This is a trainwreck
Where do I even begin? This show has no other redeeming qualities than the cute shirtless boys you'll get to see every now and then (and admittedly: there some VERY cute boys in this show). There is no storyline worth mentioning. Seriously... Who wrote this dribble? There is no general direction to the story, there is not even one memorable conversation between any of the characters, characters are introduced that have no connection to any of the other protagonists, there is no point and no conclusion to most of the scenes. The two main couples get together as a result of rape... Furthermore the acting is mostly cringe. There is no chemistry whatsoever between any of the characters, which makes everything that happens all the more unbelievable. And then there is the incessant product placement. I can understand the need for monetization and I can usually see passed it. We see this form of advertising in most of the Asian BL shows, usually they are introduced discretely. This show, however, seems to be more of a continuous series of product placement with a very lightweight storyline woven through, to the point where it start to have an adverse effect. By the third episode I started developping an absolute dislike of the products that were advertized. Avoid this show. It is a complete and utter waste of time.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
The acting isn't really on point (especially at the kiss scenes you can really see how fake it is) but I still love the cast and also the chemistry between the couples.
The music is just perfect and I'm in live with the OSTs.
All in all, I love this series a lot and the production is really good. That's why I would definitely rewatch it sometime when I can't find any other BL movie or series to fullfill my thirst....
Obsessed with Make it right and waiting for the secon season!:D

This show is a spin-off of Love Sick: The Series but BETTER. Why better? It has a lot more well-written and thought-out scenes that will truly touch your heart. It's also not filled with as many side stories or unrequited, angst-riddled love.
Many other dramas will skip scenes, fade to black, or use some other plot device to end the opportunity for the couple to have a deep discussion about their love, their relationship, and where it's headed. NOT this series. The writers lovingly devote ample amounts of precious screen time to the couples as they openly discuss their problems as adults (even though they are high schoolers). It also doesn't take 2 seasons of awkward moments, fights, misunderstandings, and such for the couple to finally accept that they love each other. This series puts them together early on and then shows us how they deal with challenges and grow together as a couple.
I'm not an overly emotional guy but even I had to bring tissue. Many of these scenes are just so very tender, you will cry. Some of the lines uttered are so unbelievably cute and romantic it just tugs at my heart. It also helps that the actors are very handsome.
This series is not perfect though. People complain about the music, well, for the most part, it's the right song at the right time. Also, a lot of plot devices are reused. I couldn't count how many times someone tripped, fell, or was otherwise injured and it allowed a moment for the couple to bond or see the other for the first time. Some plots were a bit juvenile but I chalk that up to this being a high school drama. Product placement is contrived and each episode ends with a "Side Story" as they call it, basically a skit about some product from the advertisers. You may opt to skip these skits, but there are a couple of them that are so funny I would recommend not skipping them. Lastly, I'd recommend watching Love Sick: The Series as characters from Make It Right live in the world that Love Sick built.
TL;DR: Real relationships, real problems, real solutions that the guys work through showcasing the love and deep affection they have for each other and their commitment to their future together. You will grow to love these characters. I beg of you, let's all please support this show so we can have many more seasons!!!

This drama follows the romance between several couples, but the main one is Tee and Fuse. Their story is complicated and at times unclear/inconsistent, but overall it will make you doki doki for sure. Besides the nonsensical love triangle that really doesn't track with the very first scene of episode one, their story is fine. Tee deserves better than Fuse. Now onto the couple that really matters. Frame and Book. The start of their story is barely consensual and uncomfortable af, but soon you will discover that their love is all that matters in this world. I hate that the writers gave them that start. But in the end, Book and Frame are everything and more.
Wit, Es and LookMo are stereotypical side characters, obsessed with porn and providing support as well as a lot of heckling from the sidelines. It's hard not to talk about season 2 here.
I absolutely love Rodthang and Nine. In season 1. Because that is what we are talking about.
There is also some FEMALE representation this season that matters. I mean, I'm here for the BL but I seriously appreciate the shout out to girls in this series.
There is plenty of romance, bromance, and sex in this series. Lots of drama, complex characters and some seriously genuine connection.
Some of the kisses are not real, which I read was because of the cast's varied ages. Whatever, boys, press your mouths together, it's all the same to me.

