I have stated this before and I am sying it again- I threw caution to the wind and watched this series asit was clearly not a genre that I watched. I basically only watched this due to the actor Lee Dong Wook as I watched two series with h and loved him dearly in them! This character is TOTALLY different from his other characters but he kept me enthralled with his acting!

Story-10/10
The storyline was excellent! It went in a direction that I never saw coming. I mean, I started this on 11th May and finished it on the 12th May. That's how entertaining it was.

Acting/Cast-10/10
All the actors were excellent in the characters that they played. It also showed me a different side of Lee Dong Wook that I didn't know he had. He is truly a superb actor and I need to see more series/ shows with him starring in it.

Music-8/10
The music was awesome and addictive.

Rewatch Valu-1/10
Stated it before. This is not a usual genre that I watched. I basically only watched it for Lee Dong Wook. There is no way whatsoever that I will watch it again.

Overall-8/10
The suggested overall is 7.5/10. However, this series was good, so I am going to give it an 8. I will recommend this series to people who actually like this genre or who wants to see Lee Dong Wook in another acting role that isn't Goblin or Tale of the Nine-Tailed.

A simple love story with maths added to the equation

I stumbled upon this series and I will say that it caught my attention. While it told a sweet love story that has been told a thoisand times in Thai BL- it added something unique to it- maths. I would have never think that a series dealing with love would think of putting maths to the equation. It was different for me.

Story-8/10
I have decided to give this story an eight due to the fact of the uniqueness it had by adding maths to a love story. I will say that I am not a big fan for maths, but to see it being used in such a way did surprise me a bit.

Other reasons why I adore this story is due to the fact that Sine's mom who appeared in the last episode supported him and his heart in love, which is usually not seen in some Thai BL's. Also, while they did make it seem like a love triangle, it was nice to see Lin realizing that Sine and Tan cared for each other and she talked to Sine about his feelings for Tan.

Acting/Cast-8/10
I felt that the actors were able to get the story across beautifully. I felt when they were confused, angry, sad and happy. I hope that they will be able to get more acting roles cause they did impress me.

Music-7/10
The music was okay.

Rewatch Valu- 7.5/10
I do see myself watching this again in the near future. It took a different take on a normal story that we are told so much in Thai BL. I do see myself watching it sometime in the near future.

Overall-7.5/10
I liked the story and how something that is told over and over again, the company was able to put a new twist on it. It was truly a good and entertaining series.

I still liked it

I know, I know. Some parts of this series were...just not it. But I still felt that it still had some good aspects in this series. And I think that people are forgetting that this is the same company (Star Hunter Entertainment) that brought to us monstrosities like '2 brothers', 'Gen Y' Seasons 1 AND 2 and 'Hotel Stars'. They also bought us little gems that had potential to be big like 'My Mate Match,' 'What Zabb Man' and my personal fave from the 'Big Dragon.'

Now, as I have gotten that off of my chest, I must say that SunsetxVibes had some flaws. But it shined in other aspects. I loved the chemistry between Mos and Bank's characters (which we can see throughout the series but especially in episodes 11 and 12) as well as the storyline around them and their blossoming relationship and how it even led to us audience meeting Salin's family members and seeing their interactions with one another, and I believe that they did a stellar job. And the series also gets some positive aspect from me as they brought back the masterpiece OST 'Dancing With The Devil' which was used in 'Big Dragon' in episode 12. I also loved the interaction between the side male couple (Sam and Yotha). Their bickering with each other and how their relationship progressed throughout the series made me happy watching them each week (and let's not talk about their NC scene in episode 11!). And of course, I adore my little bit of comedic dosage from Chan and Juldis in this series.

What I didn't like, and I don't know if it was included in the book, is the supernatural aspect. It did nothing for me. I guess it wasn't written/ explained well for the point to come across to me. I actually felt that if it was not included, this series would have been better.

I am glad that i did give it a watch and no one can convince me that Mos and Bank does not have chemistry, because they do and it was shown vastly in this series.

A quick and enjoyable watch that I am going to miss

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

Today marks the end of the series 'Spring Fever'. I adore this series so much that I couldn't wait for Mondays and Tuesdays to come so that I could watch the new episodes. Now, you may ask – is this series perfect? No, no, it's not, as I did get annoyed sometimes with the secondary couple. Yet, everyone else just made this series perfect. I, of course, fell in love with Bom-sik, the rescued dog. Whenever he appeared on the screen- he stole the show!

Besides Bom-sik, I can safely say that all of the secondary charcters (except maybe that of Choi Se Jin and her parents as they annoyed me to an extent) were enjoyable and I know that I will miss them as I have completed this series. This was truly a simple enjoyable rom com series to watch. I am glad that I gave it a chance as I would have really not know what I was missing. I would totally recommend this seires to others as it is relatively good.

