Why R U? : The Series (2020)

In my opinion, one of the best Thai BL series of 2020. The quartet of main characters aged 28, 25, 22 and 20 with carefully coiffed affines played a game under the guidance of the creators, which is not quite the usual format for this kind of series. Tutor with his girlish face and some marigold smiles (in a good way), the infectiously attractive Fighter, the tall Saifah and the tiny Zon. When monvi writes here that he "looked at Thai guys", I would add - Day was very nice to me (I put him in Pictures, he's second from the top).
The school was suppressed a lot in the first episodes and disappeared in the second phase, more eroticism came to the fore in the final episodes, the audience will enjoy it mainly with the Tutor-Figther duo, which after many series, when after a long wait at the end you will see max. or not even here, there is a shift.
Everything was top notch, especially the music and processing, the camera, the editing, the artistic aspect, you can also enjoy the Thai beaches and islands.
If you don't need all the BL series and choose only the best pieces, don't put one review on here, which is rather discouraging with its below-average rating, and I recommend this series to you.


Dle mě jeden z nejlepších thajských BL seriálů roku 2020. Kvarteto hlavních hrdinů v civilním věku 28,25,22 a 20 let s pečlivě načesanými afinkami rozehrálo pod vedením tvůrců partii, která není zcela běžným formátem tohoto druhu seriálů. Tutor se svou dívčí tvářičkou a s některými úsměvy jak měsíček na hnoji (v dobrém), nakažlivě přitažlivý Fighter, dlouhán Saifah a maličký Zon. Když tady monvi píše, že se "zhlídnul v thajských klucích", tak já bych doplnil - pro mě byl moc sympatický Day (dal jsem ho do Obrázků, je druhý seshora).
Škola byla hodně potlačena v prvních dílech a v druhé fázi vymizela, do popředí se protlačila větší erotičnost v závěrečných dílech, diváci si ji užijí hlavně u dvojice Tutor-Figther, což po mnoha seriálech, kdy po dlouhém čekání na konci uvidíte max. pusinku a nebo ani tu ne, je posun.
Vše bylo na výši, především hudba a zpracování, kamera, střih, výtvarná stránka, užít si můžete i thajských pláží a ostrůvků.
Kdo zrovna nemusí všechny BL seriály a vybírá si jen nejlepší kousky, nedejte na zdejší jednu recenzi, která svým podprůměrným ohodnocením spíše odradí a za mě Vám tento seriál doporučuji.

Its so beautiful and fantastic!

I really loved it the chemistry of Fightertutor is great and the acting is aswell. Also i am a bit dissapointed that there arent any kiss scenes of Saifahzon but i accept it cuz its of corona and i am gonna watch Saifahzon storyline soon. I really want too rewatch again i dont regret watching it. Also the Fightertutor scenes were so nice! I loved it! Only the storyline i didnt like that much because Zon was all thinking they were in a novel but it wasnt true right. I loved how saint acted in this drama because the cry scenes were amazing and he didnt look like he forced too cry. Also the kiss scenes were amazing like holy man. But only i want more of the side couples yes, I really recommend this too BL fans because it is amazing. And i enjoyed it so much too watch it! ~Review from Mildy

If you're into fast paced Romance plot, add this to your watch list

There are PROS AND CONS for this series and I'm just going to make my review about this short. Basically, there are 2 main couples here and I actually love both of their chemistry.

For the pros, the acting is actually good, most especially on the characters Fighter and Tutor. They are not holding back especially on their hot and steamy scenes. For Zon and Sai Fah, it's also good but for me there were times that Zon was pretty stiff in some of the scenes though it's still good because Zon and Sai Fah are the cute couple in the series and I find their scenes to be sweet, funny and not overly cringey.

The pacing is also okay since the romance development for this series is fast in order to not bore the viewers or watchers.

For the OST and PRODUCTION, it's actually good eventhough the series had faced problems in filming especially in the last episodes that's why there were lesser scenes of Zon and Sai Fah and the series mostly focused on Fighter and Tutor because of the pandemic.

