very well said, i wish more people would look at this series as separate to the j-version rather than comparing
Hello. And they usually compare the two versions, and very rarely these, especially the Thai one because it is being broadcast now, with the original manga. I made a mistake and as a result the same comment has been published twice, but I see there are reactions to them. I don't know whether to delete one of them.
Understandably, some people don't like the idea of seeing the same story twice, much less if they've read the original. However, the Thai version has quite a different vibe than the Japanese one. Of course, there are cultural differences between Japan and Thailand, and this is reason for the changes in the new version. The characters not only speak a different language, but also have different school and work traditions... Their jokes, ways of life and different ways of flirting and expressing love are different. In large part, the changes are due to the cast of the Thai series bringing a very different energy to their roles. Fourth and Gemini and the rest of the actors in the Thai version are much more dynamic than those in the Japanese version and interpret their characters differently than that. Although the stories are based on the same original work and respect its spirit, the scenes are not always represented in the same way. Anyway, the Thai remake generates slight changes to the original, especially since it incorporates a musical that neither the manga nor the Japanese version has, and there are more physical interactions that do not exist in the Japanese version. All this makes the series starring Gemini and Fourth more immersive, sparkling, memorable and refreshing to watch even if you know the story.

You are always aware of everything, from the most relevant to the smallest details. And always depending on others. I congratulate you and thank you. Thank you.
I get where you're coming from. Atom falling for Kongtap feels slightly fast considering it's only ep2. I haven't…
If only I had asked for authorization from the Intergalactic Office of Love at Second Sight (OIAASV) or the Interplanetary Organization Crossing the Other Side Takes Time (CAOBLST), but from there they inform me that they don't even know him. Therefore, we have come to the conclusion that Atom has violated the Regulatory Time to Fall in Love (TRPE) procedure and Law No. 3 of the Crossed Love Code, section d), called You Can't Go to the Other Street When You Decide .
That Atom fell in love with a person in two chapters? But that can not be. If at least the episodes were 45 minutes and 23 seconds and 44 hundredths, but it is only 43 minutes and one second. That's illogical. It's not enough time. Or if each episode told a story that took place in 235 thousand years, well, then yes, because in that time "a donkey is pinched to death", but the events take place on several days of a week..., let's say 3 or 4 days. That's impossible. That time is insufficient for a person to fall in love with another... and much less with the different sex. No, for a person who considers themselves heterosexual to fall in love with a person of the same gender, it takes at least 567 years, that is, three million and 489 episodes of 43 minutes and one second each. But in two 43-minute episodes? No, that can't be. That goes against all physical laws and even chemistry and mathematics. Do the math and mix sodium with bromide so you can see how right I am. Abandonment, abandonment. PS: I hope you realize the sarcasm. It's just that I can't "fall short" of others when it comes to uttering stupid things. Lovers of the Japanese version do not enjoy the Thai version, but not because it is of lower quality or does not adapt the original manga well or for any other compelling reason. No, they tremble thinking that it is surpassed in the taste of the spectators. Hey, and wait for Gemini and Fourth's kisses to come, the kisses that Ren Meguro and Shunsuke Michieda never gave each other. I fear that a few will have to be picked up on a stretcher, given CPR and taken to have a pacemaker inserted and told to never watch a BL series again in their lives.
From the first episode, the series had me in the bag, but on that occasion I had landed on my feet and under my own weight. In the second, GeminisFourth, the rest of the artistic team and the technician, took me out of the bag and put me back in it, but this time upside down, before tying it tightly and leaving it hanging from an old oak tree. I am comfortably at the bottom of the bag and I doubt I will come out of it.
Seoki has graduated? Didn't he say he'll be joining the military next month while he was seeing minsu
Thank you for your comment. Thanks to the information, I corrected the error I made in the review, and I was also able to make other evaluations of the film. I would ask you, if you could, to re-read the review and give me your opinion. It seems I made the mistake when thinking at some point while writing the review on the medium-length film 'Namjjokeuro Ganda' ('Going South' /남쪽으로 간다), from 2012, one of the parts of the gay-themed trilogy by Korean director Leesong Hee -il, known as 'One Night, Two Days', (백야).
