My Secret of Seer — Good Concept, Weak Execution, and a Lot of Wasted Potential
This one is honestly frustrating for me, because there was something here.
On paper, My Secret of Seer had everything to work. A fortune teller cursed by fate, forced to work with a skeptical ghost-show host, supernatural elements, destiny vs free will, slow-burn romance… it sounds like the perfect emotional and fantasy mix. And sometimes, you can actually see the version of this drama that could have been amazing.
But watching it, I kept feeling like the story and the performances were not living at the same level.
Tar Jirayu is genuinely adorable on screen, and you can see why he was cast. He has that natural softness that works well for Win — someone spiritual, fragile, and constantly carrying fear under the surface. But the problem is that most of the cast feels very new. And you can feel it in emotional scenes. Only Fluke Pusit really feels like he understands how to live inside a character instead of just reciting lines. Every time he was on screen, the acting suddenly felt grounded.
Then there is Aof Akekarin… and this is where it gets hard to watch. His performance often feels forced, especially in scenes where attraction is supposed to grow naturally. Instead of tension, it sometimes feels like the script is shouting “LOOK, ROMANCE IS HAPPENING.” And that kills immersion.
The story itself is not bad. Actually, the base concept is really interesting. A cursed seer forced to find someone with spiritual merit before time runs out is a strong emotional and fantasy hook. The mix of superstition, media world, and supernatural rules is genuinely cool. But the execution feels messy. Scenes sometimes jump too fast, emotional beats don’t always connect, and the romance ends up feeling like a subplot instead of the heart of the story. Even the love confession only really lands near the end, which makes the emotional payoff feel late. And that is what hurts the most.
Because the series could have been scary, emotional, mystical, romantic… all at once. But it never fully commits to any of those directions. The “seer senses” and fear elements should have been intense, psychological, unsettling. Instead, they often feel surface-level. You understand what Win is supposed to feel. But you don’t always feel it with him.
I also get why some people still liked it. The visuals are nice. The concept is original for a BL. And there is heart in the story. But it feels like a first draft of something that needed more time, more direction, and more experienced performances to truly land.
Final feeling :
This is not a disaster. It’s just disappointing. Because you can see the better version of this story hiding behind what we got. And that’s always harder to watch than something that was just bad from the start.
