Suntiny

Neither bad nor good, but some aspects are bad and some are good

With this series I'm very split... The part where they record their video-memories are really good. The story is a dog biting his own tail running in circles and the comedic parts are just annoying.

While the story is not great, it at least has some redeeming qualities and the mature parts are really nice. The other stuff is just there including a side couple and some NC scenes which are maybe nice to watch but not really essential at all. One highlight for me is "Cooheart" playing the "lady" of the family but not over the top as in many other series but with an aura we seldom see from him. I guess he had the most fun playing in this series. The contrast between the MLs was quite stark and may be an eye-sore for some but I guess that's done for "dramatic effect".

If they had done the show more seriously it would have been much better imho, but this story it's an improvement from their last series which was worse for me. Sadly Max & Nat have never had a good project yet and I have no hopes this will ever happen. At least they tried their best. This series is only 30-35 mins per episode, so you can rush the 10 episodes quite fast compared to most other thai shows.

Final verdict: Some will hate it, some will love it and I'm split :) I see what they tried to do, but the execution is not to my liking. But it's not that bad either. So judge for yourself.

Suntiny – A Drama That Needs Understanding

So what should I say about Suntiny?

For me, it’s a drama that takes a lot of emotional understanding. From the beginning, I really loved how the relationship between Sun and Nuea started. It felt like the kind of connection anyone would want — sweet, funny, and natural.

Sun is a smart guy — calm, quiet, and introverted. He’s a teacher who just wants peace and simple love.
Nuea, on the other hand, is a celebrity — loud, bold, extroverted, and full of energy. He loves adventure, going out, and being openly affectionate.

You can already tell they come from very different worlds. But still… they try.

One of the realest things in this drama is how it shows the silent misunderstandings in relationships. Nuea sometimes feels like Sun isn’t responding to him emotionally or physically, especially during intimate moments. It makes him feel unloved, like maybe he's not enough.

Sun, meanwhile, is trying everything he can to make things work — but he doesn't know how to express it in a way Nuea understands. He’s doing his best, but his quiet nature makes it hard to show.

And that’s exactly why the body-swap happens. It’s not just for fantasy or fun — it has meaning. The body swap shows how different their experiences are. Sometimes, until you live in someone’s shoes, you won’t understand what they go through every day. And Suntiny makes that message hit.

This drama reminds us that even in love, you can feel lost when you're not on the same page. Whether in dating or marriage — if you don’t explain things clearly, your partner may never truly understand what you're feeling inside.

Apart from the emotional depth… okay let me be honest — I loved the 18+ scenes too 😏🔥. They were beautifully done, not over the top, but mature and emotional. The style, visuals, and direction? Top-notch.

🩷 The Second Couple: Temp & Toy

Let’s talk about Temp and Toy — oh my god 😭😭
I did not expect Toy to have this side of him. He’s so clingy and soft, and it's so adorable, especially since he’s a temple boy who doesn’t really have much experience with love or relationships. It makes his awkward, shy side even more lovable.

Their chemistry is so good, and honestly? I need a whole drama just for them. I don’t care if they’re the main leads or side characters — I’ll watch it. I just want more of them together on screen.

So please — if anyone sees any upcoming drama with Temp and Toy as a couple, let me know immediately. I’ll be watching with my whole chest. 💯


---

Final Thoughts:
Suntiny is not just a love story — it’s about communication, miscommunication, emotional understanding, and what it really means to love someone with a different way of expressing love. It’s soft, funny, deep, sexy, and surprisingly real.

I’m in love with both couples. I would 100% rewatch this drama.
Highly recommended. 🌞💖

an established couple with too much repetitiveness (watch suggestions)

Overall: I was looking forward to seeing an established couple navigate a challenge; however, re-telling the same plot points over and over made this challenging to watch. There did seem to be some crossover with Y Destiny, but I don't think you need to watch it in order to watch this series. 10 episodes about 30 minutes each. Aired on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/suntiny-episode-1-27wncv1edpg?lang=en_us

Content Warning: self harm mentioned, non con kiss

Watch Suggestions (to reduce the repetitiveness)
- watch episodes 1 & 2
- skip episodes 3-6
- episode 7 watch 4-6:50, 12:30-22:20
- episode 8 watch 2-3, 17-19:45
- episode 9 watch 7:15-8 for side couple montage and 30:30-33:15
- watch episode 10

