I have watched a lot of thai dramas, particularly BLs. They’re usually just romance dramas, but I had never watched a fantasy romance drama before. I was a but hesitant, because fantasy has never really been my thing. But I’m so so glad that I decided to watch it!!

Story:
When you first watch, the story does seem a little bit cheesy and stereotypically fairy-tale like. But as you continue to watch, especially as the first episode ends, you learn that there is so muvh more to the story than a girl turning into a boy and a magical unicorn. It tackles love triangles, pressure, troubles in friendship, selfishness and lots of very complex plot points that I really got into! The story is easy to follow along with, and you really get into it. Personally, story is very important to me. Especially with BLs (I’m not sure if this counts as a BL or not, but regardless I will continue to refer to it as a BL because it a lotnof the demographic is BL fans) I always feel like they focus more on the romance and fanservice rather than the plot which really bothers me! The romance is accompanied nicely with a good plot that keeps you entertained and interested in the story. I was also worried about how the representation would be considering Love is a girl in a boys body, but I’m really happy with how they conveyed it! This could’ve been problematic, but the drama settles on the idea that love is the person, and not the gender. Kudos to the writers, I wish I had more words to describe how much I love the story haha. I do feel as though Good’s relationship with Me was a little bit pointless, but nevertheless it added a little bit of wholesomeness. I also found myself cringing a little bit at the tournament the first time I watched it, just because of how different it was from the rest of the drama. But after watching it again, I realise that it is really well done. It’s not my favourite part of the drama, but it is really good for character development.

Acting/Cast:
The acting is spectacular. This is another problem I sometimes face with BL dramas. (Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of BL dramas with great actors!) But the acting is sometimes cheesy and forced. I’m not sure if its just me, but I sometimes struggle to see the person on screen as a character. I see them as an actor trying to play a character, and saying lines meaninglessly. But the acting goes way beyond that in this drama! Especially with the actor who plays male Love. I am so impressed. There was a lot of emotionally complexity that he had to convey, and he nailed it. He also did really well showing that he is a girl in a boys body. I am particualrly impressed with him! When you can feel what a character is feeling, that is how you know an actor is good. Tangmo is also perhaps my favourite character in any drama ever. He is easily a fan favourite and you have to love him! The acting among the cast is so casual and well done, and I appreciate it. It reminded me of westeen entertainment. (I’m not saying western entertainment is always better, I just think the standards are a lot higher). Every character has something special about them, and they all did really well. You become attatched to each character, and that’s how you know its a good cast!

Music:
The OST is really catchy and I like how it is used in the drama. I find myself singing the opening tune sometimes haha. Also, the opening credits enticed me the moment I first watched the drama!

Rewarch value:
Considering this is my third time watching it, I definitely think that you would most not settle on watching it once. If I feel an emotional attatchment to a drama, I will watch it again!

Overall:
My favourite thai drama of all time! I love everything about it. There is so much character development and emotional struggles. I couldn’t reccomend it enough.
