1 of the better BL's from Star Hunter Entertainment
The trailer of this series is what got me interested in it. But it also made me wary as it was a Star Hunter Entertainment series. And I muat say, all except one of thier series has fell flat with me. So, I didn't really have high expectations for this series and I guess that's why I was still sort of entertained by it.I would also like to say I don't know why people got the misconception that this series was another KinnPorsche. The trailer in no way showed that to me. And even by watching the first episode, you can clearly see that this series was nowhere the same as KinnPorsche, except for the ML's first time together with a 'drug' and I guess to a very small extent the cinematography. Heck! The ML's were still in college here and they were not even apart of the mafia! That's all I got for similarities.
Story-7.5/10
This story starts off with Yai and Mangkorn being romantic rivals. But that changed when they spent a wild night together. And that's how the story begins from rivals to lovers. Along the way, we learn a bit of Yai and Mangkorn's life and the fact that they met wach other qhen they were younger. And it was nice to see that Yai wanted Mangkorn to go and study for his masters as Mangkorn's happiness was his happiness. It was nice to see that they end up together at the end wih Yai even saying hecwas moving to the States to be with him until he completes his masters.
What was not nice was seeing someone name Turtle appear at the end of the finale episode; leaving us viewers confused and then them saying a Season 2 is coming. I despise continuation of series. If I KNEW that a second season was coming, I honestly would not have started this series. Also, I find the actor who played Nine needs his own series by now. I have watched THREE series with him basically being the second male lead and ALWAYS never ending up with the male lead. Star Hunter Entertainment - time to cast this man in his own series where he actually gets the guy. Finally, the bodyguards storyline should have developed more. I was waiting for something and was left with nothing but dissapointment. And because of that, I'm giving it a 7.5.
Acting/ Cast-8/10
This was the ML's first main roles and they actually did a better job compared to other actors under Star Hunter Entertainment. While I felt Mos was a bit weaker in his acting to ISBANKY, I can say hecwas way better to the other actors under Star Hunter Entertainment who have more shows under his belt than him. As such, I'm giving them an 8.
Music-10/10
Music is a 10. Nothing can change my mind 'Dancing With The Devil ' is a song that is stuck in my head. ISBANKY did a wonderful job with the OST.
Rewatch Valu-6.5/10
The rewatch valu would have been a higer rating IF there was no announcement of a second season. But because there is a second season (which I honestly did not see any need for, especially if those last few minutes were not added), my rewatch valu is a 6.5
Overall-8/10
Overall I give this an 8. I don't know how and why, but it kept me entertained every week. However, I still do not see the need for a second season.

Lesson learned- always go with your first instinct in choosing a series to watch
When I saw the post for this series the first time, I was drawn inby the plot. And then when I saw the MC, I was a bit ecstatic, cause I saw both Green and Chap in previous series and I liked thier acting.When I saw who the director was- I becam a bit hesitant/weary. I have watched two movies and a series previously from him and well...they really weren't the best. However, I still decided to watch this series. And that right there is my fault, cause I should have listened to my first instinct.
Story- 5.5/10
The storyline is so damn choppy as it is only eight twenty minute episodes. These episodes are trying to tell a story that does not come across that well. Do we really need that much secondary characters that I felt really did not add anything to this very time constraint series?
And when the secondary characters are shown on the screen, they aren't really developed and thus leaving me confused/ annoyed because I'm like 'Really, what's the point of them?!' If this series had just focused on the MC and not add unnecessary secondary characters to 'try' to make this series interesting, I know that I would have liked it a bit more. But otherwise than that, I did enjoy the MC and Sichol. The other characters- not so much.
Acting/Cast-5/10
As I have stated above, I loved the MC Chap anf Green as well as Sichol in the story. And thus, I liked them in thier acting. The rest of the characters- not so much. I especially did not likevAiaoon'scbrother, Oab and his step mom- found them to be a waste of time.
Music-7.5/10
The music was the only good thing out of this series. It was cute and addictive. This is the only thing that I am going to miss- hearing this song on a weekly basis.
Rewatch Valu-2/10
I'm being generous here in giving them a 2. Cause I really don't and won't watch this series anytime soon. It was not executed well and I don't want to put myself through this again.
Overall-5/10
Overall I give this a 5. And that's unfortunate. Cause the first episode was really good and I wanted to continue watching to see the outcome of this couple. But I was just so dissapointed at the end. Hopefully I have learnt my lesson and will try to refrain myself from watching another series/ movie from this director.

