Wandee Goodday (2024)

I love shows like this!

I’ve been trying to find a feel good sweet lovestory with just enough drama and this is perfect for me! it has great casting, good acting and such a sweet and interesting story.

I’ll admit that it’s not a ‘crazy’ story with major plot twists and stuff like that, but personally I don’t really like too much drama cuz it gives me anxiety haha~ so this is actually perfect. I love the chemistry between the main couple, but what shocked me most was how good of a chemistry Oyie and Cher had (I’m usually a sucker for the side couples as long as it’s not a ‘forced’ relationship, so you can imagine I loved them).

all in all I’d say if you enjoy a good story with a lot of sweet talk and good vibes I recommend you watch this. I don’t usually leave a detailed review so just know I’m serious?they are so cute!

turn off your brain so you can enjoy it

I smiled and laugh a lot watching this, really enjoyed! I loved! But it is kinda not so good though, I don't want say it's bad but it's kinda yk. I felt really nice like I needed to watch something like this just enjoy some cliche and stupid content. Watched all episodes in two days so what I have to say first is: as much as I loved and enjoyed each episode this show is not very good or very well done, There are some flaws that cannot be ignored so to me 7.5/10 it's an ok note, some people make this seems worse than it is.

What I loved the most:
- very fun to watch when you need relax and not think about anything
- actors in they 30 years old, love it.
- main couple has good chemistry and funny dinamic
- we have one assexual character!! (despite not having been worked on)
- our boy Yak is a bisexual!
- cute and ridiculous at the same time
- cringe but not the kind that makes you wanna die
- HPV vaccine awareness campaign!!!!!!!

What I didn't like:
- that bizarre parallel edit of the nsfw scene of the second couple mixed with the main couple (ep 6 or 7) what the hell was that? WEIRD!
- Wandee didn't had a trauma development. He was afraid of cross the street, seeing some memories of a woman being hit (?) by a car, we saw theses scenes few times then nobody talks about that. Wandee didn't talked about that, so what's the reason for that???
- A character that nobody cares about is suddenly a bad guy just to slow down Yak, there was no need for Taem to be harassed.
- Bad direction and edition, some characters seems to be off idk
- Didn't talked well enough about assexuality and made seems that it's about don't like sex.
- Dr. Ter. Just hate everything about him, that dude was lacking and was poorly written character

Despite everything I had a great time and would recommend it. I'm in love with Yoryak.

Really entertaining despite the seemingly ridiculous plot

What seemed like a trashy show turned out to be exceptionally enjoyable.

After the first few episodes, the story starts to get a little (…actually extremely) messy. The lines between friendship, FWBs and lovers start getting horrendously blurred.

We could have foreseen all the problems from a mile away – but despite this, the show is actually really entertaining and the male leads have an irresistibly cute relationship.

Everyone around them can tell that Wandee and Yoryak are both whipped for each other, but they refuse to be honest with themselves. Great and Inn’s chemistry made all the difference in what would have otherwise been a trashy, B-grade flick.

Wandee Goodday is enjoyable not because of a compelling storyline or superb acting. It’s the chemistry of Great and Inn that carries the entire series across 12 episodes.

Tldr; I like it. ❤️

First, it has a very good start! The first episodes are really captivating. What I like:

- ofc, the chemistry between the characters
- the sexuality of the characters is clear from the start ?
- the established second pair. Oh my, I really love YeiCher relationship so much.
- finally there is an asexual character in GMM (after the asexual character in Cherry Magic was removed) ??
- discussing about safe sex even if the story is about FWB (including about vaccines)
- Yoryak didn't magically get rid of his trauma, but because he also went to a psychiatrist for therapy.
- discussing marriage equality

Overall I enjoyed the series, only the late episodes started to drag and was boring for me (I skip so many scenes). But it closed with a very beautiful ending, so okay. ❤️

GreatInn is an official cp in GMM now, I'll wait for another series from them then. ❤️

Excited my Expectations

It grabs your attention from episode 1. The plot, in all honesty, is not something so different that you've never watched before, but the execution is what made it stand out and work for me. Its lovable characters, unique sense of humour and even the purple as the show's signature colour are some of the elements that helped it gain its own identity among the other bls.

Is it perfect?

No. As every show, it has its issues. The plot dragged a bit on some parts, some plotlines could have been more developed or built up earlier in the show and not get resolved that fast and I'll admit I have an issue with how one serious incident turned into a joke just for the sake of the plot, but the good traits still outweigh the bad.

As for the acting everyone individually deserves a praise. We got a very capable cast. Great and Inn did an amazing job in their debut bl series with Thor and Fluke being on par with them. Both sets of actors were so good I'd love to see them in another bl as main leads.

