Better than I expected
maybe because I don't have any expectations for this series, but this series is better than I thought. actually it's hard to find anything special from the storytelling of TonhonChonlatee (TH), one of the bad things about this series is the visuals, which I can say are the worst of GMMTV this year, and the music scoring, which mostly lowered the tension. But TH has one of the best character writing this year, that feels so loveable, and of course the acting performance of the cast, especially the khaotung who put on his best acting so far.Cet avis était-il utile?

had potential
i was really excited to watch this because it has some of my favorite bl actors, and while the acting is pretty good, the writing is awful. tonhon is an awful, irredeemable person, he's so homophobic and oblivious. the stuff with his dad wasn't in the book so i don't know why they added it, it doesn't add anything to the story. ai and ni pretty cute, but the scene where they forced chon to come out to them was shitty. and it doesn't make sense that ton didn't know they were dating like he did in the book. it could have been a cute story about childhood friends to lovers, but it ends up as an awful hot mess.Cet avis était-il utile?

The pacing was terrible!
This BL is generic with the usual university and ex-girlfriend scenario. The issue I found with this show is the pacing. The build-up to this event is so prolonged that there is not enough episodes to explain and fully grasp the event. All of this drama being built up isn't suited for how many episodes this BL has. Ton's homophobia in this BL doesn't bother me, but the way they addressed it. Tonhon's character development was thought out poorly and the novel doesn't even contain that. If the character was going to portray this idea, at least not have it rushed at the end without any consequences. He didn't even apologize for his homophobia but brushed it off because Ai and Ni are his bestfriends. The only visual thing that showed that ton was changing his ways was the beach scene. I get that they tried to make it realistic, but execute it right.Ton's homophobic actions shouldn't last half of the series then to have another arc of him realizing his feelings. We are on the last episode and he is still telling people they are actually dating. Where is the couple arc? Where is the relaxing? The acting/cast was great, but that can't substitute bad writing.

Started out good!
This is a show that starts out with a few good episodes and quickly goes downhill from there.The script is a mess, the stereotypes are mixed up, the premise is not believable, and the side actors are mostly annoying.
I watched this all the way through, but it was really a waste of time after the first few episodes. I have seen worse, the only thing this show had going for it was there were no screeching, hysterical side characters. I think if the script had been better written, perhaps the actors could have had something to work with, but the script is bad, nothing else works.
I don't recommend a first watch of this one, let alone a rewatch. So sad.

Serious social commentary wrapped in comedy wrapped in lakorn
Did all the reviewers panning this for depictions of bad behaviour fail to realise how many of them were called out, whether in the dialogue, reactions, context or consequences? Sometimes the call outs were gentle, like Chon's maa telling him something he did was wrong, sometimes they were bold, like Chon's maa in the last episode. Always appropriate to the context.It's a clear critique of toxic masculinity in several forms, including misogyny, objectification, peer pressure, outdated attitudes and of course homophobia. It's full of good messages and positive examples too.
This deserves to be watched with more attention than most here seem to have given it, including those who see it only as light-hearted fluff. It's laugh out loud funny, with the warm, open-hearted generosity of Thailand's best comedy, but it's also delivering some important messages.