What I Liked
- established couple
- different personalities/styles in the beginning
- styling
- ongoing physical intimacy/mutual want
- that Toy stood up for himself
- supportive friends

Room For Improvement
- the spoiler start of the series
- the exposition/feeling dumps with the camcorder verses showing the viewer how they feel/it happening organically
- going into a bathtub with underwear on
- people laughing at him for his issue
- repetitive and since they were frequently styled similarly it was difficult to know when they were in different bodies
- that mask thing was odd
- the side couple guy felt like a player for way too long, at episode 6 we should have seen character growth/change
- too many flashbacks
- the non con kiss with the side couple
- cliche "I can explain" but doesn't explain in person or text with plenty of time to do so
- comedy sound effects didn't make things funny

"What The F*ck?"

I really like quirky supernatural/soul swap stuff, so this was on my radar even though I haven’t watched the prequel or know the actors.

But… it didn’t hit. At all. Same thing happens again and again every episode, it got repetitive, frustrating, and honestly boring. The episodes are short but feel so long.

The self recording videos were boring too (not into that style in general), and they just say the same stuff again in a different tone, different outfit (or body). I skipped them all.

The soul swap should’ve been the main plot, but it really just feels like a setup so the two leads can have sex.

And honestly, the acting didn’t help, they’re supposed to be swapped, but it never felt like they actually changed. Same vibe every time, they didn't play as each other convinceingly.

The second couple had potential, they were cute. but even that got less interesting towards the end.

Outfits were not great, but I guess they fit the quirky vibe.

So yeah, I don’t recommend watching this at all. Had a fun idea but the execution was just… not it.

Just total nonsense

This series is a total flop, the switching back and forth and erectile dysfunction was just nonsensical. The acting was subpar even though Max Kornthas Rujeerattanavorapan acting is versatile Nat Natasit Uareksit acting is not, It's as if he's just stuck in one mood and at this point it's annoying leaving the good to suffer for the bad .The constant recording of themself as if they were on a reality show doing confessionals were dump, it took switching bodies for them to understand their partners feelings? that proves they were not connected strong enough through communication and understanding of each other not even a little bit. Overall snooze fest. I honest had to skip through every episode.

Suntiny is a riot

Their last serious series blew me away, and I cried so much that I was hoping for a tongue-in-cheek series. Well, they are nailing it. This is hilarious, and I applaud them for their creativity. The Freaky Friday trope is challenging to execute, so it was exciting to watch how they navigated it as artists. There were additional great actors like Earth and others who added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a funny NC flick with some twists & turns, this is for you. This has comedy, relationships, family drama, friendship drama, and some corniness, which adds to its appeal; it checks all the boxes. I have been surprised and have laughed out loud. I'm so used to Max's usual strong, sexy, cool, fearful previous roles; this was a diversion, and he nailed his role.

Why?

Body switch drama's are a treaturous thing as it is. This execution was the absolute worst I ever saw.
I love both Max and Nat, mostly for the fact that although they do lack in the acting department, they are adorable, have great chemistry and amazing kisses. All of these could not save this drama (pun intended). The plot is stupid (why turn to a shaman for ED? Consult a doctor dammit!). There is no real story, no real drama points, nothing. It seems to build on the previous series where they played the same characters, but that was so long ago that I forgot most of that. A little refresher would have been nice. There is chemistry/tension at the wrong moments (Kaeng and Sun) that doesn"t lead anywhere. A late addition problem (the money) is not really a problem. Some strange conversation about virginity... The list goes on.

I had my hopes up for the secondary couple but their first kiss was the cringiest thing I ever saw. I don't think they even touched lips. Please cast people that actually want to kiss each other!

I hate Nat's red hair. I hate the over the top wardrobe, I hate the senseless trip mr shaman makes to Japan (or was it China) which just prolongs the misery. I hate the fake crying. I hate the attempts at humor. I hate the music (don't let actors who can't sing for shit sing the OST!)

Anything good? Yes. Earth (Cooheart) as Madam. The only one with everything on point. Acting, wardrobe, hair. But very much the golden ring on the monkey. It made up for nothing.

