I had to look very carefully at Earth and Mix to fully recognise them as somehow they look younger. Is it the hairstyles? And why is Earth's voice higher than usual? Whatever, the show is particularly silly with the humour slapping you in the face. I don't mind it though. The essence of the Japanese orginal - a man suddenly finding himself the object of desire from multiple people - is retained, so the adapatation is true to the original in that sense, but that's about it. The Thai's are very free when it comes to adapting stories from elsewhere and they have every right to do that.

It's from Ep. 10 to the end that makes this show such a standout with a pivotal case that brings it all together. I watched them in quick succession having reached that far a while back and suddenly wondered what happened to the last two episodes I found elsewhere as the site I normally use still hasn't uploaded them. The unlikely pairing of a conservative, methodical and ruthless lawyer with a cute con artist who together manages to win case after case in court while falling deeply in love with each other is unique in the annals of BL and as it draws to a close the drama becomes riveting, leading to the happiest and most satisfying of endings. Even the plants felt it.

The term 'slow burn' seems to define the developing romance between Yotha and Gun. Yotha speaks to him in slow, measured, subdued tones and Gun just wants to make Yotha happy and smile more. Neither boy fully realises what is happening to them, yet their feelings, combined with their interactions, will soon drive them to the fore.

What with the English subtitles whizzing by, superimposed most of the time on foreign subtitles, and the disjointed scenes preventing a smooth flow of the plot which made it difficult to follow, this could have been so much better if a more traditional approach to film making had been incorporated. The recent trend of making series in micro episodes lasting a few minutes, mostly in a vertical format, is to be regretted. It may save money for the producers but it is the viewers who suffer, having to sit through these concoctions while enduring their shortcomings.

Luo Bushi is as sexy and hot as one could desire. Ever 4 didn't have a chance. He activated his hormonal instincts and it was on for young and old. When he woke up and realised what he'd done, Luo Bushi became embarrassed and ran off, which is not at all surprising. But how wonderful is it to have a personal robot who can be so accommodating? I'll have one, please.

Aside from the problem with the subtitles, I found this film to be on the boring side even with the prolonged kissing and sex scenes which looked and sounded remarkably realistic. The dialogue between the various characters added little to the storyline and was prosaic.

Everything's been said concerning Po and Thame which I fully agree with. They make a gorgeous couple and William as Thame surely has a great career ahead of him, combining talent, looks and a lovely singing voice. I just want to say something about the rap contest in which Thame was about to come out second best until Dylan unexpectedly took over and slaughtered his arrogant opponent, deservedly so.

Yes, the subtitles were pretty dreadful on YouTube. I don't know yet if successive episodes will be shown there but that combined with having to endure ads every few minutes is going to force to me find a different platform to watch this series.

The brothers looked stunning in their tuxedos. And their English, particularly Meunfah. Wow! Why Meunfah and Teerak are still unsure of their love for each other at this point mystifies me, particularly after the lovely kissing scene.

I think MDL got it wrong. It's not from Taiwan. The first frame on Ep. 1 has the graphic for China Bright Culture Group.

This is far more lively and dramatic than AntiReset which I enjoyed and has a totally different vibe that adds to its entertainment value. It's good that we were offered three episodes to begin with as it allows one to get more into it and follow the character development. From spoilt out-of-control rich spoilt brat to a more self-controlled young man adjusting to having a humanoid bodyguard who pampers him while analysing him and his relationship with him, the physical aspects are becoming more pronounced. I like where this is heading for Bu Shi and his close friend.

You're not paying attention. The third episode is out on YouTube ahead of schedule.

The one thing Dr Kan didn't tell Tew when he was relating the final moments of his mother was she told him to take good care of Tew. I wonder if that would have made any difference to the outcome. Maybe not, as Tew is such a stickler for the law, despite the doctor's impassioned defence of euthanasia. So there he is, sitting next to Tew in his car with his wrists handcuffed. As there is a second book, there's a good chance we might get a second series or at least a movie-length special episode. Let's hope so.

Yes, it was cute, but there were far too many flashbacks which spoilt the flow.

This is the perfect romance for the holidays now upon us. Beautifully shot at a beachside hotel, the two characters as they got to know each seemed destined to become lovers but of course, they had to overcome various obstacles and situations before that could be achieved. It was done gently and without any unnecessary melodrama as we became increasingly invested in them. I enjoyed this. It was a pleasure to watch these two cute and intelligent guys navigate their way to personal happiness and for that it receives a warm recommendation.

The boys are fairly cute but it doesn't add up to much and they don't even kiss.

The final episode was curiously low-key and tepid except for Jeed being put in her place and rebuffed by Noh and Yuri and the last few minutes while it managed to disappoint me in regard to the lack of kissing, nor has it got anything to do with their age. Going back to 2018 and the series 'Cause You're My Boy featuring Tee and Mork as the two schoolboy friends who become boyfriends where the kissing is frequent and passionate. Who can forget the scene in the ice rink when they snuggled under the cover of a small tent for a pash, thinking they were obscured from view, only to find out a security camera caught it leading them to be suspended? Apart from the accidental kiss between Noh and Earn, that was it; all the rest were cheek and forehead kisses. The final scene where Phun and Noh kiss after not kissing when they could have, with a glass door between them, is just a copout.

Otherwise, it was most enjoyable and the acting of all the kids was excellent. I was disappointed that Earn didn't find himself a boyfriend (whatever happened to Pete?) but at least he was compensated by being made president. The trajectory of Per and Win was the most dramatic and the steadfastness they displayed in the face of the objection of Win's father and how he stood up to him was admirable, but even so, he caved in, allowing them to spend time together in the camp, after which they vowed to be together once they finished all their studies. The other relationships didn't make much impression on me.

The last episode was so intense, especially the scene after Fuma rescued Kai, it brought tears to my eyes. Overall, I thought this adaptation, short as it was, did justice to the story as we know it. I wouldn't change anything.

All these relationships. It's becoming too complicated.

So many lovely and delightful moments in Ep. 7. I didn't realise what Junior put under Sun's nose to inhale until I read that it was catnip. That brought out the animal in him! I do hope that Nat and Ton adopt Sun and Junior. This show is just wonderful, so original and a little bit quirky and among my top shows for 2024.
