Pros: The actors, at least the leads and their friends were great. It was a bit jarring to see a western/non-thai actor in the cast but the actor was great and his thai speaking skills were phenomenal so it didn't throw you off once he actually started talking. The plot is simple and the series is extremely short which makes it a fun, quick series to pass your time. Regardless of how comedic it is, I did find the overall concept of a sister not wanting to accept her brothers sexuality very real and touching.
Cons: Some of the comedy did get a little cringy at times but it made you laugh most of the time. The extra actors did not seem to care as much about their performances.
Overall: The series played with comedy and story to bring a very necessary topic (family related issues to coming out) in a short series. Give it a shot, people judge too much.

What Even Was This Trying To Be?!
Well...I watched this...barely. I, like many it seems, watched this series to see Mild as Tee. Well he was indeed the strongest part of the series. His character was cute and he actually got a good dramatic scene in this to show off his range more, which was shocking because that is not the tone of this show at all. But other than him, I can't really find much else positive to say about this series unfortunately.There was wayyyyy too much going on in this that it's so confusing and chaotic. The overuse of sound effects was obnoxious as hell, more so than other series I've seen. There are not many likable characters in this, many of them are either doing way too much or not enough. The sister character I literally wanted to strangle all the way until the end of the series. Also wtf even was "Thor's" plot line with the gym owner friend? I'm sorry but that was so dumb. The show struggled clearly to try and be funny and quirky, but it just missed the mark by a mile. Nothing could be taken seriously or by face value even. The fake-out romantic moments were so fu***** annoying! It's fine if it happens once or twice, but holy sh** it was endless!
Though I thought Pond's character was okay, albeit dense and treated as eye-candy a lot which irritated me. He actually looked good with Tee by the end, for example that post-it wall at the end was cute. But dude, close your damn eyes when you kiss. That always bothers me in any type of romance, especially if it doesn't change by the end and it didn't. So basically I ended up skipping soooo many scenes in this because it just dragged on and on, and I could not handle it anymore. I don't really think missing those things affected my overall feelings of this show, because if I couldn't get into it by episode 5 it was a lost cause anyway. I got the gist of it and I think it's definitely one to skip altogether. Watch Mild in "TharnType" because that's his best role to date. I also have to leave off with how LineTV needs to fix their subtitling issue BADLY. This show's subtitles were so off I had to rewrite them in my head to make sense! It's not a fan-made site and tons of international fans use it now (like me!) so please double-check your translations and hire new translators if that's the issue! Be like Viki even and have reliable fans input their own! It messes with the viewing experience.

Not very well produced
I watched this because I loved Mild so much in Tharntype and wanted to see more of him. However, his acting is definitely weaker in this series and I was not very satisfied with his performance. I’m gonna keep an eye out for future dramas that cast him.As for the story, also pretty weak. There was potential for some serious character development that we just didn’t get, and what we did get fell very flat. I wanted more emotional availability from Pond, but any time I felt that we were about to get a big moment between him and Tee it was a let down on his side. Also, the conflict with Bell was pretty nonexistent?? I know he did what he did (intentionally vague to avoid spoilers) but even after that reveal I was just like “That’s it?” His character was done a disservice as an antagonist, they could have really used him as a foil for Tee but didn’t.
Music: 1 star because I literally can’t remember ANY music from the whole series, which never happens with me. Not memorable at all.
If I was going to rewatch this series (extremely unlikely), I would just skip around to moments I thought were funny/cute. The story is so weak and the plot so boring that there isn’t really a point to rewatching.
The only things I loved about this series, which were what made me give 3 stars instead of 1, are the characters of Max and Thor. When we met Thor I was really put off at first because of how over the top he is, but he ended up being my favorite character. His scenes were my favorite, and the scenes with Max specifically were the best of the best for me. Especially the scene where they were sitting at the table with Tiger! That was my favorite scene in the whole show because of how the three of them navigated the language barriers.