It did not try hard... and that is okay.
I feel like your liking of this drama is going to depend on what other dramas you have previously seen.TC was a very simple drama with nothing too crazy to find unique or memorable. However, because I have seen other dramas that have failed due to intricate stories with confusing writing and plenty of plot holes, the simplicity of this one was appreciated.
~ Story:
Simple and clear. Anyone could write a story like this, but that doesn't make it bad. I found myself enjoying it a lot more thanks to that specific fact. The writing was decent, the pacing was decent, there was not too much going on focusing mostly on the most relevant and necessary parts of the story for a clear understanding of the events. Honestly, you're not going to find a drama that's clearer to understand than this one.
~Cast:
Decent. I feel like all these actor learned in the same acting school because I don't know how many times I've seen the exact same reactions.
Tonhon/Chonlatee: I liked them. They both had good chemistry and most of their acting came out somewhat natural. I think Khao did better than Pod, but it was them together what made their best moments.
Ai/Ni: Good support couple. They came directly from 2gether, so their chemistry was the best of the entire drama. What I like the most about this series is that these support couples had enough screen time but no separate plot. Their story was just part of the same main plot, which made it more coherent with everything else. Toptap is the love of my life and seeing him on screen fills me with joy. He needs a lead role, y'all.
Female characters were actually really good too. I like that their place within the story was solid and didn't shake even at the end. They remained strong throughout the whole thing.
~Final episode:
Probably the worst thing about this drama. It was so terribly cliche that I had to stop watching for a while because I couldn't take the cringe of it all. Tonhon's father is such a terrible actor that almost gave me nausea.
All in all, this is a decent drama. If you're looking for a very simple, low budget, and cute story with equal levels of fanservice and plot, then this is totally for you.

Consitpation
Looking for something where they ravage each other and provide sexual content? TURN BACK! Looking for something with an amazing storyline/plot? LEAVE NOW! Looking for something so cheesy you'll get constipated af? LOOK NO FURTHER!As an experienced BL fan I've seen it all...the good, bad and ugly. It wasn't necessarily "bad" I think the cheesiness and the rush of suddenly everything going in every direction it shouldn't, is mind blowing. It has it's cute and funny moments of course and there's sweetness with sadness. It had potential but I don't feel the MC had good chemistry. I wouldn't recommend for someone starting into the BL World but I guess it's decent enough to watch. I actually liked it more in the beginning then suddenly it went into the abyss then came back up but shot to the stars and crashed landed in a black hole. The ending tho is...satisfying?
To each their own....

Bad Direction supported by an equally bad Script
Coming to the story, it's nothing that we haven't seen before but at the same time it was presented badly.There are so many flaws and plot holes in the series that you just plan to drop it.
The best character I liked in the series and at the same time the best acting in the series is "Na".
Before the last few episodes, there was no homosexual backstory to support the lead which puts on a lot of weight on the series and crashes it.
They have tried to make it comedy by showing dumbness but it goes to the point that it's overbearing.
The Main Leads acting is just okish, I blame direction for it. The scenes in the club, the dance, and the facial expressions are a bit too much for this fantasy series.
Multiple times it felt like the leads were harassing each other, which makes it a bit toxic which at the same time doesn't matches with the series.
Most of the side stories are not completed which creates more plot holes.
Overall this series is just over the top.

NÃO É HORROROSO MAS TAMBÉM NÃO É BOM
O começo dessa série é muito promissor com cenas coerentes e engraçadas mas se perdeu rapidamente.Chonlatee é apaixonado por seu melhor amigo Tonhon mas ele supostamente é hétero então isso acaba levando a situações que vão fazer Tonhon perceber que ama o melhor amigo.
O desenvolvimento é fraco e tem muita interferência de terceiros o que acaba sendo desgastante de assistir e o triângulo amoroso (que eu odeio com todas as minhas forças) é patético.
Os personagens coadjuvantes fazem um ótimo trabalho no quesito humor mas exageram um pouco o que acaba deixando a trama um pouco superficial em contraste com o casal principal.
No finalzinho eles ficam juntos e tem umas cenas românticas bem ok mas eu não sinto que ele tenham a intimidade de um casal de verdade e deixou muito a desejar no quesito fan service (mal tem um selinho).

