Cute but not much else

This is mostly cute and fluffy and ForceBook are very watchable, but there wasn't much else beyond that.

First off I feel like they got together way too quickly, I think it would have served them better to make it more of a slow burn. The way their relationship developed often seemed a bit directionless, which goes especially for the last two episodes which were honestly a waste of time.

I liked Cher's back story and especially his moments with Thup, but most of the time Cher seemed immature as a character and didn't learn to express his feelings. Gun's character lacked depth which is a shame, and it bothered me that he seemed to let his mum walk all over Cher and their relationship.

Despite my issues with the story, there are lots of sweet moments and it's a good pick if you want a light watch.

What the hell was that plot

ABAB should have just stayed the fluffy story between Cher and Gun for 12 episodes. Would it be boring? Maybe. But I prefer that to whatever the loving god we got instead. I am seriously struggling to pick which BL got a dumber and worse written plot between ABAB and Cutie Pie. Cutie Pie might actually be better, which is saying SOMETHING.

The first half was fine. Actually, I really like Cher. He is a really refreshing BL character and I look Book's acting. They were couply and cute and having fun, like that's nice! We like nice things!!

Then they went and fucked over the second half.

The plot makes no sense whatsoever, what was the point of the whole ex bff? It rarely did anything for the plot. Cher basically breaking up with Gun in his head 500 times and irl 5 times and then Gun's mom only purpose is being a pain in the ass, she's not even one of these bitchier mother-in-laws. Her character makes no sense. She didn't even offer money!!! And then suddenly did a 180 like what?

Apropos 180! What the FUCK was Gun's character whiplash in episode 9? It didn't even fit his character and then there were NO CONSEQUENCES FOR HIM!! NONE!!! NOT EVEN A WORD!!! Literally ruined Gun for me.

And why the fuck was that co-worker who basically came outta nowhere the one sending the information??? Why did they built this up SO POORLY??

Either way, if I would rant about everything I hated, I'd never finish.

What I liked: The friend group is nice. I know some find Zo and Three useless to the plot, but I'd take them over the senseless plot any time. Jack was (trying to be) a good friend. I did like how they included he has depression and how everyone was chill bout it but they incorporated it so poorly, I wanna start ranting again.
I also think it's cool they talked about marriage equality in Thailand.

That being said: Why the hell would you build the last 10 minutes of ep 12 like it's a proposal AND THEN IT ISN'T???

Okay, done ranting. The drama is fine. Plotwise a black hole. If you ignore any sense you can like it enough, I guess. I am, however, rooting for ForceBook in Only Friends!

So many unanswered questions..

When will these writers realize that if a plot point is important enough to put into the show as a conflict, it should dang well get a resolution?!

There were so many ideas introduced into this series that just didn't get the attention or closure that they deserved. The ones that did got an off-the-cuff comment and that's it. I understand that the focus is on the main couple but as a viewer, we also became invested in Jack, Time, Thian and Thoop, just to name a few of the side characters who were used for drama but then discarded with no regard to their storyline.

Especially Thian and Thoop.. like seriously.. that's some serious stuff going on there and we don't know what comes of it. Did the stepfather go to jail? Did the mother leave him? If so, why did it take her until her son went to jail for one night instead of doing something about her daughter being attacked and driven to suicide?! WTF

And poor Jack.. nothing is done about the video game and his mental illness is kinda washed aside with a fleeting mention that he doesn't have to take the pills anymore.

I really wanted to like this series but there was just too much left out while there was too much introduced without going anywhere. The love story actually had a decent arc and I really liked that they were older in the work force instead of the typical high school/university students. The acting was good within the main cast and it was fun seeing Drake in a role other than "one of the firends."

