Why R U? (2020)

Simply Amazing

So i must say that I have watched pretty much all the top Thai BL dramas and whilst the story might be weird in some cases the story of #Fightor was simply mind blowing for me. I have not experienced their particular type of relationship in all the BLs i have watched. I do often say that even with #TharnType had it not being for Techno i probably might not have watched it much, because I didn’t like some of the attributes of the series main characters.

1. Fight & Tutor
I could write a book or do another movie on their story. For me it was beautiful in the subtle ways that Zee captured and communicated his emotions and feelings with his eyes, breathing, stares. I felt everything. I loved that he wasn’t brash except maybe for the scene when he barged in on Tutor because of the pretense Tutor put up about taking a younger student as the reason for the break-up and that anger i could understand because he was expressing his pain and i felt that pain from the moment Tutor said he should keep his promise and he asked Tutor to stops teasing him. For me Fighter was a sweetheart and was able to balance his dominant nature with his display of affection.

Tutor hmmmmmm....... i was so happy that Saint handled this role in a way that did not make him the typical pushover bottom. He didn’t allow Fighter to just get away with anything he wanted, he questioned, he asserted himself and honestly i loved that so much compared to his role as Pete in “Love by Chance”. I loved his role hear as Tutor it exposed more of what is baby looks was capable of and his maturity in dealing with things. Probably the only thing i was against was him not telling Fighter about the Dad’s threat. I mean they had just recently connected with themselves and suddenly you say lets break-up and even for me as a viewer i was confused, hurt and emotionally distraught because i felt that even if he was going to break-up with Fight, Fight at least had the right to know why. Fight was left thinking and wondering like a crazy person as to what the reason could be even willing to change whatever it was. That was just my only problem that for someone as wise as they claimed Tutor to be he could have mentioned why he couldn’t be with him anymore. But again that’s me nitpicking.

In conclusion this couple’s chemistry for me was brilliant, it was sweet like the moment when he brought Tutor back to the apartment to take care of him after the breakup and Tutor told him to stay a while and not leave. That was so sweet for a couple who were also extremely passionate and intense when it came to love making. The way Tutors expression goes when he is playing with Tutor and he nods his head up. Everything was just too much. Tutor being the Alpha wife but not violent like “Type” of #TharnType. Honestly if you don’t watch anything else watch the #Fightor scenes.

2. Saifah & Zon
There scenes for me were more for laughs to be honest. The way Zon kept freaking me out was freaking me out. At a point i didn’t even know what was real or not. I had to watch the entire series to understand if them meeting up together to purchase the pick was not a dream because the day before it was still a fight and all of a sudden it was an invite to get a pick and they were sharing ice cream and Saifah paying for stuff like a sugar daddy at that point i felt it was a dream and even Sai was confused when he tried kissing him at some point and Zon snapped him off and Sai had to ask if he was bipolar because clearly Zon had been acting like he was fine with what they could become. So whilst the acted their part well, i could not relate to their romance except for when it was comical. The only time I appreciated their romantic gestures was in the last episode when they made promises to each other

Saifah: i will have only you
Zon: i will give in to only you

That scene was amazing mainly for me because of the lines. It was sweet.

3. Other Couples
Don’t even get me started the only side couple i was attracted to was Japan and Tai. Their interactions was weird with Tai being clingy always and Japan always taking about 3 mins of more to process what Tai was doing. It was adorable and funny and I always looked forward to it. I didn’t very much enjoy the other couples. It was weird for me that it wasn’t up to 5 mins that Hawa and Fight spoke and broke-up (whatever their relationship was) and she immediately was kissing Fight’s friend that was not right.

Whilst i also have accepted now that 90% BLs is (borrowing Type of #TharnType motto) “you get what your hate” i really would have preferred if Blue ended up with Champ rather than with Dew (except if that was a dream) because like i said some things were confusing. All in all my high rating is based on the characters #FighTor I loved it and have watched the series probably 5 times

In my opinion, one of the best Thai BL series of 2020. The quartet of main characters aged 28, 25, 22 and 20 with carefully coiffed affines played a game under the guidance of the creators, which is not quite the usual format for this kind of series. Tutor with his girlish face and some marigold smiles (in a good way), the infectiously attractive Fighter, the tall Saifah and the tiny Zon. When monvi writes here that he "looked at Thai guys", I would add - Day was very nice to me (I put him in Pictures, he's second from the top).
The school was suppressed a lot in the first episodes and disappeared in the second phase, more eroticism came to the fore in the final episodes, the audience will enjoy it mainly with the Tutor-Figther duo, which after many series, when after a long wait at the end you will see max. or not even here, there is a shift.
Everything was top notch, especially the music and processing, the camera, the editing, the artistic aspect, you can also enjoy the Thai beaches and islands.
If you don't need all the BL series and choose only the best pieces, don't put one review on here, which is rather discouraging with its below-average rating, and I recommend this series to you.


