It’s good, but not quite a 10 😊

😂😂

Just watch it and form your own opinion. Don't decide whether to watch something based on someone else's opinion. All opinions are subjective and reflect people's preferences, likes and dislikes.

I'm definitely not in the "fandom" (I'm not in any fandom...) and I find it enjoyable to watch. Do I think its absolutely amazing? Not really, but then again most shows aren't- that doesn't mean I don't find them entertaining.

Watch it, and If you find it boring, drop it. If not enjoy it.

It's really not that deep.

I find it quite entertaining 😂

I don't get why people take it so seriously and get worked up over something like a BL show 😂 be it good or bad. WillEst this and WillEst that... It's not Shakespeare! Just enjoy it for what it is, and if you get bored don't watch - move on to the next thing. It's not like there's shortage of shows. I tried to watch the latest American Horror Story, and despite the budget, cast etc, it was boring as hell. Dropped it after 3 episodes, had a bit of a moan about wasting my time and moved on.

Hardcore BL fans really are a crazy bunch! But without these boards this website would be pretty useless to be fair. The drama is what makes it!

Indeed.

Apparently, they (SK) have been hinting at more of a "red flag" series next. I would absolutely love to see both of them in such roles! There's been rumours of an only friends s3 - maybe they will be in it... Whatever it is, I hope it's messy!

Yeah this should have been given to some of the newbies at GMMTV and a more mature drama for SK. Keen's performance was good though, he pretty much carried this. Hopefully a good anouncement for them next week .

It's not so much a review as another complaint about the costumes. Regardless of ratings and reviews, people will watch this anyway because of who's starring in it.

I enjoy MDL, it is a fun place to come get information about shows, actors - and comment, gossip and have a moan, but I doubt it is a site that determines the success or failure of a series. I might be wrong though.

I will (likely) watch it or at least start watching it, but keeping my expectations in check. The trailer was quite underwhelming.

I previously built up my expectations for "ticket to heaven" and that ended up being a bit of a damp squib.

Interestingly, this is how I felt the first time I watched it (when it originally aired). Watching it again recently, I actually think it's one of the better BLs to come out of GMMTV.

The romantic relationship between Jinn and Jerome is a lot more real to life than what is usually depicted in BLs. Okay, it's not perfect, but the two of them cuddling, kissing, being intimate, working through issues and generally being a couple spending time together throughout the greater part of the series is very refreshing to see. I don't know if people just want to see the usual BL trope of 11 episodes of "chasing" until they do a basic kiss at the end for 10 seconds, but that is completely uninteresting to me as a more mature gay person, and has no resemblance to real life.

I was definitely too harsh in my first watch. Perhaps I got bit too distracted by the the whole vision situation and missed out on the other elements - or maybe watching all episodes back to back works better than one per week. Also, looking back on it, the whole vision thing is not really that important in the end. Yes, it does drive part of the story to a degree, but it's the relationship between Jerome and Jinn that I found most endearing and intersting to watch.

As for Wan and Farm, I wouldn't go as far as saying their relationship was toxic. I thought it was pretty well executed, and it also contrasted with Jinn and Jerome's relationship - otherwise you get two of the same thing.

I've done a proper U-turn on this, which very rarely happens, and I put this at the top of my list of GMMTV BLs so far. I have also changed my mind about this pairing, as for some I felt Sea may not have been the right partner for Keen, but you know what, they looked really good together in this!

Agreed, I think this should have been given to some of the newbies at GMMTV instead. Performance wise I think they did well, especially Keen (although in fairness to Sea there was not much he could do with his character), but the overall story was not my cup of tea.

I am glad though that GMMTV is giving them leading couple roles.

Hopefully a good anouncement next week!

I think this was meant to be a cutesy, innocent, lovey dovey, silly - call it what you want - series, probably aimed at a certain demographic, one that I'm certainly not a part of. The queer (or romantic) element of it is intentionally toned down. Whether this is the same in the book I have no idea as I haven't read it, but suspect it is. It's one of those BL's where the story does not really resonate with me as a gay person as it's so far from reality I cannot properly relate.

I watched it mainly because of Keen who is one of my favourites from GMMTV and very talented, and I very much loved and enjoyed his performance - especially his moody, sulky attitude, but the overall story was not for me. I don't think Sea's character did him any favours, I think he is better than that, but there was no room to expand that character.

I think a more mature series would have suited them much better. I hope they get one in next week's anouncement.

Okay, so what is it that you want then?

It’s not necessarily a problem doing that, as long as you’re being honest with what you’re doing. Lots of dramas are loosely based on historical events, but they tend be clear this is the case. I don’t know about this one though as I’m unfamiliar with the historical context.

Rhymes with “sin”.

Sadly, I don't think this will live up to expectations. That trailer was very underwhelming. The cinematography alone looked naff. And putting that certain someone as the lead who can't act if his life depended on it...

Probably, but I don't think these ratings matter very much when it comes to people deciding whether to watch something...

I'm not sure it's tanking bacause of the controversy - I think that's a storm in a teacup and has been very overblown. I watched the trailer, and it was quite underwhelming for something that's been so hotly anticipated for almost two years.

Putting a certain someone as the lead did not help in my opinion... I appreciate he is very popular, but the guy can't act if his life depended on it.

You know what, I take it back - I decided to rewatch this series, and it is actually far better than I initially thought. I'm upping my rating! Only thing I'm still not entirely sure about was how they handled the dad situation, that could have been better written, but other than that, it is actually well acted, paced and produced. The interactions between both couples felt natural and now awkward at all. Well done by all. Keen shines as usual in his role, but I was also quite impressed by Sea in this.

I hope they got another mature series for next year. I felt Weirdo 101 was fun but too timid for my tastes.

We get it. They used Myanmar costumes. They said they did in their statement. It’s a stupid fictional drama made by a BL entertainment company. It’s not some grand conspiracy to steal, distort, disrespect and discredit Myanmar history. You need to get over yourselves.

It’s not that deep.
