The Sign - A Hit or Miss BL Series
I saw The Sign as a must recommended BL Series from the TikTok application. They said that it is good and underrated that is why I decided to watch it. This review will be based only on my personal opinion and what I thought of while I am watching this series.
First of all, I love that The Sign is not the usual genre of BL Series wherein we always see the story in a school or office settings. The Sign's settings occur in a military or police based job, which depicts the life of a mature characters. A genre that is new to the eyes and taste of the viewers.
The Sign is all about Tharn, a person who can see "visions" about people around him, especially of Phaya. The story started with them training to become part of a special unit of the police. During their training, Tharn always saves Phaya whenever he see dangerous visions about him. They have a group, there are 5 of them. The other 3 are Khem, Thongthai, and Yai. Their bond started because of a case about a lieutenant who mysteriously suicide in their campsite.
Because of their natural bond and the way they trained together, the five of them are the ones who passed for the special unit of the police. Fast forward, they got in that special unit and they worked together on different cases.
After getting in, they decided to drink as a celebration. When Tharn got drunk, Phaya insisted of bringing him home. When they are outside, a car stopped in front of the building. A Doctor named "Chalothon" went out of the car and got Tharn. He introduced himself as a brother of Tharn.
The story revolved around the group working under the special unit of the police and the past of Tharn, Phaya, and Chalothon.
To those who did not watch yet the series, you might have a hard time depicting what is happening because of how many things are happening in one episode. To be honest, I felt like there are scenes that are not necessary, so should be excluded. But I will explain the things that you must be reminded of before watch. Also those who cannot understand what is happening while they are watching.
1. Remember that they are working under a special unit and they are police, so this series has different cases that the characters need to work on, so you will see different cases that happens in either each of the episodes or a case which covers a few episodes.
2. As I said, The Sign, will also cover the past story of Tharn, Phaya, and Chalothon. Spoilers alert, Chalothon is in love with Tharn, but Tharn and Phaya is in love with each other. Since Tharn and Phaya are in a different kind, there has been a war between their kinds. Chalothon as a selfish being tried to kill Phaya in the past, but Tharn used his body as a shield for Phaya, but Chalothon's attack got them both which lead to their death. At the present, Chalothon still made a way to become Tharn's trusted bestfriend. He still tried to kill Phaya in order for Pharn to become his lover.
Characters and Cast
The casts are all good looking and all have great bodies, so it is a blessing to the eyes whenever they are topless or have NC scenes. All the actors gave their best in their respective roles. I don't agree with those viewers who says that there are no chemistry between Tharn and Phaya, because there is, and I love their acting so much.
I just hate how oblivious Tharn's character is, especially on that scene wherein Phaya already warned him about Chalothon's true nature, yet he got angry instead. Second, whenever there were serious moments, but there are characters who will suddenly say a joke. It irked me so much. And lastly, how fast the couples ammend whenever they are arguing or having a fight with each other, like there is no build-up from the arguing moment to become lovers again.
Editing
Can we also talk about how bad the editing of the supernatural scenes were? It is so bad, which disappointed me because of how much those supernatural scenes could bring out the best of the series, considering that the charm of this story is their past lives wherein they are mythical creatures.
In totality, I will not consider it as best, but it is good. There are so many improvements on the editing part that must be made. The sequence of events are also good. The ending was horrendous! The sequence for the Episode 12 is like an after thought of the screenwriters. Thankfully, there is a special episode.
