Back to the "main" storyline (honestly, I only kept watching for Frame and Book), Fuse was annoying as hell. I had a lot of trouble connecting with him, given how indecisive and selfish he is, and eventually gave up. His story with Jean dragged on a season and a half too long, and didn't have enough of a pay-off to be worth it. His story with Tee was all over the place and also dragged on way too long in most parts. It kept taking one step forward only to take one back the next episode and end up right back where it started, which was nowhere interesting.
Overall, I found Make It Right to be kind of meh. I would 100% rewatch a FrameBook cut, but everything else I would have to (and should have the first time) skip through.

The story was okay, it was there and it worked just fine, though if you're into BL you will probably pick up most of the plot from around the first episode. It's still nice to see though. Some of the things that happened are kind of like "wtf? That happens to children???" and the situations were very adult. You can kinda see why they were necessary but it's also a little like they're way too young to be dealing with this or have this, yknow? Other things, like the bad jokes that you "might expect from teenage boys" like fart jokes or being obsessed with sex are there heavily, and a couple of them are actually funny (in my opinion, like the 1,2 table thing ;) ) but the rest were very off-putting for me. Push though! The good stuff is there!! I promise!
The actors are actually pretty good, given that they're super young (at the point of filming the youngest actor was likely 15 years old) and they were playing gay characters. Because of this you can expect that they're not the greatest kissers or fake kissers, though taking in mind their ages it's more understandable, especially as someone who is around the same age as the actors and living in a country (UK) which is more accepting of gay people and LGBT than Thailand is currently, and thinking about if any other boys that I know of around my age they likely would NOT have done what they've done. So they've done an amazing job! I wish all of these boys the best of luck in their future lives!!
(ps I think Wit is one of the, if not THE prettiest of the entire cast, let me know who you thought was the prettiest!)
This series relies heaaaaavily on music, and it's actually okay, though it's not the greatest.
I might rewatch this sometime, but it would likely only be because I might have missed something or I forget things.
Overall I actually really liked the series! At he beginning I was like oh man this is gonna be super cringe isn't it, but I found myself enjoying most of it anyway, secondhand embarrassment really is heavy here.
(Remember to watch season 2!)

