Romantic teen angst and gay social issues
I've been watching BL's for years now and I skipped over this gem due to an awkward first episode and bad reviews. I held it in my watch list for over a year. I am so glad that I decided to come back and watch it. It was fascinating to see some very popular current actors and how they looked 5 years ago and the difference in their acting. I am not saying there is a bad acting in this because in my opinion there is not. They were awkward as teenagers are. there was awkward silences. some people said that they were gaps in the story and I agree that it did jump around a little bit but that made it even more real for me. I had a glimpse into their lives and if you pay very close attention to every single episode it's not hard to keep up with everything that's happening. I found it to be one of my favorite dramas ever. Tee has some serious Rizz!!! There are some beautiful conversations here and without spoiling anything I will just say that the scene by the sea had some of the sweetest words ever said.if you will remember middle and high school so much happened and one week back then... little things were huge to us and that's how it is in the show. there is very little skinship. don't even bother watching this if that's what you're looking for. However, despite that I could definitely say it was one of the most romantic school BL's ever in my personal opinion.

It's a mess. - Let's be honest here, we only watch this for FrankDrake.
The headline might sound a little bit rough, but it is what it is.'Cause You're My Boy (2018) is a lighthearted love story in a high school setting. One of the main characters initially struggled with his sexuality - which seemed to be the main plot point in earlier episodes. However, the conflict progressed into a story about homophobia and family acceptance immediately after the initial struggle had been resolved. We also see many - dare I say - unnecessary conflict involving supporting lots of the supporting roles consisting of the main characters' friends that started from nowhere and just ended abruptly.
I must say when it comes to resolving the main conflicts, this series did a really good job - especially with the struggle in accepting one's sexuality part. That being said, the rest of the plot is - as the headline says - a mess. Things keep happening out of nowhere and seemingly for no reason as the story progress. Up until the last episodes, I must say that it is mind-boggling - but not in a good way. Nothing adds up, the writers just keep progressing from episode to episode without really paying any attention to the characters' development or even the environment around them.
The production in this series is not much of a help either. The lack of music and the quality of sound/audio is putting off the mood to watch what I initially thought a lighthearted love story. Not only that lots of the scenes felt empty due to the lack of background music, the camera angles and lighting were also a little bit off considering the theme and genre.
Despite all of the 'bad' things that I mentioned above, I would still recommend this series if you are a die-hard BL fan, especially if you stan Frank and Drake. However, if you are looking for BL with good story and production, you might want to stay away from this one because this ain't it. Overall, if you still want to watch this series I would highly advise you not to compare it to other BLs especially 2gether The Series (since Frank and Drake are also one of the couples in that one) because you might end up enjoying the story less than you should have.

Started Great
Sagged a little in the middle
Ended Great
I would watch Season II. There were some characters left to be developed and the stars still had another story to tell. I enjoyed the small moments and the insight it gave me too another culture and way of life. It wasn't Shakespeare nor was it required to be. These young people did a great job and we should acknowledge their talent and hard work. It is so easy to be critical but we are not on the screen being criticized without realizing the time and effort put in daily to make this show. Job well done and I hope to see these actors on screen again soon. I would like to, "Thank and applaud all involved." Job Well Done.

ONE OF THE BEST BL'S
This story was realistic, raw, and emotional. The couple was also very cute. I love how Drake's character stood ten toes down for his boo even after his mom tried to stop them from seeing each other. Anybody who hates this.... has comprehension issues that they need to deal with on their own time. I need this couple back but SPECIFICALLY.... as FRANKDRAKE and not "drakefrank" that was their true downfall as a pair....Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Of course the show has its flaws and serves some common BL tropes, but at the same time it conveys some valuable messages.
I like the chemistry of the two main characters and how their relationship and their feelings develop. I think it's a huge plus that the series doesn't excessively use sound effects, jingles and weirdly placed music like many newer BL series do. I also like the pacing of the series and the absence of minute long staring into each others' eyes and slow motion almost kiss scenes.
I think the portrayal of Morks dad was really good and that the shop helper being transgender was not a big issue and wasn't made fun of gave me some hope.
The scene about sexual education was well done in my opinion. Talking about sexuality and LGBTQ+ topics is so important but gets often overlooked in BL series.

Sorry but it makes me feel kinda bored
This series/drama makes me feel kinda bored from episodes 2 and I ended up skipping to the last 2 episodes. It's not that the cast was not well at acting is just that the storyline was very boring. This series/drama was actually long time ago, so that the quality of this series/drama doesn't looks very good but I still managed to watch few episodes.Maybe others will like it but for me I don't think is suitable :).
I hope someone else will appreciate this series/drama ( one of the character of this series/drama left the company of it and so this ship is seperated)
If you like to watch drakefrank you can prefer to watch this :).

A Parody?
As someone who is always down for an enemies to lovers romance, I was excited to start watching 'Cause You're My Boy. My excitement fizzled out pretty quickly, though, because after episode one this series became so bad that I could not understand if the production team had a romantic comedy or a parody in mind.The story is leaning toward an unfunny parody of a bromance between two high school students and relies heavily on clichés. Furthermore, the acting is subpar.
Overall, I do not recommend this series.

I like how the cast takes every role and there is no awkwardness in them. Hoping for the next and upcoming episodes.

what.
I can't even write this without cringing. This show is point-blank the most terrible BL show I've ever seen.The plot was bad.
The acting was bad.
I honestly want to cry just thinking about what I had to endure while watching that.
I really don't know how other people could give a higher rating than 1/10.
If I could give less than 1/10, I would and happily.
Please don't watch this show. It is a complete waste of time and it will waste your life. I feel bad that such good actors would have to go through acting in this horrible show.
I said before that is was the most terrible BL show I've ever watched. Well, scratch that, because it was the most terrible show in general that I've ever watched.
