I just have to stop watching to say that "P'Suradech I choose you!" with the pokeball sound effect is one of the most epic scenes ever seen in a pokemon battle.
Ok, ep6 felt a bit out of the blue to me - I think I'm watching the uncut version, but there were quite some scenes that felt a bit disconnected or put there just for the "fanship" sake. It kinda felt like "an interval" between the first and the second part of something (which is, the story).
Anyway: I'm loving Mark's role and Aran's character, I hope they can manage to build him more tridimensionally in the next episodes; same goes for Hope, although he seems like a crazy bloodthirsty dog up to now but I'm sure he has his story to tell. (Honestly, I would have loved to see these two characters together!)
The only two negatives notes for me, as of now, are the comedic scenes which often feel abrupt (I usually like Thai humour, but here it's not working for me although I understand why they keep on putting these scenes), AND the "plans" that are often quite farfetched.
But! Finished the bingewatch of aired episodes, so I'm on board for the weekly watching of this one too.
8.9? Like I Feel You Linger in the Air?Someone please tell me if it's really as good as IFYLitA so I know if it's…
I bingewatched it yesterday out of the same curiosity, since rates on MDL are usually pumped up (or down) due to fanships and stans... it's not a masterpiece, BUT it's a very good series as of now (ep6).
Totally different thing from IFYLitA tho': this one is fun, energic and entertaining. It does have great acting, very nice cinematography and huge chemistry from the leads and the rest of the cast. It's better than many BLs out there, but ep6 started to feel like it's going down.
I think they should not permit rating if a series is ongoing.
8.9? Is this really that good? A Thai BL that good? Is this real? I don't always trust MDL ratings.
Does not deserve that high of a rating, BUT it's a very good series. I bingewatched it yesterday out of the same curiosity, and it did not disappoint - although we're only midway through and it already shows signs of "downfall".
Bingewatching this to try and find out if the rating stands or is just a bubble... I'm not a YW stan, although I like them, but I was looking forward to a more mature series from them so I planned to watch this anyway sooner or later.
Well, I'm pleasently surprised: 8.9 is definitely TOO MUCH but it's a good drama! Great acting from both Yin and War and also from many of the main cast (MVP of the series is the little girl, this child actress rocks!!). The cinematography is very well made, with nice choices in color palette and nice details... the plot, tho', has some enormous holes, especially in the "logic" of the thefts and of the underworld, but still it flows pretty well and is enthralling.
I just started watching ep5 and another thing I'd say is: Pee is really scary as a crazy underdog! I really liked him in other roles, and I think he's more fit for dramatic scenes while he's a bit stiff in comedic scenes... but he's a good actor and I hope we can see more from him!
Ep11 felt way better and I loved the Master/DemonLord scenes at the beginning... only by exchanging looks and caresses those two were fire!
But: did we really need the wedding? And those games in front of the stairs, is that a tradition or just some random stuff?
And my question since ep7 is: did we really need JingJang and the beach stuff, if we haven't seen nothing else from them ever again? Will he just popup as a bartender or a random guest in ep12? Mah.
On a sidenote - I hope we can get a special episode with the whole story of the characters from the novel. <3
(Can't post a comment in this section without mentioning how beautiful Tutor is, so I'll repeat myself: Tutor is mesmerizing!)
Unpopular opinion : I have not enjoyed any shows which starred Earth as the main character and I only got through…
I'm with you. I really love Earth, he's such a lovely boy... but I don't like him as an actor. It also doesn't help that he's been acting the same type of characters forever and ever.
just kidding got it loving caliber- call me out for anyone who wants to know. it’s the same group that did halo…
And also "Stay Here with Me" and "I Wish you were mine" featured in The Warp Effect, and "Glowing in the Dark" that I can't recall which series was featured in... maybe always TWE? That series had amazing songs through all the episodes... or maybe Not Me.
Still, Loving Caliber seems to be pretty loved by Thai drama producers.
And so it finished. I'll be a bit sad that we won't get our weekly dose of P'God next week, or of BeerWan's bickering or the cast interactions... but it was a nice final episode. Maybe the presentation part was a bit cringe, but oh well... so were the band's performances.
Dew mad huge steps forward from his early days, and so did God... they'll probably be a happy couple forever and ever. Sad note: in the last episodes we basically brushed away Beer and Wan, like... why? They "finalized" and that was it? Sad.
All in all it's an 8/10 for me, it wasn't revolutionary but it treated many topics and relationships in just the right way. Plus, God will probably forever be among my faves characters ever.
This show deserves double the praise it has: all episodes up to now have been great, but ep7 definitely hit the jackpot!
The "ghost story" was so rich, deep and well done, ForceBook cameo was outstanding (in 15mins they did better than any other role they ever had!), the direction and cinematography were perfect and the costumes/setting were so beautiful too! I cried so much, and I totally wasn't expecting it! Plus, that ending and the preview for next episode are WOW!
2024 has gifted us quite a few great shows, but this is really rocking year's end!
This was one of my first BLs, loved it and rewatched it several times... now that time has gone by, from time to time I still watch the most memorable scenes. To be honest, it didn't age well (storywise), but Perth's impersonation of Ae will forever be irresistible... he was so young and so talented already!
One of my biggest hopes is to see SaintPerth again in the future: in mature roles, in a great movie/series with a huge plot and direction.
Ok, let's be honest - I was hoping that the "rescript" would adjust things plotwise, but that's something almost impossible to do as of now. Instead, they went for: "let's add more NC scenes so that half of the episode is hot guys with a naked torso kissing each other!". It's not really what I had in mind, but... but... but... Tutor is so damn beautiful I could watch him be a tree in the school recital and I'd still be happy.
This is building up episode after episode in such an interesting and fun way... I just really hope it doesn't sink in a trite do-goodism along the way.

Also: Joe? He's definitely not a positive example for a relationship (although he's on the victim side).
Haven't seen J&J yet but I'll start bingewatch now.
PS: We're missing P'God from "Monster Next Door" - the drama is basic (simple and cute), but the main lead is such a lovepie!
It also doesn't help that he's been acting the same type of characters forever and ever.
