STORY: for me the story wasn't anything unique, but may i just say the way it was written and acted out, everything fell into place and by the end everything was amazing. The story had its focus on the main couple (korn/knock) but it also gave glimpses into other characters like farm and phu, which was interesting cause you got the main couple who you're rooting for and then you have the side couples which some you may not like (people who watched this show know i'm talking about a certain doctor) and then there were ones you loved (someones sister with someones friend). The humour and sadness are well mixed in this series, you have moments where you're tearing up by laughing and moments where you're tearing up by heartbreak. Also may i just say the friendship dynamics were so amazing and their friendship was so beautiful (korn, yihwa, phu, farm and fai. also knock)
ACTING/CAST: The acting of every single cast member was amazing and the chemistry between the two leads was mind blowing. The villain was acted out perfectly, (you would hate her so much) But the scene stealer for me was Max, who plays korn. His acting brought out so many emotions and when he was hurt or happy, you could see it and feel it and applauds to the guy. However this doesn't mean the others were less good like Tul, who plays knock, was also brilliant and there was this one scene where knock is crying on the bed and Tul played that scene so well and it looked so genuine, i started sobbing too. Also Maengmum, playing Yihwa, was so cute and you would just fall in love with her.
MUSIC: i dont really pay attention to the music in shows, but there were scenes that were like montages with music and i thought that was really cool
REWATCH VALUE: 100%, i have rewatched the show so many times you would not believe.
OVERALL: Its an amazing show that is definitely worth your time and the cast is perfect and the romance is definitely something you are looking for.

Story:
The story isn't ordinary, since it has openly gay main character as well as an ally (Yinhwa) how Knock had reacted to whole situation, and it follows the struggle between those 2 (Knock a d Knot) . On Knock's side he has to choose who he loves more and who he would give up more for. On Knot's side, he knows what he wants even from the beginning when he kissed him, and he will follow what he wants but in the process it hurts him very much. I also loved side couples and characters. Like Farm's. He wasn't gay until he met a doctor whom he fell for. But doc isn't so pure, and that may lead for them to have a worst relationship. Phu's relationships is kinda the cutest since he falls for a teacher,that is also Knot's sister! I also loved Yinhwa, since she was the one that wanted for Knot and Knock to end up together the most, and she helped Knock realize who is he dating. The only thing that sticks with me, was what happened to doc and Farm. Did Farm move on to another guy, or will he take doc back?! I'm hoping for S2!
Acting:
I've thought, since watching many Thai BL, that acting would be kinda awkward, and for the actors to not really display emotions properly. But in this drama, I could understand Knot's and Knock's feelings, without having to read a novel beforehand. I loved how they both had this longing expression for eachother and especially loved the crying scene, that felt real! Overall the acting was great, and I couldn't ask for them to express any more then they already did!
Overall:
Ive maybe rewatched this series for 5th time, and still couldn't get enough of it. I wish that there'll be season 2, so some things would get cleared.
P. S: I still can't get over that Knock's girlfriend. She was such a bixch, and even though one can feel pity, that pity disappeared when I've learned what's hidden behind her rotten mask.

Great BL Series!
This series was great! Korn and Knock are best friends from childhood, who meet up later in life. After a drunken hook-up,(which was hot) Knock must decide between his girlfriend (don’t get me started on her!) and whether or not he really does have feelings for his best friend. I LOVE Korn and Knock! I love their characters, their non-typical for a BL physique, their chemistry.... And the looks they give each other, especially during the bed scenes... Wow!!! Unforgettable!! Hot!! I absolutely LOVE Yihwa and Fai as supporting characters! Those are two of the best friends you could ask for! They always have Korn and Knock’s back. I felt sorry for Farm, and his naivety with Bright. Bright is a dick. He’s up front about it, but still hard to not hate the way he treats Farm. I hate Plern. I guess I should give props to her acting, because she made me hate her so much, I can’t even stand to watch her in the other series she’s in! This series is about friendship, love, betrayal, and discovering who they really are, and accepting what truly makes them happy. I definitely recommend this series! Again. Tul and Max.... Dude.Was this review helpful to you?

Wtf was this
How this series has got such good reviews, I have NO idea. Wtf did I just watch?Ok, let's start with what I liked:
- The chemistry between the two main leads is impeccable - no complaints there. They're comfortable with each other and it shows. If I ever were to re-watch the series, it would probably be just for them.
- The female friends were amazing, it's so refreshing to see that they aren't secretly thirsting after the guys and have their own personalities. I loved them both.
Now, the rest:
I skipped 60% of the series because I could not, for the life of me, watch any of the scenes with the other couples in them. What's up with the 20 year age gap between the actors of Farm and Bright?? They look like they could be father and son?? I'm sorry, I was disgusted every time I saw them together onscreen. I just couldn't. And on the other hand, why was the professor/student couple a thing? I really didn't like that, like at all. She looks, again, super old compared to Phubet. And she's his teacher?? Like how?? How is this allowed???
Also, why did the girlfriend have to be a complete psychopath?? Were they afraid that people would feel bad for her if she was a decent person? I mean, if I were in her position I would be pissed too, because Knock kept going back and forth and being super indecisive - but then they went and made her crazy, toxic and manipulative, as if to justify Knock cheating on her with Korn. Wtf?
Overall, I would not recommend this series. Like I said, the only thing that makes it worth watching is the good chemistry between the main leads. I wish they would do something along the lines of 'Kiss me again: Pete-Kao', where they cut all the scenes exclusively between the two guys and posted them as a special. That would definitely make my rating go up a few points.

