Ok so as always with my reviews, this is gonna include spoilers and I will first go through the things I liked and then through some things I didnt like.

Positives

1. The flow of the story
The flow of this story just seemed so natural, nothing seemed rushed or weirdly out of place. It was easy and fun to follow along. One understood the characters actions and their development wasn't brushed over but properly done.

2. THE COUPLES

Omg yes. All of the couples are sweet and cute together.
Let me go through them.
Duen and Bohn : I think its fair to say that their were kind of the main couple ( even so all the others got a good amount of screen time ) But those two are who started it all. This couple does something I at first didnt like as much but started to find very interesting throughout the series.
Usually when pairing Bl characters if one is quite childish/ immature ( usually the bottom ) the other one is quite calm and mature or calm and strict. But here they were like nope, we are making both of those guys really childish and immature in their own ways. Duen is quite inexperienced in relationships and is also really immature when it comes to handling his partner ( This means he never really gets when his partner is jealous or when he oversteps with being super close to other people. He is still really innocent that way) . He is also really insecure which actually surprised me ( this was only revealed later) but it made some of his aversion to contact and spending time with his partner make so much sense. He didnt want Bohn to get too close to him as he was afraid he would then notice he isn't that great and leave him.
OK now Bohn he is also super childish but in a boyish way. He loves teasing and pranks and doesn't really know when he takes it too far. He has a bad handle on his emotions and usually shows his dissatisfaction by sulking in a corner.
At some points of this series I didnt quite like this pairing as their combined childishness led to repeated problems like jealously in their relationship.
But I have to say it was so interesting to watch and especially in the last episode one can really see growth in both characters. Bohn owns up to his mistake without making a show of it and Duen opens up about his insecurity about their relationship. If this was the only couple on the show, it might have gotten too much but the way the story is build it never gets overwhelming.
It also really gives the watcher a good lessons about prober communication with their partner.
Another thing I really like was their problems never lasted ages. Yes jealously was repeated but it was isolated incidents with consequences. I hate it when the couple show a problem the first episode and it just drags on without being solved. Their try to solve problems and then get into little fights and solve again.
Even the last (big fight/break up) didnt last long which I loved for that couple ! Because the break up and fast getting back together made so much sense with both of their characters.
I am really looking forward to season 2 and the contained growth they still have to go through.
The relationship isn't perfect, its actually far from it. But the characters aren't either and it shows that two imperfect people can create something just because they like each other even if it is difficult and they have to change some things.

OK now Mek and Boss :
MY HEART :) These two are so adorable. Like Men you have all my heart. I felt him hurting whenever Boss needed help in his relationship or courting of Fon and the acting was amazing. And yes the voice over can get annoying. ( If anyone doesn't know the actor of Mek is chinese and his voice was dubbed over) But I feel like if one just goes with it, then it doesnt disturb the viewing experience. However as I am a native German and we just adore dubbing all english things into german I am also kind of used to this kind of voice over.
Ok back to the couple. I loved them. They never faced a big problem and the way the got together was just so great. And the Boss revealed he also had feelings. I was just swooning. They are so prefect for each other and seem to comfortable with each other. The typical best friends to love. The ending problem was so relatable and solved so sweetly. I won't say too much but I also enjoyed their scenes. And lets just say them dancing with each other was too cute. Iconic i might even say.

Frong and Thara :
I need more. Thats all I can say. I love both characters. They are both quite mature but both have their own burdens.
They aren't that far along yet so I am hoping for more development in season 2. However I just have to say. YOU FEEL THE CHEMISTRY ! Like they way they look at each other ... one can just feel they already started to develop feelings.
They are slowly getting closer and my heart was beating in the last episode when they took the cutest photo ever. I like that they didnt rush an ending for them as it would have felt weird with their characters. I also love that we learn about their family backgrounds and see where they are coming from.
Also i just love how everyone has a unique personality and one can see each person and learn something new.

OK Now to the KINGS: RAM and KING ( get it KINGS )
This is most peoples fav couple. And even though I think all couples in this series have their merit. I have to agree.
These two what can I say. Amazing. And Perth the person who plays Ram has a youtube channel. So if you can't get enough of him check that out.
I dont wanna spoilt this couple but lets just say Ram has three huskies and Kind lets them stay at his house even though he is terrified of dogs. They play with kids.
They have to cutest development and you can see how they strata to trust each other. They both change each other.
And the ending .. The KISS I AM DEAD.
I heard that in season 2 they will be the main couple which yes please. Since they also have their own novel.
So they have an open ending but with season 2 on the horizon i will perfectly content.

3. The friend groups
Each friend group was cute and nice. I especially love the girl and I relate so much. She should really get a Bf in season 2 :) She was just really funny.

4. The humor
There were parts were I really had to laugh in this series. The humor isn't relying completely on overacting but also on just some solid story based comedy. I have to say Ram and his I am not talking attitude made me brats out laughing so many times. Also Bohn and Duen.

5. Serious topics
There are some more serious topics discussed without it dragging the series into something extremely serious. Topics like cancer, loosing a parent or a parents affair and the afflictions that can have on the kid are shown.
I really wanna commend this series for bringing up new and insetting topics.

OK The negatives :
I was annoyed with bohn und duen sometimes. Especially Duen as I just didnt get why he was not nice to his bf even after he agreed. However most of these concerns disappeared after the last episode as I got to understand the character more.

The flashbacks of Ram and King were cute but a bit unnecessary. (and yes i am trying to find straws right now)

All in all it is a fun BL to watch and it was honestly this and EN of love which got me back into watching BL and gave me hope for 2020 Bl. If you are wondering what I though of other Bls released this years. Just check my other reviews.
IN the end : WATCH THIS FOR A GOOD TIME :)
