Wandee Goodday (2024)

 Wandee Goodday was quite light and funny, way less sexy than what I expected considering the novel, which I read for a few chapters. On the contrary of many BL Thai drama, the plot start from sex to end to love. Wandee "Dee" and Yoryak "Yak" are both light characters, well played by their actors. There is chemistry, there is sex, but above all, there is this comedic feeling that make it light without making it a parody. I continue to say, I think 12 episodes are a little long, 6-8 is for me the right lenght, but you can spend 10 hours with these guys without being bored. HEA. Heat Level: 5/6.

[image error]

Heat Level:
1/6: glances, caress, hugs, no kisses
2/6: kisses, closed mouth or camera angles
3/6: full kisses, clothes on
4/6: full kisses, some clothes off, hands above the waist, pants stay on
5/6: most clothes off, they have sex, but it’s masked, no sexy sounds
6/6: full nudity mostly hidden by camera angles, they have sex, sexy sounds
