Only Friends (2023)

Loved it from the beginning

I usually don't write reviews but this time I had to.

I love this series. The last 2 episodes felt rushed a little but besides that? I absolutely fell for it.

Sand and Ray relationship was portrayed perfect. Mew's feelings for Top and Boston showed that people may feel differently about the same situation towards different people. Boeing and Atom felt out of place, theirs plots wasn't nessesary and only messed up for nothing majorly important. I'm twisted about Boston and Nick break up. I felt sorry for Boston and happy for Nick at the same time - Neo and Mark portrayed them ideally. I almost forgot about Dan's existence at the end, the same case as Atom and Boeing.

The ending - great, but I miss Nick. He should have some closure, maybe they should show us how his work was going? And Boston - I hoped we would see him as a photographer in New York for only a few seconds. I'm waiting for an announcement about new series in this universe! I'm 100% sure that Mix appeared for a reason.

Music was absolutely great, period. From Let's try to Night Love - I loved it. And Sand's recommendations - I added many songs to my playlist after that.

FUCKING WATCH IT!!

It was such a rollercoaster of emotions that after every ep you felt something! Either happiness, sadness, anger but you never felt bored or empty. I'm so happy the show continues! SandRay, the best couple, got happy ending which was my main wish and we also got Mix at the end which was my second wish. Everything ended just as I wished but second season makes me nervous from experience like SOTUS S or Young Royals... and many more ofc but for SandRay I'd handle everything. I'm seriously curious about Mix's character and hope his characters' name won't begin with B which means no good in this story and also no happy ending. If Earth joins him throughout the show, I couldn't wish for more. My somsoms heart would be in seventh heaven. This show inspired me so much and helped me go through every week. I thought I'd feel empty when it ends because I didn't expect it'd seriously continue but popular and amazing shows deserve to be longer. 10 out of 10. Seriously amazing!

I absolutely love this drama!

I started watching this drama when it first aired because of FirstKhao. I have gotten into so many new actors because of this drama.!

If you are a fan of drama, this one is for you. There is so much drama and love in this. I honestly did not expect to love this drama as much as I did.

Story: the storyline is very interesting with friends creating a hostel together. I feel like there could have been more time spent working on the hostel, but there is so much already going on that it is understandable why there wasn’t. This drama contains a ton of forms of love and not just in sexuality. It shows different personalities and different relationships regarding locality and love for one another. I love a drama with friendships involved, obviously this is one of them.

Acting/Cast: as mentioned, I started this drama because of my love for First and Khan. This was the first time I’ve seen Neo play a character like this, beware of his character lol. This is my first drama with Force and Book in it, I’ve loved them from the beginning of this drama. Every actor is so insanely talented. I have to just say how well Khao did in his emotional scenes, his acting is top tier. I love this cast so much.

Music: ok ok, the intro song is so good. I always jammed to it every time a new episode was on. Even the other osts were just so good (especially the ost in episode 14 with FirstKhao). Also, speaking on music, I am obsessed with Sand introducing Ray to new bands and concerts. It’s so cute.

Rewatch Value: the way I am tempted to start rewatching it rn. I will 100% rewatch it sometime soon. This drama has 100% rewatch value.

Overall: I can definitely say that this drama is one of my favorite dramas and I have watched almost 90 dramas. I really hope for a season two. I feel that we can get a lot more storyline from this drama. Please make it happen! I can’t wait to watch other works from all these actors!

Please give this drama a shot! You will not be disappointed! It’s on YouTube GMMTV :)

You'll need therapy after every episode

I'm so happy about the ending they give us, finally Nick opened his eyes and all the others are happy together, I hope they'll give us a special episode or a second season. At first I was really hopeless with all the angst and drama, but in the end everything is going good and everyone, except for Nick and Ton, is happy together. I was so surprised at the end of the last episode with Mix apparition. I really hope it means second season or special episode.

Not your typical BL

This wasn’t just another BL this was a visceral experience to love, life, and complicated relationships. This one is a true LGBT+ series, much like you’d see in America.

My favorite couples were Sand and Ray, I really relished watching the two of the grow into each other. I especially liked when Ray apologized and asked Sand to to be patient with him. The whole scene touched me.

I’m also glad the lesbian couple wasn’t just a throw away. I hope to see more of them in the future.

It was well executed and the fashion and music (soundtrack) was a chefs kiss.

Is this the best series ever?

YESSSS!!! I loved every second of this show and everything was perfect! The acting, the music and the storylines was GOLD, PURE GOOOLD!! After a BL break this got me right back and boy was it a ride??
The pairings was so good and all the ships were amazing, I mean FirstKhao can't go wrong ? NeoMark was a pair I didn't knew I needed and ForceBook was super cute as always! The only thing I didn't care for was how the TopMew relationship had so many struggles and it just got draged out. But overall it was PERFECT!
The whole production was amazing soooo
do yourself a favour and watch this NOW?

One of my favorite BLs and best acting I've seen so far

Now usually drama about friends with benefits relationships aren't my cup of tea, but this show was something else. I have to give credit to the amazing acting specifically First (Sand) cause oh my gosh the way he can express emotions with just using his eyes is a talent. The other actors where amazing as well which really sold the story to me.

