For me, it's not a movie called Balloon Landing, but it will always be Bay of the Vanishing Whales, and when I watched it for the first time, only the second half of the film made everything clear, and then when I watch the project for the second time, I perceive everything from a different angle. The Japanese film Dangerous Drugs of Sex, where there are explicit sex scenes, is completely different, like this fantasy film with only one random kiss, where everything is on the level of the inner character and the viewer, but still both films have something in common ... first they save each other, so that in the end the second one saves the first one. For some viewers, and they write about it on world servers, it's not BL just because they don't fuck and there are no bed scenes, for me and many others it's a deep and inner film about two wounded beings and hidden homosexuality (I don't see it only as a bromance), because love has many forms and it's practically on the same wavelength as the Taiwanese project The On1y One, where there's also no physical contact. Excellent acting, beautiful scenery of southern Taiwan and modern Hong Kong, a handkerchief at the end and I will return to the film... and an amazing fresh spark in the form of actor Fandy Fan and a great performance by Hong Konger Terrance Lau. A beautiful inner experience.
Rest, relaxation, a treat for the eye, ear and soul. What the Taiwanese can do lately, especially in terms of music, and it's not just this series, but others as well. Yes, the story is simpler and in the MDL rating, Seroš has "only" 7.6, but that's how it is with musical projects and everything was compensated for me by other types of ratings, from the already mentioned music and songs, to the processing and above all to the acting and singing aspects. Where do so many handsome Taiwanese get married, and it's practically one sero after another, whether from the likeable Reese, through Sea, who blossomed from a plucked mouse into a physical and mental beauty in the second half, to the perfect sweetie Charles, whom I've always looked up to was looking forward to I just didn't like the Thai Orca, who was a little edgy with that blond hairdo. And the costumes, also supr, from the torn white sweater to some jackets and other clothes that Charles wore with his model figure .... I think I had to go to the store for a big lollipop in the ninth episode, so as not to snap out of it 😉4x10
Yes, I don't need to be a school sergeant for a long time and I secretly hoped, at the age of actors, that the school would disappear after one or two episodes and that it would go, as it were, into the future. And look, in the next parts there is only school. Such a series obsessed with school. And how Wang is powdered with tons of powder and we all know why (?) and how the creators with insight play with the viewer with the age pelmel of the actors, when the "17-year-old student Pepper" (and not only her), apart from the director, is sovereignly the oldest not only above the set all students, but also teachers. On the other hand, I have to admit that it's not just a school-superficial series, where they only walk in the corridors in knee socks and the characters are simple in terms of character, type. Here both main characters are extremely complex in depth. Tian cannot know himself, and not only because of a not very pleasant childhood, he is strongly divided in his soul, something weighs on him and troubles him a lot since he met Wang, while Wang acts suddenly, he is done with everything immediately, sometimes moody, impetuous, unpredictable, I even think that his actions often hurt Tiana internally, and in the end I have to say that both actors play these layered characters very well and I'm glad they chose them. And what completely shocks me in the good sense of the word, and many viewers are unnecessarily upset by it, is that what usually starts in the first episodes of other series, here, with the most beautiful feeling in the world, the creators and actors play so gently and humbly , that we don't get to know him through Wang almost until the end of the first series. And the second season ... it will be a jump from 2012 to 2024 (?)
Petro, nejsi sama, mě se taky hodně líbí August, trošku mi připomíná stylem hraní i vizáží, postavou,…
Tys to trošku obrátila a přetočila. Já nepsal, že mě to zavazí nebo vadí. Jen mě to zarazilo, neboť jsem nejdříve zhlédl dostupné díly, nic mi mezi nimi NEZAVAZELO a pak jsem se podíval na jejich věk. Tak asi tak ...
They won with August in this series ❤️ He is absolutely amazing, but Mac is great too 😍 Love this Thai…
Petro, nejsi sama, mě se taky hodně líbí August, trošku mi připomíná stylem hraní i vizáží, postavou, Ohma. Jen mě zaráží ten velký věkový odstup mezi oběma dvěma, co hrají hlavní postavy ...
