Nitiman

There's So Many Cliffhangers You'll Be Left Unsatisfied

Just another BL to kill time.

Nitiman has your typical BL plot that could have been the next Love By Chance, but there were so many issues that killed it's chance. Even the ending leaves you unsatisfied.

STORY:

Jin is the hottest guy on campus. He breaks up with his girlfriend Aim, after assuming she is cheating on him with BBomb. However, BBomb is actually her cousin and has had a crush on him since freshman year. When Jin goes to get his gear from Aim, he meets BBomb. At first he wants to tear BBomb apart, but he soon learns that his circle of friends actually are friends with BBomb and his circle of friends. On top of that he learns that BBomb is Aim's cousin. He can't really trust BBomb, but he tries to be civil. Meanwhile BBomb starts to step his game up in courting Jin since his cousin is no longer dating him.

Jin & BBomb

Jin and BBomb literally had everything set up to be the next Love By Chance, but they miraculously flopped. Why? On top of having no chemistry their storyline was too slow, too annoying, and too bipolar. Jin and BBomb didn't even interact until Jin and Aim broke up, yet right after Jin nearly picks a fight with BBomb for hitting on Aim, BBomb instantly starts hitting on him. The way BBomb hits on Jin isn't even cute. It boarders on annoying and creepy. I don't see why Jin likes BBomb. I got Stockholm Syndrom vibes even though Bbomb didn't kidnap Jin. Jin literally just started allowing BBomb to hang around him without putting up a fight. BBomb forcefully invites himself to events and follows him around a lot. Also the way BBomb stares at Jin when he's sleeping is creepy. Lastly, when Jin starts accepting BBomb into his heart he takes his so long to accept BBomb even though he tells BBomb that he has feeling for him, he doesn't know if they should date. Then when they start dating they can't even trust each other to hang out with other people. It's just an overall toxic relationship. I see them breaking up in a year or two.

Jin & BBomb & Aim

Now let's talk about Aim's relationship with them. She's set up to be a nice person trying to get them together, but I don't see why she would date Jin if she knew BBomb liked him. She's his cousin so she should know! In fact, she's shown knowing that BBomb likes him, so why would she date him! Also she gets upset that Jin breaks up with her and cuts the string on his Engineer Gear, yet later she's seen trying to set BBomb and Jin up. Again, what is she trying to do? I'm so confused. I'm also confused as to what her exact role is when getting Jin and BBomb together. She gathers all of their friends together and seems to be the ringleader in the team to get them to date, but my questions are one, why is she doing this? And two, what is this sudden team up? And three, was she manipulating everything from the beginning. And four, I'm just so confused with her. Aim is just another huge plot hole.

Song & Jay

The best couple with the best chemistry with every little screen time. Song and Jay had a minor plot where Jay seemed to be in love with Song, but we get no conclusion from them as the series ends with no build up or anything. We literally end on a clifhanger for them. Jay is in love with Song, writing love songs about him, yet we can't tell if Song feels the same way about Jay. We also don't know why Jay acts so mean and distant from Song despite having feelings for him. I'm just so confused about this couple since I enjoyed this couple the most in this series, yet they got nothing.

Keam & Ball (& Keam's girlfriend)

Keam's character and storyline is so confusing. I can't tell if Keam is in love with Jin, Ball, Singh, BBomb, his girlfriend or everything. His character is the big brother type of character, but it seems like he has a secret crush on everyone. I'm so confused. Also, they would he date his girlfriend if he has a crush on Ball? At least it seems like he has a crush on Ball. Ball literally has nothing to do with the story and interacts with no other character other than Keam. Even so, there Keam's storyline indicates he has a crush on Ball and that's how it ends. Ball has maybe 10 minutes of screentime with only Keam, so why bring him in as a character? He should have been cut along with this storyline because it just left another big plot hole to the story. Also Keam seems to have a girlfriend throughout all of this, yet she's barely mentioned and she brings nothing to the story as well. She's shown for a split second then seems to disappear. Another random character that creates another plot hole.

