It was ok!
(Scroll for my overall opinion)STORY: There wasn’t much of a story it’s basically about this senior (Boun) who wants to tease his junior ( Duen), so he makes the boy bring him a rose every day for a month and they end up developing feelings for each other.
There were 3 other couples. Only one was official btw.
MY OPINION ON THE SIDE COUPLES
MekBoss - they were my personal favorite and the only couple that was official. Really the only thing I didn’t like about them is just Mek had a horrible dub and his parts were hard to watch. But over looking that I loved them together. (He has a dub bc he can’t speak Thai)
RamKing- I feel that this is an unpopular opinion since nobody else has really said this but, I didn’t love them to be honest. There wasn’t much to their relationship and they were just kind of boring. They did have cute moments but everybody else seems to hype them a lot and say that they are the only reason the show was worth watching but I just don’t think so.
TharaFrong- so these 2 never really had any romantic moments. It was sort of hinted at the fact that they liked each other but at the same time the development between these two was more like the development of a friendship. So it was hinted at that they might have some romance in the future but as far as the show so far nothing happened between them not even flirting so.
MY OVERALL OPINION: There’s really nothing special about this show. But I did really like it. The show had me smiling a lot for sure and I think it’s good for if you have nothing else to watch or you’re just bored. Everyone’s different tho so while some may praise this show others may hate it Watch for ur self and see if it’s ur cup of tea or not.

Terribly good
Meh it was okay. I am actually gonna explain my rating. I think it has too many low ratings. It’s not the worse thing I have ever seen. I’ll break it down my couples despite it actually being one in the morning. Okay the average was a 7.9 stars but I rounded and gave it an 8. I was feeling nice. And let’s just say that sequel not coming lol. If there’s anything this show did right. I really like the consistency. It was crazy. Like the Bohn being a hard headed dick, he stayed like that still the end. And duen being innocent, you could still see that at the end which I liked. King being scared of dogs, he didn’t get over that fear in the end. Ram being not talkative and just showing his affections other ways happens till the end. Boss being the most annoying bitch but so funny, he was like that till the end. And the awkward husband energy from mek till the end was good. Okay summing up the couples.Duen and Bohn:
I really thought it was gonna be love at first sight and I was about to really annoyed. It was love at first but only for Bohn. Duen was really are voice of reason for this show. He was like what the hell is wrong with you we actually just met and I punched you in the face when we first met. They had some tough love that’s for sure. There was a lot of scenes I have scene edits of in her. Their chemistry is actually really good. Duens looks really added to the innocence and sensuality of him really. Good couple, could have seen some more though with loving but it was solid.
King and ram:
They are up next because they are the second main role behind the other two. These two have a good dynamic. Loud and quiet. That’s really it. I don’t know. King became really interested in every single thing that ram did and I think that's what helped their relationship so much, because he was so interested in him. The dad cheating hit close to home so I was like damn. The tattoos look like the ones you get out of a cereal box but I loved them. I feel like kisses didn’t fit them too much but they could have had more scenes like the one where king puts a purple flower in rams hair. Stuff like that.
Boss and Mek:
My favorite couple. I don’t know why. These two had great chemistry from the get go. The whole husband and wife thing was so cheesy and cute I loved it. They could have had more clinging moments for sure. And more background but they were my favorite couple for sure. Great couple!
Over all felt like there wasn’t too much development but I went in knowing it was gonna be bad so I wasn’t too disappointed. Towards the last few episodes it felt like a lazy clip show. Like that happened two minutes ago I think I know it. I started this show at 12 am yesterday and it’s now 1:21 am today. Decent show. Would i recommend? Yeah not a lot of brain power, I did get invested because I actually remembered the characters names. The ratings are understandable but some are too picky. I think it’s good, it’s cute and laid back not a lot of thinking. Okay onto he’s coming to me, which I’ve already started. Good show, terribly good. I’ll give it that. Okay bye!

