This was cute, sweet, light, and lacking substance but I still enjoyed it. Stan Huang is just perfect. And Xuan Chen grew on me. They probably could have done this in 5 episodes with the same results, though. Nothing special, but a fun binge watch, for sure.
4 eps in and I wish I liked it more. It's a fine adaptation, but the original JBL is one of my favs, so this will always pale in comparison IMO. My first ship, Tay and New are great, Tay especially. I don't really buy New as a naif anymore, though. I think Junior is trying way too hard. It's a tough role, but he's forcing it too much for me. There's something about the way his scenes are shot that makes them look very stiff, that also makes it hard for me to warm up to Mark. I'll watch because of my love of this story, moreso than this adaptation.
This is cute and light and fluffy. Off is at his most adorable. He's toning down his acting more and more as his career flourishes and I think he's getting better each time. Can't wait to see more of Aungpao and a main role for him. Victor is gorgeous. I'm enjoying.
I really enjoyed this one. The acting was fantastic. Both ML are adorable and vulnerable and natural. None of it felt forced - and this was over the top sometimes in its comedy, but all to great effect. I even laughed at that ridiculous scene where they chase each other up those endless ramps, and the spit take directly at camera. Normally that kind of stuff would not work for me, but somehow they managed to do it all so well that I was along for the ride. The story is not entirely new, but it's al done so well here. I will watch this one again and again.
This was fine, but had zero unique elements. We've seen this story 1000 times before, so I'm not sure why they felt compelled to make another one. The actors are all good. The ending was a little unsettling. Seems like they're setting us up for a series in the future. Not sure I would watch as it seems to be just a retread of every other HS first crush story. But decent.
I'm sorry my opinion annoys you. I suggest you block me, so I won't have to annoy you anymore, because I will not stop speaking my own truth. Enjoy The Sign.
Having a lot going on and making it all feel like it works together naturally are two different things. It feels to me like the producers could not decide which genre to make, so they did a bit of kitchen sinking. Feels like different writers and directors were working independently rather than one vision coming together. But that's just how I view it.
For the wooden acting, I don't really feel any of their emotions. They all say their disalogue, but I don't see them FEEL or embody the emotions. Their faces are blank. Or they are over the top, like Yai. Even when Phaya is looking at Tharn with "lust", it just seems to stop at his eyes and he never truly inhabits the emotions. Their daydream love scene was beautifully shot, but didn't have passion. But again, that's just my opinion. I'm glad you're enjoying.
Acting wooden? Are we watching the same show? I've watched Billy, one of the two male leads, in Secret Crush on…
I didn't watch Secret Crush, so I can't compare. I can only speak about what I'm seeing in this show. Every show/performance affects us all differently. I'm sure my top 10 picks are not yours. But I'm glad you're enjoying.
Best episode yet. Really enjoying getting to know each of the characters a bit more with each episode. Well done! All the boys are so handsome and very good actors and deserve more leading roles!
I'm enjoying this, but this show is all over the place. Cop drama, supernatural drama, BL, goofy romance daydreams with filters and sparkly lights, odd comedy out of nowhere. They don't balance it all perfectly, but it is somehow working. I just wish the acting wasn't so wooden. Interested to see where this all ends up.
