Perfection

I think this series is sheer perfection, I don't think I can find anything wrong with this series. It made me happy and I was so sad when it ended, I definitely won't be mad if they make another season or something continuing this story.

I think Jiang is the greenest green flag that there is, honestly so is Buxia, I liked that they made them both extremely mature and they were able to talk about what was bothering them, they also couldn't stay mad at each other for longer than like a day or two. Buxia hid a secret from Jiang but what I thought made this series perfect is when Jiang found out about the secret Buxia was hiding, he didn't get mad and break up with him or leave him, he went to his sister to try to understand what it all meant and that is refreshing because usually creators like us to go through some big secret and then it leads to a breakup, sadness or revenge but this one did not. Also, I liked that when Buxia was drunk and tried to make a move on Jiang, he didn't pursue the advances because he wanted Buxia to be sober if they did it, which was refreshing. After all, usually they go down the "drunk, spicy" role and honestly, I'm not really into that because when you're drunk you can't give consent and you end up regretting it when you sober up, so I love that they didn't do that in this series. As much as I love the hot spicy scenes, I didn't mind this one not having any, but the makeout scenes made up for it. The ending, them both being each other's "Heaters" was just so good.

Overall 10/10

If you ask me what my love language is...its this series

This is the best BL that Thailand has ever put out, this series deals with the Asian Stigma that you're supposed to follow the rules and no questions asked, and it shows the kids trying to break free from that. While dealing with typical teenage things, meanwhile Ayan dealing with trying to figure out what happened to his uncle. A lot is going on but this series does it in a way that is not confusing or difficult to understand. There are also a lot of side characters but again, it's not confusing at all and you understand what is being said and you honestly fall in love with all the teenagers because you see a glimpse of their stories.

First and Koatung have to be two of the best actors to ever walk this earth, and you can't tell me otherwise. Their chemistry together is insane, they were made to act together. Both boys have so much emotional range within themselves it's crazy. They both can go from playing cute, dorky characters to dark, badass characters, in a matter of seconds. Every time they are on the screen I'm convinced that they aren't even acting, they are playing themselves, they are so comfortable on the screen together and I think the world would implode if they ever quit acting for whatever reason.

The same goes for Neo, he is a very versatile character, and he can play anything you throw at him. He can play cheesy, dorky, dopey, badass, anything and that's why he's such a good actor. He also can have chemistry with any actor as well, even if it is a female, and he never loses that charm. Pairing him with Louis was a smart choice because they both fit together just like First and Kao. I hope in the upcoming 2024, they continue to act together and bring that connection with them.

In conclusion, I think we need more BLs like this, so many try so hard to be "relatable" or they force connections between characters when we just need more like this, lot going on but we can understand it, Relatable not over the type and dramatized.

THIS is how a main lead should act

I think I like the dramas that show the backside of filming or writing BLs because as audience members we don't see that whole filming process, all we see is the final product and we don't understand that some actors just don't have natural chemistry with each other like in this series, Aoey and Sib don't have that connection like Sib does with Gene so everything is uncomfortable and that's how it is in reality, It may look like they have perfect chemistry but truth is, not everyone has that connection nor do they fell comfortable with everyone. Yes its a job and a career that they love but we have to remember that these are people, and I think this series shows us that not everything is black and white like we see on the screen.

Nubsib - He is the best character, not only in the BL universe but also in the world. Sib is so gentle with Gene, ever since he saw him at the auditions, he always had the sweetest eyes toward Gene. Sib's touches toward him are so soft and gentle like he doesn't want to hurt him, his voice is soft and slow so it doesn't seem like he's yelling at him. Sib also jokes around with Gene but does it in a way that isn't inappropriate or in any mean way. He also understands that Gene is confused and he doesn't try to force his feelings onto him or make Gene do or say anything at makes him uncomfortable. The drunk scene in episode 4 was the best-drunk scene out of any BL I have ever seen. Sib never forces himself onto Gene and most drunk scenes end up being spicy or lead to a makeout session but all Sib wants to do is take care of Gene and make sure he doesn't do anything he would regret in the morning/sober.

