This was just to frustrating of a series, and not in a good way. The story just didn’t ever really come together and it was so hard to judge the acting with such 1 dimensional characters where there is little to no growth and the “misunderstanding” was drawn out through way too many episodes and the “reveal” was too bland, with Atkin not having to really show any remorse. The 2 ML’s characters were basically the same throughout. The most dynamic characters were Year and Bee’s characters. They showed such emotional maturity in each of their scenes and would love to see them in another drama that has more substance, because their acting was what kept bringing me back (also they lucked out on being the mature storyline)…it almost seemed more thought was put into those characters. I also loved James character Tu, he was the words of wisdom and comic relief. To be honest I couldn’t watch the last episode without skipping. Overall a frustrating series, I think the actors did their best with what they were given.
OMG! I loved this…the acting was amazing…each of them playing these messy real characters. This couldn’t have worked without how they portrayed them…Gun and Off, this is their speciality, portraying flawed characters where you feel the emotions when they are on the screen. Dew’s acting was up for the challenge of acting alongside these strong veteran actors. Also the way that the art and the music played a pivotal centerpiece in all of this and the true concern of how AI is impacting all of these art forms was fantastic and thought provoking. 10/10 from me. This to me deserves a lot of recognition. It’s an artsy piece, it is not full of heartwarming characters, it’s messy, and I found myself crying and talking to my screen (yelling at times) as if I could reach the characters…it was, for me, so well done.
I loved this. I read some other comments about the story line, but personally, I enjoyed it, I was feeling all the feels throughout. I love Billy and Babe and they did such a great job with this. Knowing how much also that Babe put in to learning the dancing sequences …he was just so beautiful in them and his effort definitely payed off. The cinematography was beautifully done. Also, this story line wouldn’t have worked as well if Pear didn’t pull off her villainess era with Sophie…she really did a great job. Definitely worth the watch.
Loved this whole series. The opening sequence in episode one was gripping and really pulls you into the story line. To be honest I wish there was a bit more to the last half of the final episode…like I wanted more about Kings dad and a reckoning for him, but overall I found it to be a fabulous series. Pooh and Pavel really did well portraying their characters and bringing them to life…fabulous job!
This was such a corney, syrupy sweet, feel good, laugh out loud series… I loved every second. It just kept building on a healthy(ish) relationship.” Where there was healthy communication of their feelings throughout which was so refreshing. RomCom’s are not always easy and I feel they can land flat, this did not. Some of Ponds lines and expressions as Thee made me laugh out loud. 100% worth the watch
I really enjoyed watching Offroad play such a dark character. It really showed off his acting skills and being with Daou who played such a great supporting partner role was fabulous. My biggest complaint would be kinda the last 20 minutes of the series. It seemed a bit rushed to me to reach the ending, and so it felt a bit of a letdown after how hard hitting all the other episodes were…might have been better if there was at least 1 more episode to wrap it up. That being said…I loved the acting, script and music. Definitely a worthwhile watch.
I loved this, it’s cute, has an obvious story line direction, but they still made it fun and entertaining. My only complaint is that it could have been longer, it would have been nice to see better how he processed the “truth” and would have brought a more satisfying completion to see how they were blending their lives. Overall still a fun watch
I struggled to get through this. I read others reviews, but decided to give it a chance. Honestly I like Seng, but the character Toh was just too much. The character is just way to over the top. There were good moments though that made it worth it, The story of their friendships and the deep support they provide for each other was great. I watched because of Billy, Seng and Kang, but honestly it was Opp, Nutt and Looknam’s characters that kept me coming back. I can’t say I’m glad I watched it, but was something I was able to get through…and would not be one I would rewatch. The cringy humor and how over the top the character Toh was, for me was just too much. That being said, there are some how enjoy cringy humor. Everyone has different tastes, this was just not my favorite.
Don’t know about anyone else, but getting super annoyed with Nawa’s inability to be clear with Phraphai? Like, he has said that he see’s him as nothing more than a “brother”, but there is no way he doesn’t know that he feels more after the necklace and the constant touching. My guess is Phraphai is going to go a bit crazy and feel he was kinda set up for that trajectory.
This was cute, I checked it out as I love Nut, and his pairing in this with Petch was good. I really liked the beginning, little “forced” drama…more about 2 people naturally guided together and the building of a relationship. Unfortunately, I started losing interest near the last few episodes with a drama storyline that was just not needed. Overall it was cute though. Nut, who I started to love in the Pit Babe series, really is a good actor. So for something easy and sweet, this is checking off all the right marks.
Why are their teeth...all black? 🤔 the 1767 era dressing is really pretty. Can anyone tell me what's up with…
I came here for the same thing. I asked google AI: In 18th-century Siam (modern-day Thailand), teeth were black because of the widespread practice of chewing betel nuts. It was a cultural tradition for thousands of years, and the resulting black or reddish-black teeth were considered a sign of beauty, maturity, and social status. Was an great piece of detail they captured
So this was cute, but forgettable. They used some of the older BL tropes, so definitely some frustration with them. It wasn’t bad, but also not great in my opinion. It doesn’t probably help when it’s airing at the same time as some really great BL’s like Shine and Khemjira. That being said, I did enjoy some of it, but If you are looking for something more substantial, then I’d skip this one.
Well, I feel Apo and Miles and the rest of the cast did an amazing job. They said in an interview that this would be a BL for the adults and boy was it. Tackling the politics of that time frame and weaving in love stories. I also appreciated the messy ending, as that is real life. Each actor in this series had such a nuanced approach with their characters. The music in this was so perfect. This really was a great series, but be prepared to cry and not have a “happy” ending for each of the characters.