This series is not for everyone
Before I start with my review, I would like to say that people need to know that everyone has a personal preference be it to shows, songs, food and other things. What you may like in something, another person may despise. I feel like people in this comment section need to realize that. That doesn't make you better than them if an individual likes something and you are pointing out the flaws. I also feel that people need to respect people's opinion in the comments section. I would also like to add that these are my opinions and rating on this series, so...yeah.Story-8/10
I am giving this series an 8. The reason is due to the fact that I have some issues with this series. And no, it's not because Ye Xing Si and Fu Young Jie are step brothers and had sex with each other. It's because I have a pet peeve with using certain devices to move along a series. In this series, they used alcohol. I don't care if a person is in a relationship with someone, married or have underlying feelings for each other. Once you use alcohol on one of the characters and the relationship develops off of this, it's going to annoy me. Also, I had some issues with Xiao Li Chen and Teng Mu Ren's progress in relationship as well when Xiao Li Cheng told Teng Mu Ren that he liked him (the way he told him when they went on the trip). I originally was going to give the storyline a lower score, however, due to Ye Xing Si father's reaction and acceptance of his son's and step son's relationship, I went with an 8.
Acting/Cast-7.5/10
Not gonna lie. I was going to give this a lower score due to one character. But then I realized that the show did bring out an emotion in me every time that I saw Fu Young Jie on the screen, so I am going to give it a 7.5. I do love the actors of Xiao Li Cheng and Teng Mu Ren, although there were times I felt it there acting was a bit over the top for me.
Music-5/10
Gonna be real with you- the music is neither here nor there for me in this series. I actually don't remember how the OST goes, unless I watch the series. And then when the series is done, the song is forgotten again.
Rewatch Value- 4/10
Honestly, I do not see myself coming back to watch this series anytime soon. There were some things in this series that I don't like and Xiao Li Chen and Teng Mu Ren can't pull me back in to give this series another watch soon.
Overall-6/10
I can see why people love this series and I can see why people hate it. I don't see myself recommending this series to anyone wholeheartedly. However, if someone ask if they should watch this series, I will tell them give a few episodes a go and see if it is for you. This series isn't for everyone and people need to respect that.

I'm sorry, but I can honestly say that these five episodes didn't really get me excited the way people are in the comments. 2gether the series is still the best out of the two for me. I mean, I get why people are saying that it's better - cause they got the kiss scenes that they were arguing for in the first season as well as chemistry with the actors (although I saw the chemistry with Sarawat and Tine in 2gether the series) and now saying Sarawat and Tine are no longer having a bromance but a relationship. However, I felt like I was let down story wise as there was no plot. I mean, even in Our Sky, which the director directed one of the five episodes, there were plots for each couple in each episodes. But, here, I really saw none. That's why I had to give the story a five.
The acting is still there amongst the actors so I scored that a 9.5 and the music is stellar so I gave that a 10. As for rewatching it's a 5, cause I can't see myself watching something where I felt there really was no story to only watch the boys kissing at the end.
This is the lowest that I have given this director at 7.5. I hope that his next project I will like more dearly than this.

I surprisingly enjoyed it
DisclaimerWhat I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this movie. 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 better score and why it is better than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.
Let me start by saying that this series was not on my radar to watch. However, I have been away for a short period ( 1 month), and I decided to watch this series. I am glad that I did, as I must say, I did enjoy it. I felt that William and Est did a good job here, as this was their first leading series. I liked some of the other main actors ( Lego, Hong and Nut) and some of the supporting characters ( Sammy and Drake) more than them, though, at times. I have watched previous series that dealt with singers, but this one dealt with the side that I know Kpop fans live in when someone from your fave group starts dating, what would be the outcome? It is a sad truth that these idols do apologise for just dating someone that they like and for just living their lives. So, it was sad seeing that in this series.
I must say that for sure, hands down, that Pemika was the villain of this story as I got so pissed off when I saw her as she was only trying to better the company and did not care for the boys (although it did seem at a time that she did). She is a strong contender for me for villain of the year.
I did enjoy this series while some parts I did not fully believe (these boys are big stars and no one is rushing them when they are walking in the open or sitting down there with no disguises on?!!) or not like (Earn could kick some rocks). All in all, I would recommend this series, especially if you are a fan of idols as they may go through some of the things that Mars did in this series.

