NOT FOR COLD BLOODED HEART

This series is the perfect example of kdrama series. They have the heart throbbing scene and the plot is interesting since it involve supernatural as well. I did read the manhwa but I dropped it because it is too boring but this SERIES!!! Miss gurl- Its just a simple BL manhwa that potrays excellent innocent and pure relationship between two men that was suppose to be together in their past life.

I know that some of the viewers will say they dont understand the ending and thats only because they need much straight forward answer but for me, I understand them perfectly. Life is unfair. So when Youdam request God to save Seolbaek in exchange of their memories, it was granted but Seolbaek can remember him. So at the end of the series, its Seolbaek’s turn to pursue Youdam this time.

To be honest I could understand the series easily but i dont understand why the others say the ending is unclear. Anyway, I just wish the kiss scene would look more passionate during the time they agreed to date each other and the runtime really pissed me off but the plot doesnt look rushed at all. They were pretty chill but I think if the runtime is longer, the story would have been better.

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF TOXIC LOVE

Okay I know that some of the viewers will say 'STOP ROMANTICIZING RAPE', this story is not about they romanticizing rape. It is about a toxic love where it started with rape and soon they overcome their own trauma and ended up in love with each other and during their 3 years love, even the smallest little thing could lead into a huge argument yet they couldn't help but to be with each other.

Day is toxic because he groom Itt to be hopeless and not sure what to do in life without Day's help and Itt is toxic because of how stupid he could get because of a cake and he is really stubborn. Both of them have their own toxic trait and yes, there is a huge character development throughout the series. Though, I need to complain that WHY THE FUCK IS FRANK WEARING A WIG????????? Like i really cannot unsee it. My god.

But honestly, I am a skipper but this series makes me watch from the start until the end and IT IS A GOOD SERIES. The plot is not the problem here but I think Frank's acting is a little bit stiff and he need slight improvement in it but DARLING..... LONG'S ACTING IS DAYMMMMMMMMMNNNNN. I AM NOT SURE WHY I HATE HIM PREVIOUSLY??????? He is so cool and charming!! Like damn i could watch his fighting scene for hours and I will still fall for him. DAMN LIKE OH GOD HE IS SO COOL I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING. His acting alone could make me watch this series all over again.

Frank's acting is.. hm... very doubtful. He seems to be stiff in certain part and his eyes looks empty, not enough emotion. Though, he is doing alright for this heavy series, I wish he could just give more commitment in this. And also I think its because of Itt's character that could become one of the challenge.

Now please excuse me while I go stalk Long's IG and the previous drama he acted in. LOL.


PLEASE DONT WATCH IT IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR SOME HEAVY TOXIC SERIES cause I am tired of people complaining about this series.

SLOW BURN AND SLOWLY KILLING ME

Hm… i have watched MeenPring series which is MDGO before and it was alright and I thought this series could do them justice but MY GOD!!! This series is boring. I am sorry but the series have good actors but plain and bland plot. No heartthrobbing scenes much and sex scenes are okay not the best but it was alright. This series could end within 8 episodes but I dont know what is going on with the unecessary lovey dovey scene without purposes???

The conflict between Ai and his mother is not resolved too. Just hanging on a thread without any closure. Boring. I dont know why but MeenPring always got the most boring series. The pattern of their series are the same. It was good but not good enough for 12 episodes long. Could have just shorten it to 8 episodes. Cause after episode 8, i started to yawn and its getting boring.


In a nutshell? Good actor, boring plot, no character development, no plot development, unecessary lovey dovey scenes, side pairing development sucks and no closure plot.

SOME ARE GOOD AND SOME ARE NOT

I am just glad that I decided to watch this. This series is not really all bad. Basically, all love story have different plot and meaning following 7 friends with the name matches the day. First of all, Tue x Ake is bullshit story. The acting is stiff and so wrong. I just don't feel it in them. It just feel blank. Pretty much wanna drop the series because of them but then, the second story, Sun x Nuea is ABSOLUTE LOVEEEE. Okay so I watch Cutie Pie series first than this so when I saw them, I was like "THEY LOOK SO FAMILIAR." Anyhow, the duality of the character is so cute! Playful x Uptight couple is absolute love!!! I just love how Max potrays Sun as someone that have been denying his feelings yet he ended up acknowledging them anyway. Nat's acting is slightly stiff but still good! Their acting literally save the series.

