Badly concluded.

I only watched it for two reasons: 1, because my friend said it was very crack!fic and funny. 2, I really liked the cast.

Well, it was fun and kind of crack!Fic. The show could have been great if they didn’t mess up in the last 2 episodes. I don’t know if it was because of Covid, but that end was ridiculous… nonsensical. Like, how can that be the explanation for everything Tonhon had done? Like, really? His dad was a homophobe and Tonhon was an ass.

We knew from the first time that he liked Chonlatee. I mean, no one is this jealous of a “brother”, but the explanation was totally awful. How can they say Tonhon acted like that because he liked Chonlatee so much? Do you all think we are stupid?

Anyway, I liked the Mike/TopTap relationship better. I wished that Chonlatee would stay with Na (or someone else).

Overall, funny tropes, good cast, but very bad on figuring out some things. Most of the Thai BLs don't know how to work on certain topics.

Wish for Pod/Khao to have another show together. They deserve something better, but after the not-so-good reviews, I don’t think GMM will give them a chance.

BK+PP

I'm finally done watching the BKPP project. I watched the special and the documentary.

Technical part: I can't deny that ITSAY was much better. P'Boss' vision is perfect. The details, the position of the camera, the angle of the actors. IPYTM wasn't bad on the technical side, but I found it a little more “simple” for what the story is. I identify more with P’Boss style as I also like the long shots over too many cuts. I think sometimes if you “break” too much, it is never with the same emotion.

Plot: For people who said the story is bad, I bring news... Clearly, the plot still features BKPP. We know that a lot of things actually happened, and real-life is not a Disney tale. Even if you love someone, you can have a crush on someone else (I'm not saying I accept to cheat on others), but what Teh felt there was crush/horniness. The break-up was necessary so that Oh-aew could also learn to love himself. Love yourself so that you don't depend on the love of others.

Another thing was to show the importance of how we learn from our mistakes. Teh had a dream and he couldn't understand how other people gave up on a dream easily. Teh was angry, sad, hurt, but when it happened to him, everything changed and he understood. Nothing like growing up.

Oh-aew needed to find himself. I still don't know if Marketing/Advertising is going to be something forever, but that's where he found himself the most. I also need to add that Oh-aew has the best friends and there is no such thing as him being better than Teh as a person, but each one has a way of expressing themselves differently.

Teh had a hard time understanding what he's feeling. And that's why he had difficulties in expressing himself. One thing I found extremely important was for them to recognize that they need to communicate. I see this in BLs and in real life, a lot would be avoided if people communicated more.

Overall, yes real life sucks, but I'm happy with the way the show ended and I enjoyed the second season.

And both parts have an amazing soundtrack. I’m spending hours listening to it. I loved their sweet honey voices, and when they sing together, it is beautiful.

Didn’t know about Nadao Bangkok, but I’m glad I had the chance to watch a project from them. Can’t wait for more.

I loved it!

I'm also biased because I love Dr. Sammon's plots.

Fluke is an amazing actor that can incorporate any character (his and Gun Atthaphan's acting are always spectacular) and his chemistry with Judo was perfect.

The series was light and fun. I laughed a lot because I also love crack!fic/series. I also shed a tear with mothers. Such a heartbreaking moment.

It's sad that it wasn't marketed internationally as I think it would have been more successful.

I hope we can see more Fluke and Judo in other series but I would also love to see a BL where Judo and Nike are a couple.

Amazing!

Since I started watching Thai BLs, I haven't shed a single tear, but with this one, I lost count on how many times I cried.

Let me start talking about the technical part of the series.

From the beautiful scenery to the plot/acting. Wow… I have never seen a Thai BL like this. Every shot, every color, every little detail, every music… Everything was very well thought out and chosen. It is no surprise that it is being nominated and winning several awards not only in Thailand.

Each scene matched the acting, the setting, the music, and the clothes. I was speechless. This project deserves to be sold internationally, should be on Netflix in other countries. Come on LineTV…

The team behind this project must be very proud. You can see that they believe in it for the passion, the dedication that they put there.

The script was very well developed and the actors delivered the scene as expected. I can also add that it was the only Thai BL where the entire cast performed in sync.

Generally, the second season of BLs is always a problem and I know from the original team only 1 writer remained on the project and P’Boss stayed on as producer and not as director.

What an amazing chemistry

--------------
“Basically, it’s a fluffy, feel good chicken noodle soup for the soul during these difficult times. So give Why R U a chance while deep in your quarantine.” - Quote from Film Daily.
-------------
I know the show is kind of a mess and probably missed so many things because of Covid and I agree with the quote above.

As some of us know, they were in the middle of filming episode 6 when Covid started and while I believe they shouldn't have aired the episodes while they were still filming the show, I don't know what their plans were if there was no Covid. Still a little confused about what the show was about, but I thought it was funny.

I read that some fans were upset because the show was about SaifahZon, but were overshadowed by TutorFighter. Like I said, I don't know what they were planning or if TutorFighter really should be a secondary main couple...

I don't know if it was intentional, but Zee's "gay panic" face every time Saint got closer to him was amazing. I believe, by the amazing chemistry they were showing, they had a lot of workshops to build the character and this chemistry.

Unlike Saint and Zee, Tommy and Jimmy knew each other before because they belong to the same agency. So they were more comfortable with each other and their kissing scenes felt more natural cof *tongue* cof.

