YAKDEE ARE LOVE
After a long time I found myself mesmerized by a couple in a bl series. I am so glad I watched this show i have completely obsessively and wholeheartedly fallen for great and inn as actors and for YAKDEE both as a couple and individuals in this series. They are perfect for each other ❤️ watching this show made me realise why I watch bl series it is all those cute moments, hot moments and funny moments but most importantly it is the feeling of happiness you get from watching two people falling in love and see their love blossom without any judgment or boundaries or rules that dictate our real lives.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

wonderful!!
i originally only started watching this one because i was bored and needed to waste time. i didn't think anything would come of it but i was hoping to be entertained.i proceeded to become deeply obsessed with the show for the next 2 months.
love triangles, or squares or whatever, have never been something i've been drawn to in TV, so imagine my surprise when i couldn't stop thinking about this one.
many bare minimum things to be praised here, so i'll get that out of the way - i like that taem wasn't villainized like many women in BL. she was wonderful and loveable and i adore her.
discussions of safe sex, including STD vaccines. discussions of mental health issues and trauma in a normal way, that doesn't blame the affected character or makes them seem like a bad person. i like kao - i LOVE kao. being an ace lesbian myself, it's always difficult to see yourself represented in media. often times, queer relationships are inherently made sexual. and if you're asexual, you can't be interested in a relationship, right?
i loved that they showed kao's struggled with being a gay, asexual man - it made me feel seen. he's someone who has an intimate understanding of sex, but it doesn't interest him. many times, asexuality is attributed to inexperience or a lack of knowledge. kao doesn't have that, and he's still ace. i wish there was more screentime for him! i was really hoping for it. either way, i'm so happy he ended up finding someone who was right for him <3 love blue as well!!
the relationships characters had between each other was beautiful. kao and dee's friendship, dee and his grandma, yak and yei, all different kinds of platonic love that was so comforting to watch.
i actually quite liked when they focused on those relationships for a bit, i saw many people criticize the later episodes for being boring, but i thought it was a really nice way of exploring the characters and their bonds deeper.
now, of course, i do have to give some words for the main pairing as well. dee and yak are both very lovable characters to me. they both have some struggles, and they don't act perfect sometimes. but they communicate pretty well most of the time and their relationship is one i genuinely found myself very invested in and actively rooting for.
(also, the tropes were so good... that brief enemies to friends... the fake dating going into friends to lovers... UGHHH fake dating is the best trope ever. you're telling me they're pretending to be in love, but then someone actually develops feelings??)
they are very supportive of each other. great and inn are wonderful actors and portray them so well. if there's one thing i would criticize, it's that some (!!) of their kissing scenes felt a bit stiff lol
i think there's room for improvement there. otherwise, i just really loved the show.
honorable mention for oyei and cher, i personally didn't feel much for their relationship, but the episode of them getting engaged did get me teary-eyed. i <3 queer joy!
-some criticism: relationship starts off with them having intercourse while one character is under the influence. he seems to be (surprisingly) present and he remembers everything afterwards, but it still makes me feel a bit weird, because minutes earlier, he literally passed out. i don't drink, so i don't know what it's like to be drunk, but i don't think that's how it works?? lmao
sometimes you need to close your eyes at inconsistenties like this ?
-ep 3, yak mentioned worrying about his public image for dating a man, and this worry is truly NEVER brought up again. not sure why it was said if they were just gonna abandon it like he didn't say it ?
-i don't really understand why they made ter and taem end up together. it was pointless. and to be honest, i think she deserves someone better.
there's more things but honestly my memory is not very good, so i'll leave it at this. anyways, i really liked this. it's my favorite BL released this year, and probably ranks high in my all time favs. i love rom-coms. we need more rom-coms of adults. they are truly WONDERFUL! and i hope we will see more of greatinn :)
i'm gonna miss this show so much! next week, i will sacrifice my soul to dee / yak. stay tuned for that

started off real steamy
Started off real steamy and then took a sweet romantic turn. I’m a total sucker for the fake-turned-real relationship trope so it was right up my alley. It was fun to watch their cute romance slowly blossom each week. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable; GreatInn nailed it. The second CP were also cute to watch, and the OST is super catchy.I loved this series from start to finish and really looked forward to a new episode each Saturday. I’m sad that it has ended, but would happily rewatch.

