It wasn’t a bad series, but it could have been better. The story had an interesting premise, but for something marketed as a romance, it was missing the most crucial element: romance. The two lead actors did a great job individually, but there was something missing that made it hard to believe they were actually in love. Everything felt too restrained, too emotionless. There was only one scene that gave me a bit of hope, but it was fleeting. That said, I still enjoyed watching it. I really liked the parallel between the characters in the book Woo Jae was writing and his own story. It felt like a story within a story. I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like that before. It was interesting.

“Throw kindness around like confetti” is the most meaningful point from the movie. That said, I was drawn to the quirky and intriguing story, but with better development, it could’ve had so much more potential. The plot is pretty much non-existent, and the characters are introduced without any real depth or backstory. The romance feels dull and pointless, yet somehow the characters fall in love anyway. That said, surprisingly, the intimate scene is full of passion and sensuality. As for a horror movie, it’s shockingly boring. Using dim lighting to create a creepy atmosphere totally backfired, it just made the movie even more tedious. The performances are hard to judge, since the script was so weak. Honestly, the actors did the best they could with what they had.

Honestly, I found it hard to assess this series. Mark and Kit are such charming protagonists. They won me over right from the start with their vibrant and magnetic relationship. Their interactions were a lot of fun. I love the way they flirt and tease each other. Actor Kimmon Warodom brings to life a playful, captivating, and mischievous character. He shares electric chemistry with Copter Panuwat, whose character tries to resist Mark’s heartfelt displays of affection. Mark and Kit truly carry the series, and they’re by far my favorite couple.

Even though they’re not a couple, my second “favorite pair” has to be Jack and Koh. They’re the comedic relief that added a lighthearted touch to the series. Jack and Koh start out as rivals competing for Wayu’s affection. They’re constantly fighting, arguing, and sabotaging each other. They ended up developing a strange bond that could blossom into a romance, or at least, that’s what I was hoping for. Despite being secondary characters, they have the same charismatic vibe as Mark and Kit.

Pok and Tong, on the other hand, are like a train wreck you just can’t stop watching. Their storyline is chaotic and all over the place, yet somehow it’s still more captivating than all the Wayu/Thanu/Pha/Phai arc.

Pha was a character who showed up often, but I know next to nothing about him aside from the fact that he abandoned Wayu and asked Thanu to look after him.

Thanu and Phai’s love story seemed intriguing at first, despite all the randomness of the psychic visions of their future together. Even so, I wish this romance had been developed further.

Wayu and Thanu just didn’t manage to win me over. Their characters come across as dull and lifeless. I didn’t feel any spark during their scenes together.

I do recognize that the actors did a great job with what they were given, but honestly, the entire Wayu/Thanu/Pha/Phai arc had the potential to deliver a far more compelling story.

Despite all its flaws, I’d still give it a 9, thanks to Mark and Kit as well as Jack and Koh. They bring so much life to the show with their cheeky flirting and fun interactions.

It's a pretty confusing movie that could've delivered a more engaging story. At first glance, it seems like there are three separate storylines, but a twist at the end ties almost everything together and explains the movie's title. I enjoyed the first and third stories the most. The second one is just way too bizarre. The acting is a bit inconsistent, but considering the material they had, the cast did a decent job, and you can see the performances improve as the film progresses. Keep in mind, this is an older movie (12 years old) and was likely made on a tight budget. Still, it was interesting to observe the evolution of the Thai BL production timeline. Intentional pun!

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this film to be so intense in just 30-something minutes. This is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking movie that touches on heavy themes and reflects a harsh truth about human behavior. It's shocking how cruel people can be, simply for the sake of being cruel. Seeing such cruelty on screen is jarring, but sadly, it reflects the reality faced by so many people around the world who are bullied for being poor, black, overweight, gay, or even just for their nationality. I broke down during the scene where Li Yang is on the bleachers. The mother was absolutely incredible. It’s not a perfect film, but it resonated deeply with me. The ending really got to me. And that post-credit scene was truly heartbreaking, serving as a powerful reminder of how much we still need to grow as human beings.

Overall, I really liked the series. It's not a perfect drama, but it's definitely worth watching. It's a mix of romance and mystery that keeps you hooked, even though I suspected who the villain was from the start because of the subtle clues scattered throughout. The standout character? Without a doubt, Wen Peng. Actor Wang Tian Chen nailed his performance, especially in the final episodes.

The weak point of the series was the character Lu Yan. Sun Qian is a talented actress, but her role was overshadowed by Kira Shi and Jackie Li's performances as Yu Zheng and Tang Jie. Lu Yan felt lifeless, even in moments where she tried to show some emotion. Maybe that's why the romance between Jiang Cheng Yi and Lu Yan came off as lukewarm. I personally preferred the relationships between Yu Zheng and Yu Bo Feng, as well as Da Zhong and Tang Jie. Yu Zheng and Yu Bo Feng, in my opinion, should've been the main couple. The chemistry between those two actors was outstanding, and their story was far more compelling.