Next, Mon X Team is just... cringe. But good love story though. I mean Mon is basically was trick into sleeping with Team since Team is a scorer so basically after they sleep together, Team sort of had feelings for Mon and change his playboy life into fully dating Mon. Mon is cute but CRINGE AS FUCK! I just.. ugh ew. Nah. Thurs x Pao's story is short , rushed and lack of something but I could not put my finger on it. I am unsure what but it's just blergh. I skipped a lot of part since it is boring. After that, Puth X Kaeng. OH. MY. GOD. I LOVE THEM! Puth is absolute strange character but the acting is perfect. FWB kind of story but when the other's wants more than just sex, what will happen? It feels slight rush too but still love them. I really want to punch Puth's face for like ignioring Kaeng in the car. like how can u be so cold to ignore someone that is crying? Kaeng is so cute when he cry and looks so sincere too lol

I don't want to talk about Masuk x Jia . Their acting is... god. Lay's acting is so much sincere and comparing to Yoon's looks slight amateur and stiff. Really dont even bother to watch it BUT! Sat X Choke. HOW CUTE CAN THEY GET??!!!! OH MY GAD. This story is absolutely different and interesting. It shows how Sat was given second chance to fix his relationship with Choke. UGH THEY ARE SO CUTE!! THEIR ENGLISH IS CUTE TOOO!!! MY GOD! I really hope they are given another main series. LOVE THEM. Overall, 7.5/10. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Could have been better

Let me just start by the acting and the casting for this series. Honestly, I love Sejin's acting even when he stars in Mr Heart series. His acting is good though I feel if he polish and go to acting class, he could be the next top actor. I love the way his eyes just stares into his co-star's eyes but his eyes filled with emotion. Sejin's feels and letting his role takes over his body really AMAZED me. I never follow BL K-drama that much but his acting is something else. On the other hand, Insoo's acting is alright but there's no rush and patience. Like he doesn't portray the rushness of Hosun's character when he is being split between his sister or his wife. 'Blank' is written all over his face and I couldn't feel much chemistry between them but Sejin make it up for them so it doesn't look too obvious. Can we normalize hiring actors with good potential? Like this is not the first time and I feel so disappointed that this has happened. Anyhow, love Sejin's acting.

The plot somehow have a lot potential to grow and to expand but too short for 8 episodes. The closure is alright since we all seen it coming for both of them that they will be together. I still feel it such a waste for the director for doing 8 episodes with 12 minutes per episode. It would have been better if it shows their daily struggle of how to keep the secret and day by day, they soon to realized that they love each other more than just an arranged marriage. Ah. What a waste. But still good plot and storyline though.

Overall, 7/10 . I still feel they should extend the episodes or maybe the length of each episode cause this is too short, too rushed and slightly amateur but still a good one. Looking forward in watching more series and movies from Sejin. <3

CRINGE PLOT AND AMATEUR ACTORS

Honestly, I only watch this series for Kit and Mark. Their actings are amazing and their chemistry really makes my heart jumps out of its place. They are so adorable and the fact that they have steamy scene in this series is 🥹 Anyway, I skip a lot of other pairings part cause it is so cringe and their acting really says “Amateurs”. I hate those actors as their acting are sucks and stiff. There’s a huge difference between Copter, Kim and Bas’s acting and the other actors. It literally screams stiff and amateur.

Lets talk about the plot, the plot honestly is shitty as fuck. The issue is not that serious and it is much less interesting than S1. I don’t care about other pairings except for Kit and Mark which is quite a small issue but because of both their ego, it has become huge. I can sense that Mark is not that serious about the issue and I feel like the tears are fake cause its not even a huge issue. Wayo and Thanu on the other hand, what can I say about this couple… I hate them actually like its so cringe and the fact that their romance plot is going round and round and that’s it. They shouldn’t bring Pha in the series at all like for fuck sake! I literally sighs out loud when they make Pha’s character dead like??????? Wtf and the fact that wayo just moved on after Pha died like huh???? Shitty plot honestly.

Like I said earlier, I just watch for Copter and Kim and I just hate other couples. Overall, 5/10 and all 5 points goes to Copter and Kim only.

