That was lovely. Perfect movie from start to finish. Yes, the mob rivalry is taken from every mobster story, the adoptive father figure, the “femme” fatale are all tropes in the genre, but it’s done well here and with the bonus of an adorable romance that you just want to succeed from the very first glance. Wild Dog looks so wide eyed and innocent and Flying Dagger is so expertly tortured you root for them both. They seem so puppy dog in first love cute and comfortable together. It’s how you want to be and feel with your BL boyfriend. The kisses were pretty good. The skinship was steamy but still tasteful and well shot. Sis was a great addition. I loved it and would watch it over and over and over again.

I tried... thrice. Felt too fake. I’m all for supernatural stories but this just tried too hard and i didn’t like the characters so I won’t be coming back for S2. All the boys are hot as hell and that butt shot. Wow. But not enough to sustain me.

As Second or Third lead he can get away with it. I think his days as a lead are far behind him.

Just an observation. Don’t get twisted.

White is getting a little chubby, no?

The first 45 mins were bliss. Loved the serious tone. So moody and atmospheric. Loved exploring the connection between donor and recipient. Not sure I needed the mystery but excited for the complications it will bring. But then it turned into a sitcom with the enemies to lovers trope in the last scene. Felt like a whole different show and one that I’m less interested in. Will hope the potential will be reached. Mix is adorable and seems to have some acting chops. Fingers crossed.

GMM chooses and approves all shows, directors, writers etc. they oversee the writing and have approval of all scripts. Yes, the producer and director have a lot to do with the final result but GMM approves every decision.

Why do I torture myself? I guess it's cuz I like watching boys in speedos. And Achilles has a BODY! Dang! Although nothing wrong with Giorgio or Gabriel's either. But what a mess. Not sure where this goes from here, but it should be hysterical.

Agree! I'd also like to see someone trip, then admit they are fine and can walk on their own and don't need someone to live in their house and hand feed them. But that'll never happen. :)

This one was a mixed bag for me. Mark is so charming, although in truth he is rather one-note. He's great at being glib, but I don't know if I believe anything he says. Ever. Still, I'd fall for him. Kit is a robot with dead eyes. Still, somehow I believe that he tolerates Mark and is won over.

I'm not sure how I feel about Wayu moving onto Thayu. I do think it's novel and realistic to show heartbreak, recovery and then moving onto your next relationship, but somehow after investing so much time into PhaWayu I felt betrayed.

I think the weird destiny/visions was strange and felt like it belonged in another series. One that focused on things like that (like UWMA). I'm sure they have explanations, but the competing destiny-lines was also a bit troublesome. Can we have two destinies?

Hated the Tong/Pok/Sandee stuff. Felt contrived and forced. And until Tong let his guard down and looked at Pok with... I'll have to say lust... I wasn't a fan. But that look in his eyes told me he has much more potential than he was allowed to show here.

Who's the new Pha. I know most of you hate him but I thought he was drop dread gorgeous.

The scripting and editing were fairly weak. I think all of the couples' storylines could have been spread out and threaded together better, so we didn't forget about the main couple for 2 episodes, or start the 3rd couples' romance until late int he season.

I don't really want to watch S2, but I do need to see the resolve of this cliffhanger, so I probably will. Will be very interesting to see who the main couple is and how the other couples play into the new story -- or will this be only tangentially attached to the Gen Y world and we'll see a whole new reboot? (Like this series plays loose with the 2Moons lore). We shall see.

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!
