I think there are too many BL series. Its hard to catch up. I don't have much time so i watch BL series only checking…
just skip it, it's atrocious anyways... and the problem is not too many shows, but too many bad shows imho. And sorry, can't write a review after watching the series, because it became unwatchable for me.
Sorry, I don't accept this. This is bad writing and this is lazy writing. The characters have no depth, especially the villains.
And as a gay guy I'm sick of all the homophobic parents I have to watch. That's why shows like "Life in Smokey Blue" are so far ahead to most thai BLs. It would be so nice when gay directors (most male directors in thai BL are), queer production teams would not only cater to fangirls. You can cater to them but still produce a good story and this story was sooooooo 08/15 it is seen in each other BL from Thailand. And I mean the family dynamics.
And so no, I will not squeeze out a 7.5 to support such crappy stories. They already got bonus points otherwise I would have rated even lower. Was it entertaining? Nope, most of the time it was boring. They run in circles for 4 episodes. I guess they had to induce drama, otherwise the series would have been a total flop because the crime story which could have been central did not carry the series at all.
They have the role of bringing them together... he can read the future accurately. Yes,. But they did nothing…
It seems you missed the line "You should know this was not really a debate, because I ignored most of it... and you behave like a 4 year old."
When I said ignored - I mean ignored - I did not read further. I only read "mimimi". You don't understand the concept of "opinion". Everything I wrote about the story explains why this is my opinion. I even went out of my way to explain it in terms most children will understand.
You passive aggressive writing seems to me that you are a teenage boy, maybe a teenage boy in the closet fleeing into the world of BL because you can't have the life for yourself because the social pressure is too big for you.
My reviews are not bad , they are one of the best you will find here. Of course if you are in your fanboy bubble you find much better reviews which will confirm your opinion which is mostly from fangirls not seeing the flaws in any story, that's why everything is a 10 for them.
Life is a constant up and down. Nothing is perfect. There are always flaws in everything and in every person and in almost all scripts. If you want to see a good story you go watch "Life in Smokey Blue" where there are so many little nuances in the acting which makes the series feel REAL. But of course, that's not a fantasy BL, it's just a realistic queer story.
In future: Don't comment on my reviews, ignore them. You have not the insight to talk like a grown up person. If you like a series, it's your right to like it, if I don't like a series it's also my right not to like it. At least I explain why I don't like it, but you do not need to agree with me. We can just agree to disagree. Should you post further, I will just ignore it except if you one day wake up and recognize the bullshit you wrote. Have a nice day.
It has 5 great minutes in the beginning... You think, wow something different... And then the cringe comedy style kicks in which is completly out of place for such a topic.

It was a "miimimi" from you the whole time.
You don't recognize that the story is a bad one, because you are in a bubble. Many things don't make sense. I edited my review and mentioned mom, who is very despicable. "You" force your son for a decade to become the idol you want him to be, but then you turn 180 degrees and say "If you don't want to, it's fine". This makes no sense at *ALL*. Humans may change but they don't change over night. There is no conflict resolution, there is just the lazyness of the author or the script-writers to make it as fluffy in the end as possible.
Of course there are aspecs of the series, which are not bad, but for me story is king and the story is bad. I don't care about the actors, it does not matter if they are cute or handsome. Also of course they use only visual appealing people, there are no BL series where "normal" people would ever get a main role. But I don't care about that, when the story is not a good one, the series is not good. Period., I may have missed it, but where are the rune-stones coming from? Why does he go to a fortune teller with stones? He could have went to a fortune teller using cards or using other items. No, it's the stones he has himself. Why does he put so much faith in them?
And then we have the scammers who were cringe², the whole grandpa and grandma arc was something out of a trash novel. It should be funny but it was only cringe, bearable watchable. Maybe it's your humor, but it's not mine. The problem with most shows is, they don't know what they want to be, either a comedy or a drama. They mix and match without need and it goes into extremes, it's either extreme cringe or just good. But the few good parts can't offset the bad parts for me.
I never mentioned the actors, who are just decent, There is no great acting of any of them. The chemistry was also just ok, there was not really a spark between any of the couples. I rant a lot of most GMMTV or Domundi productions but what they deliver is chemistry. I would have wished for example that Mr. to be idol would have a scene where we see his idol skills. We only see him singing and that's it, but idols need also to dance - he never did. That would have been a huge investment to train him and this was not a high budget series at all.
You can idolize every series as you wish, but you do never question if a story is good or not. The story does not matter to you as is typical with escapist watchers. It's fine when you enjoy the series even if the story is bad, but you should recognize *WHEN* a story is bad and *WHEN* at least parts of it do not make any sense. At least the story is not awful... but after a decent start, the script plummets when we first see grandpa and grandma.
It would just be nice, if you could just accept another opinion and don't feel offended when it does not allign with your opinion. It would be even nicer if you would think about it, if it may be possible that I'm right and you are wrong, but that would be too much to ask I suppose.
They have the role of bringing them together... he can read the future accurately. Yes,. But they did nothing…
you know there is an invention called "mobile phones". It's a really new concept, because it's not only a phone, it's also a camera. You can record yourself with it...
Actually, the magic stones do have a clear and important purpose — they are far from random or useless. Their…
They have the role of bringing them together... he can read the future accurately. Yes,. But they did nothing else with it. Why is he going to a fortune teller in the finale? Why does she also use stones? In the past he drank to read the stones, now, he does not drink - but he could have and use the stones on himself...

The cliché "bad" guys are always the same
We always get a homophobic father or mother
This time we additionally got a gamble addicted mom who looses all the money her son brings in...
And the best, all of them turn 180 in an instant.

Have no idea why it was split off as "special", but that's ok :)

Do you always overthink so much?
"And if your are good... mimimimiiii"
It's hard to keep up with so much crap :)
