It's a lighter episode 11 compared to episode 11-s of other Thai BLs. I get where Pi is coming from but I feel like if the story's main conflict is Mork and Duean not liking each other for a few episodes before calling a truce, this would make the series "stand out" conflict-wise. I feel like the insecurity issue might have been used in a few other series. Might need a couple of episodes for this to work though.
The development between MorkPi is a bit inconsistent. Some episodes I find Pi annoying, some episodes I find Mork too much (but Mork + those glasses is such a visual). Progression of their relationship is a bit messy (or maybe non-existing during the middle) but at least it started to pick up since last episode. A bit too late? Maybe.
To think they're the side couple, I feel like MeenDuean's a lot more well-written compared to MorkPi. The development of their relationship is quite evident as the episodes go by given their limited screentime. Best scene this episode: That MeenDuean dream sequence
They've been giving us snippets of the balloon scene for the past couple episodes. I wonder why they didn't put any on the second to the last?
I can't make any sense on the preview for next week's episode. Episode previews throughout the series have been good since you'll at least get an idea of what might happen on the following episode. This one's quite messy. While this may be taken as something good since you do not know what to expect on the final episode, I don't think this works for me. The preview did not give a finale feel but rather than an episode that bridges to the finale. Adding even a second of the balloon scene would have worked better since I feel like that would be the final scene of the series.
This was so gooood! I love how the stories of the different characters tie up because of the ring. And that ending was probably one of the cheesiest but satisfying ending ever! Can't keep myself smiling throughout that final scene.
This episode's extra funny! Neo really nailed his scenes here! I love the development of MeenDuean.
As for MorkPi, finally they're together! I'm okay with the hidden relationship arrangement but I kinda wished this happened a bit earlier in the series as those middle episodes were a mess. I can't stop smiling when Mork smiles. Pond is soooo appealing.
I really liked that the main conflict for both MorkPi and MeenDuean is that Mork and Duean seems to not like each other for now. I think it's quite different. No other people are involved.
I totally have no clue right now on what happens during the balloon scene now that the Kitty Gang's involved.
Strong start, messy middle, got back on its feet the past two episode. Hope the final two episodes won't disappoint!
This was a great watch! Episode 5 4/4 was so heavy. At first, I felt like 5 episodes is too short. But this was okay as they did not stretch the story for too long. I feel like it's enough to convey the message they want to tell the audience on responsible commenting whether online or offline. Storyline tied up really well.
Acting was great overall! Aye is definitely the standout here but Film, Ciize, and Sing surprised me the most. I've watched Ciize on Tonhon Chonlatee and Cause You're My Boy while Sing on He's Coming To Me. Both of their roles there were mostly supportive and funny friends but here they showed a different angle. I liked Film in 2gether and The Debut (this is a great series btw!) but her acting here really showed her potential even more as an actress. I feel for Toon even though what she did was wrong. New was also ok. I liked him since Dark Blue Kiss and I'm Tee Me Too
This was overall a quick, great watch with a social commentary relevant today.
Three episodes in and I don't feel the "oomph" or hook with this yet. Won't drop this though since I feel like it just has a slow start
Production's really good and Aaron and Hank are good actors. Taiwan BL series generally are great so I feel like this would get better as we go along the series.
Finally, one of the better episodes in a while. This episode captured the charm and potential given by the first few episodes. While the progression of MorkPi's a bit messy, their chemistry's really strong. I expected that Mork being the "Guy From the Nearby Faculty" would be a bigger conflict and I'm quite happy that this didn't happen.
I love MeenDuean! I really want more scenes of them. Meen is so precious and innocent which really complements Duean's street-smart personality.
Bam is so over-the-top and I love it. Can't stop laughing at the scene where she poured the whole container of drinks on herself. Mueang Nan's face when Pi gets all his cream puff preferences is so funny.
On next week's preview, I'm not sure if there's another reason on why MorkPi does not want to keep their relationship public aside from keeping themselves safe from the shippers/fanpages. But with this in mind, last week's scene of DueanPi balloon scene (if it's really Duean) might work? Since MorkPi's relationship is private, it's possible that only MeenDuean knows about this. On the first episode, I think it was mentioned that a Medicine student has a surprise so maybe Mork asked Duean to do the surprise on his behalf? Not sure how this would play out though since we haven't seen all 4 interact.
Hoping that the final few episodes will be good as well!