In short: beauty in power saving mode. I didn't find a mistake there, everything fit as it should. In the beginning, two actors in their twenties who look even younger and lo and behold, one is 27 and the other is 32. I enjoy the intimate intimate concept if done well and the sing-along Korean and all enhanced by the soft background music and slow non-violent processing, even though you iced teas, which no character ever even touched ... and when the fourth character - the handsome prince - came in the second half, it was swept away, however it might have ended. I guess I'm different (yes, I am), I just have a different opinion than most on IMDb and MDL
This time my review will be a bit longer, but those who know me and write to me many times on gaytitulky.info, where the series is translated into CZ, will surely forgive me. This is one of those really good mystery series connected with the Thai branch of Buddhism, it surprised me because after the first episode I had no idea what would happen next, because the original described plot took place in the first episode and I didn't like the main characters either. Apparently, the same process took place inside me while watching, as with many viewers, because the increase in ratings from the first episodes to the end is not typical, it usually decreases (IMDb from 7.2 to 8.3 and MDL from 8.0 to 8.5) and I found my way to two the main performers and I started to like them a lot, both as characters and as actors. Well, if I look at San (Daou), how he looks at MDL in civilian clothes, maybe it's not him either, I don't want that! 🤣 I've gotten used to it and I love the look of the "old man" with old-fashioned clothes and short pants, the creators did a good job with that. Not to mention Ponda (Third), I already love this little girl from the 180 Degree series ... And even the great-great-granddaughter Ju was really great, one of the few "normal" female characters in BL projects, otherwise we mostly meet scumbags, extra bushes, or is the character scared, affected or annoying. All of them, including Ton and Tao, convinced me that in the end I gave the acting performances not a nine, which I originally thought, but a ten, despite the slightly grinning "rat" Rat. The overall concept, the story, the actors, the music, all of this completely prevailed in my assessment, and this is not affected even by the not completely 100% processing, which can be partially excused by the fact that the creators had to fit into a very limited budget (battles, shooting games and red marmalade or raspberry juice, treadmill, etc. and at the climax of the last episode we had to watch Tao brushing his teeth with superpaste). But what I can't forgive, and it shouldn't affect the budget, and many viewers will forgive even this under the overall impression, are the two Asian "falls" in the first part and in the last one, when Wat holds the stone in his pretty feminine fingers and in the close-up in the shot, it is held by a man's fingers (apparently this omitted scene was recorded by directors Wo and MI themselves), I thought they were going to limit me, I've already seen it in some other series, I'd kick someone from the crew for that, and I'm reducing it by two whole rating points for processing. 1010108
One of those really good mystery series connected with Thai culture surprised me because after the first episode I had no idea what would happen next, because the original described plot took place in the first episode. A bit of semi-amateur fighting and shooting, and the ending hit me when Wat is holding the stone in his hands, and in a close-up, it's being held by a guy's fingers. Do the creators think that all viewers are morons?
After I put it down "not indefinitely" after two episodes, the series stroked my soul terribly after watching it. It's so different, and I just needed the story, to get rid of those familiar patterns where two people meet, start to like each other (or even hate each other at first) and before the end there is regularly a big fallout, a breakup, an artificial betrayal, so that in the end the fairy tale turned out well and the viewer was satisfied. There was nothing like that here, it was pleasant, and what if the whole bunch of handsome entertainers, including the DJ, were gay, but it's a BL project, all over twenty and supplemented by two thirty-year-old muscle men, and the BL trio was the cherry on top. Shogun and First played excellently even the more titillating scenes, and I want to underline the exceptional otherness of this part with the evaluation, which I will definitely come back to... 10101010
The three-bar soliloquy went by as quickly as a breeze, refreshing me with its delicacy and fragile message of how many hundreds of forms love and friendship between two human beings have. Again (for the umpteenth time already) I hear such original deep voices, assigned to almost all Koreans from above, and speech so different from China, while Korea grows out of it like a blind intestine. Two boys with carefully combed hair in their eyes and after watching the feeling of something very pleasant, pleasing to my soul.
Overall, an above-average project, filmed according to a real event, a slightly weaker script. You could tell the economical processing (or is it Oxinfilms' style already?), so most of the scenes are just static without much use and camera movements. For me, it was the actors who pulled it to a higher rating due to their appearance (only the young and younger actors and actresses, older ones, e.g. parents, were convulsive, including the director himself). This is the most cute thing about the entire series, this time I mean the character of the trans girl Georgie, who, although she still had a deep voice, looked elegant like a woman and she didn't get used to me at all, she didn't smirk or pout, just a pleasant character. And the two fawns Daryll and Orly don't lie as actors, like 95% of the other actors in BL, because they belong together in life as well! And they sure did. It will be very pleasant to watch the project especially for those who like handsome young men.
