Shine (Orchestric Ver.) Episode 2 Reactions
The second episode was a little slower than the first in terms of development of events, but we got a glimpse into the lives of the main characters, their past and present.

Pointless without any doubt that the story will be born, because 3 episodes are tapped in the emst.For the director: the pool scenes are NOT filmed with that camera where the drops splash on the lens and are visible!Terrible acting!I don't see the reason for pairing the same people in the series, if KeenPorsche was a good series, who guarantees that with such a terrible director, this one will be good as well? And the main actors are very weak with their acting, rather bad.The story does not seem to be bad, but it is badly paced, there is no dynamics...I wish there was a book to read!

EP2 review, overall, 8/10SHINE is undoubtedly excellent in terms of photography, transitions and casting, especially APO and SON. I prefer ep1 more because in terms of editing and scriptwriting, the logic is very good and the rhythm is also well controlled.However, in EP2, it's obvious that there were issues with the editing and rhythm again. The old problems of BOC still exist. There are two parts that are too long. First, the opening plot about KRAILERT and his ex-lover could have been told in half the time. By saving the time, the story of KRAILER and NARAN could have been told more fully. This way, the final part wouldn't be so exciting and confusing. Secondly, the part where TRIN is organizing the book is a bit too long. APO performed very well and did a great job expressing the subtle emotions. However, I think more editing could be done in the French story line. This part of the story is very important for TRIN's life choices and can better highlight TRIN's struggles.My two favorite parts: The first one is the TRIN class part. The tense atmosphere between the student and the teacher is great, and it can also be seen that APO's acting skills have improved even more (including the part where he picks up books).The second part is the passionate section between KRAILER and NARAN at the end. Apart from being a bit baffling, it's still quite good.The point I have some doubts about is: TRIN's girlfriend passed away not long ago. She was drugged and kissed once, and then fell in love with tawan. I can't understand it. Or will there be some additional details to this story later? Otherwise, it would be even more baffling than the love story of KRAILER and NARAN.

That episode finale deserves its own award. WHAT INCREDIBLE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN LERT AND NARAN. I can't wait for the next episode.

So good! Taking real lifepolitical and social issues and positioning them alongside societal issues is abrilliant decision. The acting is top notch. This is not a bl. It is more than that and that is its appeal. There is mystery and a bit of intrigue as well as sexual tension.

Episode 2 was very intriguing, excited to see the rest of this story unfold. I absolutely love the soundtrack. The flashbacks are adding context and depth to the story. I always feel bad for people trapped in loveless relationships. Especially when thier mate is attracted to another sex. Hopeless situation.
