gave me a headache every time
Overall: the plot did not plot. Watched uncut on GagaOOLala. Also aired cut/uncut on WeTV and cut on YouTube (they cut the NSFW scenes). 10 episodes about 40 minutes each. MFlow Entertainment also produced: Beyond the Star, Ai Long Nhai, Coffee Melody, Second Chance and With Love.Watch Suggestion: instead of watching the series, watch the Behind The NC Scenes (note the thumbnails have nothing to do with the scenes) https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/3965/time-the-series-behind-the-nc-scenes-2024-e01 These are actually fully edited with music though they occasionally have someone giving directions.
Content Warnings: murder, sexual assault/attempted rape, dub/non con? (not sure what exactly that was around 30 minutes in episode 1), sexual harassment, beaten up, drugging, manipulation, slaps/fight, blood, mental health struggles, non con that turns consensual, breaking & entering, kidnapping, non con video recording/sharing
What I Liked
- the intro didn't make much sense but it did set up high stakes
- at least the manager eventually followed him to his room in episode 1
- the kissing/NSFW were decent (but felt directed instead of organic at times)
Room For Improvement
- not sure what the plot was supposed to be, we had fast jumps to characters that are not introduced well/I didn't really know who they were (especially bad in episode 5), it was also boring ie 7 minutes of guys flirting with women in episode 3
- everything felt odd, the dialogues, the lack of realistic reactions to things, no one acted like a human
- the timeline became especially choppy in episode 7, was not sure how much time passed between scenes
- way too much screen time in episode 1 with the stereotypical/cliche fighting/yelling trans women and evil wannabe girlfriend (reminded me of Be Mine Superstar, not in a good way), luckily the yelling went away
- the set up for the NSFW in episode 1 was awful
- the two leads needed to be styled differently, they looked kind of like brothers
- comedy sound effects that weren't funny
- episode 2 had a very long/odd flashback/dream
- nonsense stuff, that jump drive map in episode 5 being just one of a ton of examples
- cliche evil women
- cliche drunk trope (very fictional mouth says no but body says yes), cliche saw someone talking with a woman and then refused to communicate
- the twist at the end

????????
tem uns roteiros que me impressionam de como passam no controle de qualidade e resolvem fazer uma série sobre.o primeiro episódio já começa uma bagunça, o principal é um coitado que mesmo no fundo do poço tem cara de absolutamente nada, e é difícil uma história te prender quando o ponto de vista é de um personagem tão mal feito quanto o foam.
as NC parecem acontecer aleatoriamente e em momentos que o casal mal foi introduzido, além de tentarem mostrar o máximo possível da situação mas acabar fazendo algo mal feito que demonstra ainda mais claramente que aquilo é atuação.
- os beijos são bonitos, mas passou disso e parece pornografia roteirizada que resolveram enganar o público com jogada de câmera.
o interesse romântico do foam é um ator melhor, ele parece demonstrar as coisas e quando as cenas estão focando em como ele se sente eu quase gosto de assistir o que tá acontecendo.
Bew e park tambem me divertiram, mas andaram rápido demais e aquilo de entrar na banheira de cueca me deixou um pouco mais irritada do que eu gostaria de admitir.
passei muito tempo assistindo e depois fiquei me perguntando porque que eu fiz isso comigo mesma.
tenham amor próprio e não sejam igual a mim.

An attempt to harm mental health, but in a negative way
Certainly, the boys are in various settings, such as a bathtub of water less hot than their bodies, busy trying to bring out the emotions in a failed attempt to make an exciting BL drama.If watching series like this is harmful to mental health, it is equally harmful to write a few words, even to talk about its low quality.

so bad and I don't mean bad in a good way
Not really sure what to say really UGH!!For me a lot of what was going on made no sense and the story was well I thought all over the place.
A lot of the acting from most of the characters especially the support/side characters was beyond cringe.
Its like they didn't even bother to test people for the roles they got before giving them their parts.
Almost like they grabbed random people they saw on the street and gave them a part or
because the actors that got roles just happen to be signed with the agency. Sorry but acting or singing or any other talent you either have it or you don't.

Not worth a watch!
One of the worst BL'S I've ever seen! There was no real plot, the acting was subpar and it felt all over the place. Not really sure what this was. The kissing scenes were the only thing that looked realistic! The NC scenes were pretty bad; as if the actors were trying to force these scenes to look good, yet failing miserably. Where was the story behind this BL? I managed to get through the entire series somehow( dislike leaving things unfinished), yet I never should have started watching it in the first! It really was pretty awful.Was this review helpful to you?

