SHIN & HIS CHEST DESERVED BETTER!!!!!!
Watched this series just because Joss Way-ar, who I came across on Instagram, is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My first non-BL Thai series! Told myself that I wasn't going to watch any non-BL Thai series, but the show got good reviews, Joss is too beautiful, he plays a stripper! and I've read that this series had some BL scenes though it isn't categorized as a BL drama, so I had to watch it!Gave up after three episodes as I was bored and the story was quite bland and didn't make much sense as there are way too many plot holes and questionable plot points. Joss was stunning though. His crop tops (which was clearly just a ploy to amp up his sex factor) worked! *heart-eyes emoji* His acting ability is okay but I can tell that he is earnest and hard-working. With training, he could be really good. He does have charisma though and you always feel drawn to him whenever he is on-screen.
And I do love the transgender representation! Jennie! And giving her a love interest and an actual story arc was pretty cool! The bisexual and polyamory representation was pretty cool too!
On a side note, I hope that Joss gets a BL role very soon. Hopefully, due to the domination of BL at the 2020 LINE TV Awards and the huge popularity of 2gether (which I believe to be GMMTV's biggest hit in recent years), GMMTV will produce more BL's and offer Joss an actual BL role (maybe with Luke who's already a good friend) that will catapult him into superstardom! He'd be perfect for an Arthit or Sarawat kind of role!
However, I decided to revisit the series randomly two weeks later and after falling in love with Tay Tawan through his role of Kao as part of BL couple PeteKao and as a exuberant, talkative host of various GMMTV features. I loved the scenes of Joss and Tay. The hottest, best-looking young Thai actor (in my opinion), Joss, with my favourite personality (and who I also find very attractive), Tay! A BL dream! The series was pretty good at times to be honest. It was exciting and entertaining with some touching moments here and there, such as Neo and Shin's friendship. However, there were moments that dragged and the story still didn't make much sense, but it was still a fun watch, And I did fall for Shin (Tay) as many other have also. I also fell for his chest when he started to work for his father lol. To be honest, I was hoping for Shin to make the change from an innocent pushover to a ruthless mafia boss like his father but of course, there wasn't enough time for that change. Ter's death scene did hit me though, especially since he was waiting for Mae's gender reassignment surgery. And the last episode was quite tense and suspenseful. Overall, a fun and entertaining (though shallow) ride.

Aww... The totally cutest guy gets killed in 1st episode!
Well, this is a series where lead characters are actually less likeable than the hired killers after them (I'm not talking about the mangirl that survived) that itself should kinda advise you whether you wish to watch it or not.The main guy is portrayed by Joss Way-ar Sangngern and his character swings not both ways, but any way (girls, boys, married women, friends...), Mild is tolerable, perhaps Tay Tawan's Shin is the only likeable one. We are shown in the blashbacks that in the past, Neo did everything a guy possibly can do to make Shin fall in love with him, he even kissed Shin. In the present line, Neo gets together with Miu (Mild) with Shin hopelessly watching. The trio is on a lam together. They try to hide from the local mobster, who is Shin's dad. I would point out how absurd that is, but what is NOT in this series?
Then they get stoned and everyone kisses everyone. Maybe that's why they cast Joss Sangngern as the lead. He can well handle real-kiss scenes with both sexes, LOL. Pitty we never see kissing like this in some series or lakorn where it would really be exciting (there we usually wait 20 episodes for nothing... here it comes at epi 6 out of 10). Did I already mention "absurd"?
Absurd is also the way general story keeps continuing. If there would be an UFO landing in the middle of it, or a zombie attack, it would hardly disturb it. Since epi 7, I started zoning out. All the "excitement" getting me kinda bored, LOL. There's yet another "mafia boss", and even more stupid than the first one... And then they set off to kill even the second hired killer I liked more than the leading characters? (Again, not talking about the mangirl that survived.) As I didn't really care how this will end, I skipped the rest.