STORY: See, the story wasn't that.. original. It wasn't bad, but there wasn't actually a plot to follow. The whole drama is about those cute school boys who fall in love (maybe for the first time) and how they struggle with their relationships. The drama is actually very accurate, school life and friendships are portrayed realistically. But for the romance part in the series, there isn't really a story line. Which doesn't mean that the series is bad, because it's definitely not! Just. There could be more story/plot (but maybe I just expect too much).
Also, there are some things missing, I guess. There are many more characters (like the sister of Fuse and her best friend, Yok, etc.) which had some issues going on but it was never explained, and they were completely ignored by the main story (maybe there's more to watch in the second season, I'll have to find out)
ACTORS/CHARACTERS: Okay, listen up, the actors were so wonderfully cute! I really enjoyed watching them. The dynamic between the characters were really authentic, the friendships were believable and overall very interesting. Also the two main couples really brought across that they were in love but also struggling with their relationship at the same time. It's unfortunately still common for homosexual people in Asia to hide their sexual orientation and relationships from society, so the fear of being openly in a gay relationship (or being openly gay, that is) is present, but not depressingly. The actors also got the longing and/or loving staring going on, you won't believe it. The facial expressions and the gestures were really careful and soft, just like a highschool student would behave.
OVERALL: the story wasn't really... interesting, maybe because there wasn't a story to begin with. But the acting really made up to it, the actors were wonderful, but - I have to put it bluntly - the kissing scenes were SHIT. I mean, in asian dramas, the kissing scenes always differ from what western culture is used to (and I actually enjoy those slow and careful kisses in asian dramas), but in this series, the kissing scenes were really bad. Most of the times you could see that they didn't even come close to one another (even kisses on the cheeks were not acted out, I mean?).
All in all, the series is cute, but it would have had much more potential, and I probably won't re-watch it, because there isn't anything re-watch-able, but it was certainly not bad! I recommend it if you're searching something cute with minimal angst/drama, a believable dynamic between the friends and family members, and some cute characters!

