23.5

Crazy how much I love this silly show. I rarely submit reviews for mainstream productions; never have for a YouTube serial. But here I am... feeling a need to spread the word. If you want an injection of feel-good, take a shot of this show on YouTube.

So much is absolutely absurd, but all the characters are so lovable, and the dialog is surprisingly well written, sometimes even deep. And of course the best part is the off the charts chemistry with my new favorite girl-girl couple. I look forward to the releases every Friday, but try not to watch them right away because then the wait starts over. There will be a void when it ends! I hope they keep churning out these charming GL romances.

I can't stress this enough, this is the Thai GL with the greenest flag characters ever. Not just the main characters but all of them. The way this series just makes you feel good while subtly tackling sensitive issues in a comforting way is incredible. The character development is also well portrayed. The only thing lacking in this show is that it ended :( I need more. But nevertheless, it truly deserves more recognition. Ultimate comfort show. 😭

It's too late to wish for a season 2, but I'm hoping the Thai GL industry creates more healthy shows like this. Dramas are good, but sometimes we just need a feel-good series to watch when we need comfort. Until then, I'll just keep rewatching 23.5.

This a goofy, comforting and sweet coming-of-age story that will make you smile from beginning to end.

All the different side stories bring out a number of important dynamics (in a pure and non-toxic way) from friendships and family support, to intimacy and neurodevelopment. The also allows for many different kinds of love (especially amongst the different girls/women) to be explored. That truly stands out!

The chemistry between the two main leads is simply outstanding. The two actresses bring you on an emotional journey like no other. Every single interaction is packed with emotion and tenderness. Shyness, embarrassment and angsts are all beautifully portrayed. Truly 10/10 there! Intimate scenes deserves a special praise as well for being pure and a fairly realistic representation of teenage love. They showed the love many queer women wished they had experienced back in high school in a very sweet and tender way.

In hindsight, I wish it had been a longer show. Throughout the episodes there were instances where I felt like time was taken away from the main storyline. It was also somewhat imbalanced. The two main characters (Ongsa and Sun) were not explored to the same extent. It felt more like a coming of age of Ongsa. While showing growth, the very last episode was overly predictable and lacked the emotional depth of previous episodes. The usage of voiceover was soothing but more could have been done there.

Overall, the depiction of first love is as beautiful as it is clumsy. I loved the casting and all the different subtle references and the little details (from outfits and makeup to lighting) that the production team deployed. I genuinely wish shows like this had been around when i was in high school.

This awaited Milk-Love series was disappointing. They had better story and characterization in 'Zero Photography'. I believe Milk has the aura of chic youth while Love is versatile. Their charm is undeniable if not for the awfully long screenplay. I am sure P'Aoff has left no efforts in giving GMM its first official Gl but P'Fon failed to relay the torch. I found a lot of international fans squealing over them owing to its access on N*TFL! X yet that can't be a reason to declare these actors as the best ones in town (listen to my perspective first Muv Muv) I understand your need to compete with contemporary agencies but at least strengthen your strategies first.

Clearly there are no plot twists, no breath taking instances, no sensual gazes, no intensity in character sketch. P'Fon, why don't you tour a co-ed Mathayom to learn how adolescent girls are in real? Did Gem and Forth leave this project because their manager thought it was underwhelming to work as supporting characters in a Gl?

Please stop forcing everyone to sing and dance. Its not your GMM family annual outing. Let the capable ones do the job, properly. Was love unwell during the shoot? She looked drained with those dark circles. Ku khao jai na orange and blue mean a lot to all of us, te ye leau.... Aylin: "too much baking powder turns a cake bitter, P' manut anwaykaar" When can i get Namtan-Milk?

I love how it was written! Each characters on this show was given a background story in every episode. I like how it was not mainly focused on the main lead characters, but rather the other characters was also given a chance for their story-arch which contributes to the growth of the main lead couple.

The story line was not cringy and awkward, which makes the actors extremely great for delivering their roles. I also love how every issue was tackled like it is happening in reality, such as the difficulty of Ongsa's coming out, the situation where Sun and Ongsa are gonna be on an LDR, the struggles of Alpha as the eldest child, the harsh and sad bullying story of Eylin, the family differences of Sun and Ongsa, the hopes of having an "accepting" parents of both Sun and Ongsa regarding their sexual preferences, and how to handle each other when you are in a relationship. And despite this taboo issues, the writers still manage to instill some comedic skits! Not to mention the "right" background music and sounds which makes the comedy so funny and the romance that will surely makes you feel giddy and have butterflies in your stomach.

Overall, it's a-must watch Thai series!
