You have to take it with the context, there are only 3 episodes so the story does not go into great detail, but with the time that they had I thought they nailed it! What made this drama as great as it is was the casting, Benz and Prom's chemistry between their characters had me blushing the entire time I was watching. I mean look at Praram's smile how can you not just melt.
I hope they either give Benz and Prom another series together or possibly redo this story but a full series so it can go more in depth into the storyline!
Benz's acting really made this drama to be honest, he is a very talented actor and I constantly found myself forgetting that he was both Pralak and Praram and that he does not actually have a twin. I will definitely be rewatching this drama as I cannot get enough of these characters, my favourite of the En of Love's so far probably!

Kinda harsh but it was so mid
Okay I actually made some notes while watching lol and I am going to break down my thoughts. This was a very mediocre drama for me but it gives exactly what its supposed too?? If that makes sense.If I'm being honest I only started this drama for JoongDunk and personally they were the only reason I stayed and completed it. The story was not it, it dragged on and was kind of boring at times, and then it was super confusing and rushed at others. I have to get this very controversial opinion out of the way but FirstKhao have 0 chemistry I am sorry!! This is my first introduction to them as a couple and they were very forgettable to me, I ended up skipping parts of their storyline towards the end cause it was too cringe for me. I loved Bison's character, he is an actual psycho and I loved his unhinged moments.
Style was my absolute favourite character in the whole show, I think Dunk portrayed the shameless sassy character that Style is perfectly. I literally made a note saying "Why is Style saying "Fadel. I want a future with you" the most romantic thing I've ever heard" that moment was so beautiful to me, JoongDunk can really portray characters in love let me tell you. I am all about chemistry and JoongDunk really nail that, I think FadelStyle have been my favourite's of their characters that I have seen so far.
Overall, I can see myself re-watching just JoongDunk's storyline in the drama, it was a very average drama but I think as a fan of either couple you will enjoy it.

Would Recommend! Great cast with amazing chemistry
I noticed this series was getting a lot of hate throughout airing and I'm not sure why. Personally I loved this series, I see lots of comments going around that its too slow and I can see how that may come across but I'd still have to disagree, I love the how this series was sort of a slow burn, it may seem slow because a lot of the series is a flashback before they come to present times but I think that added to the charm of the series. I loved seeing how the characters met each other and how they all have a history with each other, that added a lot of depth to the characters and their relationships for me.I started the series because of the scenes I had seen beforehand of PureFolk and even though they are a side couple who weren't introduced till towards the end of the series, for me they stole the show! The chemistry between Fiat and Aun was amazing, they work so well together and I hope they get another series together.
I do agree the beginning was a little rough and awkward, but they were Highschoolers and I think that just made their characters more authentic, as the show went on and the timeline came to them being in university it almost was perfect because it gave the actors time to become more comfortable in their roles and you could really see their character development through that.
Overall, I would recommend this series and I will probably be rewatching it again in the future, the plot was kind of a typical BL plot (but they're popular for a reason), the casting was phenomenal, and the chemistry between the actors had me blushing when their characters would interact. I hope they get a second season so we can see more of everyone being happy and together in their couples, but if not they ended the series quite perfectly in my opinion!

I want to give it 8/10 SO bad
Man I loved this drama so much, I'm going to miss these characters so much but I am so excited for the second season!! I made a note while watching that literally said "this feels like a breath of fresh air" and I still agree after finishing. This drama gave me classic Thai BL vibes, it reminded me of the first BLs I watched in like 2019 pre-pandemic days lol. It was good vibes, great chemistry and I can see myself re-watching in the (near) future.Now with that being said I have to confess I skipped through most of Hill and Ter's storyline... I'm sorry but they did not have me hooked. I pushed through the first 3 eps to give them the benefit of the doubt but after that I basically 2x speed all their scenes. Personally I don't think it took away from the overall drama, I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything or that there were plot holes. This is the reason I couldn't justify giving this drama an 8/10 because I literally skipped the main couples story lol oops.
Anyways, lets get onto the stars of the show MaxkyBas omgggg I am obsessed lol (they were the main couple in my brain). I absolutely LOVED Bas' character, North was the perfect mix of cute and stubborn and the JohanNorth dynamic is one of my faves. They had this way of making me forget that they were acting, like for real getting lost in the drama. All their scenes the chemistry just seemed so natural and effortless and I was literally smiling so big with all their scenes. They are definitely the main reason I will be re-watching I'm sure, I just cannot get enough and am excited to watch their special episode!!
What I really liked about this drama too is that the side pairings didn't get a ton of screen time, they had their moments here and there but they left you wanting more. Which is perfect for them leading into the second season (good marketing Wabi Sabi). Now if we could just have a release date for S2 plsss...
Overall I highly recommend this drama for good classic BL vibes and great chemistry!!

