Yikes
I’m surprised I was able to force myself to finish this one. I can tell the poor actors were stuck with this one. They tried their best. The Story was all over the place. There were way too many open story lines with zero resolutions. So many scenes with nothing going on, just time wasting. They couldn’t even give a good climax to the story. It just sort of fizzled out. It started out promising but come on… they completely lost what it seemed like they were going for. Please save your time and don’t bother with this one. There are too many other things to watch.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

A total trainwreck
I will keep this review short because there is really no point on even doing one given the super mediocre and low quality of this series...This was a trainwreck and a total disaster put together in a Thai BL series. I don't even understand why Line TV picked up this mess from yet another small company called Jumdee Film Productions who felt the need to produce a BL just because it has been the popular trend around small Thailand companies.
Well, save yourself from the pain of this series that lasted 12 excruciating episodes of useless scenes, terrible acting, no credible storyline or plot, bad directing, bad writing, bad everything.
The main couple of two newcomers in Pakoo (playing Nut) and Tawan (playing Satha) has to be the most mismatched BL couple ever. I normally do not judge a series based on the looks of the actors because that is a very superficial thing to do but in this case it really seem to affect many of the comments and reviews I've read in here as most people don't understand why these two actors were chosen. The age difference was so obvious between the main leads that it was a bit awkward to watch their romantic moments as it felt odd to see Tawan and Pakoo kiss or cuddle together. I am not against an older-younger couple but the lack of chemistry and the lack of good acting made their situation a bit weird. Plus, their relationship is always unclear because Nut is falling for Satha but Satha keeps rejecting Nut when he is confronted by others about it only to then desperately try to convince Nut that he really really loves him.
The side couple of Ing (playing Jedi) and Get (playing Nanon) was more of the traditional BL cliché of having the actors doing all cute things together. However, their relationship went from zero to 100 in about 2 minutes after they get drunk at a party and end up having sex. Then they realize they like each other and become a couple... that's it, no drama, no complications, no nothing... they just became a couple faster than I could type these lines.
The episodes were relatively short for a full 12-episode series and that made the plot and the storyline full of failures. Some of the episodes had nothing relevant happening only to fill the last 2 or 3 minutes with drama between Satha and Nut and their relationship or the side couple moments. Bad directing and bad writing had so many boring and dull moments and if you have a lot of those in a 25 to 28-minute episode then it basically fails. The actors clearly had not a lot of workshops to prepare and with most of them making their acting debut, it was obvious they lacked the proper direction to portray their emotions better and go from a happy to a sad moment more convincingly.
The only one with acting experience is Net (playing Nut's ex-boyfriend Ball) who was one of the main actors in "Hidden Love" (a mediocre show that had some nice moments) and also in "I'm Your King Season 2" (another BL disaster). However, in this series, he plays the role of the bad guy who was Nut's boyfriend, cheated, got dumped and now wants to get Nut back. But in another bad directing and bad writing moment, he suddenly appears in front of Satha in episode 12 and changes his attitude, saying he understands how much Nut did for him and how bad he treated him so he was leaving and letting him find happiness. So after several episodes of tormenting and stalking Nut and even dating one of Nut's friend (a girl) just to get closer to Nut, he just decides to quit?! Makes no sense.
As I said, this whole series had many dull moments and combined with the lack of chemistry between the main couple and nearly all of the cast, the bad directing, the bad writing, the bad acting, made "My Boy" probably one of the worst BL series I've seen in several years. So, you get a 10 just for watching all 12 episodes and not quitting at some point.
