GMMTV finally getting a bigger budget
I've love SeaKeen since Only Boo and I see them developing more and more, which makes me very happy.There's something I would add to this series - the OST sung by Keen. I know it's only 4 episodes, but he has such an angelic voice that it would be a shame not to add it.
Also I love the self-promo in the first ep XDD When Eer was watching Break-Up service i saw that the video was ending at 1:27 and I dont think its a coincidence ESPECIALLY because most of the GMMTV artists are nctzens
I don't quite understand the students when they found out Mawin is Seer TK. He may not be an actual fortune teller, but his advice has helped others so I don't see any problem (if they just feel lied to I kinda understand)
There's also something I noticed about Mawin. He probably has autism. He was quite non-verbal around others, used advanced language, literally is a mathematic genius and he never had any friends but what I noticed the most was that he really likes listening to the radio. When he showed Eer what he was listening to, he started talking a lot about it, which in my opinion is a special interest. To add even more, Eer then said that he never heard him say a longer sentence before.

Liked this more than H2H
After H2H i didn't have high expectations from this couple but looks like they do have some good dramas in their basket. I really liked this story. I was expecting it to be more supernatural like SurfJava's story but turns out this one is pretty normal. Just a jid pretending to be a fortune teller cz he can't make friends. This reminded me of My school president in a lot of ways. My heart kinda ached for Mavin other than him being bad with people, people hating him cz he is good at something and doesn't seem to be trying hard just felt unfair and relatable but unfortunately irl people don't regret doing such things like the camp kids did.Overall i liked it the only thing that bothered me is that we didn't get a timeskip to see if they stayed together after Err returned.. the ending kinda felt complete n incomplete to me

Very high schooler love story
I need everyone to sit down because I have news. I actually… LIKED THIS SERIES. LIKE ACTUALLY LIKED IT. And trust me, I was just as shocked as you are right now because when I found out Sea and Keen were the pairing again in one of the MuteLuv stories… My immediate reaction was MISS GURLLLLL IM TIRED.Because I swear these two keep getting the soft fluffy, comedic projects and after a while it starts feeling like eating plain toast every day. Not bad. But also… WHERE IS THE FLAVOR??? Like okay, Only Boo! was fine because that was their first series together so I accepted the fluff. But then Head 2 Head happened and I was like …girl this is kinda boring. So when I saw they were paired again I truly expected nothing. My expectations were on the floor. Actually no. My expectations were six feet underground.
But listen… I’M SO GLAD I GAVE THIS SERIES A CHANCE. Because BOYYYYYY this was actually refreshing to watch. Like I caught myself smiling at the screen multiple times like an idiot and I had to pause and ask myself "WHY AM I BLUSHING??? 😭
Also before we start — yes this review will be short. Because babes… IT’S A 4 EPISODE MINI SERIES.
What kind of dissertation do you want from me???
____________________________________
a) Plot
Fast pacing. BUT it doesn’t feel rushed. And honestly for a 4 episode series, the pacing is actually handled really well.
The introduction works.
The slow burn works.
The comedy works.
Everything flows nicely from beginning to end. The only tiny thing I wish they added was a reunion scene after the time skip. Like imagine if after four years they met again at the airport and the series ended there. HELLO??? That would’ve been such a romantic cinematic moment. But it’s not a big issue. The ending we got is still cute.
Now let’s talk about the story. The plot starts when Err starts asking an online fortune teller for advice on how to win a scholarship to study abroad. And that mysterious fortune teller is Seer TK. When TK tells Err that the key to his success is to make his rival Mawin fall in love with him… Err starts paying attention to Mawin more and more.
And guess what happens next? BABY BOY FALLS FOR REAL. Classic. Predictable. BUT CUTE. And honestly the story captures that innocent 18-year-old type of love really well.
Not dramatic.
Not toxic.
Not overly sexualized.
Just awkward, sweet teenage feelings. And I actually liked that a lot. Even the cinematography looked really nice and clean for a mini series. So yeah… Plot wise? No complaints from me.

b) Characters
> Err played by Keen Suvijak
Okay I need to say something first. I genuinely expected Err to be the same type of character Keen always plays. You know the one: Clumsy. Competitive. Talkative. A little annoying. But surprisingly??? Err is actually different here. Yes he wants to win the scholarship, but he’s not overly jealous of Mawin’s intelligence. And I like that his decision to contact Seer TK comes from his friend Benz suggesting it. Also THANK GOD the show didn’t drag out the sexual confusion storyline.
Because if Err spent three episodes going “OMG DO I LIKE BOYS???” I would’ve lost my patience immediately 🙄 Instead he just accepts his feelings pretty quickly and moves on. WE LOVE EFFICIENCY. I also really like that Err is willing to admit when he’s wrong and actually apologizes to Mawin. Communication??? In a BL series??? WE WON TODAY.
Honestly I have zero issues with Err as a character.
> Mawin played by Sea Dechchart
First of all… THIS MAN CAN SWITCH FROM HOT TO CUTE IN 0.2 SECONDS AND IT’S CONFUSING MY BRAIN 😭 Because in Head 2 Head he was giving full hot boy energy. And here??? Suddenly he looks like an innocent 18 year old student. SIR PICK A STRUGGLE.
Anyway Mawin as a character is actually pretty interesting. He’s quiet. Reserved. Doesn’t talk much. But he never rejects Err when Err wants to partner up or study together. He just kind of goes with the flow. And honestly… I kinda like that vibe. He’s calm and unbothered most of the time. My only tiny complaint is that he’s a bit too nonchalant sometimes. Like when Err confronts him about why he didn't attend the exam… SIR SAY SOMETHING. EXPLAIN YOURSELF. DON’T JUST STAND THERE LOOKING PRETTY 😭
But overall I still liked Mawin’s character.
____________________________________
c) Overall
Honestly? I loved it. Sometimes the simplest stories work the best. Watching this series reminded me how pure and innocent first love at 18 can feel. And I really appreciate that the kiss scenes were simple and soft. Not overly sexual. Just two teenage boys expressing their feelings. That’s it. And it works beautifully.
Anyway y’all already know my rule: I never rewatch series unless it’s really good.
But this one??? Hmm… I might actually rewatch it someday. That’s how much I enjoyed it.
Final rating? 10/10. 🫶

