Playboyy

Music

Are people.shiting on the music because of the effects or the soundtrack itself. I said this in another comment but like for me as a Film student/film maker yes, I will agree the effects are garbage especially during the scene when Jason Lee shoots the man that sound, I was like "Stagecoach 1939 movie did a better ass job and that wasn't even a BL) LOL. But the soundtrack is actually pretty nice. I will say this film has a lot of continuity issue like in the scene when Zouey is playing the violin and then in the next shot it vanished. I know a lot of people might not catch the detail but lord...the times I had to pause to talk about what happened (LIFE of a Film student)

?...

Be careful while watching this, it contains sex scenes so you might want to be alone and wear earphones while , which I expected, but some of them where SO OVER THE PLACE. That is not wrong, and i didn't get into the story enough because I only watched 1 episode and a half of episode 2.


i need the 500 so rest is spaces

NO PLOT! Just Sex scenes

This show literally has no viable plot. The watcher is bounced around to 6+ 'relationships' in the loosest definition. It's a worse version of Kinnporsche where the director has angled the show around pure shock value rather than any assemblance of reason. I lose braincells watching this show. I literally don't care about the mystery plot, I don't care about the playboy club, I don't care about the masochist couple. The only relationship I care about is Nont and Prom simply because they're the hottest.
This show honestly should be classified as a comedy because the modesty cups and outfits they wear are hilarious, the cups are laughably huge.

I admit, it took me over a year just to finish this one. I finally got the willpower to finish it, and I must say, near the end, it got so bad that it actually made me accept that the whole show is pure camp. Around episode 12/13, I realized that this show embraces the mess that it is, and if you just accept it for what it is, it’s actually quite good. It’s quite good how bad it is. I ended up loving it! 😭

There are a lot of things to consider about how bad the show is so good. Like for one thing, they’re supposed to be in a prestigious, elite school, aren’t they? But the setting for their scenes on campus, like the locker room or the bleachers, is all dilapidated and rundown. Actually, when I think about it, I think the majority of the settings in the series are all dilapidated and rundown places. And I also really appreciate the effort in trying to achieve aesthetically edgy scenes and settings. It’s just pure camp. It’s genius. And the fact that a lot of production choices were just bad and inconsistent, like a lot of the scenes where I’m guessing they’re supposed to be naked, but for some reason they’re still technically wearing underwear, but they have to act like they’re nude. So camp. It’s just all such a mess, but at the end, I sort of appreciate how messy it is and I kind of like it. Am I crazy? I’m not crazy. I mean, who doesn’t like butț sēx, but Jesus Christ, this show is just wild. Fuckįng in underwear? It’s like production doesn’t know how gay şex really works. Oh, my god. But then again, maybe it’s because they couldn’t really remove their underwear to begin with. Whatever. Pure messy, camp college, murder mystery, sex drama? It’s terribly bad. It’s so good. Promise! I guess I’m crazy.

Also, I love that they were really forcing the English parts for certain characters. I’m guessing it’s supposed to sound elite because speaking English is not normal for most Thai people. But I guess like father like son? Their English was so bad and awkward. I love it.

Finally, I really have to note, this is one of the only Thai shows in my memory that has acknowledged that the characters are gay. Like, they explicitly said that they are gay. As a gay person, I never really appreciated how even in this day, Thai BLs don’t explicitly say that a character is gay. I get gender is fluid, but come on. People are gay. It’s really not realistic, not accepting, or even admitting that a character is gay. 😤

Overall, this one was technically quite exhausting to get through (‘cause bǔtt sẽx), but I’d say it was still worth it. Pure camp, swear. And yes, we have a lot of potential for a season two, but considering how production went, among so many other things, I don’t know if realistically season two will still happen. But why not? More bǔtt séx. Hopefully without the underwear this time. 🤭
Respectable 8/10

P.S. Captain was the standout character for me, and shell is just so hot, Oh, my god. Give this man a leading role, and make sure he exposes dat asş! 😳

one does not simply review playboyy the series

What can I say about Playboyy? It has some of the best thriller plot writing I've seen in a bl. It has horrible dialogue and scene blocking. I watched every single episode rapt with attention. I actually screamed aloud (derogatory) at one sex scene. Every time they made those poor actors speak English I wanted to jump out a window. Recounting what happened in any given episode to my friends took at least 500 words, and that was usually just the last 15 minutes of that ep. There are like five sex scenes in each episode of varying quality and I think I actually learned something about the characters from each one. I don't think anyone takes their underwear off possibly ever because they had an underwear sponsorship.