1st K drama in a long time that I am disappointed in
When I read reviews, I want to give the series a benefit of the doubt, especially if it has bad ratings. So, thất was the case for this series. But, nah, I agree with the reviews and the low rating for this series. I felt that I took long to finish this series, due to the storyline of it. The twelve episodes felt longer and the only reason that I decided to give this series a go was due to the drama/ movie alphabet challenge as I needed a series that started with the letter Q. In all honesty, I should have watched something else.In these kinds of series, we are supposed to hate the villains- which I did. So, those actors portrayed their characters good, as well as the actress who was the owner of Solution. But for the main characters on the good side, they upset me from the first episode. I felt like I had more commonsense than them and the foolish things that they did. When you feel that they finally got the upper hand in the series, something happened that screws them over and they are back at square one. I just got annoyed over and over again when I was watching them. But in the end, good prevailed, leaving me only grateful that I was able to watch a series for the challenge and with the thought that I am finally done with them.
P.S- they really gave the villains the benefit of the doubt and that's why they were losing so much in the series.
PPS- so, the guy who murdered their first witness (who they told her that they would protect her if she testified?!!) is still out there, huh?

No doubt about it- this series is a hot mess. Yet I was still entertained
Okay, let me start off by saying- I understand why a lot of people don't like this series. Heck, after I watched episode 5, I honestly didn't know what the bejeezus that was. But the last episode- it swayed my mind a bit. Let me also say that I am not saying that this series is one of the best out there (because, it's not). But it was able to keep my attention for the majority of the episodes unlike another series where so far 2 out of 18 was able to keep my attention (cough cough- HIStory5- cough cough).Story- 6/10
Here's the thing- the story is a hot mess. We have 6 episodes to explore three 'couples'. Couples are in quotations because one of them- Matteo and Shokun- are basically the only couple in this whole series. Although I still don't know how long they would last as Matteo just basically gave up a big part of him (BDSM) for his love for Shokun.
We know that King likes Burger as more than friends but Burger likes King as only friends. I honestly don't know what thier end result because of how choppy the final episode was as it was not the uncut version.
Saint and Hida (the step brothers) didn't even really developed as Saint is still with his girlfriend Fern at the end. So...yeah. And Fern and Saint's storyline is just....yeah.
And then Ken and Pimtha...they're just there to be annoying and evil, I guess?
The series is confusing because a lot of people would think that it's a BL- which somehow turned into a mystery (giving off Riverdale Season 1 or PLL vibes). But this is not the case as I did see this statement if it was not in the 0 episode , it was on Reddit that stated that this series is NOT a BL series, but an LGBT+ production...with morecreal life coming of age and sexual exploration story line, and more in a social portray way. With the intention of educating the Thai society about such issues, and of re-opening the debate on sexual education and understanding that started years ago with HORMONES The Series in 2013-2015. Was this executed properly to show this? Honestly, I don't think so. But the mustery part, which I wasn't even invested in when I started this series, is the only reason why I am giving this hot mess of a storyline a 6.
Acting/ Cast-7/10
You know what? I may be in the minority but I found the main actors acting was actually passable for this being thier first roles. So, because of that, I will give them a 7.
Music-7.5/10
While the misic is sounding like a lot of auto-tune was used, I still found it cute and catchy. At the beginning from episodes 2 to 6, I would have actually hummed along with it. As such, I'm giving it a 7.5.
Rewatch Valu- 6/10
Let's be real. It is choppy if you are watching this series and don't have access to the uncut version. The storyline does not flow properly and it has left people hella confused. But all in all, what I was able to understand is what will make me give this a 6.
Overall-6.5/10
Overall I give this series a 6.5. I really won't recommend this series to anyone because as I have stated, it is choppy and does not flow properly which can be peet peeves for people. Also, they might be very dissapointed thinking that it's a BL series and that if not all the majority of the 'couples' end up together. When in fact only one does.
Will I be one of the few to actually want to watch a season 2? Shockingly- yes. I'm not that eager to see it but I do want to see how the story unfolds for the majority of the characters as we the viewers are just left hanging qithout any answers.
P.S.- if they want to continue with this murder mystery tag and want another victim- I day off the teacher/ principal. I don't need that kind of negativity in a series.

