Almost lost my mind with the annoying dragging of the lie till the last ep
Was this a good BL series? - No
Was the script good? -No
Was it entertaining? - Not really
Did I like it? - Not really
Did I keep watching it? - well hell yes!!!
Do I know why? - I have absolutely no idea.
Still I don't know what i feel about this series. Like I said it was not the best one and probably I will never re-watch it. But something made me keep watching it every week and to my surprise enjoying it as well.
I think it is the acting of the leads. They are good and have great chemistry. The side characters acting was also good. Otherwise I was absolutely frustrated with the script.
1.First off all the pilot trailer seemed really thrilling, but the series itself was nothing similar to that. There was nothing new rather then the general troupe of twin swap and love story in confusion.
2. Omg!!! I can't even complain about the writing of the series, what could have been a really great plot.. they just ruined it by dragging the lie to the very last episode.
3. The plot of the spy seemed to be completely unnecessary. It did add some jealousy element but that could have been easily done without the spy plot as well.
4. Never fully explored the backstory of both the twins. Why is Zee so rude to his teammates. I really don't like him.
Anyway, In conclusion I absolutely loved Frame and Ryan together. I support them and hope they get better projects in future would love to see them again.

A GUILTY PLEASURE !!!
Trust me when I say this:I literally went from WTF is this cringe fest to waiting every week, biting my nails, speculating theories to watch every new episode that airs. episode.
For those who haven't started watching the series and is in a dilemma to start it or not . Let me tell you, either you'll like it or you don't , there is no in between. Either you are the one who would just drop it after few episodes of you'd be totally absorbed in it. I am the latter.
Don't just go by the reviews of the people . Specially the ones that keep watching and but also keeps complaining about it like, it's all s*x , too many NC scenes, weird dialogues etc. etc. Like!!! Bruh!! What were you expecting, it's clearly written over in the disclaimer as well as the synopsis, what's this about... They clearly knew what they were signing up for.
Let me help you a bit on what not to expect, if you are planning to watch:
1. If you're expecting typical romance or romantic premises. My dear it's not, it's s*x.
2. You are not watching something categorically Oscar level, it's just entertainment, so have an open mind.
3. If you have main couple syndrome , this is not for you. There are many couples and all are mains.
4. Should prepare yourself for some English and Japanese with thick Thai accent. It might be cringe at first, but you will start to enjoy it.
5. If you're into green flag characters. Everyone here is fckd up.
6. Watch shows with only happy endings.
7. MOST IMPORTANTLY: If you want to watch it with parents!! Should think twice!
Coming back to the story. The story will get you hinged. All couples have different storylines and they are all connected. What I liked, the most about this series is it gives the audience the opportunity to judge every character and situation based on their perspective. That's what entertained me the most.
PLAYBOYY was not the best BL series, but it's definitely the best on it's own!! It has always entertained me with every episode. I will proudly say this that this series has been MY GUILTY PLEASURE!!!
SO If you have patience, keep and open mind to go on with the story: You will fall in love with it

Had high expectation from the pilot, but was disappointed
I really think , dangerous romance didn't do justice to an amazing actor as Perth. And all goes down to his pairing with Chimon. At some point Chimon's acting really felt like forced. It was like Chimon really didn't want to act in a BL. Thus their chemistry did not feel real at all. If Gmmtv have more projects with Pert Chimon , they should better do some intensive workshops to improve the chemistry or just pair Perth with someone else. Perth deserves better?. This boy is incredible and has the potential to deliver legendary roles as in Love by chance. As for Chimon, if he doesn't want to do a BL, better not cast him in one for the sake of popularity because it is showing in the character he acts.Name and Saifah could have saved the show given more screen time. I am soo in love with them. BL couple or not ,they are really incredible
Summary: I am really dissapointed with the show, I really like episode 1and 2 though and after that it just went down.
Also let's take a moment to point out that why a very sensitive issue such as bullying was addressed soo poorly in the series. How come the kid who was bullied became soo good friends with the person who bullied him. Okay but, is it really okay? Was there any redemption or apologies? I don't know how to feel about it, seriously.
Note: Please give papang more lead roles. He is such a good actor and has soo much potential.

