a sweet start turns into a snoozefest
i really had high hopes for this drama since this is gmmtv's first gl and MilkLove has been a very much anticipated couple. i loved their chemistry since bad buddy, so i never had a problem with the cast, chemistry of the couples or the acting. on the contrary, i think everyone did a great job portraying their characters. the characters were cute and sweet, i liked the friendship between them. both milklove and viewjune have amazing chemistries and look good together.HOWEVER, despite there was no issue with the characters or the acting, there were definitely some problems with the plot and storytelling. it started well and promising - the plot was quite interesting; a young, shy, introverted girl falls in love with the popular girl and due to her insecurities, she decides to contact her with a fake account, pretending to be a guy. when you hear the main story, it sounds like it will be filled with exciting events, mysteries and a rollercoaster of emotions. yet, when you continue watching, it becomes bland - nothing goes on. everything is so plain. it gets boring after some time and you start watching in 1.75x.
everything felt superficial in the show. it is not like a series but feels like those youtube mini dramas where the story wraps up in like 2 videos. there is no depth to anything. the characters, their families (where are the parents??), the storyline feel so empty. i really wanted to love this. and i still kept on watching despite not liking it that much, solely because i want the first gl to be well-received. i feel like gmmtv barely cared about this show and just wanted to test the waters to see how well it will do (to see if they should produce more gls or not), hence why they didnt want to invest much (and loreal being the only sponsor, come onnn like pls)
also, i could tolerate the blandness until the 10th ep. it was at least a cute high school romance. but, after the ep 9 (when ongsasun officially became a couple), the storyline just went downhill. why did sun out ongsa to her parents? and then she acted as the victim. i understand that she wanted to be acknowledged as the gf, but if your gf isnt ready, you shouldnt rush her. ongsa's parents were not homophobic, yes. but regardless, some people may not be ready to disclose themselves to their family. you don't know her parents exactly, you don't know if they really will accept their daughters' sexual orientation or not. so why out her like that? even if her parents were understanding, it is not somebody else's place to say it. and then, she gave ongsa the cold shoulder. girl you are the one at fault here... and that scholarship thing was unnecessary too. i think it should have been just 10 episodes.
aylinluna was a good couple but their story and romance felt too rushed and we barely knew anything about luna. aylin's story was fine. and what about mawin & tinh? mawin liked him and then?? it seemed he was trying to pursue tinh but then he suddenly stopped?? what was going on there
i think i was quite generous giving this 7... i want to encourage gmmtv to produce more gls with a BETTER production and plot please. i tried not to be as harsh as this is their first gl and some mistakes are bound to happen as it is just the first, but i cant help it. im criticising it in the hopes that upcoming gls will be much better. im looking out for more milklove content. i hope they will have another series which is much better than this one bc they dont lack anything. the chemistry and acting are there. they just need a good plot.

Definitely one of my favorite GLs this year
Overall this was a sweet story about first love and the struggles that come with it. Definitely not a perfect show and there were times when I disagreed with the characters, but that makes them feel three-dimensional.What I liked: Ongsa being such a loser was very funny and I loved seeing how she slowly found her people and her confidence. The side couples were cute as well, I was pleasantly surprised by the teachers, but my favorite side couple was, of course, AylinLuna. I could relate to Aylin and it was genuinely heartwarming seeing her realize that she is loved and has friends that support her now. The romance never felt forced, especially for OngsaSun, and I could clearly see the struggles and consequences of bad decisions made by teenagers who didn't know any better because they're still learning and growing.
Watching the main couple have problems and trying to adjust to their first relationship, figuring out the balance between giving enough of yourself but not too much, felt incredibly real and relatable.
What I disliked: The conflict between Sun and Ongsa felt a bit forced, in the show Sun understands Ongsa very well.. Until she doesn't, it felt out of character for her to get angry and break up with Ongsa because of that conflict and the way it was resolved wasn't any better. All the blame was put on Ongsa and her tendency to care a bit too much about what others think, when Sun was also very much to blame for outing her friends and her girlfriend and immediately lashing out after, I feel like this was minimized.
I think having a bl couple in the series was a last minute decision and Tin and Mawin were supposed to fill in the void left by the fact that they switched the side couple to a wlw one, this was executed very poorly to the extent that I at one point thought Mawin was going to get rejected and then end up with Ton, since TonMawin got more scenes and more chemistry than TinMawin, there could've been so many different ways to portray that relationship better.
In conclusion, it wasn't perfect but the series was cute and I enjoyed it very much, I loved the friendships and the supportive adults, it touched on some pretty important themes while still maintaining its lighthearted essence, it really felt like the characters were real. Despite having some flaws it's really a great watch and I know I'll probably rewatch it many times.

