If you're a Ming Kit / Kim Copter fan this is a must watch !Not only is the relationship way more mature but their chemistry is just SO GOOD!
I just loved their banter, hilarious and heartwarming dialog, and the script isn't bad but like 2M franchise the story was a bit simplistic and no real plot that was engaging, pretty predictable but it was stil fun watching.
Now about the other couples.
I was really hoping Wayu would end up in a poly relationship with Koh and Jack, they were both adorable and would have gone well with soft Bas XD which i kept screaming at the screen because seriously hes a soft baby ^^
As for Thanu, I just couldn't get into him. His acting was terrible so you couldn't connect to his character and even his makeup was all over the place. Plus, even witha not so great plot, Kim Cop and Bas made me involved because of their acting tbh. Plus at least the characters had a history, which wasn't the case with Thanu so I couldn't buy his relationship with Wayu.
Second, call me crazy but I actually preferred Thanu with Kits brother! Even though that UWMA esque soulmate back story was pretty silly there were times when I genuinely felt for Thanu and him.
I love Jack and Koh they were both adorable lol especially when Mark keeps making fun of them it was hilarious and i shipped them.
Another guy that I felt bad for - Padbok. There was so much subtext between him and Thanu, and him and Mark and even Kit. I felt bad for him when the script kept saying hes ugly and not good looking like Mark like WTF. you're okay with gay stuff but you have a totally decent looking guy calling him ugly.
So, yes I had fun and my Kim Cop craving was satisfied xD watchit for that reason alone.

The ml is so boring and meh the only interesting character was the wife who was cheating and of course it wasn't the main ship so no point for me. The fl character was so BORING and I didn't get connected to her story either.
For me it's not even a good mindless filler watch cause its boring despite the interesting plot.
I like cheating in lakorn its always fun and dramatic and this had the potential but the delivery fell flat.

I could watch Pure Folk for daayyyyyssss lolFiat his acting is so on point, his body language, the way he looks into Folks eyes - it just WORKS.
The acting in the show does get a bit overboard, overacting like the Mew Art story in WTD XD but honestly that didn't bother me then and it didn't bother me here. I can overlook these issues for a good plot and characterization.
But this one was just way too simplistic for me plot wise and even couple wise Pure Folk had waaaaay better kissing and just got me involved but the main couple were really lacking even though all the boys were really cute!
So, all in all not terrible but just okay.
And someone better be signing a petition somewhere for a Pure Folk spin off XD

Perfection in Darkness
You know how I love inappropriate gross shit lol bruh even I got severely affected by some of the disturbing material. And just because a film is about sex and masochism doesn't make it porn. That said I completely freaking loved the uninhibited, twisted plot and the acting in most parts was so good it feels SO REAL because its RAW. seriously wtf is Gun even doing here XD but he did a good job too. And the ending was so organically bittersweet, all that good nihilist stuff ! If you don't get triggered you should watch. In general I love adult and horror Thai stuff, like Meatgrinder, shutter, blue hour, they always feel timeless and surreal. I just love that touch.Was this review helpful to you?

I'm wavering between 6 and 7 for this one but ill just stick to 7. Because while I enjoyed it its no good for a rewatch for me. Mainly because there was something about the fl that I had to really push myself to keep going. But what I loved was their cute and bickering romance and lets face it Mik looks sexy. The second couple was good too i enjoyed their story and that one death really made me sad. So, yes it has its moments for sure but just a one watch thing for me. Also generally I just wasn't too keen on the idea of falling for your ex s lookalike. Like it just doesn't feel like true love, just my opinion. So, its not bad and pretty enjoyable.

Great family drama and bromance
Just loved this lakorn so much! And okay the male leads were both SO FREAKING GORGEOUS AND ONLY KEPT GETTING BETTER LOL buuut as far as I'm concerned I love the plot and the crime aspect and most of all the love hate bromance omg sooo mucccch feels !And sure you can argue that this isn't perfect when it comes to technical greatness but it's not shoddy either. Especially the fights and the action is done so well! But the thing that completely blew me was Pons acting okay.
He's so expressive! His dialog delivery, everything is on point. And also this show gave me another sls XD but at least they didn't completely destroy his character like most asian shows of this type, and they didn't completely make him evil.
And now, the problem I have.
The females lead okay I've seen worse acting so that didn't bug me. What did bug me, was her manipulative nature! Exhibit A - She's romantically involved with Santhrakat but she goes to KHIREE when she wants to get married!!!
Exhibit B - she's MAJORLY ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED WITH SANTHRA FKING KAT BUT SHE KISSES KHIREE - ON THE LIPS FULL ON - JUST TO KEEP HIM AROUND BECAUSE HER AND HER STUPID ASS MOM WHO BTW COULDN'T STAND KHIREE WHEN HE WAS POOR - let's face it her manipulative ways were what got Khiree in trouble in the first place! If she hadn't made him a target for the step father, her step father wouldn't have wanted to ruin the boy's life!
Second MAJOR THING THAT BUGGED ME TILL THE END - Why the hell didn't Khiree even ONCE tell people what really happened that night! This whole miscommunication bs was so pointless. It would have been ok if he'd done it for like a month or even two episodes but anything more was just so frustrating! Because how can anyone including his brother TRULY understand what that man did to him? They kept saying it was Khiree's fault and he NEVER ONCE corrected anyone that he didn't turn up at the wedding because he was being kidnapped and tortured!
Anyway those are all minor gripes and none of this changed my overall enjoyment of the show. Especially when they as a family kill the villain - was that cathartic af lol
So yes. Anyone has recs like this one please tell me XD

