Enchante

This harem series really was difficult to get through.

Plot: Theo moves back to Thailand after his grandma dies. He is reunited with his childhood friend Akk. The two spend the beginning of the show rekindling their relationship. Theo can be seen as a spoiled brat who pretty much is bored with his life in Thailand and decides to spice it up in the library by writing in a French book, Enchante, that he is looking for someone essentially to entertain him. As the series progresses, we see that Akk clearly likes Theo but won't say anything. Surprise! Someone responds to Theo's message in the book and now the rest of the show is dedicated to Theo trying to find out who the "Enchante" is. Akk wanting to help Theo, posts flyers all over the school asking Enchante to reveal himself. We get 4 guys who all happen to be the schools mascots? Like they are the lead boys in their departments. We soon find out that all of these guys approach Theo pretending to be Enchante; however, they are all wanting to use Theo for something: one wants to receive a scholarship, another wants to have a place to display their artwork, and another wants to repay their debt from money they stole. Meanwhile, Akk continues to follow Theo around trying to help him unveil who Enchante is. Surprise, again! This time, it is revealed that Theo is Enchante, and has been orchestrating this elaborate plan just to get Akk to notice him. From there all is good, except Theo's parents are getting a divorce, and this adult man cannot rectify that his parents have fallen out of love with one another. He runs away and moves to France to be with his mom who randomly decided she was going to live in France after the divorce. Then while in France, he notices a figure stalking him and it happens to be Akk who ran away to France to find him.

Cons:
Does the plot sound convoluted? It really wasn't. Basically, as others have mentioned Theo is a spoiled brat who really was shitty for putting everyone through that. What was his motive? He let 3 men use him all for? To get Akk jealous? Akk, also admits that he knew it was Theo all along...well then why did you drag that on for 8 episodes. The drama itself was quite boring and unfortunately there was no chemistry between the two actors. There were a lot of fan-servicing scenes. I think if you were a straight female, you might be interested in this, but clearly this drama wasn't written to expand LGBTQ+ repertoire and tell a story that would mimic reality. Which is fine. Not everything has to be realistic. It just was that Notice-Me-Senpai-Theo getting upset at his parent's divorce was a bit childish.

Pros:
I will say that I enjoyed the title song. It is charming.

Overall: I would skip this one. It doesn't really add anything to the plate. Also, GMMTV dramas are becoming more and more formulaic:
Episodes 1-2: Exposition on the characters and basic plot premise.
Episodes 3-6: We try to solve one of the problems presented in the first two episodes. Also, one of the characters starts to fall for the other.
Episodes 7-8: The other character starts to awaken and realize they too like the other character. By episode 8 they are together.
Episodes 9-11: We get another problem that now our main characters must overcome together as a couple. This could be a parent who is against their gay relationship, in this case it was a divorce. But by episode 11, the characters have either overcome their problem, or they have to separate.
Final Episode 12: The couples end up reunited by their separation and end up together living happily ever after.

This kind of formula means that no matter what the plot is, the story is the same. The setting is different. This makes boring stories.
