The thing is: Fighter and Tutor story is far more character driven than plot driven. We have simple plot and thanks to that we can focus on development of the characters and relationship between them. There is nothing wrong with that. I loved the fact I could focus on who the characters are and not try to keep up with some ridiculous over the top plot.

actually the reviews are sorted by most helpful to least helpful. Rarely ever the "ongoing" review stays even close to the top longer than maybe 3 hours after the drama finishes airing.

As for the good and bad points: I guess it always depends on the reviewer and their priorities. A good practice I guess would be to read one review with high rating and one with low rating, to compare the points. Especially since exactly the same thing can be pros and cons depending on the person (like for example: slow pace. Someone could write about it as an asset, other person can drag the drama because of it).

At the end of the day it's impossible to be objective writing reviews. We can try, but still taking into consideration different priorities, experiences and personalities, the bias will show.

They didnt audition for these specific roles, but they did audition overall. Bright was suppose to be Tine and Win was suppose to be Wat.

The writing became a mess from the moment they became a couple. Like Tine being shy about kiss on the cheek but not all the cuddling and sleeping in the same bed. I get that.
The show would be much better if they dive deep into Tine's insecurity and not create some "ex-first love" drama.
That said, I still find Tine as one of the more interesting and realistic BL characters out there. I find his insecurity so "refreshing". Coz it;s not just about him being shy and prude. It goes much deeper. That's why I don't mind almost nothing happening between Wat and Tine even tho they started dating.
What annoys me tho, is that they hint some stuff might happen (like taking shower together), but they never really clarify anything. The writing became a mess, but I believe it hit Wat way worse than Tine...

That's the flaw in writing, I agree. That said, I don't mind him being shy till the end and the only thing we get is the shy kiss. It's not the first romance show that concludes on that. I rather take close to now "character growth" of Tine over 180 they did in ep12 with Wat tbh.

Being insecure means you fear confrontation and you fear showing your feelings. So saying: he should just discuss is quite ridiculous. Just discussing your problems and fears is something a confident person does.
What more does he want? I don't know? Maybe for Wat to introduce him as his boyfriend to a person he feels threaten about? He is around 18. He is a teenager. 90% of people at that age have no idea what they want at that age.
And Tine did tell Wat about how insecure he feels about Pam and that she is Wat's first love. Wat should right then clear the situation and make sure Pam knows Tine is his boyfriend, and that Tine knows Pam knows.
If he decide to ask out a person with such a confidence deficiency as Tine, you have no right to then complain about them being insecure. As I said, Wat knew what he is getting into. It was Wat that went after Tine for a serious romantic relationship, not another way round. If it was Tine pursuing Wat but then acting cold and distance when they get together, it would be a whole different situation. r

Tine is EXTREMELY self conscious and insecure. Wat knows what he was getting into. Tine rather takes things slow and is scared of being in a relationship. He likes Wat but he is scared of his own feelings. I actually love Tine and what they are doing with his character. He was never taken care of nor loved by his partners (as we saw in episode one). He was always the one giving his whole in a relationship. So now that Wat is the one taking care and leading, Tine is lost and scared coz he is not use to this behavior. He was never the one being chased and fought over so him not exactly knowing how to react and wanting to slow down makes perfect sense.
I think you are being slightly too harsh on Tine here.
"if my boyfriend pushed me with his hand on my chest when I want to kiss him, I would be really hurt" < I wouldn't feel hurt but rather concern and ask what happened and what is going on. I wouldn't just assume my boyfriend doesn't want to kiss me or doesn't love me. I would try to talk to them. If they want to take it slow: so be it. I would slow down.
Wat had a year of confirming his feelings for Tine and making sure what he feels is strong and real. He feels secure in a situation he is in. For Tine this whole arrangement is new and foreign. Not everyone can jump into relationship and right away act like lovey dovey couple with all the skinship. Some need more time.

it's all about what was more important to Wat: making sure Tine will not get hurt, making sure Pam will not get hurt. Not being straightforward with Pam means risking hurting Tine. At the end of the day, for me, Wat picked Pam's feelings over Tine's and I don't like it.

Also with the timeline, it's not like Tine and Wat just started dating. It's been weeks. And they live together. Why is everyone trying to explain his out of character behavior in episode 12 with "Wat was confused coz this is his first relationship".