Dle mě jeden z nejlepších thajských BL seriálů roku 2020. Kvarteto hlavních hrdinů v civilním věku 28,25,22 a 20 let s pečlivě načesanými afinkami rozehrálo pod vedením tvůrců partii, která není zcela běžným formátem tohoto druhu seriálů. Tutor se svou dívčí tvářičkou a s některými úsměvy jak měsíček na hnoji (v dobrém), nakažlivě přitažlivý Fighter, dlouhán Saifah a maličký Zon. Když tady monvi píše, že se "zhlídnul v thajských klucích", tak já bych doplnil - pro mě byl moc sympatický Day (dal jsem ho do Obrázků, je druhý seshora).
Škola byla hodně potlačena v prvních dílech a v druhé fázi vymizela, do popředí se protlačila větší erotičnost v závěrečných dílech, diváci si ji užijí hlavně u dvojice Tutor-Figther, což po mnoha seriálech, kdy po dlouhém čekání na konci uvidíte max. pusinku a nebo ani tu ne, je posun.
Vše bylo na výši, především hudba a zpracování, kamera, střih, výtvarná stránka, užít si můžete i thajských pláží a ostrůvků.
Kdo zrovna nemusí všechny BL seriály a vybírá si jen nejlepší kousky, nedejte na zdejší jednu recenzi, která svým podprůměrným ohodnocením spíše odradí a za mě Vám tento seriál doporučuji.

Its so beautiful and fantastic!

I really loved it the chemistry of Fightertutor is great and the acting is aswell. Also i am a bit dissapointed that there arent any kiss scenes of Saifahzon but i accept it cuz its of corona and i am gonna watch Saifahzon storyline soon. I really want too rewatch again i dont regret watching it. Also the Fightertutor scenes were so nice! I loved it! Only the storyline i didnt like that much because Zon was all thinking they were in a novel but it wasnt true right. I loved how saint acted in this drama because the cry scenes were amazing and he didnt look like he forced too cry. Also the kiss scenes were amazing like holy man. But only i want more of the side couples yes, I really recommend this too BL fans because it is amazing. And i enjoyed it so much too watch it! ~Review from Mildy

If you're into fast paced Romance plot, add this to your watch list

There are PROS AND CONS for this series and I'm just going to make my review about this short. Basically, there are 2 main couples here and I actually love both of their chemistry.

For the pros, the acting is actually good, most especially on the characters Fighter and Tutor. They are not holding back especially on their hot and steamy scenes. For Zon and Sai Fah, it's also good but for me there were times that Zon was pretty stiff in some of the scenes though it's still good because Zon and Sai Fah are the cute couple in the series and I find their scenes to be sweet, funny and not overly cringey.

The pacing is also okay since the romance development for this series is fast in order to not bore the viewers or watchers.

For the OST and PRODUCTION, it's actually good eventhough the series had faced problems in filming especially in the last episodes that's why there were lesser scenes of Zon and Sai Fah and the series mostly focused on Fighter and Tutor because of the pandemic.

For the Cons of this series, I mostly had issues with Fighter and Tutor's relationship. They were actually my fave couple in the beginning and I love their sassyness when they flirted with each other. Basically, they were the hot couple in the series and their steamy scenes are really good. Props to them for their acting and for not holding back. Anyway, what I didn't like was how vague Fighter was like he had to ask Tutor a couple of times for confirmation if he really did have feelings for him. Like seriously bro, you kissed him a lot of times and you were still unsure?? ***sigh*** Well, in the end, I'm glad they faced their issues and they ended up together.

Another cons for me for this series is the fact that there were a lot of shipping or fetishizers?? (is that even a word lol) for gay relationships. Not to mention the excessive fan service were actually a bit cringey for me. Although, it was part of the plot. It's still uncomfortable especially Zon's sister who basically used his brother's name as well as his brother's friends in a Y novel without permission. Yes, the purpose for this was for comedy but yeah. Enough of the series of having a lot of fujoshis shipping real people.

