GMMTV's GL Experience is Awesomeness
Ongsa’s (Milk Pansa) high school life will never be the same when she carelessly wishes her cute and cheerful classmate Sun (Love Pattranite) “sweet dreams” using the Instagram name Earth. Unfortunately, the masculine name leads Sun to believe she’s talking to a guy, but Ongsa doesn’t want to lose the opportunity to talk to her. She chooses to keep it a secret and go on talking to Sun as Earth. "23.5″ is a really engaging coming of age drama which reminds us of our first crush, first love and all those beautiful feelings that are reminiscent of those memories. After watching the first three episodes of the show, I became hooked immediately and honestly can’t wait for more. The appealing story line coupled with the irresistible and engaging cast members make it impossible to skip the episodes. It’s not a fresh story line but the way that story has been executed is so cute and endearing that I was giggling all along while watching.Read the complete article here-

Boy meets boy, boy antagonizes the said boy to get his attention in ways the audiences can relate to and that draws the viewer in; creating the desire to know why boy one is teasing boy two in ways that can either be violent or cute. It’s a simple formula, one that Thailand web series or television shows seems to treat like a tradition with the recent crop of series that have been coming out every month since “Love By Chance” elevated the genre to worldwide popularity. It’s a simple enough situation which makes the 2024 release “Deep Night The Series” iteration of the situation very foreboding.Read the complete article here-