Series completed

Just finished this series and while I agree that it is no way one of the best, I must state that I have seen worse tha this. Matter of fact, I'm still watching it, counting down for it to end because I already know what rating I am going to give it.

This series, unlike the next one, I knew what the plot was and was able to follow it (it was a week one, but still).

And yes the acting and the script was not one of yhe best and I got annoyed at the ending, but I can still say, it was still better than what I am watching that still has not one, but TWO episodes remaining.

It had very, very, VERY few good parts (one that comes to mind is the acceptance of Kim and Kamol's relationship from Kim's parents, especially the dad).

Overall, I give this series an A for effort. But my final official rating is 3.5/10. And yes, this is actually higher compared to what I am going to give the next BL that I am currently watching.

I finished this series two days ago and I have decided to review it cause I honestly don't know what to rate it. So here goes!

Story-6/10 (carried it to the nearest number)
Solo and Gui- 7.5/10
They were cute in the beginning. I liked them! Two boys meeting in the night and thier love blossoming was just beautiful to me. But then the series HAD to introduce a fiancee ( who by the way was NOT even part of the book! I mean, Linda was in the book- just not Solo's fiancee). And then Solo's dad was just not right for me. I mean, I get why he did what he did, but still- he really sucked as a dad.

Kao and Phuri- 9/10
This secondary couple made me comeback every week! They were so cute and I smiled everytime they were on the screen. They actually carried me more on an emotional rollercoaster than the main couple. And I am happy that Phuri is coming back to Thailand (although the way that they were talking, it was gonna be some years for them to see each other).

Khim and Dr. Petch-1/10
Why? Cause I can't give them anything lower than that. They weren't even in the book and I still don't see why they were in this series. They didn't serve any purpose for me and I still think that Dr. Petch should have ended up alone. He hurt two people to get the girl that he liked and everything is honky dory?! HELL NO!

Dr. Perth and Khem- 6/10
They should have developed more on this couple. It ends with us kind of seeing that (maybe) Khem has a crush on Dr. Perth. If they do have a second season, I hope that this couple be developed.

Acting/Cast- 7/10
I am giving this a seven, cause it made me hate some characters as well as truly adore them.

Music-7.5/10
The music is cute and I like it!

Rewatch Valu- 6/10
I am not that eager to watch this series cause again- what was the point of Dr. Perth, Khim and Khem's storyline? I still don't see the point of them! Also, if they didn't introduce Solo's fiancee, I may have been more eager to rewatch this series. I mean, I could just watch it for Kao and Phuri ( that's the reason why I gave it a 6, though).

Overall- 6.5/10
It honestly did start off good. I did like it, especially Kao and Phuri. But, I guess that they can save this series for me. I don't even know if I would recommend this series. I might just tell people to just watch Kao and Phuri scenes.

Was excited for this in the beginning. But it was a let down for me.

This is unfortunately with the other series/shows thay made a sequel to an amazing series and the end result was disappointment. Even trying to treat this series as a standalone still did not help it for me.

Story- 4.5/10
I think that I am being generous here. Cause I can list out what was wrong with this story- the two main ones being for me the retelling of Tin and Can, which could have been good if it still lived up to the first season, but it wasn't. I felt like I was given a cardboard copy of a really, REALLY great couple and story. Also, what really was the point of Ae? To be all mopey and missing the love of his life?! The ONLY reason why I am giving it a 4.5/10 is because Tul and Gonhin kind of saved the story for me. Some of them I am wondering what was the point of them returning (I'm looking at you Tar). And other supporting characters did a total 180 and were not themselves like how they were in season one (I'm looking at you Pond). And can someone tell me what was really the point of Tar this season, cause I still don't see any point for him. And then the easy wrapping up love story for Tum and Keen and Techno and Kengla- yeah, it would have been nice if they were explored a bit more.

Acting- 6/10
The actors tried with this crap that they were given to act out. They really did. Sometimes thier acting shined through and sometimes it fell flat for me.

Music-6/10
Eventhough the same singer sang some of the songs from the first season and I love the singer's other songs, the music in this series really didn't stand out for me to give it a higher mark than 6, cause it was not as memorable as those songs.

Rewatch Value- 4/10
I'm sorry but I am not that eager to watch this again. And if I did watch it again, it will be for Tul and Gonhin.

Overall-5/10
Come on, P'New! This has gotta be the lowest score that I have given to any of your series. I know what this director is capable of as I truly loved some of his previous series and this one was a bit of a disappointment for me.

This show had sooo much potential when it first began for me. I loved everything about it! The actors, the animatin, the OST, the acting- everything! Yet, somehow, as the series progressed, the zeal and joy that I had watching this series, began to dwindle for me.

