Every now and then among all the hundreds of BL series, there comes a gem like this. The editing may not have been perfect, but the actors were brilliant.
The rating indicates that most people like this series, so I'm probably in a small minority. I tried to like it, but I just can't, and it's Takashi who makes this unpleasant. I wonder if his character is intended to be this arrogant and dishonest, or if the actor isn't able to display any honest feelings. I also don't like the ghosts of the past appearing without a warning in the 5th of 6 short episodes. I would have preferred to see more of the "assistant sub plot" which would have been enough drama.
I've seen Elijah Canlas in many roles - from "Gameboys" to "Senior High", "Blue Room" "About Us But Not About Us", "How To Die Young In Manila", the amazing "Kalel, 15" and now this one, and I wonder if there's anything he can't play. What an extraordinary talent he is!
The first episode was awful - the story boring, and what the boys are doing can't be called "acting". I'm not willing to watch Thai series like "Lady Boy Friends" or this one any more. Dropped.
21 minutes 24 seconds: that's too much for me! I don't want to put myself through such torture! I'm stopping this…
I completely agree. I have dropped several Thai series, too. Fortunately, there are great series from Korea, Japan and Taiwan, and I'm also a fan of series from Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar, which may not be perfect productions as film makers have small funds, but they are trying their best. I can recommend "Bagan Beginning", a beautiful series from Myanmar.
I rolled my eyes when I read "used to be lovers in high school" - the story's been told so many times. But the way they tell this story here is just amazing. There are so many surprising little moments that are proof of good writing, and the actors are absolutely up to it. Another Japanese BL show that I really love.
This kind of story has been told many times, so it is the execution that counts, and I think the first episode indicates that it will be worth to have this story told again. Both the young and the "older" actors are great, and so is the cinematography. IMO Japanese BLs are the best, and it looks like Japan is doing it again.
I think if they want to have still a audience they need to improve their english sub ! some sentence make no sense…
I watched The Petrh/Bas movie "Tell the World I Love You" yesterday with English subs even much worse. The pronouns were all wrong, and when Perth and Bas went on their way to China at the end, the AI subs said they were going to "porcelain". Looks like AI isn't all that intelligent.
This show had a good start, but after 4 episodes it has become boring. The leads have no chemistry, that girl is annoying, and the plot is all over the place. There have been so many brilliant Japanese BL series recently, but this one can't cope. Dropped.
The first half of the show made me think it might be one of my favourites of all times, but then it began to fizzle out. The final scene was a real bummer. That's a shame because I love Toki-kun.
There was a proposal scene? Somehow I missed that. And who's Fluke?
Fluke Teerapat already played a main role in the "My Bromance" movie alongside Fluke Natouch 10 years ago. He also played in "SOTUS" and some Wayufilm productions, but works as a screenwriter now most of the time. In the second episode of "Wish you Love" he played the guy who had his hair cut and later proposed to his girlfriend in the bar.
