Twins (2023)

It’s okay

At first I was just watching this to fill up my time. The plot was either too slow or too fast at certain parts. It was hard to tell which twin it was at some parts. I was trying to consider what was different about their personalities while I was watching this and when I was sure which twin it was, it wasn’t and that was kinda frustrating. There was many plot holes and I didn’t even know what was going on through some of the story lol. It was SOOOO frustrating to watch First give Sprite so many chances to explain that I had to stop watching it and come back to it later because it was getting annoying.
A lot of things are unnecessary and could be easily cut out
Overall would I recommend this, maybe?

Sorta clear story but it was just very confusing and unhinged

Identical twins Sprite and Zee (played by the same actor) (although for the times they’re were shown as younger, they got an identical pair of twins ir to play them for flashbacks) Zee initially lives with they’re over dominating mother who is shown only care about him when it comes down to only volleyball and her relationship with the volleyball coach; she’s shown not to give a crap about her other son unless it has something to do with his brother. Sprite lives with dad in the beginning and while not as over zealous as the mom, he still has a close relationship to Sprite’s Jujitsu practices and the coach himself.

So when two jealous guys on Sprite’s team hire someone to beat him up outside a restaurant one night… the guy mistakes Zee for his brother and he gets assaulted so bad he ends up in the hospital for months; at this point Sprite takes on being Zee until he recovers but as well must maintain his jiu-jitsu practice as well.

Biggest problems- at some point during the midway of the series at least for a couple of episodes it’s really hard to tell which twin is which unless you pay really close attention to they’re personalities (but there’s a part where Sprite says to First not to worry about it and that just caused more confusion)

Zee is just unlikable his personality is hot garbage and he’s a jerk to everyone including his own brother not even thanking him just chastising everyone around him except for his long time love interest Salmon who is also coincidentally the volleyball teams manager. He deserves complete unhappiness for just being arrogant and malicious to all especially knowing the relationship that developed between First and his brother but basically cause heartache and pain for First and derails Sprite’s chances with him

Sprite- very relatable is chill to some extent doesn’t go around and effs up peoples brains and generally cares about everyone on both his teams and especially his genuine feelings for First

The fact that Zee gets his girl in the end and makes it the national team while Sprite still has to try to win First’s heart back is just so one sided and unfair to Sprite and not forgetting that family dinner scene where all four are together but the mom just seems too comfy now despite her earlier behavior and general neglect of one of her two sons?

Long ass story good parts mostly were Sprites reactions and relationships, Sam and Tan were so cute together, I did not care for the fangirl subplot especially at the end when Nakhom’s so call friends just admitted that the only reason they hung out with her is cause of her brother and that she’s rich god the stupid pettiness was disgusting I generally felt for her.

A good first watch? Yea but as a rewatch the value is set low maybe if you fast forwarded through a non critical parts then yea I guess

Good Series; Really Lousy Script

The allegory behind this theme is fascinating. Its screenplay is where it fell flat. If they had followed the initiative of the story, the saga would have been a way more compelling BL. Instead, it became spasmodic. The receptivity behind this story is very good; the screenwriting is simply awful. Frankly despite its awful screenplay, this is well acted, and the actors and actresses did the best they could with a lousy script. This series is deeper than what it is given credit for. It gets lost in the endless and totally unnecessary cat-and-mouse, ‘enemies-to-lovers’ fiasco. Thai BLs absolutely need to get out of the rut of being formulaic. This series was a shameful waste. This was good; it just was not great. But it could have been.

☙〠 IT IS WHAT IT IS...( IT IS WHAT IT IS...) 〠❧

I think the premise plot is really interesting.
For those who have seen Not me the series as me, I thought that they handled very well the edition and passage, from one twin to another; At the very beginning it was clear, somehow in the middle, it got a little confused but still understandable;

I liked ⚡︎TenTuss⚡︎ couple, the one that played Mike and Jack ( volleyball captain),their chemistry was top knot , I'm shocked that they DON'T ENDED UP TOGETHER !!! When nothing made sense they were there for us, delivering ... I enjoyed every moment they got screen time, it's not easy to a side couple BE WANTED THAT BAD,(at least for me)!!!!

