Must watch ep 1-5

New Ship ep. 1-5

NottPan/ BillySeng we’re so amazing! I am in awe of this series and I can see why the series started with them! The series had so much stuff to unpack and it gives so much insight on the bts of the BL industry! The story started so strong and ended beautifully! Some characters intentions didn’t come to light until the end while others have been showing us their true colors since the beginning! I’ve become a fan of a few actors I didn’t know before this started 🥰 also the cameos in this series are unexpected and fun 😁

We will still see NottPan on the other 3 stories throughout the next 15 episodes so I’m sooo excited!

And this rating is effed up cuz ain’t NO way y’all are rating it this low! Smdh!

Difficult To Watch

Ok, So I don't like spoilers so I try to be careful in my reviews
Episode 1-5 - Honestly, this first five episodes which make up the first story was really difficult for me to watch.

This is not a lighthearted story. For me, it was too sad pretty much all the way through. I can't say it was realistic, because I really don't know how the industry works, but I kind of feel that some parts may have been realistic, some were probably not... like the comments that the supposed viewers were leaving - I don't see comments like those on any bl shows and reviews - most viewers comments are not so hateful as these were.

The last part of the fifth episode was probably the most unrealistic part of this story - I don't want to say more, but I will be interested to see if other reviewers feel the same.

The acting was top notch. Nott and Pan (Billy & Seng) were a couple in Secret Crush On You (as Toh & Nuea)- and they have amazing chemistry. Toh was extremely nerdy in that series, it was interesting to see him act as a different character in this series.

I watched this on Gagaoolala - the subtitles were all there, but to read the supposed viewers texts was almost impossible because they flipped on and off the screen way too fast.

I can't give the show a bad rating because it's professional and the acting is top notch, but I can say I probably won't ever rewatch this first part.

Was too much work to watch it

If watching a series starts to feel like work and isn't fun, that's my time to leave.

Despite being a high production value with good actors, the fact that it was multiple short stories and that nobody had amazing chemistry just made me slowly lose interest. It should have been multiple miniseries instead of billed as one long show.

The stories are so separate that I kind of fast forwarded through chunks of the first story cuz I was sort of tired of the premise. But I wanted to see what happened because I knew the second couple were side characters in the first. Didn’t really matter much in the end.

I ended up skipping 4 of the 5 episodes for the second couple (episodes 7-10). I don’t like elaborate and manipulative setup, machination plots. It was the reason “Together With Me” disappointed me despite its strengths.

Episode 11, the start of the third story just wasn't interesting enough to make me want to continue. And because the first three stories disappointed me in different ways, it made me have no interest in trying to watch the fourth story. For all I know that could be the only good story but I've just lost any desire to try it.

This show is not understandable!

Okay, I had enough and dropped the show after Ep 4. What. The. Fuck. Is. Happening.
N'Pan's character is so annoying, why was he crashing out every five minutes, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. It's a mess! And don't get me started on the whole story because I don't even understand what is this about. Like I get it that it's supposed to be a 'BL world reality' but it's not good at all and unrealisticly portrayed.

WAR OF Y

Okay... WAR OF Y

Ep 1 : Not bad, the cast are all good looking, the songs are okay, new fresh story and kinda promising

What i like so far
I won't lie, The kisses are really hot, not forced or dead like (unforgettable night) no offense 😂😂😂😂
Kinda curious about where the story is going, it like the dark life of movie industry

Room for improving

It would have been much better if they could translate the phone texts, messages to English, not all of us can read thai

That it for now, Although it soon for rating the story, music and rewatch, i just had to pit something... So guys Enjoy

This is a mess that just popped up in less than 5 minutes, can't believe it's true

How can one make such a messed up series? The only bright spot is the actors' faces and the actors' acting is not enough to save the movie it's very bad, it's annoying from the emotionless dialogue the movie can say 18+ but it sucks with everything that can't be watched again, people probably only see the 18+ segments that are cut

