Really easy to like
Although I did indeed have higher expectations for this title, I still really enjoyed it.You could very much see the chemistry between Offroad and Daou. They are super cute and it's nice to see how close they are even off screen.
Hope I can see them again in the near future so they can make my heart flutter once more. <3

SÉRIE LENTA E COM UM FINAL BAGUNÇADO
Vamos começar falando do que é positivo, os atores são bonitos e a premissa de enemies to lovers sempre me atrai mas para que funcione tem que existir uma química forte entre os protagonistas para que assim a gente acompanhe a transformação da relação mas não é isso que acontece aqui, então vamos entrar nos pontos negativos.A proposta é ser uma comédia romântica mas o desenvolvimento do casal principal é extremamente lento, você fica facilmente entediado vendo apenas a personalidade mimada do Phumjai e a falta de atitude do Yang.
Existiam ganchos para melhorar a história mas não aproveitaram, poderiam utilizar mais das aulas de chinês para aproximar os dois, poderiam encurtar o triângulo amoroso (que por si só não me agrada) porque chega num ponto insuportável, poderiam evoluir o Phumjai porque ele parece uma criança birrenta a maior parte do tempo que não aceita de jeito nenhum ser contrariado e o Yang poderia ter alguma substancia, ele é um personagem extremamente raso e sem ímpetos.
Por conta de todos esses problemas a química é fraca e quando eles finalmente ficam juntos vem uma avalanche de problemas do mais absoluto nada e que nem fazem sentido, tudo isso no final, então não conseguimos realmente aproveitar o casal em nenhum momento.
Essa foi uma grande decepção.

Funny and Cute but confusing...
I found it funny and cute when they were bickering a lot but what I found was confusing was suddenly apparently Yang liked Tammy (I think that's her name) and he was so in love with her and stuff and I found the story good because it sort of moved slowly but what was confusing was how the plot twist was so random like suddenly Phumjai is the ex of tammy? and then I was so confused about it because then Tammy suddenly liked Yang back but then Yang was happy but was like hesitant sorta and then what I found weird was she gave up and stuff like that so Phumjai can be with him and all of it just makes me go 'huhh?' but other than that, it was a really good series I can't lie about that. The music isn't really catchy lol but the main thing is the show so obviously the music doesn't have to be so good. But really did enjoy this series.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Watch for Daou and Offroad
I'm going to be honest, I only watched this because I liked Daou and Offroad in Century of Love. I didn't expect too much from this one, and it was exactly what I thought it would be - a sweet, cute BL with not too much going on. Based on the title, I did expect a little more.....translation? Or miscommunication because of language? But none of that happened.Yang (Daou) is opening a business in Thailand, but because he's Chinese, he needs a business partner. He ends up in a partnership with Phumjai (Offroad), and though the two get off on the wrong foot, they end up opening a convenience store together. Phumjai just has one condition: Yang must teach him Mandarin so he can impress the popular Chinese influencer Tammy. As they work together and Phumjai tries to win over Tammy, feelings between Yang and Phumjai unexpectedly emerge.
Honestly, this show wasn't anything special. It was cute, it was fun, and hit a lot of major tropes in Thai BLs (including kidnapping.....which I still feel was unnecessary). Daou and Offroad have great chemistry, and I didn't feel like any conflict was too drawn out. If you're looking for a quick and light watch, this is a good one, but don't expect anything more than that.

É divertida
É uma série legal e boa para passar o tempo. Indico àqueles que estão desmotivados com essa nova onde de bl chatos.O ponto negativo mais relevante para mim é que o tempo parecia passar muito devagar enquanto assistia, mesmo eu frequentemente clicando na seta para avançar. Mas continua sendo uma obra divertida e fofa de se assistir.