Unnecessary drama/mishandling trauma

Listen I loved the cuteness, I think Cher childishness and Gun’s serious demeanor really made for some cute moments, but that’s pretty much it. It would be just an average cringe but still enjoyable show if it weren’t for all the drama and random trauma sprinkled in. Any and all conflict that happened was so easily avoidable if Cher would just stop being an idiot and talked about how he was feeling. This show would be just fine if not good if none of it happened. I think we forget that shows don’t have to serve a purpose or have a meaning for its existence, it can literally just be cute and nice to watch and that be it. And it really irritated me just how dumb Cher was. If you let every comment a person makes affect whether or not you wanna be in your relationship then the relationship is gonna fail. That’s honestly nothing compared to what they did to Tian tho. This character was nothing but a backstory for Cher. And nothing even came of it. He had a few outbursts because of what happened but everything just goes away at the end. Even to the point where it’s seemingly forgotten that Tian was raped?? In the final episode Cher asked her brother (forget his name lol) if he’s talked to his mom lately and he said yes excitedly. Nobody out of the three of them seem to acknowledge that she literally sat there and let a man rape her daughter until she committed suicide. They were even happy to talk about her. Like they were talking about a good friend. Drama is used as a plot tool all the time and it’s usually not a huge deal because at the very very least it serves a purpose and the show acknowledges how much it affects the characters mental health, here there’s just nothing. The “court case” never even goes anywhere. I can’t even remember if there was one and I just finished the show not even 20 minutes ago. Everything is forgotten. I don’t just find this unnecessary I find it downright disgusting and disrespectful.

Waste of talent and money gmmtv needs to up their game now it's not like what it used to be it's charm is gone even tho i just started watching bls this was one of the worst one i have watched so far feels like gmmtv is in too much pressure to make a better series ? and ended up making a flop

So much better than Enchante

this is so much better that Enchante
the plot is more realized and the acting a lot better
the pacing is good too however, there plenty of loose ends
most subplots were not resolved
feels like the wristers just lost control along the way and ran out of ideas or had limited time to flesh out everything and put it together in 12 episodes
-They could have shown more of Jack's depression how it affected him and how it affects the job
-What is Time so angry about?
-Tian's mom is complicit with her her abuse by her own step-father, to the point of suicide and only said sorry about it and hugged it out
- Thup knew the truth all along, then why is he rude to Cher the entire time? Why is he so mad and just communicates when he needs money?
- the supporting characters were really entertaining but they were not doing anything in the last 4 episodes
- the whole side-plot of the gossiping employees went nowhere

Potential ruined by the plot, again.

My overall suggested is at 6.5 but I shall keep an additional .5 for Book Kasidet as Cher successfully made us smile.

His character honestly gave me hopes, so did the plot until I realized it started off and it wasnt going anywhere.

I mean before anything, anything, I hoped for a couple of episodes where we witness a sweet build up between the leads. The story had potential, but it could not wait. We're not talking about a fast paced show here, we are talking about how we get almost nothing at the beginning.

Force is a fine actor, its an opinion no one can change but the plot made it look like his character was confused, circling around same scenes over and over again. While Gun's strong presence could be used as a core, he had nothing to tell us. While Cher could continue being the comfort character he was, his side had a dark storyline no one expected.

There isnt much to remember, plenty to question. But I did not entirely dislike it and its because of Book first of all, as i mentioned before. The cast was actually nice Id say, they tried their part as they could. Those little moments too which made me giggle over how loving they were being but dear GMM please dont make it look like the writers just went ahead with anything available until they were done.

One of my favorites even though it's not a classic

This series is way underrated in my opinion. I'm watching it for the third time now and i think it will not be the last time. The story is rather simple and there are no super dramatic moments that could easily have been avoided if the characters just talked to each other like it's so often the case. The romance is really simple and wholesome. There is also a sort of dark aspect of the story regarding one of the characters past. Don't worry I won't tell what it is. Overall it's just a lot more realistic than many other drama series. It's much more linked to the real world. They show that homophobia doesn't show exclusively through violence and that often people don't even realize they are being offensive. They also talk about mental health issues. Really, the only thing I think was made poorly is that Gun (one of the main characters) is described as cold and scary by the other characters but was shown warming up to Cher (the other main character) very quickly. It's something that could have been avoided by not rushing things the way they did. For me, it's just a minor error though and I still really enjoy watching this series.

That dark twist fooled tf outta me!!

This supposed to be fluffy lovey dovey series turned 180 in the worst way possible. That dark twist, nah, we shouldn't do that! That's such a mess dreadful enough. I didn't like that stepfather SA'd her stepdaughter then that dead-herself turnout. All that twist is a bummer. They really messed this up big time. We should have stayed with that JoongDunk type of series. Dunno why it had to be like this. The love I felt in those previous eps felt estranged to me. ForceBook, being there, just saved the series somehow. Another nega for this series is the problematic sonofabitch character which just spews negativity whenever he's on-screen. He's just there to borrow huge shitload of money from Cher then that imprisoned situation is just ick. Mind u he exposed his stepdad as the suspect of SA. I don't think bringing him in the series show any impact. It's just a burden for my little mind to bear let alone my eyes witness his behavior.

