Well, now I'm really eager to see the rest of this series......but there are no eng subs beyond ep. 3???
That's why I have stopped watching Star Image series before they are completed. You never know when subtitles are coming (same thing with Kaleidoscope World and Dandansoy), and sometimes series aren't completed properly at all. I don't understand why they are producing three series at the same time, when they just don't seem to have the capacity to do so.
I watched this for War, and he proves again he is a great actor, so it wasn't a complete waste of time. But the writing was the usual 'girl turns toxic, boys are unable to communicate and lack cojones, mothers want to have grandchildren' disappointing Thai BL tropes.
The plot is neither realistic nor logical, unintentionally comic sometimes, and some of the actors have no idea about acting. But the scenery is beautiful, the soundtrack is beautiful, and those boys are so very, very hot. So all in all, I'm okay with this series. Let's suppose they are learning by doing, so their next series may be better in the aspects where they fail in this one.
Although ep 6 again has some of the technical flaws, things seem to be improving slowly but surely. Call me shallow, but I can't help loving this series. Btw, Ivo looks sexy with glasses.
I can't believe that season 2 was written and directed by the same person as season 1. 'The best way to avoid disappointments is not to expect anything.' True, but after that precious little gem of season 1, I did expect something, and now I'm disappointed.
In the opening, I was amazed at how seamlessly the product placement was with the plot - I barely noticed it.…
True, the teacher isn't the most talented actor. But at least he's a talented singer. His version of the ost song is beautiful.
About the grandma: She probably manipulated hot boys when she was a hot young woman, and she's had decades to improve her skills. So true to life, that girl.
There seems to be controversy about Sky's father being a gang boss. The truth is, especially in impoverished,…
It's exactly the way you describe it. It's the way Mafia works who is respected by many poor people because they support them with a part of their money. If it was 'only' chicken fights and gambling, it may even be tolerated (although I think it shouldn't because it tells young people it doesn't make any difference how you make your money). But the more powerful gangs make their money with human trafficking, dealing hard drugs or weapons etc. Nothing romantic in this. When the boss is rich enough, he turns into an honorable citizen, starting e.g. a construction business. But he will never be able to leave his past behind, like in Golden Blood or H3: Trapped, and in real life as well.
I have always loved War, but I had my doubts about him playing a high school student again, and I would still like to see him in a more mature role. But he's really doing great! Fine actor indeed,
I love this series. The cast is great, all of them. I also like the contrast between the two couples, the shyness and hesitation of Jin Yu and Shi Lei vs the confidence and boldness of Yan Zhao and Si Qi. I don't want the show to finish in 2 weeks' time, and if it does, let season 2 start in 3 weeks.
I'm watching this for Johnrey, Carl, and OJ, and they were doing great. Can we have more scenes of Carl in front of a mirror, please? I was skeptical when all the guest actors were announced, and unfortunately I was right. Their acting was awful, like they had read their lines just a minute before they had to say them. Enzo especially was far behind his usual performance. And I'd rather not start ranting about that housemaid... The sound was sometimes worse than in a diy-series. But still, Johnrey, Carl, and OJ will keep me stick to it.
I’m relieved that I no longer have to scramble during the workday to watch this series. Puth Kaeng made no sense…
Congrats. You missed the most embarrassing part of the show, all the boys at a pool, one half saying, one after the other, 'I thank you for being by my side all the time,' and the other half saying, one after the other, 'I thank myself I have been at your side all the time'. I always missed the last 5 minutes of each episode as I had to work at 6pm, but today I was free. Unfortunately.