Look, I can't in good conscience recommend this show. I don't even know if I really enjoyed it. But I was fascinated, and I was intrigued. When the last episode ended and revealed there was going to be a season 2, I resigned myself to the fact that I will watch it, even if some of the events toward the end made me go wtf was that.

To actually provide some sort of review, it's a thriller-mystery featuring a twin swap. Nont/Nant was actually the best part of the show for me--I was surprised both by how much I liked the character and by the performance given by Dech, who I think did a solid job with a difficult role. Out of the...seven?? I think?? couples in this show, Nont and Prom were by far my favorite, both because I think the actors bounced off each other well and because I enjoyed the dynamic of Prom assisting Nont in his revenge. Did I think the part where they were pointing guns at each other and then started making out sexy? Yes, because it was.

It's funny, because the show kind of presents itself as being about Zouey, who is pivotal to the story, but honestly faded from my attention early on--though given events at the end of the season, this might have been intentional. If I ever manage to rewatch, I'll have to keep an eye on him, because I can't tell if they had his arc fully planned from the beginning or if they adjusted it as they went along. Him and Teena were largely uninteresting to me but also did have the sex scene that made me scream. Take that as you will.

As I said, I found the plotting/structure of the thriller really compelling in how and when it revealed information about the characters. The first few episodes are incredibly confusing because they present you with almost the entire main cast at once and for a long time, you won't know why some of them are important. Did I think some of the writing choices were absolutely batshit? Sure, but sometimes that's just how it goes in a thriller. What it was good at was providing all the characters with layers of motivations and interpersonal relationships to complicate the mystery.

Also, when it says they use sex to solve the mystery, they weren't joking about that. There was a point in like episode 4 where I went oh my god...they're actually using sex to solve the mystery...

As for the characters themselves, I appreciated that very few of them were one-note, even the ones who I thought were underwritten. I think some of the relationships were more compelling due to a combo of relevance to the main story and performance. But with this many couples, there's kinda something for everyone.

I don't know, gang. It's a hard show to review. I felt like it was something that happened to me more than it was something I watched. If you do decide to watch it, know that it takes a couple episodes to really get going (not with regard to sex--they start that right away) and that the list of content warnings at the beginning is no joke. It isn't an entirely heavy show--there are a lot of comedic moments, some intentional and quite a few that were probably unintentional--but your brain will feel scrambled. I'll see you when season 2 airs.

Had high expectations

I mean, at first it was good but after a while it became like a soap opera or something. I like some of the characters and I also dislike some of them, the story was interesting but it was ruined because of the last two episodes. I was really confused.
There were also moments that made me think: "Nooo why would you do that?!" and moments that I really enjoyed. I didn't really like the bad English that some of them were using, it felt rather cringy.

The Couples:

Teena+Zouey:
I wished to see them more since they were kind of cute.

Soong+First:
Toxic. Somewhat cute. Made me say "oooof" a lot.

Jump+Porsche:
Also toxic and I didn't really like Porsche in the beginning but my mind changed when I saw them in the end.

Keen+Captain:
Not my favorite. Captain sucks.

Prom+Nont:
Liked them a lot.

Aob+Puen:
Also liked them a lot.

Nuth+Phob:
Ehhhh not my cup of tea.

Don't judge

Honestly some of the reviews I read, looks like it's from people who can't handle a sex scene where they actually show a little skin and movement. And beacuse there is, they can only focus on that and they forget the story. Grow up. It's easy to dismiss a show based on low ratings, but sometimes the true value lies beyond the numbers. This is an example of that. I personally found the story really interesting and I hope for a second season.