Overall, it's a series with a lot of heart. It may frustrate you at some points, but the journey is beautiful. If you like romance that's the story for you. And even if it's not you cup of tea, just for the acting alone it's worth giving it a shot.

Chemistry is Chemistry’ing

Its been a long time since I watched a series with this good genuine chemistry between the actors. Helped by the actors appearing both comfortable with eachother and self-confidence. Both of the main actors delivers their roles to a high level and everything from line delivery to microexpressions are on point. The side character also do a great job in their charcter portrayals, but the story mainly evolves around the mains, Great & Inn.

Thor & Fluke also deserves a shoutout in making their relationships as their characters so obvious and heartfelt even without saying a single word. It is nice to see their particular couple dynamic portrayed in the series.

The series does try to show diversity throughout the episodes with more or less success. I really comend them for their efforts and it is highly apreciated to see the characters as individuals that is believable.

The plot is to me mostly engaging and interesting, and where the plot falls through and doesnt drive the storyline the insane chemistry between Great & Inn covers for it. I have greatly enjoyed watching this series and I kept looking forward to it each and every week. Sad that this is the end, but hoping to see more Great & Inn/ Thor & Fluke series in the future.

Saturdays were good days because of Wandee Goodday

Learning about the show, I wasn’t initially drawn to it because I haven’t followed Great and Inn. I had no expectations starting it but when I did, it became what I looked forward to every week. Although the show’s premise is about one night stands and friends with benefits, I love how it wasn’t overly sexualized. It’s a perfect blend of fluff, conflicts, and social issues. However, I just wished the aspect of trauma was explored but overall, this show gave me good days. I’d give it a high rewatch value too because it’s so comforting and light. Hoping for a special ep or sequel!

Encantadora!

Esta serie es una que quizás no sea la mejor del mundo, pero que trae una paz y un encanto único a quienes la vean, es divertida, sin muchos dramas y considero que cualquier persona que desee verla para salir de la rutina de los dramas extenuantes la va a disfrutar.

sobre los actores, la verdad es que es su primer trabajo juntos y tienen una linda química, aunque aunque quiero ver mas series con ellos. La pareja secundaria también fue linda.

Algo que me gustaría recalcar de esta serie, fue la diversidad del colectivo LGBTQ+, fue interesante de ver y conocer otro tipo de personas que son parte de este colectivo y que no estuvo por estar ahí, si no que le dieron razón de ser al personaje dentro de la serie.

La verdad esta serie en general es muy bonita y encantadora, te saca del estrés y te da buenos momentos divertidos. al menos para mi no es una serie que deba buscarle muchas vueltas, simplemente disfrutarla.

GreatInn Chemistry Works, Otherwise Not So Much

This series is a dichotomous BL, bordering on being oxymoronic. Sometimes brilliant then slipping into utter banality. Occasionally poignant but mostly filled with mundane trite tediousness. Sporadic displays of serious adult behaviors but mostly overshadowed with adolescent/pubescence behavioral patterns acting like petulant teenage children instead of adults in a serious sexual relationship. Occasional story lines eliciting tears and then in the next dialogue nothing but endless dribble of cliches and platitudes. In other words, not generally reflecting real life but an idealized sanitized world peppered with a whisper of reality and an occasional homage to authenticity. The best word to describe this series is: puffery. I simply had a hard time relating to this story.

Ojalá tengas un buen día

Wandee Goodday es uno de esos productos redondos en el mundo del BL. Un equipo de producción excelente, una directora que pertenece al colectivo y que sabe qué es lo que quiere hacer, una firme intención de entretener, pero también de educar, un plantel de actores y actrices de primera, una firme intención de hacer las cosas bien...

De las pocas cosas criticables, que me parece naif, a la par que conservadora y contra intuitiva en un producto que ofrece educación sexual, aunque no sea su misión principal, es el tropo del beso reservado para el amor verdadero. Porque en él subyace el mito de la media naranja (que comprendo, porque nos estamos metiendo amor romántico por el culo sin lubricante y de eso no me voy a quejar), pero que ofrece una forma de tener sexo bastante despersonalizada. Una cosa es que no te guste besar (no lo juzgo, aunque no lo comprenda) y otra que pongas un límite porque estás buscando al "adecuado". El adecuado en cada momento es el que te llevas a la cama, porque si te puede comer el ano, le puedes comer la boca... llámame especial, si quieres.

De resto, ya ven la nota. Un 10. En cada uno de los sentidos. Creo que encaja en una nueva forma de hacer BL que se está haciendo cada vez más abundante y qué feliz de estar aquí en este momento de la industria.