The side couples, tho
Ok so, if you’re like me you’ll quickly get annoyed by the main couple. Bohn is too much, gets overly jealous over nothing, Duen is cute but him being in a relationship with Bohn feels a bit too forced. HOWEVER, this drama has 3 great side couples that honestly deserve much more screen time than they got. I was much more invested in them than the main couple, and actually fully enjoyed their scenes.Bonus note: This drama has one of the best looking BL cast I’ve seen so far, like???? Where have they been this whole time???? I’d say Bohn is probably the least appealing one but even then he’s still quite decent

This Is One of the Best Series To Come Out in a Long Time
I've seen other BL series with a fair share of silliness geared towards a teenage audience and episodes with plot holes and disappointment, but I have no complaints to make about anything in this series even if I tried.My Engineer was one of those very welcome shows where I liked where the story was going, the excellent acting by everyone one board, and the work that it took to make this show work for all 14 episodes.
The one reservation that I had about the relationships not going even further in this series is easily forgiven because we have Season 2 coming up to move things along.
I am one of those who watched the whole series and was completely astonished at how powerful the side relationship of Ram-King made them one of the big reasons to watch this show.
I loved seeing this match slowly develop and they almost stole the show by themselves.
I felt as strongly for the acting that Perth and Lay put into these characters and I did when watching Cooper and Poy work their magic on the Bohn-Duen relationship.
Out of all of shows to watch out there that are already wrapped up over the past two years, I would put My Engineer up there in the top 3, with it being one of the best rewatch earners as well.
I also really liked the acting and story plots in Triage, Gen Y and Tharn-Type, so that's where my thinking and values lie with my reviews.
There was silliness to be found in every episode, but I can forgive all of them for being mixed in carefully to a story that had to include teens as a big part of their audience.
A lot of it I actually liked, including the scenes where Duen cannot handle a shot of liquor to save his life.
Poy does play a very good drunk along with everything else in the role.
One of my weaknesses in watching a show like this is seeing a character start out in the early episodes coming across as cold and unemotional and then open up completely before your eyes halfway through the series.
I saw this with Perth playing Ram, and his acting in it was even better after a rewatch of the show to see where his character was coming from.
There was definitely a lot going on in the Ram-King match in this season and I looked forward to what was next just as much as the others.
I was hooked on this series by episode 2 and remained happy with the story through all 14 episodes.
I'll recommend this series to everyone and advise them to save a seat for Season 2.