Des romances lycéennes
Je viens de finir de voir la série et voici donc mon ressenti.J'ai regardé il y a quelque temps la série Lovesick dont j'avais eu un très mauvais ressenti et je l'avais considéré très durement. Par la suite, on m'a expliqué de nombreuses choses sur la série en question et les séries BL thaïlandaises en général, comme par exemple que Lovesicks avait reçu beaucoup de censure car elle était à elle seule fondatrice du BL en Thaïlande et que sans elle, les autres n'existeraient pas. J'ai donc regardé Make It Right avec toutes ses connaissances nouvelles à l'appui et j'ai aussi fait d'autres recherches pour appuyer mon propos.
La série a cela de bien qu'elle emploie de vrais étudiants qui ont réellement l'âge qu'ils jouent et cela apporte d'avantage de réalisme à la réalisation. Par contre, je m'étonne aussi, comme beaucoup d'après ce que j'ai pu lire comme commentaires, du décalage entre les scènes : on couche ensemble dès le premier moment mais jamais on ne s'embrasse autrement que sur la joue et encore, on s'effleure à peine. Encore une fois, il s'agit de lycéens, donc bon, et puis on ne voit pas non plus les scènes de galipettes, c'est juste que je trouve assez rigolo de passer d'un extrême à l'autre de cette façon.
Je parlais de la série Lovesick au début de mon avis car, même si Make It Right me parait plus "rentre dedans" ( sans mauvais jeu de mot ), on sent le fantôme de Lovesick planer sur toute l'œuvre, mais dans le bon sens du terme ! On retrouve les thèmes identiques de la difficulté d'admettre une sexualité différente de celle imposée par les normes sociales, de la découverte de l'amour sans oublier la vie avec sa bande de copains et les interactions des uns avec les autres.
J'ai trouvé qu'il y avait peut-être moins de moments hyper forts ou de punchlines inoubliables comme il y en avait dans Lovesick d'ailleurs mais la série m'a bien plus tout de même et j'avoue avoir regardé l'entièreté des épisodes assez vite.
Une fois n'est pas coutume, je vais parler de musique, je dois avouer, qu'à part quelques OST, je ne prête pas beaucoup attention aux musiques, du moment qu'elles accompagnent joliment les œuvres. Mais là, pardon ! Chaque chanson colle parfaitement à la situation, c'est extraordinaire et ça n'a fait que faire grimper la série dans mon estime.
J'aimerai également parler des couples qui forment l'histoire de la série : le couple principal, ou plutôt je devrais dire le "trouple" car, clairement, Jean fait bien partie de l'équation avec Fuse et Tee. J'ai trouvé cette intrigue intéressante bien que je doive avouer que je n'apprécie pas du tout le personnage de Fuse dans le sens où, il ne sait pas choisir entre Tee et Jean, sauf quand il est seul avec Tee bien sûr. Il le fait clairement passer après Jean et ensuite se vexe parce que Tee prend un peu de distance pendant UN jour, UNE seule fois. Il devrait réaliser qu'il n'est pas le seul à éprouver des sentiments, je le trouve particulièrement égoïste.
Coup de gueule mis à part, passons au couple préféré de tous, moi y compris : Book et Frame. Ils sont adorables et trop mignons, j'ai adoré voir leur évolution tout au long des épisodes et comprendre ce qui les a modelé dans leur vie pour qu'ils soient ainsi. Par contre, petite note au passage :
alors, je ne m'inclus pas du tout dans ce groupe car je sais que les mœurs thaïlandaises ( voire asiatiques ), et surtout celles de cette époque pas si lointaine, ne voient pas les choses comme nous : je parle ici de consentement. Ce que j'ai pu remarquer c'est que pour des séries comme TharnType, ou plus récemment mais taiwanaise, HISTory 4 : Close to You, tout le monde hurlait au viol dans les commentaires, menant la série, voir même les gens qui ont pu travailler dessus, au pugilat. Et là, pour Make It Right, c'est partout : "Oooooh, il sont tous mignons", "ils sont adoraaaables" ( et croyez moi, j'en ai lu des commentaires, un paquet ! ).
Donc ça passe crème ?
Expliquez moi les gens s'il vous plaît !
ATTENTION léger SPOIL
Pourtant, on est bien d'accord, à aucun moment durant la nuit où il couchent ensemble on n'entend Book dire "oui", c'est même grandement le contraire ! Après, je les trouve tout aussi mignons et c'est pas ça qui a coupé mon plaisir de voir l'évolution de ce couple.
FIN DU SPOIL
En définitive, je dirai que j'ai hâte de voir la saison 2 et 3 pour suivre la suite des aventures de tous ces personnages et surtout voir comment évoluent leurs relations mais également si la façon de filmer et de réaliser changera selon un environnement différent.
Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis

The story revolves around these two typical high school Thai students, Fuse and Tee surrounding a bunch of friends who are somehow sexually active. It underlines how hard a person can have, the lowest they can get after a hearthbreak and they just want ease it off their mind. This where mainly story revolves because this youth drama shows the possibility of what a person do can after a bad break-up and, what they can potentially do. However, this also means sexually confused at time which reflects us back to the story as these characters got to this teenage point where confusion strikes. They are hiding their inner self in front of other people because of public criticism and different point of view. But, this drama outlines how society are accepting nowadays in regards with homosexuality as it is becoming more welcomed in the society. Likewise, it did not just applied to the main casts, but in the general casts in the whole series which is good as they exposed as much people as they want generally.
The drama surrounds itself with homosexuality (gays and lesbians) which is not bad, because to be honest, their affection towards each other are often more sincere; it was shown practically on the whole series of how can like be developed into something more if you actually like the person your with and you’ll rather have that someone than actually being in a situation where you cannot take. Therefore, the story line is really simple and clear for the viewers there are no misunderstandings portrayed during the whole series; because the director actually shown what they want to give to their viewers that implies a good understanding of their target audience.
Casts/Acting
The casts chosen for this drama are actually good, even though some of them are amateur, but in general they are actually good. In reality, portraying a homo character have its difficulties, especially if you are straight. This suggests like it will be a challenge for them to portray a character that might be not suited for them, but they actually performed and execute their acting skills quite. Furthermore, the collection of people in the series are very good, there are actually no bad actors, they are just mainly amateurs, but we can look forward on seeing them more producing good series such as this.
Conclusion
The drama will have a high-rewatch factor for me in general. The reason for this is because I enjoyed the drama is general. The couples the directors picked are very cute, however, there are cringy yet very cheesy lines there where you can actually sense the romantic vibe between each couples.
However, I quite like to see some more towards the end, but personally I think they just rushed it as they could have developed some more, as the series is very good when portraying what can peer pressure do to you, the stage of confusion and even emotional depressions which where the real stands. Therefore, the drama is very good, just a shame no further development made and, the cliffhanger which I know some people get annoyed about. Additionally, the use of the background music is very synthesising because it actually harmonised with the whole scenario and actually scenes.
P.S. I have not read the novel for this drama, henceforth I am stating person opinion in regards on what I felt an think about the whole series.

