Okay, but Not Incredible
There have been worse, there have been better. I feel like that sums up the story.Overall, the story isn't bad. The cinematography is nice and JoongDunk do have nice chemistry with each other. Other than that, nothing to write home about. It wasn't overtly unique, but it was a decent watch.
I didn't regret watching it, but I think I would like to see how these MLs do with a more mature script. Maybe it's because the college/high school arc is getting old, but I'd love to see Thai dramas in general move forward out of the school era.
Overall: Decent watch, but not life-altering.

Nice Concept but plot can be develop even more!
I was so skeptical at this series because of the last JoongDunk series that I watched doesn't reach my expectation AT ALL. But this one is much better than the last one. The story started with Zo having a crush on Nita and asking for Joke's help to help him to date her. Though, I like the way they stopped the dating help halfway because of Zo realising his actual feeling towards Joke, I wish they shouldn't stop that way. I wish they could put more conflict like Joke suddenly back to being Nita's boyfriend because of the stalker thing. The concept is good but I wish the plot could have more conflict. The conflict of the series is just love triangle, family issues and thats it. I wish there is more.I have no complain about the characters BUT I just wish that when Zo confront his mom about his feelings of never feel enough, I wish there is more passion, there is more anger. Yes, Zo is a nice person but he has been bottling up his feelings for a long time. I really wanted to see how Dunk's acting with explosion of anger and regret but it seems like that is not going to happen in this series. And both of them facing the same issues are a little bit.. hm.. how do I say... sound like plot is rushed to finish. They could have create conflict of Joke's father is being bias with his siblings more wide range. Like I said, there are no rage and not enough passion in this series that it makes them a little bit boring.
Joke's whole family except for his grandma is A WHOLE FUCKING RED FLAG. I am so mad that no one seems to care about him like ????? How heartless can yall be? Anyway, I still feel that this series have a good concept, moderately develop plot, amazing actors but very little conflict.
JoongDunk deserves better. There, I said it.

Cute Rom Com With Great Chemistery!
If you are familiar with me, you may be aware that I frequently blog about the D/s element in various shows. However, I desired a break from that. I desired something that was cute, romantic, and amusing, which would serve as a distraction from the intense content that I am currently observing. This fit the bill perfectly, and I'm glad I gave it a shot despite the reviews. The fun parts made me giggle, and the romantic ones made me sigh. If you enjoy Rom Coms, then you will adore this hidden gem.Please refrain from paying attention to other reviews on here that are comparing this show to other shows that aren't Rom Coms and making disparaging remarks. You're comparing it to genres it's not in, it's like comparing a horror movie to a dance show. It's a Rom Com! Maybe don't watch Rom Coms if you don't like them!
I found the chemistry in both pairs to be excellent, the acting felt comfortable and there was never a point in which it felt fake or forced. I didn't have moments where I was thrown out of the series, but in fact was immersed in it. Not only that, but I stayed up far too late to finish it. As far as the story line? I, personally, enjoyed it, it was realistic in a way and there was smooth delivery. Plus, the character communication was chief's kiss. Seriously, ignore these other people and listen to me! It's cute! It might not be Semantic Error cute, but it fits with My Love Mix Up cute.

Enemies to Lovers Trope
This series is very cute so far. i know a lot of criticism is that its gonna be an enemies to friends to lovers type of theme which has already been overdone but it is a romance trope I absolutely adore and rarely ever get tired of seeing so as long as it doesn't end up getting boring in the middle I'll continue to enjoy it. I do understand there are some people who are tired of seeing this trope especially from GMMTV.For me personally I have little to no complaints so far aside from the filler they try and throw in some episodes

it's not bad but not good
many things in this drama good like zo's first look in drama(he was freaking cute), romance, production, but the thing is the main couple chemistry does not really match with high school romance. in easy words they should have more dramas like office romance(mature romance) .the only reason I watched is JoongDunk, I love this shipVond je deze recentie nuttig?

It was cute...I guess.
Hidden Agenda was cute and I enjoyed it, until the last three episodes. Zo took Whiny to a whole other level. So they won the competition but Zo lost the scholarship to Nita. This is where the wining starts. He pouts through Nita's B-day party and pushes Joke away. And then his father gets sick and goes to the hospital and this is where Zo informs Joke that he didn't have time for him because he had to focus on "more important things", like that's not a crappy thing to say to the boy who adores you. So Zo's mother has to tell him...Yeah, your boyfriend is kind of important. I rolled my eyes so hard they almost fell out of my head. And then the final episode, Joke is having dinner with his family and his father is being an ass...and of course, Zo shows up to give the dad a long speech, which makes Joke's dad "see the light" and then my eyes finally fell out of my head from rolling them so much. I love Joong and Dunk and they have great chemistry, but this show was not it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Surpresa boa
Eu confesso que não comecei a assistir com muitas expectativas, mas terminei essa série com uma sensação gostosa de conforto. É importante falar da evolução do Dunk, pois a série anterior, que ele também fez par com o Joong, deixou a desejar tanto na atuação como na química, Agora, ele aparece mais maduro, talvez pela construção do personagem, que é diferente da outra série, e com atuação melhorada a química entre eles melhorou consideravelmente.O plot é bem clichê na verdade, mas blzeiros vivem de clichês, não é mesmo?
O roteiro nada inovador, traz o personagem de Zo "apaixonado" por Nita, e o personagem Joke, amigo de Nita, promete ajudá-lo a conquistar a garota, com a condição de que ele consiga entrar no clube de debates (esse clube é novidade pra mim). Na verdade, Joke tem a intenção de aproveitar o tempo próximo a Zo para conquistá-lo, e ele consegue! Mais clichê impossível.
Gostei muito do casal secundário, gostei de não terem vilanizado a personagem Nita, ao contrário, humanizaram ela e mostraram uma amizade sincera entre homem e mulher. Não existiu nenhum drama mirabolante entre os casais, apenas aquela negação dos sentimentos que atormentou Zo após o primeiro beijo, e foi bonito ver o Joke entendendo isso e correndo atrás.
Minha crítica vai apenas para a questão familiar. A família de Zo, com sua alegria ou problemas estava sendo mostrada desde o início, mas sobre Joke, tivemos apenas a aparição rápida de sua avó (uma diva) e no último episódio é que vemos o real problema da família dele, a treta com o pai poderia ter sido explorada de forma mais inteligente.
A parte técnica também não deixa a desejar, não tenho críticas.
Com certeza recomendo essa série, e pretendo assisti-la várias vezes.