Another thing that I liked about the show is that FighterTutor are a versatile couple, which we just don't see much in BL. The project was sold as 18+ for good reason. I love it when actors are not afraid and give everything to the character/scene. They trusted each other and the project and worked really hard.

I have a feeling that this project was Saint’s last BL show as an actor. I will see if the novel is ready and translated to have an idea of what they were looking for.

Funny and sweet

I was trying to avoid the GMM TV shows because they are so ridiculous in terms of how they treat actors.

The amount of fanservice disgusts me, so when I decided to watch FUTS, I was open-minded to a mediocre script and not letting the actors develop their skills... With that in mind, I was able to enjoy the show.

It was even fun the fourth wall. I'm suspicious of commenting as I love it when they break the fourth wall (but you have to know how to use this).

Mix's character was cute. Sometimes he reminded me of Tian before he became a teacher.

The main couple have good chemistry. And the secondary couple, I thought they shouldn't have become a couple. They would be better off if they remained friends.

So the fact that they had to "create drama" for contractual reasons really let me down. You can clearly see that they were forced to include a drama as they left it to the last episode and it lasted half a second. Completely unnecessary.

MockPi gave me diabetes. They were so sweet.

Overall, the show is really cute for anyone who wants to relax and have fun. I really like Aof and I was very happy to see him doing a show as a producer. I believe that being well regarded and recognized by the company gives him the chance to be creative and take risks.

Best ever!

I've watched season 2 four times and I can't get enough.

I was surprised watching a Taiwanese BL as I had never seen anything from Taiwan so I didn't know what to expect.

In the first few minutes of Part 1, I thought it would be a crack! Fic, but I was amazed by the direction the series took. A good direction, as the plot was planned for both seasons. This is great because they know where to go, what to do, and how to act.

Sam and Yu managed to get the message across without being forced. They support each other, and they take care of their well-being. Their chemistry is beautiful, as the viewer can identify the pain, the care, the passion.

I was also happy to see a TV show where it doesn't matter who you choose to love. We had 3 couples with completely different stories.

Liu Bing Wei and Shi Zhe Yu were unexpected. We had a brief idea of them in the first part. With Zhe Yu having a crush on Shi De and Bing Wei finding out (? maybe he knew already) he likes Zhe Yu. And in the end, when everybody was surprised to see them together, I can say that we, viewers, were also surprised. In some scenes, we noticed the affection Bing Wei had for Zhe Yu, but I didn't take it too seriously, because Bing Wei is a sweetheart to everyone.

So when they came back in the second part with a solid relationship for the last 5 years, I was surprised, but I thought it was cute. The marriage proposal was also a good idea. Hope we can see more of them in season three. I know Evan and Richard were doing a lot more in their workshop than what was shown in the scenes.

In the beginning, Pei Shou Yi and Yu Zhen Xuan made me a little uncomfortable, mainly because of their past, but in the end, I was finding everything beautiful. I still think they didn't explain Pei Shou Yi's illness very well. He had a peculiar way of treating his patients and only, later on, we found out he also has a similar disease as Zhen Xuan. Let's see what they will bring to Season 3.

And of course Gao Shide and Zhou Shuyi. First, learn to communicate. Second, Zhou Shu Yi’s dad was a very unexpected addition and I laugh a lot. I felt so bad for Shi De in part 1. Like, I hate to see someone humiliate themselves for others... Like, appreciate yourself, babe. But he won in the end.

And Shu Yi was clueless for so long. Happy that he could figure it out sooner than later.

One thing that I like about We Best Love, is how hard they worked on the workshops, how dedicated they were to building the character. I can’t wait for season 3.

Great plot, but poorly written.

Oh boy, what an adventure. I know this show got lots of fans, but mostly for the cast in my opinion.

I would like to blame the director for the acting issue. I won’t say that they are bad actors, but their acting was very forced sometimes while without expression in others.

Fluke is really good. I was shocked at how easily he cries and how he can pass that shy/depressed/confused boy. He reminded me of Gun Atthaphan. Both started acting young, so they got experience… Fluke carried all his scenes with Ohm on his back.

Ohm has potential, but he needs to improve his acting skills. Watching him and Fluke acting was hard, because you can see Fluke doing a lot, for both, and this is not good. I can see that Ohm had some difficulties in understanding his character.

I know they are going to do another show, so I hope Ohm has a chance to study more and get better. If not, he will always be the “good looking guy that can’t act but is there for his appearance” check CW/Warner shows.

Earth/Cooheart (I think he changed his name) is good. I think he did a decent job, but I won't lie, I skipped most of his scenes because I found the character very annoying. I can't stand people who force themselves on others.

Kao surprised me because he had amazing chemistry with Earth. They were so good acting together, yet outside the show, they were just working colleagues. But that hasn't changed the way they acted together. For me, it shows that you understood the job and the character.

BounPrem / WinTeam my babies. I was so in love with them and their story. They were the reason I kept watching the show. I liked that Win wasn’t afraid to say to Team what he was feeling and not even pretend who he was. Win stereotype would be seen as someone who could never be in a relationship, let alone a relationship with a man. And Team also learned how to be more open, but please the amount of chips he consumed the whole series made me worried about his health, lol.

Overall: Great plot, but poorly written. They didn’t know how to use it, so I was bored most of the time and had very slow pacing. I found myself looking for more WinTeam scenes than DeanPharm. And I can't wait for “Between Us”.