BEAUTIFUL CINEMATOGRAPHY!!

I have to say that its been a while since i watch BL lakorn and I am glad that I chose this lakorn to watch after long time. Its my first time watching Zee’s acting and honestly, I am head over heels with him. Dont get me wrong but Mew kinda looks like Gun. Okay next thing we are going to talk is the plot.

The plot is interesting but somehow for me the issue of the couple doesn’t really that important. I mean they just need to communicate with each other. The issue is not really serious and honestly, i just love the cinematography of this series. Its not cliché and not cringe and i love the way they capture every scene. It opens a new point of view for me cause most of the BL lakorn have a lousy and cringe cinematography. This one is something new and i love it!

I don’t have much complain and i love the Steamy scenes as well. Looks so intimate and i AM IN LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Overall, 9/10! Lost one point due to the plot being not that interesting. But still a good watch. But I probably won’t re-watch them. Got a little bit bored.

Absolutely love it! This is perfect! The story line stays exactly how it started except when it develops the love between Phana and Wayo. I love it when Phana teases Wayo and he just turns shy. GOD DAMN IT!! This is the perfect story for a nerd guy that have a crush on the hottest guy in the campus. The umbrella scene is to die for!! Seriously, if you are watching this in public, please control your voice because you will scream so loud. I like it when Phana becomes jealous too. It shows that the top could get jealous too!

For side pairing. MUAHAHAHAHA. Ming & Kit. Ah. Love-Hate Relationship. I love it. Ming is more like bubbly and friendly guy and Kit could be very playful but he turns serious when Ming wants to date him and that's what make its even cuter.

Overall, The first series that i watch before jump into Fujoshi fandom is SOTUS but now i recommend if you are still new, you need to watch SOTUS, 2MOONS & Love By Chance. These 3 series are going to give you a heart attack. Trust me!

MORE LIKE HEART THAT SKIPS A FEW MINUTES 'CAUSE I WATCHED IT AT 1.5X SPEED

Okay, so I finished this series in like, what? FOUR DAYS?? And that’s me zooming at full 1.5x speed like I'm in Fast & Furious: BL Edition. 'Cause let’s be real, these characters be moving like we got all the time in the world. Babe, I do NOT. The moment I found out they were doing a series together, I had a whole Meh. reaction. Like, okay Est is cute and all, but lead material? IDK, bro. Feels like they picked him ‘cause no one else was free that day. And William? WHO??? Had to Google this man. Then I saw he’s from LYKN, so I was like, “Aight, maybe he’s special or whatever.” But did I even watch the trailer? HELL NO. Didn’t even click it. I was out here like, “Aight, another GMMTV fluff-fest, who cares.” But then my BL inner saboteur whispered, “What if it's actually good?” So I caved. And here we are.

Now, I got two VERY DIFFERENT opinions about this show, so let's get into it.

________________________________________________________________

1. Plot

So we start with Po getting played by his ex, Earn, who basically jacked his ideas, and babe, the BETRAYAL was real. Homeboy got dumped, scammed, and humiliated, all before the opening credits. Then, Po lands a job as a videographer for this MARS documentary (aka, the most disorganized K-pop wannabe boyband I’ve ever seen), and BOOM. He catches feelings for Thame, the main vocalist. Classic workplace romance, but make it trauma bonding. And then we find out MARS is basically on life support, about to disband, and Po’s out here acting like the Dr. Strange of music careers, tryna fix shit that ain’t even his business.

At first, I was kinda into it. Like, “Okay, cute, lil office romance mixed with boyband politics, we EATIN’.” But then… the pacing, BABY. I’m talking snail-on-a-bath-salt-high level slow. They hit us with conflict after conflict, but instead of shaking me to my core, I was just sitting there like, “So is something actually gonna happen or nah?”

Then comes EP 2, and this is where my left eyebrow started twitching. Thame suddenly drops the “I’m leaving for Korea” bomb, and I was like, “Sir, you just got here.” And I won’t lie, I was worried they were gonna drag this out into an unbearable mess, but surprise, they kinda handled it well. A lil dry, but well. HOWEVER. Let’s address the elephant in the room: the plot was giving real-life LYKN shade. LIKE. Did no one on the production team think, “Hmm, maybe having William’s character ditch his group isn’t the best look considering he's ACTUALLY in a boyband?” 💀💀💀 The way Dylan wrote ‘Thame and friends’ instead of ‘MARS’?? GIVING CHA EUN WOO AND ASTRO REALNESS, I NEARLY CHOKED.

