I was so bummed it ended, I hope we get a season 2!

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I started re-watching it after I commented LOL

* sighs * I don't think I've ever had so much fun in a comment section on here watching a series. It was the best. Not only was I anticipating each episode airing but knowing I would get to come back and rant/speculate/hypothesize/cry/yell/allthethings!!! with everyone after it was over added a whole other amazing layer of awesome. I also don't think a comment section here has remained as fun and wholesome throughout a series watch ever haha

I'm assuming it has something to do with copyright and what they agreed on who could contractually host the series. If you do a Google search for it it's on a lot of third-party sites though.

It has a happy ending, if kind of ambiguous (i.e. makes you think). I would wholeheartedly recommend this series if you're thinking of giving it a chance, it's one of the best I've seen both in and out of BL.

This has been surprisingly hilarious, I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would. Two words: penis fish lmao who knew? I literally had to look up if it was legit and read the whole entry on Gastro Obscura (one of my favorite websites when I visit other countries btw). The Hangover and EuroTrip are some of my all-time favorite unhinged comedies and this is honestly kind of giving that Thai BL style 😂 I feel like the first episode to set things up dragged, but the second definitely made up for it, so I'm hoping the rest of the series is just as funny.

Just binged this and wow, Joong and Dunk have Chemistry with a capital C. I genuinely really enjoyed this series. I think the rating is a little overdramatic tbh. It was a feel-good, primarily uncomplicated and fairly well-written series. Like a lot of projects that come from GMM it was "Disney" grade lol nothing revolutionary but nothing offensive, and certainly not god-awful like some series I've watched, even just this year. I personally like to have a good mix in what I watch when it comes to BL so I'm not one to go above and beyond to hate and criticize the lighter fair. I think there's room for all different kinds of stories to be told, and if I'm honest, even the more provocative series can get a little one-note after awhile. Suffice to say, a good romcom was a great way to lighten things up from some of the more intense narratives we have been getting lately. I was genuinely kind of shocked at how much both Joong and Dunk have grown in this series. Truly, I watched their first series together and they've made some big strides. Are they at the level of some of the stand-out or veteran actors in the industry? No, but for fairly rookie actors I felt like they carried their characters quite well. I won't completely spoil it but there is an episode with a...ahem...loss of innocence for Dunk's character and I thought he acted the hell out of that scene, I felt every hesitation and emotional pull. This was definitely a more mature project than anything I've seen from either of them in the past and it kind of made me excited to see what might come from them in the future, especially if they're acting together again. Chemistry between onscreen partners is a tricky balance in my opinion and they have it in spades, I think with a few more projects under their belt there's potential for something really great to come from them. Anyway, overall was it a stellar grammy worthy production? Obviously not, but I didn't go into it expecting much more than fluff and good feels and to be fair I got way more out of it than that haha. I can see it's apparently polarizing (I mean rating this a 1 with some of the absolute garbage we get is overkill let's be real lol) but for what its worth I'd recommend it if you're looking for something light and feel good.

This is honestly an awesome show, the concept is great. As usual, Joong and Dunk are absolute chaos together, they're such an entertaining and hilarious duo. The places they visit are not only fun but creative and innovative with their marketing and concepts. I wish the restaurants and bars where I live were half as concept-forward. I haven't seen an episode yet where I haven't wanted to immediately go eat or drink at the place they visited. One of my favorites was Revolution Cocktail in episode two; between the taco platter, crazy drinks, hidden VIP room, and fire show, I wanted to book my birthday there ASAP lol. I hope they get another season, I love seeing what new place they'll visit each time, plus watching these two after they've had a few drinks is priceless (especially since it doesn't take much for Dunk to start feeling it 😆). As an aside, this latest episode (ep. 5) is wild, I'm pretty sure the chef was enamored with Dunk 🤣.

I actually thought he got much closer with a lot of the new gen members through the concert, Dunk and him were and have been super playful and close, Pond too. Then again Dunk and Pond are super affectionate and lovey so it's not hard to make friends with them hah. Watching them together it felt to me like he's been adopted into their little crew.