Jin's Engineer Friends (Singh & Jack)

I liked Jack's character. Jack is one of Jin's friends that actually has a role to play other than Keam. Singh on the other hand just has girlfriend issues that he brings to the table that does nothing to enhance the storyline. It just makes me wonder why he is introduced as a character in the first place. We don't even get to find out the conclusion to his girlfriend issues too!

BBomb's Law Friends (U & Ultra)

What is the point of U and Ultra? The only role they have to play are to literally piss BBomb off. U is such a terrible friend. He's criticizing BBomb's crush/ friendship with Jin to the point I thought he was jealous and in love with BBomb, but that didn't seem to be the case. Ultra on the other hand, seems to be U's mother, always chastising him for criticizing BBomb. Bomb's friends honestly aren't that interesting. BBomb should have just had Song and Jay as friends and but out U and Ultra. They aren't a couple and don't bring anything to the table. BBomb and Jin don't fight over anything that U says, so there is no point in his character. Lot's of screen time is wasted on U and Ultra fighting about BBomb and Jin's relationship for nothing. U and Ultra aren't even a couple! I would understand if Ultra was jealous that U was thinking so much about BBomb and his relationship that's why he always scolded U about it, but there isn't even a hint of that. Ultra is literally just a good friend to BBomb, but in the context of the storyline we don't need that kind of extra drama if it doesn't do anything to BBomb and Jin's relationship.


ACTING:

The acting here isn't terrible, but it's not the best. Jin and BBomb's actors lacked chemistry together and BBomb's actor was too stoic. It was obvious that this was their first acting gig. A lot of the side characters like Song, Jay, Keam, and Jack had great acting, but because they are side character they can't really save the show. I think if Jin and BBomb's actors had more chemistry they could have saved the show and made it a decent watch despite the flawed storyline. Quite frankly I don't understand why the producers would go ahead on cast inexperienced actors as the leads when they had quite a few actors who have some acting credits to their name. They really did Kaownah dirty by putting him as a support character with Turbo, yet gave them a terrible storyline with little screen time. He's probably the most experienced and famous actor in the series. It's very sad.


OVERALL:

I know I wrote down quite a few things about the series that makes it seem like a terrible series to watch, but honestly if you can get past the plot holes it's not too bad. I'd watch this series as a filler series while waiting for a new series, or just watch it if you're bored.

Love!!

I don't know why this show wasn't on my radar sooner!! I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of it! The chemistry between the leads was so organic and unstrained. To be honest, the chemistry was more palpable than their acting abilities. What a fantastic casting and direction. I loved how their relationship was best experienced through just how they looked at each other and the subtle touches. The moments that Jin would sleep in Bbomb's arms were so lovely and sweet and powerful.
And adding to all that, is the great friend chemistry between the friend groups. I loved watching the friend scenes. Simple, nothing too over the top, just damn good cast chemistry to go with the direction. Rewatch value is definitely a 10 though I don't rewatch hardly anything. And also, I'm the type who really enjoys NC scenes and this didn't have nary a one and it didn't matter at all. They seriously didn't need anything more to make the audience feel the loveliness of this couple. Who, btw, from episode 2 gave off long term relationship energy easily! So hard to do that and these actors nailed it. I soooo wish that there was a season 2!

A lilttle cringe

This is a good series to binge-watch to kill time or watch well you're occupying yourself with something else. The storyline isn't anything extraordinary but it's easy to understand and still very enjoyable. The acting is good but the romantic scenes can very cringe and I have had to skip a bit of the story because of second-hand embarrassment, the romance between the main couple also seems a little forced. The side characters aren’t anything special and some of them come off as a little annoying like the two that keep posting the main character's love life online. I have enjoyed Nitiman so far and plan on continuing watching the series. If you are bored and looking for something to watch Nitiman’s worth watching.

