It's so goofy watching guys who are so rich that if they want to keep something hidden from their boyfriends, they have secret clubs, secret motorbikes, or secret houses, lol. I just didn't get Zee's character in here. He's dating someone his parents wished him to. He's a very busy businessman. He often neglegts his date. His date, a younger "nong", comes to their dates dressed in a suit, on his best behavior. All smiling and polite. But he is actually disappointed when the dates don't go very far. He loves his "hia", as he calls him, many years. But during one "date", his "hia" plain tells him that he doesn't love him. The nong then, in disappointment, decides to break their engagement. This far, I could understand. And only this far:)

We as the audience know, that nong is trying very hard to please his older fiancee. In his presence, he always immediatelly changes his behavior, even his way of talking. There are many scenes where he is seen quickly changing his clothes, taking his earring off and stuff when he spots him coming. All his friends are helping him hide all the stuff. It's like his stern parent is coming, lol. Yet, we know that hia already knows. All his gifts for nong are things nong "secretly" likes. He also already knows nong is crazy about him, yet he treats him morelike some kind of a guardian than a boyfriend, which gets repeatedly broken by a sudden hot making out scene, which then immediatelly reverts back to how things were. Why? I don't know. There's even a second couple that strangely mirrors the same dynamics.

There are many scenes which are fun. And some moments are SO goofy:) The mentioned kiss scenes are great. On the other hand, 12 episodes is not much, so to spend most of them going in circles and just repeating this hot-and-cold and cold-and-hot-again combo, would be a waste... So, the mains jump right into confession & bed scene in epi 8/12 (I'm sure not complaining about that bed scene;) and then start living "like a married couple" already (it's not really legal in Thailand) and I wondered what would next 4 episodes be about. The second couple is revealed to be the more angsty one... But when you expect them to finally have the crucial confrontation, the older one gifts the younger one A DOG.

Nevertheless, if you ignore this little stumble, the second couple then repeats in epi 10, what the first couple did in epi 8. And it's even more entertaining:) With scenes like this, who can really stay cross with this series?:)

Then, only 2 episodes remain, but perhaps it's better that way, making yet more of them would probably cost too much:) Just the amount of hairproduct, jewelry and makeup all the MALES wear here LOL. They are just like cut out of a glossy kind of magazine, just in every scene. One scene at episode 7 nong gets to meet hia's friends, and they're all gay and they all wear bleached hairdos and open shirts with a necklace and several earrings and overall look like models. Including Zee of course, but with him, his age starts slightly showing and more importantly, with him it's different. Without Zee, without the enormous luck that someone like him was the main cast, without the audience having the blessing of looking into his Zee's eyes to find it's not all shallow and materialistic... There are so many gift-giving scenes that they practically replace a couple's story here, then there is a post-ending "story" in which the YOUNGER one is promoting face moisturizer, LOL... Okay, now I need some straight drama with less pink lipped men to balance this out.

Overall when I rated this, I wanted to go considerably high, for all the enjoyable kiss scenes & bed scenes (my favorite were Yi & Diao's), but also I had to consider the whole nonsencical buying/cohabitating/grooming idiocy & Zee's previous show 'Why R U'. Because this is definitely NOT better.