Adorable, just adorable.
So about this series. When I first started it I did not have too high hopes, but it did come to surprise me. It has no specific story really, but It's very sweet and relaxing to watch. It made me happy and I like how you get to know many of the characters on a quite deep level. The serie is a comedy though for sure.Bohn x Duen (main couple)
This couple was the "Tom and Jerry couple" for sure.
Bohn is a confident, play-boyish person who is used to get his way. And he falls head over heels for the innocent boy Duen. Duen is an innocent and caring person, but was not the typical "push-over bottom" and he did not hesitate to argue back, especially with Bohn where he probably just wanted to argue back. However, even if Bohn could seem like a bully sometimes he always showed care when it comes to Duen. This kind of pairing between two characters is a match that asks for a lot of understanding and patience from the the viewers or else they could easily be misunderstood.
Poy and Cooper's (the actors) chemistry is honestly very good. The couple was really sweet and fun to watch. Yes, people have been saying they were annoying and I'm not gonna argue back about that. They were really annoying and frustrating to watch sometimes. It had those jelousy and misunderstanding moments where you just wanted to smack them both. But in the end, there were still times where it was visible that they were both capable of putting their prides aside for a moment and to finally apologize to each other. I feel like this kind of dynamic was meant for this couple, and we do get to see how they finally overcomes thier issues.
People have complained they didn't have like "sex scenes" or "steamier scenes" but honestly, I don't think that is necessary at all. They (Duen) could be a bit dull about it but I still think that is okay. A couple doesn't need to have those scenes to be good and interesting. I think it's quite realistic since not everyone wants to do sexual stuff in real life either. You might feel like they didn't have any trust for one another even though they were boyfriends, and yes, that was kind of true but I still think there is more to them if you look closely. Being someone's boyfriend doesn't mean you trust them, trust is something that grows and we did get to see their trust slowly grow even though it took some time. They are a childish and bickering couple but I still find them very enjoyable. I can tell my love for them has only grown since the serie ended.
Ram x King (my favorites)
This couple had my whole heart. The chemistry between Perth and Lay was beautiful to watch and I think one of the reasons this couple was so enjoyable was because both the characters seperatly were so good and lovely as well. They are both pretty complex characters but they never seemed too tryhard to be deep.
King is a handsome engineering student and plant lover. He is known for being the best in all subjects and is a character impossible not to fall for. His love and care for plants allows him to be very observant and understanding of the people around him and to read them like open books. This is very visible in the serie as well. He is the dorky person with a fear of dogs, but yet manages to maintain his attractive and cool character.
Ram is a very interesting character but just as lovable. He is the introverted and guarded type, also self selective mute, meaning he chooses to be mute around people unless those he feels comfortable enough with. He is known in the serie for being the dog lover where he has 4 dogs that he seems to like more than the people around him. Ram had a really interesting and nice character development. Since he had very little dialoge and did not have many lines compared to the others Perth did a great job of giving life to his character through eyes and face expressions. I just loved how much they did with this character with so little.
The connection Ram and King have with each other is somewhat amazing to watch. Ram is very untalkative and therefor catches King's attention for being a litte different. This makes King wanting to know more about this quiet person and it turns out he understands him really way with no words needed. This is still one of my favorite couples and their communication chemistry sure is interesting. I heard some people were annoyed by King's fear of his emotions at the end but I find that dumb as well. It's a part of his character, being scared of your feelings must be one of the most common fears there is. Yes he ran away for a moment but I believe it's more complex than just another denial/confession situation. It's an emotion, it doesn't have to make fully sense and I personally think a lot of people can relate to King. He may seem like a very smart and calm person but he's got fears and flaws too right?
Mek x Boss
I know some people don't love this couple but I actually somewhat liked them.
Mek and Boss have had this "husband and wife" thing going on ever since tehy were freshmen, but while Boss saw it as more of a joke, Mek on the other hand had actually had been in love with him ever since then. Sadly he is too scared of losing Boss as a friend if he were to confess his feelings, so instead chooses to keep quiet and watching him from a distance while doing anything for him.
It probably doesn't sound very interesting but their sweet moments are there, and yes, we will be seeing scenes with Mek being hurt. I don't wanna spoil too much but I can tell, this couple goes surprisingly easy together. So about Mek's actor, Ryan. As I think everyone knows now he was dubbed with a really weird voice. It didn't suit him and yes, that voice did get real annoying sometimes. But after all, Mek was almost mute and did not speak much which added a nice touch to his character, and I believe Ryan couldn't speak thai which is where they probably should've casted someone else. But I mean, I personally think it works fine enough anyways, if you're not too sensetive about it. Boss, well he is the typical goofy character we've seen a lot of in bl and you might not think there is much to him but I still believe he's got more to offer, it's just hidden well. The "husband and wife" thing for example, he obviously did it because he somewhat always liked Mek but was too afraid to even dare and take a step forward, many people says he's insensitive but I think he might be just insecure, and just as Mek was, scared of losing his best friend.
Thara x Frong
I find it a bit hard to judge this couple since their story started almost at the ending. As we know, Frong was actually in love with Duen at first but later on gave up on him when he saw Duen choosing Bohn instead. Frong's story with Thara recently started but from what I've seen so far they are very caring and go pretty well together. I believe they will make a good couple in the coming season 2 if they get together some day.
Acting and cast:
The casts acting is surprisingly good! It's really well performed. The cast members seem to be very close. There are quite a lot of people but they all seem to be good friends already. I do know that Ryan (acting as Mek) sadly won't be in the season 2 because of reasons we do not fully know yet. How they will do with Mekboss couple is also not confirmed yet but a season 2 is confirmed.
OST:
I actually really love the OST! Both OST's are catchy and will easily get stuck in your head. They are yet a really good fit for the series and personally I like them. I especially liked the "love song" OST. When I searched the lyrics up I realized it has a very nice and important message as well:
-I want to tell you, beautiful love has no rules.
-It doesn't matter male of female as long as you love me.
-What's important is, someone knows my thoughts.
In the end, I think my engineer is a quite simple but still nice drama. It's very effective where it relies more on the character building and development instead of the story itself. I personally like this since I believe characters are important and the ones from my engineer I find very colorstrong and enjoyable. And even though the serie might not be masters of it I still think it delivers it well.

Underrated
StorySometimes the story went in crazy directions and honestly life can do that to but sometimes that threw me off. That is literally the only bad thing about this show. Otherwise the content was amazing!! My heart was most of the time about to give out cause of their cute moments.
Acting/Cast
Going to be honest... The actor that played Mek was cute and all but I am low key disappointed they didn't just let him speak his language then sub it. I hated the dub with a passion and I know that is not Ryan's fault. The acting though especially during some parts was a little questionable but the drama was cute.
Music
OH MY GOODNESSSSS THE OST IS SOOOOOO GOOOD. The OST is so catchy and I love it.
Overall
Please watch it is a underrated one and they need lots of support because let me correct myself they DESERVE lots of support. It is really good and you won't regret.

