Thatâs My Candy is a Thai fantasy BL series about a couple facing relationship troubles. The main character is a hardworking nurse with a busy schedule, often neglecting his boyfriend. The couple almost considers breaking up after missing their anniversary due to work conflicts. Suddenly, the protagonist is given magical candies that grant him three wishes to change his lifeâs decisions.
You have to try really hard to make a series as atrocious as Thatâs My Candy. The story is nonsense, the characters are despicable, and the relationship drama feels excruciatingly dull. This dire mess comes close to being unwatchable. I almost wonder if it was an experimental parody to see how badly they can butcher the BL genre.

Jing moves out of their home and lives with his good buddy Kana. Although they are platonic friends, Kana has a crush on Jing and uses this opportunity to get closer. Meanwhile, Guy wants to win back his boyfriend, but Jing is distant and standoffish. When Guy falls asleep, he dreams of a mysterious older man. This man gives him three magical candies, which can grant him any wish. Guy wakes up and sees the candies on his bed, but he doesnât know if they actually work.

Thatâs My Candy Review
Review
Drama Review Score: 2.7

Thatâs My Candy is an excruciating BL drama with a senseless story, loathsome characters, and tedious romances. Maybe the first two episodes were okay enough. Not enjoyable, but at least watchable. The quality soon takes a rapid nosedive, and completing the remainder of the series is a painful slog. The flimsy plot goes off the rails with outrageous conflicts, obnoxious comedy, and offensive melodrama. Ugh, I was fed up with the constant nonsense.
The surreal series has a fantasy element that involves granting the protagonist three magical wishes. The premise sounds innovative, but the story never does anything creative with this useless gimmick. Instead, most of the series repackages the same old BL tropes, from dull love triangles to dumb misunderstandings. Thatâs My Candy approaches these topics with wacky humour, quirky punchlines, and random zaniness. Sadly, their embarrassing attempts at comedy are seldom funny.
The worst issue is Jingâs character, whose behaviour is despicable and detestable. He does something shockingly inappropriate in Episode 3 that makes me react with horrified disgust. His wretched actions are so beyond the pale that itâs impossible to redeem this scumbag. Putting aside the egregious offence, Jing acts like a miserable nightmare in every scene. He throws childish tantrums, picks unnecessary fights, and gaslights his boyfriend constantly. Not to mention, heâs also whiny, needy, hypocritical, and irrational. Oh my god, I despise Jing so much.
I actively rooted against the Guy & Jing romance. Their tiresome relationship feud makes me roll my eyes, shake my head, and groan in exasperation. I hate their repetitive conflicts about prioritizing work over romance. Both leads look unflattering whenever they argue and beg for forgiveness in a dreary loop. Jing also takes an ugly stance and bitches about his boyfriend helping hospital patients. In one scene, Jing almost stops Guy from assisting an unconscious woman because they have a dinner date. WTF!? Why is the main character such a callous monster!?
Although Guy and Jing share affections on various occasions, these scenes are insubstantial fluff. Youâll quickly forget the lovey-dovey moments, which all feel the same in an unrecognizable blur. The other couple has a harmless romance, but their rapport is unremarkable without any complexity. You can foresee every predictable beat in the relationship. Also, Viking and Tamtam are vapid characters with no definition outside their careers as online celebrities. Thatâs My Candy couldâve trimmed the bloated supporting cast and developed the secondary leads.
At least Thatâs My Candy looks decent. Sometimes, the experimental cinematography explores a freaky aesthetic, reminding me of BL meets Clockwork Orange. However, the solid production values also remind me an entire crew worked on this series and still produced an incoherent mess. They delivered four hours of unintelligible, unfunny, and underwhelming content. At some point, it crossed my mind Thatâs My Candy might be an intentionally awful parody to mock the BL genre. Otherwise, this series feels like the worst insult, offending me with its pitiful effort.
Summary
Incoherent story
Thatâs My Candy has a surreal story that is barely intelligible. The gimmicky fantasy elements serve no real purpose. Mostly, the series repackages the same old BL cliches into the narrative.
Infuriating romance
Jing is a despicable love interest and I find it impossible to root for any romance involving his character. Jing and Guyâs relationship feud is tedious and tiresome.
Uninspiring acting
None of the actors bring remarkable performances to their roles. They are also restrained by weak material that nobody can take seriously.
Happy ending
Thatâs My Candy has a happy ending that magically resolves the tension between the leads. Despite writing itself into a corner, the series uses a cheap stunt for the sake of an amicable conclusion.
Solid artistry
The series looks decent, albeit slightly overproduced. Sometimes, the cinematography goes for a weird experimental aesthetic, giving off an edgy and unique vibe.
27%
Thatâs My Candy has an incoherent story, infuriating characters, and insipid romances. There are many mediocre projects in the BL genre, but few sink to this level of low-tier garbage.
