I love, love this series. It's so funny and has been the highlight of my Saturdays and I've seriously enjoyed how viral it went with everyone doing scenes from it. That said, I still have a few complaints. I mistakenly thought this series was going to be 12 eps but when I saw it was only 10 I was shocked. Nothing happened in this series. Like, the side characters that had so much potential were just atrociously squandered. Aran and Tawan, they were this messy, toxic couple that I really wanted to see either part ways amicably after realizing they weren't good for each other or to see Tawan on his knees begging for a second chance. But they were barely in here and they quite frankly didn't even need to be here with what little they were given, it was an insult to the talent and chemistry that is PerthSanta and even though they were barely in it, they took up valuable plot time. Tee's character Tatsuya was sooo disappointing. Like how can GMMTV be so bad at giving most of their series actual conflict? He should have shown up way earlier and been an actual threat to Peach. They built up Thee's mafia life as being so dangerous and being constantly surrounded by enemies but the one and only time that Peach was in trouble it was someone from HIS life, not Thee's. I wish they had Tatsuya kidnap Peach to threaten Thee (instead of having him idiotically going after Thee ON HIS OWN with NO guards! Who does that?) And then had a big fight with Thee that leaves Peach finally seeing with his own eyes how dangerous Thee's world actually is for him and wanting to take a step back cos he's scared. It would have made his resolve to learn guns and fighting a lot more impactful cos he wants to overcome his now legitimate fear and still be with Thee. I wish they had committed to making Rome more of a fixture in Mok's life, like really shown how conflicted he felt with his loyalty to Thee, a friend and a boss he has to potentially die for, and his love for someone as forbidden as Rome. In which case, the dad should honestly have been a bigger obstacle. It was cute how supportive he was but if Tatsuya wasn't going to be the big bad, then father should have been. All in all, it's fun, I enjoy it, I'll absolutely watch it again for laughs but it left me seriously wanting at certain points.
Maybe it's just me but since I've been watching so many BLs that have in your face romance and sex (heated rivalry currently😜) I guess I really enjoyed watching something that was slow, sensual and where body language, chemistry and the longing in their eyes have to do most of the work for them as opposed to an NC scene. Not to mention I've come to expect this kind of slowness from JBLs since they are notoriously slow, sometimes to the point that I actually lose interest so in that regard I'm glad it was a movie and not a series cos that would have made it even slower. Not to mention I watch so many censored CBLs that stuff like slow burns hardly bother me, in fact I think it makes a story better sometimes because you actually have to focus on other things and let your imagination sometimes fill in the blanks. Especially with the ending, which I know some people are a bit disappointed in, but to me I think it's the perfect open ending, it leaves it to the viewers to happily imagine what comes next for these beautiful characters and you can then create any future for them that you like. A bit like fanfiction really. A trip to Cuba with them dancing alone on the beach....damn, now I want them doing a special 😂 Either way, I super enjoyed this and I can't wait to watch it again.
OMG! Did no one else notice that the victims house in the beginning was Porsche's house? That was so freaking funny, love it when I recognize reused houses. Also why am I watching this?? I don't like horror😂 I guess it speaks to how well it's done that I'm still here and watching it. Like, I need to find out what happened with Sey and Darin and I want to see King get brutally eaten by a ghost, I'm sure the actor is great but I so wanna punch him. Also, my boy Thup, stop telling people you can see ghosts and get some damn legal aide in there with you when these officers are questioning you. Also I don't think it's wrong of Thup to doubt Singha. They've known each other like 3 days and jump off a cliff cos you said so kind of trust is just supposed to magically be there? Nah-uh, nope, I would need waaayy more than that. But the sizzling chemistry between them, whew, they way that they were staring at each other was amazing. I really like this drama, it really makes Fridays fun, and tomorrow Me and Thee is coming out. The weekends are just the absolute best.
This episode was awesome, so intriguing and it's only the 2nd one. Honestly, politics are harsh, like it's been literally just one day and they're already pressuring Singha to close the case. Like, at least wait a week before you decide to call in backup! Who the hell solves a serial killing case in 24 hours? King has a schmuck face that I want to punch (no hate to the actor of course) Also, I'm hoping it's a translation issue but it really bugged me that they kept referring to a transwomen as a man, that's not right. Other than that, this series is so freaking good. It's literal torture waiting until next Friday. Pavel is so freaking hot, I can't get over it. Pitbabe was fine and all but he just seems...manlier here. Pooh is adorable but I hope they get into his character a bit more, I want to see more from him other than following Singha around like a puppy.