Storyline: Cliché, (but I'm still watching it 'cause why not!) And because it's a Bl 🤭
Acting: 6/10 (some of the support.actors are better than the ML)😅
Chemistry: 7/10 (maybe I'll change my mind after seeing more interaction)😉

What I dislike about This series is that they used EVERY Cliché detail they could, (Campus /University/ uniforms/ engineering/football/boyband/ Multiple couples (gay cpls)/friends teasing the ML about being "courted by" the other ML.... ect) 🙄

NB:This is my personal opinion about the series after watching 3 ep, so I may edit this preview in the future 😘

*soupire* (je l'ai cherché)

Les BL scolaires thaï et moi, c'est une histoire d'amour/haine. La faute à GMMTV et ses intrigues vues et revues qui me font désormais fuir. Nitiman n'était donc pas une priorité, mais c'était le seul candidat pour un BL donc...

Je dois avouer que les affiches me vendaient du rêve. Celle de Bomb & Jin avec chacun une cheville bandée m'avait interpellé. Je m'étais imaginé une histoire avec deux idiots maladroits et quelle erreur !

Ok, je n'ai rien contre les clichés. Mais est-ce qu'on pourrait changer un peu de registre niveau études ? Notamment lorsque les scènes à l'université prennent 70% de l'intrigue... D'ailleurs en parlant de l'intrigue, rien de nouveau de ce côté-ci. Les situations s'enchaînent et suivent un schéma bien rodé avec un supplément d'alcool. Le combo de luxe : problèmes d'étudiants + alcool. Yoopi !

Pour parler des leads principaux. Nous serons tous d'accord pour dire que la beauté est suggestive. Par conséquent, Jin la lune du campus ? Rien ni personne n'est plus hot que Jin ? Ok... Rien que Bomb est plus hot que Jin, ça suffit à chasser la poudre qu'on tente de nous jeter aux yeux. Jin est ennuyeux et semble lui-même se faire chier dans son rôle. Beaucoup ont vanté sa performance, pour ma part, je n'ai rien vu de convaincant, encore moins une quelconque émotion.

Bomb est... Présent ? Il laisse de marbre malgré sa belle gueule. Le personnage manque d'intérêt. En réalité, les personnages ne sont pas aboutis et ne donne pas envie de donner plus de temps que nécessaire.

Quant au couple lui-même, il n'a rien d'attirant et ne possède même aucune alchimie. La faute à qui, aucune idée, mais c'est un de ces couples oubliables devenant presque désagréables à regarder.
(Edit : pour avoir revu Noh Phouluang Thongprasert (Bomb) dans un autre BL, il se débrouille bien mieux que dans Nitiman).

Quoiqu'il en soit, Nitiman ne promet pas grand chose et ça tombe bien étant donné qu'il n'offre pas grand chose. Juste un énième BL scolaire pénible.

Sans intérêt !

fofo, mas comum....

Eu estava escrevendo uma review antes de terminar o episodio e ela era totalmente diferente dessa, que engraçado, poucos minutos podem mudar tão fácil uma opinião, o começo da serie foi muito bom, o tempo pra se aceitarem e a química foram tudo muito bons, foi muito gostoso de se assistir, os alívios cômicos foram no ponto, senti falta de algo na historia, mas foi ok. A atuação do cast inteiro foi boa, a ost é boa também, o desenvolvimento dos vários personagens secundários foram bons também, no geral a serie foi muito boa, eles construíram uma serie muito boa, espero ver mais um pouco no futuro e que seja inovador, porque afinal foi fofo, mas comum.

Seru sih, tapi ...