My review
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT!!!If oyu are looking for a fluffy, cute BL with kiss and make out scenes and a happy ending- continue looking because this is not it. This has an awesome and developed storyline, outstanding acting and great chemistry between the actors.
I also must start off by saying while I did enjoy this series, in the beginning- I just wasn't all the way in. But as it progressed, I feel for it as it felt real and raw to me.
Story -9.5/10
From how this story started, I felt the three main characters were portrayed in a different light than how they came out in the end. Some for the better and some for the worse.
When seeing Wang around In the first time, I just naturally thought of him as a big flirt. But as the story progressed, Wang showed to be more mature than In and his mom. We saw him start off flirty, then someone in love and finally someone heartbroken because he was willing to fight for his and In's love, but In wasn't.
Am I sad that they didn't end up together? No. Because Wang deserves better. He deserved someone who loves him. Someone who would fight for what they could have. In was clearly not that person.
On first seeing In, I had high hopes. I may not know ehat the story entailed but I just had high hopes. And those hopes came crashing down. Now, while I may get angry at him due to him not being brave enough to say 'I love you ', not once but twice, I can't get as mad as I want with him.
I see him as someone who is afraid of taking that chance for love, because of how he was seeing it as people would get hurt. But when he denies this chance, people still do get hurt. Maybe that's why he moved far away, because he just doesn't want to choose a side as he believes someone will get hurt. He still sucks, but I can't be totally mad at him.
Sasiwimol (Wang's mom). I hated her from the time I saw her. I still do after finishing this series. However, I kind of see where she is coming from. I mean, if you look at it, she was hurt too as her husband loved someone else. And while I may not like her, I am remembering her saying to Wang (not a direct quote) 'Did he say I love you?' Because I feel she knows the kind of individual In is and she knew that he would not be brave enough to say such words to Wang. And who knows? Maybe she is the way that she is because of what life has dealt to her.
Acting-10/10
From the first scene, you can see the difference in thier acting. They were all phenomenal. Even the first meetig between Wang and In was much more intense than any BL's/ K dramas that I have watched. It was just...wow. And what really impressed me is that how this story was told so well with just three actors. They all did a wonderful job.
Music-8/10
The music fit the mood of this series so well.
Rewatch Valu-10/10
Although this ending is not a happily ever after, I will most definitely watch it again. Because that's just how good the storyline is, the actors, the cinematography- just everything.
Overall-9.5/10
Overall I give this series a 9.5/10. It was indeen one hell of a ride as I when I first started this series, the outcome was not what I was expecting- it was way better. Would I recommend this series to others? Most definitely. I would like to end my review with the last words of the final episodes that really broke my heart but made me realize the beauty of this series.
To you who call yourself a parent...
You can only give birth to them but you don't own them.
To you are still young...
You have to bleed first before you learn.
To you who call themselves wise...
Don't let your cowardice get the better of you.

Yes, it's bad. But I have seen worse
I sat down and binge watch this in the space of three days, which is rather quick due tobthe comments that I heard about this series. And yes, I agree that yes it sucked and the plotline is very limited as this series could have easily finish with half of the episodes. But, honestly, the first half actually had a plot (a very weak one) that I was able to watch it so quickly. Episodes 6 to 9 was pointless and from episodes 10 to 12 - was just them having s*x with no storyline whatsoever (it also really did not add anything to the storyline). I also did not go in with high hopes as this is the same people who made 'I Am Your King 2', which is the first and only seires I ever rated 1.5 as it focused more on the actors making out than having a plot (hmmm...sounds familiar).Story-3/10
As I said, the first part had a weak a*s storyline. But it was present. While the latrer was just pointless. As such I give a 3 (4.5 for the first half. 2 for the second. Round it off to a 3.)
Acting/ Cast -4/10
Now, the thing is whilecthe majority of them cannot act to save thier skin, all of the minor actors did a better job than the MC. Thier acting sucked. I mean, thier crying scene in the final episode is still playing in my head as how bad they were. So, just because of the secondary characters, I'm going to give them a 4.
Music-6.5/10
The music, personally for me, was the only good thing for this whole series. It was just beautiful. It's unfortunate that it got saddledcwith this atrocious series.
Rewatch Valu -1/10
While the first part was okay, I'm not going to come back to this series. I don't have the time and patience to sit down and watch this again. I'm giving it a 1.
Overall-3.5/10
Overall I give this series a 3.5. And may I add that the only good thing about this is that Praew started off as a total b@#ch. She left Nine and focused on herself. And because of that, shevis the star player for me in this serles.