Lastly, there were characters and moments that I actually find to be unecessary in the series. I don't get why they had to add some side couples or more characters in the series and I actually find it to be too much because they litterally had little screen time. Furthermore, the ending is rushed and there were lacking scenes of Saifah and Zon but I understand since the filming had some changes because of the pandemic. The production team did film a separate story for Saifah and Zon, so you might as well check that one out too if you're a fan for this couple.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a series which provides hot and steamy scenes as well as cute, funny and sweet moments, you can add this in your watch list. There are good moments as well as bad moments that might not sit well with you but it entirely depends on the watcher or the viewer. This series is still a good watch for me, the premise is not unique because it's common but you can still be entertained in watching it... :)

I liked the character development between the characters. You saw Saifah and Zon who used to hate each other and ended up dating and getting comfortable with each other. In the multiple scenes where they could've kissed and didn't was done SO well. You saw how Zon didn't want to kiss and Saifah actually pulled him away and didn't force Zon to kiss him. Which I thought was done well because Saifah respected that Zon didn't want to kiss him and pulled away. Another thing is how you saw Zon getting comfortable around Saifah. After they were both gonna be in the music show thing you saw them develop the friendship even more. I also liked the fact of how you saw Saifah patiently waiting for Zon. He didn't immediately go after him. Most of the times were just him teasing Zon, he didn't exactly hit on Zon. (From what I saw)
Also, the thing about the novel. I found it uncomfortable how Zol wrote a fanfiction with her BROTHER in it. Like If I were Zon I would grab her laptop and delete that crap. Not make a promise with her! I just found it uncomfortable about how Zon's own sister would make a fanfiction of him and Saifah. They could've made a different approach in my opinion.
I can't wait for the special episodes of Saifah and Zon. Due to COVID 19 some scenes weren't filmed in time so they have to wait until this passes over.

For P'Fight and Tutor one thing I didn't like is how Fighter randomly kissed Tutor. You saw in the series how Fighter actually liked Tutor but, if he didn't like Tutor he would be leading him on and breaking his heart. But luckily Fighter liked Tutor and they became a couple. One bad thing is dad's drama. I don't think it would actually be done that quickly. The dad's drama just felt like a filler.
I also LOVE how they didn't use the stereotype where there are a soft weak bottom and a dominant top. If they didn't have those scenes I honestly wouldn't be able to tell whos top and whos bottom. That's one of the things I really love about these 2. Also from what I noticed they had a healthy relationship which was good.
Other than that Tutor and Fighter had really good chemistry and I love how Fighter took care of Tutor.

There are downsides to this series but other than that I really loved this series.

SaintZee

The story is a bit messy with too many side CP but Boy oh Boy Saint Zee.

P'Fight & Tor story line & chemistry by itself is enough to carry the whole drama.
Saifah & Zon are great and everything but chemistry wise, I haven't seen ever in any drama bl and not such a strong chemistry similar as P'Fight & Tor.
Some people are either stupid or too young to understand that their story line isn't just good bc of the amount of skinship but that the amount of skinship is rooted in the strong desire they had for each other and force themselves to burry deep down.
Spoiler
A lot of people didn't notice that Tutor actually also had an interest in Fighter but it is there., specially in the flashback where Fighter bought a bottle for Tutor, the look in Tutor eyes, the teasing, the disappointment when the guy drink the water destined for him. Also Hwahwa is best girl, specially in the way she later accept their relationship.
I love the toxic free yet still facing hardships yet still relatable story lines.

Bad points:
I honestly found myself fast forwarding a lot when SaintZee weren't on screen. Also the drama is very self aware, some of the clichés & moment of the side cp are still burdening the story line which is already messy enough on its own.

Story - 9/10
The Fighter and Tutor relationship almost describes a real gay couple. Fought for the one you love and prove that they are wrong. Sex scenes are just over exaggerated that is why the story of this series did not make a perfect score from me.l I like when they include a real gay here, he is one of the best support character in this genre he really fight with his friend, FOR HIS FRIEND. The idea of they are inside a novel was really great it's unique. At the first half of the series SaifahZon got their shot but they should have more exposure. The story is fading till the end, but there is a reason for that they lack of school scenes because of the virus because they aren't aware that this will come. They don't create a perfect series but they make a better series than GMMTV. The shade argh.

Acting/ Cast - 9/10
Mi2 and SaintZee was really good. I like Mi2 than SaintZee because they are cute and there were no barrier on their relationship on the series but if you like more intense and real relationship SaintZee is a fit for you. At first i thought that this series is a jackpot because Saint came from a really successful series and he really step up from Pete to Tutor real quick he gives some thrill on his character.

Music - 9/10
How they put the music was really great and OST was really really great there's nothing i can say more of how good the music.

Rewatch Value - 9/10
This series is really good better to rewatch with one go because the plot is not one use only unlike TharnType with really great plot but you will never surprised again.

A love story to all BL’s

This show was a huge surprise to me, the premise seems silly at first but once you start watching if you love BL series you will see that this is an homage or love letter to the BL community.

It has so many nods to classic series like Sotus and even cameos from Tharntype.

The 2 main lead couples are fantastic and the actors are brilliant in the roles showing great acting and commitment to the scenes that sometimes are truly deep.

First couple Tutor and Fighter is a BL dream come true, first of all they really went all in to portray these characters giving them so many layers, passion and chemistry. Saint proves once again that he is one of the top actors in BL.

