I just cried through the whole episode. Twice. It was so well done I watched it again to appreciate it more but ended up crying just as much. I haven't been the biggest fan of Khem/Namping, the character and the actor haven't been the draw for me in the series up until now but he sure changed my mind today.
I was so happy That this came out on my birthday but happiness died today, is Wave supposed to be that annoying…
I agree but I won't drop or hold out for more episodes, I'll keep watching weekly because I'm impatient, and I'm loving the Lava and Tum chaos friendship.
2 eps in. I'm still not a fan of MondRyu, and Neo is still my favorite in this show so far. I'm really disliking the character of Pheng, maybe once we find out more about him I'll like the character more. I'm trying so hard to like Wave, I think Satang is doing great with the character, but I just hate the character so much right now. I'm trying to have sympathy for a person who lost his memory and is probably angry and scared and sad, but he's just so insufferable. I hope that changes because I was watching more for Satang than Winny, as I am just not a huge fan of his, but I like his character more after 2 episodes. My rating so far is 6.5/10. Hopefully the unfolding drama with Wave's family/country adds some depth to this series.
I'll be honest and say I'm watching this for Satang and Neo, because I like them as actors. I wasn't really into the trailer and I didn't have high expectations going in, but that said the first episode was better than I was expecting it to be. It set the show up well, and has some good comedy mixed into what could potentially be a too-serious plot when you combine elements like amnesia, royalty, an assault maybe by a friend, and family drama. My other thoughts so far: *I love how Wave acts so imperial even though he doesn't remember he's a prince. *Neo is awesome in everything he does. *I don't get the MondRyu hype, but maybe I'll get more into it as it goes on. *I still think Satang is a better actor than Winny, though I think Winny has improved compared to We Are. *I've never been super into the WinnySatang ship, I just don't feel it with them. Maybe having them in a lead role with more screentime will change my views.
I know it's on YT, but is it anywhere else? I have a vpn if needed and a subscription to all streaming platforms that show BL. I just don't like watching split into 4 parts how it is on YT.
This director New is a piano mover, an expression here in my country that means he does the basics, he's not the…
If that's the case then GMMTV has done the series, the audience waiting for it, and the cast, especially Boun and Prem, a huge disservice. With how long we've been waiting and the anticipation built up for the series and a new BP show, GMMTV should have done better. I wonder what it would have been like if Studio Wabi Sabi had stayed in control of it.
I'm trying so hard to like this, I've been waiting so long for it, and I want to love it! I love vampires, I love the cast, it's a solid plot, it should he great. But I'm not feeling it. The execution is lacking for me.
Some of the acting isn't the best, I am hoping it gets better as they get into character more. Ramil has these comedy bits about how obsessed he is with Punn, and I can appreciate that I just don't think they're being worked into the story well, maybe it's because we don't know enough about him yet so it's hard to pin down his character.
I can get on board with Ramil falling for Punn at first sight, that is believable for me. Punn dreamed of Ramil before he saw him, and Punn was fated to break the curse, so clearly there's woo-woo mysticism pulling the two together. At least that's my take. But I do not feel the chemistry between Boun and Prem here, again I am so hoping it gets better.
Mark and Aun are carrying this for me so far, I'm curious to see where their characters go, and they've been the best actors in my opinion. I want to say more but it's only 3 episodes in so I will wait and see if it gets better for me.
I have so many shows on my eatch list it took me a while, but I finally watched Leap Day. If you haven't watched it yet do it, it's very, very good. The acting was well done, by all the main cast, but for me personally this was the best performance by Pond I have seen.
Why was babe soo toxic when Charlie was for good mad at him for almost cheating on him???! Like b*tch let him…
Because Charlie spent all of season 1 and most of season 2 lying to Babe for his own good in the name of love. What Babe did was dumb but I can see how he would assume he'd be forgiven for the fake seduction after he forgave Charlie for everything.
Started to write a comment, spent so long angry writing about the characters that I turned it into a review and put it in the review section. Short version: too many characters, coupling for the sake of coupling, incomplete or nonsensical storylines, very little character growth, in fact most regressed. 4.5/10, an unnecessary sequal that feels like it was only made to capitalize on the success of the first season and make money. The fans and the actors were done a disservice with this sequel.