Another Engineering BL...But I'll Let It Slide
Another engineering show lol. But this one is actually probably one of the best you'll get in that genre. Way better than many of the engineering BL's like "Nitiman" recently which was trash or even "Sotus" season 1 which was boring to me. What a weird premise though with the roses. It worked out though! Bohn and Duean were really cute at the beginning, this changes some later on but they were pretty solid in the first half of the series.As first I was actually still confused as to if Bohn actually liked Duean from the beginning, or if it was just him messing around initially. ? However, the vibe from all the sweet stares and fawning over made me change my mind. Yep totally checking him out and upfront about wanting to pursue him! We love being honest and open. The problems with them stemmed from their lack of communication and jealousy. That s*** started to get annoying by the end and I hope season 2 doesn't continue with that nonsense..
Mek and Boss were strange. Mek's character is so freaking sweet. Though the dubbing of Mek's character was a dumb decision. It's so distracting and they could've just let his character speak Mandarin! Who cares just have him be an exchange student or something. Boss was kind of an airhead throughout this, but they were alright together.
Immediately, I was the most interested in seeing where King and Ram were going story-wise. I like those 2 actors a lot. They did serve with the sweetness and I want more from them in season 2! Ram deserves all the rights, and to talk more hopefully. King needs to embrace his feelings more for sure. Also stop hitting your head sir, you'll get brain damage lol. Btw their first kiss in the tent was tops.
One thing. Ugh get past the whole "I dont like boys only him" thing that's a load of crap. Sure a single person can bring out sexual curiosity but a single person cannot change your sexuality. That was in there all along dude. That trope needs to go FAST! We also need to use our WORDS when something happens. Bohn did not kiss another dude, he was forced upon and innocent! Sure he's got some anger issues he needs to work out but dude isn't a cheater. That was hella frustrating. Please stop getting delayed season 2 so we can get some things resolved! Also notice how I didn't mention Frong or Dr.Thara...well there's a reason for that. I couldn't care less about them lol sorry.

Is it really worth watching ?
I fell like this series was nothing really specialThe actors didn‘t really impress me and i also could’t really get into the story
The main couple in my opinion acted like a kindergarten couple which i didn’t enjoy
The only reason i gave this series 5 out of 10 stars was because of ram & king i fell like you should watch it just because of their couple ( maybe you will habe to skip som parts of the other couples)
Ram&King seriously need their own series

Better than expected
I finally watched this after being put off by not-so-great reviews.It was pretty good, not the best BL I have watched and I may be a little biased as I finished UWMA right before this and that was perfection. The story felt similar to most Thai BLs with the university setup and ye olde engineering students plot device....I feel it's been done to death by now. Gimme some Literature, CompSci, or Arts students instead, please!
Whilst some of the story elements (mainly the roses for me) were new, I felt a lot of it was just too familiar. That being said it did it fairly well and I have to say this is the first BL series I have watched that managed to pretty evenly give attention to so many couples, other than TharaFrong which I felt were thrown into the series a bit too late perhaps. Whilst I liked the way it managed some issues (Bohn and Duen and the top/bottom issue) I felt like others were just irritating to watch, Bohn's jealousy and possessiveness. Overall worth a watch, enjoyable but don't expect anything groundbreaking or different.
Bohn x Duen : Cuter than I expected and although I liked the story around the roses I couldn't overlook Bohn's constant jealousy, there just seems to be no trust there, better communication between the two would have been nicer to see than Bohn losing his temper every time someone so much as looked at Duen. But given that they were cute together and I liked how they (after a bit of drama) decided that the whole top/bottom issue didn't matter as long as they were together (can other BLs take note please?). I know many were disappointed by their slow progression but I liked it, it was both nice and more realistic to see them taking everything at a slower pace and get to know each other.
Ram x King : The reason I watched this series all the way through, the absolute cutest, proof that words are not always needed. I loved their acting, chemistry, and story. Their character development is slow and steady, which makes it all the more a joy to watch as they start to get to know and trust each other. The gazebo moment with the flower was just beautiful and so touching. I really hope these two get a big part of season two, they deserve far more screen time. I knew this would be my favorite couple straight from the bus moment at the start. I like how King can read Ram from his expressions and his eyes and how patient they are with each other. Their story captured my attention more than the others and I hope it gets further development in season two. I also love how they both have their own passions, dogs and plants, and how they play a big part in their lives, it really gave me more of an insight into their characters. Can I also say how GORGEOUS these two are? Because wow...please cast both in bigger roles and more series because their acting is brilliant and I would love to see them grow and develop in other roles too.
Mek x Boss : Like many others have said, the dubbing just threw me out of the story so often, it sounded unnatural and was uncomfortable with how it would play then the background sound would rush back in. I did however like their development and although both are good actors I have to commend Mek on his facial expressions, which were on point and really showed how much he was struggling with his hidden feelings. Not my favorite couple but I did like some of their scenes. Mek probably had the most memorable bit for me in the cafe when he was explaining the top/bottom issue to Bohn, brilliantly said, nice to see a BL state real facts for a change! I wasn't entirely convinced of their chemistry, it felt more like a bromance to me, and I didn't particularly buy how suddenly Boss was saying he had liked Mek all along....
TharaFrong: Too Little Too Late, again both are good actors and absolutely stunning....their visuals together are no joke. I liked how their characters started to develop but it just started a bit late in my opinion. I would have liked to have seen more of them from the start to give their characters more time to develop. I did however like how they started talking in the hospital and how flowers were also important to their story (jasmine).
Honorable mention to TingTing, one of only two female characters in BL that I liked. She was a great supportive friend, had some genuinely funny one-liners, and wasn't some plot device used to incite jealousy for a change. I liked how her character was a real genuine part of the group of friends but not some manic BL-obsessed girl (like King's sister...groan). Her line on the bus made me laugh '“I am going to cut my ovaries as there is no use” Ting Ting is hilariously savage. More female characters like this in BL series would be great to see.
Overall, a light, easy-to-watch series, nice if you want something that is sweet, fluffy, and light on the angst.

