what the hell .. this was the end ... ????

where are some the scenes we got to see in the trailer ??

the one with the mask exchange and balloons .. and pi doing morks teeth n kissing him in what seemed like a university n not the hospital ....

and whyyyyyyyyyyyy ... i was so hoping bam wud do it for any other reason than that !!

Oooh Thai BL .. constantly upping their game .. just the moment i feel they have hit a pinnacle and its going to be downhill from now on .. they just come up with something that blows me away .. and fish upon the sky .. well i guess the metaphor came true for me coz this show is totally it.

Well yeah plot wise its simple and some themes i ve seen before ... but the execution production and the performances, top-notch ones at that.. make it feel so different .. like damn good editing and the music .. one of the only BLs where im opening shazam on every episode coz the BGs are that good.

Coming to the characters...
Pi yeah a bit indecisive n foolish .. but cmon atleast i have been mislead by emotions a lot ... and yeah like i wud so like punch him and say wakee up dude and smell the coffee .. but im hoping he eventually will .. but well at the end of the day he is human .. and making horrible decisions well i dont wanna hate him for making mistakes.
Mork .. omg like srsly that expressions and eyes .. i dunno if its him or the editing but his character seems so fleshed out and so communicates everything important. Be it him as him or as the secret online friend. P.S he is effing HOTTT ok.
Duen .. ok i did not expect to fall for him ... such a surprise i have seen him here n there in other shows .. but is he stealing the show or what .. damn amazing performance .. even the over the top scenes are not that cringe for some reason .. and i love how his story is like shows in a diff aspect ratio and all .. now thats some experimental subplot screenplay which i havent seen before.
Mix .. i hope he gets some more part to play in this show .. Tale of 1000 stars was just too intense and very unidimensional albeit heavy ..

All in all i dont hate it at all .. i think i love it infact ... hate that i started before it ended coz i have to wait a whole week to watch the next episode.

But the music .. like i was surprised and kept like increasing the volume everytime a BG plays coz its just that good .. its like the tunes are in sync to the feeling that the scenes and dialogs evoke ... i have never seen global music being used in a thai BL so far .. i think last time this happened was for Gaya Sa pelikula ... and this show for me is the best music production for this year for sure.

And a special mention to all the fish themes props used everywhere. and the pleasant color palette..

Cant wait to see how it ends .. im sure it will be obvious but the execution is totally diff and i hope it doesnt disappoint.

I held off watching this show since a while as i wanted to binge watch it as a whole but i gave into my temptation at a weak moment and damn was this a nice watch. Production, music, the whole pastel pink/blue palette of colors i found it very charming and beautiful.
Now coming to the acting bit of it, Up (gene) i find him to be doing a fabulous job, apart from being expressionally gifted he did not overperform any beat or rhythm of emotion .. except for maybe the scene when he was drunk, meh i can let it slide. But his acting i feel was perfect for my tastes like a fine bottle of Rose wine.
Kao (nubsib) however i remember watching UWMA for him. Call me superficial but i like my eye candy and boiiii was he the sweetest of them all and i found his performance also quite good in UWMA as the conflicted broody gangster son. So him being in this show was a major selling point for me. But this is such a different persona from that show. Kao being all happy, chirpy, sweet, cute, flirty romantic, it took me a bit of time to fall for him (being shirtless def helped hehe)... coz Up was sooo stealing the show with his nerdy glasses and the subtle yet perfectly pitched performance. (Yes i have a type and taste !! SUE me for it lol)
But eventually then came the episode of confrontation after Kao's character history is un"earth"ed (lol see what i did there :P) .. im not going to debate about the plot line coz i see its an ongoing discussion in a lot of threads, but that emotional scene when Up is mad at Kao, Kao shone brighter than everything!! even Up. Kao just stole that scene and walked away with my admiration. His tears and the sad face, the feeling he evokes, there is just some magic about Kao being sad. And not a lot of actors can pull it off so beautifully and without overdoing it. Kao has a stoic silent expression which hits me so much harder compared to characters who are weeping and wailing and all, no offence - just my preference!! Hate me for saying this but i want to see him crying n sad for a few more scenes coz he is just so good at it.
Im kinda hesitant to see where the show is headed into next week and honestly m not a fan of the evil aoey build up so far. Lets hope the actors can outperform the story and save it for me.

