Guyss I wanna ask if I should read the in love forever novel or let the show surprise me

andd where can I find the novel to read if yes?

Well, Girl Rules was... something.

This is my completely honest opinion as someone who has been hyped for this show since the pilot dropped.

In fact, GR was probably the GL I was looking forward to the most in 2026. I followed every update, watched the trailers multiple times, and genuinely believed this had the potential to become one of the defining GLs of the year.

Which is exactly why I'm walking away from it feeling more disappointed than angry.

THE GOOD

The cast

Let's start with the obvious.

This cast was insane.

NamtanFilm, MilkLove, ViewMim, plus appearances from Emi, Bonnie, Ciize and Kapook? On paper, this was genuinely one of the strongest GL ensembles we've seen.

Not only are these actresses popular, but they're also performers who can actually deliver when given good material.

The characters

One thing I absolutely loved was how distinct the characters felt.

Bambi was messy, troubled, emotionally dependent and impossible to ignore whenever she entered a scene.

Shasha carried that confident "playgirl" image while hiding years of pain and trauma underneath.

Gorya was fiery, stubborn and protective.

Prim was a successful director who seemed strong in every aspect of life except when it came to love.

Praew knew who she was and what she wanted.

Min's journey of self-discovery had a lot of potential.

Nobody felt bland, and that's honestly one of the biggest achievements of the show.

The performances

The actresses carried.

Whenever the writing gave them scope to work, they absolutely delivered.

Film deserves special praise because Bambi's emotional scenes were some of the strongest moments in the entire series. Her breakdowns, vulnerability and emotional instability felt raw and believable.

Prim's heartbreak scenes, Shasha's backstory, Gorya's softer moments beneath the attitude, there were so many moments where the acting elevated material that wasn't always as strong as it could have been.

Chemistries and the banter

Honestly, this might be the reason many of us stayed invested

The chemistry between the actresses was fantastic

Whether it was romantic tension, jealousy, rivalry, flirting, banter

Bambi and Gorya's interactions about prim and the later softer moments too

Shasha being Shasha (afterparty and condo are the key words here btw)

The couple crossovers

Even when the plot wasn't moving, the dynamics between the characters often created enough excitement to keep viewers talking every week (they genuinely felt like people whose lives had become interconnected through friendship, work, love and shared experiences)

The first half

The first half of the series genuinely had me hooked.

The messiness felt intentional....the relationship web was intriguing somehow..every episode left me curious about what would happen next

THE BAD

The Writing

(the biggest flaw)

Terrible way of story progression...sometimes stretchy other times abrupt
A missing essence and superficial tones in writing emotionally deep side plots...(no impact whatsoever)
there wasnt a plot that I can point at , which held the show together throughout

which makes me think about the:

Missing emotional development

This became more noticeable as the show progressed.

Take Shasha and Gorya:

They're probably one of the most interesting pairings in the entire series, yet I never felt like the show properly explained why Gorya fell for Shasha beyond seeing moments of vulnerability...

The chemistry was there but the emotional progression wasn't.

The same applies to Min and Praew;

What exactly made Min start questioning her sexuality?

What made her fall for Praew?

What made Praew truly understand Min?

The relationship happened, but the emotional bridges connecting those moments often felt missing.

Ironically, MinPraew sometimes felt like side characters in their own story.

The crossover pairings

One of the most anticipated aspects of Girl Rules was the crossover dynamics.

Shasha and Bambi.

Prim and Gorya.

Even the tension between Gorya and Bambi.

People were genuinely excited because these interactions opened up so many interesting possibilities.

The problem is that most of them felt like they existed purely to maintain the show's "messy" image.

A lot of these scenes generated excitement in the moment but added very little to the overall story.

The messiness rarely led anywhere.

There were kisses, tension and shocking interactions, but very few lasting consequences or meaningful developments that justified them narratively.

Romance and love scenes

This might be controversial.

For a show that marketed itself as bold, mature and messy, many of the romantic scenes felt surprisingly underwhelming.

And no, I'm not talking about explicitness...

Many scenes felt abruptly cut off just when the chemistry was starting to build....

The tension would finally reach a point where viewers could fully appreciate the moment, and then the scene would end...

For a series that heavily promoted desire, attraction and complicated adult relationships, a lot of the romantic moments felt strangely incomplete.

Too many themes at once

The show tackled:

• Mental health
• Industry exploitation
• Sexuality
• Trauma
• Family expectations
• Toxic relationships
• Self-discovery

All important topics.

The problem wasn't the topics themselves but it often felt like the series was introducing issues faster than it was exploring them..

Budget and production

For a show set in a glamorous industry, the glamour was surprisingly missing

At times the world felt smaller and more artificial than it should have...(I mean one dollar and a dream after all?)

Editing

I genuinely don't know what happened here.

The editing often felt abrupt, unfinished and awkward....

Transitions were rough, Certain episodes felt like they were held together by tape....

OST

Look.

The OST is catchy

But it's also the kind of song you don't particularly like and somehow still end up singing.

Prim's styling

I have a personal issue with whoever styled Prim

Some outfits were great

but some genuinely made me question the though behind them istg

Namtan deserved better.

Final Thoughts

The frustrating thing about gr is that I don't hate it.

In fact, I probably wanted this show to succeed more than most people.

That's why I'm so critical of it.

Because every ingredient was present.

But somewhere along the way, the show became so focused on being messy that it forgot to give that messiness purpose....becoming a mess

By the finale,felt less like a bad show and more like a lost one

(A lot of thoughts are going through my mind right now, and this was the best way I could put them into words. I hope it comes across the way I intended.)
and
HAPPY PRIDE!

Now that Girl Rules is coming to an end, I genuinely can’t believe how much potential this show had only for it to end up feeling so directionless. With a cast lineup this strong;
NamatanFilm and MilkLove who are already major names in the industry and with everyone from viewmim, emi, bonnie to ciize and kapook (almost everyone making an appearance) you’d expect a well-written, emotionally layered series with proper character arcs and pacing.
I never expected for this show to be so all over the place, its just sad atp
what could’ve been one of GMMTV’s strongest GL ensemble series ended up with a lack of decent plot, character inconsistencies and the budget too felt unusually tight.
The only thing saving the show is the popular pairings and those face cards😭
but I would love to see what you guys think…