Well, this was way better than I thought it would be! I usually avoid horror genres at all costs so I told myself even if I love PoohPavel, if it creeped me out too much I wouldn't continue. I mean...it did kinda creep me out but I think I'll stick around for awhile. One of the things I really like about Thai horror or I guess Asian horror, is how they weave their culture, lore and superstitions into the stories so it's not your average jump-scare but a really rich blend of supernatural elements. Pooh has definitely gotten better and his chemistry with Pavel is fire as always. I have to say I'm a sucker for the weak top and muscled bottom trope and I'm glad they're sticking with it. So often you have the smaller, thinner one be the bottom but not here and I just love that they didn't ever go the stereotypical route with them or change the position now that PitBabe is done. I look forward to the next episode, I think Thailand should definitely focus on adapting more of their books to series, as we saw with Khemjira, it really works when you have a popular blueprint on what to make.
I absolutely loved this. 10/10 all the way. I usually start to lose interest in a lot of shows midway but this kept me engaged and coming back for more every week. I'm so sad this is over and my weekends are going to be dreadfully empty for a while. I need KengNamping to act in another show stat!! That we'll have to wait god knows how long for Magic Lover is a travesty. The music was exquisite, there wasn't a single song that I disliked and i'll be listening to the whole playlist for a while now to ease the sadness. Haaa....I'll really miss this show. I feel like it's a really sad reality that you don't get that many good BLs anymore and when one really hits the mark and sets such a huge standard it takes forever for a new one to try to meet that standard. I really hope that companies start paying attention to what the fans clearly like and start putting in more effort with their productions.
Only 20? They are literally old enough to become uni students lol 😂 you act like they are playing dads or business…
I know they're old enough in real life. That was never the point. I just meant in terms of acting skills. They're very talented obviously but MuTeLuv was very short so they didn't have to really put forth a lot of emotion. I have no doubt they'll do well, just thought they should have done a bit more first. Kinda wish their MTL segment was longer so they could have flexed their acting chops more.
Nah, it’s fine. Most university students nowadays are just bigger high schoolers. While there are still plenty…
I more mean in terms of skills and experience. In Bad Buddy OhmNanon were kinda in the same age group that SeaKeen are with this series but I felt like they could pull it off. They were young and silly but they looked the part of uni students. Because both actors had been around for so long and there was a build up to uni roles it felt a bit more natural. But yes, uni is just a step from high school so I'm sure they'll do well. I really hope they go far with their pairing
Maybe it's just me but I feel like Sea and Keen just don't look ready for university roles yet. They're both only 20 and they're such newbies that it just doesn't feel like they have the experience to pull it off yet. While I'm not the most fond of high school dramas there have been plenty of good ones (Boys in love, my school president, high school frenemy and Eclipse if you want a more serious school vibe) I just think they should have done a school drama, waited a bit and then moved onto uni roles. Their chemistry is great and they were so good in MuTeLuv but I feel like their pairing needs a bit more nurturing before they're put in more adult roles. It feels like GMMTV is so obsessed with ushering in the new gen of BL boys that they're not giving space to the already existing ones that have forged their ships over the span of years and are only just getting recognition or having their ships changed cos it didn't get enough attention. That said, I do have high hopes and I am looking forward to this since I enjoyed them so much in MTL.
Apparently, they were supposed to have 24 episodes, but it got cut to 16 for some reason.
That's a real shame but still a lot can be done in 16 episodes. I just feel like they wasted a lot of time that could have been focused on developing the characters relationships properly. Wen Lang took up so much time looking pretty but sitting in his office chair being an idiot when they could have exchanged those for more time with Gao Tu...or they could have done a special episode for their three years apart, just one more could have made this drama perfect but it feels unsatisfying leaving it like that. I hope their other projects go better. Since they'll be doing separate ones it means they won't have to share screen time so at least we get them in a different universe
Just one more episode would have been enough to tie up Gao Tu and Wen Langs story. Or at least a special episode devoted to just their story. I really dislike when a drama doesn't leave enough room for it's side characters and wastes all it's time on scenes for the main's that weren't necessary. If a 16 episode Kdrama can tell a whole story with multiple characters getting their time in, it is simply bad planning, lazy writing and zero foresight when a Cdrama can't do the same with only two couples. Lord knows they had enough budget, just wish some of it had been allocated for better writing or planning for how to adapt a book properly. That said, I did enjoy it for what it was. It's not the best, but it's not the worst, that's all I can say. Whether you liked the drama or not, Revenged Love did a lot more with a lot less, sure it had more episodes but they sure knew how to make use of their time with their significantly smaller budget. (You're telling me ABOs big budget couldn't afford at least 17/18 episodes?!)