It's Just OK
Just an ok series.A little cute, a lot of nonsense, a good basic premise of 1) a sister who does not approve of gay relationships and 2) a brother who is in love with a guy but keeps asking for time because of his sister, the one he is in love with is insecure and troubled.
Although the premise is good, the show is all fluff, not delving into the complexities in a real world sense.
Still, with a little fast forward here and there, I watched it all - there were some good moments. Just don't expect too much from the story line or the acting. It's a typical school themed, light romance with no real substance.
Rewatch value is zero

This was my first thailand drama (lakorns, I think they're called?). And I am not impressed yet. This was not a terrible drama. But it had so many things that I disliked and it was kinda cringy. So there is a lot of things that I want to criticize. But it was short and easy to watch so I though "why not?" and finished this drama.THE PLOT and THE STORY
I don't really think there was enough plot to keep me that interested or focused. Or to make another season of The Best Twins, for example. This was a short drama so I watched the whole series. But I didn't like all those special sound effects in "funny scenes", they were annoying. I still got used to them while watching. But still, in my opinion, they were not needed. I felt like the plot was all over the place and still not really going anywhere. They were just showing some gays to interact with each other and that was actually the reason why I started watching this drama. Being gay is something you don't usually see in Asian dramas. So it's good that this topic was here all the time. There was also these awkward moments of misunderstandings that were usually kinda funny - but also cringy at the same time. The humour in this drama was poop-like.
MUSIC
The music was okay, not really oustanding or anything. I liked the opening song, it was cute. Other songs and sound effects didin't really stood out to me.
THE ACTING
The acting was not that great. I don't know if Tee's character was just written to be awkward and shy, but everytime he was on the screen I felt a little embarassed for him. He was cute in his own way - but at the same time I had a feeling that the actor was not that good playing his role. Pond (and Per) was better, even tho I had (at first) some issues to separate Pond from Per because the actor was the same :D And Pond was also quit a good-looking. Ball was interesting, with all his attempts to try to get Pond back together with him. And he was so handsome too! I don't really know why there was many non-thailand people in this drama, Thor and Tiger, for example. Tiger was a little annoying and his way of speaking was so fast that it just got on my nerves. Yet again, I don't know if he was written to be like that or if the actor just played his role like that. Other characters were just fine.
And oh! The kissing scenes were just awkward and I don't really understand why Pond kept his EYES OPEN while kissing?! That's just creepy :D Also I don't understand why Pond's sister, for example, said her lines so LOUDLY. And I think some of the actors overacted too.
REWATCH VALUE
I would not really recommend this drama but go ahead if you want something easy and not that great to watch. This drama has its moments but I won't rewatch it ever again. One time is enough. At least I got a little taste of thai dramas, what's the language like and all that.

The promotion for this series was good. Gave me high expectations. But when I actually watched it, I found myself forcing myself to carry on just for Mild. Pak's character could be written better than this . Had so much potential . I love Mild but his character is super annoying. He was written in a way as though to purposely frustrate the viewers and I had to drop the series 1 episode before the finale as I couldn't take the frustration anymore. Loved the interactions among the side characters but the side stories were not leading to any outcome and I found a lot of scenes to be completely useless. Watch it but don't expect any mindblowing storyline. Was this review helpful to you?
Story line childish .but acting average
I'll decide to watch to old drama. I was watch the 2024 but this series 2019 . I have nothing to say story line is very childish . Honestly I write a reveiw thinking to 2019 .but I can say plot need to be improve .I feel like deliver of love each other is very lack .need to be more romance. Some character actually verry annoy to me. Main couple express the love facely and heartly.but I didn't say express love bodylanguage.Overall this drama not satisfied to me.Was this review helpful to you?
No actual story
Dropped.The first episode had me lol-ing so I had high hopes but then as I watched more episodes I laughed less and less and the entertainment I received quickly vanished. The women as portrayed like freaking animals- it's insane. They are homophobic and abusive to the gay males and it just was too much for me. The romance between the leads was so contrived and so hard to watch. Mild is such a horrible actor #sorrynotsorry and watching him act makes me cringe- I'll have to avoid anything with him now. The kiss scenes are so bad it's laughable and the fact that there really is no plot made me drop this one. I don't recommend it.
