Not Special, But Somehow Stole My Heart
I started this series after Me and Thee purely because I wanted to see PondPhuwin’s chemistry here. Funny enough, this is actually the only PondPhuwin series I skipped before lol. I randomly clicked it on some random Saturday and honestly, it’s not some mind-blowing, life-changing show, but it’s the perfect mealtime watch. Comfort, easy, never boring.
This series is very much about love and friendship. Romance is there, yes, but the friendships are just as important, and that’s what makes it charming. I think this might be GMMTV’s first BL with four pairs, which felt pretty fresh. That said, I do think the pacing could’ve been better. If they trimmed it down to around 12 or 13 episodes, the story would feel tighter. Because there are so many episodes, we get a lot of kissing and love scenes… like, I’m not complaining but some of them could’ve been cut down a bit lol 😂
Things I realized while watching:
1) I could NEVER survive a situationship like PhumPeem. Nope. After the first kiss, I’d be like “okay so what are we” immediately. I don’t have the patience for that emotional limbo.
2) At first, I kinda cringed at Toey (Satang) because the last series I watched him in was My School President, where he was all cool and nonchalant. Toey here is the total opposite, super childish. But after a while, I got used to it, and honestly, this just proves how good Satang is. He made me completely forget his previous role. As for Winny, his character feels pretty similar to what he’s done before. I’m not super into QToey as a pair, but THEIR OST??? Insane. Every time the bgm comes on, I’m instantly smiling and blushing. It’s way too sweet.
3) MY PRECIOUS TANFANG 🩷 I came for PondPhuwin but stayed for AouBoom. I genuinely didn’t expect their chemistry to hit this hard. Their characters are adorable, their scenes feel so natural, and I always find myself waiting for them. They make me smile like an idiot. I couldn’t move on from them, so of course I went and searched for their parts in the novel (yes, I’m obsessed). TanFang feels very close to AouBoom’s real-life dynamic. If you’ve read the novel, you know how big and romantic Tan’s love for Fang is, and Aou portrayed that perfectly on screen.
4) ChainPun is peak slow-burn, friends-to-lovers. No big drama, just quiet feelings growing between people who already care about each other. Simple, soft, and honestly my kind of trope. I pray for this kind of love someday, right after TanFang lol.
Overall, the series is really nothing special, but somehow it still charms my heart and makes me soft for their story and friendship.
