THIS WAS ACTUALLY SO GOOD
I recently finished watching this drama 2 minutes ago and I was watching it as it was on going. It made me really sad to see so many negative reviews about this phenomenonal drama.
This was almost a slice of life kind of drama and I tremendously enjoyed it. I would look forward to every Friday for the next episode because watching this drama just made me real giddy.
In my opinion, everything was perfect - everything was well paced, yes, the plot was a cliché but the actors made it work and they portrayed it beautifully.
I had zero expectations for this drama - I had never heard or seen any of the actors in this BL before but I still gave it a watch and I was truly hooked from the first episode.
I haven't read the web novel so maybe I could be seeing this in a slightly different light but I just wanted to drop this postive review in between all the negative ones.
Something that I adored about this drama was the comedy, its supposed to be a romantic comedy and nothing too serious and that is exactly what it is. There is no upsetting or sad element to this drama, its just the usual - the nasty selfish ex, supportive friends, and a cute blossoming romance.
Although, I can see why people are so upset by this drama and one of the reasons being the mention of homophobia... there is definitely a taste of that element within this drama BUT what is not being looked at by anyone is how well it is being handled in this drama. The characters do not do anything without a reason, there's a reason for their behaviors and towards the end of the drama we definitely see a massive change in the MC and how he tries to embrace his sexual orientation.
Sometimes as people, we forget to see how other people view something, we become biased almost. I think its just a bit hard for people to accept the fact that the characters in this drama could behave in such ways. Tonhon's father is definitely one of the characters - I do not want to reveal too much information about his actions however, I believe that he was historically and socially inclined. Despite the fact that it wasn't displayed in the drama, theoretically speaking, for a big business man that is under a lot of business pressure, it must be difficult for him to accept a few things as he is already under so much pressure as to what to do with his wealth. I do admit that he definitely went overboard with how he treated and reacted to things, basically drilling his commands into his children but he understood that he stepped the line and did apologize in the end.
I hope I haven't given out too many spoilers as I talked about Tonhon's father. Overall, the reason I would give this drama a 10 out of 10 all star rating is because it stayed true to its genre and also because it never bored me at any point and also because the actors truly did an amazing job!! I genuinely felt the chemistry between the main leads and I loveddd how it was based off a childhood romance. Lastly, one more important thing - the supportive friends are something that need to be appreciated more!! The support characters did an amazing job and I loved how they were sensible whilst handling messy situations all while giving me a big fat laugh.
I think we all need to try and see this drama in a more positive light!! This drama really doesn't deserve the 2.5 and 4 ratings that people have given out of annoyance or anger. The actors did a wonderful job and so did the musicians who creates the masterpiece that is MAI MEE MEIN NO ITROYY okay I don't know the lyrics but this song really hyped me up!! I hope that more people can watch this drama in the future and try to appreciate the hardwork done by the production team:)) And I also hope that this review gets recognized so that not everyone thinks that Tonhon Chonlatee is a bad drama.
thank you for reading thisss!! Definitely give this drama a try just by watching the first episode on YouTube GMMTV's channel.