Also, Wat told Tine truth ONLY AFTER Tine asked about it. It's not like Pam showed up, and Wat right away took Tine on the side and explained what is going on. He kept Tine in the dark until it all blew up itself.

"Yes he should told her about Tine" that's it. No buts. If he didn't know about her feelings, no reason not to right away introduce Tine as his boyfriend since up till now Wat was telling everyone about it. It was not a secret. He wanted EVERYONE to know he is dating Tine. Except this one time.
IF he knew she might have feelings for him: more reasons to clear the situation right away: Tine would feel better knowing Wat is being honest and straightforward and the situation is clear, and Wat wouldn't be giving her false hopes.

The fact he didn't introduce Tine as his boyfriend simply makes no sense. If he did it right away, all of that mess would never happen.

I love how you pick this definition out of all the ones they gave. This was the only one that mentioned the good qualities.
There is also difference between literary criticism (which is often used simply instead of "literary analysis") and "just" criticism and this is probably where our disagreement comes from.
Coz you talked about the use of word criticism in "literary" (art) area, when I was talking about the more broad meaning. And it's not exactly the same.
If you check other definitions on other websites too, the good qualities are mention in a connotation with "literary criticism" but not necessarily with any other "meaning".

Also, I myself don't see pointing out negatives as something bad as long as it phrased in a right away and explained. Especially if we talk about a short form of giving your opinions like comments. If someone doesn't want to write a whole essay about good and bad points, it makes far more sense to explain what they have problem with rather than praise the good aspects.

I wasn't crazy about episode 10 and 11, because they felt like a filler ones, but I still enjoyed them for the comedy and the cute scenes. But can anyone explain to be what happened in episode 12? Did writers just forget everything that happened so far?

The 180 they did on Wat was ridiculous. Up till now he told everyone he could how Tine is his boyfriend, never shy about it. He literally asked him out if front of so many people during the concert. And now he didn't introduce Tine as his boyfriend to Pam? Why? Makes no sense.
How he was close to punching Mil for even patting Tine on the head, but didn't push away Pam when she hugged him? Why? Makes no sense. He was shown as someone rather distant and not to do/like skinship unless with the person he loves.
How up till now he was extremely caring and observant about Tine's moods. How he always asked and made sure Tine feels fine and assured him so he won't over analyze anything. Now? Tine be listening music whole night and crying, and Wat just turns his back and goes to sleep. And sure, if he fell asleep and didn't know what was happening to Tine I would be fine, but Wat brought the whole: "you didn't sleep and were listening to music" himself. It just makes close to zero sense. That he wouldn't try to figure out more what's going on, or even assure him with some words without getting a full picture of what Tine's thinking, or just hugging/cuddling with him.

The whole ep was extremely ooc for Wat and I'm quite annoyed coz it's obvious they did it just to create last minute drama, which was simply not necessary.

criticism is negative, it;s about pointing out the flaws.
saying something positive is complimenting.
Giving criticism it's good to incorporate some positives aspects too, or ways to improve the negatives, but still criticism is pointing out flaws not good points.

that's called lazy writing: when you do 180 on a character in the last episodes just to create artificial drama.
Wat in ep12 was literally completely different person compared to previous episodes.

if you planning to watch both: Tossara.
But overall you don't need to watch Tossara to understand this one.

One of the reasons I loved Fightor since the beginning was Tutor's reaction to Fighter's teasing. He never just took it, he always argued back. It created awesome dynamic between them. I loved the "power struggle" they had. It was awesome to watch.
Fighter was as whipped as a dude can get hahaha

It was 100% mess, but such a lovable mess. I guess I was just way too invested in Fighter and Tutor's character, that's why my rating it so amazingly biased.
My brain says: mess, but my heart says: I love it. hahaha

no problem, I literally live on this website :D

I have watched ALL episodes from original links on Line TV :)

well... my sister bi. my dad not exactly on board but we ignore him and ma mom fine with everything.
Also, the fuck would I ever allow my sister near my phone hahaha

I NEVER even have a password on my phone. I truly relate to Tor.

I don't have it. I haven't read it myself... I was stating what I heard from others, but I guess they were wrong too.
