I don't know ... I must be the only person who is almost glad the show ended. Every Wednesday and Thursday I was completely ... well, useless. I coudn't concentrate on work and looked at the time every few seconds. I even entered the darknet to be able to watch it at 3pm in my country (I used a thai IP adress) and not an hour later on Youtube. If they decide to make a season 3 I will lose my sanity for sure ;P

I I have heard of them all. If I remember correctly I couldn't find English subs for "White Night" and "Irresistable Love ". Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough? I skipped Two Weddings and a Funeral because I prefer draaaaamaaa lol.

I had indeed a great start. "Love of Siam", "No Regret", "Eternal Summer" were the first BL movies I watched. They are my favorites until today. Recently I discoverd "Night Flight".

To be honest, I had a hard time to get into thai drama because the langauge has such an unpleasant sound, it's really, really ugly. And then they start singing and it sounds WONDERFUL. The first thai movie I ever watched was "Love of Siam". It was hard to listen to them speaking, but I downloaded the soundtrack immediately lol.

I rate Max&Tul chemistry at least with 13 (lol), so I can rate the whole series with 10 :P
I'm not so critical, nothing is perfect in this world. Efforts must be appreciated :)

See? I'm no expert ;)

I have seen the original channel where Stous and 2Moons airs, provides English subtitels. TV Thunder didn't do that, which is a shame. Maybe I'm wrong about the populartiy, who knows. I'm pretty knew to thai TV.

Talking about "overrated", look at Addicted/Heroin. I loved that too (yes, I melted seeing Johnny and ZhouZhou together), but the novel was like a bad written, smutty fanfiction with cliche seme and uke and even rape. That reminds me of the time when I started writing BL stories (now I'm writing about murder lol) and I had to compete with such authors. Good luck! Writing a good story with good plot and interesting characters isn't enough to attract readers. People are in need of some questionable things.
I'm very generous with my rating. TWM is a 10 for me, even though the story itself is maybe a7 (or 6.5).
Sotus storyline was pretty mature and smart, but the love story was too cheesy for me. But objectively speaking I think it's good.
I don't care about looks that much. Yes, Korn would be 100 times more attractive if he would look like in Bad Romance (with lesser muscles), but if Knock likes him, that's all that matters :P

Talking about "realistic plot". In TWM they at least adressed the gay issue. They could have done a better job, yes, but in many other BL series it looks like being gay is completely normal. I feel like the whole school is gay and everyone is okay with it.
I rewatched some Bad Romance episodes, both Knock and Korn were like I'm-only-gay-for-you (Korn said something like he doesn't care boy or girl, he just likes Knock - pansexual much?). In TWM they made Korn 100% gay - good job there! I don't remember how they handled this in Sotus, to be honest.

I watched TWM on the official channel of TV Thunder. Bad Romane has much more views there too, but it's longer online and after all the main pairing was hetero which attracts more viewers.
I wonder if it gets more attention with time. Not everyone wants to wait a week for new episodes, many prefer binge watching the series. Hopefully some talented people make videos about them to spread the love.
Storywise I think Sotus is better. TWM is ... well, I have seen that plot at least three times. But the emotion, the production, the characters, the acting ... it is very special. The chemistry between Max&Tul is something you don't witness often. How they pulled off the love and kissing scenes is admirable. I want to see others try to make a kiss look so real, emotional and passionate!
2Moons on the other hand ... wow. I don't want to bash a series, but the love it gets is hard to understand. I'm too old for something like that, I guess.
I agree with YourDirtyWater. Most like fluffy and cute BL stories. Funny thing, some people seem to dislike Knock&Korn because both of them are pretty buffed up. They prefer their boys more innocent and feminine looking lol.

It get the impression this series isn't as popular as 2Moons or Sotus, It makes me icredible sad, seriously.

Great review! Coudn't agree more, thank you!

I'll wait for the subtitles, pretty sure I didn't get everything. Farm was the kind of guy everyone could do with him what they wanted (sorry for my bad English), now he is able to say "no". Wasn't there a scene with his ex-girlfriend? He took her hand away. So that's a good development, he ist not afraid of taking what he wants and refusing what he doesn't want. But obviously he is going too far and we lost him to the dark side lol. He became like Bright. Talking about him, Farm's evolution changed him too (I'm pretty sure to the better in his case). For me it is an open end somehow. That a victim becomes a culprit is pretty common, psychologically speaking. The question is, if Farm had it in him the whole time or if it was really Bright's behavior which caused all that.

lol, I'm an author myself. Maybe that's why I look differently at characters and stories. As a storyteller, I think it was good. But yeah, as a viewer, it's of course tragic and terrible :P

lol, I think it was a good solution, seriously ... much better than Bright changing for Farm and being happy ever after.

Lol, it's something different, I appreciate that. I was never a fan of the relationship but I'm glad there is no happy end. But who knows?

Did you edit your comment or what happened here? Didn't get everything the first time reading it.
I think Max and Tul are GREAT in some scenes, and bad in some others. But again, I blame the script, which is very silly.
Wonderful, poetic and moving is not what I call real. My life at least isn't like that lol. I never exprienced a soft and kind love either, because I just don't like that. I'm not the romantic type, I guess.
I think we should stop comparing the two series, they are too different. I don't like TWM so much because of the sexyness, I think it's unfair to say Sotus was so beautiful and romantic and TWM ist just about hot scenes. I liked the BL of Bad Romance (many people hated it) and there was nothing going on between the characters. I hope for a good season 2 of Sotus and believe me, I coudn't care less about making out scenes. I just hope I see a Kongpop who shows more emotions so I can somehow relate to him. It was impossible for me in S1.

Well, at least you cannot say it was predictible. Didn't see that coming!!

Artrit was a complex character and the actor did good, but Kongpop was unbearable. I wanted to slap him in the face. I binge watched the whole series, so maybe that's why it was too much for me. Kongpop ruined it for me, seriously. In general I have nothing to complain about their acting, but the roles weren't that challenging either. When it comes to acting I normally don't blame the actors in asian dramas, most of the times the script or the director are at fault. Such a character like Kogpop was too one dimensional for me. So I woudn't be surprised if the actor does a better job in another series.

With "real" I mean raw. In Sotus everyone looked like a model 24/7. Even the love story was "polished" and perfectly cute. Everything was done nicely. Kongpop was a character too good to be true. The actor only had three different expressions throughout the whole series .
