WTF? I really love trying to expand the world of BL and bringing in supernatural elements and radical acts of…
The first episode had a lot of logic problems already, I agree. One other thing I cannot understand is, why the government would close the bunkers so early.
The problem of these series is that they are BL. So they will function in BL ways. I rather would like to see a SciFi series with BL elements. We can see that in The Miracle of Teddy Bear. That was just NOT a BL series, it was a lakorn, so the writers made it lakorn.
Till the world ends is a BL, so they will focus on portrying the main leads way to find each other. They probably will even fight about their jealosy of ex-gf and stuff, when the moon already has dropped down and crushed half of the Earth.
That is a problem of Thai BL in general: I have the feeling they just cannot overcome the defiition of their genre. That is also why everything is going to be repetitive (wiping scenes, being drunk scenes, sickness scenes in general, evil ex-gf,....).
Anyhow. Though I write a bit critical, I am not saying this is bad. It is a bit of slow, though.
there was a glimpse of a photo on the fridge (or the wall .. can't remember for sure) that seemed to show them…
I also think they are brothers. Grandpa obviously does not like singers, so I guess Maipai is the black sheep of the family and that's why the photo is cut. But we do not know yet...
I don't understand why Gun is so reluctant to identify himself to Golf. I'm still in episode 4, does it get clear…
I also do not get it. I understand, Golf is his crush. But they've been communicating for more than ten years by now. Golf had sent his photo with the first letter. I would be angry if I did not get anything in return - within ten years... And now Gun starts lying. If this does not make all worse...
One thing I do not like with this series is the absoluteness of the title. Either there is the end of the world, and we will maybe see the main leads coming together, only to die in the end. Or, and I am sure, that this is the case here... There will not be the end of the world and humanity will survive (including our mains). Unfortunately, I am not convinced that Thai BL writers are creative enough to give us now a good reason why they will survive... (Aliens? Time travel? Just a dream? A series in the series?)...
I get that every BL is going to have a totally pointless wipe-down scene. But every episode? Last episode there…
I think they are lost. You are right, I watch now several series and the same scenes over and over again. I think they just do the filming now for marketing purposes, to fill as much time to present products and do ads. And the rest of the time is filled with non-content.
I am especially pi##ed, because this isn't the only series with endless repetitive stuff: Fahlanruk and Remember Me... Same scenes, same plots all over again.
Every week the same issues. Fight - reconciliation - flight. I feel like in "Reset", over and over again. This is episode 9 already and there is no development. The preview for next week? Well, fight again...
I would like a honest opinion- is the rating so bad because the show itself is really bad, or because of the 2…
Currently 6.4, that is still above average. The rate reflects the mixed views on this series.
I can only speak of my opinion: 1. The story does not rock me. In fact, I do not even understand what the story is. Two guys competing, who do not want to compete. 2. I have seen so many enemy-to-friend stories that I am just bored of this, especially in a university environment. 3. The superficiality. Endlos dialogues and/or monologues of who is handsome, the most handsome, who is not handsome, more handsome, less handsome... I mean, let alone rethink the fact that the MOST handsome of a faculty should represent it. I come from a country in which the best of a faculty (in terms of studying) would represent a uni/faculty. If s/he is photographic, that would be a bonus.
But also in terms of filming/acting...It is sometimes slow, sometimes too wooden, not to mention of the director's choice of cutting, lighting...
Oh, come on. Every BL is just a puzzle of mixed tropes. And the let's wipe him-trope is actually fun. It gives…
I totally feel you. I developed lately a love-hate of Thai BL. It is not only the recurring scenes, but the stories/plots in general. I am 46yo, you are 55. I think we often forget that most of these series do not only depict teens and twens, but are also written by them. Not sure how old most of the writers/ screen writers are. My Vietnamese friends writing VN BL series are mostly around 20-25ish. They might all have a big imagination, but not much life experience. And since they are often same-age, they live in the same generation with the same issues, which then impact what we see on screen.
I'm starting to think I should give up on BL. It's gotten to the point that I can't tell the difference between…
Oh, come on. Every BL is just a puzzle of mixed tropes. And the let's wipe him-trope is actually fun. It gives sometimes a free view on something nice, since they often have to take off the shirt. Okay, that failed here, twice. Not only the "he has fever" wiping, but also the "oh, I have a drop of sweat" wiping.
But, talking about silly tropes: The "we are strangers but must sleep in one bed" trope is hurting me even more. They actually managed doing it here better than in other series, where those super-rich kids pay for an apartment, which even would impress the Thai king, but do not have two beds...
I am only watching this, because it is over next week and I think there cannot be more harm done here. I am optimist, though.
You're telling me Sher wore a mask and nobody recognised him, and then suddenly he takes off the mask and everyone's…
Reminds me of those historic movies, with maskerades in France or Italy. I am always like wtf, you clearly can see who this is. I assume people pretend not to know...
