I Detest GMMTV'S attempts at adaptations
I love Gemini and FOURTH which is why I have to drop this at episode 1 or I will begin to dislike them. It's not their fault but in my opinion GMMTV has dropped the ball in one way or another in every adaptation I've seen including FIND YOURSELF, F4: THAILAND, CHERRY MAGIC, OSSAN'S LOVE (which hasn't premiered yet but...) right now Im giving another adaptation from GMMTV in A LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL (I adored both Chinese and Korean versions) yet so far the Thai version is set on suck. Dew and Neo are 2 of my favorites but not even their charm and acting can save a GMMTV ADAPTATION.Back to My Love Mix Up. Why Japan keeps allowing a place like GMMTV butcher their source material I will never know (I know it's the money)
Fourth is adorable and a good actor but I watched episode 1 and his Atom (Aoki) fell flat for me. And I can't say I blame him because the director should make sure he excels at this role. It's just not there. As for Gemini I was a little more impressed with his Kongthap (Ida) but not by much. Gemini and Fourth have a lot of chemistry but Fourth seems to be trying to hard to pull this off and as such for me their chemistry is lacking here.
I will admittedly say I did not have the privilege of reading the manga so I'm not sure if this Thai Adaptation is closer to the manga then Kieta Hatsukoi. There Aoki was more of an adorable spas yet so lovable against Ida's straight laced smart guy with no concept of what it means to like another person.
Fourth is playing Atom like he wants to be like Aoki but he's more like a slightly different version of Gun (his role in MSP)
So for me I will end with Episode 1 and go watch Kieta Hatsukoi again to show how this really should be done with Aoki, Ida, Hashimoto and Akkun (Aida) in the only version I want to remember.

Bringing Originality but Not as Good as the Original
After seeing some of the negative reviews on this series, it doesn't seem like we're watching the same thing!I already know this will be one of my favs this year. I still fondly regard the original Kieta Hatsukoi, but this Thai remake really does it justice.
Their acting is fine so far, and although it's a bit stiff and could be improved, they're accurately portraying their characters. But I will admit that Gemini and Fourth deliver their lines in an oddly airy way here - maybe it's just me. Compared to MSP, there's something lacking in their delivery here - it's good, but not AS GOOD (a bit of a pattern with this remake).
As for GMM remakes, I didn't bother watching Cherry Magic since it seemed like it kept the same scenes and plot beats and didn't try to bring something new to the table. However, this remake does! Even within the first episode there are new scenes that bring a refreshing revival to this story. There is a different vibe that slightly shifted the personalities of the main characters which I enjoy.
Still, I'm pessimistic about this remake ever being as good as the original. GMM makes their series highly straightforward with internal and external dialogue, which leaves nothing for viewers to figure out themselves. This makes it feel overall preachy by treating us as though we're dumb, and I already felt a bit of that from the start. But we'll see!

I dont’t really understand when people gives it low review because they compares to the japanese version which is BS because thats a totally different show.
I havent watched the whole japanese version because I didnt like the first episode so far. So I just scrolled the episodes and for my taste the japanese version ending was boring.
But I can refer to it.
So I am really satiafied because I liked the thai version much better and the main reason was GeminiFourth acting and Phan was good too. I love the fact that the thai version is based on the whole manga and not the japanese version because the manga wasnt compeleted when the japanese version came out.
I love the cinemtography as well. P’Au is a great director and I love his work so much. I cant wait and I am so excited for episode 2.

dilly-dally
I'm not G4 fan but I used to watch their MSP series and quite enjoyed it. When the official trailer of MLMU was released, I felt a bit odd as it seems like the acting is not as good as I expected. This feeling maintain the same when I watched 1st ep.Fourth acting is ok but in some scences it seems like he gets exhauted and turns out to be stiff.
About Gemini, his acting is a bit no for me :( Tbh, he doesn't do well in those soliloquy scences. I was extremmly impressed by the actor played Ida role in Japanese ver. He did really well in those soliloquy scences so when it comes to Gemini, I was really disappointed. His acting in those scences is so boring and stiff. It makes me feel a bit annoying and really dont want to keep watching this series.
Both fourth and gemini acting make me so confused. I wonder have they ever pay attention to train their skill, like taking some acting skill class to improve or so.
It's kinda disappointed somehow as I like the original Japanese manga. I used to watch the japanese live action ver then dropped after few episodes as I couldn't stand the "overreact" Japanese acting method. That's why I was very excited knowing about the thai ver. But when it's released, it's just so... plain. I'm kinda dragging my feet whether i should keep watching or just drop. Hmmmmm. I wonder will it gonna be better for the next episodes or just keep plain like this.

Gemini Fourth making a history.
To start with, i never watched nor read My Love Mix Up Japanese version, so this review won't contain any comparison.I love G4 couple, these guys can act and they are truly a future of Thailand, so i was really exited to watch their new show. And guess what? I loved it. Gem's acting like "I don't know wtf is going on here" and Fourth's "Veggies are my fave, oh hold on i almost threw up..." Those folks can act for sure.
That's why i don't understand why their new show getting so much hate? Gemini once said "I hope this world will be kind to us". While they have many fans to protect them, there are a lot of haters, who come here and write some shit to drop rating of this show. Bunch of miserable, angry mf with no life. I wish everything you wrote bad about G4 will return to you 10 times more. Shame on you.
P.S. Fourth face when he was eating veggie was so adorable, he's just like those babies who doesn't like broccoli.

this is a adaptation from the manga NOT the jap live action plus it has thai cultures, obviously !
just 2 episodes in and its already so good, i was having very low expectations before it released but now my expectations are extremely high, the cinematography, settings and atmosphere is so on point, Gemini and Fourth really did justice to their given characters, the energy and overdramatic-ness of Aoki is so well protrayed same with Ida, the serious yet kind and always confused so well played, the micro expression go crazy btw ! the chemistry is already so THICK dispite not even being in love yet, tells you enough tbh, i love the changes they made to fit the thai cultures especially with the cinderella scene, they turned it into something extremely romantic and heart touching, every is so on point that i feel like im watching the actual manga in action omg! but so far i have only good things to say about this adaptation series, cant wait for upcoming episodes !!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

GMMTV - STOP ADAPTING MASTERPIECES
I really need them to stop adapting stuff that has already been mastered... Cherry Magic was a 10 and Kieta Hatsukoi was a 10... the style of the manga will always suit a Japanese adaption more than Thai because it's literally Japanese source material so trying to adapt these shows into a Thai setting and culture doesn't work and it becomes very cringe to watch.just got done with the first episode.. I'll give it a 7/10... I agree with a comment below that the directing needs a lot of work and I've been saying for some time that GMMTV production team needs an overhaul and bring in fresh talent... some of the music during the scenes were very odd to me...

Ainda é Cedo Para Quais quer Julgamentos.
Para quem já assiste os Bls da GMM, sabe que a produtora/emissora sempre tem uma pegada de comédia, principalmente nos primeiros episódios, e quando se trata da temática escolar. isso facilita para o desenvolvimento da trama/narrativa.O nosso "Kongthap", o "Tinn" de My School President ficou com uma aparência um pouco mais maduro, enquanto "Atom" permaneceu com a mesma fisionomia.
Pela quantidade de anunciantes, parece que será um BL bom, já que antes de anunciar as empresas analisam o projeto do conteúdo que irá ser exibido.

The songs are amazing by the way, I am happy they are letting both Gemini's and Fourth's vocals shine.
The only thing that could be fixed is the sound in some parts but I can look over it because of how nice the story is unfolding so far!