Lenta, porém deliciosa!
Eu amei como o romance é construído, não teve traição e a enganação foi Joke já gostar de Zo há muito tempo!Muito fofos, atuação não é das melhores, mas só alguns personagens se perdem ali, Nita foi usada na medida certa. Vovó maravilhosa, só gostaria de saber como o pai de Zo ficou, se ele foi pra casa ou não.
Os beijos muito fofos e a cena da primeira vez do casal foi muito fofa na medida certa!
Sorri demais toda vez que eles se beijavam ou se abraçavam, fofos DEMAIS!
Lembrei um pouco do meu relacionamento, nesses longos 7 anos foram muitos altos e baixos e ficamos juntos, crises vieram, mas relacionamento é isso, é algo fluido que precisa estar todo tempo se adaptando as pessoa envolvidas!
Muito amor e respeito envolvido!

It did what it needed to do.
Honestly, al the low scores... I don't get it.Was this the best show I've ever seen? No.
Will I rewatch it? Probably not, but then again, I don't easily rewatch a show.
Was the storyline the best thing ever written? No.
Does it have to be? Also no.
Did the actors have great chemistry? Yes, they did. Sure, there are couples with better chemistry, but I have also seen couples with zero chemistry. JoongDunk are solid, but I'm sure they'll improve the more they get to work together.
Are they absolutely adorable together? Yes, they are.
Did the show do what it needed to? Yes. It's a show you can watch and relax. You don't have to have to follow along every five seconds, otherwise you lose the plot. You can just sit down, enjoy it and breathe after a long day of work.
To me, this was a good show. Not perfect, but definitely not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Below a serve for a show in 2023, but had potential for a good show in 2021
I personally believed that the show wasn't that bad, but it could've been better. Joongs acting in my personal opinion really saved the show, and if Dunk got acting lessons the show would've been way better. The thing is Dunks acting isn't even as bad as a lot of 'unpopular' thai actors. (i put these in quotes because there are some actors who are popular but still have bad acting aka popular for their face) Plus, they could've organized the plot in a manner where we could tell the point of each detail and what it meant to the story. To me it seemed a bit all over the place, but it did have good potential. Thinking positively, the show wasn't as bad as what i've seen with your average low budget bl. It's cute for a show would be low budget.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Not bad as the reviews say
The series in my personal opinion is not bad as the reviews suggest. To be honest, the first episodes were kinda boring but it gets better as it goes on. I feel like the story is a bit too normal but I'm fine with that tho. The main thing and the best is the cast. JoongDung's chemistry is so good and I love AouBoom. This series was on my watchlist like way too long but I was hesitant because of the reviews. But no no. I actually liked it compared to all the reviews. Definitely not the best but not the worst too.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Vide mais mignonnet
Sincèrement pas très intéressant, juste mignonnet. Je trouve que GMMTV fournit à JoongDunk des séries quand même assez limitées, notamment niveau scénario (en clair, c'est vide). Cette série ressemble tellement à Star In My Mind, les personnages sont similaires, que ce soit pour Joong ou Dunk, le personnage de Joong lorgnant également du côté de Sarawat dans 2gether. Si je trouve que Dunk s'est amélioré, il est quand même le maillon faible du couple côté jeu. Peut-être qu'il n'est d'ailleurs pas possible de leur donner des séries plus ambitieuses comme pour ForceBook, JimmySea ou PondPhuwin.Après avoir dit tout cela, leur alchimie est ce qui sauve cette série du naufrage et qui permet de donner un 7 (je suis quand même assez gentille dans ma notation) parce que c'est toujours adorable de voir JoongDunk ensemble. Je conseille d'ailleurs les BTS, qui sont presque plus affectueuses que le drama lui-même.
Un problème que j'ai eu par contre avec le couple JokeZo est cette impression de déséquilibre dans leur relation, que Joke est plus investi, plus amoureux. Les scénaristes et/ou réalisateur ont d'ailleurs rajouté des scènes insistant sur l'amour de Zo.
Le couple AouBoom et les rôles secondaires, pourtant donnés à des acteurs GMMTV solides et familiers, sont anecdotiques.
