Ponto negativo: a bagunça que a Netflix fez ao transmitir a série. 😡😡

Essa série é uma montanha russa confusa de emoções. Não sou muito de séries de horror (?), mas a presença de Fluke chamou minha atenção. A história tinha um potencial incrível, mas uma direção completamente desastrosa arruinou o potencial da série. Eu realmente gostei da premissa da série e mesmo com uma direção desastrosa conseguiu prender minha atenção. Adorei não saber se as coisas estavam acontecendo na vida real ou apenas na mente doentia de Khun. Gostei da dualidade dos personagens, porque nenhum deles é realmente o que aparenta ser. A caracterização de Khanin e Phakkad como espíritos obsessores estava perfeita. Mas em determinados momentos tinha a impressão de estar assistindo uma série de comédia e não de horror. O fofo do Dangjai parecia mais um acessório que era usado para preencher as falhas da trama e depois ele desaparecia. Mas o que realmente me irritou foi descobrir que não existe o último episódio!!!Sério? Uma total falta de respeito com o público. Se eu voltaria a assistir a série? Só se o último episódio aparecer.

Lu Xia é um prodígio do tênis que herdou a força notável e o talento de seu pai. Ao retornar à China, ele se junta ao time de tênis do ensino médio e começa a descobrir o verdadeiro significado do tênis e a sua própria identidade como jogador. Na jornada para conquistar a liga nacional, Lu Xia e seus colegas de equipe aprendem valiosas lições sobre a importância da amizade, da perseverança e do trabalho em equipe para superar os desafios.Confesso que fiquei surpresa com o quanto gostei desta série, porque nunca fui muito fã de tênis, mas acabei sendo conquistada desde o primeiro episódio por causa da narrativa envolvente e inspiradora.
O elenco, composto por jovens talentosos, entregou performances super convincentes. Foi interessante ver a evolução e o crescimento pessoal dos personagens. As partidas de tênis foram um dos pontos altos da série. A série soube dosar comédia, drama e uma pitada de romance.
Queria muitooooooooooo uma segunda temporada porque fiquei com muitaaaas perguntas sem respostas: o que acontece na liga nacional? Lu Xia e Qi Ying ficam juntos? E o bromance entre Chi Da Yong e Tang Jia Le?

The cast was fantastic across the board, but JJ especially stood out. The chemistry between Net and JJ was spot-on. Their interactions felt natural, sincere, and believable. JJ, though, completely blew me away. He gave way more than I expected, and I can’t wait to see what project he and Net take on next. The final episode wrapped everything up perfectly, leaving us with a beautiful message. Highly recommended!

Pavel and Pooh absolutely nailed their performances. They went way beyond what I expected, if that’s even possible. The forensic side of the plot could’ve been developed a bit better, but honestly, it didn’t take away from the overall impact. I’d highly recommend it.
Now that it’s finally available on Netflix here, I’m enjoying rewatching it all over again 😉

What first drew me in was its unique and fascinating concept: a love that lasts through time, even as one of the characters reincarnates in a completely different gender. The show has this fairytale vibe, a mystical touch that grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go. It balances humor and romance beautifully, with a story that’s simple, easy to follow, and an absolute joy to watch.
But what really makes this series shine is the phenomenal acting from the entire cast, especially Daou, Offroad, Pond, and Xiang Pornsroung. Special mention goes to the young actor Udon Chayanon (Thong from Khemjira). Honestly, I can’t imagine anyone else playing San besides P’Daou. He was the perfect choice. He has the charm and elegance to embody a character who’s over a hundred years old, with old-fashioned values, and he managed to convey the doubts and struggles of someone who’s lived through so many changes. Watching San’s Journey, from his initial homophobia to finally accepting his love for Vee, was deeply rewarding. P’Daou is truly an incredible actor.
Vee isn’t a flawless character, but I love that he’s openly gay and unafraid to show what he wants. Offroad, with that radiant smile that could light up the whole universe, brings so much warmth. And the chemistry between Daou and Offroad is pure magic. Every scene they share is unforgettable. Pond, meanwhile, gave me a serious case of “second lead syndrome,” making me root for his character Third to find happiness too.
On top of all that, the production is solid and the soundtrack is wonderful. Highly recommended.

It’s a beautifully written, brilliantly directed slice-of-life story that stands out for its gentle, honest conversations and everyday gestures that carry symbolic weight, showing that home is built through small choices and for the courage to portray mature characters in a BL romance, something you rarely see in the genre.
The characters are layered and well-developed. Each one adds a thread to weave a beautiful, rich, intricate tapestry, with their stories intertwining in a way that powerfully explores the idea of family, not just the one you’re born into, but the one you build day by day, through conscious choices to stay together, through bonds of care, trust, and affinity.
The series also dives into themes like growing up, finding where you belong, late-in-life love, generational differences, challenging social conventions, and representation. The whole cast delivers genuine, charismatic performances, but special mention goes to Shiratori Tamaki as Kusunoki Hotaru and Hiiragi Hinata as Kishibe Kazuki, the grandson of the guitar factory owner. Kazuki gave me the most bittersweet moment of the series and honestly, if there were a spin-off about his story, I’d watch it in a heartbeat.
Through love and revolution, Hatano and Sakuta manage to find their own version of happiness, not the one society dictates. Hotaru realizes she can be whoever she wants to be and starts carving out her own path.
Chosen Home is a heartfelt, moving, inspiring, and fun story that’s going to stay with me for a long time. Highly recommended.

It was my first time seeing Nani act, and I was genuinely impressed. Comedy is tough, but he nailed it! Wutkrai was hilarious , a total mess, ridiculously lucky, and sweet in the most innocent way.
And my baby Prem? Just wow. He completely blew me away in this role. He started off as someone trying to investigate and expose the cult led by “Father,” but as the series went on, you could see those subtle flashes of madness in his eyes. That final episode was chef’s kiss , absolutely perfect.

That’s what makes this series so powerful and unique. And that’s why it surprised and won me over with its very creative plot. It’s not just an apocalyptic love story set at the end of the world, it’s a deep dive into mental health, in which the characters seek to resurrect hope by reconciling with their past traumas and regrets so that they can find hope to live again Each character has their own personal “meteor” symbolizing self-destruction, and they have to “destroy” it if they want to build a hopeful future worth living for.
A hidden gem. Beautifully written, with deeply moving and emotionally powerful performances that lead us to deep reflections on the meaning of life, on ourselves, on our relationships, on the world we live in and the way we carry our pain. Give it a try, you won’t regret it.

I absolutely loved the use of cosmic metaphors. They beautifully reflect the vast, unpredictable nature of human emotions. The cast delivers such nuanced performances, really nailing the complicated feelings of youth and bringing raw, youthful confusion to life with incredible authenticity. The magnetic chemistry between Ahn Ji Ho and Lee Sang Jun is spot-on, making every scene between them feel intimate and emotionally resonant.
One standout aspect is how Heesu’s Sisters shape his view of love. The scene where he comes out to his sister is not only tender, but one of my all-time favorites. Just like the moment under the stars when when he realizes his feelings for Seung Won.
It’s the kind of story that stays with you and one I know I’ll revisit in the future.
