Tonhon Chonlatee

Take the worst out of Tharntype and Theory of Love and you get this

So, first of all the only reason I gave it so many stars is because of the characters(the friendgroup) and the comedy. And because it says something against homophobia.
But there were tooo many problematic things, like Ton forcing his friends to get prostitutes and that was never resolved. At the end it got a little bit better, Chon even got a backbone. I have to say that I skipped most TonChon scenes because I didn't care about them, like at all so that's probably why I didn´t hate it too much. The story was meh, the typical "evil ex" story line paired with a worse version of Tharntype and Theory of love. There were plot holes and Tons actions didn't make sense, it wanted you to throw your head against the wall because of his stupidity.
But if you don't take it seriously and just watch it for the funny scenes, then it was a fun watch at times. But just don't. Just don't watch this.

Lovestory Journey

I like the cast and the 1st episode. Hope to see more exciting scenes in this series. I am very much excited to watch the succeeding episodes on how their love story be like. I can't imagine how their story will flow. I hope there would be an intense love triangle scenes. Something like lots of hindrances on their relationships and then in the end, they will have a happy ending story which we cannot forget. Hope to see more scenes also to Top and Mike. I like their tandem. Looking forward too for a more realistic intense scenes. I'm really looking forward on this series. More power!

Honestly Fine

I was hesitant to watch after seeing the reviews for the BL but they were mostly wrong. The story is sweet and the cast is amazing. Each of the side characters gets a pretty good amount of screen time and each story is wrapped up at the end. Yes the dad sucks but his actions weren’t out of the norm. Lots of light casual conversations with believable actions.

Leads: Ton was a normal douchey guy but his actions showed he really cared about Chon. Chon was liked by everyone and was sweet/approachable.

Final Thoughts: Fave series, no, but a solid entry. Soundtrack wasn’t as memorable but this wasn’t a music heavy drama. The cast was the highlight for this series and I would recommend.

Whatever you do, DONT watch this

Literally so bad that im afraid i wont be able to put it into words. I was looking forward to this so much bc of Podd/khao/mike/toptap and the story looked promising so i watched it as it came out every week on gmmtv's youtube. (i rarely do this! I usually wait until its all aired unless im really looking forward to it.) I was extremely disappointed by the end, i was flabbergasted, left SPEECHLESS. I cannot believe gmmtv wasted Podd and Khaotung's talent down THE DRAIN like that, its just disrespectful. Compared to countless of other shows khao has been in and Podd's astounding performance in dbk, it was really hard to believe these were the same people. I cant believe gmmtv put some of their most talented actors in this dumbassery of a show. I want to cry and bleach my eyeballs, someone pls make me forget this ever existed. "Lord please forgive me for beating this bitch's ass today, lord"

Would not ever put myself through this again

This drama has to be by far the worst I've seen. It was so hard to watch I was taking breaks between each part of the episode and even throughout the part.
At first I was really excited to watch it because it looked genuinely good but that was not the case at all quiet far from reality, honestly disappointed .
I did plan on forcing myself to finish the series but couldn't bring myself to my brain just wouldn't commit to it seeing how it was so cringy, had a weird concept for the drama, misogynistic and many more problematic things.
I would not recommend this to my worst enemy! Do yourselves a favour and add this to your 'Not interested' list.
Overall: Terrible series, would never watch again, it does not get better as the series goes on.
*if theres any spelling or grammar mistakes please ignore them* 😅

i got nothing

I honestly don't know what to say or where to start with this.

From the synopsis, I thought this was going to be about two childhood best friends who separate as children (kind of like Korn and Knock in TWM) and then reunite at university, only one's been in love with the other since they were kids and the other is apparently straight and has a girlfriend (also like Korn and Knock in TWM) only with more emphasis on the ocean and pretty scenery.

