As of Ep. 2, Forth has proven himself to be an incredibly capable actor. From his expressions to his line delivery, to handling the most sensitive scene, he has completely outdone himself compared to any of his previous work. I hope GMMTV can continue to explore these themes and Ticket to Heaven doesn't descend to another fluffy BL.
Daotok. You were the quiet, weird one that never socialized. At one point I thought you, yourself, was a ghost in the Drawing Room. Arthit. I thought you were just there for comedy relief and won't really get your own story. Sorry Dao and Thit. They saved the best for last. Thit was an incredible complex character. Way more interesting that any of the other guys. There, I said it. He had layers, seemingly strong but soft inside. His relationship with his Dad started out looking like it was toxic, only to be one of the sweetest father son relationships in all of BL. Ngern you slayed the role. You are Arthit. I think this is the best I've seen you. Dao was amazing. Reserved and seemingly cold, he also had layers. Taking a frightening ability like communicating with ghosts and turning it into a skill - wow, just wow. Couldn't be a better break-out star role for Oat. This is definitely the best story in the anthology. I'm somewhat on the fence for them dropping out of Med School this late in their education. While I understand showing that it's OK to quit, i'm sort of thinking they should have been portrayed as, at least, complete the course of study.
I know there needed to be trauma for the whole split personality thing to work, but personally I feel like it…
It's still GMMTV. The target market really wants the BL side of these dramas more than back story. Quick resolutions are the order of the day. I'm all for the trauma and development which is usually not deep with their productions. I must say this is a good effort for GMMTV to show some sort of trauma, even if the recovery was so fast.
If any Thai actor could pull of the psychologically damaged protagonist it's Peat. His Sky from Love in the Air was done in such a layered way. It was amazing to see his transformation from the humble underdog to the top boss. Well played, Peat!
This is the best in the series. At least as at ep. 4. Some of the finest acting I've ever seen from Ngern. Arthit may be foul mouthed and brash, but he's an amazing character. Perfectly paired against Dao's stoicism. I love how they kept Dao's character hidden until now. Well done Wabi Sabi!
Firstly, I must say Satang shined in his role here. Usually he's not this animated, but the part of Leo was made for him. I loved how Tiger's dad was totally non-toxic considering he's a money lender. He was a very thoughtful and supportive male figure to his son. The relationship with his wife was also super positive. The grandparents, while having some conflict with Meow earlier, did become very supportive of Lynx and let bygones be bygones. No source of unnecessary conflict for drama’s sake. When I watched the first episode I never expected it to be this good. Prime example of how to do a fluffy, slice of life, coming of age BL with some tension but not overly wrought with drama. Granny Juu I feel for you. Wanting to see Meow then passing away. That hit harder than it should. Again, well done GMMTV. I'd place this just slightly below What Did You Eat Yesterday for this sort of daily life BL.
Peat impressed me as Sky in Love in the Air. He played this complex character with a lot of poise, grace while still bringing across vulnerability quite clearly. As Kelvin he is clearly shining. The innocence at times, the raw emotions when conversing with Veir and the commanding attitude as the President are all played amazingly. I always love a baddie who can ham it up nicely. Namtan as Giwi in The Player and Apollo in Rainbow Prince (probably the only good thing in that series) come to mind. Peat is among the best relatable baddies in this role. Good going! As for the plot, it sometimes makes no sense, but I'm all for a bat s^it crazy story thats strung up well. The semiplot where Lalit looks like he's becomming a bad guy is very engrossing.
Why can't GMMTV find a proper story for ForceBook? They have good chemistry, but all the stories so far have been meh at best. Their greatest role was in Peaceful Property on Sale. That sub-story could have been adapted to a good vehicle for them both! Dao, while no Giwi (Namtan will always be Queen Baddie), was well played by Jan. I didn't expect her to be such a good baddie. Jamie looked real, real, real good in the police uniform :D
Thai House of Cards? Almost perfect. The political intrigue was simply epic. It's a drama, yes, but no overly dramatic characters. Perfect set in the "civilized" world of politics. S2 please.
One thing I love about this show is the friendships in it. Mai has been a comic relief, but we've had several…
Farm and Jay is one of the most wholesome things I've seen in a BL in a while. How they became friends is so organic and feels like a real situation at school!
At first this looked like some sort of comedy, but the development and growth of both characters has been amazing. Yes, Thee grew more, so far, but we also see alot of change in Peach. Plub accepting Thee as Khun then P' was also touching. It came from a place of honesty, sharing what she did with him in a moment of vulnerability. Very good writing. Phuwin has really come into his own playing Peach. He has the character down.
The irony of this drama is the 'enemy' tag of the main leads,they should have used the 'frenemy' tag.They attended…
They don't really "hate" eachother. Jinn dislikes what Jerome did to him at a young age, so they ended up in an adversarial relationship. They still do run in the same circles and their parents are very close. In fact I find that a positive and healthy part of the BL. When one parent is punishing their child the other's parent is in full support and even admonishes their child. No untoward drama there. The parents encourage their friendship and adversity, but have never interferred in their children's relationship.
I hope GMMTV can continue to explore these themes and Ticket to Heaven doesn't descend to another fluffy BL.

Sorry Dao and Thit.
They saved the best for last.