дуже недооцінений лакорн, вартий уваги
короткий зміст сюжету від мене:я спочатку розповім про героїв:
спочатку, розповідь ведеться від першого головного героя — нео. нео — стриптезер, який починає роман з заміжньою жінкою — ванікою. у ваніки є багатий чоловік, який здогадувався про зраду своєї дружини.
наступний головний герой — шін. шін - пасинок ваніки, тобто рідний син її чоловіка. одного разу, друзі шіна запросили його до клубу. дізнавшись що у нього ще нікого не було, вони вирішили замовити шіну повію. мів — менеджерка бару і ще одна головна героїня лакорну. саме їй за гарну суму запропонували провести ніч з шіном. проте як виявилось, нічого не відбулось.
далі ми знайомимось із наступними персонажами: тур і фон, вони є кілерами, які працюють на чоловіка ваніки. у фона є дівчина мей. мей - трансґендерна дівчина, яка переживає за фона, і завжди просить його кинути цю небезпечну роботу.
всі ці персонажі були пов'язані однією ситуацією: чоловік ваніки наказав фону і туру вбити нео, за те що спить з його жінкою. коли вони прийшли в ту квартиру, де був нео з ванікою, так сталось, що фон випадково вбив ваніку, а нео втік. нео прибіг до клубу, так вийшло, що він зустрівся із шіном. вони вже були знайомі, і як ми потім дізнаємось шін був закоханим у нео. раптом їх знаходить мів, і коли по нео прийшли фон і тур, так вийшло що мів застрелила фона. і ці троє - шін, мів і нео втікають разом. за ними женуться тур і мей, щоб помститися за свого друга і коханого, а також за наказом батька шіна, бо на його думку, мів і нео - викрали шіна. як далі розгорнеться доля цих трьох, і які стосунки у них виникнуть, ви дізнаєтесь коли переглянете цей лакорн.
мої враження:
мені дуже сподобався лакорн, хоч я не фанатка лакорнів і т.д. про поліаморні стосунки. кожен персонаж має свою історію і про них цікаво дивитися
особливість атмосфери:
гарна колористика, і він має свій вайб.
чи рекомендую?
так, цей лакорн однозначно вартий уваги і на мою думку, він недооцінений. хоча, якщо ви не можете сприймати поліаморні пари, то можливо самі стосунки вам не сподобаються, але не те що це є основним у цьому лакорні, тут більше трилеру і екшену, ніж романтики.

This was what I always dreamed of.
I watched this series about 3-4 years ago. Before discovering this series, when I saw Triple H's 365 Fresh MV and I said it should be a series and I should watch it. I wanted it so much, I wanted it so much that it came true. Years later, I found this series. I definitely think it was inspired by that MV and I am very happy about it. I remember falling in love when I first watched. It's one of my favorite Thai TV series that I can't forget it for years, but my only problem with the series is the ending. It didn't seem like a poly relationship to me and I was so angry about it. But this was years ago, I grew up and maybe my thoughts are changed. I hope to watch it again and be more satisfied later, but I'm not so sure.Was this review helpful to you?

NOT EXCLUSIVELY BL. RELATIONSHIP OF 3 PEOPLE
I came across this while looking for more BLs to watch, so here's my first point - ITS NOT A BL. IT DOES INCLUDE BL ELEMENT BUT ITS ACTUALLY A RELATIONSHIP OF 3 PEOPLE, ONE BISEXUAL, ONE GAY AND A GIRL. THERE'S ONLY ONE EPISODE WHICH FOCUSES ON THE LOVE STORY OF THE 2 GUYS.The story goes like- a stripper ( Neo) ends up getting on the bad side of a mafia and was on the run from a hitman. He coincidentally bumped into one of his acquaintance/friend ( a guy named Shin who secretly liked Neo) and a girl who was a strip club hostess who got tangled up in the mess. 3 of them starts running for their lives. Later they come to know that Shin is actually the mafia's son. But Shin doesn't like his father so he helps them elope everytime. So the story is basically about 3 of them running away as they struggle to survive against 2 mafias and police. During this time, they develop a special bond of love and friendship. BOTH SHIN AND THE GIRL LIKED NEO AND NEO CLAIMS TO LIKE BOTH OF THEM TOO. SO THEY BASICALLY LOVE EACH OTHER AND SLEPT WITH EACH OTHER (3SOME). THEY NEVER GAVE UP ON EACH OTHER.
The plot about running away and struggling to survive is preety common and nothing out of the box. What was actually special was this love and bonding of these 3 people. Although I don't know or don't wanna judge if it's actually good or bad, did Neo actually loved both the same way, one thing I liked is they actually could go to any extent to protect each other without any jealousy or bad feelings.
THE ACTING WAS GOOD. ALL THE ACTORS (SPECIALLY THE 3 LEADS) DID JUSTICE TO THEIR CHARACTERS.
OVERALL, BECAUSE I WATCHED IT HOPING FOR BL CONTENT, I WASN'T FULLY SATISFIED. THE STORY HAD CERTAIN LOOPHOLES. BUT STILL, IT WASN'T BAD. HOWEVER, I DIDN'T FIND IT SPECIAL ENOUGH TO BE RE-WATCHED.

