GIVE IT A TRY
I am happy that I at least gave it a try and completed the series. However, I thought of dropping it after watching half of the series. Then I read the reviews and thought of giving it a try. I don't regret my decision.1. cuteness is overloaded in this drama
2. every couple's problems were sorted out perfectly.
3. instead of being in a situation of breaking up, they clear their misunderstandings and argument in a loving manner
4. this drama showed each couple's development perfectly
5. Both the main lead's friends got paired up within their group.
6. instead of misunderstanding and keeping it inside of the third person's behavior, they bravely stood up and handled it
7. the leads didn't misunderstand each other with trivial matters like who will be the husband and wife. Also, the side couple didn't argue over this matter.

What a Gem!!!
This show is amazing i have no words. Don’t be put off by the first couple of episodes and stick with it because you wont regret it. This show touches on everything and love it for doing so.Gender sensitivity, promoting safe sex (Durex product placement, anyone?), showing different sides of the queer spectrum. Friendships, insecurities all the things that we go through. The one thing I loved most about this GEM of a show is that the ML were complete opposites in terms of societal pairings (Toh the weirdo geeky guy and Nuea the Hunk and popular guy) but this show managed to put them on equal footing while dealing with some of the relationship issues that we all go through.
I also loved how Toh and the gang would often directly interact the with audience by looking directly at us. I think they did that really well.. the older cast played their roles really well … i am just so impressed with this show.
This seemingly little show that came out of nowhere has managed to make us laugh out loud, scream our lungs out, cringe, get the fuzzies, cry and take us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions every single week while managing to highlight all these relevant themes as well. We love you and thank you, SCOY! ❤️❤️❤️. The team truly put a brilliant show together from actors to production to locations.

The main couple sucks
It wasn’t enjoyable all thanks to the obnoxious love story of Toh and Nuea; an obsessed stalker and an uncharismatic campus heartthrob. I swear, I haven’t felt any lingering emotions or sensations in any of their scenes. I was annoyed by them having over-executed sex scenes for a drama that has the high school concept of sweet and puppy-type love. They are the sole reason why the show is not loveable at all.Nevertheless, the side couple and side characters save the show and have stories that are more fun than the main ones. Sky and Jao's romance was bearable; they started slow yet cute but also ended up having unforgettable scenes as well. My favorite screentime of them was when Sky wasn’t leaving and driving his way back home when the light of Jao’s room was still on. I just loved the simple yet meaningful touch of worry and care. Daisy, Som, and Intouch also add sweetness to the show. I adored their chemistry with each other and were able to make me laugh from time to time.
I know from my heart that I can fully enjoy this show without the existence of the main couple, or just for them being a side character only. It gives me creeps and secondhand embarrassment from all the things that Toh did before they became an official couple with Nuea. It is also obvious that the intimate scenes from this couple are unnecessary and I didn’t feel any spice at all.

Socially awkward, sassy, a nerd..? Here's a drama just for you : )
In BL dramas, nerds, sassies, and socially awkward characters are difficult to watch. Most people skip them by pressing the forward button; but in this drama, they actually take center stage! They're the main characters. To top it off, they are highly sought after by the hot and popular, believe it or not!Although it's not a real-life situation, I can't help but appreciate the producers' kindness. Sure, they're deserving, but life isn't like that. This is why I recommend this drama ONLY to those who don't see themselves as main characters in real life; you'll find it quite heartwarming.
Added bonus > lots of kissing scenes ; )

I just cant do this anymore.
I´m gonna give my very honest opinion here. Just for other people like me who like to watch good acting drama´s that are believable.Just dont watch it, dont waste ur time on it, cus it won´t get better. Even when they get together it gets even worse. The relationship is totally a flop. How is this still a 7.5 out of 10. Ive seen way better story´s with less ´stars´, like ´Advanced Bravely´ thats just a beautiful story (plot, actors, acting and believable play) everything is just heartwarming, the only thing is there is no kissing or whatsoever. But jeeezzz its still 10000 times better than this crap.
Toh makes me cringe every second, not ok! Its just a creep, in reality he´d be in a psychiatric klinic (sorry no offens).
You can see that the actors are really doing their best and I even think that their acting is quite good, but the whole story and how they were told to act is awfully bad. I would like to see them all back in a new plot with not as much overacting and a believable story, cus this is just... I´m sorry i can´t. I gave up, and it´s sad to know that i spend so much time on it already. 😑
PS: everyone who does like this, don´t be offended, this is how i (dont) like series.

me no likey
Are y'all fr ???I really really gave it a chance but it was too cringy for me
Ppl comparing the ML to Kpop stans : are you good ?
Collecting used items and trying to take pics in the bathroom would be just as bad if it were an idol.
Even when I tried to ignore the whole stalking part I found that there was no chemistry between the actors. The second couple had a lil more I guess.
Ppl giving it the same rating as bad buddy and love mechanics are out of their mind.
y'all have to be trolling I don't believe it.
2/10 :
1 for each lesbian from GAP

Welcome to crippy land !!!
I am sorry I realise I am in the minority here but I don’t remember the last time a show gave me this level of the cripps like this one , the character of toh is absolutely revolting they way he his being portrayed I feel sorry for the actor to play this kind of character with his squcky voice and being this helpless demssel in distress while nuea goes around half naked most of the time now don’t get me wrong I like seeing skin just like the next girl but again there was something about the way it was done the felt really crippy to me which made feel just uncomfortable something I don’t remember ever feeling before while watching a BL show which I love dearly . I really try not to judge shows most of the time but this one just felt wrong and in my opinion the money that was spent on this show could have been spent on a better quality show.Was this review helpful to you?

