This Is So Good If You're Tired of Plotless BL

I'm so glad I didn't listen to the reviews omfg. I'm on episode 6 and this is a masterpiece. I love all the characters, including the one I hate for fun and Phupha, the one I hate because it is the correct thing to feel for him. Right from the jump, the plot establishes Nanfah as The Goodest Boy™️ and at this point, I am prepared to impale anyone who hurts him. This is particularly impressive to me because he is (perhaps only outwardly??) a stupid character. Not as soul-numbingly dumb as some typical BL stupid characters, but he's in the category all the same. He makes up for it by having a heart of actual gold (rhodium? The boy is precious is what I'm saying.)

I have never had a show so efficiently make me like a character, flaws and all. I watched a lot of things and I almost always have to be coaxed into liking characters a little (with a few (literally, three) very deserving exceptions) but Nanfah? He's so Good, like literally just a good person but not to the extent that it's grating. Okay, I could crow about him all day but let's move on.

I can see all the space left for BL, but it's never at the expense of the show, the plot, the character development, or the entertainment of it all. In fact, it's almost never actually utilized, I'm pretty sure this is gonna be one of the one's where the BL is crammed into the last couple episodes. The side characters are likeable or unlikable on purpose. The jokes land!! I've had countless laughs while watching this and while it wasn't gutbusting guffaws (like MSP, for example) I haven't stopped smiling for the most part.

I say for the most part because Phupha exists. I like Phupha. Phupha is, objectively, a likeable guy. The decisions he makes, even before we time skip to the present, make me hate him. I disliked him because I wasn't willing to forgive him, especially when his actions affected The Goodest Boy™️. I say that because I hate him and want everyone to know it, but also because this show is an exemplary example of how to properly get watchers invested in characters. I've been invested since episode one. I am never invested until episode two or three AT LEAST because they're normally the absolute worst episodes (bar episode ten). This story draws you in. I started watching to have something in the background while I worked and ended up trying to get caught up because it was so compelling I couldn't split my attention.

Phupha is finally getting his comeuppance and it hurts because I like him. It also feels great because I hate him. It feels the greatest because I love Nanpha. I'm so aggressively torn by and invested in these characters, it is glorious. It's one of those where all of the options being hinted at are acceptable to me-- I'm more attached to the story and the characters than the (scarce) BL. Well, that's half a lie, actually. I hope they don't end up together, which is also rare for me, and a first for me when I like all the characters. The amount of times I have thought or said *out loud* that Phupha hasnt, doesn't, and never will deserve Nanfah must be in the hundreds by now.

I removed half a point because people really don't talk in their sleep as much as Thai shows make it seem and I've got a decent amount of contempt for that sort of thing now. Never in my life have I rooted this hard for the second male lead (third? I mean Party, not PoopPha.) I just want to roll this series up and put it in my pocket ugh. I'm in the Nanfah fanclub, the Party Fanclub, the Pooppha Hateclub, the Ken appreciation club.... I love these characters so much. I hate lying plotlines (and lying in general) the most so thats hashing my high but I'm in episode 8 now and I'm still waiting for the wasted potential other review were talking about.

Okay, I'm almost done with episode ten and I can say that it's looking like the ending won't be as satisfying as I hoped. Why? Because no one is out of character. The final obstacle was what I expected it to be and Phupha reacted how he's already demonstrated he would. I hate him so much it's bleeding over to the actor so I'm gonna have to fix that, but on the plus side, it means he's done a fantastic job. Nanfah has the patience of a saint, the smile of pure sunlight, and my whole shriveled heart. Frankly, even with as much as I love Nanfah, I found myself wishing evil on him if only so that Phupha would learn a very difficult lesson. So, I suppose, I hate Phupha more than I love Nanfah? Holy shit, for a second I thought they did it and I was actually really pleased. Ah, alas. Tbh, if they had, I would've added back that half star, because the Phupha Hate Club demands that Phupha suffer.

Okay, I'm done now so in conclusion: MDLs rating is wrong as always, this is great, Phupha will piss you off and give you heartburn, watch this. (Also Phupha has never, does not, and will never deserve Namfah.)

(Also, also, this is the first time I've been nonplussed to dissatified about a happy ending lol.)

Okiokiokioki see yoooouuuuuu

A really good start that is then thrown in the toilet and shat on.

