...FINISHED! And what a ride! I didn't think think I'd love this so much, I'm usually not into over-acting and soap-operas style but all the characters felt so real and tridimensional that my heart ached at every emotional scene, and in the blink of an eye I easily overlooked the "kitsch aspects" of the drama (beetles, blood, cgi)... and just fell in love with it.
Random thoughts: --> Yang is the most precious being ever, his smile made me cry basically ALWAYS. --> Tian&Jiu are love: they felt so natural, even without having tons of scenes together. JamFilm really have great chemistry. --> WOMEN ROCKS: basically this was a drama about women making the whole world go up&down, I can understand (not justify) the reasons behind all their actions and for once we had strong ladies rocking the situation in their own ways. Lady Pin was adorable, Xiaotong is a boss! --> I really, really loved how the stories intertwined and how the characters grew... probably it's 2/3 episodes too long but I didn't mind it, since I could stay into the story longer. --> The two OSTs are beautiful! --> homophobia can kill. Mushrooms too. Do not combine the two. --> the ending was way more than I expected, and it's what I needed right now.
It probably doesn't deserve a full 10 in terms of cinematography, but the four main leads, the music and the plot all deserve a 10 so... that's it for me.
Bingewatching and I'm finding it addicting: the story is enthralling and the two brothers are already among my favourite characters ever. I cry almost in every scene in which they support each other, their brotherly love is so deep and inspiring... plus both actors did an amazing job, especially Film with all his subtle smiles and gestures.
I agree that some points are way over the top and there's much overacting, but the great story and character depiction make up for it.
It's saturday and I think I definitely won't go out drinking tonight because I NEED to keep on watching! XD
This was one of the most absurd dramas I've ever watched, with some really unbelievable scenes both in terms of cinematics and of what was happening... and yet, it was SO DAMN FUN!! I couldn't stop watching! The main actors did great, the chemistry was wooooow and the thrill was there from start to finish!
Random thoughts: 1. I will never forget Charn's smile. 2. I will never forget Tinn's abs. 3. Grandma rocks!! 4. Finally a cool lesbian couple, those ladies were great! 5. P'Thee (Pearl) is probably one of the most handsome boys I've seen, but... he needs acting lessons (he kinda reminded me of Ohm Thitiwat) 6. loved Charn/Tinn's life as husbands! <3 7. new JamFilm series when?
Now I'll run to see "To Sir, with Love" but I must admit I'm a bit scared of the 17 episodes of over 1hr...
Zero expectations, and yet I'm bingewatching at 3am without being able to stop! These two make me giggle so much, the drama perse has so many flaws but it's addicting and they're so damn rocking their roles!
Can't stop crying, in so many different ways... this was a masterpiece, it deserves 10 cum laude on every aspect: acting, music, pacing, visuals... nothing ever happened that felt wrong, off, rushed, nonsense, clichèed... it was the most natural, credible, heartfelt relationship in an amazingly well-built setting. So many important moments and themes were touched and so many scenes were of great impact with many small details that made them real.
I don't want to put "completed" on this series because I want to have it forever on my watching list, as to remind me of how a great series should be.
Among the best dramas for me in a long time, and definitely my favourite Thai BL ever.
Season 2 will be in my dreams from now till forever... with or without mustaches.
This is a huge "meh?" for me. Not even Perth's amazing acting could save this drama from being a disappointment: at every episode, anytime I'd hope they could do better they just did worse.
On a sidenote: -- I gave it an 8, only because Perth's performance deserve 10 cum laude. -- Papang! I need a good BL drama with adult characters with him as the main lead! -- grandma, you rock!
Perth, I love you, you're probably my favourite actor out there, but but but Kang's bipolar in episode 11... he changes attitude twelve times in fifteen minutes!
Random notes: 1. whenever Perth cries, I cry twice as much - his acting is contagious. 2. shouldn't say this, but Papang was looking pretty hot in jail! 3. Name's character is looking cool but he's bipolar - the guy doesn't know what to do of himself. 4. Dad is the useless character ever. 5. granny is a rock, my heart aches for her. 6. I need a BL with Papang as THE main lead. 7. again, Perth is shining.
It took me ages to pick this up again, and I admit I finished it only because it's short and because the mains have great chemistry. Normally I love Jdramas with their slow pace and dramatic characters but this one was a bit farfetched... too many hints and threads given but never finished, and an abominable "lack of communication" trope that is too huge to feel real.
That said, both actors did great and that's where all my 7.5 goes.
Another huge episode, I can't find enough good words for the cast and for Bright's dazzling figure. I love how this drama depicts in such a natural way both the positivity of people, and their bad sides...
Someone says it's slow-paced but in such a society it couldn't be different, and even tho' it feels "slow", so many things happen and not a single moment is boring! More than saying it's "slow", I would say it's "smooth" in the sense that everything flows just exactly at the right pace.
Perth is amazing even while staying silent, this guy acts like a veteran theatrical star and has the sweetest and most contagious smile in the whole world. It's my only reason for being here as soon as a new episode comes out.
Oh, and Papang. He needs a main role - possibly in a cool adult series with a plot.
I really can't judge this. It took me ages to finish it, I hated it at times but still found it so "true to itself" in its format and style. I laughed a lot, got frustrted a lot, admired Shin's beautiful face a lot, fell asleep so many times... but all in all I liked it. I wouldn't watch it again tho', but I'd watch a third season if they'll ever do it.

Hope he's happy now, smiling and being at peace.

I'm just about to see the last episode and it has been an amazing watch, so entertaining!!

Furthermore, Bright&Nonkul are having such a wonderful, clean, pure, natural chemistry that my mind gets blown away in each and every scene they star.
I'm not ready to reach the end of this amazing adventure, I know next week I'll cry rivers.
I know I'm going to scream and cry rivers in ep11.

(Yes I know the episode was 45 mins and so much happened, but I can't stop thinking about how gorgeous he was in those few seconds on screen!)