And then, the biggest betrayal of the century: PEPPER. PEPPER, YOU DUMBASS. WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU. WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU. AND THEN YOU TELL US YOU GOT A FAEN??? EXCUSE ME??? BABE, THIS IS A BL, NOT WE GOT MARRIED. Pack it up. That was so selfish of him, and I hated every second of it. Like, you’re an idol. You know the rules. You ain't supposed to be out here playing house. And don’t even get me started on the communication in this series. I have seen TOILETS with better communication skills than this group.

The ending? Meh. A lil cringe, but I ate it up anyway. It’s giving Hallmark BL. Nothing groundbreaking, just vibes.

________________________________________________________________

2. Characters

- Thame (played by William) – This man had me fighting for my life. He started off as this hot-headed, stubborn little brat, and I was already side-eyeing. And why does he randomly switch personalities like a malfunctioning AI??? One minute he's yelling, next minute he’s all soft and touchy with Po. WHICH IS IT, SIR??? Am I watching an actual human being or a badly written Wattpad OC??? The whiplash was REAL. And why does William lowkey look like JaFirst’s long-lost cousin??

- Po (played by Est) – Okay, first impression? BLAND AS HELL like my wallet after buying GMMTV merch. But then… HE GREW ON ME. He’s all shy and introverted, and at first, I was like, “Ugh, another wet paper towel MC,” but then we got THE SCENES. The one where he falls asleep while on the phone with Thame? BITCH. I SCREAMED. It was so cute I nearly threw my phone. And then THE KID SCENE???? THE WAY HE PICKED UP THAT KID SO THEY COULD SEE MARS BETTER??????? BABY, I WAS DEAD ON SIGHT. He’s literally the softest boy alive, I CANNOT. Also, CONGRATS TO EST FOR JOINING THE "PRETTY CRIER" CLUB. WE LOVE TO SEE IT.

- Jun (played by Nut) – Lemme tell you something. I did NOT expect to be sitting here thirsting over a T-POP idol, but… HI, SIR. 😳 Jun is giving leader energy, giving chaos, giving "I will throw hands for my friends." But then he turned into a Thame-Po love consultant, and I was like, “AWW.” And THEN. THEN. THEY MADE HIM LIKE PO TOO????? BABE, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE CUPID, NOT THE OTHER MAN. SIR. SIR. STAY IN YOUR LANE. But no, turns out he was scheming all along. A MENACE. I LOVE HIM. Jun lowkey looks like Jimmy 2.0, tell me I’m wrong.

- Pepper (played by Tui) – At first, I was like, “Daddy energy.” And then he hit us with the “I got a faen” bullshit, and I had to spiritually escort myself out of the chat. BRUH. JAIL. But also… hi, new bias. Damn it.

- Dylan (played by Hong) – BRO. FUCK THIS GUY. Next. Could’ve been my new bias but his character is annoying as hell.

- Nano (played by Lego) – Baby boy. Pretty boy. He’s the youngest, and I just wanted to wrap him up in a blanket and protect him. But the writers did him dirty by not giving him more screentime. #JusticeForNano

- Earn (played by Pepper) – WHY IS PEPPER ALWAYS THE VILLAIN???? WHAT DID HE DO TO GMMTV??? MY MAN NEEDS JUSTICE.


Acting-wise? NO ISSUES. Everyone ate.

________________________________________________________________

3. OST

Bye. NEXT.

Okay, actually, ‘Would You Mind?’ kinda slaps, but Joong sang it better. BYE.

________________________________________________________________

4. Overall

Final thoughts? 7/10.

Why? Because it was ALMOST BORING. But the drama saved their asses. The chemistry? Mid. The plot? Dragged. The conflict? Saved the whole thing.

Let’s be clear: I DO NOT REWATCH SERIES UNLESS THEY’RE ICONIC.

This series? NAH, BYE.