Reseña sencilla
Esta bonita, la vd que al principio no me encantaba pero después mejoro, siento que tiene aspectos muy rescatables, la pareja principal Yang y Phumjai aunque si tuvieron dificultades y malentendidos que siento que hablando se pudieron haber resuelto en lugar de andar sufriendo, tienen una muy buena química y quedo reflejado con las interacciones y los besos, siento que son personajes muy distintos pero a la vez muy parecidos, la pareja secundaria esta bonita pero aunque si tenemos escenas de ellos y todo siento que me falto ver un poco mas de ellos pero tmb se merecen algo bn bonito, los personajes secundarios son buenos me alegra la vd que no hayan hecho a Tammy mala pq al principio si pensé en eso pero al final todo quedo para bien, ya por ultimo nomas por destacar en el cap 6 la escena medio NC es una de las gooddd, les valió que hubiera cámara, la escena del beso en el cap 8 min 50:19 hasta el 51:15 de los mejores besos que he visto, se ve la química, y alch los dos que están gritando como locos pq los ven besándose yo tmb fui uno de ellos, la escena final es hermosa y alch no me esperaba que fueran como predestinados esta muy bonita:)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

The series is actually quite good. No question with the chemistry of the leads because it is overflowing, I even got tired from silently screaming. It was going well not until the debt part, I don't know if its just me but it just seems off. I would love to have it continued to be about him liking Tammy, then realizing that he is not and opening a convenience store at the same place the father built his own before. Overall, it was a cute series that you can finish in just a day. Would love to see more of Daou and Offroad.
Discovered the series because of Daou and his song so I rated the music higher, streaming the song for almost a month now.

belli i due protagonisti, ma la storia è un disastro
questa serie purtroppo è un vero disastro, tra buchi di trama, incongruenze, comportamenti assurdi dei personaggi, cose spiegate male o spiegate nel momento sbagliato, cambi di tono decisamente poco riusciti. Il primo episodio ho fatto fatica a finirlo, con i vari personaggi che si comportano in maniera estremamente immatura e inverosimile. Ho deciso comunque di proseguire la visione e devo dire che tra il secondo e il sesto episodio c'è stato un certo miglioramento: pur tra clichè e incongruenze varie ci sono anche molte scene belle riguardanti il progressivo avvicinamento di Yang e Phumjai che mi hanno fatto apprezzare abbastanza la parte centrale della serie. Gli ultimi due episodi invece sono in caduta libera, non ho apprezzato per niente tutta la faccenda del creditore malavitoso, il cambio di tono non è riuscito affatto, e le incongruenze e le cose spiegate male o in ritardo diventano veramente troppe per poterle continuare ad ignorareVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Simple Pining Love Story
**Brief Synopsis**B (Employee): Phumjai
T (Boss): Yang
- Beginning: B and T work at the same convenience store with them also being business partners. T owns the store and B owns shares. T is chinese so when B needs to learn chinese to flirt with a girl, he goes to T. The more time they spend together, the more attracted T is to B and wishes they could be more. In the name of helping him get the girl, they go on dates so B will know what it's like to be on a date. By that point, it is obvious that B is also attracted to T but hasn't realized his own feelings yet and is still hung up on the girl. However, when he is on the date with the girl, he keeps thinking about T.
- Middle: B confesses that he keeps thinking about T when he is on the date and T, thinking this is B telling him he liked him, kisses B and B freaks out. He runs away and spends the next few episodes avoiding T, which hurts T deeply. After a while, B finally realizes that he actually likes T and gets together with him. They are happy for a while until T's past catches up to him. It is revealed that T is actually hiding from creditors. Realizing they've finally caught up to him, T breaks up with B, tells him he has no feelings for him and was only joking, in order to protect him. At first B doesn't believe if but when T starts acting like that, B slowly gives up, even deciding to give up his shares and leave the store.
- End: Just as B was leaving, T realizes that he'll probably lose the best thing in his life and goes to stop him and begs for him to stay. B, still in love with him, didn't ask for any apologies before accepting him and they get intimate in the store. Later on, T explains to B what was actually going on and B promises to be with him every step of the way. The story ends with them still in love and opening a company together.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors playing B and T. Their chemistry was amazing and their interactions were cute and sweet. They also do a great job in portraying the affection between the characters.
- I really like the foreplay/flirting. B's reactions are very cute as well.
- The characters are very likeable despite each having their own flaws.
- The writing is okay. The story flows well despite the plot being very weak as all the attention is put on the development of their relationship. The story does well in portraying its bittersweet aspect. It's shot really well and we can really feel T's pain when he has to support B in getting the girl he wants when he wants B for himself.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Plot as a whole is ok but there aren’t any plot twists or memorable moments. It is however a very cliche and predictable plot.
- Use of lack of communication and misconceptions as source of angst is overdone. A lot of issues would have been resolved if B and T just talked to each other. T made the universal mistake of making B's decision for him, not even giving him the chance to stay with him. Because of this, T hurt B deeply. I felt that B forgive T too easily but I guess that's because B was desperate for a reason to stay and didn't care about the pain T put him through. The fact that T has given up on B so easily and had to wait until B was leaving to wake up makes me question the sincerity of his feelings.
- Acting is okay overall but there are some scenes that are awkward and some reactions can seem unatural. The scene where B finds out T has been kidnapped, the reaction looks very unatural; the actor failed to communicate the character's worry to the audience.
- The intimate scenes are relatively tame with focus on kissing.
**Conclusion**
An OK watch but probably won’t be revisiting.