I don't like it because it is not a good adaptation of the Japanese series. I now expose the big differences between one adaptation and the other: 1 -Instead of a dog it is a cat. And I don't like cats. 2- The events in the Japanese series occur somewhere in Japan and the Thai series fails in this because the story is set somewhere in Thailand. 3- Gemini wears green underwear and Meguro Ren wears red underwear. 4- Although it is true that Fourth and Michieda Shunsuke have two holes under their noses through which they both manage to breathe, the actor who represents Aoki Sota in the Japanese series has much more slitted eyes than the actor who represents Atom in the Thai series. I don't accept any of this. Abandonment.
PS: Of course, it's sarcasm. I have read opinions that it is not a good adaptation with arguments as stupid as those in my comment.
What a great review, you put so much into it. Thanks. I agree, it was a great series
Thank you for your words. I try to convey in the reviews what I feel when watching the series, films and short films with the aim of making other MDL users interested in watching them. I'm glad you liked both the series and the review and that the latter was useful to you. I agree with you: a great series. I would like to see the actors together again in other projects.
very well said. it's a very tragic side effect of wanting to pursue fame, but a very real one, and I commend Only…
I like topics like this from the entertainment industry when they are addressed in BL series, since these are generally very light and do not tend to delve into other topics apart from the romance between the two boys. That's why I loved series like 'Call It What You Want I', little appreciated by the public. It is inspired by real events and exposes BL director, James, in a secret relationship with Ait, the main actor in his new series. The pressure of the BL industry on the actors can be seen, forced to undergo plastic surgery, strict diets and, worst of all, harassment from the producer of the series. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you watch it.
you can‘t expect all of that is going to happen in a pilot episode 💀ofc they will explain things later. That‘s…
Of course the pilot episode will not tell us everything, but it must fulfill its main function, which is to lay the foundations for what will come during the rest of the season or series. The pilot episode has to serve as the introduction of the protagonists and the plots, and is subject to several changes until the final product is obtained. Its objective is also to serve producers to assess their possible success. Therefore, creators must leave it as polished as possible to hook the viewer. In many countries, such as the United States, producers take into account the public's opinion about the episode, and there they make the decision to continue broadcasting the rest of the series or not. They even decide whether to continue recording or not, since sometimes it is written and recorded on the fly and according to the viewer's reaction. Latin American soap operas also take the opinion of the viewers and can film two or three alternative endings to broadcast the one that best meets the expectations of the majority. The pen must be important, as I did not see it reflected in the episode at any time. When the pen falls into the water, at the beginning of the chapter, just at that moment a pen appears and draws the title of the series in Thai and English in the air. When Muy and Tongrak arrive at the lodging villa, the latter bothers and looks at the sea, the palm trees, the coast... and expresses: "How beautiful! (this is around minute 12), the name of the episode appears, and it is titled "Love begins with the movement of a pen." It is, of course, in Thai. However, the actions no longer respond to the idea of the vague importance of the pen for the series, but not even to the title of the episode. But as I said in the beginning comment, things that have not been said will be said. I was not satisfied in the first episode. Maybe you had high expectations that weren't met. For now I will not abandon the series, but I fear that the reason is solely to see Fort act.
very well said. it's a very tragic side effect of wanting to pursue fame, but a very real one, and I commend Only…
Today's episode adds more tension to the series. The two boys found no obstacle in their path, and that was hardly credible. Shone's (Book Kasidet Plookphol) interest in Kang quickly dissipated. Adding a homophobic mother or a jealous girl would have been good for creating tension, but it's a bit more of the same. And what better if the series also deals with the world of idols, addressing the underworld of this industry, the ins and outs that surround it, which, in fact, is not often explored in BL.