Thame... oh how I love you
Oh my goodness where do I even start, I should have been taking notes while watching lol. I freaking LOVED this drama, it has been a long time since I have rated something 9/10 and honestly it takes a lot to get that but how could I not this was a masterpiece.Lets start off by saying COMMUNICATION!!! I hate a miscommunication trope and this drama delivered the exact opposite, like hello to the biggest green flag... Thame. Anytime Po doubted his feelings or his relationship with Thame, he was right there to reassure him. I cannot believe this is William's first drama because he absolutely crushed the role. Building off of that, WilliamEst chemistry is next level. Literally radiating through the screen you could feel how deeply they felt for each other, a big reason why I am now obssessed. I swear every episode I was holding my breath and completely and utterly locked in.
At the end of the day this was just such a good romance drama, I liked that there was only 1 couple and so we got to focus just on them. I have to talk about the tension, literally every episode, just a brush of their fingers or the nervous hand holding I squealed (actually out loud lol). I feel like every episode delivered, there wasn't 1 episode that I wanted to skip through useless parts/ moments, I truly loved every second of it (except Miss Pemika can burn in a fire fr).
This drama has so easily made it into my top lists, not only did everything I say above hit so hard but I loved the way they tackled issues surrounding idol relationships and toxic companies. I was so angry and upset with the fans when it came to Pepper and then so frustrated with ONER when it came to everything with Thame but it was also so needed. This is a reality for many idols and as a fan of idol groups myself it is important to remember at the end of the day idols are just human. I also loved how the main conflict between Thame and Po was so short, it wasn't dragged out multiple episodes, which don't get me wrong works for some dramas but this one it wasn't the main focus and didn't need to be. And yet there was still conflict throughout the series but it focused on other areas and topics.
Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

Cute Slowburn High School Romance
Well finally getting around to watching this one lol...I really enjoyed this drama, is was a cute slowburn high school romance and gave all those vibes perfectly. I love GeminiFourth and this was my first of their dramas and I will definitely watch more! I swear every episode I had to mention how handsome Gemini is, I loved the character Tinn he was so sweet and just so in love with Gun I was blushing. Bring back yearning!! Gemini did an amazing job portraying his character you could feel the pining and love for Gun in every episode.
This was one of my first dramas that I didn't skip through all the music scenes lol, I actually downloaded a couple songs because the OST for this drama is banging. I love a drama with a big group of friends (it has been a theme of the dramas I've been watching lately) and I loved the dynamics of Gun's band and the student council. I also liked how they touched on the side couples but the main focus was the main couple and the band which I liked.
This wasn't a romance heavy drama, which for being a high school drama I didn't mind. I liked to see the friends supporting each other, the band working hard to achieve their club goal etc. That being said the romance that we got was just what this drama needed. It was overall a good balance, when it was focusing on the relationships of the couples I was locked in, blushing and rooting for each one to be together. On the other hand when it was focusing on the other parts of the storyline I was also fully invested and cheering them on in achieving their goals. I liked the different dynamics with Tinn and Gun's parents (I love Tinn's dad lol).
I highly recommend this drama, it is a GeminiFourth classic and just a light hearted good time!

A Silly Little Drama
So apparently I had watched this when it first came out and rated it 3 stars... but I decided to rewatch it because I am in my PondPhuwin era lol and I actually had no recollection of this drama at all so it felt like the first time watching it. I will say I made a note when I watched it for the first time back in 2021 that I couldn't get past the cultural appropriation in ep4 which is still valid, I skipped through those scenes this time around.I thought the cast executed this drama really well, it's just a fun unserious show that had me laughing every episode. I love Neo so much and I thought he portrayed Duean perfectly, and his whole gang of friends played off each other really well. Pond and Phuwin really have had chemistry from their very first drama cause the way Mork was pining after Pi throughout the whole show had me blushing right along side him. Is it a PondPhuwin curse that they don't get together till the very last episode??? because damn I thought there was gonna be 16 or 24 episodes when I started ep12 and they weren't even official yet lol.
I think this was a fine drama, not a very high rewatch value for me but I still enjoyed the lighthearted comedy that this provided.

I had a fun time
Oh how I adore PondPhuwin. I really enjoyed this series, I thought they did a great job of showcasing each couple and their storylines. I think the story itself was lacking a bit, but the actors did such a great job that it didn't bother me that much lol.I wasn't sure what to expect and honestly started watching this drama solely because of Pond and Phuwin and I fell in love with the other couples along the way. The chemistry between PondPhuwin and AouBoom is undeniable. I wish we got more of Aou and Boom's storyline, I freaking love Tan and how obsessed he is with Fang. I didn't expect basically all the side couples to get together before the main couple even admitted their feelings, but we still got all the cheesy cute moments from all along the way.
This is not a deep story by any means, definitely don't have to do a lot of thinking, but it was fun!! I had a good time, I felt the love, I loved the big group of friends. Overall I think this series has a very high rewatch value for me personally, I am already missing Phum and Peem.