A verdade dói mas tem que ser dita

Essa série foi maravilhosa! Uma de várias que denunciaram situações ruins que os atores vivenciam nos bastidores, abusos, saúde mental comprometida, o relacionamento com seus agentes, e a competição acirrada entre eles, já que todos querem estar no topo, e no topo não tem lugar para todos ao mesmo tempo. E o que é necessário fazer para chegar ao topo? E em seguida, como se manter lá? Infelizmente, aqui se aplica a máxima de Maquiavel, "os fins justificam os meios".
O primeiro arco é realmente dramático e muito pesado, é doloroso saber que retrata situações reais. Tem como tema central um casal de protagonistas que estão em evidência, e que por trás das câmeras tem um relacionamento real, sem que ninguém mais saiba. Isso é interessante de ser abordado, a cultura do fanservice foi um grande desserviço, e acabou estigmatizando os relacionamentos entre atores Y sempre como falsos, e também o fato de que mesmo que seja real eles não se sentem à vontade para confessar, pois os danos nas carreiras podem ser irreparáveis. Esse arco também mostra a diferença de tratamento por parte das produtoras quando os atores estão no "hype" ou não. Outra faceta horrenda, é a tentativa de prostituir os atores, tentando trocar sexo por favores pessoais, com a conivência de seus agentes, agentes esses a quem os atores chamam de pai ou mãe, que foram tirados de suas famílias com a promessa de cuidado e um futuro promissor. A cena da banheira foi muito forte, onde Pan tenta se limpar pq se acha sujo depois do encontro com o velho tarado. Outro ponto importante abordado, é a necessidade de validação através das redes sociais, e os efeitos psicológicos que podem ocorrer caso essa validação não venha. Além disso, é necessário estar pronto para ser descartado quando algo vai mal e se é cancelado. Detalhe, pra ser descartado não se precisa fazer algo errado, basta negar qualquer coisa ao sistema... Seng se negou a se prostituir, e pagou por isso. As próprias agentes do casal vendiam histórias negativas sobre eles para atrair mídia, é de dar nojo.
Um aparte para falar da atuação do Seng, que melhorou mil vezes desde sua última série (Secret crush on you).
Não tenho nenhuma reclamação sobre esse arco. Achei muito bom, e ainda foi coroado com a presença de P'New, Santa e Earth no final. Meu coração ficou quentinho por ver que eles terminaram juntos.
O segundo arco dá visibilidade ao casal secundário do primeiro. Esse arco mostra a verdadeira faceta dos agentes, o fingimento, as mentiras e situações onde a confiança é quebrada, e onde os atores percebem que na verdade são apenas peões em um jogo de poder e dinheiro. Outra situação explorada é a dos haters, e até onde eles podem ir, bem como os fãs que acreditam ter direito sobre seus ídolos.
Também é mostrado de que forma os novos ídolos são recrutados e moldados para serem ships potenciais, e claro, o direito que é tomado dos atores de falar sobre sua vida amorosa. Nesse arco, o grande plot Twist é descobrir que o mais "inocente" era o culpado de todos os planos mirabolantes e manipulava situações para que tivessem o resultado que ele desejava.
O terceiro arco fala de um reality show, onde 6 membros vão disputar a preferência do público fazendo apresentações artísticas, provas e mostrando seu dia-a- dia no confinamento. Nesse arco é mostrado que os seres humanos possuem diversas facetas, e muitos são capazes de tudo para conseguirem o que querem, nesse caso, vencer o programa. Temos a problematização do termo "esposa", tópico bastante debatido usualmente dentro da bolha BL. A fala de Wang sobre os ídolos BL não poderem reclamar ou escolher diversas coisas, e serem obrigados a entregar o que o mercado solicita, realmente deixa claro como funcionam os bastidores das séries que amamos. Além disso, o problema de que não importa talento ou carisma, na verdade o mercado impõe o que quer e os fãs tem a ilusão de que escolheram.

No último arco, o ship que ganhou o concurso do arco passado está gravando a série, ambos estão crescendo e ganhando muitos fãs. Um ponto problematizado, são os contratos assinados pelos ídolos, onde eles se comprometem a não ter nenhum relacionamento amoroso com ninguém, mas o que fazer nessa situação quando realmente se apaixonam? E se essa paixão é por uma mulher? Vemos aqui um triângulo amoroso interessante.
Nesse arco se mostra um tipo de abuso mental, os ídolos são obrigados a saber de certas coisas, mesmo que não tenham nenhuma aptidão para aquilo, como foi o caso do skate. O discurso final de Wang foi o mais puro suco da hipocrisia...
Um ponto importante, é que acima de tudo e todos, em todos os arcos, existia Wang nos bastidores moldando as situações e manipulando a todos, como se fossem marionetes.
Enfim, mostrar a realidade não agrada a todos, mas é importante que diretores e produtoras tenham a coragem de expôr o que acontece por trás das câmeras BL, para que essa indústria passe a ser igual a qualquer outra, com respeito acima de tudo.
A série é longa, cada arco tem 5 EPS, totalizando 20, mas que valem cada minuto.

Vende mientras crítica

Brillante!!! Nos vende contenido BL a la vez que lo "crítica".
(me explico, la crítica és hacia el lado más oscura de la indústria, no al BL en si).

Al principio tenía sentimientos contradictorios acerca de la serie. Me gusta el hecho de que nos muestre la parte más cruda y real de la industria del entretenimiento, pero.... nos da una crítica edulcorada, mostrándonos historias de amor entre protagonistas (!!y gracias!!).

No sé si definirlo como una "crítica camuflada" dentro de historias BL o historias BL camufladas dentro de la crítica. Sea como sea, cabe decir que las actuaciones me han encantado, los protagonistas tienen que mostrar diferentes personalidades y actuar dentro de la actuación. Para mí, consiguen transmitir estas diferentes emociones, y producen estos sentimientos encontrados que hacen que algunos de ellos te caigan bien y mal a la vez.

Es difícil valorar la serie en si al ser 4 historias diferentes (aunque enfocadas a lo mismo). Cada cual tendrá su favorita.

La verdad, la serie es para reflexionar... deberían verla.