Just A Joy
The perfect romcom! I smiled through every episode. Loved Great\Inn together and hope we get this pairing again. Though friends with benefits has been done in BL before, the way Wandee and Yak enjoyed each other’s company so much that pure joy turned to love felt unique and different.Both main characters are green flags with great chemistry and entertaining leads with pretty good comedic timing.
Also I kept singing along to the theme song. “BABY!” Will be in my head forever.

Just what I needed
This series was just what I needed. I loved every minute. The actors were all adorable and talented. I’m a new Inn fan now!I thought the comedy was perfect. No cringe and goofiness, just laughs. They all went through several emotional struggles which added depth and character to each of them.
Loved how everything turned out and how they all supported each other. Wish real life was more like this.
Side note: I just finished Beauty Newbie before this and Great was completely different in that. Such a good actor.

Hot boxer and sexy doctor? OH YES!
I love how positive the vibe of this show is- been a while I watch BL like this!While I absolutely love NCs, I appreciate how this show is able to carry its weight without having to sell NC only.
This is one of the rare FWB show that is actually non-toxic but healthy! I love how Yoryak and Wandee supports each other dreams, how they care and understand one another and just so many of the lovey doves moments. I melt!
Highlight for me is actually Cher!!! I'm a big fan of OyeCher- I want them with their own series! I love how their love story really feels DEEP and REAL= like it's very realistic instead of only fluffy. I really love the proposal scene. It is the simplest yet sweetest one I've watched. It totally touches my heart and makes me cry. I mean, there isn't anything near fancy yet its beautiful and sincere.
I also love how this carries positive message such as HPV vaccination, normalising mental health care and the implicit meaning of "My Good Day, MY Choice"! They even educate on asexual a little, really well done at GMMTV is constantly expanding its inclusivity!
Very well done on ending where there's no loose end and everyone has their happy ending, including Dr. Ter and Thaem! Yay!
This is a funny, meaningful story, inspiring message, and great acting too- especially Great who plays Yoryak!

What's not to love... ?
You got a good story going on, that's always a plus in my book. Let's not forget the hotness you get from just looking at them then put in great chemistry and you got it going on. There is also great music throughout the series, get to laugh why you watch, who doesn't love to laugh? Oh you also get some serious moments that some people go through in life, but it's not played out like in some series/movies.As a plus the other couple (his brothers relationship) are a good fit. They were so cute together. Even when they were fighting, though that could be because Cher was just to cute. They were kind of funny in there fights. ?
Gotta love the witty retorts you get to hear from all of them at times as well, one of the reasons you get to laugh in this series.
All in all if you want to watch something fun yet serious at times, that will give you a good laugh throughout the series, with great chemistry and hotness this would be a great one to watch. I would re-watch this one again and again. and I don't say that often. ?

