It was a 50/50

The only reason I came to watch the special was for off&Gun.

why do special episodes seem to come with a difference to what we expected or lack of. This special did kind of tie them up nicely accept that I am sure I like how Gun become a little baby for me, I realize that he needed to change but to much baby side. Story-wise this episode doesn't have a lot to offer, which is not surprising, but I feel like they could at least have tried to keep the tone a little more serious. The series had a lot of really emotional and dramatic moments, those were mostly absent in this episode. Also, there was too much voice-over in my opinion; that was a nice addition to the series, but here it became over dominant. And although I agree with comments saying that Gun and Off don't "need" kisses: I believe it is a bad trend in the latest Thai shows not to show intimacies, especially after many series in previous years have dared to show much more than just simple kisses. Theory of Love has some beautiful kiss scenes, which makes the lack thereof in this episode not very believable.

Overall : Just stick to the series as it tied everything very nicely.

Kind of a Repeat

I was so looking forward for this to come out, and I was a little disappointed, in the sense that they basically recapped the to series and narrated the movie, I had expected a much more understanding of the things between them, and see how they grew from where there were to was happened.

Nevertheless Bright and Win still extremely hot and considering I am watching them in the ongoing F4 you can see such a difference in there characters etc ...

So there is not much to say for this review, I do suggest watching the series instead though. The ending for me was awesome, still trying to figure out if that was a marriage proposal or a life long commitment (thinking)

The movie obviously is focused on telling the story of Tine and Sarawat, and how they ended up a couple, with all the highs and lows. For that reason, the side couples just… get together without much explanation in the movie. Since, as I mentioned before, the target audience knows everything about how Man/Type and Mil/Phukong ended up together, that’s not a problem. I really liked the final song.

The movie receives extra points for the cute baby and puppy at the end.

Situations overcomed ...

This drama was good in the sense that we get to 6 different individuals tackle their own fear and overcome their own inner demons.

The plot was kind of simple - six guys with the same name living in one house, all with their own phobia, and overcoming it with the help of each other. This is a family drama with each one having their own backstory and a time to shine (although i feel like Singto's screen time was less than the others).

The acting was 50/50 and the I loved that we have probably seen these guys in other dramas as well, which what attracted me to watch this.

This really not a BL but more a bromance and friendship of 6 guys coming to know each other with strangely enough the same name, each of them have their own phobia, and it shows on each of them overcome them and be there for each other, and accept each other flaws, and strengths.

Overall: its an okay drama, with a very good bond of friendship

Disappointing

I really had hight hopes when I saw the trailer to this movie, and was expecting something really good, but sadly this was such a major disappointment, that I am literally mad about this movie.

Firstly, and the one thing that got me, was how on earth you have a vampire with out FANGS?
Secondly, a vampire without special powers, I mean have you all seen Vampire Diaries? that is what you call a Vampire (Damon)
Thirdly, if this was meant to be a supernatual or a thriller they definately need to go do more research and find out how a vampire supernatural is meant to be!!

The acting was really bad and there was no flow whatsoever to this, for me it did not make any sense, and the movie name is really good, and gives you this major impression of an excellent movie, but sadly for me this was just terrible.

Awesome ... Can't Wait for Season 2

Wow this drama was really good, I so enjoyed that I rewatched again in one sitting.

There are four main couples and the series gave justice to each by giving them ample screen time. The pacing was good, and although there might be some awkwardness in the acting sometimes it wasn't to the point it'd put you off. The series also had moments where is has brought up common and worn out cliched plots in the bl genre and dissolved the misconception.

BOHN-DUEN : okay, this relationship is on the immature/inncocent side. I feel this couple get a lot of flak because their personality combo is one that frustrates people the most. I too am among those that have felt like smacking sense into either one of them in a scene or two but at the same time I understand there dynamic as well. Bohn is the popular boy who is used to having everything his way who fell in love for real, for the first time, with the innocent boy. Duen is innocent, with zero experience on how to be in a relationship. Bohn comes off as an arrogant bully but he always gives in to Duen at the end. And Duen is not your typical cowering submissive boyfriend either. This pairing is one that asks for a LOT of understanding and patience on the viewers part or else they'll just be misunderstood. But I really believe that if the done well, this pair has room and will allow the production a good opportunity for real character growth and development.

MEK-BOSS : This couple's relationship is one for the angst. It's a story of Mek who's in love with his oblivious best friend Boss. The heartache for the viewers gets worse as Boss is always chasing after girls and dragging Mek with him. I have to be honest, with the whole drama with Rayan (Mek), I tried very hard not to get invested in this couple so I don't get disappointed, but it couldn't be helped. They are so cute together I ended up invested.

RAM-KING : The VERY BEST pairing of the drama; hence why I have dubbed them "The Royals". Right of the bat, this pairing was a favorite. I couldn't get enough of their scenes, not a single one can be called just a filler. This pairing tells the love story between a plant and dog. King understands Ram like he understands his plants without Ram having to utter a single word, while Ram, the dog-lover, likes to care, feed and pull King around . I love how intuited they are with each other and to be honest this pairings visual is no joke either. Their character and relationship development was done really well. Really I can go on and on about these two but I'm worried I'd veer off of even the bounds of spoilers lol I'm all in for Monarchy all the common people be damned!

