Dangerous Romance (2023)

Well done...Not sure why others didn't like it...

I am not going to go into spoiler territory or, retell the story...I just want to say that I really enjoyed this series. It was believable. It stayed in its lane and used every character. While we could see what may happen, the writers handled it well enough so, we weren't yelling at the screen when things went wrong for a character or, characters we cared about.

Loved the grandmother. She had heart and watched everything unfold and only occasionally stepped in to guide it. The father didn't understand and gave up too early. But, with everyone else's help - found his way. You could see why people did what they did and where their mistakes were made - loved that we got to see them own it and learn from them.

This one will stay in my library so, I can go back to favorite episodes. It isn't easy to open yourself up when you have spent so long protecting yourself from hurt. Happy to see this one unfold in an acceptable timeline and while they may have gone too far in the current trend of let's everyone be gay by time the credits roll - it's forgivable since we end up liking everyone involved.

best enemies to lovers story ever i swear

I absolutely love everything about this series, the story, the acting, the music, everything. So, because of that, I don't have much to say about it. They way they're able to make a happy scene genuinely happy an make the viewer (at least me) smile from ear to ear (like fr my jaw hurt at some point) and a sad scene make the viewer genuinely upset. And, that's literally what these types of scenes are supposed to do in every film, but I don't know how to explain it. I think part of it has to do with how amazing the story. I was absolutely blown away when I finished the series (which I wish I never did :,)

Annoying privilege

I'm late to the BL world and keep discovering actors I've never heard of and then have a list of dramas I need to find. This is no exception. Chimon (Sailom) is great. The expressions he has and the sincerity (it seems to me) with which he is portraying his clever, struggling, dignified character has pulled me into this story. In some scenes I hardly notice Perth (Kang) (sorry!). I'm not saying he can't act, just that his on-screen partner is really good.

The first few episodes made me feel so uncomfortable that I wasn't sure I wanted to continue. The bullying was nasty (obviously) and borderline sexual. The bully wanted power and worship, but deep down (as is sometimes the case) wanted to be noticed and cared for by someone...anyone.... It got better as it progressed.

The stark difference between a life of privilege and one of struggle made me angry. I know it happens in reality, but I was still angry!

As the drama progressed, I still wasn't sure if I would finish it, as Kang annoyed me so much (Perth's acting continued to be great).

What I liked: the grandmother - she's a smart cookie. Chimon's acting and his character, Sailom. The chemistry between Chimon and Perth was clear and there were a few scenes where they seemed to be having fun and there was real laughter. Loved Auto. Loved the side couple: Nawa and Guy - I didn't see that coming until it happened....

What I didn't like: the bullying

I NEED MORE

Dangerous Romance was wild! The bullying in the first episodes was hard to watch but when you followed the story and the people it was so beatiful. The two friend groups went from bullys and victims to friends witch was nice to see.

Sailom And Kanghan was two diffrent yet so similar characters and to see them get to know each other and become friends and later on boyfriends was SOOO BEAUTIFUL! I loved their relationship so much and they really helped each other to become better.

PerthChimon was the foundation of this series, it was made for them. And the side couple, NawaGuy had a more realistic growth. For them it took time to grow fond of each other which I get since Nawa was one of the bullies.

This drama had everything, the plot, music and acting - everything was perfect! This is what I call a 10/10 series!!

Goddamn good

Well you can't blame me for giving this an overall 10... I mean you should watch to see for yourself. The first episode 2 episode might be a little too much for bullying and all but it's getting better and now I'm in episode 4 and still on going it is incredibly good. I love how kanghan became soft towards sailom when that 'incident' happened at home. The drama just keeps getting better and better though I have to wait every weekend for new episode but it's really worth the wait. This is the only series that I've been watching and waiting for an update weekly, I normally wait for the series to be completed before diving into it but this one is really calling my attention every new release. Perth and Chimon have really reallllly good chemistry so glad that they have their own series now because I wished for them to have their own series when they were casted as a side couple in Never Let Me Go which I find really cute. I also love the involvement of the two (might) side couple Nawa and Guy I loved them in My Gear And Your Gown so I was really surprised to see two of my favorite couple in one series. That's all I hope this helps you get encouragement to watch the series. Believe me it will not let you down til episode 4... will wait how the story unfolds.

Love this show!

I intended to wait until the show wrapped and binge-watch it but I waited 5 weeks, have caught up and I am enjoying it so far. I am not the target audience and I can appreciate what the show is doing. The plot is simple yet complex in ways where you get to think on a deeper level about class, society, morality, and such. The show is moving along so well.

The chemistry between the main leads is sizzling; the storyline is interesting and based on the novel, I am anticipating a lot of character development for both the leads— painful, heart-wrenching, and hopefully a HEA.

Waiting each week for a new episode is agonizing; I’m thinking I could hold off for another 6 weeks and finish it in one go, I hope I am successful ?.

Chimon in a boys love romance is dangerous for my heart

This has to be the most giving roller-coaster of emotion from the Thai BLs I’ve watched this year. The start was too cruel and unacceptable to the point that I hate the overall appearance of Kanghan. I can’t stand those people who are privileged and keep bullying the weak for the sake of their entertainment. My blood kept boiling during the first few episodes of the inhumane behavior of the bully students as well as the evil teachers who were biased toward those students with power. The drama gets me into the pit of range and it somehow contributes a lot since I keep loving Sailom, better and better.

When I say that Chimon is dangerous for a homosexual series, I am of the combination of how great he is as an actor along with playing a gay role that has been my go-to type of genre. I cried episode by episode and wished nothing but genuine happiness to Sailom and his brother. Our boy deserves all the generosity in the world and always feel so touched by how hardworking and kind his personality is, despite the hellish world he lives in.

Throughout the show, I can see the redemption era of Kanghan and his crew, until the time when I fully forgive him but never forget how toxic he is from the start. Perth and Chimon have established an unexpectedly firm and solid chemistry. Their acting skills provide such an intimate and genuine touch of their respective characters.

The second couple, Marc and Pawin, did their best to keep up with the main couple. They previously acted as the main couple but this project is exceptional for the two of them since it attracts more people to be indulged with their pairing. Honestly, ever since their first drama together, I have been in love with them and am so happy to see a better result from them in this show.

Another memorable plot twist that the drama provides to us is the unexpected love triangle with Sailom, Kanghan, and Pimfah who have feelings for one person but the other person has feelings for the other person. Thankfully, Pimfah ended up moving on and found her future partner to their new teacher, Napdao.

Overall, Dangerous Romance has a good way of showcasing a dramatic youthful story between people with deep pasts. I like how consistent they are in providing us a quality-wise episodes. Best scene? -the cute and goofy smiles of Sasilom when having a bath together with Kanghan.

Giving up on troubled youth isn't the solution, guidance and direction can make a huge difference

I like the fact that this show shows the hard reality instead of just glossing over it. Bullying, broken family, social class difference, poverty, debt are very real problems and reality of life. I prefer realistic stories like this when it's portrayed well. The show hasn't tried to romanticize bullying, which is already a great start. Life isn't bright skies and butterflies and humam beings are hugely flawed. Social problems exist and many people can change for the better, if they get some push towards the right direction. Giving up on troubled youth isn't the solution, guidance and direction can make a huge difference, they deserve a second chance. I think this is important to keep in mind while watching the series.

The acting and chemistry between the leads is already enough to keep me fully invested. Perth Chimon have done a wonderful job. They've brought their characters to life and it's clear how incredibly talented they are. The supporting actors are good too.
