Situations overcomed ...
This drama was good in the sense that we get to 6 different individuals tackle their own fear and overcome their own inner demons.The plot was kind of simple - six guys with the same name living in one house, all with their own phobia, and overcoming it with the help of each other. This is a family drama with each one having their own backstory and a time to shine (although i feel like Singto's screen time was less than the others).
The acting was 50/50 and the I loved that we have probably seen these guys in other dramas as well, which what attracted me to watch this.
This really not a BL but more a bromance and friendship of 6 guys coming to know each other with strangely enough the same name, each of them have their own phobia, and it shows on each of them overcome them and be there for each other, and accept each other flaws, and strengths.
Overall: its an okay drama, with a very good bond of friendship

Honestly not BL, but who cares?
On every single episode of this series (on GMMTV's YouTube channel), you will find comments on how GMMTV has said that it is not BL. That seems to be very honest, especially considering the shameless baiting of BL fans in some series. But is there anything good about this series apart from the 6 good looking actors who have starred in some of the most beloved BL series ever?Story wise, there isn't exactly a strong plot. Nevertheless, the series is rather heartwarming, with a groups of guys (all called Tee) who end up renting a room from another guy called Tee (played by Krist who seems to turn in a good performance every time he is in a series with Singto). Each of the guys starts off having some kind of phobia but through their support for one another, they manage to overcome their phobias.
The focus of the series is on Krist's Tee, especially in the last few episodes, which gives the series more coherence overall. He's the most difficult character in more ways than one--he reluctantly rents the house out to five guys in his university after his mother dies, but he has a phobia of trusting others. He doesn't want to befriend the other guys and pretty much tries to isolate himself (though he is softhearted).
Despite honestly announcing that the series is not BL, GMMTV gratifies BL fans with enough Off/Gun, Tay/New and Kirst/Singto moments. Perhaps the makers of the series has a difficulty deciding whether they want it to be hilariously funny or lighthearted but touching. In the earlier episodes, the series can be rather hilarious (especially with Off's Tee and his fear of ghosts). However, the humor seems to be considerably toned down, with rather serious happenings like Singto-Tee worrying about his sick mother and Krist-Tee worrying about his sick father. However, the series is well-produced enough to be watchable as long as you do not demand too much of the plot. Getting familiar faces to play the roles of the Tees is a clever move because the audience will certainly need more time to get used to unfamiliar faces playing characters who are all called Tee. The theme song also sets the mood very well. Overall, everything is put together quite well. What we are getting isn't quite a masterpiece but something that we can love especially when we do not want to watch something emotionally draining.

A goodbye for the first gen!
The story is kinda... well they did it purely for the fans of the first generation of GMM (only BrightWin missing, but they are the last of that gen sooo).It's funny and very cute how they ended up like a found family, and it's very. Very funny, but it's badly written and clearly has a low budget since having just 2 scenarios. 3 if you count the cinema. It's forgettable too, because it's funny, but not sooo funny.
About the acting, it's definitely not their best job, but it's really just for funsies and fans, so kinda works?
In the end, I think that it's kinda funny and enjoyable, and it's a good goodbye for the first gen (not really a goodbye daaa, they're still active, but it's a goodbye since the 2nd gen started!).
They're the base of GMM and I'm thankful for them! Goodbye~~

high level cinematography
first time i watch it, my focus is how great the view point they have and give us. it’s bright yet so warming. also, the house where they stayed, love it! don’t have particular issue with the acting and their story line, it’s light and still fun to watch. i think i’ve seen a drama / series like this before but i can’t recall anything atm just this one is recommended to watch for sure. The episode is not long, it is good even though i think i need a little bit more than this. This one wrapped so wellWas this review helpful to you?
Funny and heartwarming
Well, the cast maybe based on public interest of them (in BLs, but this serial isn't BL). But for me (who isn't a BL enjoyer) this is very healing too ? Thai comedy sitcoms never fail, they come up as people with the same nickname under the same sharing house roof, with their own problems. But I love their friendship, how they solve a problem together, and every single scene really burst out my tears (of laughter) but they sometimes could be wise through their words. It's a really a light serial (you don't have to think too much while watching it) and probably will rewatch this!Was this review helpful to you?
From a funny beginning to an emotional ending.
Well, at first when GMMTV posted a trailer, every single fan of Off Gun, Singto Krist and Tay New went crazy to have Holy Trinity in one series. I am excited too.The storyline is simple yet so interesting. It started slow but it got deeper and more complex as the series reaching an end. This story is all about friendship and family bond. If you have great friends and family, and if you value the friendship and family that you have, you can face anything in this world. It's great to see how your friends and family helped you to overcome your fear and be strong to face your daily struggles. Look at around us, without we realize, sometimes our friends and family have some fear that they face and if we pay a bit attention to them, we can help to overcome their everyday struggle. The characters in this series probably have funny fear but it's great to see how this fear can be overcame if we help each other.
What I love the most about this series is the great directing, acting and cinematography. The directing is superb, the cinematography is amazing with interesting and beautiful visual. The acting is top class and this is what you'll get if you have experienced actors. All 6 of them including the supporting actors and actresses were able to play their roles impactfully. Even though they are acting but at some point, you don't feel like they are acting. It seems like they are being casual and acting like their own true self and this is what I like about their acting because it feels so natural and you can feel each and every individual character.
But I have to give a credit to Gun's and Krist's acting especially the scene in the beginning of episode 7. Both actors displayed excellent acting skills and were able to give a such an impactful scene without feeling cringe or awkward.
Do watch this short series if you want something light, fun and emotional story. The OST is also amazing, I hear it everyday now. :))

