Make It Right: The Series (2016)

Decided to watch this series because of Ohm, who is my favourite BL actor at the moment! I absolutely LOVED him in He's Coming To Me. When I learned that his first series was also a BL, I had to watch it! On a side note, he plays BL roles a lot! He's Coming To Me, Make It Right and its sequel and Dew The Movie. Hopefully, at GMMTV, he will be given a BL pairing that will bring him the success and fame and he deserves! I was kinda bored halfway through Episode 2 as the main character, Fuse, didn't interest me. I decided to just watch the FrameBook (OhmToey) cut on YouTube instead as Ohm is the only reason why I decided to watch this show in the first place.

Although I love that BL's focus on university students (being a university student myself), it's nice seeing one with high school students for a change. But damn Frame is a hoe! I have yet to see a BL role with someone as sexually promiscuous as Frame, which is refreshing for a change. I loved his relationship with Book though! It's sooooo CUTE!!!!!!

It is pretty cool seeing how Ohm's acting has improved over the years. In this series, which is his acting debut, I felt that he was trying too hard though. On a side note, the rape did feel out of character for Frame though, especially since he did care for Book like taking him to the hospital because he was bleeding. That's not what someone who forces himself on others would do.

This was the very first BL I watched. I.have watched it a few times since. It is set in a high school.The average age.of the characters is 15-16. Many people prefer the secondary couple.of Frame and Book to the main couple of Tee and Fuse. I was not happy that both couples started their relationships through rape. Tee is openly gay but Fuse is currently in a relationship.with a girl, but starts to develop feelings for Tee and.is confused by them. They go through the usual process of Fuse seeing both.of them and trying to figure out who he truly wants.to be with. His girlfriend is cheating on him. Book is gay,but is still somewhat in the closet. He is traumatized by his ex boyfriend.filming them having sex in what appears to be a stairwell and is frightened that he will release it on the internet. When the video does somehow get out Book tries to kill himself. They way Frame stands by him and supports him is what makes them alot of fans favorite couple.

PISSED ME OFF but low key fine *chef's kiss*

Story
The story line I think was a little shaky. I couldn't really understand why he DIDN'T break up with his girlfriend but ok. The part I did love was that although Book and Frame's relationship started with s@x it wasn't all about it. I can appreciate that much.

Acting/Cast
Ok the cast especially Ohm were all great. Only sometimes I felt that the acting from Tee and Fuse well their relationship was a bit off. The acting from FrameBook was great their chemistry *muah*.

Music
The OST is bomb I watched the little edit with it as well and it was great too. The tune just reminds me of everything they have been through.

Overall
Personally season two is better for me but..... you need to watch season one to watch season two. It frustrates me because they don't just kiss and make up in the first 10 minutes!!!!!

I'm not that young anymore and I must say I felt like a pedophile watching this young (sometimes naked) boys loving each other. So why did I watch it? I felt embarrassed many times. I watched it because the actor who played Tee was GREAT. How that boy was able to communicate every emotion just with his gazes, his eyes, is beyond me. A true talent, I must say.

The story itself is weak. The boys lack personality. There are some background stories going on but even after watching two seasons I don't know much about the characters. It's only cute boys being in love and having some never ending problems. What surprised me the most (maybe it's the fault of the translation), but they did some soft and very cute kisses (my heart skipped a beat), it looks all innocent and beautiful and the actors are pretty young too. But then they talk about sex in a way ... I don't know. I somehow coudn't imagine this young boys "doing it" with each other. And it's better I ddin't imagine it! It just felt a bit out of place for me. Not so much for other couples, but Tee and Fuse ... it was strange.

Overall this series made some butterflies in my stomach flying around like crazy and that doesn't happen often. So I have to give it a good rating. I'm pretty sure I will not watch such boys love series in the future ever again. I really liked it somehow, but I know I'm too old for this.

Just couldn't continue after the Rape scene

Maybe the cast's acting was great, maybe the story was great, maybe the dynamics were well executed... I don't know, I don't remember, and I don't care.

The rape scene overshadowed all of it. And i just couldn't watch anything further from it. Dropped it.

And since the character count needs to be atleast 500 words, here's what Wikipedia has to say about Date Rape:
***
The term "date rape" is used to refer to several types of rape, broadly acquaintance rape, which is a non-domestic rape committed by someone who knows the victim,[1] and drug facilitated sexual assault (DFSA), where the rapist intentionally drugs the victim with a date rape drug so that they are incapacitated. Acquaintance rape constitutes the vast majority of reported rapes, while DFSA is infrequent. A frequently overlapping category is incapacitated rape, where the victim is incapacitated and unable to give consent – this is often the result of intoxication, but can also simply be because the victim is asleep or has a medical condition. DFSA is when the rapist intentionally incapacitates the victim via drugs, while acquaintance rape can occur when the victim is not incapacitated.

Acquaintance rape can occur between two people who know one another usually in social situations, between people who are dating as a couple and have had consensual sex in the past, between two people who are starting to date, between people who are just friends, and between acquaintances. They include rapes of co-workers, schoolmates, family, friends, teachers and other acquaintances, providing they are dating;[2] it is sometimes referred to as "hidden rape" and has been identified as a growing problem in western society.[3] A college survey conducted by the United States' National Victim Center reported that one in four college women have been raped or experienced attempted rape.[4] This report indicates that young women are at considerable risk of becoming a victim of date rape while in college. In addition, there have been reported incidents of colleges questioning accounts of alleged victims, further complicating documentation and policing of student assaults, despite such preventive legislation as the Clery Act.[5][6]