Gene - Up is the love of my life so naturally so is Gene, I love him. he's just a confused BL writer who doesn't understand why BL is so popular and why it needs so many NC scenes. He also likes Sib from the beginning, you can tell by his eyes but is confused and doesn't know what these feelings he is feeling mean. He also doesn't know what to do because Sib is so gentle with him that it's making him fall for him.

Aoey - I couldn't stand him, he knew that Gene and Sib had feelings for each other, and instead of backing off, he tries to manipulate them and make Gene uncomfortable. I wanted to be like, can't you find your own man?

Episode 5 - I think this episode was uncomfortable -for me at least - because I love Gene/Up and to see him being uncomfortable and upset because Sib had just confessed he liked Gene in the previous episode and then we get slammed by Aoey telling Gene to back off, made me so sad because Gene was finally realizing that he has feelings for Sib. Also, the whole scene they were shooting was uncomfortable because it was giving Ae and Pete from Love By Chance and that's all I was thinking of.

Unpopular Opinon

I like this one, I think it was very cute and enjoyable. I like a simple "fall in love at first sight" type of series. I read a few reviews saying that this series was boring and I mean, it had a few slow moments but I don't think I would classify it as boring. Then again, I like the slower-paced series and fast, quick-action-packed ones. I think it just takes a certain taste to enjoy the more calmer series. I enjoyed seeing the "Call Me By Your Name" posters around both the coffee shop and Yi's home. Maybe that was a major selling point for me because that is my favorite movie of all time and it has 3 characters from "Tin Tem Jai" and that's another one of my favorite BLs. This series had a charm to it, it reminded me of "Light On Me" from Korea, which is one of my favorite BLs, it almost gave me that innocent feel except with a little more spice.

All the characters were just adorable, I loved Jean, Chan Chao, and Pavel's character. I did like Benz and Pavel together in this series, some said that they didn't have chemistry together but I think they were sweet together. Though, after watching "Pit Babe' I can't imagine Pavel with anyone other than Pooh but for the time being, Benz and Pavel were cute. I like seeing Pavel in a cutesy role, I love him in Pit Babe but there's something about him being in a series where he's always smiling is just so good to me. I don't know why but the whole Yi & Pleng scene where they "broke up" with each other, made me all teary-eyed, I love that Tanwa was there to comfort Yi. I like Jean and Thitnuea together.

Should be called "Sky getting on Venus"

I'm so glad I had a second rewatch of this, I completely skipped out on watching episode 10, which is my favorite. This series was cute If you start at episode 7

Sky & Venus: Venus annoyed me up til episode 7, poor sky was trying to make amends for what he did in the past and he was trying to be happy and let Venus know that he cared about him and Vee was so mean to him, I do like though when Sky went silent for a while, Venus realized he could lose sky if he kept up the act he was doing. Venus also annoyed me during the special episode when Sky was sick and Vee saw the pills, instead of asking Sky what this was, he just left and ignored him. Not to mention, Sky was sick and took care of Venus when he was sick but Vee couldn't stay to ensure Sky was okay.

Janus & Bomb: These two were so funny, I love that they could care-lesswhere they did it. I like that they both didn't let Bomb's mother dictate if they dated or not and they showed her that they love each other.

Tong & Kla: These two were okay, I'm a big Max Detter fan so I loved him but after these two sorted out their differences, they were pretty cute.

This definitely had an EFFECT on me

- TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS SERIES: Rape, Bullying, Harassment, Suicide Attempt, Blood and Abuse -

Okay, this is a 3 episode series, but this did hurt me; I am glad I watched it because it's very well written and executed greatly. I cried as this series hit close to home, and I felt bad for Shin. I knew what I was going into when I started but was not prepared to see it with my eyes. You will be taken aback if you do not know what this series is about. This series shows you the power of social media and how people react in certain situations. You see it a lot in high school, but to see it in university is wild because it's crazy that adults still want to hurt others instead of just ignoring the problems and moving on but this does happen in real life so I'm thankful we get to see a BL that implements these types of topics and it was done well that it wasn't tasteless or bad.

