Bleh
Ok so first I gotta say I had a bit of a hard time finding subs so some of it I was kinda winging it. The story is there but I somehow couldn't get into it much. Keep in mind these are new actors, but that doesn't mean it's technically 'bad'. It seemed a bit low budget but it has some realistic points that either made me happy or sad lol Not gonna lie, I laughed more than I should have with the fight scenes LMAO. I'm not really sure I'd recommend to anyone based on how little it interested me but if you want something simple to kill some time and surprisingly not too cliché, I'd give SSN a shot. I think there was a pretty good amount of chemistry (between friends and lovers alike) which obviously always helps a series. I think it's rating is pretty accurate for the most part.Enjoy...

Really recommend it, So different, cute and funny!
I'm so hooked!! Never thought I could watch a Thai BL that is different from all most known Thai BLs by GMM TV and LINE TV which casts the same actors in every series and just switches which gets to be the main couple.Siew Sum Noi is so different and I'm loving it, finally some actors in a BL drama that I haven't seen a million times before. All the actors are different for me, the vibe and story are different, not another drama in the heart of Bankok but in a village in Northern Thailand and they speak the dialect of that village, sing musicals and folk songs from that village. I love the main couple and side couples, their chemistry is amazing and they're all so cuteee.
Usually some of the acting in Thai BLs makes me cringe, but loved the acting in this drama. So much comedy, laughed in every episode till my stomach hurt. So much jokes, and comedy. So much good things about this series. I highly recommend it!
I love everything about this drama except for Ruk's dad, he's a total douche. IG's mom is so funny and awesome, she's kind of a fujoshi lol.
Some people call the music and songs in this drama "weird" but these are people who can't appreciate others' cultures, these are Thai village style songs like how Korea makes Trot songs which I also enjoy and love.
I hope to find more good Northern Thai BLs!
Just finished watching it and I really really really loved it! That Isaan village dialect is kinda hot lol. I bet people who call the songs and "soap/musical scenes" in this series as bad or terrible are kids born in the 2002. I'm a 90s kid but I can appreciate different cultures. Just because a song is cultural and "different" from what you're used to doesn't make it a bad song. I'm so glad they're preserving the culture of Northern Thailand. I found all the couples so sweet and darlings, and the boys from the "God boys gang" are so cute and funny.
IG's mom os so hilarious and sweet. Laughed a lot, I'll definitely rewatch this.

A HIDDEN GEM
M so lucky to have come across this drama. It's so UNDERRATED! Although it was a school based BL, it was uncommon. I haven't come across a similar fake bf to real bf BL drama. The cast was really lovely. The main couple, unlike most BL couples, were not just lovey dovey at all times. I loved the combination of fierceness and cuteness in them. The second and third couples were incredibly cute. The friends were silly and funny. Not that funny though. What was totally different was, usually we see dramas based on city life, University life, etc. But here, it entirely focused on the country life and their culture. The songs were good but the fact that the charecters starts singing out of the blue in the flow of emotions was funny and gave the "Bollywood vibes". It's rare to see that in southeast Asian dramas.Overall, it was entertaining, and definately can be re-watched.

Came for the BL stayed for the Storyline
I really didn’t think this was going to be a good Drama, but the first thing I noticed is the music was terrific. It had me shimmying all over the place, and the rest of the drama kept the same strength as the music. The theme or OST can make or break the drama. Everyone is hot or a cutie pie. Was the acting Oscar-worthy? No, but you can tell there is a connection between these people. This drama is worth a season Two and maybe a spin-off or two, but that is for you to find out, not me, To tell you.Was this review helpful to you?
Music
It was a nice surprise to hear some raw thai music ,it made me search the songs online , their lyrics feel real, close to the reality in the country side . I might be wrong but it felt fresh to hear something other than today's music. Some say it's low budget but to me it's about the message, about acceptance, tradition, fear to be different , fear of not being accepted by family and community and last but most important, about love .I hope this series and others like this one reach those who need to see it .Was this review helpful to you?
I dont know what to put on this headline
I know u must think i am crazy for putting that title as my headlineI know so dont mind me
Anyways
I must say lately i have been bored to the point that i can watch anything and i just happened to go on youtube And watched like about 45 second into an siew sum noi edit and dashed straight into the drama head on
And i was wondering when i was looking for this drama that how come i never heard or see this drama before since its a bl
But damn i got to learn it first hand
And now i totally understand why i never heard of it
Storyline: Low key trash ( ASS with the capital A)
Acting: Its ASS ( these people cant act properly to save their life, i mean even though they are amateur
Come on!!! They should at least get a little experience when it comes to these sorts of things and that was a huge disappointment)
The Ost: 😂😂😂 Man i would give this the worst song i have ever heard in history
They cant expect me to take them serious when that song plays
Their voice: 😐 i am speechless, even i can sing better than them
Do they seriously stand in front of the camera and sing that horrible song and feel to themselves " Yes i did that" 🤔 Thats crazy!!!! Could not be me by far!!!!Lmao
And the green froggy\ alien mask: is it just me but every time i see that mask it jumps me and creeps me out and even in my mind i wish for them to do away with the mask. It was soo freaky!!! But somehow it just keeps popping up because it somehow plays a role in their relationship otherwise i would have taken jt for a ugly mask fetish because i cant understand why they would still keep it around
The only good things i like about the series is that for once in a long time i got to see a decent boy as a bottom , both mcs are hot ( especially the top did u see his body damn!!! he is so fine and so ripped 😆😆), and it is very funny and i love the comedy
Thats basically the only thing good about it
Now for the questions
Would i rewatch it : Oh heavens no !!!! Something like that is to be watched once
But who is to say its just my opinion🤷
Would i recommend it?
Well no and yes at the same time because it depends on the person and as i said before i was bored and i just happened to watch it but otherwise i would not even spare a glance at it

