Story/plot is lacking, but...
I am glad I read the reviews before watching. I really didn't expect much going into it, and wasn't disappointed.Bad - The story or plot leaves much to be desired, yes there were questions left unanswered, and the "trauma" between Hia Yi and Khondiao was not what I would call enough to be an issue. Things were left for far too long, and it really could have been scripted much better.
Chemistry - The chemistry between Kuea and Hia Lian was very good, believable, but the story line kind of messed with it, imo. When they were on though, it was HOT! Same with Hia Yi and Diao. Great chemistry once they went for it, but story line was just off. Syn & Nuer were the best! Both were so cute and funny and sweet.
Good - The side stories and friendships were extremely funny and really good. Kuea's friends at school were hysterical, they made the show so much more watchable. I loved how they just went along with Syn's prayers and helped Kuea keep up appearances with Hia Lian by dressing like computer nerds! Also, the "Jelly Gang" was very cute. Kuea and Diao supported each other so well.
My most favorite character was the scene-stealing Foei. He was THE BEST! Every scene he was in was perfect, I really wish he had more screen time.
Music - I must say the music, for me, was amazing. NuNew has a beautiful voice, as does Nat. Their songs were so good I keep looking NN up on youtube for more.
Overall, not as bad as I thought it would be after reading the reviews, but could have been so much better.

Cute
I enjoyed this version better than the Japanese version. I did not read the manga, but there were a few things that were kind of left hanging in this version. The comic career of Anda being one of them. I agree with other reviewers that the subs were awful for those of us that don't speak Thai. The re-translating in my brain took a bit away from the story. I liked some of the side stories as well, the chemistry with P'Thee and P'Jet was pretty good, if a bit confusing for a while. There were some really funny and silly moments, and sad and sweet moments. Overall a good in between live-action manga show.Was this review helpful to you?
Best BL
This is an amazing story. An amazing cast. I've been putting off watching this, because so many people said how great it was and I was afraid of being disappointed. I am not! I have seen almost everything Ohm is in, I have loved it all. This is my favorite, followed very closely by Bad Buddy! I really like the chemistry between Ohm and Singto. Singto is another favorite. It was fun to see the twins in the same show, if very briefly. The friend group was great. This is going to be my new favorite rewatch as well.Was this review helpful to you?
Love, music and friends
This show is so refreshing! Yes, it's a high school bl, but it's sweet and hilarious and the music is amazing. This group is so talented and the chemistry for each pair, the group as a whole, and the kids with their families is great! This is going to be one i will rewatch regularly. I loved it!The story is fairly light, only a tiny bit of drama by the usual bl standard. I really appreciate how supportive they are to each other, but at the same time keeping it real with each other.
Gemini and Fourth are so convincing its hard to believe it's their first time as leads.
I've always loved watching Win and Satang in other shows and the don't disappoint here either.

Sweet
This is a very different story than Tonhon Chonlatee. Do NOT expect to have it be consistent with the original or even close really. The character names are the same, but that's about it.As noted in other reviews, this show will not be winning any awards, but it is a great "in between" watch. Not too serious, just a sweet and straight forward love story. I love that Ai is very clear about what he wants. I love that once they are together, Nhai doesn't waver. I love that he also handles Ai's mother issue so well.
There are many unanswered questions; why does Nhai get so sick so easily? What happens with the mother? What happens with Nine and FM? What happens with Ton/Chon? Because it's not consistent with the original story. What's happens with Intha and Song?
Overall it's a nice watch without too much drama. I enjoyed it.

A huge surprise
I can't express what I feel after having finished this series, except to say I felt everything. The story is just so well written, so well acted, directed and edited. The friendships, the relationships, the families, all of it was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I really don't want to say I loved it, that's not enough, nor is it quite right. It touched me in a way I haven't felt in a very long time.There may be complaints about some of the more intimate scenes, but that for me was secondary to the story.
Please watch it.

Much better than season 1
I was very reluctant to watch season 2 after realizing the entire cast is different from season 1. I am so happy I watched it. So much better. The acting, the story, everything is just much better. The story kind of goes over the same stuff as season 1, but in a much more concise and clear way. I also appreciated the special episodes before the actual ones, introducing the new cast and talking about the way they went about learning the characters. I am really looking forward to season 3 if it still includes all of season 2's cast.Was this review helpful to you?

Great watch!
This BL story is smart, funny, witty, and realistic. The chemistry between the leads is through the roof! I cannot say enough about this show. The leads act as if they have known each other their whole lives, as Lee Wan and Shin Gi Tae have, the natural interactions and responses make you believe them. The office squad is so extra, they are all just so amazing. I am so happy I tuned in.I loved the way Shin Gi Tae had no problem expressing himself, pretty much from the beginning. Also, I loved the way Lee Wan played "hard to get" with Shin Gi Tae.
This is a light and funny show, and it's very quick, 8 episodes at 15 min or so each. You do not feel like you missed anything though, it's not rushed, it feels finished. Polished.
It's a very good story, with a very good cast.

Pure entertainment
I love this show. I have watched it many times, I have watched the videos on youtube, and have loved every minute of it. Five guys from very different walks of life coming together to form a team in a VERY short amount of time and being great at it is amazing. The way they support each other and teach each other is really inspiring. It's also hilarious! Kim Shin Young and Lee Teuk as the managers are so funny, I laugh so much while watching. I am also a huge fan of Jang Yun Jung, I love her voice, her songs, her work ethic and the way she looks after the guys like a Mom.If you haven't watched it yet, you should, it is as I said in the headline, pure entertainment.

It's not a bad watch.
I really liked this drama, until the end. The acting isn't bad either, they could have done with a better ML, just my opinion, he seemed to try to act instead of just being. I liked the FL, I thought she did a pretty good job. I liked the interactions with the cast as a whole. The story was the best part it is an interesting one, I kind of wish so many people didn't have to die, but I guess that is the premise of the show. Maybe just have more people not close to the FL?The chemistry with the group is pretty good, their chemistry separately wasn't bad either, but it was definitely better when they were all together.