opinion based on own preferences (may contain spoilers)
(⚠️before reading, pls note that this is my first gmmtv show/series i’ve watched and i’ve only known and started watching gl series this year so i’m still somewhat new to the gl industry) this is my second gl i’ve watched and i happened to know about this show i think after the 5 or 6th episode was aired and i got interested in the show after a few snippets of certain episodes. i have to say, this show is like the best i’ve watched so far (i’ve only completed gap the series and this but there are other gl series that i’m still watching halfway so maybe it might not be a ‘fair’ rating) and the actresses have really good chemistry. i love that they have side gl couples too, gl romance between teachers, and even a slight bl romance for the side roles, which made this show really inclusive that age and gender doesn’t really matter. however, i do hope that they will have a season 2 of after they grad perhaps and when they go work? the kissing scenes for milklove (ongsasun) were honestly not enough and i was more hooked to the kiss that viewjune (aylinluna) had in the last episode, like both couples have amazing chemistry with each other which makes this series even better. i hope gmmtv will give viewjune the main roles so that they can showcase their chemistry and acting to everyone! some ppl may not enjoy this show as much because there isn’t much kissing and like 18+ or r-rated scenes, since obv this show is between students who are still studying, but as a person who is also a student, i like that i can kinda relate more compared to other gls where it’s more of adult environment (like office or work based). the character development of every single character is so good, like i like how ongsa learns how to be more of herself and kinda more grown up when sun was overseas studying, and how aylin became not so afraid and scared of others and even initiated the last kiss she had with luna in the last episode!! i hope gmmtv will produce more shows with these actresses (best to make them main leads) and please give viewjune their own show!! if you managed to read this far, thank you for making the time to read this!

Yes! A good Thai GL!
I have been waiting for GMM to release a GL and 23.5 did not disappoint! Whether or not you like the school-type romance, it is a genre that GMM has managed to perfect. I loved MilkLove in Bad Buddy, so when they announced they'd be starring in a GL, I knew I'd be watching it.Ongsa recently transferred from the countryside to a school in Bangkok, where she happens to run into Sun, a girl she's been following on social media for awhile. While Sun and Ongsa become friends in real life, they also start chatting on social media - except Sun doesn't know she's texting Ongsa, and thinks it's a boy named Earth. Scared to reveal her true identity, Ongsa plays the part of Earth as long as she can, but knows Sun will eventually find out. She can't help but wonder: what would Sun do if she knew she was texting a girl? Even if Sun likes Ongsa, what would other people say behind their back about them?
This show is very cute - again, it's your typical high school romance but between two girls in the same class. The main conflicts bring up points that a queer high schooler would likely relate to - issues of internalized homophobia, the fear of other people's opinions, and the possibility of rejection. It's a great show that isn't too intense and is just a light and fun watch. I think that if you enjoyed GMM's BLs like My School President or Bad Buddy, you'd really enjoy this one. There are conflicts I wish they would have fleshed out a bit more, but overall I had a great time watching this weekly.

Cute and Funny Storyline
I m a late comer to Thai GL. The ones that I have watched are Blank, Gap, Show Me Love and 23.5. I look forward to watch Pluto and other GLs with open my mind to have fair evaluation as possible.I prefer to focus on the storyline, emotions conveyed by all casts, drama settings and the selection of costumes to match the mood.
23.5 balance all the three above and that makes it almost natural. The one that i dislike is drama is a bit draggy.
P/s: 9 is for the main casts so that they room to grow further. They did well in this drama.

Aylins story is the best
„23.5" was my first GL series, which made me very excited while watching it. Honestly I started watching it because of Aylin and her unique style, but the main couple also charmed me, making me enjoy the whole series.Ongsa is a very relatable character, she is also very funny and slightly oversensitive, which is understandable, although it might slightly irritate some viewers. Overall, Ongsa and Sun had an interesting and enjoyable story, just like the side couple which kept me from getting bored. I would also like to mention Ton, who charmed me a lot, and I have a feeling that without him, I wouldn't have laughed as much.
The acting was good and I would particularly like to highlight View, who did very well in the role of Aylin. I focus mainly on her story because her subplot was quite original and really moving. I am glad that GMMTV undertook such a story.
The soundtrack, as in many GMMTV series, was so-so. The same song kept repeating but if someone is familiar with GMMTV series, they won’t be surprised. I always wonder why some series (including "Not Me") have a varied OST, even with American songs, while others have very few OSTs or just one.
Overall, I rate the series highly - I really liked it. I also enjoyed the behavior of the fandom on X, as we achieved a very good result in the hashtag.

