This made me smirk guaranteed every episode
At first I was like "Okay I have no idea what the hell I'm watching" but right after the first episode they got me.I guess you either love or hate this type of style - I've loved it.
All the kinda over the top things, with the sound effects and the acting of everyone. Just such a feelgood series.
Yep, and I have to say now I also wanna travel to Thailand, because, come on, how freaking beautiful is it there?
If you wanna watch something serious or realistic or something, ...this maybe not the right thing for you.
But if you just wanna watch a cute, fun thai show this is your go to.

Cute Fluff Series
Even Sun was my bright spot during the weekly BL line up. Boun and Prem had outstanding chemistry as usual, but I appreciated that they did not fall in love at first sight and had to work on even liking each other. There are many unresolved subplots, but they make room for a series about Mangkorn and Ashing, and will Nai end up with Nemo or Talay? As long as Nemo doesn't end up with JJ, I don't care.This is not an intellectual or high action series. It's a goofy comedy, and that's how deep it goes.

Cute Short Series
This is a really cute, six episodes short series, very soft romance and i love the OST .. the scenery is so beautiful as well as the visuals of the actors ... enjoyed watching !! if the storyline was more developed it would have been a longer series but i guess thats not what they were going for.. its a sweet quick refreshing watch !!Seeing BounPrem on my screen is just sheer delight ... i love their chemistry .. the way Boun was just so relaxed, making his acting look so natural.. he can do no wrong in my eyes.. lmao...

BounPrem Flops in First Leading Roles
Between Us is really gonna make or break them because they have yet to give us a leading role.. and I hope it delivers cause this is one of the worse BL's ever coming from a bl powercouple.. right next to thats my candy from kim and copter.despite them being extremely popular BounPrem have not yet proven they can successfully lead a show and EvenSun being their first leading role together isn't a good sign. I must say the shining stars of this show was the boxing couple.. their chemistry was electric and I look forward to seeing Lee with Frank in Love Syndrome the series. These two in that bedroom scene their eyes were telling the entire story and it's so far my favorite part of the entire series.. also Justice for Nemo and his lack of screentime.

I love it
As a bounprem fan it was amazing for what it is, this was made to be a fun goofy story with the love story as a bonus for the fans as we wait for between us, it wasn't made to be some epic love story just something to watch and get a laugh with a added love story, Watching boun try to be cold tp prem was amazing cause if your a fan you know he could never be that cold to him.finding out Arthid father and sun's fathers were best friends was shocking but the way it was hinted at made it have that rewatch value I love, them adding in suns hair color as a story plot cause Prem show up with the hair color not telling anyone he was dying it to give Sun a chance to stand out from other character's he play was more than I could ask for.
Over all I didn't find anything confusing like other are saying and I loved that Arthid and Sun had this fighting and flirting at the same time thing going on.

Very Convoluted
I basically watched this drama for 2 reasons:1. it's only 6 episodes long so if I don't like it I won't feel like I've wasted much of my time
2. Boun + Prem are the main characters.
I think this drama had a lot of potential, the overall premise is pretty good but the execution was off. There are too many characters and plot points and not enough time to explore them all. It feels like some of them were forced in for no reason, and their existence has no influence on the overall plot, you could take them out and nothing would change. By episode 3 I just started skipping through their parts because I actually had no attachment to them and felt like their existence was just there to bulk out the run time, which makes no sense when you're only making the drama 6 episodes long.
The writing is also kinda cringe, I had to pause a lot. I know it's not meant to be an ultra-serious drama, but apart from that it doesn't actually seem to know what it wants to be.
I wouldn't in good conscience recommend this show to anyone, but I don't regret watching it. However, I don't think it has much rewatch value, if any at all.

It could have been a different series from the others but…
Boun and Prem are my favourite couple (besides First and Khao) but from this serie i expected a lot more. The plot could have been innovative, a new and different story but it was poorly developed and i couldnt’ understand many topics.. There’s a love triangle between Thai, Mangkorn and Ashing? Thai spoke with Mek about a relationship, about his feelings but then? Mangkorn and Ashing become intimate and Thai did nothing. Was it just me imagining him talking about a relationship?Another thing i didn’t understand is the story between Sun and Athit.. in the 5th episode they argued all the time, sun wanted to escape but a simple kiss change everything? How it’s possible? How it’s possible that from one episode to another Sun and Athit end up falling in love and declare they are in a relationship? But above all: what does the story of the two of them as children have to do with it? They didn't mention it but it could have been a nice thing. I also didn't like the scene where san gets tied up and drugged.. why? That’s awful..
Despite all these negative sides I really appreciated the acting skills of the actors, I loved the chemistry and the looks between Mangkorn and Ashing and also of Sun and Athit.. probably if there were more episodes the series would have could develop differently. Special mention to the island they shot on, it was very beautiful.

