Last Meal Universe (2025)

comedy that works sometimes (watch suggestions)

Overall: wish it would have focused more on romantic/sweet moments of the main couple as I did not find the side plots interesting. The series is based on a book which I haven't read and I'm reviewing the series based on its own merits. 8 episodes about 50 min each. Aired here https://www.oned.net/video/6369378014112 with English subtitles.

Content Warning: mental health struggles

What I Liked
- the entrance of one character was funny and I chuckled a couple of times
- different premise for a BL series
- the grandpa

Room For Improvement
- a character repeatedly called the other character 'bestie'
- what's with the random kid that keeps hitting him/running into him
- could have started the 1st episode at 15 minutes and not miss anything
- wasn't into the side plots with the stylist/barista and the cats, the guy was a jerk in episode 4 so even his plot line with his grandpa didn't pull at my heartstrings as it should have)
- nonsense that they wouldn't send their best after multiple failed attempts

Light-hearted and funny ,I m obsessed with this series but it's not for everyone

'Last Meal Universe' is a fluffy and cute story! I’m already liking them, Shun, the awkward alien engineer who’s supposed to blow up Earth but gets sidetracked by Chondan drool-worthy Thai cooking😋Pure genius. They have a nice chemistry with funny and romance, The whole vibe is so playful and bizarre, with Shun’s deadpan "I must destroy this planet… but first, lunch" energy cracking me up every time. The food looks so tempting 😋 I heard about Thailand food and always wanted to watch something food related.That slow guy in ep 2 was so damn funny and Mr. Peter is dead 🤣 my stomach hurts from laughing ,what I love most, though, is how it celebrates food as a love language—every dish feels like a character in itself.I love it's OST feel good to listen 😍I’m hooked and can’t wait to see how it wraps up!" I have watched 7 episode already but I m disappointed that it has only 8 ep
The chemistry btw them is quite good,it's fluffy and lighthearted but people who like mature BL can skip this bcoz it's not for them,I will not be surprised if it has no kissing scene
I love ep 7,This episode give me rollercoaster of emotions sad+lovely moments+scared or excited about police 🙄☺️☺️😂 overall good 😍 especially this time shun expression was different I think 🤔 when Chondan said "best friend" spoon fall from Shun hand,he sounds like "LOVE" ,his expression so cute 🥺🥰I think Shun is already liking him

Watered down BL

I don't know the source material for this. But this is a very disappointing BL series. If this was marketed as Bromance, maybe I'll accept it. But having no romantic Tension at all until the very last Episode? Even KBL that are known as very conservative, can do better than this.
.
Lets start with the story. Well its an intriguing Mess. I don't know wether i should considered this as a stupidly funny, or just straight up "huh?" level stupid. There's too many dispensable character. Dim and the old man, while they may convey a subtle messaged for Shun that people in this planet matters to. But I can't help but to skip some of their scene.

The Cat turn human was an okay addition. Its a comedic relief for certain times. And then there's Tan. She could be a very compelling arc with Dim. Instead of friend to enemy, they could turn from Friend to lovers. Bridge by the coffee.

The main story, was meh. It was too slow to build up. And it just went full on Tesla mode at the last Episode. Feel rushed at best, missing a whole Ep worth of build up at worst. There's too many filler that didn't have any impact to the overall story. Well, cause its just a filler. Gave us more content and build up!

And then to main couple. Which, I'm not sure if I can call them a couple at all. Its, a mess. Gun acting was actually good. I can't help but to feel sad every time he made that longing look on his eyes. Those tear-y eyes? Bro, he was born to cry. 😭 Every gaze, every scolding, just everything... He is a really good Actor. I mean, the works that he's done so far speak for itself.

Ritz? Im So Sorry man. Your comedic act, was okay. Your cry scene? I can't feel anything. It reminds me of Sarawat 😭 It was that bad. And your kiss? You've done nothing in the kissing scene 😒

So overall, it was an additional to my "Watch it then forgwt about it" shelf. Will i recommend this? Maybe not. Am i gonna rewatch this? Only if i have nothing to watch, and probably skip to the last EP.

As for Gun, this is for you. If you're serious about diving into the BL world, please find a better studio. Domundi, BOC, or at least GMM. You are a talented actor. And those Kiss you gave for Ritz, uh hum... That looks promising. 😚

Não Espere Muito, É uma série cansativa!

Onde estava o diretor dessa série durante a gravação? Ele não revisou o roteiro, não analisou as transições de cena, nada? Quando a série começou, confesso que tive esperança de que seria boa, uma mistura de comédia romântica com ficção, mas, com o tempo, a situação só foi se deteriorando. A culpa não reside nos atores, que, aliás, deram o seu melhor em um roteiro mal concebido. O ator Ritz, conhecido como “Shun” no BL “Why RU?” de 2020, teve uma breve participação, enquanto Gun Napat, “Chondan”, é um veterano na indústria do entretenimento, embora não me lembre de sua atuação em BLs. É inegável que ambos foram bons em seus papéis. O que realmente falhou foi um direcionamento mais eficaz do diretor em relação ao roteiro.

Outro ponto a ser destacado é a inclusão de Pepo Nutchapan, “Dim”, e Dear Napat, “Taen”, cuja presença não trouxe coesão à narrativa, deixando um final para eles que parecem desconectados. Enfim, essa é uma
