The Eclipse

Acting on othet level

The acting in the serie is a whole other level, I would have give it more than 10 stars if it's possible... I have watched first in not me and his acting was sooo good, but in the eclipse, it feels like a whole damn other universe... His eyes can tell anything, his emotions touch my heart directly and makes me feel all the feelings he wants to deliver, Kaotung is an amazing actor as well, when he cries I want to cry too and his smile is so beautiful 🥺
I watched Love in the air before the eclipse and tought I can't forget it and will be hard for me to start any new serie after it, but the eclipse is a good one in this kind of situations 💕

SPECTACULAR SERIES GREAT CONCEPT

For me, The Eclipse is unique and fresh, which blends mystery, politics, and school drama in a way that feels different from the usual romance-focused stories. Set in a strict all-boys school where strange things start happening whenever an eclipse occurs, the show slowly unravels secrets about power, rebellion, and identity.

What I love about the series is the chemistry between the leads, Ayan and Ak. It is one of the show’s biggest strengths. Their dynamic starts as tension-filled and slowly develops into something deeper, and it’s honestly really fun (and emotional) to watch. The slow-burn romance pays off, especially as the characters grow and challenge each other. I always have a soft spot for enemies-to-lovers BL series, so when I discovered The Eclipse, I dove in immediately, and it never disappointed me.

What makes The Eclipse stand out is that it’s not just about the romance. It tackles real themes like school oppression, conformity, and standing up for what’s right. There’s a bit of suspense throughout, which keeps you hooked, and the writing is solid for the most part, though it does get a little dramatic at times.

Visually, it’s well-shot and moody in the right ways, and the soundtrack sets the tone perfectly. Some side characters could have used more development, but overall, it’s a well-rounded series.

So Good~

VERY SLIGHT SPOILERS

Basically: 10
If you're in the mood for a bit of a more serious high school romance focused more on healing and growing with cute banter and fun tension, then this is definitely right up your alley~ If you're looking for something more supernatural or paranormal, then this might not be the thing for you~ Also, if you're going through some things involving depression or grief, I'd wait a bit on this, because ooooooooh boy~

Story: 10
I went into this super excited for the premise, and, while it wasn't as supernatural as I originally expected, there were still a few plot twists that threw me for a LOOP, which was awesome lmao~ I wouldn't say it's groundbreaking, but the use of mental health and the importance of grief, not to mention how our idols aren't always what we think or should actually like, is such an interesting take in a show about high schoolers. There were points that literally had me hitting the pause button to take a moment, and it was because of both the need to squeal at the chemistry and the need to take a breath from all of the emotions. Props to the actors~

Acting/Cast: 10
They're so fucking good lmao I don't know how else to say it. Like, the main actors who play Ay and Akk are some of my favorites that have been cast as side characters for years, so for them to star in something together as the leads, you can bet I was going to support them all else be damned. But they were BRILLANT. The way Ay expressed his grief and Akk's expression as he worked through his feelings about literally everything? Ugh. 10/10

Music: 9
The OST is good, of course, and the background music is also perfectly place. I usually rank the music based on how often I wanna add all of the song to my playlist, and this one only had the opening (sang by the actor who played Ay) that really caught my attention, but that's a personal preference and not at all reflected in the way the background music literally made me anxious in the right spots and scream in happiness in others~

Rewatch Value: 10
This is a biased rating because I love the main couple and have already watched it a second time by the time I decided to start this review, so there's that lol I think is one of those dramas that you notice more the more times you watch it, so I definitely think the rewatch value is hiiiiiigh with this one~

Overall: 10
I thought this show was a pleasant surprise. There wasn't any toxic female characters, no toxic friends, the side couple was cute and showed more than just a handful of times, and there was even more on a friend that didn't necessarily have a romantic partner, so it felt very rounded out and involved. Plus, if nothing else, the CHEMISTRY between the ACTORS UGH. I loved it~

Great portration of emotions and natural character development

This series was awesome regarding two main things:
1. Character development - natural nad not rushed. The best example was Akk. I think I have never seen better character development than this. Really masterpiece.
2. Emotions - Akk/First showed emotions as genuinely as he could. If you would look just in his eyes - they will tell you everything. One of the best emotions delivery I have seen.

For these two reasons I will watch it again. Chemistry between the two main characters was great. Support couple was great too.

I disliked the amount of protests and course story.

Oh, yes and i really liked the underwater kiss :D.

Wow!!!