Chon has been in love with his childhood best friend Ton since they were small. They lived literally next door to each other, and when Ton and his family moved away, Chon was devastated. Fast forward several years and Chon, who has taken it upon himself to clean Ton's old house regularly (because the family never sold it and it's been sitting vacant for years) hears someone moving around in the house and goes to confront what he thinks is a burglar.

Turns out it's Ton, running away from uni and his girlfriend who dumped him for a richer bloke. Let's not get into how so many female characters in Thai BL are golddiggers - it won't end well.

Chon is going to Ton's uni, so Ton offers to let Chon live it his house with his two best friends, Ai and Ni. Ai and Ni are a couple, but haven't told Ton because his father is uber homophobic (kind of) and they don't want to lose his friendship.

All this, in and of itself, would be fine. Chon struggles to keep his feelings for Ton a secret, because he doesn't want to lose Ton's friendship, and then it all comes out and Ton has to figure out his own feelings for Chon. Fine. All standard in BL. Not a problem.

But then things do this weird 180 in the last episode, and it turns out Ton was also in love with Chon when they were kids and always has been and everything that happened up to then has been some kind of, I dunno, weird scheme to get Chon to fall in love with him?

This makes absolutely no sense at all. It's like the writers were going one way with this series, and then decided, 'fuck it.' And all the supposed foreshadowing for this isn't very foreshadow-ey even when they try to make it that in flashbacks.

Another thing that puzzled me was Ai and Ni. They're supposed to be a couple in a loving relationship, but we never see them kiss. They lean into towards each other, and then the camera just pans away. What is that about? If the actors aren't comfortable kissing, why cast them in the first place?

Lastly, the odd plot twist led to the reveal that Ton's father knew he loved Chon and the reason he was against it wasn't because he was homophobic, but rather that he was wanting grandchildren to carry on his family name and legacy. Now I know this is a big, big thing in most Asian cultures, but in 2020, and admittedly from my perspective, this just comes off as really stupid. Really, really stupid.

This problem is solved when Miriam, a recent friend, agrees to be a surrogate. Which also weirded me out. Because that happens at the end, which is apparently three years later, so what took so long? And Ton and Chon are both still in uni - was it to give them time to graduate before Ton becomes a father? Is Ton going to *be* the father? Or is the child/ren going to be raised by Ton's parents? What's Chon's role in all of this? what's Miriam's? Is she going to give birth and then give the baby/babies up?

Children are people - not balls to be bounced around, or commodities to bargain with. You should never bring a child/ren into the world if you aren't prepared to put 100% effort into being a parent. They are seriously bringing a child/ren into the world just so there's an heir for Ton's dad? To carry on the family name? What happens if the child is a girl? Did she get pregnant three times and then abort the other two because they were girls? The whole thing is never explained well and comes off as skeevy as fuck.

The first nine episodes of this show were fine. Mostly. I'm not going to touch of how much a himbo Ton comes off as, because that's something you need to see and laugh about for yourself (and episode 10 retcons it all anyway) . Even precluding that, they were fine.

The the curse of episode 10 struck and everything went weird and I think, if I was watching this again, I'd stop after the scene on the pier in episode 10 and pretend the other half of the ep doesn't exist, because it doesn't do anything for the show as a whole and, to repeat myself, is skeevy as all get out.

Un BL bien sympathique

J'ai vraiment aimé regarder ce BL, il m'a direct accroché car je l'ai fini en a peine deux jours et j'aimerai en parler.

L'histoire :

Ça commence avec une histoire un peu déjà vue des deux garçons, amis d'enfance, qui sont séparés par le destin et qui se retrouvent des années plus tard lorsqu'ils sont jeunes adultes et à l'université tous les deux.

les personnages :

Au début, j'ai trouvé que les acteurs avaient un peu de mal à jouer de façon crédible, mais, fort heureusement, par la suite c'est quelque chose qui s'arrange et ils réussissent à nous offrir une bonne prestation.