A beautiful story
This is more than just a fan service. The story is beautiful. It's mainly about friendship and helping each other overcome their fears. Like most people, I thought It's mainly a fan service and that's why it took me this long to watch it. But the story is beautiful and inspirational. I even forgot that they are 3 main BL couples. Their acting is so good, better than when they act in BL dramas and there were no cringey scenes. It teaches so many life lessons including value of a family, friendship and to value what you already have. It talks about so many beautiful things but the main problem with the drama is, why does it have only 8 episodes????Was this review helpful to you?
But I was also great to watch offgun being offgun lol.
Fun fact: when my mom watched Teedo kissing a girl she said "it is so weird to watch them kissing girls" LOL.

Hidden Gem
I am so glad I stumbled upon this hidden gem. It was great seeing all my favorite bl couples playing a straight character. It was funny but with the right balance of drama infused into real life situations. Seeing them grow and evolve as friends was refreshing. I also liked how the support characters were incorporated into the main story. The focus was on the six males and their phobias. The music was not overbearing. It reminded me that having friends is an asset. Each resident has something he needs to deal with and seeing how they help each other is what makes this series so good. I also like how the female characters are used.,They seem real and do not overstay their welcome.These guys are really good actors. Even though I knew who the bl couples were I completely forgot about that. I can’t wait to see each one in other projects. Thanks for a great series.Was this review helpful to you?

I wish this is BL..but it turns out to be even better than BLs!!!
I put this off since it's not BL, but it turned out to be even better than most of the BLs there.It's a refreshing storyline, very different than the typical lakorn. It's actually more touching and meaningful than it appears to be
Yes, it's funny and comedic, but it is not shallow at all
I love how each of them has their own phobia and how they support one another to overcome it,
It really teaches us about psychology, friendship, family, love and meaning of life
I definitely love how Gun is being the house therapist here and I didn't know Off has a talent for screaming until I watch this show
It really is very good, way more than I thought.
My only thing is,..I still wish it's a BL haha...But, even without it being one, I can't help but see OffGun as a couple because they always are in my heart!
Give it a watch, you won't regret it!

Best thing to happen to me!
10/10, Would watch it again!NOT A BL!
I don't know where to start. This series was the best series I have ever watched. The holy trinity was just heart warming and so fun.
This series was the perfect combo of laughter, set backs, pain and tears. The way each character developed and overcame their faults is really funny and beautiful at the same time. Everyone helped each other to overcome their faults. The way they supported each other in the worst of conditions in the most weird, funny, embarrassing and fearless way was really beautiful to watch.
This series is not a bl but a show where importance of friends in life is shown. Friends can be the second family to you and be there for you at your worst.
I am going to watch this series over and over cuz this series is exactly what I want in my life. In our stressful lives, this drama is a dose of light heartedness and is a great stress reliver. There is no toxicity, unnecessary stress or exaggeration. One doesn't need to grab their hair and stress out about what is going to happen next.
Some important life lessons which are realized very late are subtly shown to the audience. It shows how delicate human life and human relationships can be and somethings are worth cherishing forever.

Simple but fun story
The story is simple, 6 guys with the same name living together, each of them has different phobias and they try to overcome it. However, it was so fun to watch.I think GMMTV really knew what they were doing by putting the most popular ships in the same series. Most of the fans watched it just because of this. Actually, I'm one of them. In my opinion, if other actors played instead of them, it wouldn't be so popular.
The acting was on point, as we can see all of ther characters' stories throughout the series. The characters were so funny, but also their friendship was so cute to watch. I laughed a lot while watching it, and even if I wouldn't watch it again and again, I still enjoyed it.