Menceritakan seorang mahasiswa bernama Jin yang baru putus dengan pacar wanitanya Jim, kemudian dia menyalahkan seorang pria lain bernama Bomb karena menganggap bahwa Jim putus dengannya karena Jim menyukai Bomb. Jin membenci dan kesal kepada bomb namun seiring berjalannya waktu, Jim mulai mengerti apa yang sebenarnya terjadi. Perlahan Jin pun dekat dengan Bomb karena muncul beberapa masalah dan sceneario kehidupan yang mengharuskan mereka bersama, walaupun sebenarnya Jim tetap membencinya - Apakah Jim dan Bomb akan bisa akur akhirnya?. Dari segi konsep cerita sebenarnya ini sangat "ordinary" ya, tidak begitu unik ; dan jujur sebenarnya pengemasan scene di episode satu kurang begitu menarik dan tidak epic - biasa saja. Hal ini bisa membuat para penonton bahkan kabur sebelum melanjutkan seriesnya, padahal jika mengikutinya terus menerus, ini merupakan series bL yang rekomended untuk di tonton sebagai hiburan dan mengisi waktu luang. Dari segi cerita, detailnya menurutku kurang ya, ekspresi yang ditampilkan oleh para tokoh biasa saja, selain itu scenenya agak membosankan (ya walaupun ada yang bikin heart beat juga sih), untuk bL fans pemula saya tidak merekomendasikan bL ini. Tapi untuk bL veteran, mungkin jika anda tertarik, aku bisa merekomendasikan series yang satu ini.

Encantadora

OPINIÓN
Realmente pensé que no sería tan buena, que era una más del montón con actuaciones decentes y música genérica con una historia simple; pero después de verla puedo asegurar que es una buena serie, bien desarrollada y con personajes que no se dejan de lado, todas las historias están bien llevadas y definitivamente me sorprendió.
ACERCA DE
La forma en la que ocurren las cosas son de una manera natural, se sienten las problemas de los personajes y como poco a poco se van resolviendo ya sea: un conflicto, un mal entendido o adaptarse a algo nuevo, tienen un muy buen desarrollo. Los personajes son entrañables y a todos los quieres, cada historia tiene su tiempo y toque. Los clichés que tiene los maneja muy bien, no se sienten ni forzados ni genéricos. Tiene sus detalles que conforme ocurren te vas dando cuenta que tal vez de otra forma funciona mejor o en particular te guste o te disguste, sin embargo, saben como llevar la trama para que las cosas terminen bien y no decepcionen, al final todo termina siendo bonito y agradable.
CONCLUSIÓN
Me ha sorprendido bastante encontrarme con está serie y que sea algo muy bueno, que cien por cien recomiendo. Lo que digo acerca de la serie es que es linda y bien hecha, sin duda la definiría como encantadora.

