Only Boo! (2024)

One of the BEST series ever <3

For those of you who love light hearted shows then this show is THE ONE...

Only boo touches on topics that involve the behind the scenes of idol culture as well as the entertainment industry. They mask the sad topics with Keen's amazing acting as Moo distracting everyone with the comedy aspect. It is also to note that this is one of Sea Talay and Keen's first acting roles and they killed it beyond my expectations. Like I said before, Only Boo has comedic aspects to it that are very obvious in the trailers and pre-eps. What they don't tell you is how emotionally involving this show actually is. Their light hearted and comedic acting makes anyone who watches it fall in love. Watching this show makes you so emotionally involved that whenever they confess their love to each other...it actually makes you cry.

The story line progression is amazing and I am a person who will drop a show if the storyline doesn't go in a straight line. The episodes actually take you step by step into the character's personas and daily lives that it makes it easy to follow. I absolutely appreciate the way that this story starts and ends. It makes you feel as if you've known them since day one.

The characters in the show are also amazing. Starting with Kang and Moo played by Sea Talay and Keen Suvijak. They are honestly the best pair ever. They love and respect each other mutually making them the sweetest pair to date. I love they way their dynamic is presented to us, the ultimate golden retriever and black cat energy. Their ups and downs being navigated together as characters showing us that it is easy to love each other regardless of gender. We'll move onto Potae and Payos played by Aun and Ashi. They are the problem couple. Their dynamic was within the misunderstanding troupe. I usually don't like that as it absolutely boils my blood by how easy they can solve the situation. However, with Aun and Ashi's acting? It made me so emotional that I had no time to get mad. Last are the side characters Jang, Shone, and Neth played by Louis, Book, and Milk. Honestly, they played their roles so well I actually grew to resent Shone, fall for Jang, and smile whenever Neth showed up. The perfect side characters. They really made the show more enjoyable than it already was.

The ost and cinematography was perfect. The ost was so light hearted and enjoyable that I didn't skip over the intro. I watched this show a few months ago and I'm still listening to the songs daily. The cinematography really knows how to set the mood, changing the light and atmosphere every time something different happens.

Overall, this is one of the contenders of perfect 10/10 series in my list. I loved this so much, the concept, the music, the fx, the cast, the acting, e.t.c. I love this cast and so should you in my opinion. I hope to see Sea Talay and Keen in another gmmtv series next year!

You would be pleasantly surprised by the level of intimacy in this BL

I highly enjoyed this series. Such an all around feel good, teeth achingly sweet and romantic BL!

Moo is hands down one of my favorite BL characters ever. He's so adorable, annoying in a lovable way, cheeky, funny, cute, a sly fox, and has so many more traits. I just loved his character so much. He definitely brought the best and biggest energy to this show. I really like how well Moo was written. His straighforward, slightly (more like very) awkward/unskilled but sincere method of flirting with Kang was so fun to watch. I liked that his woo-ing attempts did not come across as creepy or too much, I was always happy watching his antics and seeing how Kang would react to him.

Speaking of Kang, one of the greenest flags ever. His character is a lot more toned down in terms of energy and personality but he was also a great character to watch. He's the mature and reasonable one in the relationship, he's more stoic in the beginning and is your classic tsundere who speaks in harsh ways but turns around and smiles to himself when no one's looking. As his relationship with Moo started growing, I loved seeing him open up more and flirt back with Moo and watching him be more expressive. The dynamic between Moo and Kang was refreshing. I loved that Moo, being the younger one, was the chaser constantly approaching Kang and trying to woo him,; while Kang, the older one, was shy and flustered by Moo's directness. Ugh, so fun!

The plot was very well executed, pacing was really well done (i loved the use of time skips), and the writing was great too. Acting overall was great too, most of the cast seem to be new to the industry but they all did amazing jobs. There's a fair bit of angst and emotionally heavy scenes towards the end that were so well acted, so kudos to the cast for that.

I also really loved the 2nd male lead pairing!! Classic best friends to lovers trope which was also well done.

Although the NC scenes in this series is on the mild scale, you get a lot of intimacy from both couples so i was extremely satisfied with the pairings and their romance. There's awkward kisses, but it came across as sweet to me because it felt like it was part of the plot given the lack of experience the characters had before each other.

Anyway overall, a really good series. You get a funny, feel good, perfectly paced plotline with no time wasted on unecessary scenes, two adorable, intimate and uber romantic couples with abundant chemistry, and a GREAT OST packaged in a 12 episode series. Definitely recommend!

Unexpectedly good!

I started this on a whim: I had nothing to watch, I wanted to watch a bl and this one had just finished airing so I decided to give it a go! If I had to decide whether to watch this based on the poster(comedy! urgh!) and the synopsis(school bl? urgh), I never would have started this. And I would have missed this little gem.

-What made this series extraordinary are the two main actors: Sea and Keen. While Keen is, just like his name suggests, keen, cheerful, happy go lucky and sweet and charming young man, I fell under the spell of Sea: his speaking voice, his solid acting and his sweetness. They are young but they are giving Gemini and First run for the money. I am eagerly waiting for their next project, together or separately, I don't care, I want to watch them in something else. Soon! In any case they are very much at ease with each other, and are not afraid to kiss in spite of their young age. Do not miss the bonus scenes at the end of the last episodes where they show us interrupted kisses from the drama uninterrupted: too cute! Speaking of which, there is the best accidental kiss I have ever seen in the first episode: cute and hilarious.

The plot is full of clichés but they are done so well, I did not mind them. The spoiled brat with a heart of gold, the struggling and suffering artist and cook with a heart of gold. Girl best friend with a heart of gold, encouraging the young men. The odd second couple. The cousin falling for the cook....In a way this reminds me of japanese dramas where everyone is nice and kind and open and even the apparently bad characters turn out to be nice. Actually, after the first episode, I was a bit worried at how they are going to stretch the thin plot over 12 episodes. Frankly they did a great job, not wasting too much time on repetitions, flashbacks and pointless subplots. There was not a dull moment!

They did away with annoying screaming trans characters which was one of the reasons why I enjoyed this so much. They also used a lot of sfx (lightning, hearts etc) and sound effects, which I usually hate with all my might. Here those did not bother me once. I am still reeling from the realization! LOL

I am very difficult when humour is concerned (slapstick and cring are to be avoided!) and here I was served the sweetest kind of funny with a minimal, barely perceptible cringe. Music on the other hand was a disappointment: it was the usual generic funky thai bl songs, which sound the same as every other thai bl song with a catchy tune and the passages a capella and eventually unremarkable.

This little drama is a perfect summer watch; sunny, fun, with some lovely acting, decent chemistry and solid writing. Don't expect to be shaken by this drama but it is a perfect blend of funny, fluffy and cute. Thank you for this nice surprise GMMTV.
