!!CONTAINS SPOILERS!!
I don't really care about MDL rating actually, but this is the second time i feel the need to write a review about a series. The first time was because of how bad a series was and this second time is because i want to give justice to an actual good show, and that is Enchanté.

At first i watched the show because i was bored and saw the first episode on my yt timeline so i watched it. I didn't even know the actors and the plot summary at that time. The concept of looking for enchanté surely wasn't my favorite, but i was just curious on how the story would be. I was worried, i thought it would end in a cliché way like most story with similar concept were. I had so many thought, and my most concern was "why is he so attached to this enchanté guy?" when he clearly doesn't have a deep connection with him. They only exchanged a few sentence on the book anonymously, and it's not even personal. So i thought they would make Akk the enchanté and the only reason Theo felt something about the enchanté is because it's his best friend which he had subconsciously liked for a long time, blah blah . And it's just meh. The usual illogical love story. BUT then i saw the spoiler of who enchanté actually is, just after i finished episode 2. So i watched the next episode with Theo as enchanté in my mind, and i got even more curious as to how they will reveal the story without making it look "forced" and have actual reasons behind all the characters' actions. And i should say i'm SATISFIED.

1. The enchanté isn't Akk nor the 4 ambassadors.
2. Theo have his reason for being the enchanté. People might say he's crazy for this, but it's not like he purposely hired 4 men to pretend to be his "enchanté", he was a victim of the ambassadors trying to get something from him by being his enchanté. And although i wouldn't do something as extreme as what Theo did, i can totally understand his reasons.
3. The ambassadors have their reasons for pretending to be enchanté. And i'm glad it's not because they're genuinely have feelings for Theo, because that would seem too "dreamy" especially since Theo is a new student.
4. They did a very good job at linking stuff that they showed in previous episodes as evidence of some key point in the later episodes. For example, Akk being a lefty, Saifah as the only enchanté among the 4 ambassadors, and Natee as the key person.
5. The story is in the right pace, not too slow nor too fast. They're not jumping into kissing since the first episode just because they're best friends. And they're not dragging it too much either. At least while we're waiting for them to confess their feelings, we can see the development of their relationship in every episode.
6. AND THE CHEMISTRY. They have one of the best chemistry in BL industry. I love how comfortable they are as real life best friends, and they're not forcing fan services by unnecessary skinship or sweet talk. So if someone have the nerve to say something about their chemistry, i'm 100% sure that person doesn't have a friend irl that's why they don't understand how chemistry between friends actually is.
Also, additional fact. The 2 main leads, Force and Book have known each other since kindergarten so expect a good friendship from them.

(++) Acting wise, overall all the characters are good. But let's focus on the 2 main leads. I'm not an expert so i can't say this theoretically, but i can at least judge their acting based on how comfortable i see them. Their acting aren't awkward at all, and i could say one of the best especially among rookies. Yes, they're rookies. Force is really versatile in facial expression, he doesn't hesitate in moving all his facial features like eyes, mouth and eyebrows to express the character of Akk. I feel the need to mention this since some actors look really stiff, even when they try to play with their eyebrows, their eyes seems tense and doesn't give off the right emotions. So, i'm glad to see the variety of expressions Force shows. And Book, honestly i think that it's due to the character that he couldn't show expressions as much as Force. Because Theo is a calm person and not as expressive as Akk. BUT he did a good job in every expression he portrays as Theo. Like, the little confusion everytime he talk with the ambassadors. And episode 8 is the peak, he did a good job in expressing the frustration and disappoinment Theo felt towards Akk and i especially like his expression after the balcony kiss scene. When they let go of their kiss, he looks like he tried to "scoop" the air, he makes it look like he's reluctant to let go of the kiss and still wanted Akk but on the other hand his smile showed relief that his longing for Akk was finally over.

Enchanté plot might be simple, but at least they shows that they actually thought about the storyline. Not like some shows with literal plot holes but then get praised by people simply because the actors are handsome (well, ForceBook indeed are handsome too ofc) or the story have some spicy bed scenes (i'm not talking about any spesific show, ok?).
I just don't understand how can people hating on a light, unproblematic and harmless show like enchanté. I saw a lot of unnecessary and unreasonable hatred towards this show since the first episode. Just because it replaces the previous show, not up to their taste and the dumbest one is because the main leads look like twins. LOL.
Well, i think that's all i wanna say. Thanks for reading this long ass paragraph, but i would really appreciate it if you guys watch this show with a light feeling and without any sentimental judgement ^^ So you can enjoy the show and grasp the story well.
