I'm in Love <3 (Mucho spoilers ahead, proceed with caution)

Overall this series was really good and I love how far Kao's acting has come and I hope to see him in more films hopefully as a main character. He was just to cute in this series, you guys I can't get over it. I love how Lovely Writer avoided old cliques and steered a new track for BLs. It was something different that I really needed. That being said there were still somethings that I completely loved and somethings that completely threw me off
Cons:
First being that Aoey didn't even like Sib. This literally came out of nowhere, and I feel like even if I rewatched it I still wouldnt see how Aoey really showed his feelings for Gene prior to eps. 8 and 9.
Second :being that Gene was mad at Sib because Sib didnt tell him that they grew up together, honestly speaking I feel that its kinda Gene's fault for not remembering someone he was so close with as a child in the first place. It just a really dumb reason to be mad.
Third: I found it dumb how for some reason Gene was scared to tell his friends that he liked guys, especially when it wasn't like he was doing much to hide it. All the tension they had at the reunion dinner didn't even lead to much later on in the story, it felt like a very unnecessary filler :/
Pros:
This series steered clear of all things sexual harassment, assault and rape related, by this I mean every sexual act that was committed was done so with both sides consenting. The only scenes where these things come close to be shown are when the series is close to the end and Aoey is being too forward with Gene.
Second :almost every pairing in here had amazing communication. I saw a comment saying how "Gene forgave Sib to fast for the whole "not telling you we grew up together thing" especially since he was so mad about it" but honestly I prefer it this way. I hate when a series drags on a conflict that could easily be absolved by the characters just talking to one another. In this situation Gene was upset and he explained why and then Sib explained why he did what he did, Gene understood and forgave him. Its a simple as that.
Third : There are so many plot twist in here, actually there are only two main ones but still it felt like I spent episode 8,9, and 10 just gaping at my screen.
EDIT-
I forgot to add my thoughts on Tum and Tiffy. I like how the show had a straight man in there who just so happened to have "feminine skills and qualities". Its like a twist that someone doesn't have to look gay to be gay and that someone doesn't have to look straight to be straight. This show needs more promotion cause the topics that are being touched upon in here reflected the entire BL genre

Nice Plot But...

Whew okay, First thing first, regardless of everything this is my personal opinion. It's always best to watch the show for yourself and not to judge it blindly because of a review. That being said without further ado......

1. FirstKhao
They are so cute!! and watching Safe House at the same time, this absolutely put the icing on the cake for me. They have made their way into my list of fav BL ships.
I lived for all of Akk and Ayan's cute moments. Like seriously the "narrowing the gap" scene had me rolling around in my bed.


2. Plot
I loved the potential the plot had but unfortunately, ep 11 really killed it. Like I was expecting some big climax with a plot twist or some lesson learned or something but nope nothing. I feel like they wanted to fit everything into 12 eps but cut too much out and then tried to make up for it with the "film project" at the end. It was kinda disappointing.

3. Rant
MF THUA!!! I'm not going to go too deep into my irritation at Thua for spoiler precautions but OMG!!
Also as much as I liked Akk and Thua(in the beginning) I find it hard to realistically believe that after everything they just got some measly punishment. Like come on they were basically young arsonists.

Overall
I really liked FirstKhao and honestly stayed because of my love for enemies-to-lovers romances, but I'd be a liar to sit here and type that this show deserves full stars. The beginning was nice I loved the mystery it showed and it really caught my attention and had me eagerly waiting every Friday for a new episode. Even though Thua ended up kicking me in the back I still loved to hate him at that moment.

P.S.- everyone go listen to the OST "Over the Moon" Khao sang it and it sounds so nice!!!

Everyone is WRONG!!!

Before watching I read comments saying that it was a bad drama and that people should drop it or whatever but if I’m being honest the only part that was “bad” in my opinion was the first ep. I skipped majority of the first ep and just watched the last few minutes to lead me into ep2.

Everyone is also saying how the cheating is so bad and that they had to drop it but honestly thats them and this is me. I personally don’t care about the cheating mainly because I love drama and I can just tell with this we’re are gonna see some drama. So watch if you like good chemistry and drama as well as funny supporting characters. I recommend getting the free trial for iQIYI and watching the uncut versions. Good luck and happy watching!!!😁
