as cute as cringe
as weird as it might be, i loved hating it ? or rather i hated loving it. it's really heartwarming, soft and full of love and kindness. the fact that you can really feel how nuea and sky love (respectively) toh and kaojao made me fall for the characters, and the drama.however, some scenes were cringe asf, making me want to
hide under my bed of embarrassment. but still, the sweetness of the characters and their kindness made it a lot more bearable.
it is as sweet as honey, definitely worth it.

Not for everyone
So this show was a rollercoaster to get through, I watched eps 1-6 on my own and really wasn’t vibing with the show I didn’t like the nuea toh storyline and for as much as I loved the jao and sky storyline it wasn’t enough to keep me going past ep 6. But after a very long months break from the show I recently came back to it watching it with a friend and it helped to watch it with someone so I actually got through it and it definitely gets better as a show after ep 7 like ep 8 and on were the best eps but In the end I still didn’t fully like the nuea toh story I just didn’t really take to it or feel much of anything. I don’t think the chemistry was like all the way there but it could be that toh is just an awkward character that sometimes the chemistry gets a little cringey. I thought the sky jao scenes in ep 12/13 were better in terms of build up to it. Overall a solid show that takes some like faith to get through.Was this review helpful to you?

Save Yourself
So this show has been on my watchlist for quite sometime. I kept seeing reels of Billy and Seng from this and it looked cute so I added it. I can’t remember if I had watched the trailer or not, if I did then I don’t know why I continued to watch it so I clearly didn’t lol.First of all, this show was absolutely terrible and I should’ve known because it was Idol Factory and they made GAP (I know this came before GAP) and that was also terrible. I also should’ve known it was gonna be creepy af based off of the novel title and the description, but silly delusional me thought it was going to be fine. No. It wasn’t.
I think all of the actors did a pretty decent job, if I had to play this kind of role idk what I would’ve done. It was some of the most cringey and creepy storytelling and plots I’ve watched, and I’ve seen Tonhon Chonlatee…so you know. Anyways, Toh has got to be the most insufferable character or a TV show. He’s so pick me shy guy, and literally has no fucking chill. We know you like Nuea, stop smiling and giggling at anything that anyone says to you. And I’m sorry can we talk about the temper tantrum at the movies because what the actual FUCK was that??? ARE YOU 5!? And tbh, if I were Nuea when I found the SHRINE of myself in my boyfriend’s bedroom and the VACUUM SEALED TRASH and whatever else was in those boxes…jail. IMMEDIATELY. In my opinion, he didn’t freak out about it as much as he should have. I know you knew he was already kind of weird, we all are, BUT…bestie…you’re just as delusional as me when I thought this was going to be a good show. All you could think about was Toh leaving you, which I guess is understandable but at the same time like…? Idk man everything was terrible about their relationship. It was kind of cute sometimes, but Toh is just so unlikeable I can’t. He’s genuinely so embarrassing and idk how he has friends.
So uhhh ANYWAYS…the stuff I liked about this show. Sky and Jao. That’s it. They were the ONLY saving grace to this show. Sure the flirting for a week with Jao was just a game but it turned into Sky actually liking and wanting to pursue him, meanwhile you find out that Jao has also had a secret crush on him, but was lowkey playing hard to get lol jk he was just scared obviously because Sky is a known player, so how could they be together? How could Sky be with someone like him? It took a lot of convincing from Sky and his friends, that it was okay for them to be together. Jao is very insecure but I love that throughout the series, the more Sky talks to him about why he likes him and that he’s serious, the more comfortable Jao feels with him, the more they fit together and I’m just crying. Sky is what Prapai wishes he could be (Even though I love Sky and Prapai from LITA), but idk Sky was just so amazing for Jao and I liked the fact that Jao didn’t feel like he needed Sky to fix him. Sky was just able to help Jao let go of some of his insecurities which I loved AND he never did anything to Jao (kissing, etc) without either asking him first (we love consent!) or not continuing to do something when he realized Jao was uncomfortable. I would have stopped watching this show if it weren’t for them honestly. They were the best part about it and I would have liked if they were the main leads instead. It’s very rare that I don’t care about the main couple so this is really saying something.
Anyways, if you read all of this thank you for coming to my TedTalk. I don’t know why people rated this show a 10. The acting was over the top, the plot was creepy and cringey and I just don’t know how you can genuinely say you liked it. But whatever floats your boat I guess. Unfortunately it sank mine so yeah. Bye!