It didn’t "make my heart skip a beat" or whatever they were going for. But still an okay watch.

Would I recommend? If you have time to waste, sure.

Would I sell my soul for a Season 2? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

This whole special series speaks for improvement. I FUCKING SWEAR. I hate Fuse so much before this because he always in denial and Tee is always be the one that have to persuade him and convince him that the relationship that they have is real and it's not wrong. HOWEVER. GURL GURL GURLLLLLLLLL! This special series fucking change my whole point of view on Fuse. He has mature and he use his heart more when it comes to his relationship with Tee. And now, Tee is the one who having second thoughts about their relationship because of his parents wants him to break up with Fuse.

I am not kidding. I cried twice or is it.. thrice. lmao i lost count. When Fuse cried because he was mad Tee didn't share his problem with him eventhough they are a couple just got me WOAH. To be honest, they look kinda cute when they fought because they look like an old married couple but when Fuse just decided drastic decision to break up because its what Tee's parents one, got me like "OH NOOOOOOO". Then after he said mean things to Tee, he chase after Tee and said he is sorry. WOAH THAT PART JUST GOT ME LIKE "FUSE HAS MATURE A LOT OH MY GASSSSHHHHHHHH.". Never forget that in MIR, Tee is the one who always says sorry first even though it's not his fault. But in this series, i can feel Fuse's sincerity and it just hit me so hard.

At the end of the series, Tee finally decided that he will be with Fuse and they got together again which makes me really glad. Fuse looks so sincere in this series and he didn't hesitate one bit. Maybe because it's been 3 years they are in relationship and he knows what he wants.

P/S: Watch this series for a better closure that you need in MIR.

Wow! Just wow! At first, i think that this series gonna be crap. Just like season 1. like the acting is meh. just average and the story line is gonna be very cliche BUT boy am i wrong! Yes! I was surprise to see the acting has improved. LIKE A LOT! The way they act like a couple is really really natural and even more lovey dovey but this time the plot is kind of heavy since they has started to work and everyone has their own responsibilities.

I think the theme for this season is cheating lol. Everyone in the series are cheating or getting cheat on. But its either with intention or without intention. But it's a good series because every couple solve their problem with their own way. But P'Farm and P'Bright's plot is kind of... hm idk. Disappointing. I thought P'Farm is going to hate P'Bright and don't want to meet him at all but nope. THEY GOT TOGETHER. MEH. I really wish P'Farm can be together with P'Kit which really sad.

For P'Yhiwa, I DID NOT EXPECT SHE HAS CHANGE THIS MUCH. She is so fucking pretty and to be honest, her acting are still the same which is very good and P'Fai. She is like the bad bitch in the series like she speaks up for the audience lmaoo. when they decided to spy on P'Knock and P'Korn having sex, P'Fai just got me dead lmao. The ending shows us the closure for each character but im curious who did P'Kit met.
*cOUGHS* P'Choturnsgaypls

:')

OKNO

Eventually. i fucking love this series because the kiss felt so real and the chemistry they had is superb!

IGNORE OTHER REVIEWS

Please just listen to me. I don't know what other reviews said about this show to be disappointing??? All I know is Yim and Tutor have THE BEST CHEMISTRY EVERRRR!!!!! The fact that they make me forgot about the main pairing really says something. AND I AM SO GLADDD THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SERIES because this is DA BOMB!! I like how Jade is trying his best in solving the mystery of Mai's crush when he did not realize that he is Mai's crush. The way Yim portrays Jade is stunning and he knows that he has the best smile so he use it for his advantage in portraying Jade. I really like how the story shows that sometimes supporting role that supports you need their own support as well and if there is something for me to complain would prolly be THAT 8 EPISODES ARE NOT ENOUGH!!!!! please... give them more project cause what is this babe? 8 EPISODES????

Tutor on the other hand, WOW. The way he looks at Yim when playing Mai is really something else, man. I would honestly MELT. He looks really IN LOVE with Jade and it seems like he is MAI like Mai is him. I like how he is showcasing how he adore Jade as Mai and the action scene is not cringe either. I really laugh when I watch this series because IT IS SO DAMN FUNNY.

PLEASE WATCH THIS SERIES ON IQYI since the UNCUT scene is *CHEF'S KISS*.

