Top Form

Topform is a standout example of how to adapt manga to live-action the right way. It captures the original's heart, humor, and intensity without losing anything in translation. The result is a stylish, emotionally grounded drama that respects its source while creating something that feels fresh and alive.

A big part of that success comes down to the casting. Boom and Smart are absolutely magnetic as Jin and Akin. They bring a dynamic energy and emotional depth to the screen that goes beyond what you'd expect. The chemistry is BEYOND anything you could imagine. Whether they're clashing or connecting, you feel every beat-and their performances alone are reason enough to watch. Is it odd to say someone looks beautiful when they cry? Watching Boom will make you rethink things.

The overall tone and pacing keep things tight and compelling, with just enough room for character growth and atmosphere. And even though the current season isn't finished yet, the world-building and emotional investment already scream for a Season 2, hell gimme Season 3!!!b Here's hoping we get it, because I'm not ready to let go of Jin & Akin.

My English is not good but I still want to write a few words because the movie touched my feelings.

I have never paid to support any drama but this is the first drama I have loved so much.

I bought the episodes, the actors acted so emotionally, they worked so well together.

I am obsessed with them, I am immersed in the emotions they bring, it makes me want to love them too.

I hope the drama becomes more famous so that everyone can see the efforts of the actors and the drama. They deserve to be famous.

Please give Smart and Boom more chances to act together. Their chemistry is great.

Looking forward to their upcoming movies, i'm willing to pay.

Top Form is an adaptation of the anime Dakaichi: I'm Being Harassed By the Sexiest Man of the Year

Who would have thought that it would be Thailand that would take on the series of this anime. What a great decision.

The director and the scriptwriters deserve a lot of praise. The latter in particular have managed to realise the essence of the story and cut out problematic parts of the story without changing the nature of the characters. Probs.

There were some sound issues in the first episode, but I'll generously look past that.

All in all, I have high hopes and expectations for this crew for future projects. They are brave and manage to tell a good story in an atmospheric setting.

But what would the best story be without the right actors? What can I say, Boom and Smart as Akin (Takato in the anime) and Jin (aka Junta) have literally stepped out of the anime. They are the perfect cast. Their acting with each other is natural, nuanced and very sensual. So much so that in some scenes you get the impression that you've caught them in flagrante delicto and hold your hands in front of your face, blushing. You will never be able to look at honey in the same way again. Honey has lost its innocence with the series....

But you can also feel the doubts, the insecurities, the injuries throughout their bodies. Both deliver a brilliant acting performance. The decision to orientate itself very closely to the anime visually means that some people may be distracted by Jin from time to time.

Personally, I really appreciate the fact that the visuals and story are so close to the original, but that the story is brought up to 2025 by not glamorising sexual assault. Despite everything, dark sides are also legitimately illuminated. We grow into their relationship with Akin and Jin and experience highs and lows. Will there be a happy ending?

This will be added at the end of the series.

I can only say that it is very much worth watching Top Form.

What a discovery and what potential for future BLs has been uncovered here. Props to the cast and crew!

I gave up on Thai BL dramas for five years because, back then, they didn't give me a sense of real plot, character depth, and sometimes felt really cringe.

I started watching this series without any expectations, just to kill time, but now I can't stop watching and keep looking forward to more. The plot is well-crafted, the character connections are built so naturally, and on top of that, I cried a lot - I never thought I would cry watching a BL series.

As the series progressed, the two actors conveyed emotions even better and acted very naturally. I truly hope the two of them will have the chance to work together again in another project because their chemistry is genuinely excellent.

As someone who has followed the Dakaichi manga and anime, I had high hopes for the Thai adaptation Top Form-and wow, it has exceeded every single expectation.

With 8 episodes out so far, I can confidently say that this series is nothing short of phenomenal. The casting is absolutely perfect, especially the main leads. Boom Raveewit as Akin and Smart as Jin share a chemistry so electrifying, it practically crackles through the screen. Every scene between them is beautifully paced, emotionally rich, and deeply immersive.

What sets Top Form apart from other BL series is how authentic it feels. The emotional build-up, the tension, the visuals, the humor, the NC scenes, and even the soundtrack-all blend seamlessly to create a compelling and cinematic experience. It's clear that the creative team had a strong vision from the start, and it's evident in every frame.

Special praise must go to Boom Raveewit, whose performance as Akin is nothing short of extraordinary. His ability to convey a spectrum of emotions through body language and micro-expressions is masterful. When he cries, you feel it-raw, powerful, and heartbreakingly real. And Smart is the perfect partner on screen, offering a grounded, magnetic presence that balances Boom's intensity. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with.

This series doesn't just do justice to the original manga-it elevates it. I find myself completely hooked, eagerly awaiting each new episode.

And to all my fellow BL-loving fangirls out there-RUN, don't walk to watch Top Form! This one isn't just a series, it's an experience. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll squeal from the sheer tension and softness. It has that magic. Trust me, you're not ready for this level of chemistry. Let's scream about it together!