Daisy and Intouch deserved more screen time
This series is amazing if you don’t really pay attention to Toh but if he made you have second hand embarrassment each second that means the actor (Seng) is amazing, because he played the cringy character well and I think that if I was acting as him I wouldn’t be able to do it because it’s to cringy. My favorite couple was Intouch and Daisy because they were so cute together and I was so made because they really only got shown at like the last 3 episodes and they had so much potential to be the main couple because I still remember the scene where Daisy was afraid of dating a Intouch because she doesn’t know if he’s okay with being with a trans person, but when Intouch overheard it he told Daisy that he doesn’t care if he’s a guy or a girl because he will still love her either way which literally made me sob so much and I want someone like Intouch because it shows that he loves Daisy so much no matter what way she acts or what gender she is. This series showed each type of LGBT characters in a different way which shows everybody needs to be loved you have straight characters, gay characters, a trans character, and lesbian characters that were played in a way that you’d enjoy their couples no matter what. This series didn’t really disappoint,I definitely recommend this series it would keep you wanting more and more each episode.

You get DUMBER AS YOU WATCH
This bl is horrible and the script is stupid beyond belief. THE Main character, Toh is so useless, annoying, and a creep. This boy can't act like a normal human being for even 2 seconds so he can't be taken seriously. I am hanging on for dear life with this one. I keep wishing and praying that the drama would make some SENSE ( even if its just a little.) ITS NEVER DOES. I am going to keep watching this nonsense because surprisingly it is an EASY but very ANNOYING WATCH.Why do i have to write 500 words to complete my review. This drama consists of nothingness so i dont think it merits me to write 500 words to complete my review of it.

I'm sorry but this is awful
I'm sorry to people that liked this show idm your opinions but out of all Thai BLs I've watched, this is the worst. I'm struggling to finish it as I like to give an honest opinion after hearing the entire thing out but I hate this show. Toh is great for fleshing out the plot but I cannot stand him. He is just such an unlikeable character I can't see any development in his character except him accepting he's ugly?? The writers could've fleshed out the whole bullying thing but they didn't and all that really happened was they sobbed a little and their boyfriends magically fixed their insecurities....also Jao being called "fat" is so weird to me as he is most definitely not, compared to others saying those comments he's about the same. It's just overall odd and I really am struggling to finish the show. I have to stop myself from going on my phone during it because I dislike it that much.....I'm normally one to try dig deeper into the whole mental thoughts and portrayals beyond the show (such as the creepy stalker behaviour WHICH IS NOT NORMAL??!!) but this just feels so brain numbing and mushy that all I see is annoying cringe guy somehow whips a jock by putting a dumb gift on his car door....honestly.....EDIT
After finishing the show it did not get any better and ended shitty like I expected. Absolute waste of time I wish to never remember this series. Another thing I realised pissed me off about Toh was how HE WOULD NOT STOP DOING THAT GODDAMN SMILE!!!! EVEN IN CRYING SCENES HE WOULD KEEP SMILING IT TURNED INTO AN ICK. I have lost all remaining sanity.