Don't judge this series by the first three episodes
When I started this series, I was slightly put off by the first two episodes that I literally stopped watching it. Then I had a lull as the other series that I were watchng were ending. So, I told myself 'Time to resume watching this again.' And, again, I wasn't that impressed qith episode three but I have NDD (no dropping disease) and I continued on. By continuing on...the series improved drastically that I was finally up to date with episodes and eagerly awaiting each week for the remainig ones.Story-8.5/10
I didn't expect it to but the story was beautiful and well told (except for those beginning episodes for me personally). From the main characters to the secondary characters (especially Pu Le Chien's mom!), I feel in love with the uniqueness of the story and while there are some parts that didn't impress me, they are very small. So, for that, I'm giving it an 8.5.
Acting/Cast-9/10
I love everyone's acting so much. They conveyed thier emotions so well and was able to give an excellent and beautiful story. This was done from the main characters to even the secondary characters. As such, I give a 9.
Music-10/10
The music is and will forever be beautiful. I loved listening to it when I watched every episode. I wil truly miss it.
Rewatch Valu -8/10
Because of it's ending, I do see myself watching it again soon. This series was in all honesty, not what I was expecting it to be. And in this case, that's good. Because it exceeded all my expectations.
Overall- 9/10
Overall I give this series a 9. I know that the first few episodes can seem daunting and you maybe considering dropping this series. But please believe me when I say that it does get better and that you should continue watching it. I would most definitely recommend this series.

I was entertained in the beginning qith an anticlimactic ending
It took me three days to binge watch this series. And I am glad I choose to wait until the series ended to watch it all in one go.Story-8.5/10
I actually loved seeing the history of Thailand's law cause I found it knowledgeable and informative. It was nice seeing a storyline that wasn't like the BL's that I am used to. And due to this reason, I can say that this series did indeed start off strong.
However, like most BL's out there, there were flaws that I just couldn't ignore. Some parts of the series just weren't that beliveable to me. And also, some parts weren't developed properly to give the series a satisfying ending. I would like to add that with the strong beginning it had, it ended a bit anticlimactic. I mean, yeah, Black kind of got his revenge and the guys were able to start a wave of the justice that they were fighting for. But still...
P.S- I am in love with the secondary couple Ok and Dan, although my heart broke in the second to last episode for them.
Acting/Cast-9.5/10
I'm going with 9.5 out of 10. Cause while I liked the majority of the actors, I felt that some of the supporting actors really didn't add anything to the story (looking at the parents as well as Todd, who was underdeveloped here).
Music-9.5/10
I was originally going to give an 8. But as the series progressed and new songs were introduced, I fell more in love with them. As such, I'm going with a 9.5.
Rewatch-9/10
It was actually a good series qith a unique storyline that I haven't really seen in BL. Because of that, I really don't mind rewatching it again.
Overall-9/10
Overall I give this series a 9. It was quite entertaining and enjoyable!

In My Heart I will give you a 10. But this is not the case
Where do I begin with this? On learning that a Chinese BL was actually being made, I was so frickin ecstatic. And then it premiered. And I sat down and watched the episodes while they aired and....HUGE dissapointment.Story-5/10
Now because it's a Chinese BL, I had (some) high hopes for this series, as it has been awhile that we were actually given a Chinese BL. And now that it's completed, I realized that I shouldn't have put such hopes on it as it is basically like all the previous Chinese BL that I have watched. And in this day and age, I feel like we have grown past those forms of story telling.
I also felt like I was getting whiplashed with some of the scenes as they were not flowing cohesively. And because of this, the story itself did not flow well for me, making me feel lost and confused when watching it. And then when I watched the final episode...yeah, I got annoyed.
Acting/Cast-6/10
As the storyline didn't flow properly, I felt that thier acting wasn't able to come across as well as it should have. I must say that I did grow to like Yue Yu Zhi's character, eventhough I didn't like him in the beginning. He grew on me.
Music-8/10
The music was by far the best art of this whole series. Loved thevsongs so much!
Rewatch Valu -2/10
Because of the outcome of the story, I honestly do not see myslef coming back to watch this series. Like at all.
Overall-5.5/10
Overall I give this series a 5.5. I wanted to give it more, because it is a Chinese BL and they are so rare and few. But, honestly, this series did not live up to what I expected it to be.