It started cute in episode 1 and half of episode 2, aside from P'Man | When Bright and Pramote held hands, I screamed. Since the library scene when they were reading and the way they looked at each other, excuse me -BUTTERFLIES-

Shin admired Keng and was happy to get attention from him. Poor Shin didn't even know if he was gay or not yet; he just wanted to be Keng's friend because he liked him as a person. Keng was honestly annoyed that he got out, and his parents didn't understand him.

The fact that Keng hurt (R) Shin because he wanted to give him space and cared about Keng so much was wild. Keng dragged Shin around his house, beating him to death. It was so hard to see, and the fact that Shin knew what Keng was doing when he started unbuckling his pants was so heartbreaking because he didn't have any more energy to fight back. After all, he was already beaten, and the audacity that Keng had to lay in the bed with Shin and gaslight him into making it sound like it was Shin's fault, no. -All I could think about was, "Where are Shin's parents?!"

Thankfully, Shin has Pramote and Bright. They found him and helped him after he got away from Keng. I was also so happy that Shin told them who did that to him because usually, the victim doesn't want to talk about it, and sometimes, it goes unknown. Both boys were there for Shin when he was feeling so bad about himself afterward. It was so refreshing to see that they stayed friends, and even his mom got to see that he has two really good friends.

I am also happy that Shin's parents didn't get mad at him, berate him, or make him feel anymore less than he already does, his father was ready to go to war for Shin and that is so beautiful to see his parents' support Shin and making sure he is taken care of.

At the part where Keng corners Shin in the walkway and won't leave him alone and plays him the fucking clip of what he did to him, I had to turn it off for a second and cry because what the hell? Shin has a panic attack/nervous breakdown and throws up and pees himself because he's so scared of Keng, and Keng has the nerve to ask what is wrong with him. I'm so glad his friends were there to help him and Bright punched Keng, I was like "YES!"

The fact that Keng's parents didn't beat kengs ass for hurting Shin but instead offered money is so crazy to me, but unfortunately, that happens in real life too. I wish Shin's dad would've gone across the table and beat all their asses.

When he asked his mom why she couldn't let him die and the hurt on her face, again I had to pause it and cry.

I don't know what the hell the end was, and we were robbed of answers. On a lighter note, someone tell me why Sood and Top aren't in another BL series together.

Yin & War = Perfection

This version i like a lot better than the En Love one, I wish all the En Love could have their own longer series.

Mark & Vee - Mark is forever my baby but damn did these two stress me out to the max, and I don't even know why. I think it was the constant Vee not knowing how to tell Mark that he was in love with him and then not thinking about things before doing them and Mark then in turn hurting Vee because he was hurt. Both Yin and War always play their characters so well, every cry scene was done extremely well, and the way they looked at each other with pure love but neither could tell each other.

Nuea- This poor guy, just wanted to be loved by Mark, but Mark kept stringing him along and getting his hopes up instead of just telling him he liked him as a friend way before the Gear ceremony. I wish we could've gotten a longer version of En Love - Love Story because I wanted to see Nuea happy because he was one of my favorite characters

Bar & Kan- I don't know why they changed "Guns" name but nevertheless I like this version of "Gun" better, not to be mean to Win Achawin Michaels but I think Jeff played him better and he's more relaxed.

Yiwaa- She made me so mad at the beginning, she always showed up out of nowhere, and always got in the middle of Mark and Vee. She was also to blame for Mark stringing along Nuea because she always pushed Mark towards him knowing how Vee felt about Mark. All of her scenes with them just made me mad

Tee & Lee - They are still my favorite, they have been since the Gun and Bars story, I need them together in more series, they are just so funny.

