As much as I love Tay and New I have to pass on this one. Comments indicate this is a tearjerker and I dont need…
It's not sad per say. It has you on the edge of your seat, can stir emotions with epic writing, directing and acting, and is not predictable in any way. A must watch! To tell you I am not Mook's biggest fan, but she shines here, although she is playing an always serious, non-emotional, logical character.
This series definite the best series of GMMTV this year. Also, love the guests in this episode, ForceBook, their…
This has to be Force's and Book's best performances ever. If GMMTV would make movies or shorts about the ghosts because the back stories have all been wonderful! I agree that this is GMMTV firing on all cylinders. The writing, acting, chemistry, directing are all on point!
i need my older BL fan opinion,, that like me watched the 1st version from 2014 back then.Because this is basically…
MCOT has managed to do a good reimagining of the 2014 classic. The same plot points are there, events move in more or less the same way but it doesn't feel like a clone or copy. It feels like a 2024 look on the story. 2014 almost had me drop it at S01 E01 because, to be frank, it wasn't the best opener for a drama. At E03 2024 is talking about the party, but it's one of the good changes that it's not shown. Another set of character dropped in 2024, or not given prominance yet, are the fem characters used as jokes in 2014. Times have changed and this drama reflect many of those changes from filmolography to atitudes. Well done MCOT!
MCOT for the win again! 10 years on and you do a proper reimagining! Maintaining the feel of the original without being an exact copy, and still modernizing it! Well done MCOT at ep. 2!
Love Sick was my first Thai BL (I had watched Chinese BL prior) and I remember thinking I had made a mistake after…
Love Sick The Series had not the greatest first episode. Honestly I almost dropped it way back then, but it is a classic that really took off after ep2 . I must say this one feels more coherent at the first episode, but they've already used so many tropes that were original in the predecessor. Eg. the uniform numbers not matching being caught on by No's friends. Ep 1 was solid though. More solid than TGI Friday which was supposed to be the successor to the original Love Sick.
♡Small spoiler ahead ➯When everyone asked Wang, "Why do you want to move into the dorm?" — How could he,…
Couldn't have said it better! It's amazing how Wang knows that's the reason, but keeps it to himself. I thought he would have told his father, but their moment went in another direction. Pure family gold. The sight of Tian's empty suitcase was a major wow moment. Priceless. Excellent storytelling. Just enough exposition at the right place (Grandad's place to Wang) without giving too much or too little, reiterated by Tian's mom. Marvelous storytelling. Great directing. Perfect acting.
I am annoyed with GMMTV's inability to transition smoothly between cuts. it's so obvious when a scene is shot…
Continuity is not GMM's strong suit and it shows here. The number of times Half's hair goes from messy to neat as the camera moves to another character is amazing . :D
This might get flack, but not ever couple in a BL has to be same sex. The mains could be, but Mudmee and Half are a perfect example of a well written 2nd couple! Pahn is just perfect for the over thinker teen! Hope to see her in more dramas.
To the commenters about bad directing could you give me an example? I think most scenes are just fine. We get the feeling of the character, the emotion of the scene and the camera work is good. The scene with Half's cupcake when he sat down was a prime example of good directing. I agree the colour could be a bit better. There is evidence of overexposure too at times which should have been cleaned up in post, but it's fine for the most part.
One of the strongest things in this series is the budding relationship between Mudmee and Half. I know these series are Boy Love and the main draw is the yaoi crowd, but not every character has to like the same sex! Mudmee and Half being all confused in feelings and what the other thinks is important is so real and down to earth. Feel like teenage angst at its best. Mudmee being an overthinker and Half just being clueless is also in the realm of possibility for people this age. Mudmee and Atom's friendship feel so pure also. Just what you want in a coming of age story: good friends and support. The static shock thing for Kongthap pulling away was, at least, original and adds another trope!