you've summed it up perfectly! the omegaverse is a niche that not everyone understands or likes, and that's completely…
Exactly, like I don't mind the nc scenes, looking forward to it since they have great chemistry, but I just hope they won't be cringey about it because I fear that with an added omegaverse tag it might severely turn people off as too weird and I don't want to have to deal with people vilifying omegaverse due to one hypothetically bad series (that's why I hope they do well) .
As much as I love omegaverse I can acknowledge it is an acquired taste and while ABOdesire was quite groundbreaking, it still had to deal with Chinese censorship, this is Thai though and it has no such restrictions as we've already seen what My Stubborn was capable of. As we all know omegaverse is rife with SA and not everyone understands the concept (pheromones, mpreg, heat/rut) it can be quite weird for some so I just hope they do well with this. I hope the plot is good and that they do the genre justice instead of trying to follow an emerging trend and chock it full of NC to distract from anything not so great. (Don't mind the NC but I just hope they weave it in well with the story and do their research on how omegaverse's operate....Also I literally beeeeggggg for a baby. The fact that CharlieBabe never had a baby despite the while PapaMama stuff is criminal) (Also that title....my god, I just know they're going to go into detail and I can't wait...)
This was perfect, perfect, perfect. I've never watched a show or episode more perfect than this. I loved that this ep was solely devoted to developing the relationships of both couples. I love that even though Jet enjoyed their first time together he did feel a bit of regret for rushing into it, and I love that they both communicated and agreed to slow things down. Peem and Khem....my god. I am in love. They so perfectly captured this beautiful first time exploration of each other's bodies between them and I like that they didn't go all the way. It wasn't about that, it was such loving intimacy that two inexperienced people were sharing together. Also I love that Peem had facial expressions during the deed, so often the, top I guess, doesn't show much pleasure but he so did here. And my god the last 5 minutes gave me anxiety....that I have to wait a full week to find out more...devastating. i hope it's another 2 hours lol.
I can't be the only one who doesn't really like Peng, right? Like, from the get go he's been so antagonistic to Lava, and I get it, problem child whatever but it feels more like he's projecting his own issues and judging Lava without actually trying to understand him and help him. Like, sure give a bit of tough love and a reality check to get him in line, but throwing his dead dad in his face? Not cool. I hope they get closer and come to an understanding cos as of yet...I dunno. Wave is so uppity though, it's adorable and I like that even though Lava annoys him and grosses him out he's desperately clinging onto the only person that feels like solid ground. Lava as well, I like him, he's honestly not as freaking bad as everyone else is making him out to be.
This drama is literally proof that a astronomical budget is not needed to make an amazing show. I typically always avoid horror, I don't like it and the first ep kinda had that jump-scare theme going for it before it finally slipped into a more supernatural aspect, which I love so I'm glad it hooked me from the get go so I didn't drop it immediately. Also I really like that it's only two couples. I've never liked it when there's more than two because more often than not the third couple never get any screen time and the screen time that they do get just eats up the development of the rest of the story/main couples. Two couplings is the ideal and I wish BLs would keep it that way instead of adding more and more. (I mean the next prince had like three, four pairings?....couldn't keep up)
It is a very beautiful drama indeed and I loved every step of it. And I will come back to re watch. it's a solid…
I meant those as two separate things. There are a lot of boring BLs that are just being made for the sake of putting a BL out there with no thought for plot AND then there are the NC shows (which I do like as well) that are making quite a step forward in the market. I just think we're so used to sex being a focal point in things that we forget to appreciate the ones that focus more on feeling.
That said, I still have a few complaints. I mistakenly thought this series was going to be 12 eps but when I saw it was only 10 I was shocked. Nothing happened in this series.
