Just another toxic show.
I really don't get why they keep doing this. There's almost no reasons to watch this show at all.The relationship between Fiat and Leo is really toxic, and they try to make it look good somehow but there's just too much.
The only reason to watch this show is Leon, he is literally the only character that makes this show worth watching. It almost seems incredible how a character constructed like him is part of this Mame univerese... But he doesn't even have a nice ending so... is it really worth it?
There was a lot of unnecessary scenes. Some of the "drama" scenes like crying and stuff were too long and boring.
I liked Ja's performance, but not First's. Most of their scenes were kinda cringey, and I really couldn't see too much chemistry between them most of the time.
Smart and James were much better and they really had me rooting for them, I'd like to see them on a better series tbh.

Just no.
I really do not understand why people enjoy this show.It's too problematic, has too many toxic storylines, kinda confusing and with no sense at all. Acting was ok-ish but we need to keep in mind some actors where minors during the filming so... yeah.
The problem I have with this show is that they tried to romanticize toxic relationships, jelousy, incest?!!! and even raping??? like come on... just don't.
I even watched the second season hoping it would become better but it's honestly worse.
If you can, just don't watch this show.
It's a shame because most of the actors in this series are great, they really do deserve better roles in better shows...

Perfect amount of fluff and angst.
This is literally the perfect story brought into a series. It has everything you could look for. Fluff, angst, romanticism, drama, etc.The plot and storyline, even if it's a bit confusing at first, it's really good and well constructed. The characters fall perfectly into line and everything that happens makes sense during the whole series.
The chemistry and acting of the actors is also amazing, which gives the show a great value. There's no cringey scenes and the intimate ones are well constructed and very touching.
It has perfect sceneries, great plot twists and amazing character developments.
It's literally the perfect soulmate au we've all read about.
The only thing for me now is wait for the second season, which will have the side couple as the main roles and I'm really excited about it since WinTeam were my fave characters. :)

My favourite.
This is hands down my favourite Thai BL. I've rewatched it multiple times and I never grow tired of it.Plot line is well constructed and believable, acting is on point, not too many cringey scenes, nice side characters, great chemistry between OffGun and the rest of the cast, etc.
Khai and Third are characters you can see yourself in, specially Third. Someone who has fallen in love with his best friend and just tries to keep it cool before him, but breaks down when he's alone.
I just really enjoy all the characters developements, not only on the main cast, but also on the supporting roles, such as Bone and Two.
Also the production and the image of the drama is really good. All the sceneries are really pretty.
It's just the perfect slice of life, and the movie they released later was the cherry on top.

Ratings too high.
I really think a lot of people have watched this drama just for the spiciness of it.Plot is problematic, most of the characters are problematic, it has unnecessary drama and it talks about topics on a way you should never talk about them.
The only thing remarkable of this series is Mew's and Gulf's chemistry and acting. They are amazing together and I really think they deserve main roles on a better constructed series.
I didn't even bother to watch the second season (7 years of love) because it was just a bunch of making out scenes with no plot at all.

Plot?
Why R U? is an ok drama if you keep in mind that the plot does not make sense at all.The storyline is confusing, and I did understand it was due to what happened with COVID, but changing main roles mid-series was just a big no no.
Original main roles where Saifah and Zon. The story starts with Zon and his sister, and even if the plot was already confusing, it was nice and fun. But since they had fewer and fewer screen time, Tutor and Fighter became the main couple. It didn't make much sense to me because their story was not that main-role deserving. Just a lowkey "enemies" to lovers, tons of making out and bed scenes.
Even if the chemistry between Zee and Saint was amazing, and all of their scenes together were nice to watch, Jimmy and Tommy were just top tier. Specially their scenes towards the end of the series.
There's no doubt all of them are amazing actors, I just think this drama was a bit messy and confusing, but I enjoyed it anyways.
I recommend watching it just for the sake of SaifahZon's story because they're literally the sweetest. You can also watch the mini-series the made afterwards so you know more about them! :)

Angsty but not too much.
This is the first BL I've ever watched and I feel that if I have written this review when I just finished watching it, it would be a bit better.I don't really remember my thoughts and feelings while watching it, but I do remember finishing with a bittersweet sensation.
I did like it, but having seen everything that I have nowadays, I don't feel like this drama is one of my faves anymore.
Acting was ok, the chemistry between the actors kinda lacking sometimes tho... but overall it was really nice for the first BL I've seen.
I would recommend watching this drama anyways, specially if you like that "forbidden love" angst.