THARA-FRONG: The slooooow burn couple. Theirs is the least developed relationship in the series but I believe we will have more story for them in season two.

The only downside for me on this were the girls, running around like they had nothing better to do, and then the sister who clearly is siding with her brother, but oh boy does over exaggerate.

Overall this was really good and like i said I did watch this twice

What an Ending ....

Grey Rainbow was a breathtaking beautiful series i never expected. Although it was a short drama, but it literally had everything in there.

Actors were very well developed . Storyline was real , intense and dealt with struggling issues. i loved that they were very manly . thai series/movies tend to have a girly male role Not All just some. I dont dislike this but like to see the other side. where man can act like a man and just love like a man and be with a man . simple and real.

The acting, storyline and cinematography in this series are solid. However, the ending was a bit of a let-down. it just felt that after all the hardships that they went through and having come so far to be with each other, why could they not have had a happy ending they deserved, instead of him being left alone to bring a kid that was not even his to begin with.

If you put aside the ending I think this drama is really good and I definitely want you to give it a shot and watch it. To not make this even longer I didn't talk about every single thing I liked about this drama but there is a lot to love. I do recommend you to keep in mind that the ending will punch you in the face. If you really don't like pointless, sad and confusing endings then I recommend you either stop watching at 1.02 (this would have been a nice ending) or don't watch the drama at all.

This is probably why I gave it a lower score, the whole build up to have such an ending. The actors also did a good job. It's just that endings are very important to me so I'm not able to go higher. It would have been a 9 for the story and overall rating from me if it hadn't ended like it did.

This is literally too short ....

This is a really short drama of only 3 episodes from start to finish and only 18 minutes long for each episode.

Did I enjoy it?
- NO
Is it worth it?
- If you stuck for nothing to watch and just need to pass the time, then Yes
Is the music good?
- 50/50

Story line was okay the normal and typical storyline of a high school, basically the story is overused, it is very simply, with not much thought in it, you can basically just watch it with your eyes closed and you will get the feeling of whatever is going on, that's how simple it is, especially if you have watched enough BL with the same plot.

Characters- Well they did play from what I saw in between Dew/Best were well matched and the friends were cool enough to encourage him to take the leap.

What was the point of this series exactly? there were so many missed opportunities. It lacked, for me, reason, and depth.

What is it that the writers are trying to tell with these three episodes exactly? I felt there was no true direction.

Sad part it could have had potential but it didn't

SO FOR THIS IS A BIG HELL NO!!

Magical Touch

So this is the first JDrama that I have actually enjoyed.

The storyline was pretty different then any normal BL, out of nowhere. Surprising us with its wholesome and refreshing original plotline. This is a story about an introverted sales man who was just going with the flow of life and not much caring about love thus stayed as a virgin. and it was also kind of funny, (wonder what what it would like to have that kind touch). I did find Adachi, kind of funny in a very cute way and, Kurosawa, and his intense crush on him, refreshing and extremely hilarious.
I like how Kurosawa always thinks of Adachi, and makes his first experiences in everything a special memory.
Adachi is someone we all can relate to especially us introverts. He looks down on himself, lacks confidence, and always gives up fighting for himself and others when needed., Where else Kurosawa is completely opposite of Adachi. He is an extrovert person and the most popular guy in the office. He is a perfectionist in whatever he does. However, when it comes to Adachi he loses his calms and his confidence wavers. All he wants is to stay beside Adachi and make him smile. Kurosawa will be happy and content as long as Adachi is happy and stay beside him even if as colleagues but that's going to change very soon though.

The best thing about this drama is that all the characters no matter how small or big their role is very much like real life. All of us can relate to them in our life personally.

My only downside to this drama is that we never got to see there first kiss and see the expression on Adachi or Kurosawa expressions, and this for me was a bit of let down, and after building up and seeing how each developed and what was going through each of there minds it would have been nice to see this.

Overall: For me, the character development was so good. Adachi overcoming his fear of losing his power and mingling with people, understanding people without his power showed huge character development! Finally, Kurosawa can have his sweet life with Adachi. A Cherry Magic effect indeed!!!

Slightly disappointing

so I did have a bit of a high expectations for this and was disappointed.

It Started out an your typical I'm a poor boy and I need more than 1 job to survive.
The characters were well matched and worked well together, the rest of cast were pretty okay.

I did feel that the story was dragging and had to much dialogue and the pace wasn't quite there, there wasn't much in the ML showing there effectiveness and love fur v each other till the last episode.

The bad boy vide didn't come across to much and that for me was a let down. Then there seemed to be a triangle love developing but again that wasn't well explored, and left the dude been stood up twice!

Overall it was an okay watch, i will do part 2 mainly because of the teasers they left behind

To the point

This was a really short drama of only 4 episodes and not more then 15 minutes give or take on each episode.

Hmmm ... not much to say about this dram, I watched this in one sitting, and due to boredom and waiting for time to pass through, so it really was not on my list or like I had my eye on it.