This show really smacked me in the face, I was not expecting this level of drama or this level of greatness!

I thought I had this show all figured out, but those plot twists actually got me. I love KhaoFirst. I actually came here to cleanse myself from their ANGST over in Only Friends. I'm glad I didn't know about this show until now because I needed it! 😂 It made me laugh, cry, smile, and.... RAGE.

Let's go!
Me vs Thua

This guy deserved Boston, not Khan.

I'm not proud of anything Thua did. He can kick rocks tbh. If he knew all of that he should've taken the time to understand and talk to Akk directly. It's hard for me to care about Thua's outburst and plotting when the audience has seen Akk's realization and struggles. I don't support him being made a villain. Yes what he did was so wrong, but they're literally supposed to be high schoolers. It's even easier at that age to be groomed and manipulated. He was basically brainwashed with cult mentality. - However Akk should have listened when he was advised by Aye to tell the truth before it was told for him. I wish he had. But Thua still sucks for what he did. He used everyone, lied, outed his "friends", and he was not even sorry.

Aye took time to confront Akk and ALSO understand. I dont think he intended to help Akk cover it up. He continued to encourage him to tell the truth. The only time he wasn't pushing it was when Akk's mental health was at risk once he realized what he'd done. Are we forgetting unaliving ourselves is a major plot point?! May Thua be perpetually single, step on a lego every day, and eat bricks for all of his meals. Yelling at this fictional character has been therapeutic. 😂

The only things keeping this from a 10/10 are:

-Thua's step dad is not fully explained or resolved. They made it seem like he was being abused and then all of a sudden it was okay?

-Why did the teacher have that picture of D and the other professor just tucked in a book? Everyone's outing everyone here too lol.

-Thua gets barely any backlash for what he did. He keeps his boo and his friends.

-Why did the main teacher puppeteering never really apologize? or stand up sooner? His toxic behavior towards Akk is swept away by him dating Aye's late uncle. Nothing changed other than people finding out.

The Eclipse - My Personal Opinion

The Eclipse is a Boys Love Series which is always recommended whenever I look for BL Series to watch. The story is great, because of how it portrays what happens in real life, wherein the government or in this series the school administration is doing everything they can to make the image of their school "good", even if there are lapses, traditions, and norms that must be adjusted and updated to what the current society and generation needs. The series also displays strong protest against homophobia, giving the viewers its message of accepting same sex relationship, which is sadly still not normalized for a lot of people and country.

The actors did a great job portraying each of their characters. The main characters, First and Khaotung, did very well of portraying an enemy to lovers trope. Some scenes of First really gave me an ache in the heart because his character really need to choose between his good future or doing what is right. The side characters are also given a decent amount of limelight, explaining their own stories and the battles they are going through.

I kind of expected the plot twist in the latter episodes (about Ayan's uncle). Their part kind of made me sad, because this is the reality. Not all of the same sex relationship have a good journey and ending.

In totality, The Eclipse, is a must recommended BL Series to watch. Every episodes are worth it to watch and it will not waste your time.

THE ECLIPSE

One of THE BEST thai bl enemy-trope series I have EVER watched. it's very thrilling and there are alot of mysteries and twists. the acting of the characters are absolutely good, WARNING: MENTAL HEALTH, alot of familiar and known bl actors and has chemistry. It shows alot of how much LGBTQ+ affects people. its a bit of supernatural and I would definitely recommend this to other BL LOVERS. I cried so much on this show and its very exciting of how the main character is secretive and very mysterious. The series has good character visuals. the acting and plot is very overwhelming and has alot of confrontations, its similar to the series Not me. I finished this in 3 days I would love another series like this. (FirstKhao, NeoLouis.)

My favourite thai drama (and pairing)

The series that got me into firstkhao-
It's been so long and I rewatch it every now and then. When I started it I didn't expect it to get me as much as it did and I became attached to the actors, as well as the plot which is not what I was used to in respect of bl dramas. I really enjoy seeing their backstories and watching them overcome their issues with eachother's help, whilst knowing they found eachother at the right time, exactly when they needed it. I also like how the issue of the school is a real world issue and the show is educating viewers on the issues of people just letting something like this continue when it is wrong and they should be fighting against it - no matter the situation if it may be similar to this. One of my favourite shows ever I still miss akkayan - there are not many that would be able to even get close to beating them.
Definitely recommend to others because the plotline combined with firstkhao's acting makes a very good series and if you haven't watched you are missing out. Is always the first show I mention if someone asks for bl recs.