From the first frame I was sucked in and couldn't get up till I finished watching. The cinematography is excellent and every scene invokes a distinct, raw feeling inside you as you get deeper into the rabbit hole of poverty and start rooting for this odd family - your first mistake because that's what will break your heart. I know a lot of people compare this with Parasite and sure while the whole poor and strange family unit is there but Parasite is very absurdist and bleak through and through while for the most part Shoplifters is genuinely upbeat providing you with a false sense of security until the rug gets pulled out from under your feet. Because you keep learning more about the characters right down to the last frame. So the sadness you feel in Parasite is also of an existential depressing nature where in Shoplifters its the sadness of loss and grief that feels personal. Was this review helpful to you?
After being bored for five eps finally things got interesting in ep 6 and the finale was actually pretty good. My problem is that this should have been a dark sexy romantic suspense but is just average in every way and got boring for me for the most part so even though the actors were convincing, I felt SO BORED. The prime reason for that being you watch slap and kiss or romantic suspense to watch the couple's interaction, not their separate interaction with the five year old whose voice was terribly dubbed by a female lol or Jun kai s interaction with his sister! I mean this was 15 mins eps they shouldn't have added all that boring ass crap. So, in the end it didn't really do anything for me.

The make up was so terrible, and the childishness of the plot and characters can only be summed up as an epic fail. The only character that was a little fleshed out was Jang ki yong's but the others were all so one dimensional.
I couldn't feel a thing when they were sad or crying. And again I did get emotional for Jang ki yong because at least his character was a bit relatable. Other than that everyone else seemed so superficial.
The direction at times was good and other times something so cringey would happen. Childish, immature script. Just a big fat failure. I'm done.

Miyazawa Hio is GORGEOUS XD sigh. Now then. Sometimes you just need a soft baby girl to remind you, that the things that 'sound ugly ' or 'strange' are just in our heads. When people look at gay people as though they're 'ugly' its just their own ugliness they reveal.And how the biggest problem we all have is that when we lie to others, we're really just lying to ourselves. I'm not gay. I dont love you. Every time we do this, we're just making things worse. Because no lie stays hidden forever and no closet is comfortable enough to hide your gay ass for the rest of your life.
That cheating double life will destroy you and everyone around you.
And I just love how fresh that little girl's perspective was, it was like fudge, why didn't I think of that lol I missed her when the movie ended.
But so why not a full ten stars?
Here's the reason.
There was just way too much of courtroom drama, it just didn't suit the tone of the movie that they set. I would have been fine if it was just a few scenes, instead of being the entire second half of the film! It kills the closeness they were showing in the first half, I don't know it just felt wrong. Felt like that lack of bonding in the second half just didn't work.

The show is about Iron Triangle. So you'd hope that Qi Ling would at least appear as much as some supporting character AT THE LEAST - let alone giving him the actual deserved screen time.
The second Yangyangs Qi Ling disappears, you watch season after season, episode after episode, spin off after another spin off, only to get to Reboot (Reunion) and have him still pretty much either so far in the background, or just simply gone.
And okay, I loved Baron Chens romance with the mute girl, it was genuine, had everything in the right amount even though in the end even that didn't go anywhere.
And then you think omg Yi long is the perfect older, mature Wu Xie, so please give me SOMETHING WITHMY OTP I'm not asking for much, but they could have done something along the lines of Untamed or Guardian - I mean I thought I was going to leave confused considering Yilong and Bai yu are one of my top couples.
And in the beginning it looked like that was a possibility, because you guys know I'm extremely partial for Yangyang and for the first time the actor for me had the potential to be a close second to YY buuuut the poor boy never got a chance.
Because halfway through they got into some bullshit office romance - which they probably thought was a clever Warehouse 11 storyline, but seriously the only clever aspect was how much money they saved on the production that went from badass, dangerous, and rather narrow escapes, showing the Uncle and Baron Chen, and the rest like a family - however screwed up it might be, you were still rooting for them.
And then someone gets the great idea that screw tomb raiding, and badass action, or even focusing on the fact that his uncle was being so nonchalant about the cancer news, like WTF.
And then they took my last bromance hope Pan Zi to some hetero storyline too, TWO SECONDS AFTER he confessed his love to Wu Xie lol most likely to give Wu Xie that completely contrived 'romance' which okay not going to lie I was shipping them during that one bonding scene where they lay down and 'watched the stars' XD but apart from that Wu Xie was being so wishy washy. It didn't seem sincere AT ALL not from his side anyway, not like Baron Chen was so into the chick and doesn't just go save her in some ending scene twist.
And omg that ending ugh are they still going to be in the warehouse lol I don't know if I can take the torture.
So, yes, for me it was fantastic till Wu Xie joins the warehouse and then it had it moments - Jia Le story, especially, or Kan Jians ADORABLENESS XD
Anyway, I loved the characters, actors, but I hope the story lines improve and I see more of Qi Ling and iron triangle ACTUALLY BEING TOGETHER AND BONDING TOGETHER instead of being apart and just talking about each other. I mean where is the pining, where's the eye fucking XDwhere's the WORRYING ABOUT THE GUY WHO HAS FREAKING CANCER.
Okay anyway, waiting for next part lol because I'm a sucker for pain.