I'm going to open about this by saying that if I had to choose one word to describe this series, it would be 'disappointing'.

The acting was pretty good, especially by War (Mark) but the story and plot were just a mess of scenes thrown together that contradicted each other and made no sense.

Like I mentioned earlier, this drama was not on my list or anything, but if I have to say that, the friends were pretty awesome and stuck with each other, this is like the only positive thing to this drama.

Rewatch value? This show has none. it's a dumpster fire from start to finish ( Apologies for the harsh review, but it really was terrible)

Strange kind relationship

This does have a sci-fi feel to it. As unrealistic as it is that an phone app can summon a hologram (or a virtual person anyway). It also is part psychological thriller. I really liked that it showed a long-term relationship of two guys, even though it is going through tough times.

ACTING/CAST: Absolutely superb. I was amazed at how well these actors conveyed the emotions of their characters. They weren't bashful during the "making out" scenes either. The actor playing Lin has some very pretty eyes.

Basically this movie turned the idea of dating apps and took it one step further. What if there were virtual companions that were customized to your exact desires. The skin ship is out of this world, brilliantly shot. Lin was adorable when he came but as the story progressed you start wondering what's really going on. This movie talks about something extremely common in most relationships. You never know if you are truly in love or if you're confusing it with some other feeling. About the rut every relationship goes through and how people grapple with confused feelings of attachment and simultaneous resentment. Not too sad, but it is emotional.

Overall : A happy ending, but a rollcoster.

Sweet & Hilarious

I had little to no expectations going into Fish Upon the Sky, as I found the trailer and concept pretty underwhelming and cliché.

Its one those dramas you can literally watch with your eyes closed, I found it really sweet and funny most of the times, and the characters worked well together. This is absolutely one of, if not, THE funniest GMMTV series I've seen. I find a lot of the delivery comedy wise in GMMTV series to be a little cringe and sometimes hard to find funny, but this series does not have that problem in the slightest. Although Pi and Mork have some really funny scenes, especially towards the beginning, the humor really shines in the "Story of a fifth-year student" scenes with Meen and Duen. Both of them have really perfect comedic timing, and the ridiculousness of their scenes are so fun to watch!

If you are looking to have a lot of fun, see one of the best sibling relationships I've seen on a drama in a while, and aren't looking for a cinematic masterpiece, this show might be for you. For all its faults I don't regret any time I've spent watching it.

Overall: It was a sweet and funny drama, that you could watch without any thought process to it.

Disappointing ... But Watchable

OMG ... I was so looking forward to this series after watching the first one a few days ago, mainly because of Tin & Can, hoping that they story would develop and how they came about to loving each other.

Firstly - the major let down for me was Aee and Pete what the hell happened!!!? they ended on a good note in the last series, so how the hell did they break up in this drama, and the worst part of it, was that even though i stuck to my guts hoping to see or at least get an idea of why they broke up, well that's where the disappointing part comes in, there was no such thing. All you get to see is Aee being so dam miserable and pathetic, although he did look more mature in this drama, then the first, but still why did pete leave, what was the reasons behind it, where did he go, and seriously Aee if hey didn't know then why make him a cry baby, from being this cool bloke in the first series to being such a hot mess!!!

Secondly - Tina / Can story was more a less a repeat of from the first half, in the few episodes of the start which to me was a real waste. But at least it develop to something, and we go to see why his brother was a nasty piece of shit, oooh but I love how Can stood up to him and threw down a few punches for his man!!, Tin was still so serious but in a very patient way. although it did feel like there scenes were forced compared to the first drama, the shy can and how tin was trying to explore him, and being romantic.

Thirdly - what on earth was the story between Kla and captain of the football team, gosh he spent most of his time running away from the man, instead of just talking to him, I take my hat off to him, for being so diligent, but that was just a waste of time, only towards the end did accept the man. I felt that this couple was used as an intermission and as a chance to change the mood.

To summarize, I feel that the producers created this season just to make us shut up! They had 2 years to prepare for this series but in the end we got something awful.

VERY DISAPPOINTING !!!

Alice in wonderland ....

So apart from the fact that the ML (Johnny Huang) is super hot, this story is really touching and has an exceptional meaning behind it.

This story is a very realistic one, a typical girl with very low self esteem, and how people view her because of her weight or judge her based on her looks, that generally what goes on till to day.

A magic portion comes into play and at cost to her friendship she initially, loves the fact that she is recognized, and get noticed by everyone, her true friend however, sees her for what she really is and doesn't judge her one bit, but at the time she can't see it. her greed overtakes her to remain thin, but like all things life it comes with a price. after realizing that she was lucky enough to revert back to the way things were.

I particular loved the ML and his support her and often when she was determined (short lived) he still stood by her and was ready to help or assist again and again, he never wavered. the FL played her role well, in her views on of how she saw herself which I am sure most can relate too one in there own encounters.

This story behind the meanings were really good, love yourself, never give up and always be true your self, and not allow other to judge you, it also stands to show what a true friend is or how love can overcome the views of others, hats off to the ML for portraying that in a way.

Overall a lovely movie with the whole Alice in Wonderland theme ....