Ploy - I love the actress that plays Ploy, i think Perth is just so cute and I loved her in The Middleman Love as "Jan" and then in Why R U as "Zol" but Ploy made me so mad because she was also stringing along Vee instead of just breaking up with him the moment she knew she liked Ton

7 Episodes of Chase

This show makes me so angry... I enjoyed watching it to an extent, because I like Yim & Tutor, have since Cutie Pie and I liked Yim's character in Bed Friends but their chemistry in this one felt a little off to me, I'm not sure If the characters are supposed to be a little awkward (i haven't read the novel) but Jade didn't seem like this in Bed Friends.

Jade & Mai - These two made me mad, for 7 episodes They were playing chase with each other, and then of course on the last episode we saw them being cute and cuddly and it just made me upset because I like these two together and would've like to see them in love more than one episode - I hope they get another series together soon- also the beginning of Ep 8 when they kiss, Toturs big lips devor Yim and i needed more of that.

Uea & King - I will forever love these two, I know that this show isn't about them and they were just the side helping BUT I needed more of them, just like a little more. Their spicy chemistry is next level and I wish we could've seen just a smidge more of them.

Tong & Gus - Same for these two, I have loved them together since Friends Forever but we didn't get to see much of them, I hope they can have another show together. I think what we got of them was so good and they have great chemistry

Maybe its not for everyone but its sure for me

First off, This is my second BL i've ever seen and i watched it on the Mandee Channel on youtube. i adore this story so much, its Definitley one i can put on in the background and watch.

I LOVE all the mains, Newnu, Zee, Max & Nat, They all have great charater chemistry together, i saw a video where someone was hating on Nat and it made me cry becuase he os just a little bean. Yes he always plays the cute roles but thats just his style but he does it so well, If given a bigger, more "powerful" role, he'll be able to do that too. - maybe i'm bias becuase i have the same personality as Nat.

Zee & Newnu's chemistry is literally unmatched, they have so much tention and chemistry in real l;ife (Probably because they are dating) that there on screen Chem is electric.
Max& Nat also have really good chemistry on and off screen

My favorite part(s) of the entire show is anytime Kuea changes into Kiriin because Nu looks so good in this style of clothing, and i lovehim riding the motorbike, - i'm bias because i love anything with a motor bike

LISTEN

I can't even begin to tell you how I feel about this show, This show is just perfect in all aspects....

The love scenes are done so perfectly, Both set of couples have so much chemistry towards one another in real life and on screen. The connection these Payu and Rain have during there intimacy scenes are unmatched (especially Episode 6)

The love these two couple share with one another is just beautiful, My all time favorite scene is Ep 5 where Payu sings to Rain, and rain is just staring at him in love, it just melts my heart.

I also love the split couples in this, most shows have a side couple and even a third side couple but this show splits them so we have more time to see them one on one and the relationship flourish without seeing to much information.

I've never been in love with a show more than this one

The first time I watched this show I knew id end up loving it.

Its not your average "spicy" BL that most people want, its extremely wholesome and fluffy. I love the enemies to lover with a touch of a love Triangle,

This series, is just perfectly done in my opinion, I love the bright, almost pastel color palette, the character development, the drama in the plot and the ending resolution,

I do love Spicy BL's but I think we need more of these kinds, this series is definitely rewatchable because of the fact that it just makes me happy anytime its on the screen

Even though it was made in 2021, it was my favorite of 2023

This one is so good, I went into it blind and I can say that's the first time I was pleasantly happy not knowing what was going on when I started.

Gameplay & Folk have amazing chemistry together and it shows, I really want to see them in more series together. There spicy scene was my absolute favorite for no reason, I just loved it. I'm a sucker for an enemies to lovers with a happy ending.

Play "playing" and talking to his rabbit was the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Max played the role of Chai perfectly.

The ending was perfection, I defiantly would've been even more happy with 5 more episodes but I loved it nevertheless.

