Boi are you Gelly?
Wow this was MESSY. We've got the core 4 friends in this and the teen angst is strong with this one. It reminded me so much of 'Gameboys' and 'ITSAY' (which duh makes sense same director of ITSAY) in how it puts more emphasis on the cinematography and editing/use of colour. Seriously the editing style in this was awesome, one of the best I've seen in queer Thai media. The Y2K styling too in the outfits, nails, etc made me so happy. The gel manicures from these boys were giving me LIFE!I’m also glad all these “high schoolers” are played by mid to late 20year olds lol. Because when they were making out I was like uhhhhhhhh...oh yeah! These are actually adults!
So with the plot. I think the aesthetics of the show out shadows the plot quite a bit, it can get kind of slow and cumbersome but nothing that held me back from wanting to see more. Like in ITSAY, these are meant to be teens so take some of the antics with that in mind. You're going to be stupid as a teen, and possibly hurt others feelings in the process! But each character is a good person at their core and ultimately figuring themselves out. So Chian stringing along Mod for a hot minute was pretty much the same thing Bua was doing, just in a different font! Same with what Fou was doing to Baabin. You like who you like romantically and it can be heartbreaking. I wanted to hug each of them so badly when they cried! But its part of life and you navigate.
Super excited for a season 2! Also yay for more trans representation! It’s not super obvious but it’s there and I love that.

Some of the best psychological romantic sports drama I've ever seen.
This drama has exceeded my expectations, from visuals, to storyline, to plot twists, to every single scene, I loved the way the team developed, the way the mains got introduced, the way he fell first she fell harder, EVERY.SINGLE.SCENE. First of I want to talk about the female lead, her story was very heartbreaking (and so was the male lead but we'll get to that later), basically distrust can really hurt someone and so can rumors, they can ruin someone's life. About the male lead... poor him, traumatized of taking over a football team, and afraid of being responsible and failing for a second time, not knowing that it wasn't really his fault, it was other people's faultS, yes, many people were involved in this thing he was investigating (I'm trying not to reveal ANY spoilers cuz its best to watch it like this). Honestly, I didn't want to watch it, but my mom told me she was searching for a drama with a cute female lead and I immediately thought of Esther Yu, in every single drama even if she was the villain she was very cute (I think), and she really didn't fail. In the end, some things remain unsolved which really made me crash out just a bit, like what happened to the members of the team in detail? What about the male lead's sister's romantic life? I was so absorbed into this drama that I thought that there would be a second couple, dang that hit hard, what about the female lead's job? I hope there will be a special or a season two cuz I'm watching it. To be honest, I almost dropped it because I thought the female lead was really the person that the male lead was searching for, but thank goodness those clips convinced me, I didn't see any spoilers about her or the person, I don't even watch sad ending and I thought to myself, even if it turns out to be a bad ending I will still watch it no matter what, and look what happened. Very recommended down there will be if it is a happy ending or a sad one if you don't want to see don't see it cause it does count as a spoiler?It is a happy ending; the main couple end up together everything is resolved.

What a trash !
IU and Byeon Woo-seok aesthetic 10/10Honestly this is a drama you will watch if you are fan dumb, if you are not please..don't
i seriously felt absolutely stupid after all 12 episode.
what a waste of time, i don't even like byeon woo seok anymore thanks to this trash of a drama.
the ending almost blew my mind not in a good way.
They stretched an Instagram Reel’s worth of plot into 12 episodes.
Honestly people don't watch it.
Lets be real all the people who gave 10/10 its just for the cast IU and Byeon Woo-seok.
If you are watching this for all those cute moments just watch 10 reels.