*The actors are (*GOSH*) the BEST! I can feel the emotions: anger, frustrations, jealousy, worries, happiness, curiosities, emptiness etc. The direction and production is also PERFECT. I commend the director and producers for a job well done. THANK YOU!
*Musical scores are perfect and fits every scene that add more in portraying emotions to the viewers.
*No exaggeration. I can no longer count how many times I watched the entire series. ^o^ Hahahaha And tell you I still have plan to rewatch. Hehehehe
OVERALL: I LOVE THIS SERIES so please make your viewers happy again by announcing that you are gonna make part 3 of this wonderful TV series. Make us hopeful and in love again, please. ^_^ <3 <3 <3 WE LOVE YOU Together With Me TEAM. <3 <3 <3

Korn and Knock's story before Bad Romance is amazing, and a must see if you love Boy Love or Gay Romance (because it's everything.) The dynamic duo that's them is great, as well as the friends and side stories of this show. I recommend if you can't get into Bad Romance, watch this first. It's the best set up for what Bad Romance is.

This could easily become the best bl series I've ever watched because the chemistry between korn & knock and also between the group of friends is unbelievable. They're all amazing actors and they made me fall in love with this story because I wanted them to be happy and I wanted to hug them multiple times. Yiwah and Fai, along with the two main boys made the show for me. I also loved Farm. I will now list the reasons why I absolutely adored this show and also the reasons why I didn't give it 10 stars.
I love it because:
1- As I've mentioned, the chemistry between the characters is one of the best I've ever seen. The acting is incredible.The cast suited their roles so well it gave me goosebumps!
2- Tul and Max did such an amazing job interpreting the main couple. The opening scene got me SWEATING! I honestly felt every single one of their interactions as if I was watching a scene from real life. Without a doubt the best bl couple I've seen so far.
3- I was lucky enough to have found Lazysubber's subs. They made the show even better for me. Those who have watched their subs will know what I'm talking about. Those who are thinking of watching the show and need English subs, watch it with lazasubber's subs! You won't regret it ;)
4- The side characters didn't annoy me at all. Yiwah and Fai were so entertaining to watch. Definition of strong female characters!
5- Pleng... ah God, I really did hate her. And I think that was the point of her character so I think she did a great job. At the end of she show I couldn't stand to even look at her face! And I usually don't hate characters. It's very hard for me to feel like this so I think it's a positive thing. Even though I hate her. So. much.
6- I also love the representation in this show. We have gay characters, (apparently) straight characters who fall in love with someone of the same gender (even though his sexuality is not that clear at the end of the day- and it doesn't have to be, really), strong and smart female characters (Yiwah, baby, I'm looking at you. And also Pleng. She was smart as hell too!), people discovering their sexuality and exploring it too... it has it all!
7- I just really loved it, okay?
Now, the reasons why I won't give it 10 stars for now (I might change my mind later):
1- This might sound stupid but the moment I noticed it I couldn't unnotice: Max's (Korn's) expressions were always the same. It was like he was constantly in pain. Slightly open mouth, frowned eyebrows, and PAIN. I understand his character is going through a lot but other expressions would be nice too. I was glad to see that in the last episode that ugly face (I mean the facial expressions, obviously) wasn't as present hahaha.
2- I didn't care about the student-teacher relationship at all. I skipped their scenes too. It was completely useless to me. It didn't add a lot to the relationship between Korn and his sister (which I also wasn't thrilled about). The actors did a good job but I just couldn't bring myself to care.
3- I sometimes felt uncomfortable with P'Bright and Farm's relationship, even if I was supposed to feel like that. I just didn't feel comfortable. And if the third season that's supposed to come out this year takes the same direction... I'll still watch it, of course, lol. But I will be a little disappointed and uncomfortable.
These are the main things I noticed while watching the show. As I've said, I'll probably change my mind and add it to my favourite drama's list. But for now, it's one of my favourites, which is good as well.
I can't wait for season 3!!!

A must watch!
I wasn't sure where I was going when starting the series. But mostly good things came out of it. The acting/chemistry of MaxTul was one of the best things I've seen in BL history period. Recommend if you want your typical dose of "I'm not gay but I like you" plus the crazy ex-girlfriend ruining stuff up.//warning: slight mention of rape//
The only downgrade was the whole relationship between Farm and Bright like no sir, it was wrong on many levels... First of all, Bright gave "old creep" vibes the whole time like very wrong. Then the way he used Farm for his own benefits was also wrong, but Farm did accept to be with him even though he was just a player. HOWEVER, what took the cake was the fact that he legit tricked Farm into some type of foursome or whatever, and like no sir we do not condone raping people up in here. It just hurt me so much imagining how much pain he must have been when he trusted that person and then he does that. ON HIS BIRTHDAY TOO. I also didn't like the fact that it was not talked about enough, like it happened he cried for a bit then moved on to be a player like Bright showed him to be. I'm all for my baby Farm showing Bright what he missed on but it must have been traumatizing still to not have talked it out enough in the series like they never mention it after the episode.