Hey-I'm shocked that I actually enjoyed it!
I have watched four dramas from this company (including this one) and I must say that this series takes the cake! I can safely say that I enjoyed this series the most out of the four. The company, though, needs to find away to get there series to the international fans, cause it's really hard to find subs (except for Love Poison 2 hat was made available with English subs on WETV).Story-8/10
While it was a simple and repetitive story (pretending to be boyfriends), it was still enjoyable. The main coupe were cool. The side couples were awesome. The friends were like the best part adding the majority of the comic relief. The parents/ grandmother was actually bearable (nearly thought that hands needed to be thrown for Ruk's dad). I hated Tunwa so much and was glad with the ending that he did receive (although we don't see it on the screen. but he deserved it!)
Acting/Cast-8.5/10
I am highly impressed with this cast as some of the actors starred in Love Poison 1 and 2 as well as Love at 7-11. Their acting as improved vastly, especially those who starred in Love at 7-11 (I gave them a 5 for their acting). And as such I give them an 8.5/10.
Music-7.5/10
Because I know from the tags that this is a musical, it wasn't as annoying as it was in Love Poison 2 when they burst out singing all the time. And some of the songs were actually quite enjoyable. so for that reason, I give them a 7.5.
Rewatch Valu-8/10
I actually do see myself watching this series again. it was enjoyable and entertaining. Plus, I really liked the best friends antics.
Overall-8/10
This is the highest that I have given to this company to any of their series. I truly did enjoy it and was glad that I binge watched this over a few days. The comments section for once did not lead me astray.

A surprisingly good ending to a very draggy series
I had placed this series on hold at the end of watching episode sixteen due to the fact that I was getting annoyed with everything- the storyline, the acting- EVERYTHING! So, I watched the remaining four episodes and have now completed this series. And I must say...I was somewhat pleasantly satisfied with the final two episodes of this series.Story- 6.5/10
I was originally going to give this a 5 due to the fact that after the ML and FL lead got together (which I think is between episode 7 to 10), the story went downhill for me. However, the last two episodes had me in my feelings and actually crying as the story progressed. So, due to that, I am going to give this series a 6.5.
Acting-7/10
I originally hated all of the actors acting, except for the one who plays Ouuyang Kai. He was the only reason why I stayed with this series as his character went thorugh a change for the better. And then especially at the ending where he gave up his life for En Shi (who, by the way annoyed the hell out of me during this whole series, except for the remainig three episodes). However, nearly everyone's acting improved for me in the final three episodes, except for who playdd Lu Bo Ya. Yeah, that character was annoying me so much that I actually think I may have enjoyed the series better if they did a better job with thier big bad.
Music-7.5/10
The music was beautiful.
Rewatch Valu-5.5/10
Here's the thing, if I take out the unnecessary episodes from when the ML and FL got together to when they knew who was behind all the drama, I believe this series may have been better. Due to that, I'm not that eager to rewatch this series so quickly.
Overall-6.5/10
Well, what can I say? What I liked about this series can't really help me score it higher than a 6.5. I would only recommend this series to someone if they literally have nothing to watch and they want to kill time in between something that they want to watch.

Beautiful series
The first time I saw YT recommend this series, I didn't pay attention to it. But then I saw people here talking about it and that got me curious about GameBoys that I decided to give it a go. And I must say...I am glad that I did as it did not dissapoint it!Story-10/10
With the simple story of two boys meeting online as Gav beat Cario to evolve into them falling in love with one another (Gav had a crush on Cario) to them dealing with jealous ex-boyfriend's, the death of Cario's dad, meeting each other for the first time, jealousy and abandonment issues- these boys went through all of this and set in the background of COVID-19. They had me crying for them during thier pains, trying to be like Pearl telling them 'get back together, you knuckle heads!' And just seeing how everything played out. And it was done beautifully and realistically.
Also, I would like to add, I felt the kiss here more than in a recent Thai BL that finished this Friday, cause it was a part of thier story- not something just added to apparently appease fans who were furious from the first season due to the lack of kisses.
Acing/Cast- 10/10
All of the actors were phenomenal. Even Terrence and Wesley, who I have a small hatred for cause of them destroying the happiness of my boys. Cario's mom and brother were a breath of fresh air, as they understood what he was going through. I am so grateful in having such positive family members in a BL series, cause some Thai series don't have this and it annoys me.
I LOVED Peral! In the beginning when we are introduced to her, I must say I didn't fascinate her. But as the series progressed, for me she was like us fans, trying to get Gav and Cario together, because you know how much they care for eachother. And in the final episode when Wesley and Terrence were flirting, her reaction was exactly my reaction!
The actors who played Gav and Cario did a fantastic job and I hope that they get more roles in the Philippines.
Music-10/10
The music is top notch that it has me signing along with it!
Rewatch Value-10/10
Although this show made me cry a lot, I would watch it again and cry some more. Everything about this series was perfect that I actually feel to binge watch it very soon.
Overall-10/10
This is the first series that I would recommend to anyone who wants to watch a BL series, even overtaking SOTUS. I love this series so much that I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.