Story-8/10
It started off different and cute, with the introduction of not one, but two main couples. They were both sweet and representing different sides of love. Fighter and Tutor offering the sexy and Zon and Saifah offering the cute and funny. And besides these two main couples, we were also introduced to side couples as well, who I also feel in love with!
However, as the story progressed, it can be clearly seen that the side couple's stories would not get enough airtime for their story to be told. Things happened and I just got confused (like Blue and Dew- what the heck happened there and when did that happen!). They did bring me joy when they did appear, though.
Zon and Saifah were, unfortunately affected by COVID-19 as the actors were not able to finish shooting all of their scenes. Due to this, their story was just jumping all over the place (bad editing on the production teams part) and they got less aired time compared to that of Tutor and Fighter. The director, however, did promise a special episode of just this couple- so that is a good thing!
Tutor and Fighter dominated this series. Their acting was good- not gonna lie- but I kind of got tired of their storyline, especially in episode ten, which was a continuation of episode nine of them on a vacation. Yeah, some of their scenes were steamy. But, to me, it just felt like a filler episode as basically nothing happened in that series, except for them saying they were officially boyfriends. Then we kind of fell in the same old story with breaking up cause your family member don't like me (this time it was the dad), something to bring the boys back together (Tutor falling ill), Fighter finding out about his dad and the boys getting back together. I, honestly, didn't feel emotional during the scene when the boys broke up- I don't know why.
And then the final episode, for me, kind of felt rushed and just wraps up everything easy peasy that the boys were facing.

Acting/Casting- 9/10
I have said it before! I love everyone's acting in this series. I even felt that some of the minor characters shined brighter than the main characters (looking at Tutor's boss!) They worked with what they have and it shows!

Music-8/10
I like the beginning of the OST and the song that Zon and Saifah sang. It was truly cute!

Rewatch Value- 6/10
Because of the bad editing and some unfinished stories for some of the characters, I gave this a 6/10. I will watch it (or at least some parts of it) but I am not that eager to watch it

It was a nice wrap up for 2gether and Still 2gether

I was finally able to sit down and watch this movie. And I am glad that I did. I never realised how much I missed these guys until I was watching the movie. I am now glad that I was able to see Tine and Sarawat's story come full circle.

Story-8/10
Yes. The majority of the movie is scenes from '2gether' with a pinch from 'Still 2gether.' And I know some people maybe angry at this. However! I felt with the voice over added to the story, we are able to clearly see how both Sarawat and Tine was feeling- which we weren't before.

And some new scenes were added, which I am grateful for. This helps me get a better understanding of thier love story.

Acting/Cast-9.5/10
Like in both '2gether' and 'Still 2gether ', I will give this movie a 9.5 out of 10 for thier acting.

Music-10/10
As always, the music is a banger. Watching this movie made me fall in love once again with Scrubb. And the last song Sarawat signed...just perfection!

Rewatch Valu-8/10
I'm going with an 8. Cause thia movie not only (kind of) gave me a recap of thier story, it was also able to wrap up thier story so nicely.

Overall-9/10
Overall, I give this movie a 9. And I know some people will be dissapointed with it cause this was not what they were expecting. However, I did enjoy it and I am glad that I finally watched it.

A gem!

I honestly was not expecting to be mesmerised with this series the way that I was. It was really under the radar to thw other three BL's that I am watching- 2 Taiwanese and 1 Thailand. Yet it was still able to somehow manage to hold a place in my heart!

Story-9.5/10
The relationship with Shi On and Hong Seok started off as a creditor and debtor but during the eight episode storyline turns into a budding romance. And I was glad that I was there for it! They had some issues along the way. But they were able to get thrpugh them in order to get the happiness that they deserved.

Acting/Cast-10/10
Hands down- loved the chemistry between the ML's. Also, the supporting cast made me hate them so much from Hong Seok's boss (unil the final episode) and Lex (I really hated him! If I could have go through the screen and punch him- I would!)

Music-9.5/10
Beautiful songs! Totally love them! They were able to set the mood of the series.

Rewatch Valu- 10/10
Hands down I would rewatch this series again! It was so simple and beautiful.

Overall-10/10
In the end, I thoufht that it was a simple, beautiful story thay was told. I would most definitely recommend this story!

It was better than it's Thai compilation

I finished this series today and what can I say? While it's not an outstanding series, it still have certain elements that made it better than its compilation 'Star and Sky: Star in My Mind.'

Story-7/10
While I may have seen previously a similar storyline, I still felt that it was told good. The story of Fah Prince, personally, to me, had some moments. It also had some flaws, which qere a bit annoying. But in the end, I liked it, so I'm giving it a 7.

