Horribly not funny

The only good thing about this series was Lee Long's comedic timing, he's got a knack for that for sure... that was also the only thing that made me laugh tho... All in all this series is trying way too hard to be funny - but it's not.
I kept fast forwarding just to have it behind me (and to watch a bit more Lee Long). I really need him in some quality series, it's starting to feel like a curse or something, considering that this was a fast-forward watch, and that I couldn't even do that with that other "funny" drama, where Frank is a new butler? I can't even remember the name of that...

I am all up for comedy, but this was not it...

Better than expected

This was better than expected, but overall it's still an average, typical thai romcom BL.

Let me start with this: I am SO glad that Supanut was not in this series, because I was able to focus on the cast (unlike in Pit Babe, where I only saw, felt, loved, hated Way, thanks for that Nut)...

All in all, I already kind of made notes of Benz, Sailub and Lee in Pit Babe, so I was happy to see all of the here.

CAST:
I loved everyone, except Pon's character... I think I've seen almost all of Pon's work, and I yet have to see a character of his that I like. Nothing against Pon, he is OK, but his characters just irritate me...

The rest, I was having a blast with. Benz is a new addition to my fav list, and I loved Methas so much! His happy smile was everything, I would re-watch the whole series just to see him happy again. Benz's acting is very very balanced, I loved watching all of Methas' sides (loved how layered this character was, not the usual black and white villain).

Garfield took me in fast too, surprisingly, because in Pit Babe he was a bit meh for me, but loved him here. His acting and their chemistry with Benz was FIRE...

Sailub, OMG I already loved Alan but Oab? His acting was just sooooo on point, his range of emotions he can display only with his eyes is amazing, and he's got great comic timing too. Another addition to my fav actor list.

Lee... I just love him. I need to see him in a lead role, any role (REALLY looking forward to I am the most beautiful count). SO TALENTED, I'd say second best to Supanut in this bunch (fight me, idc but Supanut is a superior actor, and not just under Change2561 but all in all, and no one can convince me otherwise).

STORY:
It was ok, there were some scenes I cringed or just fast forwarded a bit (boring, filler etc etc), but I am glad I watched this series, it did make me laugh and I enjoyed it.
The first few episodes were a bit of a drag, but once they got into the stories, it picked up.

Despite the averageness, I still think Change2561 is producing quality stuff, the direction is ok, picture and sound too, and music was also ok, esp the songs not sung by the cast members... (sorry, but I will never understand why the thai BL industry must force these boys to sing, even the ones, who CAN'T... it should be normalized for these boys / men to NOT sing).

The main couple had one problem for me: Wan... his character REALLY irritated me, but Pon and Sailub's chemistry was great, and it helped a lot tbh, but not enough apparently, because the second couple took the show for me, I ADORED them every second they were on screen.

Sorry for the messy review, it's almost midnight and I just finished watching it.
