Twists all the way to the end
I liked this a lot. If you prefer fluffy, this isn't for you. Not as spicy as BoC's KinnPorsche but it does have the ass slap heard round the world (Thanks,Ta). The only part that was hard to watch was the backstory of Non's disappearance. There was 1 episode where I had to just hope Barcode's character would kill them all in a later episode because the bullying was so bad? I liked the whole cast and it was nice to see some familiar faces again. We got to see how the characters changed over time. There were things woven into the story that led viewers down wring paths for solving what was happening. I know some viewers didn't like White dying because yes, he was totally innocent. But then life isn't always fair. A lot of twists and turns that you wouldn't be able to figure out on your own (e.g., the drugs) Even the last 10 minutes surprised me and I like that.Was this review helpful to you?

DFF Better Than Expected
Before I write this review, I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect much. I’ve watched THC and to be honest, some of their acting was so so but I gave DFF a try because the plot was so interesting and it’s better than expected! I judged the boys too soon because oh wow, their acting improved so much! Yes of course some scenes had lack of expression but it’s barely noticeable. This show makes you anxious since episode 1 and I’m only in episode 3 and it keeps getting better and better. It has so much suspense and build up! I’m excited to see what actually happened. Now on the editing side, let’s not forget to give credit to BOC and their amazing cinematography! If there’s one thing BOC is amazing at is definitely their editing, colour and cinematography skills. Everything was well shot and edited! Overall kudos to everyone involved!Was this review helpful to you?
Respectfully, how this series even get like 8.0 rating ???
Seriously, why are you guys giving this series like rating more than 5? are you guys ok?I honestly doesnt find a joy even a bit in the first episode, it was... a MESS.
Nonsense storyline, unrealistic story, meh acting. I was tried to watch this with no expectation. But yet I still dont get over how terrible this series is. I sense there would be very bad story in this series so I will just keep going to watch some interaction but, it didn't help...
Judge me because I only watch like 2 episodes but again it wasn't my fault either. Ep 1-2 was huge turn off to begin with. I guess my standart is way too high ??? Which is i think its good for me.

I really loved this unique series in thai industry
Why this rating is low?I don't f**** care about ratings.This is a revolution in thai industry.I don't really understand what to hate about this story.It's not a stereotype lovey dovey fluffy bl .It's not even focused on bl.But this show is definitely not everyone's cup of tea.If anyone into just bl they shouldn't watch this.I started liking it from the ep 1.This series carried many emotions of mine and obviously it was a rollercoaster of many theories.I didn't expect this much since it was bl and on the top thai.But it really exceeded my expectations.
At first I loved it for the perfect cast.But one after another I was really into story.And then the music got me.Every character portrayed perfectly . That's the prove from how mauch hate,love,admire, confusion they got from us.Speciallly Bracode and Mio.Barcode in only 19 but how he was into his character, really deserve enough appreciation.And for Mio ,it never felt like it's his first time or he is not a professional.Then comes my favourite Jjay and Fuaiz,they nailed it wonderfully.Ta was successful to show his character properly.Everyone did great despite being new or old.
The ending was really mind blowing.No need of season 2 or special episode.If anyone can't handle the ending I said before it's not everyone's cup of tea.
overall it's really a fine product that I needed.
I was totally into Dff.it deserve 10/10.but we all can see good things never get proper appreciation.

More Horror than BL but Fabulous!
To be sure, this series was far from perfect, but it so grabbed my attention from the beginning and never lost it. Of course, the story got a little wonky, way too unnecessarily complicated, and so deep into the weeds in detail that I thought I would love my mind trying to figure out who was doing what to whom. But overall, what a ride! This story is a classic story of haves against have-nots. The privileged against the disadvantaged. It is a story about a group of ‘friends’ who take advantage of one particular individual whose skills are something they lack but want. They bully, cajole, and manipulate him into thinking he could become one of ‘them’; but, of course, he never will. The ending is stunningly creative and unexpected and had a feel that we were watching a version of a Grand Guignol theater. Perhaps, that is why I loved it so much. This is well-crafted, remarkably well-acted, with a bit too much detail in places, exceptionally dark perhaps too much so, yet overall so fascinating, gripping and captivating. One of the best BLs for 2024 with a frightfully deep doleful story.If you want to read my full review, please go to BLBliss.com. I have other reviews there as well.

triedd
so thai bl acting has this thing yk where it's not good so this doesn't deviate. I got into bl almost 2 years now? and i think its really the only tv genre where people exuse i'm not sure for what. I watch ep 1 which wasn't bad this is defiently a mystry which I was intriguied about, I started ep 2 and understanding the dire of a sitution these boys were in I can't possibly exucse their acting if I love tv dramas as much as I do. Yes most bls have iffy acting sometimes it's noticable when cringy but you move on cause it doesn't hurt the plot. This was the opposite, I wanted to continue to see barcode cause I believe everyone when they say he steals the show but a show cannot be good with one good actor. I don't speak thai but i can't help but feel like i am being pissed on when people praise the show will i see shit on my screen. Also i felt they were dragging things and it's more admirable if a write can stretch a mystery but you don't have to be boredWas this review helpful to you?
About DFF
Wow this is really got me from the 1st episode. I'm so happy to see familiar faces that we used to love in KinnPorsche era.Anyways if we talk about this series it's a group of 8 friends went on a vacation in a mountain house in the middle of a forest and other tan the 8 friends there is another friend of them that only a few people know. It's supposed to be Jin's farewell party before he's going abroad to study but it turns out that they have to face many mysterious incidents which occurs by something or someone.
The story plot is very interesting and it's based on the thailand's mythological urban legend. About the actors overall I like their acting but still it need to be improved. Usnttr is doing a great job with his character I must say that. The music choices are great.
I'm still a little bit confused about what happened to Non ( Barcode) Anyways let's find out.
If you're searching for a horror bl based story then I think you should watch this. Overall I like it even it's the 1st episode still.
Let's see what's going to happen to this 8 friends.

