The premise is really intriguing. This will air after gay marriage is finally legalized in Thailand, which is cool. I like that they're showing that marriage is a binding contract and that saying "I do" doesn't always result in happily ever after.
I'm also really glad Fluke got signed to GMMTV after everything he went through with his last series. I hope this one doesn't disappoint.
I'm not sure if I'll connect with a bromance, but at least it won't be queetbait. The trailer was one of the best from the GMMTV25 line up, I'll probably watch it.
Aww the new kids are adorable. The casting department put in some effort! Pod and Papang are always great and the plot looked sweet. I'm looking forward to this one.
I admit that I'm super biased because I love Phuwin, soap operas and gangster stories, but this was the most entertaining trailer from the GMMTV25 line up for me. I laughed a lot.
I feel kinda crazy writing this, but I think Joong and Dunk are improving. I thought they both did well in the trailer, especially compared to some of the other trailers.
Ohm and Earth have been my #1s since I started watching BL. I love them and Mix and Gawin. My Golden Blood was the only series I was excited about from the GMMTV24 line up. So I'm super excited to see them all together in one series. But this story is not for me. This one feels kinda bittersweet.
No, these days I can barely sit through a Thai BL. In 2024 I finished about 2/3 less Thai series than previous years. IMO they're on a steady and steep decline in terms of quality.
I spent years trying to decide if Thai BLs are my favs or JBLs. In recent years JBLs have stood out compared to TBLs. But 2024 completely my internal debate, Japanese BLs are everything to me!!!
Jin not being sure how to deal with his feelings, Haruki's seduction game being stronger than most grown men's, study aboard being shown as a hardship/problem instead of a plot device when the writers ran out of ideas, I love all of this 👏👏👏👏👏. And popsicles have a different meaning now!
For me this is definitely the best series airing right now and I'm so glad there are 11 episodes!!
There was a time when I thought this was the best Thai BL of the year. And a time when I couldn't wait for new episodes. Then the EXTREMELY HIGH rating started to feel like a joke. After the ratings sabotage that happened over the last few days, I have completely given up on the MDL rating system. Anything that can be so easily manipulated isn't something I can waste my time thinking about. And since neither this show or the other series that was rating bombed are good, all I can do is roll my eyes at a fandom that made a mockery of itself.
With all the plot holes, missed opportunities, wasted time, extra loud music, cackling rich people, extremely long episodes, constant tonal shifts, and Joke's endless apologies, I'm left feeling the same thing I felt at the conclusion of Kidnap. GLAD IT'S OVER.
If this was marketed as a bromance or had a reasobable rating, this show would have been much less unpleasant to sit through for 12 long weeks. But it's over and Jack never had to apologize for all things he did. And most of the villains got away with it. But I won't act surprised by that one, because villains usually get away with it in Thai BLs. A world where actions rarely have consequences and the leads always get a happy ending. While the side characters get no resolution.
This is my last YinWar series. Part of me feels robbed that Tattoo and Arun never got together, but after all this time, if Prom and Mark wanted it to happen, it would have. They baited us and I'm over it. I could list all the ways the writing fell short, but the writers told the story they wanted and I can't be bothered to care about anything related to this series anymore.
The first 5 episodes were wonderful and I'm so glad GagaOOLala picked this series up. But I've become less and less invested in the series as it continues. Maybe I've seen too many Chinese BLs with an evil violently abusive dad and a mom who is MIA until it's time to break up the relationship because of "study aboard". Tan Yin pouting in every scene, the LOUD score, the lens flares that make my eyes hurt and the blurry backgrounds in almost every scene are just too much. I'm guessing the crew wanted to create a very artistic feeling, but it's sensory overload that feels like it's trying to mask a hollow script.
So many flashbacks and montages are robbing us of character development and getting to watch the bonds between the characters grow stronger. While I can accept that this story may not have a happy ending and appreciate that it shows the difficulties some gay kids experience, I want mode depth. The couples having basically the same conversation repeatedly, feels like a waste of time. And even though I never have an issue with BLs about step brothers falling in love because they aren't actually blood relatives, I think it's creepy to like a kid because he looks like your younger brother.
It's great to see a real Chinese BL again. Qi Lu, Qin Xiao and Tan Yin are likable. I'll finish the show and hope future Chinese BLs don't feel like retreads of older BLs.
This show is such a breath of fresh air! I love that the actors are all 20 and under, so they look like teenagers and not like guys in their mid to late 20s like so many other series these days. And I really love that Junior is so confident and not are scared damsel needing to be rescued in every episode. He wore the sh*t out of that half shirt!!! I also love how Sun is dealing with some heavy stuff, but still is a great friend and totally in love with Junior but not being a creep about it. It's also so fun and unserious, all the stuff with the chickens was hilarious and random. This is how you do low budget right 😁
This is my favorite Thai BL that's currently airing. I hope it stays this good until the end.
I'm so glad it's over. Watching a talented actor say those generic lines over and over while the other guy made faces and was scared for 12 episodes was exhausting. I adore Ohm and I hope Leng grows into a strong actor, but this series was a new low for GMMTV.
I know GMMTV has conditioned its viewers to blindly follow ships and praise everything they create, but idk how much longer people can keep giving the company a pass when it's very clear they aren't trying anymore. At least not trying with the BLs they produce. No one can convince me that a director with no experience in BLs and writing team with limited experience in writing BLs were the best people for this job. No one can convince me that GMMTV can't afford to find/hire more qualified writers and directors. They chose not to and the actors and viewers are the ones that suffer.
The vast majority of viewers pointing out the flaws in the series are not doing it out of "hate". Most of us genuinely love BL and want to see these actors in well written series. Papang, Pym and Ohm were all underutilized. They are very talented and audiences who want to see that talent showcased in a series are justified in being disappointed with this show. If other companies/countries can make much better series with smaller budgets, there's no reason why GMMTV should keep getting a pass for mediocrity. I know they won't change and that some viewers will still praise all of the lazy series they put out, but I'm not sure how much lower their quality can get before the views and merch/concert ticket sales start to completely tank.