P/S: I still cannot get over the part Mai wearing Jade's glasses tbh FUCKKKKKK but anyway, please ignore other review and watch this series.

GURLLLLLL, hold my iced coffee because we need to talk about this series!

First of all, I don’t even like Pon. Yeah, I said it. Didn’t vibe with him in Pit Babe, thought he was giving serious, mysterious, “I’m-too-cool-for-you” energy, and I was like, “Nah, I’m good.” BUT THIS SERIES? WHO IS THIS MAN, AND WHY IS HE SO FREAKING ADORABLE?? Like, Pon as Plawan? Sir, you did NOT have to slay this hard.

Plawan is a walking disaster. This boy is clumsy, clueless, and trying to be a model when literally no one—including himself—believes in it. And then Methas comes in all shady, like, “Yo, help me win this competition so I can take down Chef Oab,” and Plawan’s like, “Sure, what could go wrong?” Baby, EVERYTHING. That’s what could go wrong. But Pon’s acting? ICONIC. He had me feeling like I was sitting at the next table sipping tea and live-streaming their mess. It’s giving reality TV in HD.

Now, about the SPICE: GURLLLLL. THE SEXUAL TENSION IS TENSIONING. Methas and JJ? I don’t care what anyone says, they’re BOTH tops in my mind because the power struggle? CHEFS KISS. But can we just pause and talk about the side pairing for a second? Because let’s be real—they’re the main course. Kluea, my sweet baby angel, deserved the world. The drama with Oab and Plawan acting like Kluea’s heart isn’t a punching bag? Unacceptable. GIVE THAT BOY A HUG.

Speaking of Oab—sir, you are the PETTIEST MAN ALIVE. Opening a whole restaurant out of spite? I hate you, but also, I’m in love with you. His soft moments with Plawan made me want to ugly cry into my noodles. BUT THEN, they’d turn around and rub their happy little situationship in Kluea’s face, and I was like, “Y’all better be grateful I’m not Kluea because I’d throw hands.”

Now, let’s talk aesthetics: THE FOOD. Sweet Jesus, the food shots are illegal. Every dish looked like it belonged on a Food Network show, and now I’m starving. And can I just say, Pad Kra Pao has never looked sexier? I don’t know if I want to date it or eat it.

Aon as Kluea? BABY. His acting has room to grow, but the vibes? They’re immaculate. He reminds me of Seng, but softer and more chaotic. The love triangle was juicy, but I wanted more mess! Like, give me screaming matches, broken plates, and dramatic exits. Instead, we got “Oops, we’re in love now” energy, which is fine, but WHERE’S THE CHAOS??

Overall, this series had me screaming, crying, throwing up—and also snacking because the food scenes are THAT good. Would I rewatch? Uhhh, for the food and maybe to simp over Plawan’s adorable disaster self. And if you don’t watch it for the plot, at least watch it for the sexual tension that could slice through steel. Okay, I’m done. BYEEEE! 🍜🔥✨

We Are Chaotic, Hilarious, and Low-Key Addictive BL Breakdown

OKAY. We Are had me screaming, crying, throwing up (in the best way possible). It’s not Peaceful Property tier, but it’s definitely sipping tea in the same café. Let’s break this chaotic masterpiece down because y’all NEED to know why this is a must-watch.

---

THE VIBES: BL BUT MAKE IT MESSY

This series serves interconnected chaos. Four couples, all friends, all messy in their own special ways, set at university (because obviously—Thai BL law). And yeah, it’s cliché AF, but who are we kidding? We eat that shit up every time. The drama, the fluff, the feels? It’s a buffet, and I’m feasting.

---

THE CHARACTERS: SLAY OR NAY?

- Phum (Pond): BABY. This man is sexy and cute—a dangerous combo. Phum is your spoiled rich brat with daddy issues (so groundbreaking, I know), but Pond sells it. He’s just self-aware enough to make you root for him, especially when he starts realizing, “Wait... do I like Peem?” Spoiler: yes, Phum. Yes, you do.

- Peem (Phuwin): Our procrastinating art student king. Bro, as an art student myself, I felt seen. His chill, “I’ll-do-it-when-I-feel-like-it” energy is a vibe but also the only emotionally mature one in the group. He COMMUNICATES, people. Phum and Peem’s dynamic is basically enemies-to-lovers but without the annoying, drawn-out misunderstandings. Peem’s like, “Bro, let’s talk.” And Phum? Phum listens. Growth, people.

