Since we had the usual newyear's break I bingewatched this series without expecting much (""another school BL""), but... I had a blast! I laughed so much, had so much fun and smiled at all the cute interactions between both the leads and the friends! I'm in love with Tiw, his facial expressions are priceless and so is his humour! XD
Special kudos to Fourth who has the brightest smile ever and is giving a great performance.
Sidenote: best guys in tuxedo ever (I thought "Tuxedo the series" gave us the best ones, but, here we go!)
Final sidenote: ......jeez now I too will suffer week after week! T_T XD
Just finished episode 3 (after weeks of trying not to fall asleep) -- I'm really really REALLY trying to like this series since I was looking forward for more lesbian dramas, but... I'm not a huge fan of either actresses and I find them somehow awkwardly directed... plus, I feel Freen is too young for her role: she looks cool when she's all dressed up but she's not credible when she's acting strict and authoritarian.
Plus, the whole "at work" and "the boss attitude" thing is so naive: when they're talking about work issues I'm like: "seriously? is this an office or a playground?". maybe it's because I'm 35yo and running a company too, but I feel like the world they're trying to convey is just a fragile cardboard setting used as a plot device.
Mind me: I'm sticking to this series because I'm les too and I believe we need many more GLs stories/characters... maybe with this one it's just (for me, obviously) a slow start, filled with clichèes, and it will become better episode after episode. Fingers crossed.
1-- Can someone explain to me why these two keep on being shy over a forehead kiss, while they already had sex almost everywhere and they are supposedly sex-friends by months now?
2-- Ohm was amazingly beautiful in this episode, but still: Boun is too stunning to be legal.
3-- Please, someone teach the makeup artists how to use makeup... poor Prince...
We either need S2 with focus on Alex&RJ, or a rewind button to remake this drama without all these couples. ^^' I really loved it and I loved each and every character, but why adding so many if we get nothing out of them except fanservice...
2am in the morning, finished the series and a box of kleenex. 10/10 for me. I'm heartbroken, but not sad - this wonderful series put together so many important themes through the parallel fairytale/reality, it was eye-opening and hit very deep episode after episode.
Yes, there are things that could have been better, but those are just small details that fall behind the very complex family drama that this series is. Exactly like the Petit Prince the meanings of all characters and threads are multiple and people of different age and experience will have contrasting opinions of this series: as for me (I'm part of the "older" community, 35yo), it was realistic and painful and yet reassuring... I really wish and pray each and everyone of us will someday find their own Tofu to learn how to survive the harshness of life.
I'm building up the courage to watch it due to the fact that each episode is an hour and a half long, but it looks…
Watch it! I'm bingewatching it now and I've almost finished it... it's taking me longer than many series because this one really needs dedication, it's so deep and heartfelt! It's probably one of the best dramas with a gay relationship I've ever seen. <3
Ep.7 in, and this drama is slowly taking the lead among the many (...too many... XD) I've seen. Job has an amazing range of emotions, Nut is such a difficult character to portray and yet he really manages to convey his complexity and pain.
Loving all characters: I would love to have great humans like Gen and Song as friends, especially Gen who's always there for Nut in such a reassuring, wholesome way. I also understand Nut's issues: it's obvious he lived a terrible childhood/adolescence without anyone to look to, yet he's trying to find his self-realization in work and trying to cope with a sick mother while having his own psychological problems too... Honestly I cry whenever he smiles: every human deserves to be blessed by happiness and thinking some people have to endure misery throughout all their life is just painful.
And positive note: we don't have "BLs characters" here but "gay people" with different backgrounds and different levels of openness.
I was postponing the binge-watching of this series for so long now, because I feel it needs a certain amount of dedication... and it's finally time. Just 2 episodes into it, and I love it. <3 There's so much more than the premise.
Tofu/In has the most beautiful smile in the world, I just can't help smiling too when he smiles! And kudos to Nut's mother, she did an amazing performance! I don't know why, but every time I watch her on screen she reminds me of Shibasaki Kou (even tho' it should be the other way around XD).
It's going to be a long, intense, delightful ride through the next 14 episodes.
This show is so heartbreaking it hurts... but still, we're walking through Mitchan's grieving process in such a vivid way, and Koichi's a gentle presence who's filling with kindness this elaboration of mourning. Somehow, the result is an aura of acceptance that I find heartwarming, even through all the pain.
Friendship in this series are gold: Win with Dean and Pruek, adding also Tul; Team with Pharm and Manow... but also A/B/C even tho' they're annoying as hell, and Tul/Wan... It's lovely to see these people bonding, sharing problems, listening, asking for advice... without someone on the top of a castle telling them "you're right you're wrong".
And again: Boun is the most beautiful human on earth.
Ok: we've seen better series, but honestly we've seen far worse ones. I was a bit shocked by the total mess and nonsense of the beginning, but I soon fell in love with both characters and with all the secondary cast too. Beautiful cinematography, stunning music, great chemistry - both the boys were always beautifully dressed (the makeup was a bit off sometimes tho') and with their own style.
Best thing: character growth. We started off with two assholes, and we ended with two adults in a love relationship (I loved how they spoke till sunrise in the last episode, yay for communication!), even though it's kinda hard to believe both would change so much in just two months of "lovelovelove". I would have preferred a less tamed Yai (he started off as a tiger and ended up as a cat), and I think Mangkorn was a bit too fragile by the end, but well... we'll see how 2nd season goes.... and yes, I can't wait for second season because I miss MosBank already <3
