GMM One’s ‘Cause You’re My Boy (2018) is also in a school setting where two male students (who were friends previously) reunited and started a serious relationship.

Drake is Mork and Frank is Tee in ‘Cause You’re my Boy (My Tee). It could have been a hit, except that there are plenty of confusion in both plot and character development.

The 12-episode series lacked the spark enjoyed by Love by Chance, but the actors are nonetheless promising. Frank Thanatsaran Samthonglai is very photogenic but needs acting lessons. The other lead, Drake Sattabut Laedeke, also needs acting lessons as well! Supporting cast Phuwin Tangsakyuen and Neo Trai Nimtawat were both underutilized. There is also a story between these two, and the series only scratched the surface – pity!

No fireworks here and there is plenty of confusing dialogue and plotting (with subplots). Some characters should have been left on the editing room floor permanently for lack of relevance.

My biggest complaint is how both parents appear to be ‘confused’ about their sons’ relationships. Surprisingly, it was Frank’s Mom, a well-educated but highly-strung parent who ‘condemns’ his son’s gay relationship. No one is quite sure if the affair was actually ‘consummated’. Unless they kissed and had sex outside the camera view.

This is one of Thailand’s most insignificant BL-themed series for me.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
