Only one episode left! I do wish it ran to 12, but there it is. This is just so good in every respect and is probably my top show for 2024. Fort as Mahasamut is the absolute standout, not only for his looks but also for his acting ability and the wonderful character portrayed.

My goodness, such a big fan base for Sam and Yo. I am part of it too and I hope their story is filled out more so they too become a couple. The fantasy aspect of this series is, however, a bit farfetched for my taste, even though I'm quite used to it now. Despite Sun's fiancé entering the picture, I'm sure Sarin has nothing to worry about as Sun is smitten with him, though that won't stop him until Sun puts his fears to rest.
If GMMTV is the best production company for often mindless, fluffy BL romcoms, one31 on the other hand is the winner for full-blooded, exciting BL dramas and 'Century of Love' upholds the tradition. From one episode to the next, it's edge-of-the-seat action and suspense. The giveaway for who had the real stone was of course that it glowed while Wee was holding it and didn't while Miss Wad was, so we know he is the true incarnation of her. So now it's once again San to the rescue and on from there to the finish line.
I've always had a soft spot for Latte, he's such a sweetie, and he's done wonders for Almond. As for Peak, he does have his failings but you just have to live with them. However, he has found happiness with Thanwa, which brings us to the long anticipated confrontation with Peak's father and his marriage to Jane, which went much better than anyone expected. That being done with, it is now Jane who is about to throw a spanner in the works and has been so supportive and understanding of Peak. Why on earth has she decided to do it at this point? Fortunately, it will all be resolved, happily I expect, in the next and final episode.
For me, that was possibly the best sports-themed BL series I've ever seen because it had so much more than basketball within the screenplay to get one's adrenalin rushing. The emotional highlight of the final episode was the scene midmatch when Zen and Ryu had their heart-to-heart to ensure they played their best while Ryu was still coming to terms that Zen was leaving for Phuket and after their hug, Ryu kissed Zen on the cheek - just the sort of audacious but loving gesture one would expect from him. As noted elsewhere, the ending was a bit rushed and Zen's unexplained return after three months was created solely to make for a happy ending so the two boys could continue to be together (nothing to complain about, though). Altogether, an excellent series.
As far as I'm concerned, this series is no better and no worse than many BL series coming out of Thailand, however it's a solid effort with likeable and attractive characters and an interesting storyline. If people are going to give up on it just because it doesn't meet their strict value system as to what is or is not worth watching, that's entirely up to them, but it's their loss. I feel it is worth watching and I'm enjoying it for what it is so that's good enough for me.
The tall guy who is also the bad guy is incredibly attractive and rather irresistible so it's no wonder that Jinwoo finds himself in a dilemma regarding his feelings for him. At the end of each episode, one is asked to join the production company to see the uncut version but I wonder how much more we'll see and whether it's worth it.

Interesting you should say that. Years ago I recall a series in which someone had done just that which was very helpful but I can't remember the name of it.
I gather that in the original manga which this series is based on, the teacher was homophobic so GMMTV made him gay which I thought he was when he called the two boys in to talk to them and gave them a look that said 'I understand your situation'. This seemed just right to me as he could tell the two boys were struggling with first love and didn't think it was right to intervene, nor would the boys spontaneously reveal it to a teacher. However, when Atom discovers that he is gay, the decision for the change makes it seem right so the boys' romance can resume and gives Atom the courage to announce that he and Kongthap are boyfriends to their friends, which is handled brilliantly as they look around waiting for a response after what seems like an eternity and the head boy says, "Finally, you two decide to tell us" and they all cheer. This unqualified acceptance makes it special even though it's probably unlikely in real life.
This is one terrific show, unlike any I've seen before in terms of the story. As an English speaker, I don't have a problem with the dubbing which I barely notice, nor the costumes and jewellery. Indeed, it doesn't look like a cheap production to me. The developing love between the two MLs is also unlike any I've seen. That plus all the subplots that move the action along make this really interesting and having two episodes per week is a bonus.
Vee is adorable and has the most winning smile combined with a bubbly personality. San is doing his best not to succumb to the boy's charms but with two wet dreams on record, it appears to be a losing battle. Chen is never going to come up with a female descendant of Miss Wad and furthermore the right person has to occur under specific circumstances, and I'm also sure he's the one that repeatedly stabbed Vee, though how he survived that will certainly be interesting.