Hae Jin and Sang Eun story would have been intresting and might have saved the show
Okay!! I am not just saying this because of having the so called ''Second lead syndrome'' butt hell the story of the main leads was soo boring. The chemistry was Bleh!!!, the acting was Bleh!!, the story itself was Bleh!!.I truly believe that the story of the second lead 'Hae Jin' and ' Sang Eun' could have been interesting. Since there was not much in the story of the series itself If they have explored the typical K-drama troupes between the second lead portraying a celebrity and Sang Eun as a disguised con contract bride (or whatever she was), with their constant bickering and past connections, exploring their difficult family history, becoming friends and having with some celebrity dating issues. This type of storyline could have been more interesting than what they gave us. I believe when there is not much to the story, things like this might have made the viewers engaged.
Also, I was really happy that they introduced the concept of LGBTQ+ in the series, but would have loved more if they explored the characters and their life more ....... not just keeping them as just a side character. At least, am happy that they didn't just make a queer person just a funny character, a villain, or just killed them .....like they usually do in mainstream K-drama.

A MASTERPIECE ever made!!!
*This series is an Art*This is the first Thai series I have ever watched, let alone the first BL and I have due respect for the cast and crew. I had no idea what was the hype about BL shows, let alone I was aware of the Thai entertainment industry and their works. I absolutely had no idea why Bilkin and PP were. As a viewer I have always looked for good cinema. That's when I came across this series and I regret not knowing about this sooner.
While watching, I felt every emotion each one of the characters portrayed. The story is a slow paced story but it's slow pacing didn't harm the series as a whole instead it gives the audience to truly feel the depth of the scenes.
I am writing this review probably after rewatching this series for the 100th time.
I personally want to give award to everyone associated with this series, the actors, the director, the scriptwriter, the cinematographer etc. Literally everyone!!! It is soo good . What a show really, it's really art. Other shows should really take inspiration from this show. Unfortunately this series (being my first Thai series) has just set my standards soo high for a BL, I am hardly pleased by other fairly good series as well.
I am looking forward to see more of the actors Billkin and Pp.
I will probably watch it again. There is no stopping...

Another Healthiest relationship
It was a good enjoyable BL show. Honestly, I didn't had much expectation to this show, but instead, it was way better than I expected. I was literally surprised by the improvement of ForceBook acting (from Enchante to this). Very well done boys!! and I always appreciate and cheer for actors who tend to improve their acting after every project. They are not exceptional actors in the first place, but they played their roles super well and did justice to their characters. Also, they look really good with each other, other than the fact that both are incredibly pretty.But the highlight and takeaway from this series is the relationship between Gun and Cher. They are one of the healthiest couple. Everytime one has problem the other puts all his things and issues aside to just be there for him. It just makes my heart smile just looking at them.
I also liked the other characters. The friendship between Cher and his friends felt pure and good.
In terms of the story, There were some potholes in the story especially the introduction of some heavy topics in a lighthearted show. Even though they managed to cover in solving those issues in the end, it seemed a bit rushed.
Overall the good acting and chemistry of each of the characters in the show somehow saved the show and made it intresting.
Note: Forcebook really need to do more mature roles. They just slay. Specially Book, like I was soo impressed in the scenes where he gets angry. The scene where he fights with Gun and the Bathroom scene where he just lashes out ,was soo good. He does these kind of roles soo well. Plese give ForceBook more angry roles!!!. I am sure it will be a hit.

If it was me, I could wrap up this whole series in 4 episode
This series started out soo good. It was intense, suspense ,drama. I was really invested in the story. The acting of the cast was also promising. First, off all with the story. The writers had soo many options to put into the plot, they could have given us plot twist after plot twist. The story has the potential to do that. They could have given us such a suspenseful unexpected plot twist with the twin thing. Could have just made Blue alive or shown how and why Nail looks soo much like Blue. But there was absolutely nothing.Unnecessary,characters and story made the show just a boring watch right after the first few episodes.
The running time of episodes shortened and BTS time increased to a point it felt like we had 20 minutes of episode and 40 minutes of BTS.
Nail and Him just forgave Te, when he literally tried to kill Nail... !! With a scooter (LOL!!) , but still tried killing and there was not any redemption or anything.
That guy Pai, on the earth doesn't looks like a tattoo artist. Please!!... There were like 0 tattoos in his body. Is that even possible?
Although I am really disappointed with the writers and directors.
I truly liked the acting of the cast. They were good and it can be seen that they took their job seriously and delivered well, with what they were given.

6 episodes were not enough
I liked everything about this series but first of all the acting of the cast was great.The story is soo endearing, of how two person with equally tired of life, finds comfort and happiness in each other through the medium of food. They didn't talk much, but just being in the company of one another only for a short time in the day was just enough.
It really touched my heart how , Hiro found a reason to return home early from work and was always looking forward to it. Him expecting and wanting to hear Kai's voice more even without realising.
On the other hand, Kai finding a reason to live and continue with his life by taking care of Hiro , making him food. Is the the perfect example of how two broken souls can be healed when they find their other half.
What I did not like about this series was:
1. The running time was too short with only 6 episodes. I would have liked to see Hiro and Kai's life together as a couple.. more and how they balance work and life together.
2. ABSOLUTELY, hated the boss making his employee work like robots.
3. All the food that were wasted, that Hiro didn't ate.
It is a quick watch, but totally worth it.

