I would disagree. You can't "believe in doing the right thing" and then blackmail someone. There's no way that could be seen as "the right thing".

I don't think the issues is... do kids drink in Thailand? College (and high school) kids drink everywhere. Whether "society" encourages it or not. What makes it formula is that it happens in EVERY BL series. As for Western series doing the "run into each other" meeting... yes, those (and countless Asian BL series) do it too often. Just like they fall down and fall into a kiss too often. Just as they bump their foot and have to go to the hospital too often. I think the point" no writer has ever been drunk" is about the fact that none of the characters act like they are actually drunk. It's just a bit too convenient for scripting only. But then again, BL is fantasy and nothing but fantasy. To expect real life is to expect disappointment.

He's beautiful. Strong actor. Very expressive eyes. And this headshot is soooo cute. I think he's cuter than the K-Pop idol he stars with in Color Rush.

I liked it. Unique concept that went beyond the norm in many ways. I was sucked into the mono world. Liked the inclusion of mystery, danger, and consequences. Acting was a bit stiff, but I think part of it was directed as such. This felt like an art-house BL. The moody look and feel supported the theme. It gets dark, but handled with some sensitivity. The editing left a lot to be desired. Odd jumps in the scenes and narrative. Finally a world that could support 13+ episodes, but it's snipped down to 8. Left me wanting more. But I could do with a little less lipstick.

All in all, I would rate this fairly low. Started ok, lost its way, became something else ENTIRELY. Rushed through the "getting to know you/fall in love" portion with too many montages. Then another shift into long, thematic-heavy monologues. Late introduction to characters and storylines. Emotions felt forced, since we didn't get the time to really know, understand and empathize with these characters. So many of the "realizations" of what they have/lost/found at the end were forced to be voice-over because they weren't truly supported or shown throughout the course of the series. And felt like they just dumped all the themes here as if they could make up for it. Lots of talking, but not as much acting. Gorgeous locations. Unfortunately, I won't watch again nor tune in for S2.

This one had some moments, but overall I'm not a big fan. Felt like the show was evolving as it was produced. Started off one way then became very different, from characters and themes to writing style. It got muddy in the middle and then became preachy and drawn out, with big gaps in between towards the end. Was the last episode some sort of poem? All the voice over and long monologues were a bit too much. A couple of charismatic boys (Ram, Josh, Max) but doubtful I would rewatch or come back for S2.

Watch The Legendary Lackey. He stars... and shines.

He looks so young. Can't wait to see more of his work.

That was adorable. I laughed out loud so many times. Great performances all around. Was surprised by some of the twists. Loved the theme of the underdog rising up. This is such a great set up for a series, I wish it continued beyond this story. But I'll watch this again and again.

Did they write a new ending in one day after reading all the fans scathing reviews? Feels like it. Train wreck start to finish. Chon was adorable, Mom was wonderful and funny (strongest actor in the show). Pang and Na were decent friends. But made no sense and not something that should have ever been produced in this day and age. Homophobia is not funny. Period. Putting it in a sitcom (that’s what this is most of the time) is unacceptable. The writers, producers and network should be called out. It’s 2021. Shame!

That’s what his profile says, but actors fib about their ages.

That was... unusual. I guess we'll forget about the workplace sexual harassment issues and just focus on the "love" story.

A bit too heavy on montage and music video elements and short on real character development. It's all meant to support a theme, rather than character.

I don't know if I could ever be "cruel to be kind", so I'm not a big fan of Tawan's choices, despite my empathy for his situation.

I'm all for showering your love with gifts, but did Ton DESERVE the promotion or was it all out of love? People do applaud his presentation, but it still felt like another inappropriate act that made me feel Ton was a bit spoiled.

The timeline was slightly confusing, especially when Ton's accident, recovery and Tawan's seeming lack of health decline (aside from his sight) happen so quickly at the end.

The sacrifice is beautiful and the redemption touching. Tied together with a lovely fantasy bow that stops short of the agony that is to come as Tawan inevitably dies.

I enjoyed it, but don't need to watch again.

Oh and why does getting a scrape make you limp?

Argh. I am so tired of how often boys get injured in these shows. And it's always some minor scrape but they get hauled off to the hospital and someone has to "take care of them until they're better." I don't think I've ever needed help putting on a bandage. How can you handle a relationship when you can't even put on disinfectant?

And Jaime shouldn't have gone into it pretending to be interested in Heart when he really wanted Win.

Ep 6 LOOKS nice. Still haven't seen subs for 5 though, so I'm sure it will be a while a while before I find out what's really going on. Seems to be more focused on the skinship. Oh to be that waterfall.

The waiting is the hardest part

The problem is... that's now the show. The actual show includes all these characters. It's like saying a book is good if you only read every 4th chapter. You can't really judge a whole by its parts. I can't ignore what's in front of me and what's in front of me is kinda a mess.

Can’t wait!

Kind of a waste of time. This is just filler to keep fans engaged. It just feels like they slapped it together without much thought. A few of the couples don't seem like they remembered who they were in their own series. An okay distraction, but not a great anthology.