For the Cons of this series, I mostly had issues with Fighter and Tutor's relationship. They were actually my fave couple in the beginning and I love their sassyness when they flirted with each other. Basically, they were the hot couple in the series and their steamy scenes are really good. Props to them for their acting and for not holding back. Anyway, what I didn't like was how vague Fighter was like he had to ask Tutor a couple of times for confirmation if he really did have feelings for him. Like seriously bro, you kissed him a lot of times and you were still unsure?? ***sigh*** Well, in the end, I'm glad they faced their issues and they ended up together.

Another cons for me for this series is the fact that there were a lot of shipping or fetishizers?? (is that even a word lol) for gay relationships. Not to mention the excessive fan service were actually a bit cringey for me. Although, it was part of the plot. It's still uncomfortable especially Zon's sister who basically used his brother's name as well as his brother's friends in a Y novel without permission. Yes, the purpose for this was for comedy but yeah. Enough of the series of having a lot of fujoshis shipping real people.

Lastly, there were characters and moments that I actually find to be unecessary in the series. I don't get why they had to add some side couples or more characters in the series and I actually find it to be too much because they litterally had little screen time. Furthermore, the ending is rushed and there were lacking scenes of Saifah and Zon but I understand since the filming had some changes because of the pandemic. The production team did film a separate story for Saifah and Zon, so you might as well check that one out too if you're a fan for this couple.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a series which provides hot and steamy scenes as well as cute, funny and sweet moments, you can add this in your watch list. There are good moments as well as bad moments that might not sit well with you but it entirely depends on the watcher or the viewer. This series is still a good watch for me, the premise is not unique because it's common but you can still be entertained in watching it... :)

I liked the character development between the characters. You saw Saifah and Zon who used to hate each other and ended up dating and getting comfortable with each other. In the multiple scenes where they could've kissed and didn't was done SO well. You saw how Zon didn't want to kiss and Saifah actually pulled him away and didn't force Zon to kiss him. Which I thought was done well because Saifah respected that Zon didn't want to kiss him and pulled away. Another thing is how you saw Zon getting comfortable around Saifah. After they were both gonna be in the music show thing you saw them develop the friendship even more. I also liked the fact of how you saw Saifah patiently waiting for Zon. He didn't immediately go after him. Most of the times were just him teasing Zon, he didn't exactly hit on Zon. (From what I saw)
Also, the thing about the novel. I found it uncomfortable how Zol wrote a fanfiction with her BROTHER in it. Like If I were Zon I would grab her laptop and delete that crap. Not make a promise with her! I just found it uncomfortable about how Zon's own sister would make a fanfiction of him and Saifah. They could've made a different approach in my opinion.
I can't wait for the special episodes of Saifah and Zon. Due to COVID 19 some scenes weren't filmed in time so they have to wait until this passes over.

For P'Fight and Tutor one thing I didn't like is how Fighter randomly kissed Tutor. You saw in the series how Fighter actually liked Tutor but, if he didn't like Tutor he would be leading him on and breaking his heart. But luckily Fighter liked Tutor and they became a couple. One bad thing is dad's drama. I don't think it would actually be done that quickly. The dad's drama just felt like a filler.
I also LOVE how they didn't use the stereotype where there are a soft weak bottom and a dominant top. If they didn't have those scenes I honestly wouldn't be able to tell whos top and whos bottom. That's one of the things I really love about these 2. Also from what I noticed they had a healthy relationship which was good.
Other than that Tutor and Fighter had really good chemistry and I love how Fighter took care of Tutor.

There are downsides to this series but other than that I really loved this series.

SaintZee

The story is a bit messy with too many side CP but Boy oh Boy Saint Zee.

P'Fight & Tor story line & chemistry by itself is enough to carry the whole drama.
Saifah & Zon are great and everything but chemistry wise, I haven't seen ever in any drama bl and not such a strong chemistry similar as P'Fight & Tor.
Some people are either stupid or too young to understand that their story line isn't just good bc of the amount of skinship but that the amount of skinship is rooted in the strong desire they had for each other and force themselves to burry deep down.
Spoiler
A lot of people didn't notice that Tutor actually also had an interest in Fighter but it is there., specially in the flashback where Fighter bought a bottle for Tutor, the look in Tutor eyes, the teasing, the disappointment when the guy drink the water destined for him. Also Hwahwa is best girl, specially in the way she later accept their relationship.
I love the toxic free yet still facing hardships yet still relatable story lines.