I know the last episode comes out later this week but I can't wait. I want to make this review. Bohn and Duen:
In my opinion, I think their relationship is kind of toxic. You can see how Bohn gets jealous very quickly and acts mad. Also, communication and trust are lacking. Like lord just help them, please. Duen deserves someone better than Bohn. The punishments that Bohn made Duen do got way too far. It was only a slap. I get that's how they got together but please it could've been better. I wouldn't mind if they don't have a happy ending because I feel like maybe Bohn should work on himself before getting in a relationship with someone.
Ram and King:
Ram and King are 2 of my favorite characters in this series. I love how their friendship developed. You saw how Ram would never talk to King and how King tried to get close with him but it didn't work. Eventually they became close and Ram would open up to him. You also see how King looks at Ram kind of like he is slowly falling in love with him. In the recent episode you can see King kind of ignoring Ram. I think mainly this is because he is just confused about his feelings for Ram. He's probably confused about if he likes Ram as a friend or if he is falling in love with Ram.
Mek and Boss:
Lol, I loved their friendship from the start but I felt kind of bad for Mek. He's just watching his crush and best friend continuously falling in love with other girls. When Boss gets a girlfriend who is becoming an idol Mek still helps him by teaching him how to dance, voting for his girlfriend with Boss, teaching him how to play guitar, and goes even as far as writing the song for Boss so he can audition. (He wanted to audition so he could be alongside his girlfriend) When Mek confesses his feeling it shocked me how Boss said something along the lines of "Why didn't you tell me earlier?". I thought Boss was going to be homophobic and completely shut Mek down.
I'm sad that if we get season 2 Ryan (Actor who plays Mek) won't be there. I got so attached to him...
I'm not sure what happened so can someone tell me, please?
Thara and Fong:
We haven't really seen much of these 2 but they are the only couple that didn't get the curse. (all the rest of the couples are fighting) I skipped most scenes because I can't handle stuff like mum having the possibility to die or Fong getting emotional about it. I get really emotional and I hate crying so I skipped those scenes. But from what I've seen these 2 seem completely fine, they are comfortable around each other and talk often. So, I think these 2 are perfectly fine!

story
this story is really good because I think it is like an original. it does follow like a lot of normal Bl drama plot lines but it is different because the fact that the flower idea came to be is very funny and interesting. I think that many people will find this drama really funny because the situation is really unpredictable and funny. usually, I hate unpredictable stuff but this was really good.
cast
the fact that most of the actors are acting in their first drama is really amazing. most of them are rookie actors yet they are really good. they are really good at acting. also, all of them are eye candy which makes it all the better. i also like how they have foreign Chinese actors in a Thai drama because they have a really good tan.=)
music
I think the music in this drama is enough to make you watch it. it really fits in with the theme and it is really good in the areas the putt. honestly, I think this drama is very well made compared to other rookie drama
honestly, I think this drma of everybody. I think it is really good and that it is worth it for people that are bored in quarantine even if you never watched a Bl drama before it is still worth it.