Just another forgettable watch, but OffGun's chemistry sparks
What can I ask more than OffGun kissing in every episode. Their chemistry is certainly strong but with this story, I just couldn't enjoy that much. Maybe because I am still in OffGun Not me era and couldn't get out of it yet.No doubt it is just a easygoing,lighthearted show. I was not invested in the storyline. To explain it more clearly; it wasn't like I would watch one ep and think about it all week and keep waiting for the next. This was more like I would watch just because I want to watch not giving much thought to it and have nothing else to watch.
What I liked about this show:
1. I liked the friendship dynamics of both the groups(Prem Dy Unky) and (Ten Fy Metha) .
2. Comedy was fine in the beginning.
3. Dynamite's character development, from being annoying to mature.
4. Offcourse, Off gun kissing in every episode
5. Food dishes.
Overall: Not the best but not the worst either...

A very creative project, definitely a must watch except just take out the character Dao?
Not anyone has done a good thriller fantasy BL drama and have executed it well. Specially with this good CGI production. This one I must say is the best.Everything is on point the thriller plot that connects to the main story, has been executed really well.
The VFX effects were really good. Made the series even more intresting to watch.
Acting of the whole cast was on point.
And yes there are things that I didn't like:
1. The character Dao: Why was she even there in the series. I rarely dislike a non-negative character but My God!!! She was the most annoying character in the series. Not just the character, the actress was equally stiff in her acting. She needs to work on it...
2. Unnecessary comedic angle introduced between Khem and Thong made me Cringe
3. Why are the camera angles in the kiss scene soo bad?
4. Last episode Love scene could have been shortened and they could have detailed showed what happened to Montree or how Tharn convinced Chalothorn.
And offcourse I need to give special mention to Yai:
This man totally charmed. I have become a fan of him ??. Everytime he was on screen I couldn't focus on anything else other than his ?. Lol!! Sorry not sorry!! Everyone wants a friend like him. I wish we could have seen more of his romantic story with Sand... It would have been absolutely beautiful.❤️. Please cast him in other projects!!!

Watched it for Pavel, ended up falling in love with Nut; overall entertaining watch
I will start with what I didn't liked :1. My first complaint I'd why promote the other couples when we are going to have basically nothing of them in the series. I was soo invested to see the developement of other couples.. but not only there was barely anything, but we also didn't get the backstory of the characters. That Would have made the series really interesting.
2. The plot in the mid felt a bit boring; I was really uninterested in Babe and Charlie. I was really bored of Babe being disappointed in Charlie, them immediately making up and a love scene and the same thing repeating again and again.... Some of the love scenes between them could just had been edited out and gave room for the other aspects of the story.
3. Charlie's acting felt a bit weaker than the other cast, or maybe the other cast's acting was better so they just outshined him.
4. Sponsorships of toothpaste etc in the story , took most of the time and made me feel a bit disconnected somehow. (I know they are important, but there were just too many of them taking too much time)
5. The storytelling was also not the best( the Omegaverse concept was not properly introduced, it was hard to follow for someone as me who has no idea of that multiverse)
6. Shitty, ending!!! They had one chance to wrap the story up with a fantastic ending but damn !! They ruined it. They could have ended it up in a way that promotes the series for potential spin-off with other couples, but no!!! They really ended it.
What I liked:
1. Offcourse the acting, all the cast did a good job. The ones that stood out the most were Pavel and Nut. I just can't praise enough of how good their acting was. Specially, the the emotional moments. I was crying my heart out.
2. Good production value.
3. Engaging characters and new concept
4. The songs are also good.
Overall, i wouldn't say it's an excellent series. But definitely is an entertaining watch. I enjoyed the series.

Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun

Toki's expression are everything, also with a lot of running.
First and foremost, Toki is my favourite character. He is literally someone who just came out of a Manga. Episode 1 and 2 were my favourite. It was peak comedy.While a lot of people might argue the fact that they don't like characters acting the same way it is in the manga. I personally love it. It is soo fun to see those unrealistic expressions and funny shouting and people around them acting normal.
Every character in the show were green flag (Except for the bullies). Even Sahara's ex Nekoto also didn't create much of a drama and just encouraged Sahara to confess to Toki.
However, I would have prefered some intense plot with the love triangle to add some jealousy and realisation. Anyway, for a lighthearted drama such it might have been too much.
The only thing I think was lacking in the drama was the chemistry between the leads. Some lovey moments and offcourse a better kiss could have solved this. But I also do understand that a lot of people are not comfortable with teacher student romance and Probably the directors decided to take the safe side.
It was fun to watch anyway, Japanese BL never disappoints.