Is this really only 5 episodes? As much as I'm loving this series, the short episode count kind of makes sense since we're already getting closer to the reveal of what really happened. Loving this series for the thrill and the message but a lot of people may have trust issues with their closest friends after this lol
Hmm. I'm still not sure if this series is a mess or a meh at best.
I'm getting more interested on MeenDuean now rather than MorkPi. At least now, Duean seems to have realized Meen's effect on him and is slowly showing affection to Meen the "Duean way".
I'm also wondering if there will be a relationship (not sure what the right term for this is) between the 4. Like Duean already met Mork then Pi already met Meen.
What I didn't like the most was how the shippers were written. They were so annoying, especially the one with the blonde hair. Well, they might be trying to exaggerate the shipping culture but it's quite polarizing.
I also find it annoying that these two are credited as guest roles (i don't think they're even in the intro) but they're taking up too much screen time and roles in the series especially when compared to the supposed to be support characters of Kapook (role seems to have ended already) and maybe the Kitty Gang (AJ's really good but underutilized here), Jan, and Papang. If these two were credited as support characters, I won't find this a big deal.
This was soooo fun to watch! The ending's quite predictable but the journey towards that ending is so hilarious. Props to that amazing intro song as well. Definitely a good watch if you want something light and funny.
Episode 7 was waaay better than the past couple of episodes but part 4 was idk, weird? Nan already made it clear that Pi is just a friend but Pi is still chasing on Nan. Pi says that Mork is stubborn but he's quite stubborn as well.
Well, Mork might be stubborn as well since he continues to chase after Pi despite Pi not explicitly saying that he is interested in Mork. But I think the difference is maybe Mork can feel that Pi has a connection to Mork?
I don't really get Pi's decision based on Wan's word. I really hope he stops chasing on Nan already. I hope this would not drag on to the final few episodes since it might be a case of "Nan does not really like me so I'll settle for Mork since he makes me happy". I hope not.
I love Duean but I think he's too mean to Meen this episode. He's the one who lied to Meen but he turned it around to make himself the victim.
Episode 1 was soooo good! Hope this series won't go downhill. Theme is really important and relevant. Awesome cast and I really love New and Film the most. Plus the mystery aspect gets you hooked. Excited for the following episodes!
I don't think it's as bad as some comments made it out to be. I enjoyed watching this. Maybe it just did not have much of an impact or it did not make me attached to the characters?
One thing I might have missed out in is that why is Ray making Kane choose between his singing career and liking Kent? Does Kane have a contract that does not allow him to be in a relationship with a guy? Can't he be a successful singer even if he's in a relationship with Kent?
Other than, it's a short but ok series. A good watch if you're not in the mood to watch a full, lengthy series.
This has got to be one of the most satisfying and clean finales for me out of all the BL series I've watched. Everything really clicked and while the story was wrapped up quite well, there still is a potential for a continuation (ex. Xing Si and Yong Jie after YJ's graduation, Li Cheng and Mu Ren in their new home, etc.)
I do agree that this series had a rocky start so I understand the negative comments. But I'm so glad I did not drop this. The series progressed wonderfully and got better and better. Great acting. Chemistry's there. This is now my second most favorite HIStory series.
WTF this show was so dark and twisted! Every episode really had me on the edge of my seat. I found it really intense to the point that I need to watch something light and colorful after (I know it's just me). I do like the message it aims to convey regarding hatred. Love Puimek's character the most.
The last episode lacked the intensity the rest of the episodes had but this worked for me since it calmed me down. While I was soooo stressed out while watching this series, I didn't stop watching since it's really interesting.
Maybe I'm just dumb to see the plot holes but I really enjoyed watching this series. I like all 6 Blacklist members and found the Veggie Gang cute and useful. While I agree that the love angle did not advance the story, I find it a good breaker from the intensity of the main plot. I liked Bantad and Lila the most among the couples. Overall a great watch.
Ok so episode 4 to 6 just ain't doing it for me but it seems like this series will pick up the pace based on next week's episode preview. MorkPi and MeenDuean are both likely to really build up. It's the halfway mark so I hope this series can live up to the potential this series had on the first few episodes and to not continue going downhill. Lastly, I love Pond.
Binge-watched this series and it was soooo good! Love the story. Had the right amount of intensity. Top tier acting! But one thing they could have worked on further was developing the polyamorous relationship side as it's quite untapped yet.