- Q (Winny) & Toey (Satang): Cold senior meets sunshine junior, and it’s giving “I hate you because you make me feel things”. Q is every broody, emotionally repressed love interest ever, but Toey? Toey is a happy-go-lucky golden retriever who’s here to shake things up. Their dynamic is pure serotonin, especially when Toey fake-dates Chain to make Q jealous. When Toey had his lil’ emotional meltdown? I WAS READY TO FIGHT Q. Don’t make my boy cry, you emotionally constipated art prodigy.

- Tan (Aou) & Khaofang (Boom): THE MOMENT. These two carry the whole series. Tan’s chaotic sunshine energy is unmatched—always scheming hangouts and low-key acting as the group therapist. Meanwhile, Khaofang? Total “look but don’t touch” energy, except Tan can, and boy does he. Their dynamic is effortlessly cute, especially when Tan accidentally calls Khaofang “babe” in front of everyone. Khaofang just rolls with it like, “Oh, y’all didn’t know? Oops.”

- Chain (Marc) & Pun (Poon): Okay, I’m gonna say it—this couple had potential, but the execution? TRASH. Chain’s confession came out of nowhere, like the writers just threw it in last minute and said, “Yeah, that’ll do.” No, babes, that won’t do. And the kiss? Immediate ick. It’s giving “we’re running out of screentime, just end it already.”

JJ AS MATTHEW: THE OTHER TWIN PROBLEM

So, JJ plays Matthew, Toey’s friend, and honestly? He’s fine. BUT. And it’s a BIG but: where is AJ?! Because let’s be real, AJ just gets comedy. He’s got that natural chaotic energy and can ad-lib his way into stealing every scene he’s in. JJ, on the other hand? He’s more... meh. Like, I kept watching and thinking, “Wait, which twin is this?", But no, JJ just didn’t bring the same spark.

The script wasn’t doing him any favors either. It’s basic as hell, and there’s zero room for JJ to add his own flair. If AJ had played Matthew? The comedy would’ve popped off. Instead, we’re left with a character that’s just... there. Not terrible, not amazing, just existing in the background like a sad little plant.

PLOT: CHAOS BUT MAKE IT FUN

We Are isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, and honestly? It doesn’t have to. The plot is straightforward, funny, and full of just the right amount of drama.

- PhumPeem: The ultimate enemies-to-lovers ship. Their bickering is top-tier, and the way Phum slowly realizes he’s into Peem? Chef’s kiss. But what really sets them apart? They COMMUNICATE. No unnecessary angst, just two idiots figuring it out.

- QToey: The classic junior/senior secret crush situation. Things heat up when Toey fake-dates Chain to make Q jealous (a flawless plan, obviously). Watching Q stew in his feelings before finally admitting he likes Toey? Satisfying AF.

- TanKhaofang: Tan’s puppy-dog chasing paired with Khaofang’s chill sass is everything. The way their relationship unfolds is so natural, but Tan’s clumsiness gives the best accidental “we’re caught” moments. Love them.

- ChainPun: Honestly, the weakest link. Their storyline felt like an afterthought, and while their dynamic is funny, the pacing was off.

THE LUST PROBLEM: GMMTV, DO BETTER

GURL. The sex scene? NOTHING to write home about. GMMTV, why do you insist on soft fluff when we’re all screaming for some actual heat? GIVE US LUST. GIVE US PASSION. Stop blue-balling the audience and let the gays thrive, for the love of all that is holy.

---

THE OST: MIXED BAG

The general soundtrack is fine—cute, chaotic, and very “we’re friends but also make out sometimes.” But let’s talk about PhumPeem’s OST. That song is a straight-up BOP. It’s giving 3 AM butterflies, falling-hard-for-your-enemy vibes. An emotional masterpiece.

---

FINAL THOUGHTS: CHAOS, BUT MAKE IT CUTE

We Are is a delightful mess. It’s not perfect (*cough* ChainPun), but the group dynamics, the humor, and the heart make it an easy binge. You’ll laugh, you’ll swoon, and you’ll definitely scream, “GMMTV, STOP WITH THE FLUFF.”