It was meh for me. I would add this to my list of what I casually dropped.
I would add this to my list of what I casually dropped. Why ?***
Months before the series air, I was already excited and thrilled to watch from both the summary and the concept/trailers but when the episodes started being released, I didn't start watching it right away until there was enough episodes released to binge-watch instead of waiting to watch once a week.
So on this day, there are 9 episodes out of the 12 annoounced that are already out so I decided to watch it.
The first minutes were "interesting" (let's say the 5 first minutes) then they started to get into the plot what should be good right ? Well no, because first, the group of friends that from what I understood were supposed to know each other for some time now ( two years or plus) were just so awkward to each other, even side-eyeing some so I was like wtf. Then the acting and the way it was filmed felt really cheap. I'm sorry if I'm being ruthless but that's how I felt.
I would've loved to have the nerves to go further in this first episode and more generally, in the series but they didn't managed to got me hooked. I don't think I would even give it another chance later...
Just for those who want to know, I watched 17 minutes into the series.

Quête de vérité sanglante pour ce BL horrifique entraînant
Êtes-vous vraiment qui vous prétendez être ? Qu'est-ce qui se cache derrière ce masque ? C'est ce qu'explore DFF avec une bande de potes qui décide de passer un week-end dans les bois. Cependant, les choses ne tardent pas a tourner au vinaigre. DFF traite de sujets sensibles (harcèlement, manipulation, abus...) et contient également des scènes graphiques qui peuvent heurter les plus sensibles. Naturellement, il est déconseillé aux personnes qui n'aiment pas l'horreur.J'ai adoré cette histoire. Dès le début, DFF plante son décor et ses personnages. On fait rapidement la connaissance de chacun, tandis que les premiers problèmes surviennent. Bien sûr, certaines choses sont un peu tirées par les cheveux, mais je ne m'en suis pas soucié plus que de raison, simplement parce que tout est bien fait. J'adore le fait de reprendre les codes du slasher et d'utiliser le found footage (un style prisé dans l'horreur) pour créer une tension supplémentaire et surtout donner au téléspectateur une place dans l'action.
Le casting est excellent. Je ne vais pas m'attarder sur chacun d'eux (ce serait bien trop long), cependant, ils ont dépeint des personnages réalistes, dont purement détestables pour certains. C'est un groupe de potes et pourtant, je n'ai pas cessé de me demander pour ils l'étaient. C'est une dynamique étrange qui alimente la machine à questions et suppositions.
La romance (Tee & White) n'est pas qu'un accessoire avec un couple mignon qui fricotte. Elle possède un rôle dans l'histoire, tant sur son développement que sur nos propres réflexions qu'elle engendre. Voir ce couple adorable être malmené est terrible, mais cela devient que plus douloureux lorsque les masques finissent par tomber.
L'autre romance connaît un certain intérêt et est intéressante dans la façon (et la raison) dont elle se développe.
Si vous avez une appétence pour les films d'horreur, alors la fin ne vous surprendra pas. C'est une fin intéressante qui rappelle un bon film du genre. Après tout, peut-être que la légende de Janta est réelle. Peut-être qu'elle existe et qu'ils l'ignorent. Qui sait...
Cette suspension, cette réalité qui ne l'est peut-être pas, ce mystère quant au fait que tout soit terminé ou pas, c'est une fin que j'apprécie bien qu'elle ne soit pas au goût de tous (et c'est normal).
Si vous regardez DFF uniquement pour l'aspect BL, il ne vous plaira probablement pas. Il mérite bien plus que cette seule étiquette. Cela reviendrait au fait de cantonner KP à un simple BL mafieux ou 4 Minutes à un BL jouant avec des espaces temps. Encore une fois, je ne suis personne pour donner une leçon sur la façon de voir une histoire ou de l'apprécier, mais parfois, j'aimerais vraiment que les téléspectateurs qui aiment le BL voient plus loin. Cela permettrait à des productions comme celles mentionnées de perdurer et de motiver d'autres boîtes de production afin de fournir des scénarios nouveaux. Be On Cloud ne fait pas du BL pour du BL, et bon sang que c'est bon !
Bref, j'ai adoré chaque épisode de Dead Friend Forever. Tant pour la mise en scène et son ambiance que son scénario simple et bien amené avec cette pointe d'horreur. Le casting a fait un travail formidable, tandis que la musique a fini de sublimer le tout.

I find this series really good, I watched all the episodes available I can't wait for Sunday !!I'm quite sad for Non and Phi/Phee they were just too cute.. what made me sad was when Phee asked Non if they crossed the line with his teacher and he said no he was crying but the moment he saw the video broke my heart even if Non broke Phee's heart I want to know how come Jin and Phee will have a relationship I don't want them to be together understand me .. and WOW. Jin was the only one I liked in the group because he was nice to No but what? How could he take Non and the professor on video when they were just friends. He didn't have to get involved I was really disappointed. I HOPE NON IS NOT DEAD ANYWAY I have too much to say but I'll stop there lol GUYS WATCH THIS SERIE (I think it will be the best of 2024)