Bad points:
I honestly found myself fast forwarding a lot when SaintZee weren't on screen. Also the drama is very self aware, some of the clichés & moment of the side cp are still burdening the story line which is already messy enough on its own.

Story - 9/10
The Fighter and Tutor relationship almost describes a real gay couple. Fought for the one you love and prove that they are wrong. Sex scenes are just over exaggerated that is why the story of this series did not make a perfect score from me.l I like when they include a real gay here, he is one of the best support character in this genre he really fight with his friend, FOR HIS FRIEND. The idea of they are inside a novel was really great it's unique. At the first half of the series SaifahZon got their shot but they should have more exposure. The story is fading till the end, but there is a reason for that they lack of school scenes because of the virus because they aren't aware that this will come. They don't create a perfect series but they make a better series than GMMTV. The shade argh.

Acting/ Cast - 9/10
Mi2 and SaintZee was really good. I like Mi2 than SaintZee because they are cute and there were no barrier on their relationship on the series but if you like more intense and real relationship SaintZee is a fit for you. At first i thought that this series is a jackpot because Saint came from a really successful series and he really step up from Pete to Tutor real quick he gives some thrill on his character.

Music - 9/10
How they put the music was really great and OST was really really great there's nothing i can say more of how good the music.

Rewatch Value - 9/10
This series is really good better to rewatch with one go because the plot is not one use only unlike TharnType with really great plot but you will never surprised again.

A love story to all BL’s

This show was a huge surprise to me, the premise seems silly at first but once you start watching if you love BL series you will see that this is an homage or love letter to the BL community.

It has so many nods to classic series like Sotus and even cameos from Tharntype.

The 2 main lead couples are fantastic and the actors are brilliant in the roles showing great acting and commitment to the scenes that sometimes are truly deep.

First couple Tutor and Fighter is a BL dream come true, first of all they really went all in to portray these characters giving them so many layers, passion and chemistry. Saint proves once again that he is one of the top actors in BL.

Second couple Saifah and Zon are beyond adorable and these two actors Tommy and Jimmy aka Mii2 have a great future in BL with already several projects in the works.

Overall the show is filled with beautiful moments and great iconic romantic settings.

The only thing is that you can see that many of the secondary characters had to be left behind due to the pandemic, but the show manage to give us amazing stand alone episodes of the main couples.

If you love BL series you would find this a truly amazing joy ride. Is not super serious and has a lot of funny moments.

Highly recommended.

I enjoyed every bit of this drama ... One of the best BLs ever made <3

What led me to watch this drama is a clip I came across on YouTube. I didn't think there were Asian BL series with actors openly kissing and bed scenes.

I enjoyed every bit of this show. I would have loved to watch love stories of the other couples, but I'm quite content with the two. It's true the storyline was all over the place but these two couples made it worth it. It's a good thing it's only 13 episodes.

The best thing is it's fast moving, it doesn't drag at all, and makes you look forward to the next episode.

Fighter and Tutor make the best couple. You would see the chemistry between them just from the way they would stare at each other. Oh and I loved the kiss and bed scene but most of all, I loved the kiss between Saifah and Zon in the last episode. It was worth the wait *wink wink*

I would watch it again and again, tbh. There are some scenes I would skip but compared to all the series I have watched, I would watch almost all the episodes.

Enemies to lovers, and much more.

