Still nice. Their chemistry is good and the filming okay. The tone was a bit weird in ep 5. However, it's going down a bit for me, because I cannot feel into the screenwriters ideas. What bs is this explanation in ep 5 for the 10 year gap? I hope they will work on that in the final 5 episodes.
My theory is that all three stories show the same couple. In the first story we see Ohm and Unknown Name Boy (I rewatched it twice, but his name is never shown up in the subs; you can see it in the mobile phone once but I cannot read Thai). The first story is how they get together. Then, after some time, we see story 2, which depicts Bas and Top. I guess these are the nicknames of Ohm and Unknown Boy (UB). They get attacked and we all think they die. But we never see that, actually.
I think, story 3 is them again. They both survived but "Daddy" is UB and Ohm is Top. Daddy is clearly not his dad. We see in one short scene that Ohm is bowing over Daddy and kissing him. Later we clearly understand that they ARE the couple from scene 1, i.e. Ohm and UB.
So, the question is, how scene 2 fits in. I think, as I said above, scene 2 is them being attacked and they survived it. After that they went to the resort place, bought it and Ohm is taking care of UB. He calls him Daddy there.
In scene 2 Top says "you killed Bas", because he is poisened. But we never see the outcome, in fact. It is open. It would make sense to explain what happened to UB from scene 1 to scene 3. Why does Ohm have to take care of him? He got poisened, survived but seems to be bedridden now.
All in all, a confusing film. Nice filming and scenery though. Acting is average, probably not much experience of the actors. I wonder if I watched a cut version and things are therefore missing...
I started tearing up within the first 3 minutes and was full-on sobbing at the end. Poignant, beautiful and heartbreakingly…
Ah, I watched a 25-min version. I actually came here because I had some questions, but it seems I have watched a cut version. Four minutes can be everything in a short movie. Haha. Thank you for the link
The "prequels" of this aren't really prequels, but project draughts of the series, kind of teasers for the series. They give background and a raw draught of the plot. As with teasers: The final series does not necessarily need to follow it. After having watched the "prequels" some weeks ago, I am a bit disappointed with the two episodes now. The teasers focused on the romantic side, while the reality is nearly slapstick-comedic. Anyhow, both mains are gorgeous, so I give it a go.
Maybe I am pervert, but the scene, when Paipa walked out of the emergency room. The close-up of his face...I think that was the most beautiful picture I have ever seen in a movie or series. I had some sinful thoughts.
Off-topic from above: I always thought that Khaotung is short. I remember him being not very tall in The Eclipse. Here, he seems to be quite tall. Strange.
Rated this 7.5, but I usually tend to be quite generous with stars. I assume the high rating here is due to PondPhuwin-Perth-Chimon fans. My major problem with this series is Phuwin. His performance did not convince me. He was doing wonderfully being in love, though in the first episodes even that was dry. But, somehow, he was misplaced as a billionnaire's son. There was not a second I actually believed he came from such a household. His performance in that was more a billionnaire's son who was accidentally exchanged and brought up by the toilet cleaner. Sorry. At least, in the final episode he gave all to satisfy the BL fans who want to see the kiss.
The low performance of Phuwin was not all due to his acting. He can act. He won't win an Oscar, yes, but at least he knows how to act in front of a cam. The story itself contributed a lot to this uncreative plot-setting. For instance, Thai is a status society. No way that a billionnaire's son is bullied openly in that way. Won't say, it does not happen, but not openly. It will be subtle. They portrayed him and his family as super-important. In Thailand, Nueng could literally have gone to school, killed his classmates and teachers, then return home and telling his mum: Please, call the Police President and the Minister of Justice for tea this afternoon. We have something to discuss, and prepare a bit of "coffee money". Nothing can harm people with money. That is even in the US the case, though not that profound. That made Nueng a doubtful character, while Palm was portrayed quite "realistic" if I can use this word here. Probably because the writers know and can imagine how a fisherman's world is like, but not how a billionnaire's is...
I think 7.5 is quite okay, a good good, so to say. Northing overwhelming, but also nothing too harsh. Not sure if I will rewatch it. There were no real valueable moments in this series. I rather wait for a Youtube cut of Perth/Chimon moments here...
I still have goosebumps after watching this. To be honest, it might not be that bad, we just do not understand Thai humor. A lot of Thai comedies I've watched were totally absurd. Same here in Vietnam. I cannot get into that.
I, sometime, wonder if it's not fan sub that they add... But some fan sub are better than theirs lol
The Thai title means something like Chains of the earth/ Earth chains (toranee can also be the name of the Earth Goddess). Not sure, where the heart comes from here...
Man, Boom is handsome. I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything before. What the hell is it with the black…
Boom played in La Cuisine, if you happend to have seen that? He was the one friend opposing Lukchup getting close to Ram. I actually liked him there, too, but he never really got more screen time and his character wasn't worked out.
I think, story 3 is them again. They both survived but "Daddy" is UB and Ohm is Top. Daddy is clearly not his dad. We see in one short scene that Ohm is bowing over Daddy and kissing him. Later we clearly understand that they ARE the couple from scene 1, i.e. Ohm and UB.

Not that bad, though.