tentaram fazer algo e não fizeram nada
posso dizer que esse é aquele clássico tipo de bl que vc assiste quando não tem nada de melhor pra ver.o começo é consideravelmente interessante, aparenta ser um enemies to lovers mas acaba se perdendo muito ja no início da história, coisa que me fez desistir na primeira vez que assisti a um tempo atrás, mas resolvi dar a chance novamente pra ver se era realmente tão ruim e posso dizer que é até aceitável.
sendo beeem sincera o casal principal tem uma química muito boa mas a atuação do yang deixa a desejar em alguns momentos, creio que seja um pouco pela falta de experiência ou até pelo personagem dele ser meio fechado mesmo.
já o phumjai, na minha visão, se saiu um pouco melhor mesmo que ainda possa melhorar, porém não foi algo que tornou a experiência de assistir tão boa.
em relação aos outros personagens, parecem que só colocaram para preencher espaço.
a personagem da tammy poderia ter sido melhor utilizada causando mais impacto na história ou coisa do tipo.
o casal secundário nem sei muito o que falar, todas as cenas deles pareciam as mesmas sendo sincera, não me prendeu nem um pouco e olha que normalmente eu sempre gosto mais da dinâmica dos casais secundários do que os principais.
sobre a história... de começo me aparentou ser algo bem mais divertido e interessante do que realmente foi, parece que eles tentaram fazer algo e não fizeram nada.
mas enfim, não foi uma das melhores experiências ter assistido esse bl mas imagino que de certo pra muita gente, só não funcionou pra mim.
espero ver essa dupla em mais bl's !

The story needs a little bit tweaking to match the perfect chemistry
*happy ending*First of all, the main couple has fire chemistry. Even the kissings are so natural. Yang is also a great actor. I loved his crying scene where I can really see his lips tremble as he breaks down.
I hated phumjai's personality at first. The series being 8 episodes helped a lot in me not hearing another 'Tammy' come out in Phumjai's lips.
Tammy is soo beautiful, I really liked how her character is portrayed.
And, yes, my baby Ngern. I missed him so. That fanservice in episode 8 is chef's kiss hahaha.
Also, his acting is still top notch. I even cried in their breakup scene rather than the YangPhumjai one. Hoping to see more of him in the future.
All casts are really well casted and great that I felt somewhat disappointed that the story didn't utilized it more. Episode 8's first few minites was weird and ridiculous. The feeling of 'responsibility' towards money is also a bit stupid. Hello? There are rich parents over there. Can't even care to tell them that their son is kidnapped? Hello? Still owning it to responsibility? Urgh.
Still, I loved the OPness of Ngern's character. I hope they elaborated more on that as well and also Phumjai's chinese.
Casting and acting is really great on this one. I really liked that they really are speaking in chinese most of the time. I really felt the 'love in translation' part and that made this series great.
Hope they cast these actors in a more thought of series next time. Will still rewatch this though.

The world needs more DaouOffroad in it!
There are few BLs airing now that get as much right as this one does.Was it perfect? No..
But I think what is also important is the feeling we get from watching a good BL, and if we have good memories of it afterward that stick in our head.
Daou and Offroad have great chemistry built from years of friendship as band mates, and in LIT, it can make up for the little flaws in storyline, and other minor technical issues that this show has.
The entire cast put in some great performances, regardless of the sometimes over the top, goofy plot. The production value, cinematography, and OST were also pretty commendable.
I’m sure others can/will poke holes in the quality of this BL for this and that, if they try hard enough, but it really is subjective. As someone who has watched close to 200 BLs over the years, I will still put this in my top 20.
And lastly, I really hope Daou and Offroad have more projects together in the future!
