a season 2 and the cast…

Very disappointing and so hard to rate a series without a confirmed 2nd season based only on a first season that is incomplete. It could have ended better or at least make 12 episodes and tie up some endings. Bangkok Boy did a good job with their first season and I look forward to the second one, but at least in the first season major issues were tied up.
Google said this: Based on early 2026 content surrounding Only Friends: Dream On, Aou Thanaboon's nose piercing appears to be part of his character styling for that show rather than a permanent real-life piercing.
Sorry, I actually googled the nose ring and they say it is not real, only for the show to make Rome more edgy. Sorry for the deleted post, I only meant to edit it.
I am not going to lie, that ending left me feeling very ambivalent about this 9 episode series. There were just too many loose ends and without a confirmation of a season two, it is hard to rate this as a stand alone series. I gave it a 7 out of 10 but if there is no second season, then I will have to drop my rating to about a 3 out of 10 and that is only for the lead's chemistry and the kiss at the end.
Nice fairy tale, but a bit unrealistic. Rarely do most people reunite with their first love.
Believe it or not. I know quite a few people who have gotten together with their first loves and married each other after meeting again at their school class reunion. After doing a quick search it says: Research finds that 40-50 percent of people have reunited with an ex to start a new relationship. Fairy tales do happen. 🙂
I am about to start this series and came to read the comments/reviews first, so my expectations are not super high, but I look forward to seeing another series with Takeru Satoh in it as the main lead.