"Playboyy" is a bold and captivating BL series that doesn't shy away from exploring mature themes with flair. The show, rated 18+, features nudity and some graphic sexual content, which are integrated to enhance its portrayal of intimacy and relationships. While these elements add depth to the story, they may not be suitable for all viewers. (you can see a BL , not like it of out of personal preference without leaving a bad review)

The chemistry between the leads is palpable, and the narrative is both engaging and emotionally resonant. Supported by high-quality production and a dynamic cast, "Playboyy" is a must-watch for those looking for a mature and meaningful addition to the BL genre.

The series includes scenes with nudity and some explicit content. If you can't handle that, it's not for you. Simple.

interesting but it could have been even better

ok, so I watched this series because of the comments and I can say that I didn't find anything scandalous.
What instead seemed exaggerated to me was the multitude of filler characters, I understood that there are topics that need to be debated, such as drugs, BDSM, ownership on somebody, crime, sex, sex everywhere with anyone, at any time, but I would have preferred fewer characters and with the development of the crime thread.
For example, I thought the way Nant died was very stupid (he was waving his hands like a cockroach when "Phop" cam from behind and put his hand on his nose and mounth, him being taller and stronger than "Phop")

what I didn't understand:

1. - "Zouey" in the first episode is a virgin and his friends call him a male whore so that he can finally have sex poor him, and then we find out that in fact he had been raped and his friends knew about it ... and then I wonder how his friends understand rape that way, why this side was not developed, why the show does't let us know how he managed to get over it ...... don't tell me that "Teena's" patience did everything, because then I think we don't understand what a rape is and what repercussions it leaves on a person's mind and life, plus it would have been extremely interesting to debate the subject of a man's rape - because most of the time we only talk about the rape of a woman, but not of a man ... and it could have been something extremely interesting
2. - "Zouey" leaves the paintings of his obsession covered by a cloth in the middle of the room and tells "Teena" not to look... oh... seriously????...
3. - in the last episode we found out that "Zouey" was obsessed, in love and RAPED by Jason Lee ..... like WHAT??????????? ... HOW ???????? .......... more details were definitely needed (because when "Zouey" won the scholarship it was as if they met for the first time, him and LEE)
4. - it seems that "Zouey" had some stronger feelings towards Nant, it was a little bit more than just friend love from "Zouey's" part ... and we don't know how Nant was feeling about him ... could there have been a development?????
5. - I didn't like this exaggeration of sex anytime, anyway, with anyone, anywhere ... I mean, if someone tears your ass and you're bleeding, how much would you want someone to come and give you a handjob??? .... like .... WTF???? , or, you have to perform a dozen a night for a dozen of customers, because your crush was mad on you and didn't want to work and left it all to you, and then your crush comes to you to make love .... like ??? really??? aren't you tired???? you were the only one working that night ... like take a break, sleep ... eat ... and then fuck again
6. - all the actors had the same underpants ... why???? ... at one point it was funny, but then ... really????

what i liked:

1. - the relationship between the 4 friends: - if it had been a little more developed it would have been even better, but it was beautifully brought to life by the actors
2. - I really liked the relationship between: "Zouey" + "Teena" and "First" + "Soong"

what I would have liked to be more developed:

1. - "Zouey's" rape
2. - "Zouey's" feelings for Nant and for LEE (he was obssesd with his rapist - that is a topic)
3. - I would have liked Lee's character to be much more developed, him being a negative character, and it seemed that he could play it very well - I really would have liked to see him play this tyrant who owns a club and who rapes and ... so on
4. - and even the character "Prom" should have been more developed (just to be the one who wears masks when having sex and that's it, it's a shame because he's a good actor)

I would really like there to be a 2-nd season at some point just to see what happens to the characters, how they develop, what happens Nont

Unironically Interesting

This is a series that you either absolutely love or hate, I don't think there could be an in-between. If you're someone who deeply cares about good writing and story-telling, this is probably not the right series for you. But if you're like me and love morally fucked characters and non-stop drama, you're going to absolutely adore this.

