Refreshing and interesting

There is something so unbelievably refreshing about this series and I am loving it.

okay, to get it out of the way I have fallen in love with the two MCs Shogun and First. I cannot tell you why, but they just remind me of adorable little penguins that I want to keep in my pocket at all times. plus their chemistry is better than half of the shows I’ve seen lately. And I’m genuinely liking them on social media as well. They seem pretty genuine, and I adore that they’re also supporting other actors that don’t work for the same company as them. So they get points for being an overall outstanding supportive team player. But, no for real for some reason, they remind me of adorable little penguins that I can’t get enough of.

As for the series, so much has gone into this to make it a success. From the standpoint of the aerial performances alone, it’s pretty mind blowing, and you honestly, have to give them props for that. it’s also falls more into the fast paced timing which is nice since it’s cutting down on the unneeded filler scenes.

10/10 for the adorable little penguins

now that it’s over I still feel the same. this was a great refresher BL

love this change in dynamic

I loved this and thought it was adorable. I really enjoyed the change in dynamic for offgun where off was the one pursuing guns character. it's a nice change of pace.

this wasn't ever supposed to be a dramatic angst filled show. instead we got sweetness and some laugh out loud moments. I truly enjoyed this change in dynamic of OffGun. and the OST is chefs kiss. I think I listen to it a few times a week.

if you're looking for a low angst, light, fluffy, show give it a go l don't think you'd be disappointed.
also this was probably they most intense kissing these two have done

still adorable little penguins

this is not a traditional special episode so keep that in mind when going to watch this.

okay, so l'm a little biased because I truly love these characters and I feel like they brought a fresh new style to BL. when I heard there was a special episode I was over the moon.

I will say I LOVE that we got a different perspective of their love story told through Wela’s eyes. I enjoyed seeing things for Wela's side. to be honest, that actually made the story stronger in my opinion.

do I wish we got more new scenes? yes. yes I do. am I upset we got this kinda retelling? no not at all. this isn't a special episode in the sense of a traditional special episode, instead I feel like this made the overall plot of Deep Night stronger and kinda tied up SOME loose ends.

I will say reshowing all the NCs scenes made me chuckle. what can they say? they know their audience well. plus they pretty much made their own edit, so others don't have to 🤣🤣

I still wish we got more for the truple, it still feels like all the other side couples more or less got pushed aside.

that all being said I still really enjoyed this surprise special episode for what it is: which is the story of deep night told in Wela’s perspective.

I will still give huge props to the fact they learned all the aerial skills for this show. plus to me these two have the energy of two adorable little penguins that I want to keep in my pocket. I really hope we will see them in another series together. ❤️

overall pretty good.

I think the sign did a lot right. it’s hard to compare it to other BLs because it’s really on its own. Overall it’s a really good story and huge production.

I have to give it credit for taking on such a massive undertaking for what they set up. I would have liked the ending to be stronger. Tharn showing back up with not really a good explanation was frustrating. I think if they showed him being healed and that whole plot point it would have been stronger.

plus I would have loved to see the teams reaction to him coming back. I also want to know more about khem & thongthai- they had a wonderful set up in the series but were brushed aside at the end. same with chat. we could have gotten clear endings if the fleshed stuff out more.

overall it was a great series and I adored the chaotic mess that was Yai. his one liners had me rolling.

I’d definitely watch a season two if they made it.

it doesn’t end in an HEA

OK, so I’m all for realistic endings, and not not everything being happy roses but I really do come to the stories to escape life and although I think this was cinematically done really well and gave us a realistic ending it also felt almost like a slap in the face because his friend is a really bad person and she doesn’t get punished at all. The show just ends, and then his mom ships him off because she is also homophobic.

I think this has great potential if there would be a season two, and we would get more of an ending.

I didn’t see any of the reviews at first that said it didn’t have a happy ending so I went in thinking that we would get one so it’s my fault for not looking further into the series before starting it

But for anyone who likes their stories they have a happy ending. This does not have it, so I would not start it if you are someone like me.

that being said I love YinWar.

green flag!

I’m not really open to write a lot of reviews but I came to this way later than everyone else. I now see why people were said the pairing split up.

but I have to say the way Ae constantly checked in with Pete was such a refreshing experience. it reminded me of Win and Team from between us. Ae really was out here trying to protect Pete just because he was a good guy, no other motives.

I knwo a lot of people either like Perths new pairing or him with Saint and some won’t watch this because of that. seriously give this a go. I was surprised how much I ended up loving this.

I ended up loving this…

so I normally don’t write reviews… but I feel compelled to here. I actually watched this twice. the first time, I’d let all the hate this series got impact my thoughts on the overall show. but I found myself grabbing for it again recently and did a rewatch.

here is the thing, we already know we’re going to get some of the same stuff we do in other Thai BLs set in a school setting. let’s just move past that and tak about what this series did different that made it a solid show for me.

first, I don’t think they should have played up the bullying aspect because at its core this isn’t a bully series. and I think that’s where all the hate comes from. it was portrayed as a bully turned to lovers show, but in reality, that really wasn’t it.

we have a kid (Kang)desperate to be seen and accepted for who he is especially by his father. so he acts out.

and we have another kid (sailom) who is trying his best to deal with really shitty hands dealt to him and trying to find the good if at all possible.

actually when you pull back and think of it, they are both trying to deal with the shitty cards laid out for them. albeit one of them is way more privileged than the other.

when you take away the bully stuff you get two kids who want to be loved and who love with their whole heart. take Sailom after seeing Kang put the lock on Pim’s lock, despite his feelings he tried to help Kang be with Pim. he put aside his feelings so Kang could potentially find happiness since at this point it was clear Sailom could see Kang felt unloved and unseen so he tries to help. actually the whole show he tries to help encourage Kang.

the whole father thing and Sailom’s brother I thought was really interesting and really changed the dynamics of the show. we end up seeing Sailom isolate himself since he now truly believes he has no one in the world but himself.

was the chemistry messy at times? yeah. did I have to remind myself this was a new pairing and I can’t compare to Perths old pairing? yeah. did it have new elements you don’t seen in a lot of Thai BLs? yeah, in my opinion it did. did it also have a lot of the same old stuff? yeah to a point.

either way I think my rewatch was a lot better than my first go around since I’d let so many comments on this series sway what I thought.

I liked it. It wasn’t the same cookie cutter university thai BLs we normally get.

I’d say at least give it a chance to episode 4/5 and the decide if you want to keep going.
