After nine episodes, I finally get what makes this series so good and why it’s such a joy to watch. Boys in Love has incredibly well-written, fully fleshed-out characters. None of these boys feel like cardboard cutouts—they each have their own personalities, flaws, and strengths. You can’t help but love all of them, even if sometimes their behavior makes you cringe a little. And what’s really impressive is how consistently they’re written—props to the screenwriters for that. Tonight’s episode gave us bitchy Mon, poor Kim bouncing back and forth between his boyfriend and Mon's manipulative mom, besides that Kit finally starting to feel like what he does might actually make Shen proud. And don’t even get me started on the chaotic duo Per and Tar—every scene with them just makes me so damn happy.
Give me ten minutes, and I'll write you a script that's 100,000 times better than this one. Enough is enough. Don't waist your life on this piece of crap.
These boys are so cute that I could watch them for hours. The episodes are just too short, and it's all achieved solely through a simple but sincere script and the amazing chemistry of these young actors. This series doesn't feel like a typical GMMTV 'Y series'.
This episode broke my cuteness meter—especially the Kim/Mon couple! Pretty decent writing, good directing, and solid storytelling for a first episode. It really makes me want more of these boys.
Lol the most useless comment. You don't like the series, congratulations, next!
As for the presumably "useless" comment, we actually managed to spark an interesting discussion here. So let me add this: what really turns me off has nothing to do with the actors—it's all about how the scenes are written and directed. Seriously, do any of you stand face-to-face with someone at home and talk in perfectly complete sentences for ten straight minutes, each one getting a full, polished reply? Because in real life, conversations happen while we’re doing other stuff. People interrupt each other, get into little arguments, sometimes just go quiet and stare. That’s how humans actually talk. But in this show, people don’t act or speak like real people. Instead, we get these long, awkwardly staged conversations full of exposition. Rather than showing us how vampires live, the show just tells us—in dry, drawn-out dialogue. It’s just bad writing and weak direction, plain and simple. Those few scenes with Mond were the only ones where something actually happened in terms of storytelling and kept me intrigued and engaged, having Joss be well-built and strut around in just briefs doesn’t make it a good BL. I don’t expect GMMTV to deliver a masterpiece, but after all these years, they should at least be capable of making something more watchable.
Can we stop bothering about Mark's boring love life already and get more of Nakan? His two minutes with Tonkla were the highlight of the whole episode — the only moments I didn't actually doze off.

Acting: 10%
Chemistry: 0%
Creepiness: 1000%
I wish the following episodes don't have Sorn character, he really needs to be written out.