THERE'S SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT!!!
So this is the first series that I see MaxTul and they are not disappointing. They are, honestly, one of few great bl couples out there. See I love their chemistry and the casts were just fit to their roles. Oooh I really love Yihwa in this series. She is really spicing up confrontational scenes with her angst attitude! I kinda wish I was on the squad with her, she really did that, periodt!. The soundtracks were good too.The downside of this series is first, wtf is wrong with this Doc Bright!?!;!? He really pissed me off until the season ends. I really find him very repulsive. Honestly Farm is somewhat annoying because he just let Bright mingle with others and that he is willing to adjust for that lustful doc bf of his. Their couple really went downhill like a carriage being smashed into pieces after an extreme fall. If I would be Farm, I will never tolerate his trifling ass shit and I will cut ties with him. I really hate that when Farm celebrated his bday with Bright, this motherf---------------doctor introduced him to two other guys and pressured Farm to be in an orgy (I think) and that's eeewwww so disgusting (it might be better if Bright do Farm not the other way around). See I like steamy scenes except this one, it really pissed me off in the ass. The pain in the ass Plern Pleng really threw me overboard because of her desperate need of Knock (not love, need only okay). I think this one component of vengeful exes (psychotic ex-gfs), bringing chaos to the main bl couple, is common among BL out there like Tonhon Chonlatee and The Best Twins. I'm not really mad at this common ingredient of BL, well at least there will be a satisfying end to that one. One of the things I hate about this series is Knock choosing his triflin' ass gf more than Korn until the last ep came. He is really hesitant to choose Korn and that really annoys and hurt me. It is like Korn has been the one being targeted by this Plern Pleng bitch! I gotta say I'm not really digging the professor-student couple here and it's not really "it" but don't get me wrong I don't hate it. It's just like okay here's their scene I'll just watch this and that's that.
One of the good things I wanna point out in this series is the bold intro at ep 1. I was like yess!!! A bold act for ep 1 and that invigorated me. I do like the squad of Korn, Yihwa, Farm, the other guy and the boyish girl there. The story is quite flowy and it somewhat pointed out the flaws of being in a homosexual relationship including the society, exes seeking revenge, simple love cultivated between a student and a professor. I gotta say I was satisfied with the ending especially Plern Pleng's downfall for making shitty serum exposing herself accidentally at the bar. It's good that Farm really cut his ties with that motherf---------------doctor, finally!!!! I know there's S2 and that's why I'm giving Doc Bright a chance to not fck this up once again shit!. After all this series is good. Kudos to lazysubber I love how she/he subbed this series and she is really good at making side comments about certain scenes particularly Plern Pleng and Yihwa's scene

Overall I think BL fans will enjoy it because it's jam-packed with drama, and honestly, I think my rating of it increased because of Yihwa's character. She is one of my favorite BL characters of all time and she kept me hooked!

ALOT of slander abt many characters
Plern pleng.. I didn't like her. And i Still don't, the same for Bright.Why Omg it has to Be 500 words, finee.
Plern pleng is one of the most well written "villians" I have seen. I LIKED how everyone except for Yihwa thought she was a good girl but as the episode went on we discover how she really is, she was so FUCKING smart but i Still hate her. Knock was so dumb and blinde the WHOLE show istg he never used common sense in what he Said, He only listend and did what plern pleng(PP) Said and that made me so mad like "i can't break up with her, i feel bad" what?? You don't even like her anymore!! Poor Korn, only wanted his friend to like him back. Anyways the ending was hella satisfying when she thought se was gonna expose them but then it backfired. Ok moving away from the PP thing. I feel like it would have been like better if PP worked together with Mew? Was that his name, i don't remeber, but Korn's Ex because he wanted to get together back with Korn and PP wanted Knock right, but i like how he turned on her, it was better that way. But imo(in my opinion) i feel like that guy that like, liked PP and helped her get ''rid" of Korn was very random, Without him it would have made even leser sense but it was so confusing when he like Just showed up. Well well. Ok NOW TO P'BRIGHT that son of a.. I HATED his character from The moment I saw him at the hospital i didn' t know he was the guy in The bathroom untill some episodes later but when i found out i hated him even more. I'm so happy Korn beat his Ass when he tried to make out with him. And then Farm tho, haha poor guy, he was so blind to what a FUCKING bitch bright was when he tried to have a 4 way? Like Yoo im Already mad at the age difference(19 YEARs) and poor Farm Said stop and he was even Begging. AND IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY TOO!! i'm so happy Farm found a better boyfriend and took revenge on Bright. Like i Said Together with me has one of the most satisfying endings i have seen. Ok i think this is 500 words
