Enemies to Lovers Done Right
So good to see these two after that horrendous FarmVan plot in "Head 2 Head". The "Muteluv" series is some of GMMTV's best work. I swear it's banger after banger. The plot was super fun! I love enemies to lovers especially when they do the development of the relationship right and they did it RIGHT. The acting and chemistry from Surf and Java was amazing. 10/10 like WOW. Short and sweet and I enjoyed watching every second. Can't wait to see these two again.Was this review helpful to you?

The Best of the Best
I knew Teetee and Por from "Your Sky" and they were cute but didn't stand out to me at all. The original pilot trailer seemed cute but basic. Seeing some of their interactions online before the show, they seemed extremely shy so I didn't trust their chemistry as a main couple either. I have never been more wrong in my life. These two genuinely have the best chemistry in any drama I have ever seen. Every interaction between them seemed so natural. I've honestly never seen anything like this before. This drama was so sweet and wholesome. I loved the development of the plot. I must be conditioned by so many bad Thai dramas that every time a new conflict was introduced, I braced myself for this amazing story to all come crumbling down but so much care was put into every aspect of this show that every conflict was handled with care and resolved in a realistic, satisfying way. For example,(slight spoilers ahead)
the conflict with Qin's parents was addressed but they didn't pretend that everything was perfect and solved by the end.. Qin himself said that it was only the start and they had a long way to go. It was so refreshing that everything didn't magically get fixed after one interaction.
Qin and Duang always communicated and had such a healthy relationship. This healthy habit followed through with their friendships as well. I LOVED their friend groups. Jamie and Pae were hilarious. My least favorite part of "Duang with You" was Jamie and Marvis' relationship unfortunately. They had a friends with benefits situation going on with nothing going on outside of that which would be fine if not for the fact that they were not physically close with each other AT ALL. Like their whole relationship is physical intimacy yet we never see any of it and that's the only thing we had to root for them on and there's nothing there. I think either they just shouldn't have had their relationship be purely sexual OR shown them be physically affectionate. It just didn't make sense to me.
The build up between Qin and Duang's relationship was done SO well. I the first half of the series, I screamed and cried when they just hugged. The second half of the series was disgustingly adorable at portraying their relationship. So extremely sweet and cute. Their chemistry on and off-screen is just as adorable. Too cute.
The OST's are amazing as well. The additional MV's are super cute and really added to the experience of watching the drama.
This show was just amazing in almost every category. Definitely my favorite BL after watching it.

A perfect GL
I went in with 0 expectations/knowledge and was absolutely blown away. THIS is how you do GL. The acting was phenomenal and the chemistry was on FIRE. The story had a great plot that made sense (can't say the same for many other GLs) and didn't drag out. I absolutely loved Rin! she was such a cutie. Jane's acting as Rin was so fun and refreshing.Was this review helpful to you?

The biggest surprise from PondPhuwin
Watching Pond and Phwuin is a rollercoaster ride. Their series' have been bad, good, and mid. I honestly don't know what I expected from this show but a hilarious comedy with amazing acting and chemistry was NOT it. This is one of GMMTV's best BLs. Pond absolutely delivered as his role as Khun Thee and Peach's character fit Phuwin very well. This show generated so many memes and viral clips, it was a joy to watch as it was airing. RomeMok was such a treat. They were the better of the two side couples. While I definitely warmed up to Santa and Perth in "Perfect 10 Liners" and was excited to see them again, Tawan and Aran were the biggest disappointment from this drama. They were so toxic and got ZERO development. My last note on this drama is that LookPlub was my favorite character and I loved every scene with Bonnie in it. Her character was such a cutie patootie and I loved her SO much. Overall, this was a very well made show and I loved almost everything.Was this review helpful to you?

Misunderstood but one of the BEST series' from GMMTV
I think a lot of people misunderstood this show. It wasn't really a romance or GL, although it has GL elements in it. The story was more about Na's character arc and her development.(spoilers past this point)
The fact that she didn't end up with Leemhai in the end wasn't unusual because we saw how much she changed and improved by the end, which was the point. This was Jan and Jingjing's first series together and I absolutely loved their chemistry. I've been begging for Jan in a GL for years and it turned out as amazing as I thought. The acting was really great and the chemistry was the BEST I've seen from GMMTV and GLs in general. Great show overall.