okkk !! .. i love max and tul .. but where is this story going ... maybe i built up too many expectations .. the romance/the crimes/the side couple/ the conspiracy .. its just not complimenting each other .. i might enjoy the plotlines as diff shows .. i dunno what is going wrong .. is it the story/the direction/the screenplay/the editing or me .. but i feel an imbalance on the whole of it .. i might read the book just to get some closure as to why im feeling like this

the first few episodes started off with such a bang .. the murders, the getting to know the powerful people and key players, the town, the cops, the journalist, the school girls, her friends, and obvio max n tul, like the build up was fantastic sprinkled with just enough mystery n suspense to engage anyone .. but ever since the last two or three episodes i have been literally been holding on my almost dead hopes that the ending will be worth my patience .. i am super sad that i aint enjoying this as much as i had anticipated .. i might just rewatch TWM as an attempt tor resuscitate the feelings

the chief of police and that politician i just cant seem to buy into their performances/motivations for the crime i dunno if its weak performances or the visuals which seem to be trying too hard to be convincing, the eldest step brother .. what is his problem .. like he is doing a btr job than the afore-mentioned two but he dialed it up way high .. ok i know im being critical but i so need to get this off my chest .. so plz forgive me..

Max and tul .. i know they have their moments and their chemistry is just hotter than the sun .. but in this story its more like just a tease .. i know its like a crime BL .. i have seen history trapped and that was just fab but this one is just slipping down the slope .. like even the intimate scenes in MOD .. i went back n saw some from TWM .. they seem to be shot n captured way more beautifully than in this show .. i had some theories of the crimes in the first few episodes which honestly were way btr than what this turned out to be ..

Can i please get a job to write BL scripts, i can pull off any genre-mix too .. any place where i can write and submit them to the production houses. let me know.

i dunno if im sad about the show not being good or sad that i am unable to see it .. like im questioning myself coz i believed in this so much that now i feel something is wrong with me for not liking it .. if the ending is not good i swear im gonna be drowning myself at the end of a big bottle of vodka ... and i was saving wine in case this turned out to be immensely amazing.

lol talk about handcuffs finding their way into their romantic play hahahaha .. it just gave me a whole new level of energising excitement lol ... i just ended up laughing ... i was like expecting tan to say "look what you made me do" (ala taylor swift) :P when he left but damn this was a fun episode .. alas if only i could've written the dialogs for this show lol ..

n daaamn max is like so chiseled n sculpted .. for me he is like the hottest .. like 10 on 10 .. i literally had flashbacks of him right from together with me times .. like how he just stole my breath away at my first sight of him .. ah how i love him for being him .. and it will always be alive ..

and of course .. why wouldnt they have a flashback .. i mean it is a bit of a stereotype storyline .. sotus, 2wish/2wish2, 2gether to name a few .. ppl always knew each other in history ..its ok like im fine with it .. i just wonder was that meeting all that was there or was there more.

.. but scenes of romantic interests eating and then one wipes the others lips .. and then everything turns slow mo and romantic music starts playing .. close up shots .. now this sequence needs to be banned por favor .. like srsly find a new romantic sequence pleaseeeee .. literally every BL show and i mean every single BL show i watched had this sequence ..

im dying to know what happend in the next episode .. the post credits .. why was he aiming a gun at him .. oh tul what did you do .. dont tell me its just an upgrade of romantic toys from handcuffs to a handgun lol

i know its a thriller show but what is going on with the love story bit of it .. Max n Tul's romance feels like its a continuation from together with me .. their chemistry is toh giving me feels like they have been dating for ages .. no new romance is this sober .. is it ?? let me know otherwise .. i mean i love them hopelessly and whatever they are doing is charming too but i dunno i felt the new romance magic element feels a bit low .. i think i would buy their romance more if in this show they like dated in the past but separated and are back due to some issues and find themselves getting drawn to each other again.

