Overall Enjoyable BL

This is one of my first BLs so I can't comment much on it as a BL, but the storyline is not the most creative, the usual high school setting. However, I did like the style of acting in Aoki (exaggerated expressions) as I thought it was quite cute. I love love love the ending song, 'Secret Touch' by Snow Man. There wasn't any particularly impressive acting throughout the series but it was passable imo, lines are not as forced as some of the BLs I've watched. I just wish that it was a little longer so they could maybe get into the backstories of the characters a little more (family etc.)

All in all, Kieta Hatsukoi is a relatively lighthearted and cute drama that I would watch again just to squeal at the sweet romance:)

I've re-watched this 3 times already, what more is there to say?

What a beautiful movie. Even though I found the beginning quite slow, in general, it's a pretty chill movie. The OST is exquisite, and I'm not even a BTS fan. It tied in very well with the overall drama and was used in the right places as well. The movie gets better and better towards the end as more emotions are shown. The overall storyline was great, but not spectacular or new imo. But in this movie I really just loved how you can see how both characters loved each other and it really warmed my heart(literally melted it into a goopy puddle). I don't want to give spoilers but I really recommend you watch this movie, 100% not a waste of time!

Writing to raise the criminally low ratings

ERM 8.2 for this masterpiece?? NOT ON MY WATCH.

ITSAY is a classic, a must-watch ThaiBL for good reason. It has heart wrenching and artistic scenes with gorgeous cinematography. It makes you feel and then go numb after simply because you fall into post-drama depression. It is a true masterpiece in terms of acting, music, cinematography which is EXTREMELY rare to find in ThaiBLs.

The only reason ITSAY gets 9.5/10 and not 10/10 is cos I'm anal and refuse to believe anything can be perfect (Although ITSAY, honestly is to closest thing to perfection imo)

Amazing Plot, Questionable Execution

The reincarnation storyline in this drama may very well be one of the most interesting ones I've seen for a BL (Since there really isn't much diversity). However, even though I had high hopes for this drama, it fell short of my expectations.

Pros:
1) Great storyline idea (Reincarnation)
2) Cute Side Couple (Team and Win ahhhh)
3) Good acting in some scenes (Particularly Pharm in the last epi)
4) Nice music use (esp in first epi around the start). I really like the acapella song in the first epi, brought me to tears though it did get slightly irritating in later scenes.
Cons:
1) Main couple's acting was quite flat, esp Dean IMO. His face didn't really move much throughout the entire show? But his character did not really have much personality so :/ Pharm did relatively well considering the fact that he had to do so many crying scenes.
2) DRAGGY. This is the main reason I did not enjoy this drama. The dialogues were slow with many pauses and there were many unnecessary scenes where nothing was happening. I had to press 'skip' way too many times.
3) Not much chemistry. Though I feel there were cute moments, there wasn't any scene that made my heart flutter and I just did not feel that the to main actors were close at all.
4) Storyline/Plot esp towards the end. The conflict in this drama was put at a very weird point (Not gonna say where in case it's considered a spoiler) and resolving it took like what, 15 mins of the show? The conflict IMO is also slightly illogical though one can reason that Pharm was very overwhelmed by his emotions then, I just don't think it justifies his actions.

All in all, this is a drama that started out great but got boring and deteriorated as the episodes went on.

DEFO ONE OF THE TOP BLs OR EVEN THAI SHOWS I'VE WATCHED

One of, if not the most well-produced and shot thai shows/BLs. Storyline was pretty solid and the different couples had a ridiculous amount of chemistry. This series is funny, intense and kinda heartwarming all at once. Music is incredibly well done, as expected of Jeff Satur, and Slot Machine really popped off with the opening song. THE DETAILS in this show are also very well done, in terms of some of the characters' small movements and expressions.

The only bone I have to pick is that I enjoyed the first half of the show slightly more than the second half as the overall vibe does change gradually throughout the series.

Overall, such a phenomenal series that will be iconic in the BL world for the next few years, HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR EVERYONE TO WATCH!