The mother is actually quite human, not particularly annoying at all, but she shows up out of nowhere and stays for FIVE EPISODES (or six? I lost count). Solely to force the main characters to stay in the same room. I found her innensely grating and was begging her to leave pretty quick. Literally just started skipping when she appeared, even for important scenes, bexause she felt not only extraneous, but irritating because e v e r y t h i n g in this show DRAGS on for wayy to long. Not scene wise but definitely plotwise.

Everything is going well and everyone is mature even in their childishness and then the ex shows up and we're four, freshly in preschool again, unable to FUCKING COMMUNICATE. I lasted two episodes, which is way longer than I shouldve given it considering how egregiously my time was disrespected the moment the ex showed up. Both main characters ditched the personalities they spent the last eight episodds building and went out of character. I went ahead and spoiled the end for myself and it only made me angrier because the ex plotline is entirely unnecessary. So much potential ruined by a bs, fake, unnecessary, forced cobflict yet again.

Also that 'I do, I do,' song makes me want to surgically extract my eardrums, destroy them, and burn the pieces. For me, this isnt worth a first watch, let alone a rewatch.

It's Not Supposed To Be Funny, But...

My expectations begun in the basement level so there was literally no way for this show to disappoint me without first going to hell. The first episode is so rushed I found myself laughing at nearly everything, even now, just after finishing it, I'm still giggling even though the entire episode is meant to be serious. (Especially when Tai appears at the gallery acting like a two bit villain, I nearly died laughing). The lines so far have been exclusively read, not acted, but I always give episode one all the grace I have to spare (and then some when two episodes are released at the same time because obviously, episode one cant stand on its own) so I'll decide on that next week. I hate, hate, HATE being told over being shown and, to me, a montage is exactly that: telling. Montaging the relationship with a main character is wild because it is instantly unbelievable. I just met this motherfucker twenty minutes ago. KRAM just met him twenty minutes ago. And you want me to believe they have deep feelings? Matter of fact, back up, whyre they kissing?? I wish I could insert a picture of my face for that entire section of the episode because it'd say the million words I have much more succintly.

Also the plot??? "If the man who just tried to kill you and has guns (but also chose to use a knife because.....uh, because, i guess) comes back (read: and you survive) I MIGHT have to hire a bodyguard"???? Wild lmao. And then: "hey you just tried to kill me but I just gotta know why, do you per chance have a remote location where we can meet. A warehouse? That's perfect, on my way!" Bro, I was CRYING laughing because they read the lines almost monotone and the lines themselves werenso, so dumb good lord. If I keep both my expectations and standards on the floor, this is a comedy, and I'm loving it.

I could quote so many lines from these two episodes alone, but I'll just do one more and let it be:
Tai: who do i look like?
Kram: tai, son of por
Tai: yes i am he
Kram: but tai has scar on face
Tai: idc i am not he
You cannot tell me this is not a comedy. Or, you could but I have timestamps to prove otherwise. Tbh, i did actually want to see MaxNat in something good because I couldnt get past a few episodes in Cutie Pie or Naughty Babe, but the synopsis for this one killed that dream and now the show itself is beating the dead horse.

I wish I hadnt said no more quotes because Im sobbing this is so funny. One of my housemates came downstairs to check on me and thought I was sad crying but i cant breathe its so funny. I think what really gets me is the utter lack of emotion in literally any line mixed with the plot moving at mach speed but somehow also being empty. I usually wait for 3 - 5 episodes to review but this is such a trip I'll just do it now: I absolutely recommend this. Just dont take it seriously and youll have a blast.

Ill probably updaye this review as I go along since this is one of the few new shows I dont see myself dropping by episode five lol.

It was so bad I deleted gagaoolala

Im normally pretty longwinded in reviews, especially if I didnt like the series, but for once, i have not shit to say. I didnt even make it though episode one. I figured it was going to be NC scene heavy, but never in a million years did I expect every NC scene to feel awkward, random, and kinda forced/fake 🙃 this was a no.

Oh theres a character minimum limit jfc,ok uh
From what i got between all the jacking off and horny people trying to fuck everything with legs, their friend dissappeared and no one gives enough of a fuck to report that and instead call an escort dressed up like a cop to take their friends mind off the other one disappearing???? Ok sure. Being a virgin is aparently the crime of all crimes to this group so lets have some weird consent issues for 200. Ok bet. BL writers must think fans are famished because why are we holding a stare with no words for 10+ seconds??? I literally thought something happened to the app. Christ i just wanna forget I watched any of this so hopefully this is 500 words.
