Honestly I can't believe we're still getting BL series this bad in 2026. This mini series runs about 7 to 8 episodes with a total runtime of just about an hour and it is so boring that I genuinely struggle to find the words. The actors are awkward, the story is as basic as it gets and there is almost nothing about this show worth saving. The makers do try to stir up some drama here and there but even that falls completely flat. Ho Won is a 23 year old university student who spots a man sitting alone at a gay bar and gets attracted to him. The man is Min U, a 33 year old who brushes Ho Won off immediately saying he's too young. Ho Won lies about his age and since he's made a bet with the bartender that he'll get this man home before the night is over, he switches tactics and eventually the two end up at Min U's place and sleep together. Despite being complete opposites in every way there's some kind of pull between them and they go on a couple of dates. But t...
Nicky is a young boy whose parents run a resort. But his decision to go and study in Bangkok doesn't sit too well with his father who wants him to join the family business. In the university, he has his childhood friend Saibua who is also now his girlfriend. But as he makes new friends, a guy Phat catches his eyes and before you know Phat makes him realize that Nicky might be attracted to men too. For a few days Nicky tries to maintain a dual life till Saibua catches two men in action. Nicky breaks up with Phat and professes love to Saibua promising to change. Four years later, Nicky is now a model with a substantial portfolio, and it feels he has warmed up and accepted that he is gay and is happy with his life. One one shoot he meets a guy Em and the duo son fall in love and move in together. When Nicky's mother gets sick, he rushes back home but his father is even more furious now because of his sexuality. There he meets a girl Cherry, who despite knowing about Nicky's sexuality, flirts with him and even proposes marriage. Since she is getting old and Nicky's parents want him to have a family, he agrees to the situation. The film ends with Nicky and Cherry meting Em and explaining him the situation that even though Nicky is marrying a girl, it's Em , whom he really loves.
The film is strictly ok. I don't think there is a message or anything here but it is more like a snapshot from the life of a guy, who and how he dealt with his coming out situation. Many parts of the show were relatable. For a person who may have not have his sexual inclination towards same sex, sometimes all it needs is one experience that can change things. And I personally know many people in this boat. So I am not surprised that it is through Phat that Nicky realizes his own sexuality. I would have liked to understand what happened with Saibua and Phat though. The second part was a bit confusing. Sure Em and Nicky are in love but the whole premise of a rich, well studied and seemingly intelligent girl wants to knowingly marry a gay guy is beyond me. Maybe this has to do with some local customs and traditions where being married is important for women even though it is an unhappy marriage. The actors all did a good job and I have to say that the actress playing Cherry is probably one of the better actors I have seen in the many Thai BL shows so far. She seemed far more natural than the usual slight over the top acting that we normally see. Also, how can I not mention the actor playing Em. (His P'Dean from the other show is still so fresh in my mind and every time I see him, that's all I can think of and I struggle to just take that image out of my mind). Jokes aside, this was strictly an ok story, with no great shakes. (5/10)

I would have wanted to watch the real wife and boyfriend point of vue, that could have added a lot.
Can I say Nicky is living my dreamed bisexual life when I was younger and lost in my sexuality ^^ And it conforts me on how I thought it was wrong (for my life, no judging at all on his).
lol
