Perfect10 Liners (2024)

traditional Thai romcom

Overall: this has a lot of frequently seen Thai romcom elements including a ton of comedy sound effects. My favorite was the last arc with Faifa and Wine. 24 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on GMMTV's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI7tY-4JZhpydsT6fIpemt3l&si=f7ir8p1MqNiXYXtL and WeTV https://wetv.vip/en/play/feag2shxw6mx76l-Perfect%2010%20Liners For all parts, they should have aired 2 episodes per week instead of it taking 6 months to air and I was not a fan of the constant comedy sound effects.

First Arc (episodes 1-8), actors Book and Force play Arm and Arc
Content Warnings: non con touching, non con picture taking/sharing

Watch Suggestions (if you're not a fan of the cold/jerk pursuer trope and if the comedy doesn't work for you)
- watch episode 1
- episode 2: part 1 6:15-7:35, 8:45-11:40, part 2 beginning to 1:30, part 3 2:40-5, part 4 4-end
- episode 3: watch part 1, part 2 watch 6:20-7:10
- episode 4: watch part 1, part 3 start at 3, watch part 4
- episode 5: watch part 3 starting at 2, watch part 4
- episode 6: watch part 1 (can skip or watch parts 2 and 3), watch part 4
- episode 7: watch part 1, part 3 9-10:20 and part 4 16:30-end
- episode 8: watch part 1 15-end, parts 2, 3 and 4

What I Liked
- I did laugh a few times
- subverted tropes
- easy to understand premise
- sweet moments
- nice to see a lot of GMMTV actors
- Pond & Sand breadcrumbs were sweet though some ignoring boundaries at the end of ep 5
- Tay Tawan cameo
- the friend groups

Room For Improvement
- started with the present, then flashback, the flash to the present and then back again the start of episode 3 felt jarring
- has the nonsense 'be a jerk to the person I like' "plan" (though it is nice that the other guy had a bit of a spine and pushed back)
- non con kiss in episode 5 part 4
- love rivals/jealousy
- the "I don't like you smiling at anyone else, I don't like you going around acting cute" in episode 7 part 4
- (neutral) the comedy sound effects didn't make me laugh


Second Arc (episodes 9-16) actors Perth and Santa play Yotha and Gun (dynamic is a hyper child-like character with a reserved stern character)
Content Warnings: punch, fight, non con kiss, blood, violence, non con touching, gaslighting

Watch Suggestions (to avoid one character being hot/cold)
- watch episodes 9 and 10
- episode 11: watch part 1, part 2 skip 2-7, part 3 skip 6:30-11, watch part 4 until 16:45
- episode 12: watch part 1 9:20-11 and 13min, part 2 watch 4-end, part 3 7-end and part 4 beginning-1:30 and 13:05-end
- episode 13: watch part 1 3-4:45 and 16:30-end, part 2 watch 1:40-2:30
- episode 14: watch part 1 beginning-8 and 13:40-end, part 2 5:50-10:15 and 14-end, watch part 4 5:30-9:05 and 14:45-end
- episode 15: watch part 1 2:30-14:15, part 3 3-end, part 4 9:20-end
- watch episode 16 (can start part 3 at 12:40 to avoid nonsense mom drama (why didn't she say something sooner???)

What I Liked
- caring moments like tying the tie
- supportive mom/sister

Room For Improvement
- the one character acts like a child (brings a blankie to university, sleeps with lights on, cat on his shirt, his childish mannerisms)
- a ton of new characters were introduced quickly
- how a character said another character had to take responsibility for his feelings
- a character was frequently drunk
- a different character punched someone for hugging his boyfriend
- the non con kiss to prove something
- treating a character like an object ie saying "quiet dog" in episode 13
- being hot and cold without communication
- "you started this"
- when asked why a character likes another character he can only come up with "he's cute"
- the cliche power of love magically healing deep trauma/phobia
- being pushy, "I don't know means yes", nope yes means yes or nodding your head means yes


Third Arc (episodes 17-24) Actors are Mark and Junior who play Wine and Faifa (dynamic is a peppy people-pleaser with a reserved character)
Content Warnings: slap, internalized homophobia, unwanted outing

Watch Suggestions
- watch episodes 17 and 18 (can start 18 part 3 at 11)
- watch 19-24 (can start ep 23 part 3 at 5:40 unless you enjoy the mom drama)

What I Liked
- caring moments
- one of the very rare examples that prominently features internalized homophobia
- good intimacy (though too much space between bodies which I think applies to all of the couples)
- nice finale

Room For Improvement
- the over the top character, though he at least doesn't feel like a 5 year old
- though it was nice to see previous couples, by the third arc they took up way too much screentime
- didn't care about the mom plot at all and wish the boyfriends would have first consulted their partners
- (Yotha & Gun had another round of "can I (have sex with you)" and "I told you before no one asks about that")

FUNNY , CUTE

Story - Simple story with recognized GMMTV actors . There are so many scenes which were so funny and cute .

Visuals - Always great .

Cinematography - Top tier .

Music - Background music is not funny at all but annoying .

Acting - Great cast with super cool acting .

Room for Improvement- This series is same as We Are from GMMTV. They should change same types of school engineering/ medical BL series and try some new story.

Schedule - Schedule for broadcasting of this drama is definitely not good . They should air two episodes per week instead of one episode which will take six months . We have definitely not that much patience .