The best historical mystery drama for me.
How am I supposed to write how good this drama is??I loved EVERYTHING in this drama, the romance, the cast, the plot twists with mystery solving, the female lead being so bold with her solving, her being smart and an independent woman is everything I need in a drama that is 40 episodes. Some people are hating on her character saying that she is too smart or annoying\unromantic sometimes, however that is one of the main reasons why I loved her, she never lets anyone steal her man, steal her job (which no one dares to do), and how clever she is in both solving mysteries and in life. Her man, DUDE straight out of a fantasy story, what the actual hell with his AMAZING visuals, bro fell in love with her at first sight, like dude was head over heels, he was MESMERIZED, I mean she is someone to get mesmerized by just looking at her. The second couple (Princess Ning and Prince Yan Li), I LOVED THEM, but the director\producer did them dirty and didn't let them have enough screentime for their romantic era, even though Bai Fang and Fu Ling are supports I kinda felt they had more screentime than the second couple and they even counted as "main roles" I really wish they will have in the future more romantic dramas with each other, we will get one with Yan Chi and Yue Ning but what about Yue Ning and Yan Li?? Anyways the music.... I thought that such an amazing drama with stunning visuals, detailed background and items, perfect storyline would make the music very outstanding, if you listen to the music alone, on YouTube its VERY GOOD, so why didn't they include that much music is just not enjoyable for someone who listens to a lot of osts. Anywayss, this drama is one of the best dramas I've ever watched, and I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY RECOMMEND IT!!Was this review helpful to you?
This drama is facing lookism disadvantage.
This is that one drama for people who care about acting, story... ...... etcAll things covered each episode is getting better and better.
But It Ain't that popular
Beacause reason is lack of beauty privilege, unnecessary hyping.
Trust me its 100percenge better than perfect crown which we all watched for the asthetics.

Perfect leads,perfect acting,perfect second and third couples,MUST WATCH.
Okay, so this is lowkey my first time writing a review. So the reason why I ended up watching this drama is because I was searching dramas for Cheng since I loved his role in Coroner's Diary, it was a show i rewatched it whole for like 7 times because of how good it was. I'm hoping in the future to see him act with Yu (Princess Ning Yue) from Coroner's Diary. The reason why I loved this drama not only because I was searching for amazing visuals, basic storyline, giggly romance, and something worth my time before school starting, I loved everything about this drama, just hoped that the third couple would get more screentime but it's fine since it's obvious he likes her. This is your sign\chance to watch this drama if you want a ROMANTIC drama, very but not that very simple storyline, amazing visuals, this drama is for you. However, at the beginning, I lowkey hated the female lead, and I hate myself for that, like she was a bit annoying with her lying but then we got over it. The reason why I rated the music so low is because there was no music like lyrics except once in the car, I love Chinese osts they always speak different to me, I hope the rest of the dramas I watch the music and lyrics will be very clear, I personally rewatch dramas when I can't find something else to watch, but this drama is not my style to rewatch it is a one-watch-drama and it is really worth it. I get the hype and I will recommend it to someone with free time and enjoys basic storyline sometimes like me.Was this review helpful to you?

This story has some unique representation of a good relationship, indeed a great series.
not a single unnecessary scene, interesting plots. character improvements were seen in each ep. definitely hasn't had a rushed ending. sincerity in the presentation of each character especially representing some social problems such as PCODs, social anxiety, recovering from past trauma. mostly when the characters understood each other's problems and tried to be more understanding, handling each other's problems in a mature way showed that this series is certainly worth watching. [P.S. i had already watched this series several times, perhaps 6 times. if anyone is interested to explore about a gl series based on a healthy relationship with trust, ups and downs, flaws, fun & nice plots, companion, enemies to lovers plot, mutual understanding and obviously happy ending then this series is indeed for you.]Was this review helpful to you?
Bland...Lacked some depth to get into it
I usually love friends-to-lovers trope but this drama, while centred around it, felt super bland to me. It lacked some spice or gripping factor to get me invested...And the way the tone of the series shifted but was superficially addressed did not sit very well with me...Regarding the acting, I did not feel very impressed by the chemistry between the leads but to be honest, the script and the way the characters were relatively empty and one note, probably did not help them...Maybe the male lead role had a bit more meat but the female lead role was really more an empty vessel than anything else...Any of the inner and outside conflicts that happened was resolved so quickly that it felt lacking.
I would not recommend this to people as it felt like a very mid run-of-the-mill office josei story. Would it have been spicier, crazier or simply more heartfelt, it could have been good...But here it remained at a very mid level, with nothing outstanding nor memorable.

