Make It Right: The Series (2016)

BL has always been my favourite and at first I was wondering what was going on and if it is actually worth watching. I suggest, dont hesitate! The story for Fuse and Tee of course stood out the most and both of them were absolutely cute! It broke my heart when they pushed each other away but I guess their interest for each other overcame it. The mature scenes--unexpectedly, didn't make me stop or even think about it. For the other side couples, I really look forward to see what stories are hidden in the next 4 episodes. I guess the pacing is all right, excluding the side couples. They need more screen time but the main couples' cuteness is somehow satisfying. Lol. The amount of humor is just right and I really-REALLY expect a sweet ending. The drama in it is just nice and I'm really happy about it too! I really hate being depressed but many other dramas choose to have more of the depressing parts than happy parts. It's the first time I'm writing a review and giving ratings too. I guess this drama made me feel the need to express my thoughts too.

In Your Heart: The Prequel

I want to make the creators step on Legos for 10 years!

Why do I have to say, "If not for the rape . . ." That shouldn't be something I have to preface a drama with! This is just In Your Heart all over again. The side couple has such great scenes later when it comes to caring for a partner's sexual health, etc. But it is virtually impossible to see anything as positive with the black cloud of sexual assault hanging over everything.

I don't really have much else to say except that they fucked this up so bad, and they didn't need to. What was the reason?! WHAT. WAS. THE. REASON. Actually, I do know the reason. Because it shows society that the drama isn't necessarily approving of Gay people (also to frame them as being predatory): "He's just like that because . . ." You get what I'm saying.

I have other things I could complain about, but I'm tired. Writing this review made me tired. This drama made me tired.

As far as the reason I watched this in the first place (the Bi rep), here are my thoughts on that: The ML, Fuse, is likely to be Bi. He seems to be in a state of simultaneously denying and accepting his attraction to another man though. So, perhaps Queer would be the best term for him.

It's worth the watch, even though I rated it quite low

Okay so I would love to give this Drama an 8 because it was quite endearing, however, objectively I can not give it more than a 7.

First off the cast: I only knew one of the actors from other series and it was quite interesting to see him this young. Overall the entire cast seemed quite young, however since their characters were pretty young too it made sense. They were all okay acting out their parts, but some parts seemed rather unnatural.. it got better the further the series advanced though.

Now for the plot: the series kind of gave me the feeling of a 15 year old boy trying his hand on writing a series... the Humor and story in itself seemed a little “childish” however, this is not meant in any bad way, since this was also the charm to this series. It seemed kind of pure and innocent (even though it wasn’t even that innocent) just some 15 year old boys doing what 15 year old boys do and experiencing love on the way. I watched through the entire series quite quickly since it was interesting and entertaining although terribly weird to watch at times.

I would recommend to give it a go.

MAKE IT RIGHT is a mixed bag for me. In general, once the story lines got going a bit, I was more involved, but I found myself skipping through some of the side aspects and not feeling invested in most of the side characters, which for me is not the greatest sign.

I also struggled a bit with the first act of intercourse between Book and Frame. You may consider this to be "spoilerish," but the truth of the matter is it's something that you should know going in, as it could be difficult to see for some (and it tells you nothing about what happens later). While I wasn't triggered by it, and I have heard that the intention was not for it to come across as it did, I can see how it could end up being horribly triggering to others. I was uncomfortable with it, and I wouldn't have kept watching if I didn't know it wasn't the intent (as opposed to in another drama here the intent is for it to be portrayed a particular way).

The music often jerked me out of moments, and this drama used some of the silly little noises at times that always make me feel like I'm watching a cartoon. I was invested in the main two characters, and the acting wasn't terribly poor (though it is possible I just got accustomed to it as episodes went on), but I still didn't fall head over heels for the show. I'll watch the second season, but I'm not sure I'd rewatch this.

Confused and disapointed

I watched Make it Right years ago, and I remember not liking it. I just finished re-watching it and I still don't like it. The acting is cringy and bad, the music is at times too loud and often times unnecessary. There are times when the plot is so slow and boring, there are these extremely long and awkward silent pauses in between lines it makes it hard to watch and makes the episode seem two hours long. I was disappointed to realize I didn't like the main couple together, I didn't they had much chemistry together. Book and Frame were more believable as a couple. I'm confused as to why so many people find this series one of the best in the industry.....

High school boys in super short shorts + Awkward kiss scenes that aren't even shown + A pretty good op song + Sickeningly cute scenes + crude humor + really obvious product placement + One crybaby MC = Make it Right

Overall: To be entirely honest this show wasn't great. That's not to say it wasn't good. It definitely wasn't bad. I've read many comments and reviews of people who loved this show. I'm definitely not saying it's bad overall. However, for me personally I didn't really enjoy it. I almost quit many times but I powered through, and having now finished it I almost wish I hadn't. If you're interested in my personal opinion on why I didn't like it please keep reading for more detail.

