Dangerously Terrible

Dangerous Romance begins with a clever male lead (Sailom) constantly outsmarting the vicious bully (Khang) at school, fostering a growing interest in what is to become of the two characters' dynamic.
Khang traumatizes Sailom's friends and even intends to do the same to Sailom, but it just so happens to be that he saves Sailom from debt collectors. People tend to forget that Khang intended to scare Sailom with an actual gun.
After that, the bully's doings are dismissed because he is just a misunderstood rich boy; we don't get to see any real character development that's fitting.
The danger in Dangerous Romance does not exist until the last few episodes, and it's all over the place.
There is no chemistry between the actors.
There is no need for me to watch the last episode, it will not change my mind on how terrible I think it is.

Insufferably Decent

Only Friends follows an empty plot full of messes and unnecessary reconciliations between the most insufferable characters imaginable. An attempt to portray the different problems LGBTQ+ college students may face, its message remains unclear.
I enjoyed the first few episodes, but my enjoyment declined as it went on. I like to believe the shippers of these pairings ruined the show's initial direction.
These actors deserve more than to be recognized as part of a ship. Khaotung and Mark stole the show with their performances, and Neo proved his versatility as an actor.
A decent GMMTV series, I applaud it for its execution of mature content.

Soulmates

When it first came out I stopped watching after about three episodes because I found it uninteresting. Most BL’s that I see tend to lack true romance, but this one didn’t. I decided to give it a try because someone mentioned the love between the two characters in this was so real. And it is true, this shows depicts a beautiful romance that rarely has the chance to be seen in other BLs. It is not only about two people falling in love, but about two soulmates finding each other. And the love between soulmates is certainly incomparable to the other.

The acting was not the greatest, but it was good! Sometimes a bit over the top and sometimes it didn’t deliver, but when it wasn’t either it was very good and I enjoyed it. The chemistry between Jimmy (Puen) and Sea (Talay) is also very impressive considering that they were both quite new to GMMTV (and acting) when they filmed.

Despite the many flaws that this series has and the crazy amount of advertisements, it is genuinely enjoyable. I found myself getting attached to the characters (a little too much), and caring about them. The cinematography was also amazing! The attention to detail, the colors, it was very pleasing to the eye.

The main flaw is that the fantasy aspect is very weak. Although, if it were strong I feel the story would have taken a dark turn (like I would have gone insane if the body and universe switching happened to me). I wondered so many things about the fantasy element, and I believe not focusing so heavily on it made it light-hearted lol.

If you want to feel happiness and exist in delusion for a little while, I definitely recommend this. It was gorgeous in that sense.

It made me happy for a moment, and that is a rare occurrence for a show to bring to me.

Would’ve Been A Favorite In 2016

Incredibly boring. I sat through four episodes wondering when it would get better but it never did.

I tried to give it a chance but the acting is very bad and I don’t mind cliche when it’s done right, but it is definitely not done right.

I have been following Joong for a while and he is a very decent actor. I cannot say the same about Dunk. For some reason I can’t bring myself to watch the two of them, I tried watching their other show Star In My Mind, but again, it was lackluster and boring. Their chemistry is extremely off and definitely not swoon worthy.

I would only recommend if you’re looking for something to pass time. Or if you’re a big fan of Jamie (Nita), she’s gorgeous.

Eternal Love

The description and the promotional poster deceive.

A shallow view may be derived from the focus on the romantic aspect.

Love for Love's Sake is sweet, funny, and sometimes a little silly but that is because it is a simulation, it is not real. This depicts the story of an individual without love ultimately finding love from the following sources; friendships, romance, and the self.

This is not a love story, but a story of love.

The consequences of a human being deprived of such a necessity for living never end well. This gives hope that one can be happy, that one can love, that one can be loved--even when it is too late.

A portrayal of the regretful. Regretful, although the mind cannot process a clear thought, indeed it parallels systematic errors, corrupt files, and the broken engine. Fortunately, the regret is eased.

There are moments that are out of place, moments that may bore. Life is redundant, and when life is made fictional, how could it not be peculiar?

If you decide to watch this show I want to ask you: are you ready to be loved?