Can't pass without mentioning that I loved, how they symbolically brought the puzzle between the siblings, showing their understanding, care, forgiveness and new beginning;

Overall, it was a good show, focusing on their sportive life, what I really appreciated, but I think there's still room for improvement :

With 12 episodes I can't understand how:
The twins, Salmon and First's characters were light and without further development;

⇧ Starting by the twins - Once they switched places and have to live each other lives, I was expecting to see P'Zee making efforts to talk nice with his teammates, and to better himself before starting pursuing Salmon. And HE HAD THE CHANCE TO DO THAT having Thun, Sprite's friend the most sociable and trustworthy person, so HOW COME...

⇧ Then we have P'Sprite, he seemed to be the cool, chill and carefree version of P'Zee. So it was predictable that when the time comes, that he realised that he fell in love, he W-O-U-L-D undoubtedly confess his love AND tell the true about his identity because he is the twin that "ruins everything", according to P'Zee's optic.
How-e-ver, he's unable to tell P'First the truth from the 7th episode that he realised his feelings, so that means that he passed half of the show without telling the truth; I just think that his actions doesn't match with the image they transmitted on viewer's spirit, and he had another opportunity on 9th episode, at the mall , but it was clear for me that he wasn't bothered by being called by someone else's name(☀︎)... In brief, he doesn't even put an effort even to say a metaphor, or potential clues;
And despite the fact, that I liked Sprite's character the most,=(I swear to you guys that I liked his character the most)=, with all his flaws, I think that he needed to suffer more, because he sustained a big lie, he was easily forgiven ,but with one episode left what was I really expecting ?

⇧ Salmon...(uhhh), she seemed to have a crush on P'Sprite, maybe that started because of their identical physical appearance but then, when she got to know him, she liked how approachable he(P'Sprite), made people be around him, although she gave me the impression of being a little selfish. I hoped that the friendship that grew up between Sprite and her, would have some impact on the story, but she acted as an outsider;

⇧ And P'First... he had multiple chances to investigate "P'Zee", especially at the start when he don't knew his intentions; why he didn't follow "P'Zee" around when he sneaked out the dormitory, to know what he was doing ??? When "P'Zee" was talking on the phone why he doesn't gather more informations and was hot-tempered ?? At the mall, he saw his partner's reaction plus the warm/cold treatment he received ; From one side or another I hoped that the truth was find sooner;But do I really care about these details ? N-OOOO,I still enjoyed the show though ♥︎♡

✬At the end, no matter how many options I had on mind... ☙IT IS WHAT IT IS ❧

An Unsavory Ending

Look as much as I love my boys interactions and whatnot that ending has me a bit sour in the mouth.

Like adding the scene of the friends ganging up on the sister without any resolution for her felt like such an annoyance, cause now I personally NEED to see her go through her own resolution of finding actual better friends and those two girl get their karma.

Plus the fact that we don't get a moment of the twins together with their partners in a group interaction kinda bugged me as well cause not even an apology or something to better clear the air.

And the whole "I like what we flhave now, you're my best friend but I could not see you as anything other than friends" by Jack made me wanna fight.

Sam really is my light and soul and the whole bright reason to be happy. Coulda got more TanSam scenes but I'm happy with it.

The national team picks with little to no cheering up or celebration for either of sides that did and did not get picked just felt more like at "well why did I have to see this"

FirstSprite scene on the court was cute and all but that moment of them laughing was too long and felt forced at that point.

Zee and his girl scene seemed a little outta place and could a been a good moment for FirstZee to happen to walk by and show up but they didn't and it was just welp.

The drugged out "I miss Koh" moment was also a little filler based feeling.

Lack of development for many characters has me feeling a little bugged by it.