Firstly I'll start on the good points:
1.) The opening song is actually pretty good. I even added it to my playlist on spotify.
2.) The two main romances (Tee and Fuse, and Book and Frame) were pretty cute.
3.) I'm sorry I legitimately can't come up with any more good points

Next...the not so good points:
1.) So when I say it had obvious product placement I don't just mean they used the product and the camera focused on it and it was all very obvious. No, I mean like the characters talked about how great it was while using it and it happened so often that it got to the point I felt like I was just watching ads.It would have been better if they'd worked it in more naturally. Hell, the main characters sister basically just existed to work advertisements into the show.
2.) The kiss scenes (if you can call them that) were very awkward. I read that in the comments before watching and thought maybe people were exaggerating, but trust me..they were not.
3.) A lot of the romances seemed forced, and I really couldn't get into them
4.) Some of the characters didn't really seem to have a purpose for the plot. (Yok)
5.) Some of the characters I just genuinely disliked (Tan)
6.) Some major plot points didn't get solved (however I'm hoping season two covers them)
7.) Everything just seemed very immature and it was hard to take any of it seriously
8.) The age thing. They're all supposed to be high schoolers and they'll act like immature stupid teens one minute, and the next they'll be hooking up in hotel rooms. It just felt weird.

I just really couldn't get into this show. I wasn't desperate to find out what would happen next, I didn't cry, I didn't sit on the edge of my seat, etc. There were a couple funny points, but a few laughs was the only reaction this show really got out of me. There were more points in the show that were supposed to be funny that didn't make me laugh however, as they were more suited to someone with crude humor that I do not possess.

In conclusion, I clearly didn't like it but if you don't mind the things I listed then give it a try and decide for yourself I guess. I also want to clarify once again that I don't think this was bad. It just wasn't for me. However I still think that the creators, actors, etc. deserve some kudos for their hard work.

(and shout out to Tincan's actors for being in the same show and their characters never once interacting. *cries*)

Good things first, the first episode you can say that the story is really interesting, the cast is good you can feel that everyone has a unique character so its not boring, I have watched up to episode 6 and so far so good.

The bad things in my own opinion are: the development of the story is quite slow its not a bad pace but there are moments that it makes you feel excited at some point but the scene doesn't meet up with what you feel it ought to be, I don't know maybe its just me but who knows right? another thing is a bit personal for me, subtitles, where are they? haha. Episode 6 is already out but I can't watch it yet since I'm waiting for someone to translate it. It's not a bad thing but I believe Make It Right is reaching countries as far as Europe, so I guess having subs would really boost its ratings.

That's it for now, I'll post another after I watched the entire show, but at this point I really look forward to it and will continue to watch. Hope this helps!

Please be reminded that I haven't watched the entire series just up to the latest one and this review only covers the half of it (since there are 12 episodes). The purpose of this review is for what to expect, I will edit this on the future after the season finale. Thanks for understanding and reading.

TIME AND PATIENCE IS KEY FOR WATCHING THIS BL DRAMA.
This drama is sweet, has a lot of cute pairings and it's kinda enjoyable, considering you can ignore the awkward acting (since most thai bl dramas have noob actors this isn't anything new).
But what I really hated were the kiss scenes, they're hella fake. They hardly even let their lips touch the other person's lips or cheeks. NOPE NOPITY NOPE, VERY DISAPPOINTING.
The side couple outshines the main couple's chemistry but I genuinely hated how they came together (Frame x Book)

There's long stagnant moments that may make you cringe but if liked 'Love Sick The Series', you'll probably like this better. I found myself comparing the two because of the whole school based, multiple pairings and amateur acting, girlfriend cheating, but I prefer this over that any day.
Bonus : they have a lesbian story as well!!

This was, I think, the youngest cast Thai BL I’ve seen so far. Which made some of the more explicit scenes rather uncomfortable to watch, to be honest. But the actors were amazing, that’s true.

Here I’ll probably once again go against the fandom grain, so to speak, because I liked TeeFuse more than FrameBook. FrameBook seems to be, from what I’ve seen here on Tumblr, the pairing of this drama. I don’t know. For me personally, they didn’t click as much as TeeFuse. And Tee in particular.

It’s true that I didn’t like how Tee started his relationship with Fuse. Sure, Fuse verbally agreed to have sex and he was very enthusiastic about the whole thing - but he was also very drunk. There is that. But I liked that Tee owned up to that. He apologized and took full responsibility and got out of Tee’s way, he didn’t try to pursue him further. No, afterwards, it was Fuse who needed to win Tee over again. But there was this minor fact that he had a girlfriend and, well, basically he wanted the cake and eat it too. Which kept hurting Tee a lot. And the actor, Boom Krittapak, played it incredibly well.