I'll get the bad stuff out of the way first:
1. It loses its direction quite a bit because of the insane amount of side stories. I don't hate this because it's still easy enough to follow, but not all side stories are essential to the main plot. This series could've benefit from someone in the writing room saying "maybe that's enough" at one point. Because of the insane amount of side plots, they did not really have time to flesh out any of the issues fully. I know the issues of drugs, prostitution, grooming, and murder do come hand in hand a lot but it would have been heaps better if they had one topic in the spotlight the entire series rather than have each of these issues take turns being in the spotlight. It is a little bit too ambitious for its own good unfortunately.

2. Not all characters were made equal. I wish I could say that I will still remember all the characters next week, but I know that I will definitely forget at least half of them. Unfortunately, some of the characters are literal dozens. I'm not even talking about the morally black characters, those people are still memorable. I'm talking about characters like Jump, the reporter, Captain's boyfriend whose name I've already forgotten, and tons of others. Even Porsche is so uninteresting compared to his other friends. Honestly if they were going to put this many people in the series, they have to make sure that each of them are interesting at least.

3. Intentions and motives aren't very clear. I think one of the reasons that the ratings are this low is because the characters are not the easiest to connect to. It is so important to ensure that even if your main character is an absolute piece of shit, the audience can still understand why they are that way. Unfortunately I think the motives established here is just not enough for most people which alienated a huge portion of the initial audience.

4. Too many buttcheeks. I've worked in hospitals and aged care where I see ass on the daily but this series still contained way too many buttcheeks for my liking.

Now onto the good:
1. Trigger warning is very clear. This was very obviously a "watch at your own risk" series so people know what they are in for. None of the shady stuff done in the series are romanticized in any way and this actually speaks about consent in a more authentic manner compared to even the fluffiest BLs. All of the characters are morally grey at best but the series never really disguised them as anything else which I fully appreciate.

2. Touched on complex issues without downplaying the seriousness of the situation.

3. This series is genuinely interesting which is not something I can always say when it comes to thai BLs. A lot of action or darker series often fail at making me care about the action side of the series because of how much emphasis they put on the romantic storyline. The action becomes secondary and oftentimes feels like a filler in between the romance scenes. This series is different because I care about the plot as much as I care about the relationships.

4. Series is sex-positive and doesn't demonize kinks. I love that this series doesn't shy away from casual sex, kink exploration, adventurous sex even after getting in a relationship. I find that a lot of series involving casual sex often end up going into the "We're going to stick with vanilla sex now because I'm in love with you and I want to make love instead of fuck" which is hugely annoying to me. People can be in love and still have rough sex if they want to! I'm glad that this series doesn't go down that road.

5. Chemistry between actors were amazing. This doesn't only apply to the romantic couples because at one point I was kinda rooting for Zouey and Nont/Nant to get together. Their friendship is seriously so homoerotic and their tension is just so tangible.

6. Prom is so hot. I want him.


Overall, this series is definitely not for everyone but I absolutely adore this. I am wishing for a season two and I hope Zouey and Nont kiss at one point because they obviously want each other.

Pretty Interesting and Different

The 18+ rating on this is definitely needed, as there are very adult scenes and themes, though sometimes the NC scenes weren't necessary to the plot and therefore could have been left out. Some characters got more than others for no particular reason, as well. The series almost gives off softcore porn vibes at times, just without the nudity, right down to the music, but overall it's very sex positive in the way that we see different characters who all have different relationships with sex, sometimes bad and sometimes good.

The pacing was a bit slow to start, the story didn't really pick up until the 3rd or 4th episode and there's quite a few characters to keep straight at first. I thought the plot was interesting and the twin infiltrating his missing twin's friend group to find out what happened to him reminded me of the Not Me series, though obviously the plots are very different.

I liked the focus and handling of the sex work industry and how we see both good and bad come from it. i liked some of the couple dynamics a lot, particularly Puen/Aob and Prom/Nont, but some characters felt a bit under-developed to me, namely Keen, and I would have liked to have learnt more about Prom as well, though i adored him anyway. One thing i found super odd and kind of distracting was the frequent but really random use of english between characters that wasn't really intrinsic to the story or the plot, especially when none of them were fluent and everyone spoke thai natively, it was a bit jarring to have half conversations spoken in english for no reason.