J'ai beaucoup aimé le personnage de Chonlathee car, on pourrait croire de prime abord qu'il est un peu le cliché habituel du jeune gay hyper émotif et qui n'a pas vraiment de présence ou qui apparaît effacé par rapport aux autres, mais il n'en est rien ! Chon sait réagir aux attaques et il a un aplomb et un répondant incroyable quand quelqu'un l'agresse.

Les personnages savent instiller du comique dans les scènes ( bon, c'est pas non plus le comedy club, mais il y a plusieurs moments où je me suis surpris à pouffer devant mon écran) et notamment le couple AiXNai.

Une mention spéciale à la mère de Chonlathee qui est juste un personnage excellent, elle peut tout aussi bien vous faire rire que vous impressionner par son répondant ou sa capacité à gérer les situations de crises tout en douceur mais fermeté. Je l'ai juste adoré et je pourrai revoir le lakorn juste pour elle.

La réalisation :

Le lakorn traite de beaucoup de sujets différents, certains, bien connus des BL comme l'acceptation de sentiments nouveaux, le besoin d'héritiers ou le coming-out. D'autres que je n'avais pas encore rencontré affilié à la psychothérapie de couples.

J'ai beaucoup aimé la tonne de références que l'on peut voir dans la série qui renvoient à d'autres BL (mais attention si vous ne les avez pas vu, vous serez spoilés sur les déclarations et les scènes de bisous !) et je me demande même si la scène où Ton cuisine n'est pas un clin d'œil à la filière dans laquelle l'acteur a étudié et dont il a été diplômé.

Bilan :

La série est vraiment toute douce avec des pointes d'humour et des moments qui vous font réfléchir dispersés ça et là (avec même des petits twists scénaristiques en plus !), ça se mange (voire, se dévore) sans faim. C'est passé comme une lettre à la poste !
Dernier petit truc : j'ai eu beaucoup de mal pour le titre à ne pas m'en souvenir comme « Ton nom chocolaté » mais c'est une transposition toute française de ma part.

Maintenant à vous de vous faire votre avis.

Fong menemukan cinta.

Sejujurnya saya menonton ini sebagai obat move on bagi salah satu karakter Together the Series bernama Fong, ada yang bilang bahwa Fong di series tersebut sebenarnya mencintai Tine, namun dia sadar bahwa Sarawat sudah benar-benar ada di dalam hati Tine. Series ini muncul sebagai obat penawaran kesedihan dan kekecewaan bagi penggemar Fong di series Together itu, ya salah satunya adalah aku. Menceritakan Chonlatee yang menyukai Tonhon yang merupakan tetangganya sejak kecil, namun seiring waktu mereka bertambah dewasa Chonlatee terjebak dengan perasaannya dan malah tidak bisa berkata jujur kepada Tonhon, sampai saatnya Chonlatee harus berkuliah, dan akhirnya bertemu kembali dengan Tonhon yang sudah terlebih dahulu masuk ke kampus tersebut. Di kampus Tonhon memang mempunyai pacar wanita, namun kedekatan Tonhon dan Chonlatee semakin dekat, Tonhon juga terkadang menjadi posesif jika Chonlatee dekat dengan seorang wanita atau pria. Jika anda mulai menonton series ini, ini adalah bL yang paling umum atau punya cerita yang paling mendasar sebagai series bL sehingga sangat mudah ditebak alur ceritanya, namun sebagai seorang fans bL pemula ini mungkin sangat direkomendasikan terutama karena Tonhon digambarkan sebagai Pria yang tidak tau bahwa dia suka laki-laki juga (Denial) atau semacamnya. Sebagai hiburan, ini salah satu bL yang aku rekomendasikan. bL ini tidak memiliki makna yang dalam, dan diperuntukan untuk orang-orang yang mencari mood dan hiburan semata.

