OKAYYYYY LISTEN. I took almost A YEAR off BL. A WHOLE YEAR. I was minding my business, touching grass (barely), healing, whatever. AND THEN Ossan’s Love Thailand CAME IN LIKE “MISS ME?” AND I WAS LIKE "OH I’M BACK, BITCHES. FULL FORCE."

When I first watched the trailer, my brain already went yeah… this gonna eat. And did it disappoint me? HELL NAWWWWWW. Earth in this role????? EXCUSE ME???? This is NOT the Earth I’m used to. I usually bark for Mix, that’s my man, but THIS TIME?? EARTH SAID “LET ME COOK.” He’s soft. He’s fluffy. He’s pathetic in a cute way. He’s giving “I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m trying 🥺”. And somehow… I FELL. HARD.

Also let it be known: I HATE FLUFF. My horny ass skips fluff religiously. And yet here I was… watching EVERYTHING NO SKIPPING. That’s how you KNOW it’s serious.

Alright. Let’s break this mess down.

__________________________________________________________

a) CHARACTERS

- Heng ( played by Earth)

Let me be real. I HATED HIM AT FIRST. Like genuinely. This man invites drama into his life like it’s a hobby. Everything that went wrong could’ve been solved with ONE WORD: NO. Just say no. Please. I’m begging.

Kongdech confesses to him and Heng just stands there like 🧍‍♂️. Not rejecting. Not accepting. Just… existing. Sir. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? Supposedly a top but emotionally moving like a confused bottom with no spine. Then he AGREES TO MARRY HIS BOSS because he’s sad about Mo and I had to pause like… GIRL ARE YOU OKAY??? BUT. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT. Once he starts living with Mo, the development ACTUALLY HITS. He matures. He becomes more independent (a little… he’s still clingy and kinda gross sometimes but okay). And I loved that his sexuality wasn’t a whole dramatic crisis arc. He just goes “I like this person” and that’s it. Gender? WHO???

NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT EARTH BEING CUTE. Because I was NOT READY. I like him HARD. DOMINANT. SERIOUS. But here??? He’s fluffy??? Soft??? SMILING??? I wanted to squish his face like a stress ball. And then when he suddenly switches into serious mode right before kissing Mo??? BRO. CLAIM HIM. BITE HIM. DO SOMETHING.

AND THAT SCENE WHERE HE BEGS MO NOT TO LEAVE. YALL. He gets hurt, rubs his cheek all sad and small, and I was DONE. Crying. Screaming. Protecting him with my life. DO NOT TOUCH MY HENG EVER AGAIN.

Annoying start. Solid growth. I forgive him. Mostly.


- Mo ( played by Mix)

This one hurts because I EXPECTED MORE. He started strong. Confident. Knows what he wants. Persistent. Smart. Rational. POWER BOTTOM ENERGY LOADING. And then… it just disappeared??? Every inconvenience and suddenly he’s overthinking, self-sacrificing, playing the victim. Heng’s mom doesn’t know they’re dating and Mo goes “let’s break up to protect you” and I was like… WHO ASKED??? Because it was NOT Heng.

Instead of developing, his character kinda went downhill. BUT I’ll give him this: his ego isn’t huge. When he realises he can’t live without Heng, he actually goes back and confesses properly. Points for emotional honesty. Still. I wanted him more cunty. More persistent. More fight. You’re competing with the BOSS OF THE COMPANY and THIS is the energy??? He’s stuck between MID and GAH DAMN FINE.


- Kongdech / Boss ( played by Krit)

UNEXPECTED KING. Yes, he annoyed me at first because I was rooting for HengMo, but WOW did he grow on me. Best character development in the entire series, NO DEBATE. He’s unintentionally hilarious. I had to pause multiple times because I was laughing too hard. Big manly body, soft lover boy heart. AND THE BIGGEST GREEN FLAG: he NEVER abused his power. Never separated Heng and Mo at work. Never played dirty. He fought FAIR. And then he becomes the matchmaker at the end??? I was like PAIR THIS MAN UP RIGHT NOW. HE DESERVES LOVE TOO.

b) PLOT

Plot-wise? Actually decent. The pacing is fine. Not dragging, not rushing. It works. It starts with Kongdech confessing after Heng sees HIS OWN FACE as the wallpaper. INSANE BEHAVIOUR. Iconic though. Mo sees this and decides to confess… IN THE SHOWER. WHICH LEADS TO A KISS. A HOT ONE. AND THEN? Welp. That’s basically all the steam we get. PAIN. SORROW. DEVASTATION. But fine. The show leans heavy on comedy and fluff, and the kisses still carry enough tension to keep me alive.

Mo vs Kongdech competing for Heng? INTERESTING BUT UNDERUSED. I wanted more rivalry. More chaos. More petty nonsense. Instead, the plot focuses on Heng realising his feelings, dating Mo, breaking up, preparing to marry Kongdech, cancelling the wedding, then getting back with Mo. I had multiple “HUH???” moments but emotionally it still landed. BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT PISSED ME OFF. There is NO PROPER CLOSURE WITH HENG’S MOM. We NEVER actually see Heng telling her Mo is his boyfriend. I get it, she’s travelling, but HELLO??? Your son is getting MARRIED and you’re just… gone??? MIA??? GET A GRIP MOM.

Side pairings were weak. Newyear and Chicha had NO SCREEN TIME. No wonder she barely remembers him. Ten deserved closure. Ten deserved love. Kongdech deserved love too but Heng and Mo filled that… hole. Interpret that however you want 👅 Ending was predictable but it’s a comedy. We knew.

c) OST

OST SLAPS. Fun. Lively. Lowkey trot vibes but it WORKS. No skips.

d) OVERALL

If you’re here for steam, LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS IMMEDIATELY. It does not exist. But if you want something light, funny, fluffy, and genuinely enjoyable? This series DELIVERS. Perfect show to drag me back into BL. Easy watch. Not emotionally heavy. Made my cheeks hurt from smiling. Again, I want to highlight that I don’t rewatch unless a series rewires my brain chemistry, so I won’t rewatch this—but the WATCH VALUE? HIGH.

9/10.
Fun. Cute. Chaotic. Worth your time.