No plot, no fortnite, no nothing
I watched this BL immediately after Between Us cause Prem and Boun have my whole heart. And I know without a doubt that if it wasn't for them I probably would never touch this messy, underdeveloped BL ever again. My main gripe with this BL isn't even the confusing/lazily explained story. I actually thought it was pretty interesting and had some good drama, just not played out well in execution due to lackluster and sloppy story progression.No, my main gripe with this BL is all the side stories. Sun and Athit felt extremely rushed with their romantic plotline and if they're the main couple then that tells you all you need to know about the side couples/plotlines. The boxing couple plotline ends with them kissing and then that's it, no aftermath or epilogue on how they deal with the boxer's father or where they go from there. Were just left to, assume everything goes well I guess.
Now I wouldn't say this BL isn't worth a watch. The plot does have its moments and gets pretty interesting a little further within the series. The setting of the beach was also absolutely gorgeous and I loved the summer and sun aesthetic of the characters. Overall this BL is something I would recommend to someone wanting a summery and beach vibe, just as long as they don't mind their BL with a hefty chunk of clunkiness.

sth cute for the girls
I, personally, did not take this show seriously as the show didn’t even take itself seriously to begin with. the show was prolly a lil sth studio wabi sabi put out as an appetizer, however mid it was, before between us. there were alot of plot holes, but it is expected because it is a 6 episode show. the cinematography was gorgeous though, i’ll give it that. i rate this high because i think of it as a filler show and not an actual serious body of work. i did enjoy seeing bounprem on screen! also the boxing couple were very cute!Was this review helpful to you?

Unforgivable
I don't know where to start. With a cast and scenery this good, how can the result be so unsatisfying? The main plot is interesting, but the holes make the story so strange. It was too forced to finish in episode 6.If it was designed from the start for only 6 episodes, the story could be more condensed, the first 2 episodes that tell Sun as a debt collector have too many unimportant scenes. The main reason why Sun's father lied and made Sun go to the island is also unclear, did he give Sun as collateral or what (or was it explained in the series that I missed it?).
Athit had recognized Sun from the beginning because of their promise as a child, but the process of Sun suddenly falling in love with Athit was made too fast. Though the process could have been made sweeter and made us smile supported by their setting on an island with such a good view.
With the chemistry between Boun & Prem, it's a shame that it's not utilized to the fullest.

Summer break fluff
I love Boun & Prem. Mainly because of their chemistry and acting. Well... Boun's acting that is. Prem is seriously lacking, or it must be the bad script/direction. It started getting better the moment Boun showed up. This boy is going places for sure. He is giving me Mew vibes with his looks (jawline!!) and charisma.The scenery and the interactions between the 3 dads saved the series for me. Without these it would have been Physical Therapy-level boring. And on top of that there were some really confusing bits.
What was the point of the youth miemory? Why was this not discussed at all? What was the point of all the s&m items in the room? I suspect it was solely meant to remind us of a few other (hit) bl-s, because there was no follow up of any kind.
The scenery takes a big part of the plus points for this series. Sea, sand, mountains, monkeys and coconuts. Paradise!
It was sweet, but not cute. It was nice but not good. Just something to kill summer holiday boredom.

What a disappointment
Absolutely watched this solely for BounPrem. After their spectacular acting in Between Us, this story did them dirty. I only watched to the end (fighting sleep) because of BP and the scenery. It really was filmed in a beautiful location! The younger cast all did a great job but the older gentlemen were just ridiculous. They were advised to act like clowns? And, I’m not really sure you can call this a BL. It was all too forced in the last episode. If BounPrem were not already an established couple, I would never have believed how they went from squabbling one minute to in bed together the next. Stupid story. Guess they didn’t have time with only 6 episodes. Hated his orange hair and black eyebrows. Prem is too cute for that.Was this review helpful to you?