Una historia con muchos contras pero con un único PRO

FINALIZADO, (ACTUALIZO AL FINAL)
Estamos YA en el episodio 8 y Nitiman the series no evoluciona como debería. Es un bl romántico ambientado en la universidad verdad? pues aún tiene demasiado cabos sueltos por atar y ya estamos entrando en los últimos capítulos!! Creo que es el guión el que falla, hay muchas lagunas en la historia y algunos actores muy noveles con poca calidad actoral. Además no se han desarrollado bien todas las posibles parejas, y más que mantener el misterio parece que en algún momento los guionistas se han perdido en el camino jajajjaja. Como no se espabilen no van a tener tiempo de construir ni second couple ni ya digamos 3er couple ni nada de nada. Todo se va a quedar en agua de borrajas. El ejemplo principal del despropósito es Keam, el amigo del protagonista. Éste es un personaje muy mal construido, el espectador se queda un poco desconcertado con su proceder, sus miradas, sus silencios... de quién demonios está enamorado? por qué está triste? tiene novia pero han cortado? desde cuándo? Tiene un crush con Ball no? pero entonces porqué nos confunden y también parece tener interés en otros personajes..jajjaja.Es un poco molesto que al espectador no le expliquen bién lo que pasa!!
En cuanto a la pareja principal: Bum i Jin. Bum es una especie de Mork (de Fish upon the sky) pero el actor que lo encarna es mucho peor a nivel de "acting". El personaje es un tio majo, el novio carismático, paciente, respetuoso y cariñoso que todos querríamos tener. Pero al actor creo que le faltan tablas, su presencia física es correcta, no así sus dotes interpretativas, sus silencios y pausas cuando ha de decir sus frases...mmmm parecen muuuuy forzados.
El personaje de Jin es con diferencia, lo más interesante de la serie y el actor novel (creo) que lo interpreta, Jom, está fantástico en su papel y en mi humilde opinión, es el que lleva a hombros la serie y no permite que se hunda todo el tinglado. Es verdad, sus líneas de guión no son gran cosa, como todos los demás. Además su personaje lo hemos visto otras veces: el típico chico popular de la clase, al que no le faltan las chicas y los amigos, que un buen día, ve su mundo desmoronarse cuando se da cuenta que se ha enamorado de otro chico de la misma universidad. Él, que era considerado un galán heterosexual es cortejado por otro hombre y sin darse cuenta siquiera se encuentra correspondiendo a estos sentimientos con todo su corazón. Hasta aquí pues nada nuevo bajo el sol. Pero entonces POR QUÉ pienso que el actor SALVA el show? Pues... lo confieso... sus sonrisas y sus lágrimas tienen algo especial. No sabría como explicarlo porque casi no tiene sentido!!! Cuando Jin habla, cuando rie, cuando llora, cuando se enfada, cuando besa, cuando abraza, cuando se pone celoso hay algo que te llama la atención, y que te dispara directamente al corazón y contra todo pronóstico sigues esperando el capítulo semana tras semana PARA VERLO SÓLO A ÉL. Y cuando llega el momento del nuevo capítulo, vuelves a enfadarte con el director de la serie, con el guionista por hacer este bodrio de BL, pero llega Jin y hace pucheritos y sus ojos brillan y...la verdad, se te olvidan todas las quejas...jajjaja. Este actor, ¿de dónde salió? porque navega en medio de esta mediocridad de serie y consigue milagros: SU QUÍMICA con el inexpresivo Bum es sorprendentemente MARAVILLOSA, o sea... es que saca FUEGO de una piedraaaaa señores y todo gracias a ése no se qué que Dios le ha dado, jajjajaj!!!! Gracias a él o más bien, por culpa de él, ahora estoy esperando el siguiente capítulo con ansias, con ansias (....) y mi valoración no baja del 7!!!!!. Racionalmente y después de ver bastantes BL mucho mejores SÉ que debo suspender Nitiman, lo sé... pero mi corazón no me dejaaaaa.
FINALIZADO: Buenooooo, todo lo que yo intuía lamentablemente se ha cumplido y después de engañar al espectador con expectativas de múltiples couples, la unica pareja correctamente desarrollada ha sido la principal. Nuestros chicos han tenido su happy ending, previsible creo des de ya al principio de la serie y ha sido un bonito y cálido final después de diversos malentendidos entendibles debido a la inmadurez e inexperiencia de los dos enamorados. Del resto no vale la pena ni hablar, la verdad, Nitiman es una serie que ha ido de capa caída y que ha desaprovechado 10 capítulos de 1 hora de duración con muchos rellenos, algunas historias sin resolver, algunas mentiras al espectador (nos venden historias bl y no lo son en ningún momento) y algunos sorpresas finales que no sirven para nada y que son más bien molestas. ME QUEDO SOLO CON LA QUÍMICA DE BBUM Y JIN.

Ça casse pas 3 pattes à un canard, mais...

Je dois avouer que je me suis bien fait avoir par cette série !

Au tout départ, je me suis dit qu'on était reparti avec une histoire dans le domaine étudiant : gosses de riches qui vivent seuls, début de romance avec, ou pas, confrontation des leads, possible présence de "peste" qui vient mettre son grain de sel et puis, ça y est, tout le monde tombe amoureux, tout le monde s'aime, générique de fin sur un bisou.

Bien que certains de ces points apparaissent, d'autres sont totalement absents mais ce qui m'a le plus fait émettre des " wha !" devant mon écran, ce fut quand on révèle l'ampleur du petit complot annoncé au début. Du coup, toutes ces petites scènes que je ne comprenais qu'à demi-mots, que je trouvais presque ennuyeuses ont pris tout leur sens.