(ALMOST HEART) - LONG REVIEW, NO SPOILERSHonestly, I adored this series. It has its flaws, of course, but I couldn't help but love it. It's rather light but deals with important things at the same time. I will now go through some aspects of the show that may (?) be useful for those who haven't watched it. I will not include spoilers so don't worry!
STORY: I liked the concept very much. The whole friend-becomes-something-more-after-a-strange-night isn't new but I liked it despite that. Sometimes it got a little bit confusing because there were soooo many characters. I will talk about that later. But yes, I did like the plot, overall.
ACTING/CAST: Obviously there were some aspects of the acting that should be improved but can we really blame them? They were 15-17 when this show aired and most of them had no previous experience. I genuinely think they did an amazing job. The chemistry was there, even if the kiss scenes were bleh (this means they kind of sucked). Their lips didn't even touch. But other than that, I didn't feel awkward at all watching them interacting, which I tend to feel (it's not because they're boys; I feel this way with straight couples too. Unless they're well portrayed). You could tell they're friends in real life, which made it more enjoyable to watch. And to me, that made up for the somewhat unexperienced acting. I fell in love with Boom (Tee)- maybe because his voice could ease the most violent of storms. Really. I'm not even exaggerating. I really liked Ohm as well but I think his character, Frame, had a lot to do with that. Everyone did a good job in my opinion.
MUSIC: I really liked the music in this show. Specially “?????????? (Kon Mee Sanay)” which played only once (if I'm not mistaken) but it was such a sweet scene! If someone did that to me, I would literally melt. Those who have watched it, will know what I'm talking about.
REWATCH VALUE: I would, 100%, rewatch this. I'm going to start the sequel today or tomorrow but I already want to rewatch this one!
OVERALL: If this was the first BL series I'd ever watched, this would be a solid 10 stars for me. The fact that I gave it 9.5 stars says A LOT about the way I feel about this show. I'm quite new to this Thai bl dramas world but after watching some bl series I've become more critic of what I watch. I reaaaaally liked it. But now I would also like to point some things that did bother me after a while:
- Too many characters. As I've previously mentioned, the story got confusing sometimes because there were too many characters that didn't really contribute to the plot that much? For example, Mo, Fing and Tan. They were good side characters, specially Mo, but when the story focused on them it was boring and useless because they didn't have enough time to develop whatever was going on with them and make the viewers interested. So, in my opinion, they shouldn't have included those little storylines and concentrated on the main characters or at least develop them.
- The advertisements. //sigh// Do I really need to explain this?
- Are teenagers really like that? Frame and Book... "met" in a strange way. I'm 17 years old and I thought it was odd. Maybe I'm just boring? But I don't really go out to drink and have sex? Anyways.
- They forced those gay couples a little too much, in my opinion. Four+ gay couples and one lesbian couple (I mean, that wasn't clear but they did include the lesbian somewhere). Representation shouldn't be in quantity but in quality. And even though I like most of those couples, sometimes it made me think they were obviously doing it for the crazy fans who are starving for skinship between two boys, instead of focusing in facing the real issues that might exist in gay couples (society acceptance, for example). It would be awesome if they improved that in season 2. We'll see.
- That "first" scene with Book & Frame. I don't want to spoil anything but it bothered me a lot. It was not like it ruined the relationship's dynamic for me but it came across as if Book didn't want it and Frame literally forced him. Apparently it was not their intention with that scene but yeah.
NOTE: The ending would have bothered me if I didn't know there was a second season.
I'm sorry about this long review but hopefully it was helpful to some of you. (:

Story/Plot: I like the way they created the plot twists between Fuse and Tee, I can actually relate to how confusing it is for Fuse to choose between two special people in his life. however, I also find Fuse a bit naive for always considering Jean considering all the obvious reason to choose Tee. I like the sweet moments of the Fuse-Tee Ship, both actors are really adorable, not to mention Boom's (Tee) mesmerizing smile. Overall their characters will surely be one of the few BL characters that will be engraved to the hearts of many fans.
Focusing on the plot twist of Frame of Book, I find it really adorable and amusing, I never really read much about the storyline before watching this series because I really wanted to anticipate the events in every episode. and this couple really added on the excitement to watch the next episode. I love the way Frame transition from a Naughty Bad Boy to a Naughty Sweet Boyfriend. Another of the most memorable BL couple to date.
I just wish there were more exposure for Fing, since they also touch a bit of GL here. that added more color to the story.
Acting: Considering most of the lead actors are rookies, I would say that there are parts that I find kinda dull, but I never really mind it since I was enjoying how the story unfolds. I just hope that there were more realistic facial expressions from Boom, Peak, and Toey. Ohm was exceptional, in fact, I find him really good as a rookie actor. overall every actor in the series was adorable.
Music: I love it.. in fact, I have added most of their OST in my playlist that helps me get in the good mood every single day.
Re-Watch: well I have watched 3 times already.... so my review is .. a BIG YES!
OVERALL: Make It Right is a breath of fresh air, feel good Thai BL series, thought acting may be a bit awkward at the first few episodes, but you get to see that most of them get better in the latter episodes. The story is great, the music is really good, I recommend this to all BL lovers.

Then obviously the ships in this show kill me, especially Frame and Book!! They give me life!
This series has left such an impression on me and I will not forget it!
The writers are ginius so if they do a season 3 I don't doubt it will be also a work of art!
Breath if you agree!!!!