Methinks this project ran out of budget. Otherwise, I need someone to explain to me in simple terms what the hell happened in the last episode because nothing made sense. I mean already the series was pretty bad, but that last episode was definitely...something lol.

The writing for their projects is pretty dismal in my opinion, their production value is high but the story lines are nothing but fluff, sex and some contrived drama thrown in for effect. Bed Friends was probably their first solid release writing-wise but it still wasn't great. I'm not saying their projects aren't entertaining or that, if given better scripts, they don't have talented actors who could pull them off, but I personally wouldn't say their plots are their forte.

There have actually been rumors that New and Double have been cast in a series together as leads, which I'd take over anything connected to this tbh in terms of writing and production lol

I don't think it's you, I think the eye candy over substance model just works well in the BL industry as unfortunate as that is. If standards were higher we would all benefit.

EDIT: to add that I'm not saying DMD don't have some talent, but they definitely don't know how or don't care to maximize their potential which is a shame.

Yim has consistently pulled the short stick and it's sad. To think I was really anticipating Tutor and Yim's first series as leads. But I knew what was coming as soon as the project was announced and I saw the synopsis.

If I'm honest I feel it's very unfortunate that this is the script Tutor and Yim got for their first series as leads. They deserved better. I especially feel for Yim, like damn, what the hell was that? Then again outside of maybe (and this is a stretch) Bed Friend, the writing for projects coming from DMD...isn't great. I know they produce their content but do they also write it and not hire professional writers?? I don't know what the situation is with that, but they're doing a potentially talented roster a huge disservice by making them more eye-candy with a bit of slap-stick comedian thrown in over giving them something serious they can sink their teeth into as actors. I genuinely feel like they could do better. I mean I suppose on a scale of stellar to crap this is pretty middling but that isn't saying much.

While the series was pretty mid, I enjoyed Guide and Poom in this a lot, I hope they get more opportunities to stretch their acting potential as leads.

Just watched the teaser and such a surge of nostalgia came over me it made me kind of emo. I'm genuinely looking forward to watching this, and it's making me want to re-watch Love Sick season 1 all over again (for like the third time lol). I think people really place the OG Love Sick into the context of BL today and forget that it was one of the pioneer BL series of its time and was one of the cornerstone series that launched what Thai BL has grown into today. It was HUGE in its day and unexpectedly so. The original production had to fight hard for the little funding it did have only for it to become a massive hit. It also brought a giant wave of international interest and was many people's (myself included) first entry into Thai BL. Love By Chance (and SOTUS in some respects) gets a similar treatment with people watching it years later and not really understanding how foundational it was for the continued production and growth of the genre. Anyway lol all this is to say that I can imagine there was huge pressure on this production and I hope it's done well and is much better than the OG. That's like bare minimum haha. For all its low-budget production the OG did have something quite special in season 1, I only wish they hadn't completely ruined it in season 2, but we all know a lot of it was due to the backlash that came from the way the original director chose to depict Noh and Pun's relationship, which should tell you how much they were pushing the envelope even then when it's practically tepid water in comparison to what comes out in BL these days. The difference between season 1 and season 2 even in just sentimentality, let alone romantic development between Noh and Pun is drastic.

While I did enjoy watching season 1 this season was so much better, and not only because we got such a lovely couple out of it either. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat watching on cheering for J and S, I think we were all just waiting for S to realize the right man was waiting patiently by his side the whole time. I feel like I laughed and cried with them the whole series, they were a joy to watch and I wish them full happiness. Watching what they share of their lives together now I am hopeful they're in it for the long run.

If I'm honest the best thing about this series was the last episode, I wish the series had focused less on contrived drama and more on actually fleshing out their relationship and feelings for each other.

If you're curious about the "epic love story" between Fifth and Zeke that is falsely advertised for this series, I'd watch My Story and pretend they didn't release anything after that. If I'm honest all of three of the series aren't great, they have horrible writing, plot lines, and direction but the Fifth Zeke story (and actors) hard carried last season.