Had so much potential!!
I am so conflicted with this drama, it could have been so good. I liked the casting I thought all the actors were great and both couples had great chemistry, its just the story really sucked.It started out so well, I fell in love with Hangyeom lol and was rooting for both pairs but literally the last few episodes tanked my rating. The script got very homophobic and bad but then all of a sudden they were madly in love? I couldn't get behind it plot wise but I tried to look past some because I really loved the couples. If you took the actors and put them in another story with a better plot and script then I think they could make a great BL.
Anyways, it was fine. I am sad at what could have been and will hold out hope that they will pair these guys together again and make something great.

So I will start with a little disclaimer: I am probably biased when it comes to this drama a little bit as New is my absolute favourite actor, so I probably got a lil more enjoyment out of his scenes than the average person watching. Overall I thought this was a really good drama, I haven't watched the movie but I really enjoyed this drama. I found it to be very slow in the beginning which was pretty discouraging but pushed through in hopes of it improving and boy am I glad I did! I really liked the chemistry between all the characters, not just romantically with the coupled but the friend groups as well, I thought were really was casted well.
I agree with many other reviews that I saw, it did not feel as though Waii and Apo were the main couple as they didn't get much screen time, especially in the beginning. Towards the end though they got a lot more scenes and this is where I really started to get into the drama as New and Earth did a phenomenal job portraying their characters, their connection had me hooked! I feel as though the show focused too much on Min and Wan, it almost felt as though they were the main couple, and honestly I did not click with their characters. In the first half of the show it seems to only focus on these 2 characters and I didn't think they needed to pay as much attention as they did to them.
The biggest thing I would've changed with the show was to see more of Kluay and Achi as they got ripped off, in my opinion, when it came to their storyline. I loved the chemistry between their characters and wanted to see more of them together. Also I will put a little note I was not pleased with what they did to Pan's character, she clearly said she was a lesbian and even said she didn't like men but in the end they had her end up with a man which I found very upsetting (I did end up skipping a lot of their scenes as I disagreed with this, so I could have missed her saying she was Bi or something).
Now, despite all the things I wasn't too happy with I did love the show, and will probably rewatch it again. This show had me go through all the emotions, I was angry, heartbroken, happy etc. I found that once it passed the slow parts and the drama seemed to really get going that it flowed really well, they had my attention and I was on the edge of my seat. I'm not gonna lie I did have to pause and take a breath a few times as I got way too into it and was very frustrated with the characters lol. I loved the plot part of the end, I thought it was very mature and realistic which you don't always get in dramas so it was a nice change. To conclude, what I think would of helped improve the show tremendously was if they didn't try to focus on so many "main character" storylines at the same time, as it got kind of boring trying to follow so much but also at times seemed all over the place, I thoroughly enjoyed this drama!

chemistry. Chemistry. CHEMISTRY
Oh I am so sad this is over what a journey this drama was. I fell in love with this cast and the story and I am going to miss all the characters every Sunday lol.This is my first drama with ForceBook and I literally was hooked from like the second episode and I remember saying out loud to myself "I am going to be so sad when its over." I loved their story and I LOVED the Arm-Sand-Po trio so much!! It brought a comedic element and their group dynamic was perfect. I was sad to move on from the ArcArm storyline, but I will now be watching all of ForceBook's series lol.
PerthSanta was the reason I started this show ngl, I have been in love with Perth and his works for years so I am always eager to watch anything he is in. I fell for their couple immediately, their chemistry is unmatched for their first drama together too. Their storyline made me so sad lol but also the most smiley and giggly, they had me kicking my feet and twirling my hair. I thought this pairing was perfect and even though Gun gave in too easily imo I love them sm. I also loved the dynamic of Gun and Faifa being besties with Fai and Yotha being brothers, there were a lot of good moments throughout that made me laugh.
I feel like the drama started to drag on towards the end, as much as I love Faifa and Wine I just felt like they didn't need as many episodes for their storyline... I loved Faifa's character and I'm glad that he got his part in the plot but I just was missing ArcArm and YothaGun too much by the end I wasn't fully in to FaifaWine's story as I was the others. However, the last episode I thought tied everything so perfectly, seeing the old trio, characters from the first episodes, the ending to KlaoWa's story (which I love AouBoom a lot too so I was happy to get glimpse's of them throughout). It was just a perfect sum up of the series.
I really loved this drama, I highly recommend. Like I said many times I am so sad to see it go and not getting to see these characters anymore but I am excited to watch all the actors in new and upcoming works!!

YinWar does it again!
I'll start this off by saying I may be a bit biased as I absolutely LOVE YinWar but I mean who doesn't...I really loved this drama, the story was fun and the cast hit it out of the park! There's no denying YinWar has amazing chemistry, but all the side characters and pairings were amazing as well (I will still be holding out hope for a S2 with Tattoo and Aran). I didn't watch this as it was airing unfortunately just at the end of its runtime but I literally binged the whole season in a day because I got so sucked in every episode.
I can't wait to see more projects from these actors, I had such a fun time watching this series!!