OK first of all, let me tell you that this show got some delays in production because of COVID-19 and it kind of derail a little bit the story at the end but, overall it got the job done, so if you are interested in watching this show... watch it it’s really worth it and it’s satisfying to watch until the very end. And I think it’s much needed after this whole Covid thing that we’ve been going through. Now to the review:

The story it’s great, but it suffers due to bad execution. I don’t think the problems with the show where actually with the story itself, the problems I found where problems with production because I think they had a really good story laid out but because of the problems I mentioned before due to Covid, I think they weren’t able to trace the story as neatly as they could have. I could see that there were some parts that were cut and some parts were pieced together in like the last four or five episodes, I think in the middle there were some *moments* were left in the cutting board and I think that really hurt the story of secondary characters but, from beginning to end the story actually develops itself, sometimes rather quickly sometimes with a slow pace but, I always wanted to watch what was gonna happen next. And so will you.

OK this is a good one, the actors they were ALL GREAT, even the female actors and I usually don’t like the female actors especially if it’s a BL story I mean I just wanna watch the cute guys fall in love LOL. But these girls (Zol’s actress and Hwa’s actress) were killing it in every scene they were in. They were funny, they were interesting, they were amazing. Now, I had a problem with Zon’s actor, I don’t know why but I did not like him I mean I found him to be kind of all over the place, he made faces reacting to some things that I don’t think were right for the moments that were happening. I think Saint (Tutor’s actor, I love hiiiiim soo much) has been working on his acting a lot since his previous BL, Love by Chance, but I think that he is still trying to figure out how to cry properly in different characters, every time he was crying (maybe it was just my view of it) but I sense he was holding back a little and like trying to figure out what to do with his face a lot, but it didn’t happen all the time.

Favorites: Tutor, Fighter, Japan, Tanthai, Soda and Zen (he deserved more screentime (╥_╥) )

I really like the opening, I don’t usually like them but I actually really like this one. I don’t know why they changed it towards the middle of the show, I was like “I’m just getting used to this opening and you’re going to change it on me all of a sudden”, I don’t get that, and the rest of the music I didn’t really care for it.

I will definitely watch again in a couple months, when it’s not so fresh in my memory.

This is still cute despite visible flaws

The series is cute and lovable and the cinematography is very beautiful. The problem is the cast because some of supporting characters are still unrecognizable to me. I was still confused who is who, I only know Saint, Zee, Tommy, Jimmy, Perth and Goy. The rest, forgettable. I was really turned off everytime where there are scenes with many cringy sound effects. The production to this series in terms of effects is overdone. The last few episodes kinda turn me down but still good at the end. The soundtrack is beautiful. Story-wise, not the most concrete but still good to follow

I’m going make this simple

I can see why this is one of top BLs. I mean, it has all the qualities. Fluff, smut, parent issues, beach scene, BL fan girl you can relate to, cute characters/cast- you name it
I would 100% recommend this to watch. Although the casting could be better and I felt it was a tad confusing, the storyline was very sweet, the acting made me swoon, and so did the tension. Between Zon and Saifah, I felt like the smut scene was very forced... And why were they always going on a vacation?
Still, sweet beginning, a sweet end, and I throughly enjoyed watching it ?? also I’m attracted to most of the characters. Tutor just swept me away lol
I watched this on YouTube FYI so please go see for yourself! It’s worth it

the acting skills is magnificent, Saint Suppapong is a great actor, after watching him in the bl drama 'Love by chance' i instantly fell in love, i love the way the music/background sounds match the scenes and honestly when i saw Tutor crying i was in tears too, when i saw Tutor and Fight get all excited and all my heart was just beating fast. the way that a bl drama can make a person feel a certain way or make a person feel the same way as the actors, is incredible.
I honestly fell in love with this drama, you know when i saw Tharn and Type(Mew Gulf)i was instantly distracted and i kept replying the same scene they were acting in. i really love these two.so cute
this drama is what people who are homosexual go through at times, there are tough times and there are happy times(but of course i don't just mean homosexual but all) we are bound to come across situations where we have no solution or no way out of it that we end up betraying our hearts, that's what Tutor did with Fight.
this drama really brings out the love of two men, who are willing to love each other and support each other.
i think that despite the misunderstanding between Tutor and Fight( when they started) they still loved each other.
like Zon and Saifah they slowly realize that they were falling in love with each other every time they get close.
this drama brings out the fire of how homosexual people would go through or experience.
i recommend this Drama for those who are bl and anyone interested.
