This started off well, but the past 2-3 episodes have been too slow and not well written/edited. However, Keen shines in his role and is showing great acting range. He has immense screen presence, and the emotional scenes with his dad are impressive and well acted. Well done Keen for entirely carrying this series.
The two characters for me do not have romantic chemistry in this series. Cheewa's puppy crush on Niran is cute, but I just can't seem them being a couple. Yes, I know people will say the book explains this better, and this means that and blah, blah... okay fine, but this is a TV series, and not a book - the two are NOT the same medium and you have to adapt a book, its story and characters to work on TV. But then you have the fans who complain that it's different to the book... So, you can't win.
You either have a good TV series based on the book or a lame duck that tries to follow the book to a T. Your choice.
Sea's acting needs to greatly improve so they can be given different and more complex/mature roles. As it stands, he can only do these simple high school roles, and this is limiting their range as a couple.
I quite enjoyed the previous episodes but thought this latest one (4) was weak, both from a story and acting perspective. It was too childish, didn’t progress the story very much, and what was with Aungpaos character peeing himself?? Really?? Hopefully it’ll pick up again.
Yeah but they have the best looking boys in town... so you know - gotta roll with them punches!
I don’t disagree regarding their talented actors, however, as I keep saying, GMMTV is a business, and businesses are in the business of making money. They're not an acting charity.
They will do what makes them and their shareholders the most amount of money and profit. What you see as the bare minimum is their business model. Ultimately, it’s a choice artists make to work for GMMTV, and for people to watch their shows.
You could argue that any actor who signs that contract, irrespective of their talent, is signing up to that business model. So, let’s not just put all the blame on GMMTV ☺️
And most entertainment companies (and all other BL studios) are the same. GMMTV is not more "evil" than any other.
Is it too much to consider Ticket To Heaven as the best BL, yet made, in the live action genre’s relatively…
It's a good BL and the premise of the story was good, but it was not very well executed in my opinion. The acting itself wasn't the issue for me, it was the repetitive dialogue. Every dialogue was about the same thing. Over and over again... I ended up losing interest and started scrolling on my phone which is not a good sign. That said, it had its moments, but they weren't enough to make up for the rest of it being too dreary.
When the pilot came out I was looking forward to this, but sadly it didn't deliver for me.
Agree on the overall BL topic, I'm glad it exists - despite its flaws. And we have certainly seen improvements to the genre over the past 4-5 years. Long may it continue!

"There is nothing stable in human affairs, therefore, avoid undue elation in prosperity or undue depression in adversity."
My biggest issue with this one was the constant and repetitive religious dialogue. It was too much!
I mean, it certainly doesn’t change the fact that you’re in illiterate moron 😂
Will look into Nour.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy watching gorgeous looking boys kissing each other ☺️ albeit sometimes very badly 😂
