An excellent story with fun, friendship, and deep pain, and convincing performane by Chimon
This is an excellent story with fun, friendship, and deep pain. Chimon is convincing as Nack and really has to act here. (If you want him scarcely having to work, watch the lightweight My Precious.) Some reviewers seem to criticize this film because it is not the story that they want. But we are not writing the story. You may as well say Shakespeare should have written a different ending to Romeo and Juliet. I don't like it when a plot is completely improbable and characters act out of character, and a drama like that is usually badly written. This film is well written. The story is entirely believable. Sometimes love does not work out, sometimes mothers do not approve, sometimes people give mixed messages and let you down. Nack feels suicidal but thank goodness he has friends in his class. We already know those three boys are very good friends. The film leaves us with good advice for any young person who despairs. Also at the beginning there are lots of handsome boys, shorts, and swimming briefs, and the film does not pretend that kissing is the main thing teenage boys do.Was this review helpful to you?
Engrossing entertainment
This series is free currently (March 2024) on Dailymotion with EngSub.It's BL but mixed with drama, humour and music. It's very entertaining and was very easy to get hooked on from Ep 1.
The story is there to provide a vehicle for the relationships, comedy and music. The characters are interesting and likeable.
The settings are a school football club in Bangkok and an up-country village which the boys come from. This gives the opportunity for Esaan dialect and singing. The songs are very catchy and sometimes there is dancing as well. In the last episode they sing and dance to the title song. It's obvious that the cast genuinely enjoy it. There are at least three BL couples with friendship turning to love, but the two side couples get very little time. For the side couples it's mostly kept light and fluffy with lots of teasing and smiles. What is nice is that there is a lot of hugging and sympathy among the characters. In the later episodes the two leads are often hugging believably. One is tall, the other shorter. The shorter one Ruk (played by Champ) is very masculine and cute at the same time. This combination reminded me of Pun (played by Ryu), the lead boy in You Are My King 2. Both leads are probably a few years older than their characters, which is usual, but they both have noticeable facial hair (close shaved). Even so, the acting engages your sympathy and you want the boys to have a happy ending. You are not disappointed.

good series but only 4 episodes
Watched this series only because Plan was in it as the lead. There are no subtitles. The basic plot was fairly clear, but some of it was hard to understand. Ten's (Plan) father dies, he goes to stay with an uncle (?) who has a daughter. The daughter treats Ten horribly and her parents do not scold her. She deserves a whupped ass. Then for no apparent reason the daughter has a complete change of attitude and becomes friendly to Ten. Then Ten moves back to his own house (his father's house). Between 1 and 4 men in their thirties (uncles or friends of his father) move into Ten's house at different times and cause trouble for Ten. One in particular is a nuisance, then suddenly he too has a change of attitude and becomes serious about his responsibility to Ten. At the end Ten treats him as a substitute father. There are only 4 episodes, not 10. Or at least ony 4 are on YT and the end of the 4th episode looked like a happy ending for the whole series.Was this review helpful to you?
Horror and entertainment worth watching
I am amazed by the negative reviews. So far I have watched episodes 1-4 and 6. They are all good stories and well acted. I just finished watching Ep 6 and thought it was very well done. The intense character acting and physicality of the lead Tonhon, playing the very excitable boy Kong, was first class. He is very rude to adults, which I don't associate with Thailand. You get hints of the horrific truth part way through, which is a good technique used in many mystery stories and helps you to engage with the plot. I felt very invested in the story and the lead character. Ep 4, about bullying, has a horrifying unusual representation of a "spirit" at the end. Each story has a kind of moral message. There is nothing wrong with that. As with so many school and university plots, the young people deal with their problems, including supenatural ones, by themselves. Some young characters become suicidal. I feel in real life there are parents, teachers, and counsellors who can help, but I assume they are omitted or sidelined so as to allow the plot to play out.Was this review helpful to you?