Do It!
This has graduated to my comfort show immediately after the first watch! The show is sickeningly sweet and such a good time. The characters are loud and quirky, the couples are hot, the storyline is extremely cute, what’s not to love!?NueaToh definitely spiced up the screen with their slow burn. Nuea’s possessiveness was a huge IT factor for me. It was clear that his feelings for Toh were new and sudden. The phone case!! Ugh such a good Easter egg! I couldn’t wait for him to pull back that curtain in Toh’s room. Any doubt of Toh’s feelings should have instantly disappeared 😍Toh is a bit obsessive, but who doesn’t like their partner to be a little crazy over them? His mementos were sweet. Honestly his group of friends made this series so wholesome. The care and support they displayed for one another was such a touching sight. 💛
SkyJao, the cutest side couple ever!! I loved their story just as much as I loved NueaToh. I love how Sky helped Jao overcome his insecurities. His struggle with body image was all to relatable but Sky helped him to make small changes that allowed him to become more comfortable in his skin. 🥰 We love a supportive hubby! I felt you never could doubt Sky’s attraction to Jao. Sky’s softer approach caused me to be taken by surprise at his more aggressive demeanor in bed. Their heavier scenes left quite the impression 😝
10/10, definitely recommend! **Warning: Secondhand embarrassment should be expected, but you’ll quickly get over it 😉

Every BL deserves a chance, just not this one...
The headline seems harsh, but once you read this review you will understand what I am talking about.Characters
This BL was obviously meant to be cute and fluffy, which is the case. But the main character just came off as creepy, stalkerish, and just weird. Nobody wants a main character like that, unless it's a psychological or horror series, maybe. Of course nothing is wrong with having a main character like that, it can be interesting if its written right, but in BL like this it's just weird sorry. And the main character, (Including his friend group.) was extremely cringy. I think they were supposed to be comedic? But instead they were just annoying. I think the only character in this whole BL that wasn't annoying was Kaojao, he was a stereotypical bottom character, but he was more bearable than any of the others. I just felt second-hand embarrassment for all of them.
Acting
I am not hating or saying these people are bad actors, but in this series specifically the acting was terrible, like so bad. Their emotions looked so fake and there was zero chemistry between the couples. I had no compassion or any emotional attachment to any of these characters.
Design
Terrible, the school uniforms were a light blue color, and extremely ugly. I am completely okay with unique school uniforms for any show, but these just looked bad, and I just didn't like the material, but of course that is biased of me, and do prefer just traditional school uniforms.
Appearance
The effects were okay? But I didn't really like how it was so bloomy and light. It looked unrealistic, and it hurt my eyes a bit. I wish the lighting was more natural and tinted if you know what I mean.
Music
Can't really say much on this, because how biased it is, but in my opinion the music was bad.
Story
The story was boring and overused. Cute unpopular boy has a secret crush and obsession on an older popular classmate. I've seen it so many times, and each time it was terrible and badly written. It is like the people that wrote this didn't even try to make something good! It was like they put this whole story together in a day, and reused other things from other BL's. Not to mention the romance was horrible, and so was the ending. The ending was so boring, 14 whole episodes and that is what you came up with? It was so unrealistic as well.
STOP MAKING BL'S THAT SUCK!! People can make great stories with straight couples, they should be able to do this with gay couples too.
Anyways you came to the end of my rant, it is totally okay if you don't agree with me, no hate to the actors or anyone involved, just criticism.
Here are some recommendations from a very picky person like me, GOOD BL's.
1. A tale of a thousand stars
2. Not me
3. I told sunset about you/ I promised you the moon
4. The eighth sense
5. Theory of love
6. Gameboys
Thanks :)

It was good but annoying!
Where do I begin, I hate toh. He’s so fuxking annoying and everything about him pissed me off, from the way he talked and acted towards nuea.Now I liked Nuea acting he portrayed his character well, don’t get me started on the side couples cause I felt them wayyyyyy more than toh and nuea.
I did get into it at some point and I feel like I would have enjoyed it more without toh in the equation cause he generally annoyed me, he liked acting innocent and naive but he’s just plain stupid and dumb let’s not forget to mention obsessive.
They showed tohs feelings as a crush but the posters, countless pictures, bed cover and that little projector was plain creepy which made me uncomfortable. In no way was it sweet it just felt too much, In a way to me he didn’t deserve nuea and they just wanted to portray the popular guy and the nerd at the end of the day.
If you look over all of the above then you’ll actually enjoy this series which I eventually had to do, I looked forward to the side shop more and their chemistry and support towards each other was heart warming.

I went from disliking to loving this show
I went from disliking to loving this show. A common sentiment in reviews is that many viewers stopped watching because they felt embarrassed by Toh (Seng Wichai Saefant). I think this happens when you become too invested in a character, as many drama fans do. But this series isn't a drama; it's a pure romcom. The main character is simply a charming idiot. His behavior is so comical, almost to the point of absurdity, that some viewers can't handle it. However, those who stick with it through the first three episodes usually finish the series. In my opinion, Seng is even more charming here than in his other roles. His goofy smile is much more endearing than a serious expression. Overall, while it's a pretty typical romcom, it's definitely worth watching for Billy's fans.Was this review helpful to you?
Not a 'Must watch' nor a hard pass
So this is cringey af. Know this before starting. Upto episode 4 the cringe level is very very high. you will feel like skipping every bit of it and u can. You will not miss anything. But the story progresses after that. It picks up and the cringe level also decreases with development in relationships.Both the couples are really cute and really different. i will not lie, i liked the side couple more than the MC. Simply because I didn't like the stalker/ idiotic behaviour of ML guy.
If you have time and want to watch something fluffy and cute and fun.. you can definitely start this. Just don't expect too much from it and you will eventually start to enjoy it as the episodes progress.
A 7/10.