Footnotes (WTF?) - in the third episode, Thor is sitting alone at home in a bathtub full of water, but he has white briefs, that's really cute ... 🤣 - in the last episode, Shao can't find Briggs, he "disappeared", while he knows very well that he works at a car repair shop and has been to see him several times 😊 - what kind of scene is it when the two families fight before the wedding and in the end it looks like the Chen family is the loser, while Luisa's family has all the properties built on the Chens, only Briggs is bad and the family doesn't even know that their daughter she was making out the day before her wedding to Weston and her lesbian lover was taking care of her crotch 🤣
Footnotes (COMIC) - Louise asks Posh in one of the scenes: "lick more" 🤣🤣 - when everyone is giving it to each other at the beginning of the seventh episode, Tinghun is in the car with Georgia and he loads her first, but then there is a shot of her loading him (because she is a trans woman who is the queen above but the king below) 🤣
Those boys, actually they are not boys anymore, really grew on my heart, very much ... and the choice of actors was also very good as with Pit Babe and Yai, perfect from head to toe, he made sure for everyone. From the beginning of the first episode, I thought I was going to give up on the series. Ten or twenty minutes of just some kind of training, an incredible buzz, without any order or storage, and I would prefer to kick Captain Akka in the ass, regardless of the fact that I suspected him of something nefarious for several episodes. Then the series turned a lot into the mystical and I admit that it was unnecessarily too complicated for my taste, yes, according to the template, but it tempted me to believe the story less that something similar could happen in reality and take it more as a fairy tale. I appreciate that the creators tried to balance so many themes such as unit training, crime, corruption, first love and BL romance with fairytale fantasy and the supernatural. But those topics were too much for me. Therefore, from my point of view, I cannot give the story the highest mark, I was very satisfied with everything else, the music in the last part is great ... 9101010
BL series have only been around for a few years and their biggest boom was after covid and many think that before that it was almost the dark ages of BL in Asia. This is not the case, and this film, as well as several others, only proves it. The love triangle presented by the Thai filmmakers with an economical and intimate treatment did not leave me cold, I have seen the film before and now again during the correction and I will admit without torture that simply if there are likeable actors, it will always have a charm for me. The charm of Thai men in Bangkok. He plays here in his youth Ten, an actor and director who starred in the series Innocence and Gay OK Bangkok (we have them here on GT, the first one also translated) and also the super symposia Ohm, which I have not seen anywhere yet and I am a little surprised that these two fought especially about Wan (actor Gun), who looks like a nicely reworked Fantomas. A decade-old film prepared a nice experience for me. 91099
And here it is!! Mile, Apo, Bas and Tong are back ... The film, which was made to promote Thai art and culture, was a great success. It's something completely different and I didn't mind that BL was almost not there (gay interest at the beginning), but I felt that "something" between Apo and Mile there again (bromance). And I'm not going to punish the movie just because it's not KinnPorsche. Everything, especially the film equipment, was polished to the utmost detail from the scene, costumes, camera, editing, music and acting, simply this page is perfect in my opinion, an excellent move that Bas and Tong were there. The film needs to be seen at least twice so that the viewer is able to perceive all the small messages and subtle nuances ... Bottom line: I expected a little more "dance" performances by Apo and I always thought that Apo was the most "muscular" of the four, but he rather lost weight, while Bas surprised me with his figure... 10101010
I started watching the series, I liked it, but it gradually went downhill. I'm not hiding anything and I'm telling you that I lasted until the end only and mainly because of Dew's immense sympathy for me. I also have to appreciate the erotic scenes here as in Pit Babe, almost perfect kisses. I didn't really like the choice of actors except for Dew (even Tora, nothing against it, but sometimes he just seemed to me as if he had parents from Mongolia), because I'm "afflicted" by liking the beautiful actors from Pit Babe, except maybe Ryan (Dream) as if they were picked up somewhere on the street and the four virgins? I understand that they had to play it that way, but often it was just four horrible grinning faces. As an actor, practically everyone was up to par. I was still waiting to see if it would somehow develop more in later episodes, but it didn't, on the contrary, stretching, flaws in the processing (alternating bleached-grown-ungrown hair, nails, they both lie in bed "naked", then one climbs out and has not only trencle, but on top of that, sweatpants, etc.) and own episodes that are shorter and shorter added "behind the scenes". I say goodbye to this serosh with one sentence from the end of the last episode: "do you want to see him"? 5964
I recommend the film to those viewers who are looking for a deep experience, because when they gradually penetrate into the characters and their fates through the long beginning, the film absorbs them and they find that they have touched something wonderful and several victories and awards for the then two teenage representatives of the older characters (Tong + Mew) just confirms it, although in my opinion it is not a purely BL film. Tonga's mother - Sunee is also a prominent character in the film, sometimes I thought that she is perhaps the most important character with worries about her sick husband, lost daughter and son, whose sexual orientation is coming to the surface and she won't even have grandchildren. Gradually, however, the fates of the individual characters wrap up, until everything finally culminates, and not only at the end. The last scenes are very touching and in connection with the family drama and despite the sometimes a bit lengthy shots and sometimes a minor touch of processing, it still leads me to the conclusion that this is one of the best Thai films of those years.

A pleasant chamber short, I liked the theatrical treatment this time, including the script, and there was no need for any physics between the two male actors. Nice experience 8888
Gentle NuNew is such a "little" boy, this time in a different time playing in a pair with Zee, I just didn't trust him with the knife, otherwise very solid, lately I like stories going back in time and Kraiphop .... ? Yum.
