Not just a BL but an actual mystery thriller
I came to watch this series without much expectations. I knew the actors were newbies (except Ta and Barcode but considering their roles in Kinnporsche they have little experience) however they showed great skills. I would specially like to mention Mio, Fuaiz and Bump for their incredible acting on their first series and that too such a heavy themed one.The mystery element of this series is what kept me going till the end. I like how they unfolded it one by one. All the characters had a very profound and relevant back stories. The showcase of past and present scenarios should have been played a little differently as it killed the thrill at the middle for me when we went back in time for the first time.
Overall it was worth watching. They truly showed great acting skills. I appreciate the highly written storylines and cinematography. They really made them work hard, whether in the emotional aspect or doing physical work. This is not just another BL, it really showcased so much more than that.

Played with my mind
It's been a rollercoaster watching this series. I cannot just put out any of my reasoning ability , to describe, define or defend any of the character in this series.The acting of the cast was freaking good.... I salute to that!!
The story is also complex, as it gave me chills, and surely played with my mind.
Me not being fan of horror, was a bit hesitant to watch this series, but after I started it .. Damn!! I was hinged
Some highlights:
1. In the beginning the characters felt soo dumb, but then I was convinced that usually in horror characters are usually dumb.😅 (So we can cancel this out)
2. I Will never forgive the writers for killing White. That poor soul, his only fault was that he loved the wrong guy.
3. Not even one character of the series is likeable (except White) , but that's also the the best part as well.. as everyone is flawed.
4. Cliffhanger after Cliffhanger.. never fully completes some plots. I still have many questions.. Maybe there will be a S2..
5. WTF, was the ending.... It was already weird that Phee and Jin were living a normal life after all that's happened, but the plot twist and then sudden ending.. ... 🤷😱
6. A lot of people liked to be the Jin apologists, but sorry not me ... I absolutely disliked the character.. also felt Coppers acting a bit stiff than others , but that's still okay as it's his first acting project would like to see him more.
8. Ta Barcode chemistry is electrifying
9. Ta Copper chemistry :- Jawdrop!!!
10. Top class acting from the entire class!!
Waiting to get a final closure!!! Otherwise I wouldn't be at peace!!

Twists all the way to the end
I liked this a lot. If you prefer fluffy, this isn't for you. Not as spicy as BoC's KinnPorsche but it does have the ass slap heard round the world (Thanks,Ta). The only part that was hard to watch was the backstory of Non's disappearance. There was 1 episode where I had to just hope Barcode's character would kill them all in a later episode because the bullying was so bad😆 I liked the whole cast and it was nice to see some familiar faces again. We got to see how the characters changed over time. There were things woven into the story that led viewers down wring paths for solving what was happening. I know some viewers didn't like White dying because yes, he was totally innocent. But then life isn't always fair. A lot of twists and turns that you wouldn't be able to figure out on your own (e.g., the drugs) Even the last 10 minutes surprised me and I like that.Was this review helpful to you?

Dead Friend Forever - Not a Slasher, But a Tragic Horror Done Right
I went into Dead Friend Forever expecting a chaotic slasher series. What I got instead was something much more layered - a classic horror story built on motive, trauma, and consequence.At first, I wanted more present-timeline horror. The early episodes had that sharp tension and paranoia that made me instantly hooked. But then came the backstory-heavy stretch. Five consecutive episodes focused largely on the past felt excessive at the time. I personally prefer when flashbacks are integrated in chunks rather than stacked together.
However, once I adjusted my expectations, I realized what the show was doing. This was never meant to be just a slasher. It was a psychological horror wrapped in crime and emotional tragedy. The backstory wasn’t filler - it was foundation. Every motive, every grudge, every betrayal had weight. By the time we returned fully to the present timeline, the tension felt earned.
What I appreciated most: -
• The story had no major plot holes.
• Every mystery tied back to something meaningful.
• The characters felt human and morally ambiguous.
• The pacing never truly bored me, even during heavy exposition.
The open ending was perfect - because this story was never meant to be a happy one.
There were minor issues. At one point, a character seemed to know information he logically shouldn’t have. Another moment involved a decision that didn’t fully align with what the character knew about the drug-induced hallucinations. These were small inconsistencies, but not enough to damage the overall impact. And that’s the key word:- impact.
By the end, the series delivered the closure it had been building toward from the very beginning. Unlike some shows that build tension and then soften in the finale, this one respected its own setup.
It wasn’t the slasher chaos I initially expected, it was something heavier, more emotional, and more tragic.
And in the end, that worked in its favor.
A solid 10/10 for me.