Bon, je ne dit pas que la série est parfaite, hein ? il y a, selon moi, plusieurs ombres au tableau. En premier lieu, je trouve que Be Bomb reste toujours trop inexpressif à bien des égards et dans beaucoup de situations, c'est un peu dommage je trouve. Ensuite, je déplore le fait qu'il n'y ait pas d'autres histoires amoureuses qui côtoient le couple lead, on voit bien quelques tentatives, ici ou là mais ça reste dans le vague ou elles sont bien vite oubliées, je pense que ça aurait pu être plus intéressant avec plusieurs intrigues amoureuses tout de même.

Le fait que par un, mais les deux acteurs leads se retrouvent éclopés m'a bien fait rire, je me suis demandé.e s'ils avaient des actions dans une usine de béquilles ! À moins qu'ils n'ai un partenariat avec l'hôpital du coin...

En résumé, la série m'a bien plu malgré quelques scènes du scénario qui m'ont parues maladroites ou le peu de couples que nous offre la série pour environ 10h de visionnage, ils auraient pu mieux faire je pense. Peut-on espérer un spin off avec l'histoire de Beam et Ball ?

Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

Salada mista

Muitos sentimentos conflitantes sobre essa série. Teve de um tudo, muitos clichês universitários que já vimos centenas de vezes, um dos protagonistas super determinado e o outro relutante, uma dose de fofura, personagens confusos, outros cativantes... Muita coisa em uma série só.

Vamos primeiro pontuar o que considero negativo. Até agora não entendi o porquê de Ain ter aceitado namorar com Jin, sabendo que B Bomb gostava dele enquanto ela não sentia nada por ele. Qual foi a motivação? Apenas pq Jin quis? Isso é um bom motivo para magoar alguém que vc considera irmão?
O protagonista Jin, meu Deus como é chato, narcisista, egocêntrico, egoísta. E o B Bomb, simplesmente um capacho pronto para ser pisado a todo momento. Foi um dos casais que me deu mais agonia de assistir.
Sobre Kean, que personagem confuso! Ele tinha uma namorada, a série mostrou que ele gostava de Jin, do nada ele se apaixona por Ball, o final entre ele ficou meio que aberto, mas eu pergunto: que fim deram à namorada dele?
Sobre Jay e Song, até o final não ficou claro que tipo de relacionamento eles tinham, lembrando que foi o primeiro trabalho de Khaownah e Turbo juntos, e eles já tinham um ship com uma fanbase forte, não entendi o porquê dessa incógnita.
Sobre U, eu dispensaria um amigo chato e negativo como ele, sem nenhuma piedade, extremamente invasivo.

Mas nem só de reclamações vive a BLzeira, e a série trouxe pontos positivos. O primeiro deles, é que apesar da situação envolvendo Ain, a série não pintou ela como vilã, muito pelo contrário. Aliás, eu já estava com ranço do pobre Mark quando percebi que era um plano coletivo que partiu dela, Mark estava apenas fazendo ciúmes.
Outro ponto positivo: As duas famílias foram maravilhosas, nenhum vestígio de preconceito, assim como também dos amigos.

Já dei uma ideia geral sobre o que achei do roteiro, esses personagens realmente foram mal elaborados. Também achei um furo imenso não terem colocado uma cena mais quente, não que isso deva ser obrigatório, mas por diversas vezes Jin rejeitou Bomb, ficou claro que Jin não se sentia pronto e Bomb ficava frustrado com isso, então, no mínimo deveria ter uma cena mais quentinha mostrando que Jin tinha realmente "se aberto" para o relacionamento sexual.

A atuação, de forma geral foi boa. O que não atuou bem na minha opinião foi o Khaownah, achei que o personagem parecia um palerma. A ost é linda, a fotografia também.

Já vi duas vezes, e apesar das críticas eu indico sim.