However, the couple development is really good especially the Frame x Book couple and is one of the reason, I think, the pairing is famous. The pair's story development is great and one can definitely understand where the romantic feelings come from.
For the main couple, there seems to be a lot of confusion with push and pulls that would make you rethink where their feelings are really progressing too. The chaos makes it hard to see the actual direction of the main couples. The theme song is good, catchy and is appropriate (the kind of music that will give you the feels along with the show). Generally, it is still part of the BL Series one should watch out for.

Make It Right shows the typical high school life of falling in love, yet in most case here with the same sex. It has a good story line that depicts youth. The couples have great chemistry, the production team really did a great job in casting and pairing them. On and off cam the actors are really cute together. I personally love how their friends, family and some people around are so accepting. If only everyone could be like them, then the world can be happier. You can have a good laugh, heart fluttering moments and the skinship of the couples here are no joke. This series can seriously cater the fantasies of fangirls/fanboys without being too much or vulgar since the characters are really young (i feel so old when i saw their age lmao)
Acting wise, I cannot really say that it was good but I gave 8/10 since this is the first show of most characters here. Season 2 is already out you should check it out as well because they kinda grew up and became more mature there and their acting quite improved too.
IF YOU LOVE BL STORIES, THIS IS ONE YOU SHOULDN'T MISS.

Okay, this series was telling about teenagerhood. We had 3 couples in here and 2 couples from outside the school. At the beggining of the episode they introduced us to TeeXFuse couple; Their main problem was created because they screwed up while drunking a bit similar with TGWM story but i think MIR way it better. By adding their friends gang's jokes; Mo, Wit, Ess and Frame which were super funny, they succeed make me laugh out loud. Mo also got my attention in the beggining of the episode. After that, when TeexFuse things getting bore they presented to us the second couple FrameXBook, their relationship was built becos of unexcpected event. Their love story managed to soar in the air after we get saturated with first couple. I think we all agree that they steal the attention from whole series, they are the highlight. After that we were introduced with the next pair and so on. So we won't get bored. But sadly the last couple couldn't make it on my eyes.And other conclusion: (1). At the beginning I really-really like this much. But in the end of episodes one couple's story turning to being forced, fortunatly that they can cover it up with lots of jokes. (2). I want to give applause for the main actors's acting. Especially actors who play as Book and Mo! Why? Book didn't have many script yet he can delivered the emotion throught his expression as a shy and reticent boy. Mo -> He's not main character in here! He is a silly man i can get his jokes, but sometime he can turns into a serious man, like seriously his crying scene i got the emotion from that, i can feel the pain of the separation. Damn! His character like roller coaster, up and down. I can't wait for his next story plot. (3). I don't really like the acting of actor who play as Tee. He is stiff. (4). If you expect for VIVID SMEXY TIME! NO THEY DON'T HAVE IT! They even don't have properly kiss even just once! even just one couple! RRRRGGHHH We need fan service, don't we?
What i mostly like: Teenagerhood! That made me wish if i were a boy! I really-really loved their GANK!
What i don't like: Fuse's sister love story kinda forced and confusing. They want to make it twist but they didn't manage it well. Lastly, too many ads they put to the story.

Now I know. Thai BL series are all pretty much fan service for fujoshis. This one however reminds me of those fics written by 13 year old girls who know nothing about relationships, let alone queer ones.
The humour is silly and childish and seems out of place with the overall plot. A lot of it brought me so much second hand embarrassment that I had to stop and take a moment to shake it off.
I'm used to awkward kisses too but the main characters looked like they were being held at gunpoint during theirs, and when they're hidden by the camera angle it's obvious they aren't even touching. Not saying the actors are to blame for this, maybe that's how they were directed, but either way it looks cheap. Their chemistry lacked too.
Overall everything felt shallow and halfway done. I couldn't get invested into the characters or relationships. Interactions seemed forced and awkward and I couldn't get myself to click next past the 8th episode.
If you want some mindless fantasy, and cute guys to lose your mind over then this is for you. But if you're holding out for a good narrative and interesting characters you might want to skip.