I'm so sorry for Max and Nat, but this BL goes to the absolute bottom of my completed list.

SUN-Y Twists

So I feel like many aren't aware that this is a spinoff of Max and Nat's characters from Y-Destiny which came out years ago. Which I did see and enjoyed! I don't think its required to watch it prior to this show, but it helps establish a little bit more with Sun and Nuea's characters. Either way, this show was interesting. It definitely flipped the script on a lot of BL tropes which I enjoyed and I could tell Max specifically was having so much fun with this role. Both of them played each other pretty damn well and it was fun to watch! Though the plot was a bit repetitive at times, the show didn't stretch its length too far and I enjoyed these 2 in a series I enjoyed more than 'Naughty Babe' which was rough lol.

It started great, but then...

This series had a great start, the story looked interesting and Max and Nat are very good actors with amazing chemistry.
Unfortunatly they didn't do very wel in each others skin, that was just not very convincing.

The story repeated itself too much, so after 3 episodes it became less and less interesting...
The funny moments were a bit over the top and normaly i hate that, but it did fit in this series so i wasn't mad at it.
I liked the recordings they made about their feelings, for me that was a highlight of the episodes.
The visuals were very good, music not so.
One very anoying point was that the dramatic moments were too long, so they became very boring..

Earth, First and Talay did a great job, they are also good actors.
Unfortunatly the second couple Pech and Wave didn't do a very good job acting and they had not a single spark of chemistry.

You can watch it, it is still entertaining, but don't expect too much.
I won't watch it again.

Suntiny… HUH, what they hell did I just watch?

I was looking forward to watching this, thinking it would be a good laugh after all it's a comedy with a bit of heart-felt-ness put in, boy was I wrong. I've seen other things that had the same concept as this with switching bodies/soul swap and I have to say those where by FAR, way better then this was.

First, (if I am wrong/ not remembering right please tell me) Thurs said something like try not to switch bodies to often otherwise they can get stuck that way permanenting, so if that is the case why in the hell would you have sex knowing that is one way you switch bodies? Just because horny ass Nuea wants it doesn't mean you should do it.

This would have been better if they made it where both of them after a few episodes started to ACT like the other. For two people who have been together as long as they have did not know each other AT ALL in order to act they them. I'm not saying they would be 100% each other, but come on, Sun kind of tried, even though he messed up by talking like himself more often than not, but Nuea I didn't see him trying really at all, he only gave a crap about himself and not Sun or Sun's job. Now yes he wasn't a teacher at far, but to just sit there playing a game why they kid is there or playing a game with the kid is just wrong, he could have at least TRIED to act like a teacher. Sun could of shown him what he needed to do in order to past as Sun, but no that didn't happen and I don't think Nuea would have done it anyway. (If you can't tell I didn't really like Nuea at all)

This had nothing changing from episode to episode, nether one of them talked to the other, they only talked to the video alone, yea that's really helpful... NOT! There is so much more I can go on with, but I need to move on...

As for the side couple, Temp and Toy, I didn't really care much for them, if it wasn't in here I wouldn't have missed anything really, I kind of didn't see the point in them, just to irritate me maybe? Temp is another one I didn't like. He kept pushing or trying to blackmail Toy and he just irked me every time I saw him. Oh and that forced "kiss" (I do this because he never touched his lips!, another minus to Pech/Temp) was just so uncalled for!

Toy I loved him I though he was a sweetie, and should have ha a better person for him. Plus I didn't really feel anything when they both were together. Acting wise since this is there first roll. Wave did I really good job, I felt his emotions and saw them, as for Pech, He seems kind of like a dead fish. I didn't really feel anything with him, maybe he will get better, but so far Blah.

This couple paring I don't feel at all, their nonexistent chemistry says a lot.

Max and Nat got a bad hand in this series. I love them but this series gave them nothing good... now don't get me wrong Max did a great job in his roll even if it wasn't that great of a series, Nat didn't do to back, but he has done better, it seem like he was trying way to hard being Sun.

All in all it got boring real fast, not really something to write home about, it's like they forgot how to write the plot to keep you wanting more, instead you wanted it to end. MaxNat need something better than this. Ok, I should keep going, I haven't said everything in here but my hand is getting tired so I'm stopping. Bye!