I'm here for Fort. The episode didn't fill me up. And look, I expected to love it. It didn't happen, and I'm still not clear why. Regarding the characters, I didn't like their backstories (they weren't completely clear to me) or their qualities or personalities, or the way they approached each other. I don't find it credible how they approached each other, the way they treated each other. Mut was paid to serve the visitor for inspiration, but I don't think this gives him the right to treat a stranger in this way. Who is Connor, the person who pays for Kongrat's trip and hires Mut? A friend of the two who looks after one and helps the other financially by finding clients so that he can take care of them and serve as a tour guide? Well, let's hope it's explained later. I thought Peak's reaction when he thought Fort had fallen into the water was exaggerated. His actions did not express to me that of a person concerned that the man could be in mortal danger. And yes, I could be in love, but I don't see it explicit yet. What do we know about Mut, apart from the fact that he likes the sea and is a generous and good neighbor? I didn't like that Palm, his friend, "sold" him to a stranger like that. Presumably he acts the same way with everyone who comes to his bar. And then he makes it sound like he's a gigolo. Girls like him, boys like him... everyone runs after him, but his interactions with others are very noble and then there was no girl or boy who pursued him or he showed interest in them. And so, I go to my previous question: what do we know about Mut? Kongrak's secretary greatly exaggerated her performance, and Vi has an interest in her and the other does not know it. We will soon know what the interest is. I liked Mame's lesbian characters in "Wedding Plan" much more. The episode is titled: "Love Begins with the Wave of a Pen." What relationship does Palm's pen that fell into the sea have with the love of the two protagonists? They even show the pen writing the title of the series because of its "importance." When Mut jumped into the water I thought I would go and get Palm's pen back and Tongrak's reaction would be that of a lover so they would both understand that they loved each other. But the dive was to collect clams.
While in Western countries it is "entertaining" for many to follow the private lives of artists and spread "gossip" on social networks about who a given artist is sleeping with or whether a given singer is pregnant by this one or the other, in nations like Korea from the South, Japan and others (since it has spread) falling in love and having a love life represents the dark side of the music industry. I liked that 'Only Boo!' has touched on the topic. Everything seemed so perfect for Kang and Moo until… Photos of Jennie from BLAKPINK and V from BTS in Paris holding hands went around the world in a matter of seconds. Many fans wondered "are they allowed to go out? Who allowed them?" Many also began to criticize them. It all lies in the fact that it is very frowned upon for idols to have a partner. Those who oppose them point out that they have been betrayed by their idols. The truth is that in the culture of fans and their idols in these countries, luckily, it is not all Asians, it is deeply rooted in the relationship and fantasy of being boyfriend-girlfriend between fans and stars. The followers are of the opinion that since they are the ones who most support the work, music and performances of their favorite bands, and that without them the bands would not be successful worldwide, they impose criteria. And companies, interested in their economic profits, impose conditions on artists. Even in many cases idols keep their courtships a secret, but in cases like that of Jeenie and V it came to light not only because of the photos and videos of both of them walking in Paris, but also because they have been seen wearing the same necklace. In some cases this prohibition of not having romantic relationships may only be during the time of trainees, while in other cases the time is indeterminate. But while musical artists have a "product" in the form of songs and actors have a "product" in the form of acting, the question would be: what about the product that idols "sell"? The "life" of an idol is subject to the evaluation of fans, from the technical aspects of singing and dancing, to the physical aspects of the face and figure, to the internal and external aspects of personality. and character. The same fans hope that their private life will then be clean and ideal.
In large part, the changes are due to the cast of the Thai series bringing a very different energy to their roles. Fourth and Gemini and the rest of the actors in the Thai version are much more dynamic than those in the Japanese version and interpret their characters differently than that. Although the stories are based on the same original work and respect its spirit, the scenes are not always represented in the same way. Anyway, the Thai remake generates slight changes to the original, especially since it incorporates a musical that neither the manga nor the Japanese version has, and there are more physical interactions that do not exist in the Japanese version. All this makes the series starring Gemini and Fourth more immersive, sparkling, memorable and refreshing to watch even if you know the story.