A must watch BL series about high school love
The love between two male high schoolers in this series came naturally. No one wanted to change the other, they helped each other in their own ways. Even there are misunderstanding, of course there always be so we could be pissed off, they solved them peacefully since they were both intelligent students lol. Sea’s acting improved a lot since “Only Boo”, Keen is still as good as before, or maybe more improve. There’s no OST in this series so the BGM is on point because there’s no song to promote lol.Was this review helpful to you?

Mu-Te-Luv: Fortune Says Hi
Ok, essa série vai ser dividida em histórias/arcos, e, pelo que parece, serão sete no total. Então vou comentando cada um conforme for saindo e, no fim, dou meu parecer geral. Começando pelos quatro primeiros episódios, Mu-Te-Luv: Fortune Says Hi, que conta a história de dois garotos: Err e Mawin. Os dois são superdotados e competem por uma bolsa de estudos no exterior, mas o Mawin tem um “algo a mais” que deixa tudo mais divertido de assistir.Eles são fofíssimos, de verdade. Eu bato palmas pros dois atores porque conseguiram me encantar de um jeito muito natural. O Mawin tem aquele jeitinho mais fechado, introspectivo, super concentrado no que gosta, principalmente nos programas de rádio que ele ouve. Quando ele começa a falar todo felizinho sobre isso para o Err me deixou toda bobinha de amores, ele é muito fofo.
Já o Err é mais aberto, e cheio de energia. Ele provoca, puxa conversa, e tem essa vibe leve que acaba quebrando a barreira que o Mawin ergue ao redor de si. O contraste entre os dois é ótimo de assistir: um é reservado e observador, o outro é expressivo e meio bagunceiro no melhor sentido possível. A dinâmica entre eles funciona direitinho. Tem química, tem essa tensãozinha adolescente cheia de olhares demorados e sorrisos contidos. É impossível não ficar com um sorrisinho bobo assistindo os dois juntos.
Apesar de ser um clichêzinho colegial do tipo enemies to lovers, foi bem feito. Conseguiu me deixar com o coração quentinho e, pra ser bem honesta, até as partes mais emocionais me deixaram emotiva. É simples, nada muito mirabolante, só uma história leve, com dois garotos encantadores e uma construção que faz você querer continuar assistindo.

um grande petisco
A história não é grande coisa, mas a produção está impecável. Dá pra ver que foi tudo muito bem feito e a série é visualmente bonita. Não tem muito além dos 4 episódios deles, mas o casal passou uma química tão natural, aquela vibe gostosa de dois adolescentes se apaixonando pela primeira vez, que eu assisti sorrindo sozinha e querendo ver mil episódios só deles tendo pequenos surtos e interações um com o outro.As 10 estrelas são só porque me apeguei demais a esse casal. Foram os minutos mais fofos da minha vida. Nota puramente por apego emocional mesmo kkkkkkkkk.
Only Boo teve o mesmo efeito. Agora O Cartomante e o Err... Aaaaaaaaaaa!

Un vrai plaisir mis à part sa fin.
Oui un vrai petit plaisir. C'est mignon, bien joué, logique, avec des moments drôles et un travail de fond sur le scénario que je n'attendais pas vu le format court.La Backstorie est très intéressante et tout les personnages sont attachants. Une belle tranche de vie avec une belle réalisation.
Seul bémol, vu le format, on aurait pu se passer de l'éternel drama de fin de série, mais non. Et en plus il traine en longueur pour se résoudre stupidement. Vraiment inutile et stupide.
Heureusement, ça ne gâche pas non plus l'ensemble que je pourrais revoir avec plaisir.

excellent work
我非常喜欢这两位主演，也是在这部剧认识他们，从此就爱上了两位主演的剧。seakeen之间的化学反应也是最棒的！sea和keen非常适合Err和Marwin，导演很会拍，剧的视觉效果也很棒！I like these two leading actors very much, and I got to know them through these four episodes of this drama, and I fell in love with the drama played by the two leading actors from then on. The chemical reaction between seakeen is also the best. Sea and Keen are very suitable for the roles of Err and Marwin. The level of the director is also very high, and the visual effect of the play is also great!