CLICHE PLOT, MEDIOCRE ACTING AND WASTE OF MONEY MAKING THIS SERIES
The whole school themes BL series nowadays is somewhat tiresome and repetitive. It only works with seasoned directors and actors, a good example would be "be my favorite", "Enchante", "HIStory:Days of our lives", I could go on with all this good examples but you know my point is.I think this series is a low-budget given the fact what kind of cinematic they've used and the actors they hired. If I am not mistaken, this actors are new to the industry. I mean what the hell is the casting director doing?? Is he/she BLIND?? Not for insulting but they can cast better and more I would say "sell-able" face.
The plot is worst, acting is mediocre, the setting is cliche. Just because BLs this past few years exploded in popularity means everyone will appreciates just "any" story. This one in particular doesn't even have the essence of a good series. It's like slapping a paint on the wall without considering it's purpose.
I am surprised that it garnered 7 points rating where it should have only 1, sorry for the fans of this series but I've seen a lot of BLs since I can remember and I've seen better, I've seen worst and this in particular is not even in the middle.

Engrossing entertainment
This series is free currently (March 2024) on Dailymotion with EngSub.It's BL but mixed with drama, humour and music. It's very entertaining and was very easy to get hooked on from Ep 1.
The story is there to provide a vehicle for the relationships, comedy and music. The characters are interesting and likeable.
The settings are a school football club in Bangkok and an up-country village which the boys come from. This gives the opportunity for Esaan dialect and singing. The songs are very catchy and sometimes there is dancing as well. In the last episode they sing and dance to the title song. It's obvious that the cast genuinely enjoy it. There are at least three BL couples with friendship turning to love, but the two side couples get very little time. For the side couples it's mostly kept light and fluffy with lots of teasing and smiles. What is nice is that there is a lot of hugging and sympathy among the characters. In the later episodes the two leads are often hugging believably. One is tall, the other shorter. The shorter one Ruk (played by Champ) is very masculine and cute at the same time. This combination reminded me of Pun (played by Ryu), the lead boy in You Are My King 2. Both leads are probably a few years older than their characters, which is usual, but they both have noticeable facial hair (close shaved). Even so, the acting engages your sympathy and you want the boys to have a happy ending. You are not disappointed.

Is this really a musical? Ugh...
I have nothing against musicals, i love them, but this one had the same 3 or 4 songs playing again and again at every giving chance. Not saying that they are bad, but it gets tiresome to hear it every time. I'm in no way saying that this is a bad drama, far from it. It is entertaining, has a cute plot of kind-of enemies-to-lovers, a goofy humor, nice characters; just the plot of homophobe parents that is something that i am tired of seeing and completly overused, but, still nice to watch anyway.Was this review helpful to you?
Without having any expectations, this series actually surprised me with its sweetness. Looks cheap and modest impression, for me this series managed to beat TharnType 2 which incidentally has a fairly large promotional fund.
I feel This series more like my redemption of Nitiman which I thought could be one of my favorite series of this year. But turn out, made me down deeply :”
Another great thing of this series comes from their opening and closing soundtrack, respectively. A Northern Thailand-style music is kinda dopey, it’s remind me of dangdut music from Indonesia. lol

Série fuleiragem
Só quem sabe aproveitar uma boa série fuleiragem aproveitou essa série, esse musical no caso, o panorama que eles fazem da vida do Ruk e dps outros personagens é sem dúvidas um dos pontos mais fortes da série, os pais, os casais além do principal são com certeza outros pontos fortes da série, pra uma série de baixo orçamento eles conseguiram me cativar por todas essas semanas, fiquei muito feliz com o final e com toda a série, os alívios cômicos, as músicas, a atuação de todo o cast foram muito boas, eu com certeza indicarei mais ainda do que já indicava hahahaha. Eu espero ver mais deles no futuro e estou muito orgulhoso pelo IG o ator realmente só tem a crescer e eu espero que cresça muito.Was this review helpful to you?
