DEFINITELY worth giving a try

This is probably my favorite MaxNat series they've done so far.

The main concern I had going into it was the confusing plot line from the trailer but watching the series there is little/no confusion for the most part. After setting things up in the first two episodes with explanation of the two parallel worlds, the rest of the series is pretty straight forward. The pacing could've been better and is probably my biggest complaint, especially in the last episode, I felt this series needed two more eps because I feel we didn't get much time with the second couple and some other things could've been a bit more fleshed out.

I was a bit hesitant about how Nat's acting would be with this new partner but Nat and Gun's chemistry is great to start out with, not awkward at all; very well done. There are some moments where Nat falls short in certain scenes but overall I see great improvement with him especially in later eps. On the other hand I wholeheartedly enjoyed Max as W1 and W2 Tai and would definitely like to see him play more diverse roles like this.

I loved the gradual build up of chemistry between Max and Nat's characters Tai and Kram. Those two are absolute sweethearts and a couple worth rooting for a happy ending.

EXCITING AND SEXY

This is the type of BL that feels similar to a wattpad fanfic with the amount of trauma the main character goes through. Whether that’s good or bad is up to you, I personally enjoy it because there's never a dull or boring moment. I enjoy how they chose to resolve the conflict and the way they handled the trauma with Uea in the end, I was worried in the beginning but they handled it surprisingly, very well and they are doing a pretty good job serving justice and punishing those who deserve it.

I absolutely love a good "friends with benefits" and "enemies to lovers" concept. This show has been extremely sexy with two actors who have fantastic chemistry in this series. They fit so well together and compliment each other very well both in aesthetics and personality.

I know originally this was supposed an 8 episode series and initially I thought its too short to properly resolve everything but honestly I would've been fine with episode 8 being the finale. A lot of my initial concerns and questions have been resolved and answered and I like the extra scenes they put into the last two episodes to really wrap things up.

I'm Surprised I Finished the Series

Never did I ever think I'd come back and finish this series and never did I ever think I'd rate a BL series so low.
The positive first. I love the actors in this series and I adore the chemistry (or what little they gave us of it) Man and Ben are able to create through their characters in this show. I can only hope that they get another series together with a better relationship. The only thing keeping me going for the majority of this series was the second couple but I shouldn't be putting all my focus on the second couple, I should be rooting for the main characters who mid way through the series I could care less about...
Now for the negative.
My god, we started out with such a promising storyline but episode after episode I wonder does Pat even like Jeng, more episodes go by and my patience is STRUGGLING. I don't mind a slow burn but you can't have a slow burn if there's nothing to burn! There's just little to no relationship in existence for the majority of this series; the pacing in this show really got the best of me.
I'm usually very lenient in my ranking and neutrally enjoy almost anything, all I ask for just some kind of acknowledgement of any sort of feelings, but instead we get radio silence for all of 8-ish episodes with no relationship progress whatsoever.
And just when I'm about to give up Episode 9 rolls in and we're finally getting some where, but alas this series is only 12 episodes so too little, too late. Episode 10 was lovely but it should've happened 5 or 6 episodes ago so we can truly explore the relationship and properly deal with conflicts not shove them all in last minute. Maybe I'm too impatient but this series was truly a waste of time and a waste of talent to me

I'm surprised I really like it

I wasn't sure I would enjoy this drama all that much, as I wasn't all that invested in the second couple during Cutie Pie but was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoy MaxNat's chemistry in this series way more than I did in Cutie Pie.

This show reads as more of a romcom to me, I think there's more comedic value to the series than I was expecting. I appreciate the fact that they bring child adoption into this series. I feel like I've never really seen that conversation in BL before and I also like how they keep the conversation of same sex marriage positive and hopeful for the future in Thailand in a lot of these Domundi series. I like the set up of episode 1, it might be a bit boring in the beginning but I like all the call backs of their events in Cutie Pie and Cutie Pie 2 You for those who may have forgotten or never finished watching that series, they'll be able to pick up and follow along with this show. It wasn't until end of episode 1 and going into episode 2 that I personally really start to get invested with this show. I thought I might start to get annoyed with the flashbacks by episode 2, but they eventually start clearing up some confusion I had surrounding this couple and the ending was chefs kiss for me.

The only thing I dislike is the same thing I disliked in Cutie Pie which is a big portion of the conflict centering around lack of communication and misunderstandings.

Side Note: Their uncut NC scene in episode 6, ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. It was beautiful, realistic and honestly I never expected Max and Nat to go there; they went there and DELIVERED

Definitely Worth Giving a Try

Honestly, I went in with the lowest of low expectations. I do like MeenPing but AiLongNai kinda fizzled out halfway through for me. I've never seen a Thai adaptation for BL manhwa before and I know Korean adaptations of BL manhwa usually only cover half the story anyway so I wasn't expecting much, BUT HOLY DID THEY PROVE ME WRONG!
I usually don't like action romance but this one seems to balance both very well, the set up of the characters was interesting and their interactions are really cute. They really stepped it up this time around and I have little to no complaints about the show so far other than the fact that this series is only 8 eps.

