Basic Plot Summary

Mew had to live with his grandmother because his father had moved away, at first he was reluctant to stay…but he learns to deal with it, and he’s actually quite happy where he is.
One day in school, Mew is washing up a painting pallet in the boy toilets, when he’s attacked by some of his classmates. Tong happened to be around and saved him, getting beaten up himself.
From then on Tong and Mew became really close friends.
One day Tong’s sister Tang goes on vacation with some friends….and she never comes back. Tong’s Mother, Sunee accepts that Tang wont return…but his father, Korn hasn’t. Tong’s family decide to move away. Korn has been drinking a lot, and is getting a little depressed.
A few years later, Mew is in a band as the songwriter and singer. The band’s manager hires a young woman to help August Band, who happens to look a lot like June.
The two old friends meet again as Tong was trying to buy their sold out album. They realise how much they’ve missed each other and start seeing more of each other.

This story is about unrequited, young love, family drama and tragedy

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

Its a really cute story, I love Mew and Tong’s friendship/relationship.
I loved how they both realised that they cared very much for one another, and no one was disgusted or angry or whatever!! For the first time ever in a BL movie!!!
I really hate stupid mothers who ruin perfectly adorable relationships!!! Sunee you suck!! But at the end she was alright and actually really lovely.

I really like Ying as a character, i think she’s is completely insane!
She kinda reminded me of myself….maybe that’s why i like her….

I’m so glad non of the characters actually started dating her, that…was such a relief! Although Tong’s girlfriend/ex-girlfriend was little irritating.

What really sucks, is that we never find out is June is actually Tang!!!
But i think she is

OH MY GOD, I died when Tong said “I cant be with you as your boyfriend….but that doesn’t mean i don’t love you”
AND HE GIVES HIM THE NOSE TO THAT TOY THING HE GAVE MEW WHEN THEY WERE KIDS!!!!!!
Even though that was a really disappointing outcome, IT WAS SO ADORABLE!!!!!

Its a really lovely story!
But the BL-ness takes a while to get going, watch it for the film not for what you hope to happen 🙂

I rate:
7/10

Also…Thai is such an awesome language!!!
I think that Mew when he was younger was so adorable! ^~^
anyway…..