Um BL para assistir quando não quiser refletir demais e estiver buscando algo leve e divertido.
Eu amei esse BL. Comecei com expectativas baixas devido aos diversos comentários negativos, mas fiquei surpreso com a série. É um bl fofo de amigos que evoluem para namorados. A história é divertida, os dramas são bem dosados e temos uma ótima atuação de todos os atores.Existem alguns eventos cômicos no BL, a exemplo dos minutos iniciais do ep1 em que temos quase uma batalha por sexo (?) kkk
Particularmente, eu fiquei preso na história. Queria saber se ficariam juntos, qual seria a reação do Ton ao descobrir os sentimentos do Chon.
É tbm um bl de coabitação - eu amo esse tipo de bl.
Enfim, assistam de mente aberta e tirem suas próprias conclusões.

BL yg cukup unik
Saat melihat postingan di tiktok dan fb aku kira ini bakal menjadi bl yg bagus dan menarik, tapi nyatanya begitu. Sepenilaianku, BL ini agak sedikit boring dan over reacting namun tetap bagus ditonton. Secara karakter, aku sangat suka menggambarkan realitas tentang homopobik atau tentang maskulinitas namun secara praktikalnya lumayan. Kek gimana ya,Disini aku suka semua karakter, namun ada beberapa yg agak menjenuhkan disini.
Tonhon : Dia digambarkan sebagai seorang homopobik dan its fine menurutku karena setiap orang berbeda beda pendapat. Namun, aku agak jeleh sama ini karakter kek gimana sih ya, waktu ketemu lagi sama chonlotte. Dia gak ngebolehin dia dekat dekat dengan oranglain kek siapa lo??? Chon berhak bergaul dengan siapapun yg ia suka dan ini yg bikin eneg dan jeleh. Dia tidak berhak ngatur kehidupan oranglain apalagi sampe maksa buat bersetubuh dengan orang yg gak disukai. Gak punya akal emang si tonhon. Sangat berharap lebih baik chon sama si Na.
Chonlatte : dia sebenarnya punya sifat yg bagus, teguh pada pendiriannya, berani nantang orang yg mengolok dirinya, dan baik.walau gitu, dia juga agak bego, kek apa ya dia gak mikirin perasaan si Na. I mean, jangan cuma manfaatin orang demi kepentingan diri kek wth. Terus juga nyium Tonhon pas lagi tidur kek apa ya. Itu bukan hal yg dibenarkan dan jelas itu hal yg salah. Dia juga ngeiyain temennya terus tanpa mikirin ini benar apa kagak.
Pang : Menurutku dia teman paling suportif untuk bff nya. Sayangnya dia juga terlalu oversuportive juga kurang bijak. Waktu Chon ingin ngelupain ton, dia malah ngedorong untuk tetep deket tanpa melihat sisi lain.
Ai, Ni, & Miriam : mereka menurutku karakter yg baik, tapi sama kek pang yg terlalu berlebihan. Ai sama ni juga kek apa yah dah 3 tahun pacaran tapi gak dicurigai oleh ton dan selalu ngeiyain ucapan ton kek gak banget gitu. Apa ya, kalo dia gay ya harus beritahu kalo dia gay apalagi sahabatnya. Mungkin kalo teman biasa ya gak perlu tapi ini sahabat yg bertaun tahun bersama kek wtf.
Yg lain gak perlu dijelasin karena banyak yg mengulas disini dan saya sedikit setuju( ulasan pake bahasa inggris ) . Setiap ulasan pasti ada pro dan kontranya but... Menurutku ini series cukup bagus dan cukup menyenangkan.
Saya rekomendasikan buat kalian yg suka genre dari teman lama yg homopobik yg terpesona dengan cinta lamanya dan bersemi kembali dengan storyline yg lumayan seru.

Fun series to watch
I enjoyed this series a lot ...it has good chemistry and love the side characters. It has many moments that show great development and show how a couple from childhood friends grow to more. I liked how the story shows how the families and the characters grow to understand one another. The only real down part for me was the ending with the family forcing for a child. To me, that was a bit messed up. There were lots of funny moments and sad moments. Jealousy and lies but love and acceptance at the end. Overall a sweet series.Cet avis était-il utile?