Please give us Season 2, in 2024

I did a second rewatch of this show & I have a better clarity on my thoughts on this show.

Mew - Mew is easily my favorite character, even though they try to make him the "token virgin" he's much more educated and smart than you would think, starting, when you think he's going to be on this journey of losing his virginity but instead, he's smart and calculated, he doesn't stoop to anyone's level to get even but he lets them know he means business.

Ray - Ray is just your typical sad boy, who is a mess because his mom passed, his dad wasn't the warmest to him and he's in a one-sided love with his best friend. Ray only likes Mew more than a friend because Mew shows kindness to Ray in a way no one else has till Sand but Ray is afraid that if he doesn't act upon his likeness towards Mew, he might lose him. He doesn't understand that Mew will be his friend regardless. With Sand, his falling in love with him but it scares him because he doesn't want to ruin anything so he ends up self-sabotaging himself by pushing Sand away but then bringing him back because he loves him. It's not said in the show but I can see Ray as Polysexual because he said he could love more than one person at once. It was kind of sad seeing Ray not stopping him when Mew wanted to try all these bad things because again Ray was afraid Mew would get mad and leave him.

Ray & Mew - If this was a different universe & series, I could see Ray & Mew as a couple in multiple shows because they do have good chemistry together and their club scene after Top was honestly hot.

Sand - Sand is just trying to survive and make money for himself to reach his dreams but got sucked in back Ray & is falling in love and it's scaring him because he knows how Ray is. I do like how he's smart and doesn't fall directly into Ray, he thinks things through but he can't get past Ray's puppy eyes.

Ton - Boston is your typical "I get what I want" person and he doesn't feel any sympathy for anyone else feelings, like what he did to Mew, Ray had to say "Aren't you going to say sorry" and he just said "sorry" because he felt he had to, but he never said he was completely sorry for what he did to Mew. However, when Mew threatened him with the clip, he knew that Mew held power and could ruin him at any second. He also didn't understand that Top didn't want him anymore so he should've just moved on, More or less did with Nick but he knew Nick was Falling for him and he kind of used it, he would say sweet things to Nick so he would stay and sleep with him, and he sleeps with Cheum'a brother knowing that people he sleeps with falls in love with him and he just can't see that he has that power.

Top - Top is just top, he fell in love with Mew right from the start but instead of just saying goodbye to Boston, he kept letting him get closer, he knew that Boston didn't want them together but Top believed what he said about Ray & Mew instead of just asking him. He also couldn't leave Mew alone to let him get over what Top did or just try to have a normal conversation, he kept following him and being there when Ray was there knowing that Ray hated him.

Cheum - This poor girl was just trying to live happily with her girlfriend, but instead she got roped in the middle of all her friend's drama and problems, how she didn't just say "screw" all of you and left is crazy to me

I honestly dropped it for this reason

Okay, I wasn't going to talk about this series because it honestly just annoys me but here I am.

This series is listed as a BL, it also has "Gay Romance" & "LGBTQ" in the tags under this show on Mydramalist. Here's my problem for those who haven't seen it. It's 100%, not a BL (We have two eps left so they could throw it in there At the last minute or not) but it's borderline bromance but more of a one-sided crush.

I think it annoys me because if you take away the excitement of the BL aspect, it's a decent little high school Japanese drama. When you throw at us that it's a BL and "Gay Romance" we who love BLs are going to assume it's a BL, you cant even call it a bromance because the other guy looks like he has no interest in the one who has the crush. I definitely would have liked it a lot more if it was just considered a J-Drama and you took away the tags and the BL concept.

I don't use the word "Queerbating" loosely but that's what you could depict from this series, now I'm not denying that the one who has a crush is part of the lgbtq community, that's not the problem. The problem lies with it being called a BL, if you aren't going to give us BL ( BL means, physical intimacy (i.e kissing and such) and confessions), you can't label it a bromance either (Bromance means a close relationship between two males without confessions or physical intimacy) This series gives neither of those. They are just two boys who are simply best friends.