Final score? 100/10. It’s a hot mess in the best way possible. Watch it, love it, and join me in demanding better sex scenes. GMMTV, I’m looking at you.

CENTURY OF LOVE? BABE, IT'S SERVING CINEMATIC LEGEND.

Okay, so when they announced DaouOffroad as the leads, I was like, “Meh, this could go either way.” No offense, but their last stuff was like plain toast—okay but forgettable. BUT HOLD UP. This series came swinging, and I’m here screaming, “Where was this energy before??” Let’s break it down, gurl.

THE CONCEPT THAT ATE:
Picture this: 1970s-80s Chinese aesthetic, forbidden love, AND reincarnation drama? Ugh, it’s giving poetic chaos. So, we’ve got San (Daou) and Ms. Wat, who are in love but can’t be together because society (yawn, predictable). They decide to elope, but Trai (the certified villain of this tea) isn’t having it. San, heartbroken and melodramatic, does some ancient ritual to live for a century just to find Wat’s reincarnation. Commitment? Yes. Healthy? Absolutely not. Therapy, perhaps?

Fast forward: San meets Wee, the reincarnation of Wat, and starts spiraling because, oops, it’s a guy this time. And guess what? San goes into full denial mode—until a steamy wet dream rocks his world. LITERALLY. 💀 My man was like, "Wait, am I into him? Or is this indigestion?" Spoiler alert: it’s both. Throw in a mysterious woman who looks like Wat, and the drama EXPLODES. Love triangle? Yes, queen. Betrayal? Oh, you better believe it. The twists had me gasping, clutching my pearls, and screaming at the screen.


THE CHARACTERS:
Let’s start with Wee (Offroad). Honestly, I can’t decide if I love him or wanna shake him. He’s smart, but also dumb as hell. Like, one minute he’s all family-man vibes (love that he prioritizes his grandma), and the next, he’s making questionable life choices. Boy, pick a lane. Now San (Daou) is the epitome of repressed boomer energy. Sir, it’s the 2020s; being gay isn’t illegal anymore. Stop acting like it’s still 1970. That said, Daou’s acting? ICONIC. He serves old-school mannerisms with a sprinkle of tortured-soul realness. Someone get this man an award, STAT.

Also, can we talk about Pond just showing up out of nowhere as the second lead? Bro, aren’t you busy filming Fourever You? But honestly, he came, he saw, he served. His role added that little sprinkle of ✨drama✨ we didn’t know we needed.

THE DRAMA WE LIVE FOR:
The love triangle? Spicy. The betrayal? Juicy. The emotional tension? CHEF’S KISS. Every character carried their weight like pros, and not a single scene felt out of place. The pacing? Smooth like butter. The plot twists? GAGGED. Especially when the betrayal hit. If you’re not screaming at your screen by episode 8, are you even watching it right?

THE AESTHETICS & MUSIC:
THE VIBES? Chef’s kiss. The 70s-80s Chinese setting is immaculate, from the costumes to the sets. And the OST? I didn’t expect to cry over a love ballad, but here we are. It’s got this soft, vintage feel that perfectly matches the romance and heartbreak. I was swaying, imagining myself in a vintage qipao, living my best dramatic life. I’m downloading it on Spotify as we speak.

WHAT COULD SLAP HARDER:
Okay, imma say it. The bedroom scene. Look, I get it—they’re sticking to the aesthetic, but why does it feel like I’m watching two dolls kiss? Give me tension. Give me heat. Give me the fireworks we deserve. It’s giving PG-13, when I need TV-MA. Like, I get that we’re keeping it classy, but give me something, you know? We’re all adults here.

FINAL VERDICT:
This series? It’s giving everything. From the heartfelt acting to the dramatic plot twists, it’s the type of show you binge and then think about for days. The reincarnation twist was done so well, and the love story is just chef’s kiss. Daou absolutely killed it with San’s emotional depth, and Offroad brought the perfect mix of humor and heart.

Watch it, rewatch it, then force your friends to watch it too. It’s THAT good. And if Daou doesn’t get some awards for this, we’re rioting.

12/10. Now excuse me while I replay the wet dream scene for research purposes. 💅
