I can say in terms of the main casting, I love it! Theres a strong chemistry between Tee and Mork. Both handsome and perfect for the role. Frank is a revelation in this series. And I hope to see more of him in this kind of BL drama. I became a fan.
Honestly, I lost in the middle of the series. There were loopholes that needs to be address. But gained momentum again in the last 2 episodes.
The setting was very convincing. It features real houses, rooms and not just some units in a condominiums.
I suggest that they should make a season 2 of this. To give justice and answers to the loopholes in the middle of the series.
I also love the music. Theres a recall to it.
Season 2 pls..

Good but not great
To be quite honest, I'm not a big fan of Drake. I'm always distracted by his hair and eyebrows and not in a good way. Besides this fact, I found the series quite enjoyable. The interactions between the characters (within the couples and without) are very natural and believable. I adore dad Muad, he obviously loves his sons to death. The one character I could not support is Mama, and not because of her obvious homophobia, but for her lackluster performance. I have seen this actress in MUCH better roles, it seems this just did not suit her.The drama was obviously struggling with financing, since editing is sloppy at some points (situational chronology is off). The sound is abominably bad. But even with these flaws, the drama was a good watch, which means the story stands.
I would have liked some more skinship, but the love between the couples is clear enough on its own. There are many loving and sincere interactions that made my heart flutter.

Plot holes but so worth it.
This was really cute, basically just fluff if you think about it.Not going to lie there are a lot of plot holes but Mork is a really adorable character. He really does have that "thing" that just makes it impossible to NOT love him. There were also some continuity errors but most pass by without too much notice.
Some of the conflict in the show seems a little bit ridiculous but other moments between the two main characters really make up for it.
It was nice also to see a show that is not necessarily set in the school for the majority of the show.
And the sound track is lovely, especially the main theme.

Story focuses on main characters
This was one of the first Thai BL drama series I watched and found on YouTube. After now seeing dozens and dozens of these type of shows, 'Cause You're My Boy really focuses in on the main characters. A lot of dramas now have all these side characters they also focus on and you lose track of the main characters, but not so much in this show. Mork and Tee are cute together. Pay close attention to the story because I had to watch it twice to figure out both of the characters knew each other in what I assume was in middle school, but because of a misunderstanding, they never really spoke to each other ever again until later in high school where the story takes place.The side story of Mork's brother, Morn, and his friend, Gord, is cute, but they don't really go further than just remaining friends. If there was spin-off or a sequel, I'd think it would be interesting if writers expand their relationship.

Overall, this series was fun but it lacked many things. The audio is crap at times but bearable.

Great ideas, sloppy writing
Cause You're My Boy isn't one of the most regarded selections in the BL genre but many from the community have a soft spot for FrankDrake's chemistry and after watching this show, I understand why. Where this series fails in the writing compartment, it makes up for with genuinely heart-warming interactions between the main couple, Tee/Mork. There were so many moments that felt truly intimate. I appreciated the way that the boys would openly discuss experimentation and curiosity about sexuality and boners.I also had an appreciation for the environment, despite the apparent low production. Cause You're My Boy is one of the only shows I've watched so far that depicts Bangkok as the busy, high-traffic metropolitan that it is. There aren't very many quiet moments on the show. Even in bedroom scenes, there are still times that traffic can be faintly heard. However, the sound mixing was sometimes noticeably lacking. Thankfully, it was never a major distraction. Along with the technicalities of sound in post-production, there were some very bad editing choices. For example, one scene in which Mork is covered in post-its and Tee begins removing them with his mouth. He takes one from his right cheek in the wide angle shot but in Drake's coverage, the post-it is still there.
I wish I could just say that much of my issues were with post-production but the writing was all over the place. The story was sometimes hard to follow because people would do things without explanation. Early on, I was completely unsure at how Mork and Tee viewed their relationship because there was no consistency. Sometimes, it would seem like Tee was pursuing Mork while Mork was hesitant and in the very next scene, the roles were reversed. The characters acted with no nuance or build-up.
The one storyline that had good foreshadowing was Mork's sickness, but even that got dragged down by lack of explanation onscreen. Mork's nosebleeds were indicators of his declining health but they were cleverly disguised by his wild thoughts of sex. Excellent allusion to the storyline but then they never even bothered to reveal what the actual illness was (YT comments say that it was Leukemia in the book). Mork's hospitalization was executed very poorly. I didn't even realize right away that he was hospitalized for a long time until a later scene.
A storyline that I thought suffered from poor development was Au's feelings for Mork. I liked the storyline but I thought there should have been more done to allude to that in the beginning. All hints leading up to the revelation came halfway through the show. And then when Mork reveals to Tee that he may have slept with someone (never saying who), Tee was completely unbothered. That wasn't very realistic at all.
There was a storyline with Bambi and Ching that came out of nowhere and then went nowhere. In fact, as soon as there was some apparent tension between the girls, they went missing for the next few episodes until the last episode where they have one single scene to hug it out.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this drama to someone who wants a coherent story but if you're in it for the sweet moments then I say go for it.