God, what was that? With pretty cute actors . the main four .... the rest is all in the furnace. I still have hope that Thailand will understand that transgender people are not always screaming hysterics. As well as gl -where they show girls who are always crying and hysterical. Stop it if you don't know how to cast a character. They are ordinary people, just like everyone else. And by the way, it is quite a rare case of dressing up in bright clothes and makeup to attract attention. Only the stupid do that. And so, to say a good thing? Well, the only one who played well was Camp Kunatip Trakarnchan (the role of Chris). And Atom Piyawat Kunrapankanrayakon
(Little's role). that's all. Jimmy Jiramate Chu
(Ta) yes, the boy is a debutant, but this look at nowhere, not the ability to show emotions at all, was very distracting. He only succeeded well when he was asleep. perfect.

Ain't no way they ended this on a cliffhanger
Honestly I don't even want to talk about it because this show has already wasted enough of my time. and I don't want to waste any of yours. Do not watch this show. There, if you want to know the reasons why, then you may continue reading at your own accord.First lets start with the most obvious and glaring issue. The shoestring budget this series had. Now don't get me wrong, BLs with small budgets are my bread and butter. But at least many of those shows have charming characters and a coherent plot for me to follow along with. Time, has none. While this show technically has four couples, only two are developed on and the other two are left as complete afterthoughts. Not that the first two couples have much chemistry or likeability to them anyways. With absolutely zero chemistry and unnecessary sex scenes that drag on for, not even joking, at least five minutes every time. And unlike The Sign and Be Mine Superstar, I was sat waiting and praying for it to be over and move on with the plot.
Which doesn't exist. The boring plot that feels like it has every part of it taken right out of the writer's ass. "Yeah sure, the main couple were childhood friends!" or " Yeah we'll have the rich guy's mom come to the rescue last minute!" The characters also constantly talked about a shady and suspect man whose the leader of the black market or web or something, honestly forgot already. And its only in the end its revealed that one of the main characters is actually working for him, despite him not having been shown or hinted about said association? Which gave me the most second hand embarrassment. As if this show of all things is going to get a second season. Real Hit Bite Love energy with that final scene.
Overall I'm so over this confusing, boring, and messy show. I genuinely wish I had never watched this series and spent my time doing literally anyone else.

produced
the actors visuals are on top 10 ⭐️but the acting needs more practise some of it is good some of it is not but i don’t think it’s the actors fault the story does not give any sense… like he was in a coma but actually went back in time to save Chris… and than he woke up and Chris is alive? and not boo? like Boo died yes, but if Tar saved Chris,and Tar never actually went to boo for the acting because he got shot before that happened… and why Boo died in the first place was to save Tar from sexual harassment because he was drugged… and ninie or what is her name killed Boo…so idk what this really was… or those clips when he went back to 2018 and he wasn’t allowed to sleep on the bed so he slept beside and than poff se* scene I knew it was like a memory or something but they could at least probably make it more scenes like an effect or some sort?
it’s a cheap drama for sure.
the actors are really handsome and hope they get to play in a good drama in the future

Bad, "Baddest" Worst
Ok, I needed to join this community after watching this show because I had to write a review. I read the other reviews and I thought, everyone have their likes and dislikes, so I will give it a go. And boy were you guys correct. Having my toes nail pull would be sooo much more enjoyable. There is so much wrong with this show, that there is not any instances where I can say there was at least one part which was enjoyable. Even the eye candies could not save this. A dumster fire have a better story.Was this review helpful to you?

I didn't understand the plot
The storyline was all over the place and to be honest I didn't understand this series at all. Especially the end, what the heck was that. Sure some NC scenes were good but to many different characters with the plot. It didn't make sense. Like the two boys being friends. The one painter and that boy little they had nothing relevant to the story. Plus that crazy girl trying to rape tar/foam and then killing the manager. Everything was a mess. Not likely to watch it again.Was this review helpful to you?
ep 8 min 20 is the best part
I think most of us agree how poor this has been.From the 2 mains , Camp was the most convincing both had some chemistry but NC's were not good wit a towel in the bad tub.
Two remote sides made no sense, both wanted to be an actor, was not linked tot he main story
Then bad kisser blondie turned out to be doing mom and son, OK we hadn't seen that one before
Best chemistry was between Petch and Bas, and ep 8 min 20 they gave it their best. I must say that in all the BLs I watched this steamy kiss was enjoyed by both boys so much, well done! Maybe both can have a storyline of their own in another BL

Whats went wrong with time the series
When I started watching this series I didn't have high hopes as from the very 1st ep it was clear the actors ain't that good but I still watched it . I felt that the story had potential but was not executed properly . The worst thing about the series is the acting tbh . Most of the kissing scenes are irrelevant and looks forced . There was no chemistry btw the characters. I feel if the a big production had made this series with good actors , it would literally be a solid 7 series or maybe more .If u wanna watch it u can def can but for me the acting spoiled the mood ..