Overall last episode could have been maintained differently to feel like a happy ending cause four pivotal moments made me feel it needs more.

i don’t know why but i’m gonna continue it

I have very mixed feelings about this series. First episode was quite boring, second and third episodes were definitely better, although not perfect at all. In general, the story is not original, slow-paced and not credible. The actors are clearly trying their best, and I saw that for many of them it’s the first acting project, so not terrible to be the first time, they definitely have time to improve. In spite of everything I’ve said so far, there’s something that is making me want to continue it, at the moment at least, probably some sparks of chemistry between the main characters (it’s not great, but it’s okay, I think it will get better in the next episodes), and I’m quite interested in what could possibly happen in the story. Or maybe I just need something to watch on Fridays, lol.
I wouldn’t exactly recommend, but you can give it a try and see if you like it, which I think it’s possible if you like the enemies to lovers trope (and if you lower your expectations).

Story

After watching the series I really enjoyed it. It's certainly not one of the worst BLS.The actors did a pretty good job..My favourite pairing was Sam and
Tan and I was hoping to see more of them being loved up.Sam was sweet and would have been a great match for Sprite.The pairing of First and Sprite although they played the parts well I didn't think they were
ideally suited.Ihink the height of First put me off. The
storyline was decent enough.Had a few flaws but all in
all it was good. There was plenty of male testerone
flying about and really good-looking males to keep you riveted.
Well-done to everybody involved.

Go watch Not Me it is much better

This story is similar to the Not Me serie by OffGun.The concept is almost the same the only thing that is different is this serie includes sports.while I would have liked it if the writing is not poor.There was no need to extend the truth to the last episode.There are many things that are missing.I am saying this with my experience that gagaoolala is not providing good content.If this channel is giving you 30 series in a year.Only 3 would be great.I am not saying it without any reason.Me as a bl watcher thinks that why everything in these series have to good in the last episode.I mean this is the purpose of last episode but if they have revealed the truth earlier and then Pfirst should be upset.Then sprite should reconcile with him that would have been a very good plot.And PZee should consult with his mother that she only cared about her wish and that ruined the relationship between the twins.Like guys I am really disappointed in this series' poor writing.

Nothing like the trailer but not in a bad way~

I absolutely love this and not just cuz First looks like if Hendery and Xiao Jun(WayV) had a child. In a way, I'm totally ok that they didn't stick to the trailer. Like Sure it kinda just makes it another collage BL BUT It's super cute and so funny and I'm having the time of my life. I am absolutely feral for the reveal and I want it now but I under stand the wait for plot reasons and it just makes me anticipate it more. On one hand Sprite could very easily and SHOULD tell First like right now and I'm sure it would be fine but on the other hand I want a big and dramatic reveal xD

Very Fun Very Cute Worth watching 100%

finished update: It was perfect and i loved it~ still 100%

Loved it, but the writing was so bad!

So, the premise in interesting, but the writing is so bad. This is kinda the criticism I have with most thai shows. IDK if its because of bad subtitles or if the story is actually that bad, but this show had so much wasted potential.

I actually quite liked First. I know a lot of people did not like Ryan's acting, but I thought he came across a lot more natural than many newbies - and he *IS* a newbie! While I really could not empathize with Zee and how he treated people, I did think that Frame did a much better job playing Zee than playing Sprite. Also, if Sprite was pretending to be Zee shouldn't he also act like Zee so that he passes for Zee? First has known Zee since they were kids, how does he not know about Sprite. I get that the parents were divorced and the families were not in contact, but the coach seemed like he was close friends with their mom. Sprite was so exaggerated and comical I could not with him. I did love the way Sprite fell for First and tried to make the team a team despite his brother, but it just seemed to strange to me that the team just accepted that this person who is acting nothing like Zee is Zee.

I also didn't understand why Sprite did not confide in First like a bajillion episodes ago. Your lover keeps calling you by your siblings name. Isn't that an ick? Shouldn't he deserve to know who he's sleeping with if you reach that point? I think that was messed up! Especially when Zee and the Girl were involved and Sprite kept insisting he wasn't involved with her. Like what did you think was going to happen. Zee seems to despise First, what did Sprite think was going to happen?

TL;DR: I thought the cast did a fairly good job given how bad the writing was. It is worth a watch if you're interested in movies like parent trap / she's the man and etc that involve twins switching places with each other. Its one of the few BLs focused on Sports so that was also interesting.