Ho adorato questo bl, è molto carino, tranquillo e mi ha fatto spaccare in due dalle risate.
La trama è semplice, nulla di particolare, è una delle solite storielle ma comunque mi è piaciuta molto.
I protagonisti hanno una chimica buona, non proprio quello che cerco io o comunque una di quelle chimiche che per me arrivano alle stelle ma vabbè alla fine è stato ugualmente piacevole vederli insieme.

Parlando di Ton devo dire che non mi è molto piaciuto sin dall'inizio in quanto come persona sembrava una persona per bene ma purtroppo tutti quei discorsi omofobi mi stavano sul cazzo e li faceva di continuo quindi veramente non riuscivo a capire come Nhai e Ai abbiano sopportato tutto ciò per anni senza poter ribattere.
La cosa che mi dava più fastidio riguardo questi discorsi era il fatto che faceva dei discorsi omofobi però poi dopo se ne usciva dicendo cose come “non li odio”, “non sono contro di loro”, però ci stava sempre qel “ma” che mi faceva chiedere “bello, deciditi, sei contro o pro?”, non ci stavo a capire nulla ma per me già solo se inserisci il “ma” sei nella parte sbagliata.
So che questi suoi discorsi erano detti in quanto sin da piccolo era stato influenzato dai genitori ma purtroppo la situazione è una, crescendo si acquisisce la capacità di ragionare di testa propria e io non credo che tu crescendo non sappia capire e vedere ciò che è giusto e non è giusto, personalmente sono stata cresciuta con un'idea sbagliata ma sin da piccola sono riuscita stesso io a ragionare e ora sono qui a guardare un bl senza problemi e senza avere pregiudizi, di conseguenza non riesco a capirlo del tutto, è adulto e doveva capirlo da solo già molto prima.
Vabbè in ogni caso non mi stava molto simpatico soprattutto per il fatto che non riuscisse a capire i propri sentimenti, continuava a dire “mio fratello, è mio fratello” sempre questo, non riusciva proprio a capire che la sua era gelosia e sta cosa mi dava sui nervi, non si dava una svegliata; fortunatamente poi dopo ce l'ha fatta grazie soprattutto a quei tre bellissimi amori miei Nhai, Ai e Miriam che hanno messo su quel piano favoloso.

A questo proposito parlando di quel piano devo dire che l'ho trovato un'idea geniale e mi ha fatto piacere come effettivamente non abbiano costretto Na a fare ciò che dicevano, mi ha fatto piacere che abbiano capito la sua situazione, una situazione in cui Na ama Chon e quindi sicuramente poteva uscirne da questa situa molto ferito in cuore.
Di sua parte ho apprezzato il coraggio di Na al voler provare questa cosa così da avere una possibilità anche se era nulla, dato che sapeva che a Chon piace Ton e che questo piano serviva per far avvicinare loro due.

Parlando proprio di Na, all’inizio sembrava molto scontroso ma io già avevo capito che era una buona persona, sono fiera di averlo pensato sin dall’inizio e non dopo che ciò era stato dimostrato; ho sempre pensato fosse una brava persona che purtroppo era un pò fastidiosa col suo esibizionismo ma poi abbiamo comunque ben visto che lui non esibisce i suoi soldi per chissà quale motivo ma perchè non avendo amicizie non sapeva come farsele quindi facendo vedere di avere soldi aveva una probabilità maggiore che qualcuno si avvicinasse a lui, anche se con cattive intenzioni a lui non fregava, basta che aveva un amicx.
Purtroppo questo concetto lo capisco e conosco bene in quanto anche io sono in una situazione simile (non esibisco i soldi perchè so povera, semplicemente cambio in base alla persone in modo che non gli sto sul cazzo e l’amicizia dura) (non prendete sul serio questo comportamento perchè io stessa lo faccio per farmi piacere ma mi abbandonano ugualmente) (mi sento stra sola, qualcuno faccia amicizia con me pls).