Now most people wouldn't agree with me but I think the story is kinda realistic and people should use this as a sort of tutorial on what situationships are and how most people end up hurt, taking Boston and Nick's relationship for example. They also show how people can change over time as well as never changing (Top and Boston).

At first tbh I wasn't a big fan of Mew's character but he grew on me over time.

And most of all Sand and Rays relationship. Thats all I need to say. My fav character is obviously Sand (not only cause he's hot) but he knows his worth and its a breath of fresh air.

10/10 would recommend (unless ur not a fan of spicy scenes cause my god theres a lot in this show lol)

BEST SHOW EVER!

After watching the 6th episode, I can clearly state that this show is the most intense, drama-filled show I have watched.
I love all the acting, especially in episode 6, Book and Khaotung delivered on all aspects. I cannot wait to see how Mew will act in the next couple of episodes, with the truth finally coming out.

Moreover, the history between Top and Sand interests me so much! I cannot wait to see how their relationship is evolving with hopefully more information coming to light, and potentially an appearance of Sand`s ex.

The only negative about this show is that 12 episodes are not enough :)

it was good

This series was a total mess, but I really liked it. Lets start with Top and Mew. Mew was so innocent and naive from the beggining, but when Top cheated on him with his friend, he became out of control and acted so stupid. He wanted to took revenge but went too far (my opinion). Top didnt deserve to suffer so much, he already learnt his lesson and all. The drama between them lasted till the end, but at least Mew gave him a second chance.
Sand and Ray are my all time favorite couple, I liked them so much and the chemistry between them was obvious. I felt sorry for Sand, because his ex betrayed him and then when he met Ray, he didnt know what he want ( Ray was in love with Mew from the beggining and there was a chance for them to be together, thanks to Top`s mistake). Ray suffered a lot also. He was alcohol addicted and it was painful to watch how he lived. Sand wanted to help him and always been on his side.
Boston and Nick wasn`t my fav. couple in this series, because of Boston. He was disgusting in this series. He slept with Top, with Nick who really loved him, with Atom and many more people. He wasnt capable of normal relationship. He betrayed his friends and Nick. I felt sorry for Nick, he deserved a person who love and support him. At the end, he didnt give one more chance and said goodbye to Boston. Dan was better than Boston to be honest.
Another character who I didnt like is Boeing. He betrayed Sand, Top and when he came, he messed up everything. Sand almost gave him a second chance.
At least everything ended well, but this guy who showed in the end.. i think that in season 2 (if they make a second part) he will cause troubles.

The most intrigued and traumatizing BL I've ever whatched by far

I have a lot to say about this series. First of all, I've been really impressed about the emotions It conveys. A BL series has never left me awake at night to cry about all its breakouts. The Story made me feel anger, sadness, jealosy, happyness, passion and love of the characters.
I liked the Story for the fact that It was intriguing, but It was to problematic and full of betrayals, and I didn't like that.

I wanna talk about the characters.
First of all, the one I've liked the most from the beginning of the Story... NICK. I mean, why does so few people like him. He Is perfect, he is cute, romantic, he Always gives another chance to Boston even if he breaks his heart and makes him cry, Just because Nick Is too in love with him. He Is also a nerd and he Is cleaver, so, he Is a unique character I've never seen in BL and I dont think i'll see a character similari to him in the future. HE NEEDS A HAPPY ENDING.

Then there's Sand, who I think Is the most loved characters by all the fans. He also does everything for the person he loves, Ray, and Always forgives him, never getting angry. He even renounces to his Jobs for him. He refuses to keep working as a Singer so that Ray avoids alcool and, of course, he refuses to produce wine(?) for him.
I think Ray needed to talk to his father at the end.
Oh and take a Moment to appreckate him Just for his musical tastes (Arctic Monkeys!)

I don't have much to Say about Ray, I'm Just Sorry for his mental problems, and his alchool addiction, and his one-sided-love for Sand, but he has been very lucky to meet Sand who saved his Life a lot of times.

Then there's Mew. At the First episode i thought I would have liked this characters, for his being romantic and sensitive, but I changed my mind. I think he Is exaggerates when he takes revenge and I HATE when he tries to change himself.
Also... WHY IS EVERYBODY OBSESSED WITH HIM IN THE STORY? (Ray, Top, Boeing and the due at the end)

What to Say about Top and Ton? I didn't like them but they could have been treated better during the story. I'm Happy that Top had a Happy endings (even thought I disliked him for his rude way to approach to Nick and Ray), and I'm disappointed sbout Boston ending with Nick.

Then there are Chuen and April, two comfort characters Who didn't bring problems to the story. GO LESBIANS

At the end we have the worst character of the entire Story: Boeing. Ok, differently from Top, I'm glade he didn't have a Happy ending. He literaly didn't deserve It.

That's all. I can't believed Book and Force are coming to have a fanmeeting in Rome, at 1 hour from my house but i think I won't go cause tickets are too expensive.