All I really hoped was bring the softness cute series back and undo that twist and those negas. Their just unnecessary burden for viewers. I was like wanna watch a light series but bruh this is not what I expected. Expected that bad.

The cast were alright. Again this series should have been short and light with few casts here and there. I'd prefer it that way. Idunno I think that's just a popular opinion. Sorry. Without those negas, I think this is decent or fair series to catch up on after serious deeper BLs out there.

Reseña sencilla

La vd es que me arrepiento tanto de haberle sacado la vuelta a ver esta serie, tipo weyy qpd con lo hermosa neta esta pareja es la viva representación de una pareja green flag en todos los sentidos yo en ningún momento sentí que hubiera alguna pisca de toxicidad, desde el principio y hasta el final su relación va en subida neta que ellos deben de ser el estándar, SPOILERS desde el 1er cap esto muy de risa pero tmb de cachondeo por asi decirlo y el 2do maybe un poco pero el final de ese cap es wowww la tensión que hay es otro nivel y luego cuando Gun le dice a Cher gracias por entrar a mi vida, se siente genial tenerte, no wey si me solto una lagrimita, tmb quiero resaltar algunas cosas como que el cap 7 es mi fav siento que tiene todo en especial la escena del min 29:30 hasta el min 30:57 creo que es de mis escenas favs de la serie, del cap 9 toda la escena del game boy, si duele y siento que no le preste la suficente atención la 1ra vez. el cap 10 me hizo llorar me dio mucho sentimiento además que yo sufria en cada cap esperando lo malo que iba a pasar (pq siempre tiene que pasar algo que nos separa), la historia de Tian, Thoop y Cher es muy triste yo al principio no entendía pq Thoop estaba presente pero conforme avanza la historia y te lo explican con todo y trasfondo si te deja otro sentimiento alch me hubiera gustado ver mas de su relación como "hermanos" también siento que Jack merecía un poquito mas nos dicen varias cosas de el empezando con que tiene desorden depresivo y si bien deja de tomar pastillas y tiene una mejoria, fue como ese personaje que no sabían muy bien que hacer con el mas que ser el amigo de Cher y como que fue la conexión entre Cher y Gun me hubiera gustado ver un final mas bonito para el, alch yo no le puedo pedir mas a esta serie y alch mas pronto que tarde la voy a volver a ver:)

Procura outra coisa melhor pra ver a menos que vc seja mt fã de forcebook

Não tem nada de interessante no roteiro, o diretor conseguiu até mesmo estragar a química incrível dos forcebook. Quando a série estava engatando em um conflito emocional maior, voltou a ser plana. Personagens secundários e principais sem graça alguma, não sei de onde tirei forças para conseguir concluir. Passou um dia que eu terminei e eu já não lembro de mais nada da história de tão irrelevante que ela foi. Não tem desenvolvimento, não tem nada. O final só difere do começo porque os personagens principais estão juntos.

It's a 7, but it's <3 so cute

It's adorable! I gave a 7, but is actually very cute and sweet! But let me tell you, point by point.

About the story: I didn't like the development, and 12 episodes were so much, the series easily will fit into 10 or maybe 8 episodes.

Thinking about Gun (Force) and Cher/Laem (Book), I was really endeared by their dynamics, it was 2 roles that fit them very much. Cher was so, so, SOOO adorable, I wanted to bite him. He was so cute, sweet, gentle, and such a sunshine! And that's exactly why I was a little upset with the screenplay, bcs some actions and things that he did was just so weird when you think about his personality?? About Gun, he was such a gentleman, but... they described him as a cold person and he just wasn't at all? Just a normal boss ig. And that made me a little lost.

In action topics, ForceBook was very good! Force (Gun) was perfect. But I have to say: I love Book, he is a good actor and SO CHARISMATIC (and that's exactly why he's a perfect Cher) but he really slacked in dramatic scenes, all his crying scenes were weird and not natural, it looks like he was really forcing and it wasn't working.

About other characters, the gamers were a very cute group of people, and they were REALLY good, supportive, and caring friends, but Jack made me a little ermmm bcs some of his attitudes. Nothing too deep, tho, he was a good friend at all. Three and Zo were a cutie couple too!

What feels so weird about AB&AB it's that we have 12 episodes, but seems like I didn't watch 12 episodes at all, but at the same time, 12 episodes for what? Because what exactly was happening in all that TWELVE epsiodes? Weird, IDK how to explain at all so... That's it.