Like many others, I started watching this series with a high expectation set by its first episode. There was anticipation of why the two main characters were separated by 3 years and the obstacles that lie ahead of them. The plot is perhaps my biggest disappointment. I am not quite sure with what the director has up his sleeve as I could tell many details were not explained explicitly, or intentionally kept secret so as to create rooms for our interpretation, say there is no explanation to why Tee skipped classes a lot during his third year and how he managed to get himself together and what the diagnosis of Mork's constant nosebleed was. I may say it might be too ambitious to illustrate the problems that could possibly occur in a homosexual relationship when two schoolboys are still struggling with their sexuality and identification. They seem to have a touch upon family and cultures, the sexual intercourse problem and the perception from the society but neither of them are explored in depth, and failed to offer insights into looking these issues as a result.
The characters and acting are another letdown for me. What's plausible is probably the storyline for Morn and Gord. It is simpler, but stronger than the main CP as they are indeed too early to confirm their feelings for each other, though they are deeply aware of how important they have been to each other. Even though I have read some praises of Drake's acting and his sophisticated delivery of emotions with his facial expression, I may have to disagree a bit on this as he has been showing really similar expressions in the latter half of the series, though he successfully brought me some heavy feeling, only occasionally . Frank is for sure lacking acting charm, so the chemistry between the main CP is not at all convincing for a supposedly established couple.
I actually like the opening theme as it has the youthful spirit this series should have, but the sounding is terrible as it is always full of noises. As a big fan of BL drama who have watched most of the BL series in recent years, Cause you are my boy is a fall-from-grace for me.

This show started off really promising but like many of the other reviewers said, it went downhill very, VERY fast. So many problems popping up out of nowhere, so many unanswered questions to issues that were presented as big, it was just a big fucking mess, which was sad because the the two main actors really had a lot of chemistry with each other. The budget was low, one big giveaway for that was from the terrible audio in a lot of the scenes. Letting us at least know whatever condition Mork had that caused his nosebleeds and not leaving us with all this ominous talk about taking care of each other forever and not “leaving” (aka dying) would’ve been one way to make the show better. The other thing I think they could’ve done is about one of the last scenes where Tee is leaving to go study abroad and he puts the blindfold on Mork. It was assumed by a lot of people that he was going to ask Mork to go with him but the scene just kind of ends with nothing and then we get that weird last scene that’s the ice cream commercial that I’m not even gonna talk about. I think the best close for the season would’ve been for Tee to ask Mork to go with him because at that point, both of their families had accepted them, and it just seemed like that’s what they were setting up for this whole time. The reason my overall review is pretty high is because the actual scenes with the couple were adorable and they melted my heart. They were cute as hell tbh. I would rewatch just for those cute scenes of them. I’m looking forward to their episode in our skyy to see where they are at now. Was this review helpful to you?
I'm confused but pleased
I'll keep this review short.STORY:
The plot has many holes, is messy, unrealistic, confusing, and not well paced. However, it is a cute story about the two boys. There's also a few well developed side characters. It's a fun drama to watch!
ACTING:
The cast did a great job with what they were given. The chemistry is amazing.
MUSIC:
It's decent music, not the most memorable.
REWATCH VALUE:
Unless I was rewatching this to understand the drama more, I wouldn't recommend it.

The streetwise, "toughie", porn selling, low achiever Mork opens up gradually to Tee who always exude that old wealth easy comfy, teasy, ponderous look. Feelings blossom. Conversations accompanied by simple chords guitar music and street noise on Memorial bridge with river scenes --- lends it ordinariness. Both kids face challenges from their respective single parent.
None of the usual schemings or dramatic misunderstandings often in other dramas --- this one is just light & easy, albeit lots of plenty near faces close shot conversations, without excessive expressions. And minus all the usual heavy make up. Plus, always in school uniform and shorts --- how much more ordinary can it get? Can't even say they're drop dead good looking although I like Tee & Mork very much for their respective personality.
We can only hope all our intimate relationships never lose this youthfulness as time goes by.

Fist of all, the reason i watched this show was due to 2gether the series yes i know i know very bad of me but i knew this show for quite some time but could never find the time to watch it . so, when waiting for the next episodes of 2gether i took the time to watch the series as i found it's plot to be interesting as it is based on a pair of friends who knew each other but when Mork (Drake) tried to "touch"? i don't really know how to explain it but yea it did happen there was a little bit of a misunderstanding so Tee (Frank) rushed off without taking his spectacles and the very next day they saw each other but since tee was not able to see since he left his spectacles at Mork's (Drake) house he accidentally ignored Mork (Drake) thus causing them to be distant and the reason they were finally able to be friends again was due to Tee (Frank) going to Mork's (Drake) family barber and from there they begin getting closer like they used to and they eventually fell in love and become the happy couple we all know as MorkTee of DrakeFrank Was this review helpful to you?