It was more like a nightmare to me.
Sadly, I’m dropping this one. Idk, something just feels off. I feel like I’m watching actors play characters rather than actually seeing the characters themselves. The framing often throws me off, and the editing feels a little clumsy at times. The use of AI is also WAY too obvious in some scenes, which pulls me out of the story even more. I just can’t seem to get immersed in it.I don’t really feel much emotionally either. It feels like the drama is just showing us things without actually making us feel anything, if that makes sense. Even the dialogue feels kind of hollow.
The plot is also a mess. It feels like a random pile of events being thrown at you without any real depth or development, rather than an actual story that’s being built. Everything feels disjointed, and the pacing is weird and all over the place, which makes it even harder to get invested.
I also get the feeling that the drama took some inspiration from the C-drama When I Fly Towards You, but honestly, I don’t think I’m missing much by dropping it.The only thing I really like is the color grading sometimes. It has that kinda 2016 vibe that I actually enjoy lol. But yeah, that’s pretty much it.

Beautiful noona romance
What I like about this drama:The script
The three girlfriends
Male lead moments of giddiness
Flashbacks of childhood days
The music
Pacing of the story
Moment when both leads are together
Least favourite:
The amount of alcohol drinking
Mr Hua's side of the story. Seems a bit purposeless and much less of interesting filler. I would have much prefer if third girlfriend has her own story.
Lawyer boyfriend story left hanging
Overall one of the best noona romance I've seen so far.

1Only if you can separate the problematic man from the problematic role
Doll House is one of those films that I wish I’d checked the cast list more thoroughly before watching. Baron Geisler gave a strong performance as a drug addict and alcoholic. Unfortunately, his real life is even more problematic than a burnt-out singer looking to connect with a child he’d never met.Singer Rustin burns through each day performing with his band, hanging out at the beach with his buddies, and snorting cocaine. When a friend dies, he wanders around ending up in Rotterdam, the place where he’d left the love of his life. Turns out his ex-wife has died and his eight-year-old daughter is being raised by people who care deeply for her. He ingratiates himself and talks Uncle Bok into letting him babysit.
The film asks the viewer to take a lot of leaps over illogical ravines. Let’s see, I meet a guy dressed in leather stinking of soured booze and old cigarette smoke and since he’s from my homeland, I trust him with a child I adore. Not a chance in hell. Aside from that egregious plot setup, at least the film didn’t shy away from Rustin’s drinking and drug addiction. Yumi’s guardians were right to protect her from him once they realized who he was. Though director Mancheta laid on the father-daughter connection thick with numerous scenes of laughing in the park and rain. Which were ruined by a scene of Rustin putting Yumi in a barrel of cold water to teach her to sing.
Doll House attempted to walk the line between reality and familial fantasy, with a rough landing in reality dusted by a smidgen of hope. I wish I could separate an actor’s personal life from their role, but now the only thing I can think is that they should never have let Geisler near a child actor, much less a female one. I tried to rate it as fairly as possible, but I’m not sure I succeeded.
11 August 2026
Problematic behavior: Geisler’s had at least 4 sexual harassment/assault cases. Groping women’s breasts and performing lude acts in front of them. Two children on the television show Noah were said to have been traumatized by his behavior. That’s not including the car accidents and brawls. But by all means, give men lots of chances that women will never have. :/

The Romance Was Cute, But the Boys Had My Heart
I went into this expecting a romance, but honestly, that is not what made me love this series. The romance is there, and I actually really liked the main couple and their story, but this is ultimately the boys story.What I loved most was watching this group of boys slowly find their confidence, become friends, and learn to believe in themselves again. When the story begins, they have basically accepted that they are going to lose every match and that playing football isn't even fun anymore. Watching that slowly change was honestly so heartwarming.
I loved seeing how they found comfort and support in their coach, how the team slowly became a real family, and how they started to think about their futures and believe that they could actually achieve something. There is so much heart in this story, and I think that is what will stay with me.
I can understand why some people found the series a little slow or boring, because it is a fairly calm drama (for the most part). But if you go into it expecting a romance-heavy drama, you might be disappointed. If you go in wanting to watch a group of teenage boys grow together, find their confidence, and figure out where they want to go in life, I think this series is really worth watching!
I will personally rewatch it!

Why You should watch this drama
I know this drama looks weird because a human X an animal but it's not. The relationship are so well written and for a cute drama like this it's kind of deep. Also the "cat" is so funny. There are a lot of misunderstandings but they are bearable.The more you rewatch the more you understand the choice of the characters. The romance is also very good and well put and the FL is not annoying she seems like she is bit she isn't. Well I don't have anymore to say without spoiling the drama so watch pls it's so good funny and interesting.Was this review helpful to you?