Acting/Cast-7.5/10
I like Mek and Mark here amd thought they were excellent. Heck, I even liked Khabklluen and Daonuea here as supporting characters and not as main characters in thier previous series. Although at times, I thought they werevin this series a bit too much. So for that I qoll want give it a 7.5/10.

Music-8/10
The music is cool and enjoyable. So I giving it an 8.

Rewatch Valu-7.5/10
I do see myself watching this series again. Just might take some time to watch it agsin.

Overnight-7.5/10

Overall, I give this series the score of 7.5, which is higher than what I gave to it's Thai compilation.

Just as good as the Korean movie version

You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

You guys don't know- I have been looking for the Japanese series version to the Korean movie 'Midnight Runners' for a very long time as I totally adore the movie with all of my heart. And sometimes a new version of something that one holds dear can either be a hit or a miss. This series was definately a hit with me. I saw it on an illegal site in I think the year 2024, but when i went to see if I could watch it last year, the series was just...gone. So, I don't know why, but I looked for it recently and found all of the episodes on another site. And I was so grateful- because the Japanese did an excellent job in retelling the movie (with some parts of it in episode 1 and the whole storyline in episodes 2 and 3) as well as exploring new cases in the remaining seven episodes.

And what can I say? I utterly loved it. It introduced us to more police academy cadets as well as it gave us more chacrter development on the two male leads. The series was not only funny, it was emotional and also the bromance was so well done just as how it was in the movie. This was a quick, enjoyable watch for me as I finished all episodes in one sitting on one day . I honestly believe that more people should definatley watch this series.

It has been a while since I have watched a GMMTV series. I think the last one was Memoir of Rati and that ended in early September. I started this series for one of the challenges for the MDL Watch Challenge 2026. And I am glad that I did. I enjoyed this series so much, and I will say that Pond and Phumin did an excellent job, as they as a couple have been getting better and better in their series.

I would have given this series a 10, but unfortunately, there is a small flaw with two supporting characters, Tawan and Aran. I hear that they were better in the book. It was unfortunate that they weren't handled that well here in this series. Everyone and everything else was just perfect. I know that I will miss these characters as this series has come to an end. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone that just wants to watch the blossom of a relationship and how they got there.

Edit on 20/01/2026:

Now I know why this series was enjoyable. It's because it didn't have that annoying troop of misunderstanding. Peach will always explain something to Mr Thee, telling him why it was wrong and how he felt about certain things (example with the all the people helping Peach when ne had to bath). And Mr. Thee always learned from it and improved himself. Heck, he was so transparent with Peach that he made sure that no misunderstading arose from any situation with him even telling Peach to review recordings to see that Tee did not do anything wrong. And I guess that's why I liked it- it was a breath of fresh air filled with the leads always trying to be honest to each other as well as learning from things.

This was enjoyable...until the last episode

I saw comments where viewers did not like the last two episodes, but this was kind of different for me. I loved all the episodes down to episode 13. It's in the final episode (episode 14) that I just did not like. Yes, we did go through K-drama cliches, but it worked beautifully for those 13 episodes. In episode 14 I felt that they were trying to do too much to wrap up this series.

So many things happened in the last episode that just had me going 'ugh' with the introduction of a certain K-drama troupe. And one of my pet peeves appeared not only once but twice (you can even say three times) in this episode. And then I also really didn't like the ending for the secondary couple due to the pet peeve that was used in this series – Yoo Ha Yeong deserved better from Kim Seon U.

And while the evil characters got their just desserts, I felt that they still wound up getting off easy from Kong Ji Hyeok. All in all, I may be in the minority that enjoyed this series for the majority of the run – it's just that the last episode really was not it for me.

It's been a while since I actually binge-watched a series in less than one and a half days and thoroughly enjoyed it. The length of each episode was good, as I didn't get bored while watching them. The actors were phenomenal in their roles, portraying their characters in a way that made me cry/ be happy/be sad/ angry with them as well as for them. The music for this series was, of course, top-notch, making me bob my head along with it as well as (try to ) sing along with it.

I would have liked to get to know more about the ML's father as well as at least see the face of the person who trained him, but I guess those aspects add to the flair of this series. And, who knows? Maybe they might touch on these aspects in the new season when Hwang Min Hyun finishes his military enlistment this year.

I believe I like this series as it shows people that in a bad situation, you can still have a dream where you can better yourselves. That they should at least continue fighting for these dreams when there are negative things around them and in their lives- that's what I got to take from all of these characters. This was truly a wonderful and surprisingly entertaining series. Even though I originally watched this series for the MDL 2025 Watch challenge, I am glad that I did, and I highly recommend this series to other people who are wondering if they should give it a watch.