I was over it at episode 2
Honestly, it's a great series BUT, the biggest problem with this is the character MATER. Yes, I do know Thai people do have naturally tan skin/melanin but the person who plays mater does not have that as a natural skin tone. The hair and the outfit was a no for me. I really couldn't finish watching it. Before anyone wants to come for me you can look up the indigenous people in Thailand in the deep south. It's just the fact that they could've hired a person with the skin and hair type that they wanted for the character.Was this review helpful to you?
Tiga orang buronan
Menceritakan tiga orang tokoh bernama Miw, Shin, dan Neo ; mereka bertiga berasal dari latar kehidupan yang berbeda-beda, karena sebuah kasus mereka bertiga harus kabur dari kejaran orang-orang yang terlibat dengan kasus tersebut, sepanjang episode mungkin hanya menceritakan "kabur"nya mereka sambil mencari jati diri sendiri tentang "mau dibawa kemana kehidupan mereka". Sayangnya hal ini semakin sulit karena ketiga karakter ini terlibat cinta segi-tiga. Dari segi scene sangat bagus, epic dan menegangkan ya. Penokohan yang dipilih juga sangat cocok karena terdapat Tay Tawan dan Joss Wayar, terdapat nuansa bL di series ini, nuansa Str8 juga ada ; keduanya sama dan saling melengkapi. Dari segi cerita mungkin agak monoton ya, dan terlihat agak membosankan, namun karena terdapat adegan menegangkan, terkadang rasa bosan itu terobati. Yang kuat dari series ini adalah ini bukan hanya sekedar kabur, namun tentang pencarian jati diri dan tanggung jawab, serta kedewasaan. Rekomendasi ? YES, tapi untuk para bL fans, harus agak kecewa karena ini bukan bL murni. Menurutku scene romantis di sini agak sedikit semu dan kuantitasnya bahkan sedikit.Was this review helpful to you?

Intenso e inovador
Duas palavras que descrevem perfeitamente 3 Will Be Free. Com um roteiro que foge da mesmice romântica, a série retrata temas pesados e pouco abordados sem meias palavras: Neo não tem vergonha de ser um miche bissexual sustentado por uma velha rica (por quem, ironicamente, foi verdadeiramente apaixonado), Mew tem orgulho de sua personalidade forte e Shin... bem, ele ainda está se descobrindo (e vale uma menção honrosa à Mae, a garçonete trans que entra no mundo do crime para vingar a morte do único homem que a amou). 3WBF pode até ficar um tanto quanto confusa em certos pontos, as cenas de ação também não são lá grande coisa e o realismo deixa a desejar um pouco, mas a atuação perfeita entregue por um elenco de peso mascara facilmente os pequenos defeitos da série, que vai muito além da história fechada do trisal de criminosos. De abordagem pretensiosa, 3 Will Be Free certamente é uma parada obrigatória, tanto para quem está se aventurando pelo mercado de séries tailandês quanto para os mais familiarizados com a industria.Was this review helpful to you?