KEEP IN MIND THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW AND THIS IS MY OPINION NOT YOURS SO PLEASE DONT LET THIS REVIEW EFFECT YOU.The story was a major Oof for me.
Book and Frame, my favorite I understood everything about that relationship and there weren’t that many falling outs. I loved the acting to me, but some might disagree but for me they are the cutest. (lol their relationship started with rape)
Now Tee and Fuse, Their storyline sucks there we sooooo many falling outs and their ending was not great at all it sucked, and it ended too quick and never gave me enough closure like how Book and Frame’s story did.
Yok, what the frick did that storyline have to do with anything?
Nine and Rodtang, their story was cute but like Tee And Fuse their relationship did not give me any closure at all, but it was very cute
Now come to the Fing and Mook section, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF WHO THE FRICK WRITES THE STORYLINE CAUSE THAT WAS THE MOST DISSSSSSAPOINTING RELATIONSHIP EVER.
Mo, I feel sooooooo bad about that break up tho, soooo sad
Now I personally felt like one more episode could have wraped the series up but that’s just my opinion
The Acting / Cast
I felt like the acting was pretty on point idk what everyone else is talking about but I do have low standards in the acting part.
Music
I think the music was pretty except for some parts but pretty good either way
Rewatch Value
I think if I ever rewatch this series I would watch for Book And Frame only.
The actors are soooooo precious and I love them
But please do not let this review effect your opinion and don’t stop watching pls

I really like that all BL couples were different and they had their pros and cons and the story wasn't just happy and fluffy without any bad things happening cause it showed something that could actually happen in real life cause as all we know in life everything isn't just happy and to build a healthy relationship u have to go through some fights and misunderstandings.
Story: It was really good. It showed some real life issues and some fantasy issues as well. It was original and something we have never seen before. It did remind me of Love Sick The Series at first but the more you watch it the more you understand that they are completely different stories.
Acting/Cast: Really good actors. what I liked the most is that most of them are actually still in hight school (like Boom, Peak and Ohm for example) at the series filming moment and they were able to show how it really is. The acting was good but they can always get better. Fuse's and Tee's relationship was always kind of awkward and I can't even count how many times I slammed my laptop closed just because it was a little bit awkward to watch them cause it seemed that they are comfortable at all even though they would have to be. but after all the cast is really good.
Music: I can't really comment on it cause I don't really listen to music in the series but I guess it was good cause there wasn't really a moment where I would say that the music is a bit of.
Rewatch value: I would rewatch it for sure. it isn't too long and they didn't put in some unneeded details. everything was made the way it had to be and was no ned for more than that in the first season. MIR is same as SOTUS: The Series. I can't watch it just one time. you jus have to watch it more than once to fully understand the whole story. plus the second time still gives you all the feelings as the first time you watch it.
Overall: all I can say is that this is a really good show for anybody any age but I would recommend it to more teenagers and young adults as the show does have some 'interesting' scenes. but after all I really enjoyed it and was really happy that they have 2nd season as well.

It's okay. I liked the very short storyline between the drum major and the other guy. For the main couple, I just didn't like that the guy only broke up with his girlfriend at the end like bruh. The player guy and the studious guy's storyline was also quite cute. I skipped the storyline of the gay person who is being pushed by his mother to be straight because I didn't like the pool scene haha the kissing scenes in this show are so innocent like waaat overall it's an okay show 6.5/10 it's pretty cliche and all but still fun to watch + they are really cute together, especially when they're acting all bashful lol ¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