A Promising Start That Loses Its Way
The show kicks off with a strong and captivating start. The first episodes draw you in with their intensity and well-paced storytelling. However, as the series progresses, it begins to lose its focus, struggling under the weight of too many characters. This overcrowding leads to one of the most glaring issues: a lack of screen time for one of the supposed leads, Sun.
Sun's character, who should have been central to the story, ends up feeling like a side character. The audience is never truly given the opportunity to connect with her or explore her thoughts. Instead, she feels distant, like a passing object we can never quite reach. This is a significant missed opportunity, as her character had the potential to add depth and emotional resonance to the story.
The final episodes further exacerbate these issues. It becomes evident that the writers were unsure of how to conclude the story. The plot begins to meander, ultimately betraying the very nature of the characters we had come to know. Their actions and decisions in these final moments feel out of place, leaving the audience disconnected and unsatisfied.
In summary, while the show had a promising start with strong initial episodes, it ultimately falters under the weight of its own ambition. The lack of focus on key characters, particularly Sun, and a disappointing conclusion, prevent it from reaching its full potential.

TAN DULCE!!
Me gusto bastante la historia de ambas, el hecho de que ongsa realmente sabia transmitir el sentimiento de no ser correspondida (y más con alguien de tu mismo género) es algo que si podía llegarte, pero a pesar de esto, toda la serie fue muy dulce y divertida. Ame tanto al elenco y las actuaciones fueron muy divertidas y el personaje de Sun fue de lo más lindo que puedas ver junto con Aylin. Me encanto el hecho de que nos dejaron ver el trasfondo de la historia de Aylin y el porqué se comportaba de esa manera, ya que esto no se suele ver muy seguido en las series (dando como resultado que el personaje solo sea tonto porqué si) pero lo supieron manejar bien y nos dieron la historia con todo un contexto por detrás. El ost de esta serie es algo muy lindo, la voz de ambas actrices se complementa muy bien y es una canción fácil de escuchar. Como una persona que espero por 23.5, dos años, quedé realmente conforme y superó mis expectativas, tanto tiempo esperando por Milklove y lo hicieron excelente y las escenas de besos no se vieron forzadas, realmente amo a ellas dos!!!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

This is a really cute story between two characters Sun and Ongsa. I wish I had this story growing up in high school. There were some plotholes in the story throughout the Ongsa's classmates with each other and how they tried to help her get with Sun and while they were in the relationship. However, I realized the plot holes were made to make the series a comedy. Some characters are made to make bad decisions and not realize it since they are teenagers. Ton was really annoying though throughout the show. The production design is very cool, making the show come to life between these classmates and teachers. It really has nice representation for autism (I'm mildly autistic irl), trans, and gay people.I would have liked the series more if it was longer and if there were more interactions between Sun, Ongsa, and its recurring characters. The longer it was, the more developed these characters were, but this isn't like the series Home School with two main conflicts the characters had to deal with when really it was just two main characters (Ongsa and Sun) trying to figure things out for each other. Also, Sun feels like she has lots of screentime, but loses its value as they show too many couples trying to get together at the same time, it distracts the storyline. While it is cute and feels like MLM and other couple dynamics are being represented, it made the storyline between Ongsa and Sun bland at some points as they were developing.

キャストの演技は本当に素晴らしい
最初に、MilkとLoveの演技はとても素晴らしかったです。私は元々二人が大好きですが、特にLoveの今回のような演技を見たことが無かったので、非常に感動しました。
ただ、ストーリーやキャラクター設定は課題があると思います。
カミングアウトのタイミングを軽視している点はもっと深く考える必要があるし、Milk演じるオンサーが最後まで成長しないのも残念でした。
ただ、ここに出てくるトランスジェンダーの女性教師のNidaとBambamの愛の描き方は素晴らしかったです。
GMMTVには、今後もより良いGL作品を作ってほしいと願っています。

Silly girls
really enjoyed the series; it was both funny and cute. I especially loved the silly loser lesbians characters who made me laugh with their clumsy and endearing behavior. Watching their innocent love story was very satisfying. However, the series did feel a bit lacking at times due to the absence of more detailed information and development.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