As for Da Zhong and Tang Jie, they were the sweetest couple. I loved their dynamic, the respect and affection between them. And the OST? Absolutely beautiful!

É outra miniminisérie romântica, rápida, leve e fofa, mas com uma premissa simples, sem muita profundidade e conteúdo substancial. Como Love on Lo e The love of Winter são protagonizadas pelo mesmo artista, Golf Witchayapong Krungsrimuang, mas com parceiros diferentes, fiquei me perguntando se era estas duas miniminisérie eram para promover Golf. 🤔 Desta vez, a série é filmada em um cenário campestre espetacular, com paisagens muito bonitas. É outra série ideal para quando você quer assistir algo curto e sem muito melodrama para relaxar. Os protagonistas fizeram um trabalho decente. E também merecia mais alguns episódios.

A série parecia inicialmente interessante, um romance fofo sobre dois estudantes universitários: o garoto popular, que é super exigente para comer e o garoto tímido, estudante de culinária que usa a comida para conquistá-lo. Mas depois dos primeiros capítulos, a série meio que perdeu seu encanto e o rumo. Gosto de histórias fofas, romances açucarados, cheios de clichés. Nada disso realmente me incomoda, MAS se é um romance é preciso paixão, emoção, principalmente entre o casal principal. E não estou falando de cenas NC, beijos avassaladores, nada disso. Faltou faísca entre Ram e LukChup, qualquer coisa que sugerisse que eles estavam atraídos um pelo outo. Em nenhum momento senti que eles estivessem realmente apaixonados. Talvez a série deveria ter sido sobre o romance de Paitong e Sky. 🤔 Mas o que realmente complica é que, de repente, a série deixa de ser uma história fofa e doce para se tornar quase um filme de terror! 😱 O foco da história deixa de ser o "romance fofo" entre Pram e LukChup e se volta para Nanming, desperdiçando tempo com uma personagem extremamente cruel, criminosa e desnecessária. Mas como nem sempre tudo está perdido, meus personagens favoritos foram Paitong e Pangchie, que parecem ser a luz da razão em uma série com um roteiro tão confuso. A série poderia ter sido realmente boa, mas preferiu desperdiçar tempo com dramas desnecessários.

Nossa origem não determina o tipo de pessoa que somos, mas a verdadeira felicidade só é possível quando aprendemos a nos amar.

É uma história incrivelmente doce sobre o encontro de duas pessoas que teriam a mínima possibilidade de estar em um relacionamento e que se torna uma linda história de amor. O que mais gostei nessa série foi a simplicidade com que ela retrata a vida real e sua linda mensagem. Mork e Tawan estão passando por um momento difícil quando Tawan contrata Mork como seu mototaxista e eles inicial uma amizade improvável, tornando-se o sistema de apoio um do outro. Amei como Mork questiona sua sexualidade e aceita seus sentimentos por Tawan sem se sentir envergonhado por estar apaixonado por um homem e sem todo aquele drama que vemos em muitas séries quando isso acontece. A química entre Fame e Fluke é naturalmente encantadora. Mork e Tawan parecem realmente feitos um para o outro.

Não posso deixar de mencionar os casais e personagens secundários que realmente deram vida à série:

1. Os amigos de Mork: OMG! Eles são divertidos, atenciosos, amáveis e descomplicados. São os melhores amigos que alguém poderia desejar.

2. Boss e Toy: Toy é arrogante e encrenqueiro. Boss é um nerd com uma personalidade extremamente rigorosa. Amo um enemy to lovers e esse merecia um pouco mais de tempo de tela. Talvez menos Tawan & Por e mais Boss & Toy. Gostei de como os personagens amadureceram emocionalmente e saíram da sua zona de conforto para entender o outro.

3. Nadia e Mayom: Nadia é talvez a personagem que menos gostei. Ela está o tempo todo reclamando que não encontra um homem decente para amar e quando encontra, inicialmente o rejeita. Fiquei com a impressão de que ela não quer namorar Mayom porque ele é um simples barista e depois só aceitou namorá-lo quando descobriu que ele é famoso. Mayom é definitivamente muita areia para o caminhãozinho dela e ele merecia alguém melhor.

4. Cheep e Dej: acho que eles são a melhor representação de um casal de homens gays de meia-idade em um relacionamento amoroso estável. Eles implicam o tempo todo um com o outro, mas são nos pequenos gestos que você percebe o quanto eles se amam e se respeitam. Eles são sem dúvida os responsáveis por Mork aceitar sua sexualidade e seus sentimentos por Tawan. Gostei da maneira sutil como eles transmitiram lições de vida importantes para Mork sem nunca se imporem. São meus personagens secundários favoritos.

PS: As covinhas do Fluke 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