DFF Better Than Expected
Before I write this review, I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect much. I’ve watched THC and to be honest, some of their acting was so so but I gave DFF a try because the plot was so interesting and it’s better than expected! I judged the boys too soon because oh wow, their acting improved so much! Yes of course some scenes had lack of expression but it’s barely noticeable. This show makes you anxious since episode 1 and I’m only in episode 3 and it keeps getting better and better. It has so much suspense and build up! I’m excited to see what actually happened. Now on the editing side, let’s not forget to give credit to BOC and their amazing cinematography! If there’s one thing BOC is amazing at is definitely their editing, colour and cinematography skills. Everything was well shot and edited! Overall kudos to everyone involved!Was this review helpful to you?
Respectfully, how this series even get like 8.0 rating ???
Seriously, why are you guys giving this series like rating more than 5? are you guys ok?I honestly doesnt find a joy even a bit in the first episode, it was... a MESS.
Nonsense storyline, unrealistic story, meh acting. I was tried to watch this with no expectation. But yet I still dont get over how terrible this series is. I sense there would be very bad story in this series so I will just keep going to watch some interaction but, it didn't help...
Judge me because I only watch like 2 episodes but again it wasn't my fault either. Ep 1-2 was huge turn off to begin with. I guess my standart is way too high ??? Which is i think its good for me.

I really loved this unique series in thai industry
Why this rating is low?I don't f**** care about ratings.This is a revolution in thai industry.I don't really understand what to hate about this story.It's not a stereotype lovey dovey fluffy bl .It's not even focused on bl.But this show is definitely not everyone's cup of tea.If anyone into just bl they shouldn't watch this.I started liking it from the ep 1.This series carried many emotions of mine and obviously it was a rollercoaster of many theories.I didn't expect this much since it was bl and on the top thai.But it really exceeded my expectations.
At first I loved it for the perfect cast.But one after another I was really into story.And then the music got me.Every character portrayed perfectly . That's the prove from how mauch hate,love,admire, confusion they got from us.Speciallly Bracode and Mio.Barcode in only 19 but how he was into his character, really deserve enough appreciation.And for Mio ,it never felt like it's his first time or he is not a professional.Then comes my favourite Jjay and Fuaiz,they nailed it wonderfully.Ta was successful to show his character properly.Everyone did great despite being new or old.
The ending was really mind blowing.No need of season 2 or special episode.If anyone can't handle the ending I said before it's not everyone's cup of tea.
overall it's really a fine product that I needed.
I was totally into Dff.it deserve 10/10.but we all can see good things never get proper appreciation.

triedd
so thai bl acting has this thing yk where it's not good so this doesn't deviate. I got into bl almost 2 years now? and i think its really the only tv genre where people exuse i'm not sure for what. I watch ep 1 which wasn't bad this is defiently a mystry which I was intriguied about, I started ep 2 and understanding the dire of a sitution these boys were in I can't possibly exucse their acting if I love tv dramas as much as I do. Yes most bls have iffy acting sometimes it's noticable when cringy but you move on cause it doesn't hurt the plot. This was the opposite, I wanted to continue to see barcode cause I believe everyone when they say he steals the show but a show cannot be good with one good actor. I don't speak thai but i can't help but feel like i am being pissed on when people praise the show will i see shit on my screen. Also i felt they were dragging things and it's more admirable if a write can stretch a mystery but you don't have to be boredWas this review helpful to you?
About DFF
Wow this is really got me from the 1st episode. I'm so happy to see familiar faces that we used to love in KinnPorsche era.Anyways if we talk about this series it's a group of 8 friends went on a vacation in a mountain house in the middle of a forest and other tan the 8 friends there is another friend of them that only a few people know. It's supposed to be Jin's farewell party before he's going abroad to study but it turns out that they have to face many mysterious incidents which occurs by something or someone.
The story plot is very interesting and it's based on the thailand's mythological urban legend. About the actors overall I like their acting but still it need to be improved. Usnttr is doing a great job with his character I must say that. The music choices are great.
I'm still a little bit confused about what happened to Non ( Barcode) Anyways let's find out.
If you're searching for a horror bl based story then I think you should watch this. Overall I like it even it's the 1st episode still.
Let's see what's going to happen to this 8 friends.

It was meh for me. I would add this to my list of what I casually dropped.
I would add this to my list of what I casually dropped. Why ?***
Months before the series air, I was already excited and thrilled to watch from both the summary and the concept/trailers but when the episodes started being released, I didn't start watching it right away until there was enough episodes released to binge-watch instead of waiting to watch once a week.
So on this day, there are 9 episodes out of the 12 annoounced that are already out so I decided to watch it.
The first minutes were "interesting" (let's say the 5 first minutes) then they started to get into the plot what should be good right ? Well no, because first, the group of friends that from what I understood were supposed to know each other for some time now ( two years or plus) were just so awkward to each other, even side-eyeing some so I was like wtf. Then the acting and the way it was filmed felt really cheap. I'm sorry if I'm being ruthless but that's how I felt.
I would've loved to have the nerves to go further in this first episode and more generally, in the series but they didn't managed to got me hooked. I don't think I would even give it another chance later...
Just for those who want to know, I watched 17 minutes into the series.
