I have to admit. This ended up being a great series and definitely a good start for LYKN in the industry. The things I liked best in this series was these:
1) It WASN'T about uni boys from medicine and engineering; 2) It highlighted "real" issues that sometimes plague the "boy band" music industry in southeast asia; and finally, 3) OMG, there wasn't any made-up toxicity, overused tropes, or blatant out-of-date stereotypes. It was so refreshing to see!
The only issue I had with this series is that they kept William in those damn "lifts" or "elevator shoes" so that he would appear to be the same height as Est. Everyone knew he was shorter! What, you can't love someone who's shorter than you??? Geez! LMFAO!!!!
If I were to rate this series, I'd give it a solid overall 8.2!
The producers of this series did a very wrong thing with this series special (movie). It's true that you don't always have happy endings. But, this was not the way to end this series and to end Joker. I think it was a total let down to the fans of this series, and the fans should really let the company know it. I know I will. This was such an injustice to a series that was actually pretty good.
It seems that most of Oxin Films have become just "so over the top" with the overacting, stereotypes, tropes, and cringy behavior. Unfortunately, it seems this series has fallen down that trap already, and it's only the first episode. OMG!
This series is ok. But I think it would've been soooo much better if Hsiao Hung had been cast in the part of Wang Zhan. He and Parker Mao were so good together in You Are Mine.
Whether you liked The Last Twilight or not (I did), you have to agree that William Jakraptr literally killed that OST! That song was sung so beautifully that it's hard not to touch your heart!
Even though this series, and especially this ep. showed just how cut-throat and vicious the idol industry can be. In that respect this fantasy BL probably mimics real-life more than anything else. But, I just wished GMMTV hadn't used the old BL playbook in the script. Everyone knew that this break-up would happen around the second or third to the last ep., so the final eps can focus on the happy make-up. That's such lazy writing, and we've seen it happen many many times before. Just once it might be nice and interesting to have a few twists or something different happen in the story (especially at the end). LOL
But I still hate those damn "lifts" GMMTV is using to make Mark appear to be taller than Ohm. GMMTV needs to stop that crap! LMFAO!