Fun Summer Romance Series

I really enjoy this. It is kind of a pure romance story which I always enjoy the most out of BL series, I know some people don't like pure romance because of the "lack of plot" but I personally enjoy a simple plot that solely focuses on the development of just the romance in a relationship.

For the positives:
- I absolutely love the scenery. The location they chose to shoot this series is beautiful.
- As per usual, FortPeat chemistry does not miss! As each ep passes it just get better and better.
- I like that Peat's character, Tongrak is older in this show and rich. He seems like a spoiled brat used to getting everything he wants so I'm looking forward to seeing how that pans out. Also I'm obsessed with his look, his wardrobe is everything.
- I love the banter and contrast between the characters. Tongrak is so stubborn, spoiled and petty, while Mahasamut seems very happy, playful and annoying (possibly on purpose). Tongrak seems to keep his heart locked up tight, he's very cold and guarded so I'm most looking forward to seeing his journey and hopefully seeing him open up more.
- I also really enjoyed the music and vibe of this series, especially the song that plays over the end credits

I'm anticipating the GL couple, Mook seems like a naive, pushover whereas Vi is similar to Tongrak in that she comes off as sort of a bitch but I strangely like that she seems to enjoy teasing Mook. I'm hoping she develops into a more likable character. I hope these two have more chemistry than Aya had with her previous partner in Wedding Plan.

Negatives:
- I half didn't care for the way they went about Tongrak's trauma but I did enjoy the way in which is was resolved and how everything ended.
- The girls did not serve in this series which is a shame because I thought they had phenomenal chemistry in the Special Episode so I find it very weird the way they went about their relationship in the series.

Since this is a MAME series I already expected very spicy scenes, lots of great chemistry and potentially some form of trauma that needs resolving. its a fun, light hearted, summer romance and the story has picked up TREMENDOUSLY in ep 3.

A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITED

This is by far one of the best non BL shows I've seen from GMMTV, its definitely in my top 5 from them. My only complaint is that it HAS to be a crime that this show is only 4 episodes. I loved everything about it from the characters to the storyline. The horror isn't too much just enough, although it can get a little bloody for anyone sensitive to blood.
How dare they make the first season only 4 episodes?! And I say first season with confidence because they better have a season 2 with the way things were left off or else you'll find me rioting in the streets of Thailand in front of GMM headquarters!

I think my hopes were way too high...

Coming off of Love In The Air a lot of friends online recommended this series to me and hyped it up (maybe too much) because I mentioned LITA being one of my favorites solely because of the chemistry between the characters. I typically don't mind plot holes in a series if the Romance and Chemistry between the couples carry. First 4 episodes into KP and I’m kind of bored ands uninterested in the mafia violence stuff. Maybe I just don't enjoy too much action in "Action Romance" genre in BL all that much. I'll still finished this series because I do enjoy the Romantic moments between the couples and the different dynamics each of them have. The NC scenes were WILD and I'm not sure if I like them or not. I know a lot of people like to slander a series because of abuse, non consent, etc. I typically don't mind if this is the main point of conflict in a series that's trying to get resolved. One could argue there might be too many conflicts that are trying to be resolved in this series and the abuse, SA, and lack of consent don't seem to be any of them.
I think overall, I'm just kind of neutral about this series. If I went it with less expectations maybe I would've enjoyed it a bit more

Not Like the Webtoon but somewhat better

I know a common complaint is that in this drama they’ve added things that weren’t originally in the webtoon but honestly these things gave some of the characters more depth that they previously lacked in the webtoon, especially Suho’s character (which I actually wasn’t a fan of in the webtoon but absolutely love in the drama). In the webtoon the female lead is always hiding bare face, even after she graduates high school she's still paranoid and hiding her bare face from people, so its a nice change of character in the drama that they make her gradually more confident both with and without makeup to the point where she's even stranding up to her oppressors.
The webtoon wasn't complete when they filmed this and the author did come up with different character endings from the webtoon. But the story of an insecure girl that goes through some sort of beauty transformation has been told many times before and it’s nothing new as is the typical love triangle but if you enjoy those traits then True Beauty will be very fun and entertaining to watch.

Such a great start

Honestly I'm just here to say I wholeheartedly appreciate a feminine gay man as the lead role and not a side character.
He's cute, he's sassy and seductive. He reminds me of Uea from Bed Friend serving it down look after look with the upmost confidence and I'm absolutely loving every minute of it.

This first episode was so tasteful and easygoing, I love the "messy" drama so far, I'm enjoying the characters of the two main leads, the NC scenes were well placed and made sense. This series is kind of a strange cross between the vibe of Only Friends and Bed Friend (concept-wise at least)
