Binge watched it to Ep 7 and waiting for the finale. To be able to see a character like Toki in JBL is so refreshing. Usually JBL characters are shrouded in mystery, reserved, keeping to themselves type... This show and basically Toki's childish attitude lowkey reminds me of Yechan from Love Tractor...and I adore them both. ❤️🫂
They put multiple story tropes in one and called it a day !
Confused ML ✅ Another ML suddenly disappears ✅ Accidental meeting and rekindling their friendship ✅ A third friend who comes in between and causes misunderstanding ✅ The friend who even after being with him for so long didn’t clear their relationship/friendship status till they meet another ML again ✅ A beach getaway ✅ The older brother of confused ML shows liking towards another ML ✅ And one ML who is supposed to be the best friend of another since CHILDHOOD didn’t even know how his older brother looked ✅
At this point I’m just happy that it’s only 6 ep. And it’s ending.
Apart from the nonsensical switching positions,this was a decent watch. The plot even though is super flawed and seems like written by an amateur , it works because of everything else. 👁️👁️
First, it's a sports oriented BL where they actually PLAY. It was so refreshing to watch that the volleyball and jujutsu both were given importance heavily. 🥋🏐
Second, the chemistry between MLs and side couples worked pretty good. I felt Ryan/First had very limited expressions compared to Sprite/Frame but it works because Sprite had overly exaggerated expressions. They balanced out each other. I found Jack and Mike to be the hottest couple amongst them, their chemistry was also the most natural. 👄💗
Third,the supporting cast actually supports the whole story. The cast is phenomenal as everyone delivered what was expected of them. Can't think about the story without the participation of them all. 🫂
Finally, Both brothers learnt each other's games so easily and no one batted an eye... Precisely the coaches?! They're playing their individual games since childhood, how did they learn it so fast?! 😐
I hated that they carried the lie till the last episode. First deserved to know it much earlier. There're so many opportunities Sprite got to tell him but he didn't. It's just weird to think that you're attracted to someone and doing things with them without knowing that it's actually not them. That's manipulative. 🙄
Tbh the story doesn't make any sense, true. If it gets criticism because of that then they deserve it. But it somehow has that old thai BL feel to it .. probably that's why irrespective of an absolute shitty ass plot, it works much better than some of the recent bls that aired. I'll miss the guys, i hope they get a better plot next time. 👑🤞🏼
My god this is such a disappointment of a show. Yes it's slightly slow paced but that's not the real problem. It doesn't have enough substance to carry in each episode, nothing that engages you. The writer ML talks to himself more than with others. The scenes just feel so repetitive. I binge watched it and that too speeding through most of the scenes in later episodes.
Wasn't it that they were connected by the girl telling the story. In the bar the two protagonists of the two relationships…
I personally don't think a connection between them was necessary. All three stories are happening simultaneously without crossing over each other. The brief moment where all three of them come together acts like a focal point and then they diverge into their own. All three of them have tumultuous personal lives already, crossing over each one of them would make this short story even more complicated.
There're reviews here that say they didn't understand how both the stories are connected. There're no connection between them. All of them depicts different stories of different people in different real relationships. A lot of people found a certain main characters intention morally gray but isn't that real?! Why do main characters have to be only b&w.? This was a really good watch. It's short but for me I didn't feel that. I understood everything within the time frame. Maybe that's why it has such divisive reactions.
I couldn't sit through this pairing in Ai long nhai but atleast here they're watchable. This show is good for a binge watch imo. Meen is decent but the ML chemistry is lackluster.
A masterpiece and one of a kind piece of art is what this drama is. At times it feels slow but you can't skip through the scenes at all. The dialogues are one of the best written ones and the actors show some masterclass talent here. Phenomenal watch and highly recommended. My personal favourite character is of the brother Chang hee. Every single time that man has sat down in a friend circle, he had only served noteworthy dialogues to remember. I loved loved loved it. ❤️
This was a gorgeous watch. Visually, sonically, emotionally and storywise too. I was slightly suffering through first few episodes but later on it got so good. The lead MLs are phenomenal and supporting casts are chef's kiss. The execution of everything is cinematic. One of the best Thai Bls for sure in it's history. ❤️
This was such a good and refreshing watch. This had more of a mainstream kdrama vibe than a kbl. The story is nothing new but it's compact. There's little miscommunication that builds up the angst but it's resolved quickly. It's good for a binge watch.The actors also justified their roles specially the one playing Lee Do Hyun.
Is that really unpopular? I don't want a 2nd season neither..maybe a special episode or something like Our Skyy…
Well after they brought out Mix at the very end, a lot of comments on here and also on other platforms I saw talking about a tentative s2. I think it'd be too much.
Unpopular Opinion: A s2 of this , is actually not necessary.
A show that's so unique with the plot and the execution and everything else, it's so chaotic and wild, it'll be better off as a standalone project. If there's another season follow up happens, I'm afraid it might just become a trainwreck of a show. Specially if they try to keep the same theme alive again as well ,it might end up diluting the punch this show gave at first.
The way every single character of this show has been portrayed is so unique for a bl. Every single one of them is complex,toxic and messy to say the least. I guess to survive THAT friend group, each one of them had to be slightly crazy too 😂.
I guess the whole point of this show is to tell that everyone is imperfect. There's no rainbow,all smiles thing in a relationship always. You just have to find another imperfect person to be perfect with. And then you can have your own kind of happiness. Be it a relationship or friendship. And how every single choice you have made before and making now can affect the future simultaneously for better or worse. The choice is sometime yours. This was a beautiful watch and a great reality check too of different personalities coexisting.
Btw where every single person just went back and forth with each other, I really loved Nick's character. I loved the growth, I loved how he loved everyone else and at the very last learnt to love himself too. He didn't try to change anyone but changed his ideology. Usually in any project if First and Khao are together, they easily top the game for me. But this time Mark hit the ball out of the park. Also Mark's eyes are so expressive.... ❤️
The two part prequel is much much better and substantial than the actual series. The story is so structurally weak and repetitive, it got boring after 2/3 eps. Just fast forwarded through it.
" I need you or else I can't breathe. " - Mizuki ✨⭐ The confession scene reminded me of Pride and Prejudice's rain confession scene by Mr. Darcy - " You've Bewitched me body and soul " ♥️
Far more superior than the previous season. Be it acting,story or production wise. Very underrated amongst other kbls imo. The actors of all three couples have great chemistry between them, the acting is not awkward, very spontaneous dialogue delivery. Except the main couple the other two shared some great kisses and intense scenes. I really loved the TA and the student one. Overall good for a binge watch.