why am i getting a feeling that Tan is going to die in the end .. :( ..

cmon .. he is hot !! .. in both his hairstyles *wink*

sucks that they wake up to phone calls n all .. n dont even get a chance to do some catch up flirting :( .. ugh i dunno who i like more tul or max .. or both of them together as one .. lol

what if its jane's sister ..

i think there is something bun is missing connecting in his autopsy of all the victims .. i feel the drugs and bitemarks are just a ruse to misdirect them from something else altogether. tan knows something .. but he needs proof or evidence .. that is the reason i feel he is doing all that he is .. ok maybe my crime fiction brain is overdriving itself on the red bull i had ..

just finished binge watching 1 to 11 ... wow talk about the worst first date !! .. but damn i love this show .. so cute, clean and innocent .. n kurosawa dammn .. his smile .. i keep on chanting dont smile dont smile coz i dunno about adachi but my heart definitely cant take it .. lol .. but so many relatable incidents.

hmm about the magic bit .. im like .. ppl have way too many thoughts like way too many .. poor adachi is going crazy coz of it ..

n damn good performances ya .. even some which i feel are over the top when i think about it feel so natural n comical when i watch it .. i dont think i can handle watching kurosawa crying of a broken heart ... i legit know i wont be able to handle it ..
do ppl like him exist in real life .. he is literally a modern day fairy tale prince!! prince charming can go jump off a cliff tbh

i initially actually though this was one of the series from the en of love world .. but was glad to see its not .. yeah poster is cute .. i love all these romantic smiling type posters

the show is not that bad though .. i mean to each his own .. right ... give it a go ... if you can see past tons behavior in the first few episodes .. u can fast forward if you find something cringy .. but the rest of the characters n literally everyone is just fab and damn enjoyable .. plus the production value is really good

i lovvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeee ming-kit ... i totally agree .. i just love their pairing n interactions and flirting and love .. i love the bed scene have watched tht clip so many times .. ugh i melt .. like melt more than the glaciers do due to global warming ..

Hehehehe ... yeah I like them too .. some shows got the perfect shy-restraint kisses like sotus singtos blush n smile before n after the kiss makes my heart melttttttt.. but some shows got them so horrible .. tin n can in love by chance 2 for example im sorry but oh my god .. can kissed his dog btr than he kissed tin .. and had btr chemistry with techno than with tin .. no offence .. but yeah i love the bl kisses otherwise ... maxtul .. mewgulf .. some of them r etched in my memory .. n they r just plain nice cute sweet innocent .. light n romantic ♡♡

Lol its funny now that i think toptap was the protective brother in 2gether who dint approve of bright .. i dint like his character or him .. but loved mikes dedication to woo him .. but i adore toptap in this show ..

The sequels are so odd na .. still 2gether n even tharntype now .. tine and type were such restless characters in the first seasons of both .. but the second seasons they were so calm n carried themselves with so much patience and restraint .. not that i dint like it lol love their evolution

As for ton .. well after the previous episode i did rant a bit about him .. nothing good .. but i guess in my heart i want to see how he manages the redemption arc .. but im still in two minds about pod as the cast for ton .. even him in dark blue kiss i somehow felt he was putting in a lot of effort n it was showing too but just as effort n dint feel so natural .. it looked plastic .. n i kinda feel it in some of his body movements in this show too ... ur thoughts ?

Oh it was ... i was like wtf ... totally put off .. n not just once .. twice .. i mean thai bl kisses r not even like proper kisses .. more like pecks .. or like sharing applied lip moisturiser .. hope i dont have to witness the sound effects again .. might as well fast forward thru it lol

Lol even i started thinking if they ever kissed in the 2gether saga ..
Hmm you do have some points .. about the thunder being stolen from ton n chon .. but yeah for me mike n toptap r stealing the show already .. i cant wait to see how many layers of emotions can they experiment with ..

:( ☹

Was mike n toptaps kiss edited only in my country or was it not part of the original scene itself .. i was a bit disappointed where they just had sound effects of kissing ..

I must give credit to pod though .. playing the character so convincingly ..