Guaranteed Good Day to Everyone Watching
Wandee Goodday is not only good in BL standards, it's just a really really good romcom overall. It is technically your standard fake dating + FWB to lovers trope, but every aspect of it was done to perfection.Here are the things they have done right:
1. These dudes are just so tender towards each other even without the status of "boyfriends". I think because both of them are well developed characters who are just generally kind, their relationship works out insanely well. Eventhough the timeline is short, they developed such a quick friendship and the process of them falling for each other is so organic. Yoryak doesn't immediately let go of his crush on Taem, which is expected, but I love that he subconsciously kept picking Wandee even when he hasn't fully acknowledged his feelings for him. When he does acknowledge his feelings for Wandee, he instantly just had tunnel vision for Wandee. Although Wandee is more hesitant and he isn't as "all in" as Yak is, he is insanely thoughtful and is committed to making their relationship work.
2. No toxic hypermasculine mess! Idk what's up with these men but Yoryak especially is so emotionally well adjusted?? Yes he has unresolved trauma but both him and Wandee are so good at ensuring that their trauma and issues don't affect other people negatively. Not once did they ever lash out at each other because of their own issues and insecurities which is often the case with other dramas.
3. Found family vibes with the 4 Phadetseuk boys. Yei, Cher, Yak, and Dee all have excellent chemistry with each other and there is just so much love between them. Cher stole the show for me, he is literally the biggest angel and I absolutely love how considerate he is towards everyone.
4. Aspec rep in Kao along with casual LGBTQ rep with other casts!!! I have longed for the day where I see aspec rep on BL series and I have finally gotten to see it. I also love that bisexuality is not demonized in this series - Yoryak definitely is attracted to men and women and there's no "oh I'm only gay for him" type of crap pulled in this series.
5. Great world building! I love that the series does not just revolve around their romance but also their professional goals, aspiration, and family life.
6. The characters are unapologetically horny for each other and it's not just one sided. I love how the sex are kinda silly too and they just really enjoy each other both emotionally and physically.
Ok now onto the not so good:
There's only one really - I just don't get why Yoryak would go to an orthopaedic surgeon for PHYSIOTHERAPY??? girl go get an actual physio. The medical aspect of this drama is so off base that I'm not sure whoever they hired as a medical consultant knows what they're talking about. Also very minor issue with the preachy nature of Kao's aspec identity, I wish that his love journey is more like an onion where you slowly peel the layers and it's not just a monologue of what asexuality is.

Amazing Chemistry!
I am loving the chemistry of Inn and Great as well as the overall chemistry of the cast! The story line with a boxer and a doctor is fresh and exciting for BL and so far we are diving in to get to know our characters with so much sizzling energy! How can you not enjoy this series!? The episodes go by so quickly and honestly I've watched a few again while waiting for the next episode to drop! Awesome series and can't wait for more! On the ropes? Step into the ring (-: One of the top BL's of 2024 so far.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
My type of show
I am admitting that yes. I am enjoying this one. I am a fan of this type of humor and content, so in the end I am a simple person.I'll keep it short. I love what GMM is bringing to the table with this one, especially with the new fresh leads. Initially I looked at the GMM lineup and was oney excited for another FourthGem series.. but damn.. this one is coming in and changing my mind. I wanted a boxing show somewhere in drama land, and I get this.. ontop of that it's a BL- a GOOD BL. Wow, I am here to stay. I will say a lot more when the time comes, but since there is only one episode I am just recommending to as many people as I can through this.
Don't watch if you aren't a fan of se*ual comedy, do watch if you are. Self awareness is all there, budget, acting, visuals, I can't complain yet. So now its a 9/10.

The vaccine propaganda was the final nail in the coffin. The HPV vaccine is one of the most dangerous after the Covid vaccine. That people STILL have no clue ... unbelievable. I saw a young girl's life destroyed because of that vaccine. So before someone is coming for me, maybe you look into it yourself. And don't go to the CDC for information. Pharma is corrupt. Now they want to make more money and advise this vaccine to guys too! You can't make this shit up! The greed knows no limit.
Back to the series: very charismatic actors, very good acting, nice humor, nice OST. But the series is trash. A guy who had plenty of sex in his life, but still didn't kiss anyone? This is a fantasy, only done to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats waiting for the big kiss.
I'm not doing that.
If you think MSP was bad, where we were teased with the kiss, god knows on how many occasions, to the point where it felt like one character didn't want to kiss, then think again. This is worse.
I feel offended in many ways watching this series.
I'm not that thirsty and not that stupid. They should just make those guys kiss and get over it.
I will wait for a real mature series where those two act, and not this kindergarten story. And if someone thinks I'm only interested in sex and kisses - please! This old accusation again? I'm not interested in watching those dumb scenes (will they, won't they kiss!). That's all! SUCH A DAMN WASTE OF MY TIME!
Not wasting anymore of it, that's for sure.