Second couple Saifah and Zon are beyond adorable and these two actors Tommy and Jimmy aka Mii2 have a great future in BL with already several projects in the works.

Overall the show is filled with beautiful moments and great iconic romantic settings.

The only thing is that you can see that many of the secondary characters had to be left behind due to the pandemic, but the show manage to give us amazing stand alone episodes of the main couples.

If you love BL series you would find this a truly amazing joy ride. Is not super serious and has a lot of funny moments.

Highly recommended.

I enjoyed every bit of this drama ... One of the best BLs ever made <3

What led me to watch this drama is a clip I came across on YouTube. I didn't think there were Asian BL series with actors openly kissing and bed scenes.

I enjoyed every bit of this show. I would have loved to watch love stories of the other couples, but I'm quite content with the two. It's true the storyline was all over the place but these two couples made it worth it. It's a good thing it's only 13 episodes.

The best thing is it's fast moving, it doesn't drag at all, and makes you look forward to the next episode.

Fighter and Tutor make the best couple. You would see the chemistry between them just from the way they would stare at each other. Oh and I loved the kiss and bed scene but most of all, I loved the kiss between Saifah and Zon in the last episode. It was worth the wait *wink wink*

I would watch it again and again, tbh. There are some scenes I would skip but compared to all the series I have watched, I would watch almost all the episodes.

Enemies to lovers, and much more.

OK first of all, let me tell you that this show got some delays in production because of COVID-19 and it kind of derail a little bit the story at the end but, overall it got the job done, so if you are interested in watching this show... watch it it’s really worth it and it’s satisfying to watch until the very end. And I think it’s much needed after this whole Covid thing that we’ve been going through. Now to the review:

The story it’s great, but it suffers due to bad execution. I don’t think the problems with the show where actually with the story itself, the problems I found where problems with production because I think they had a really good story laid out but because of the problems I mentioned before due to Covid, I think they weren’t able to trace the story as neatly as they could have. I could see that there were some parts that were cut and some parts were pieced together in like the last four or five episodes, I think in the middle there were some *moments* were left in the cutting board and I think that really hurt the story of secondary characters but, from beginning to end the story actually develops itself, sometimes rather quickly sometimes with a slow pace but, I always wanted to watch what was gonna happen next. And so will you.

OK this is a good one, the actors they were ALL GREAT, even the female actors and I usually don’t like the female actors especially if it’s a BL story I mean I just wanna watch the cute guys fall in love LOL. But these girls (Zol’s actress and Hwa’s actress) were killing it in every scene they were in. They were funny, they were interesting, they were amazing. Now, I had a problem with Zon’s actor, I don’t know why but I did not like him I mean I found him to be kind of all over the place, he made faces reacting to some things that I don’t think were right for the moments that were happening. I think Saint (Tutor’s actor, I love hiiiiim soo much) has been working on his acting a lot since his previous BL, Love by Chance, but I think that he is still trying to figure out how to cry properly in different characters, every time he was crying (maybe it was just my view of it) but I sense he was holding back a little and like trying to figure out what to do with his face a lot, but it didn’t happen all the time.

Favorites: Tutor, Fighter, Japan, Tanthai, Soda and Zen (he deserved more screentime (╥_╥) )

I really like the opening, I don’t usually like them but I actually really like this one. I don’t know why they changed it towards the middle of the show, I was like “I’m just getting used to this opening and you’re going to change it on me all of a sudden”, I don’t get that, and the rest of the music I didn’t really care for it.

I will definitely watch again in a couple months, when it’s not so fresh in my memory.

This is still cute despite visible flaws

The series is cute and lovable and the cinematography is very beautiful. The problem is the cast because some of supporting characters are still unrecognizable to me. I was still confused who is who, I only know Saint, Zee, Tommy, Jimmy, Perth and Goy. The rest, forgettable. I was really turned off everytime where there are scenes with many cringy sound effects. The production to this series in terms of effects is overdone. The last few episodes kinda turn me down but still good at the end. The soundtrack is beautiful. Story-wise, not the most concrete but still good to follow

I’m going make this simple

I can see why this is one of top BLs. I mean, it has all the qualities. Fluff, smut, parent issues, beach scene, BL fan girl you can relate to, cute characters/cast- you name it
I would 100% recommend this to watch. Although the casting could be better and I felt it was a tad confusing, the storyline was very sweet, the acting made me swoon, and so did the tension. Between Zon and Saifah, I felt like the smut scene was very forced... And why were they always going on a vacation?
Still, sweet beginning, a sweet end, and I throughly enjoyed watching it 😉👍 also I’m attracted to most of the characters. Tutor just swept me away lol
I watched this on YouTube FYI so please go see for yourself! It’s worth it
