Acting: Pchy, from Love of Siam, delivers the role of Boss to the T. He plays with such a range of emotion from happiness of his first love and to the sadness of his mother's illness. The actor who plays Win, however, is bland. I believed the Pchy carried the role and made the story more believable as we see him going through the struggle of getting his family to accept his lifestyle choices.
Music: Nothing worthwhile to note
Re-watch value: If only to see Pchy's acting maybe, but otherwise, not really.

Short Series - Pretty Deep Storyline
This was a short series of five episodes.The series runs pretty much like the synopsis. There are some things that could have been explained better and some things you will feel they left hanging, but the filming is really clear and the main actor is very convincing, I felt his pain and understood him. Unfortunately, he was a really good guy surrounded by mostly selfish people. He was young, so he was learning some lessons in life that can be quite painful. We don't get to see his future, and that made me a bit sad.
The only thing I rated low was the rewatch value - a continuation of his story would be better.

BLOWN UP CHEATING AND UNFINISHED ENDING
The story revolves around a closeted gay student that falls in love with man (P'win) that he met online which would've been a nice story with a twist of a problematic homophobic family. But as the series progresses it turns into torturous full blown mistress slash cheating fiasco on both Boss story and his father. The premise where Boss meet a guy online and eventually falls in love with is a plausible scenario and it would have a potential for more episodes and not only 4, where they could further explain what happens next to P'win and Boss and not to mention it didn't resolve the cheating father. Upon watching the episode where P'win admits that he's still in a relationship, it threw me off and I just knew where the story will end. The fact that P'win cheats on his boyfriend first hand only shows that there is no future for Boss if he stick around with him. And i was right when i saw episode 4, where P'win caught red handed and eventually got tire to Boss same thing he did to his Ex. P'win is the kind of gay that doesn't commit 100% to a relationship. I feel like Boss knew what will happened to this relationship because on how they started in the first place is already a roller coaster. The ending sucks in many levels. First of all, Boss doesn't deserve to left alone like that in the airport. The last rose that could've been a sign of his love to P'win just shatters in front of his face upon hearing P'win saying "let's stop her", that is the most devastating feeling ever especially when you already committed to love someone with all your heart. Secondly, there are many issues in the story that haven't been addressed like the cheating father, the acceptance of his sister and brother him for being gay and they didn't mentioned if his mother is already cancer free. This series would've have more potential if they fix P'win's character where he could change because of Boss but rather the character of Boss just left alone in without anyone beside him. There are a lot of BL series with similar plot but i wouldn't recommend this one for some reasons that i already mentioned above. For the actors acting I think they are all superb and great especially Boss.Was this review helpful to you?
Here, these five intrigued me with their story directly from life, and therefore I think that many viewers "punish" this series for not ending as they would like (MDL "only" 7.2).
The main character is Boss (the actor Pchy, who we already know from the film The Love of Siam shown here on GT) and he played his character absolutely wonderfully. The other actors also performed well and looked even better. In the first episode, especially the muscular Pok - if you click on the link to the YT first episode in the Comments (12 million views), he is lying in bed with the Boss. And then, of course, Win, the second most important character in the series, who has had a terrible time in some scenes.
The whole story, which is read by two editors of Green Wave radio in the "Friday Club", tells the fate of Boss from high school to adulthood, his development in the matter of awareness of his own sexual orientation, his seemingly peaceful family, but in reality the obese sister just eats, sleeps and he doesn't help his mother, his almost thirty-year-old brother plays games and lets his parents support him, his mother has cancer, his father cheats on him with his lover, Boss falls in love with Win, who lives with a friend. Just the problems of everyday life, excellently handled, which is why this semi-forgotten piece interested me so much for its TRUTH.
Club Friday je celá série sezón, které se postupně věnují mnoha tématům a mezi nimi je v páté sezóně i téma lásky mezi muži (režíroval stejný režisér, jako výborný seriál Tonhon Chonlatee).
Tady tato pětka mě zaujala svým příběhem přímo ze života, a proto si myslím, že řada diváků tuto sérii "trestá" za to, že nekončí, jak by si přáli (MDL "jen" 7,2).
Hlavním hrdinou je Boss (herec Pchy, kterého známe už z filmu zde na GT uvedeném The Love of Siam) a svou postavu zahrál naprosto úžasně. I ostatní herci si vedli dobře a ještě lépe vypadali. V prvním díle především svalnatý Pok - když si v Komentářích rozkliknete link na YT první díl (12 mil. zhlédnutí), tak leží s Bossem v posteli. A dále samozřejmě Win, druhá nejdůležitější postava seriálu, kterému to v některých scénách ohromně seklo.
Celý příběh, který v "Pátečním klubu" čtou dvě redaktorky rádia Green Wawe, vypráví osudy Bosse od střední školy až po dospělost, jeho vývin v otázce uvědomování si vlastní sexuální orientace, jeho naoko poklidnou rodinu, ale ve skutečnosti otylá sestra jen žere, spí a matce nepomáhá, téměř třicetiletý bratr hraje hry a nechá se živit rodiči, matka má rakovinu, otec jí podvádí s milenkou, Boss se zamiluje do Wina, který žije s přítelem. Prostě problémy běžného života, skvěle zpracováno, a proto mě toto poloopomenuté dílko tak zaujalo pro svou PRAVDIVOST.