Parlando invece di Nhai, Ai e Miriam, la loro situazione sin dall'inizio mi sembrava molto incredibile, era molto surreale effettivamente e proprio per questo non capisco come Ton sia riuscito a credere a una cosa del genere ma vabbè fin quando ci ha creduto meglio così.
In generale li ho amati un botto, sono stati la salvezza e mi hanno fatto morire dalle risate insieme soprattutto alla madre di Chon quando ha detto al padre di Ton “vecchio disgustoso con il cazzo moscio” e tutti quelli insulti, lì l’ho amata più che mai, in generale ho sempre amato come abbia sempre supportato suo figlio e lì mi è sembrata stra figa ahahah mi sono spaccata dalle risate.

Parlando infine del padre di Ton continuerò ad odiarlo per sempre PUNTO ciò perché capisco tutto quello che vuoi e la tua paura ma sinceramente parlando come puoi privare tuo figlio dall'essere se stesso solo perché ti importa di un nipotino del cazzo, sinceramente non vedo questa come una sufficiente motivazione al suo comportamento orribile e disgustoso avuto per tutta la serie, poi sinceramente proprio per ripicca se fossi stata una loro figlia il nipote non gliel’avrei fatto vedere manco col binocolo, sincera come sempre io eh.

Mi ero dimenticata di Amp vero…allora io sinceramente non ho parole riguardo Amp perché veramente è inutile parlare proprio per una stronzetta del genere, mi ha dato sui nervi tutto il tempo perché proprio non capisco la situazione del tipo tu tradisci il tuo tipo, lo lasci e poi vai pure trovando di essere così altezzosa dicendo che effettivamente lui è andato a pigliare un'altra persona perché sicuramente gli manchi te, perché tu sei la migliore ma dico io con quale autostima me lo stai dicendo, un autostima molto alta…troppo alta rispetto a quello che sei effettivamente, io veramente non la capisco e sinceramente non mi è piaciuta per nulla, invece mi ha fatto super piacere come il karma gli sia girato contro.

In generale consiglio molto questa sera è qualcosa di molto carino e semplice da vedere e sì questo è.

7110 Omegaverse served in a Thai series

Mike-Toptap duo, the infamous dancing couple that turned talk of the town for their adorable interactions was born from this series. They were rumored to be on bad terms after the show ended. But personally i wanted them to promote together. They were more convincing than the lead CP, Pod-Khao. Jan is a doll wherever you place her. She played a pivotal role here (watch to know) Neo is a savage millennial. Vanpiya is such a gorgeous lady, muah.... The show began on an interestingly hilarious note, which i loved.
But as the story worked its way, the pacing decelerated from Tracer 700c to a tuktuk. Yet the events that occur in the process of straightening Chon (pun intended) by Ton made me crack up. Khaotung nailed the role of a petite vulnerable boy whose love interest is his childhood friend, a male. P' Koo intelligently attempted a plot denouncing social homophobic discrimination in a subtle comedic tone rather than aggression. I learnt that the side story has been released as Ai hong Nhai. I am going to watch that one too.....

Excusez-moi, où est passé le scénario ?

Comment une idée si simple a-t-elle vrillé de la sorte ? Un petit gars amoureux de son voisin, voisin qui n'est pas amoureux et qui n'est même pas gay. Jusqu'ici, qu'est-ce qui peut mal tourner ? Et bien… Tout, apparemment !

Thonhon est supposé être un adulte. Alors pourquoi se comporte-t-il comme un stupide adolescent ? Le type ne comprend pas comment deux hommes peuvent être ensemble… Avait-il besoin d'un dessin ou quelque chose du genre ?
Chonlatee est un adorable et timide gars. Et pourtant, il vrille et devient ridicule (au point que c'en devenait gênant). Tous les plans pour faire tomber Thonhon amoureux étaient catastrophiques.

Une partie de moi (la maso, on la connaît tous) avait l'espoir (infime, même une miette) d'un changement. Mais ce n'est jamais arrivé.

En bref, c'est une histoire mauvaise de part son scénario débile et ses personnages stupide. C'est tout.