Just finished this and I definitely recommend it. I didn't know what to expect as I wasn't a huge SOTUS fan, and I didn't start watching BL until 2019, so I missed the hype of the early ship of these two leads. I have seen Singto and Krist in other series so I had hope that it would be good because at least I knew they could act and have lots of experience.
It surpassed my expectations by far and I enjoyed them as a pair, definitely better than the SOTUS era. I slightly favoured Singto's performance but maybe thats because Krist's character was kind of annoying for 6 of 10 episodes. They didn't rely too much on tropes and filler, the only part I thought was unnecessary was the half an episode of Tam's disapproving mother, that felt out of place and like it was thrown in just for the sake of it. But at least it didn't drag on for multiple episodes and it helped Phi finish maturing. Definite re watch worthy.
I hope GMMTV puts out more grown-up shows, I can't bring myself to watch high school BLs anymore and there's just so many university shows it's overdone. I also like the 10 episode format better than 12 or 16. They have cut out a lot of annoying filler that does nothing but extend the series for more ad money, and it also means there is more focus on the main CP. Sometimes having too many extra characters can ruin a show cough *Pit Babe 2* cough.
With how much GMMTV has expanded their roster the last 12-18 months they have a lot of ships that need series. I'm hoping shorter series with better quality production means they are going to be putting out more series per year so we can watch all of these artists they have picked up. I'm worried with how much they've expanded that we'll be waiting 2-3 years between series for some couples. But if they keep putting out content like ex-morning I think they're going in the right direction.
Ok I already commented but after reading comments I have more thoughts. I think both Saint and Poom did well acting, especially Saint. He was not great in LBC but in WhyRU his acting was quite good, and it has only gotten better through his other series. I also think SaintPoom had great chemistry, nothing felt forced or unmatched.
Lastly, I see comments about Saint and his perceived reluctance to do BL roles. I don't understand this. WhyRU was 2020, if he wasn't ok with acting in a BL why would he randomly do another one 5 years later? Idol Factory is his own company, he's racking up production credits on some pretty popular series. He's also acting in plenty of popular non BL series either as a main or guest actor. He's clearly got options for work other than playing a main character in a BL if he didn't want to or wasn't comfortable with it.
We all know the BL industry in Thailand can be questionable, there are good companies, but some of those have a level of expectation/have gone heavily towards incorporating explicit NC into every series. So maybe he just didn't want to do BLs under another company, but now that he has his own and has more control over what is happening behind the scenes it's ok. In my opinion BL actors can get very typecast, fan and shipping culture can be very toxic and unsupportive of actors wanting to do things other than BL. I would imagine for Saint or any other BL actor it's a tough genre to be a part of, not because they don't want to do BL but because it can be hard to get out of, or hard to have a varied carreer when there is an entire group of "fans" that will turn on them if they don't live a ship and fan service the heck out of it.
I really enjoyed this series I'm sad it's over. The main pair was cute all the way through and they had good chemistry together. This show was a good example of not needing excessively explicit and frequent NC scenes to have a good, popular BL.
A lot of series rely on NC scenes because they need something to keep it going and keep viewers interested. In this series I didn't get that feeling, it felt like they could show love and romance without going too far, I never felt like it was missing anything. Yes, there were NC scenes but they were much milder than a lot of recent productions.
I don't know if I'm explaining myself very well here, but basically I'm really glad a really good series came out that didn't need to rely on NC scenes to be a good series. I enjoy a good steamy series *My Stubborn* but I'm also glad that not all BLs are following that trend.
This wasn't perfect, Earn was so, so, SO annoying, and I kept waiting for a KaewEarn GL subplot that just never happened. My only other issue was the highschool student love triangle subplot was pretty unnecessary, and even though Yo is like 20 having him go back and finish highschool just weirded me out a bit. If they needed that they should have made it going back to university, it was kind of weird seeing Jom helping him pick up his school uniform in the beginning and then date him, or highschool uniformed Yo picking up village cheif Jom on his bike to get him away from business owner Tee. That kind of threw me off. Otherwise I loved it and anticipate many rewatches.
