Me, too. I had to go look this up.

I'm not super picky, but if there's anything that kills a boyslove series for me, it's not being able to buy the romantic relationship. And that's what happened here. I watched it, but my rating for it is lower than I would normally give a show that wasn't just flat-out a piece of crap.

This (the last thing you mention) is what puzzles me so much about bl's, at least Thai bl's. That they have actors (sometimes) who are inexplicably hired and put in a couple even though they come off as very straight and can't kiss their partner without looking like they're doing it on a dare. It's like the producers are determined to make these stories no matter what and don't even try to make the scenes better. Or else they do try and this is the best that can come of it. It seems to be more about the actors than about the production.

I agree. Chimon is adorable, but he fell short in emotional scenes and failed at romantic ones.

Yes, I just finished it and rated it 5.5. Although it started off well, I couldn't buy their relationship due to Chimon's inability to act like he wants to kiss his boyfriend. As I said in my comment, it would have been better if they two of them had more of a bromance, remaining strong, supportive friends until the end, and that kiss out by the windmills be their first one (with no attempt at a sexy scene at the end.) Every time they kissed I wanted to either laugh because it was so unbelievable or cry because I want them to work as a couple but they don't.

Who is in Pit Babe? I don't think I've heard of that one. I am really looking forward to Middleman's Love.

I don't think that had anything to do with it because he didn't have them on in the other tub scene, but his inability to play gay convincingly ruined this show.

Yeah, Kang gave off some weird vibes during that time. I know he was probably torn between loyalty to his family and his feelings for Sailom, but he was such an ass. Couples with Chimon's inability to kiss, it just ruined it for me.

This had a pretty good plot, but, in my opinion, this would have done better as a sweet romance with the couple only going from friends to lovers at the end. The reason is that--again in my opinion--while Perth and Chimon have great friend vibes and even great UST, their actual loves scenes are not good. Since we know Perth can do excellent love scenes, this is a problem with Chimon. He looks like he has his mouth firmly glued shut and would rather be doing just about anything else when he kisses. It doesn't happen often that I want to skip loves scenes while watching a bl.

Seems like Top wanted Mew to look better and now doesn't anymore because Mew is too attractive. Maybe he wants to control Mew. This was the only thing that intrigued me about the ending...if they have a season 2 and Mix's character is interesting in Mew, I am there. just to hope he leaves Top.

Side note: It really bugged me when Top encouraged Mew to get eye surgery. Seemed like it didn't come from the right place.

Not going to argue, since I'm not a big Top fan anyway. Just trying to reason out the difference in Mew's eyes. And I don't think Mew and Ton had the friendship Mew thought they did. Ton didn't value his friends. I agree he should have kicked Top to the curb.

Try You are Mine. Soooo cute. I'm loving it so much.

I was disturbed by the Sand/Top kiss. So weird. Same with Ray getting Sand to kiss Boeing. Another thing I thought was weird and unsettling was all the onscreen sex was at the beginning. I mean, I get that we don't have to see every single sex scene, but it was so obviously to get people watching. Then to have it disappear seemed odd. I thought for a minute that ForceBook were going to have a hot scene there at the end, and the abrupt switch to the afterglow was startling.

Boeing should have kissed Nick--then he would have kissed all the guys, lol.

He appeared to be looking at Mew, didn't he?

Well, we didn't see it, but we know that he took Sand's bf from him. And we know he'd slept with Ton before and there was that guy in the bar and I think someone else they ran into.

I agree--if Top has changed, why wouldn't he want to apologize? I also didn't really like that truth or dare scene. Kissing Top wasn't exactly great revenge for Sand, imo.

The difference may lie in the fact that Mew and Top's relationship was so new when it happened--and that Top had been mislead by Ton. As well as the fact that Top managed to prove himself to Mew, and that Mew was still in love with Top. (I don't think they should have moved in together so fast.) Ton was supposed to be Mew's friend. He wasn't in love with Top, yet he went for him even though he knew Mew liked him and was with him. He was playing games and just didn't care about other people's feelings, and Mew, I feel, was both hurt and disgusted by that. He doesn't see Ton changing, and, to be honest, Ton isn't changing. Just realizing he's lonely and shouldn't have been such a dick to his friends and to Nick isn't enough for Mew to want to keep that toxicity in his life.

I was happy with Ton's ending. I don't think it would have been believable for him to have changed. I almost didn't believe what did happen, to be honest. I could imagine him growing up after living five or ten years in New York, then coming back, but by then Nick should have someone good and NOT cheat on them with Ton.
Top didn't deserve to get Mew back, but Force made it believable enough. And I don't think Top was as wrong as Ton was in the situation when all was said and done. The saddest thing for me in the ending was that Ton realized the worth of his friendship with Mew too late.
Sand and Ray, although cute, were kind of boring, imo, at least by the ending, like you said.
Wonder what happened to Atom? Maybe he will play a bigger part in season 2.
