Overhated

Honestly, for being a thai bl from 2019 from gmmtv, it was wayy better than I expected.

Pretty much all of the characters were well written and the actors acted their roles exceptionally well, especially Off and Gun. The storyline progression and the conflict actually made sense unlike some of the bls I've watched. I actually think this is written better than some of the recent gmmtv bls.

The first half of the series is kinda painful to watch but it's so worth it because of Khai's redemption arc in the second half of the series. The storyline and the directing are really good if we compare it to some of the other bls from that time like 2gether and tharntype. And its actually funny most of the times. Though the funniest part of this series has to be from Two's speech in ep12 where he said that he was from Thailand AND EVERYONE CLAPPED!? That was the most unintentionaly funny scene I've ever seen. I know my sence of humor is broken.

I feel like people didn't give this a fair chance because of all the crying that Third did in the first 5-6eps because of Khai. I suggest if anyone's gonna watch this series, watch it with an open mind. Yes, their friendship was toxic and Khai himself was very toxic but he changed. And its not a case of 'Third's love magically fixed him' but more of a his love for third and his respect for him made him want to be a better person and genuinely change his ways and behavior to become a better version of himself. But of course no one can change completely overnight and neither did Khai so it did lead to a few problems later on. But he learned to deal with it properly especially in the special ep. And that is why their relationship is so beautiful and real.

I do firmly believe that this series deserves a higher rating than 7.9. It's not the best but it is definitely one of the best of it's kind. This side characters were also nice (except a few things here and there but i mostly didn't pay much attention to their storyline so idc). Overall, you're definitely gonna love this if you're a romcom fan cause this really makes you feel all kinds of emotions in the course of 12 ep (+special ep).

Season 1 was better

Honestly I feel like a s2 was not really needed since the main conflict of the story was already resolved in s1. Even if they decided to make another season there should have been more focus on PickRome relationship than the other couple. Honestly the inclusion of Friend and Night was just unnecessary and took up too much screentime. Night was just boring (sorry Krist) and Friend was too cilngy and annoying. They completely ruined Emma's and Porsche's relationship. Like Emma told Rome that she's always free but still can't visit her boyfriend even though she has a car. And Porsche was just really depressing this season like where is that happy and energetic guy from s1? The one we all knew and loved?? But his character change does make sense since he grew up, has relationship problems and has to work in a place away from his friends and family so idk what I'm mad about. I just loved this guy too much to see him be this sad so i am glad that he at least has Friend but his side as a friend. That's why I love the last ep since it has the same lighthearted and fun vibe that s1 had with everyone happy in it. Also there were wayyy less Emma and Rome interactions than s1 and i was very disappointed since that was the thing I loved the most about s1.

Pick and Rome's story was less problematic than i had thought it was going to be. And i LOVE how confident Rome is in his sexuality. They were honestly the only reason I even decided to watch this show so i am not that dissapointed. Some conflicts were unnecessary but overall it was ok. Would not rewatch this tho.

It's not the best but still quite fun

The main highlight of this show was the friendship between Emma and Rome.The pIot was relatively simple since there were only six episodes.

The directing and the production were lacking quite a bit and the script was not their strongest suit since some of the sequence of events did not really make sense but the actors and their characters made up for it. Emma and Rome definitely have one of the best male-female friendship that ive seen in a thai drama. Their dynamic is just so fun to watch that id rewatch this show just for them.

P'Porsche and P'Pick were honestly kinda creepy in the beginning but you slowly came to love them by the end especially P'Porsche. I just love how happy and bubbly he is. Overall it's fine to watch when you're in the mood for 2016 nostalgia but otherwise the tropes are quite dated.
