Whether time travel exists is irrelevant - this is no science documentary. Whether the plot is logical doesn't matter to me either, because when a series is about time travel it can't be all that logical. What matters here is the atmosphere and the emotions that are brilliantly painted. And of course Mix and most of all Tor's amazing acting. The last few episodes were just great.
The series is not that bad but definitely not everyone's cup of tea. What ruins it for me is just the over the…
I loved YimTutor in "Cutie Pie", but even more so in their Tiktok series "Our Winter" which was freaking cute. So I was looking forward to "Middleman's Love", but Jade's character is so OTT that it's painful watching. I'll give it one more chance next week, but if it goes on like this I'll drop it.
This is the perfect example of what's wrong about Thai BL series, well, at least many of them - true, there are some handsome boys, but there's no plot, but just some bored rich guys spending their time doing nothing, a writer who believes viewers all have alzheimer's so there are lots of flashbacks of scenes seen a few minutes before, and editing that thinks random shots of electric power lines make good transitions.
Like "180 Degrees", this series can't be compared to the usual Thai BL series. The writing ( as far as it can be judged after just 1 episode), the cinematography, the acting, and the music are near perfection. In some scenes I thought that it felt like the intellectual version of "A Gift to the People you Hate".
Atom is brilliant here, and I'm really excited for the 11 episodes that are still to come.
I'm very happy to see Guide here as one of the lead with Ohm but Ohm's performance was a bit muted. I hope that's…
Ohm's performance is always "a bit muted" - I know someone who calls him a "broomstick" (which I would never do...). As many commentators here, I'm watching this for Guide.
With all the terrible things piling up in this episode again, with Zeke's accident as the cherry on top, I must say I was touched by Hiro's acting. It felt like he carried the complete episode on his shoulder.
So it's over now, and I can't say I'll miss it. I like Kych who has proven in projects like the May-December-January movie that he is a first class actor, but he alone can't carry a series with a lousy script, annoying or stupid side characters like Charlie's dad or his best friend, and a partner who looks gorgeous and may be a nice guy, but who just can't act.
The MDL rating algorithm is a mystery. The overall rating of BL series is usually by 1 point lower than the average of the age groups. Here it's the other way round. The rating among those "currently watching" is 7.48, among those who "dropped it" 2,83, and among "verified users" 7.34. In all the age groups the rating is slightly over 7 - so how does all this add up to 8.6, which would mean it's one of the highest rated BL series ever?
I was happy when Beam was announced as a lead actor, because I like his acting, and I'm sad that his talent was wasted in mediocre series. After watching episode 1, I congratulate him that he isn't a part of this lifeless, faceless series. I'll watch episode 2 to see if it gets any better, and because Best/Willi is there whose scenes were the only parts of the show that were at least watchable.