Don't miss the Stalker love story
Omg how this series can be this much hot and cute. Everytime nuea and toh come closer, its just fire.Guys don't drop this series by watching first 2 ep. Because at first i was not interested to watch this series.. but now I'm skipping enchantè to watch this series.
Their chemistry is just amazing and they are really comfortable with each other in the NC part.
I initially thought that it will be a small series with 6 ep but its actually have 14 ep.. and I'm very much excited to watch the next ep after nuea confessed to toh..
It doesn't have any strong story or something we haven't seen but it's cute to see the Stalker part because we all had done something like this in our past. But luckily they love each other.. and i loved all ost from this Series, it gives k drama ost kinda vibe.
Don't think guys. It's really cute and fun to watch. Don't forget to switch on the ac.. it's going to be really hot😜

CRINGIEST AND MOST BRAINLESS SERIES EVER - WATCH IT AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION
If you want something to play as background noise this is definitely the series to go for.The story, acting and dialogues are just the cringiest shit ever. Definitely the worst BL I HAVE . EVER . WATCHED.
The dialogues and acting just seemed soooooooo cringe!!! So much so that I can't help but just burst out laughing and even skip such scenes. Like how is this even a teeny weeny bit realistic? Even I feel embarrassed and sympathy for the actors having to act out such scenes and dialogues. I would expect this as something out a Twilight fanfic written by some fanatic fan.
Whereas for the storyline, I don't see where it is heading? There's no story and no character development whatsoever. All I see is just Toh and Nuea being horny for each other. It is JUST SO BORING.
Also, Toh's STALKING behaviour is DEFINITELY borderline serial killer. To think that it may better as the series continues but NO, of course not, they just have to simply not address it (even when Toh's friends tried to wean him off it) and EVEN make it seem as if it is acceptable just because Nuea doesn't mind it. Like WTF?! HOW IS THIS EVEN HEALTHY?!?!?! And what kind of message does this send to viewers? HELLO???
Urgh it just makes my blood boil and my blood pressure to skyrocket thinking how this series even got to be broadcasted.
The only saving grace is the side couple Sky and Jao and the ONLY REASON I continued watching from as early as ep 4 and why I give a 2/10 overall and 1/10 for rewatch value. As compared to Nuea and Toh, they seem so much more realistic and relatable, making me want to root for them and definitely the cutest couple from the series. And THAT is the only good thing I will say about the series.

Creepy lead, trite plot, barely tolerable, overall meh
6 episodes in and this series is just too hard for me to stick through. I'm not even sure if I can finish watching it. This has got to go down in the list of the most annoying series I have watched!The lead, Toh, I'm not a fan of him. His character and behavior seems downright like a creep and stalker than the kind to love someone. He's constantly smiling awkwardly and the acting is not bad if this is what the character was originally supposed to do, to creep people out. I understand the point was to make people laugh with a lighthearted comedy but there's a fine line between being comic and being downright creepy and I'm afraid the character stepped into the latter.
Coming to his love interest Nuea, he's actually not bad at all. He's good looking, our usual moon-of-the-college guy who's loved by many but loves none. I have no idea why he falls for Toh nevertheless, he does. He's much more of a normal character than Toh. His actions and his behavior makes much more sense.
And the strange part is, in fact, Nuea is at times creeped out by Toh's behavior. The scene where Toh goes to the party with his cut finger and Nuea dips it into the water before putting on a band-aid on the cut, Toh refuses to throw the water away and instead kind of forcibly tries to drink it, which is pretty disturbing behavior, at least it seemed so in the drama. Even Nuea feels like Toh is kinda weird and not in a cute, romantic way either.
The other couple, Sky and Jao are our average BL couple where the top-bottom line is drawn pretty nicely, I'd say. This is still faaaaaaar more tolerable than the lead character Toh and his obsessive relationship with Nuea. But even the second couple's plot is so trite that it's just meh at best.
Moving on, as for the third couple, I wish they showed a little more of the GL they were hinting at. It never clearly says tat the girls are dating but we all know that they have feelings for each other anyway. I would love to see more of their screen time in the coming episodes.
As for the friends, I think the friends are very supportive and nice, specially Som. She's quite a lovely character, she never overdoes it and intrudes her friends' privacy but is always there when they need her.

I think people should definitely watch this show coz you just need to handle those embarassing moments rest the show itself will keep you going.
Also there are moments when you are going to laugh like crazy coz I was literally laughing like some crazy person. The scenes where do hilarious.
So watch if you can handle those High level of embarassing moments ❤️
