Thank You Nyx

Honestly...

This was the first time I saw Boss play such a hopeless simp, and I'll be honest, I'm not really used to it. In my eyes, he'll always be P'Phayu. 😂

I'll be honest again, though... a lot of the scenes felt pretty cringe. I kept defending it by telling myself that maybe they intentionally wanted it to be that way. The story was very simple and didn't have much depth.

That said, I did enjoy the cast since most of them were new to me. My only issue was that the other three couples didn't get proper closure. I really wish they had been given satisfying endings too.

Honestly, I don't have much else to say. I finished the series because I love BN.

Armageddon???

It was okay. Just okay. Meh.

I mean, there's nothing new about the story. A dying bad boy falls in love with the introverted nerd in class. He'll do anything for the one he loves. Then we have the older brother, who was cast out by his homophobic father because he's gay... only for the father to turn out to be gay too. And of course, we get the dramatic sacrifice at the end where one chooses to stay away just to save the other.

See? It's fine, but nothing new. Nothing that made me go, "Wow."

Now, the ending... what exactly were they trying to give us? An open ending? Honestly, I'd rather they both died because of that comet. 😂

Speaking of which... what was the point of the comet? One moment we're dealing with terminal cancer. Then we're dealing with a homophobic father, which is already a familiar plot. Then suddenly... a comet? Are we in Armageddon now? 😭

And lastly... I have to ask.

What was the thought process behind that opening sequence? You know, the one where they're standing against a black background while it's raining, dramatically reciting quotes? I was so confused. 😂

Very cliché but i love petty angst

This series is lowkey giving Jinx in its first episode, just with a different sport. But after that, you'll realize it's actually very different from Jinx.
Honestly, there's not that much special about the storyline, but I'll be honest... I got hooked. Hahahaha. Why? Because the story is cliché, but it's giving the classic Wattpad stories we read 15 years ago. The angst is cliché too, but sorry, that's exactly the kind of angst I'm weak for. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
The second thing I like is that the main lead took a long time to forgive the other. Yes! Let him suffer! Let him yearn!
I didn't like the ending, though. They could've given us more.
So overall, I wouldn't really say this is a great series. It just happens that I'm weak for this kind of angst. Hahahaha.

Untamed???

Starting with the cinematography... who handled this series? They deserve to be hired for every GMMTV series because it was absolutely stunning. Every shot looked so well thought out and cinematic.

The story was good too. I won't say it's completely new since it shares some similarities with other fantasy series I've watched, but they executed it really well. I also like how they mixed fantasy with political issues, which made the story feel even more relevant.

One thing that made this series work so well is the casting. This is where I realized I really can't act because I would probably be laughing through most of these scenes. Everyone did an amazing job. As for Sky and Nani, I already expected great performances because I know they can act. And of course, Nani absolutely nailed the action scenes.

One thing I couldn't stop noticing though... why does the ending of Wu remind me so much of The Untamed? Even the OST gives off a similar feeling. Is this becoming the trend for bromance series? 😂