Trying to put unnecessary comedy ruined the series
Sorry not sorry!!!It was a disaster and here are some facts I think were fuel to it:
1. I couldn't concentrate in most of the episode with Jade's continuous shouting through the episode. GOD!!! It just made me super exhausted just by looking at him
2. Why make Jade's character so dumb and annoying just to introduce a comedic angle to the story(which i didn't even found funny). I haven't read the novel but wasn't Jade's character meant to be Kind and Naive. Not dumb and annoying.
3. Trying to stretch the story, by letting Jade not ignoring all the obvious flirting by Mai and still Jade trying to match him up with someone else..
4. Why KingUea are soo different here than they were in Bedfriend and had so little screentime
5. Jade character should have been given more influence of how he was the middleman and also exploring his backstory more.
I think the whole blame for this is to be given to the writers and directors. I will explain why:
It's said that an actor is a directors product. So in general there are high chances of having bad perfomance of the actors ,if the direction is bad. Well in some cases the actors are equally bad in acting as well. But this was not the case here. We have seen Tutor and Yim before, they are decent actors. I personally was cheering for them when they were given their own series as leads. They have good chemistry and are visually appealing as well.
I was left utterly disappointed .
Anyway the second couple were cute and were the only thing that made me watch the series through the end.

Entertaining but Ping needs acting classes
Why Why why??? Does Guy just is ready to fall for anyone ,who just comes and gives him a bit of attention. He just jumps from one person to other in a matter of seconds and is ready to kiss the other person right after his breakup and then telling that he still loves is ex. I mean is it only me who finds it hard to digest....I mean it would make sense for a character like Guy with low self esteem and introverted personality, to have feelings for someone who gives him attention. BUT is that true for every person he meets..... Come on Boy, just make a decision of whom you actually love.
I am sure a lot of people will hate me for saying this but, I seriously think that the actor Guy(played by Ping) seriously needs some acting lessons. I couldn't just feel any emotions from him when he acted. Mostly when acting for emotional scenes his depiction of sadness barely touched my heart, rather just brushed off from the surface. I have seen him in AiLong Nhai and it was the same him playing the cute annoying character.
The series however is entertaining I didn't have much of a expectation from it but it was a nice watch overall. I think 8 episodes is enough and did justice to the series. However, they gave Whal's character too much screen time. It would have been nice if they cut some of his scenes and given the time to show the relationship developement of the main leads (or just some sweet boyfriend moments).
Overall an entertaining watch and Binge-watch worthy.

Why so hyped?
Okay!!! I finally watched it and will write my honest review on this series. Me as an amateur Thai BL series watcher, I don't understand the hype about this drama. Maybe because I watched other BLs series such as "I told sunset about you", "Kinn Porsche", " Bad buddy" "The Untamed" or"A tale of 1000 stars" before I watched this series and therefore it has set high standards for me.The worst thing for me about this series was the story and the chemistry between leads. I mean okay there was shortage of romantic chemistry between the leads here but even though if it was aiming to establish itself as a partial BL and bromance series, It failed terribly. I am not saying that there needs to be more intimate scene ,to make a series better. I always look for the narration and the acting. I mean let's take an example of the chinese series " The Untamed" or "Advance bravely" . These shows made me feel all the sizzling chemistry of the characters in every scenes that have left an imprint in my mind forever.
Also, the idea of the story seems to be intresting and would have been great if done with good execution and acting. They could have been given a better development of the story for the side couple. I also felt a bit of the plot to be slightly homophobic in the story at its initial episodes when Green was portrayed as an annoying character and Tine avoided him. Also the double standards of Tine being annoyed by Green pursuing him , by constantly following him and trying out different tricks and Tine doing the same thing with Sarawat. I mean even though it was supposed to be fake ... I have left no words to say. Just why???
Talking about the leads Both Bright and Win are good actors (considering the other projects) but the visuals and acting here did not aid to make the audience feel the emotions and compassion. Their chemistry was on and off with some awkward moments. I believe this is because the makers of the series did not invest time in workshops and thought the visuals are enough to make people's heart flutter(which seems to be true ,considering the hype).
Overall, it's a okay series and you can watch it for the Mesmerizing visuals of both Bright and Win ( Like come on !! I am really not complaining, they are beautiful)
But other than that , shouldn't expect more.
