When watching this, people should take into account that it's set in a remote rural village, so it's not a polished production set in urban locations. Accordingly, the music track is simple, featuring traditional instruments and melodies derived from Thai folk music. There are no sound effects, and none of the actors are well-known. It's a little rough round the edges, so to speak, but combined, all this just adds a certain charm to the production. All the actors are doing a good job. As for Loy and Kaew, a lovely looking pair who seem perfect for each other, one moment fighting, the next kissing passionately, which is really a feature of how close they are, all the while realising they know they have to keep their love a deep secret in a village where eveyone knows everyone else, it is very traditional and conservative, and where there are so many interpersonal relationships to contend with. We're now half way through the series and there is still much that will happen. Interestingly, there is no negativity in the YouTube comments that I find here. I think people should calm down and give it a go. It will be worth it, in the end.
The two leads are undeniably attractive but apart from that, the series doesn't have much going for it. There's barely a storyline, nothing much happens and it's a little repetitive.
The rapport and timing with Phi and Tam are first-rate, a mixture of harmony and bickering that carries the action, which is underlined perfectly with a music score that reflects every moment with precision. The story didn't move much but gosh, it was entertaining.
I thought Ep. 3 was an improvement on previous episodes. There are so many goodlooking boys and they sort of look rather similar, as if they were processed from the same facility. Nu does stand out though, with his sterner features. His rejection and criticisms of Sun didn't last long and soon crumbled. Sun turned out to be rather sweet and romantic and his heartfelt confession quickly led to Nu becoming his boyfriend. Where this leaves Chain, I'm not sure. Besides this storyline there is a completely separate one taking place in a high school that so far is completely unrelated, nor are any romances in the offing here. We'll just have to wait and see if that changes and if somehow the university and school plot lines converge.
Definitely one of the better BL vampire series. Joss and Gawin as Mark and Tong were marvellous, their love convincing and all consuming. There's a lot going for this and credit is due to all those concerned in its production.
Yes, Mon's mom is one of those women who like to exert their authority and control on people within her sphere of influence, be it her son or a teacher at his school. Having got her way and curtailed the trip to Pattaya, once home, he stormed upstairs to his bedroom without saying a single word to his mom, then after he'd cooled down, the inevitable confrontation occurred, but Mon used his wit and intelligence to counter his mother's arguments. Importantly, she is not against Kim being Mon's boyfriend, she is concerned he will be distraction to his studies, but Mon assuaged those concerns.
That was sweet. A little carried away at times, because the writer is female and isn't aware that boys only choke…
I'm pretty sure Per and Tar are just close friends and will not develop any romantic feelings towards each other. Having the other two pairs as boyfriends is sufficient.
I'm wondering if anyone has compiled the original series and all the additional episodes into a single video or knows if it will be done in the near future.
I loved the interaction between TK and Victor in Ep 2. It actually felt like I was watching two real people navigating…
I think you're referring to a four part mini series called 'Infidelity, It’s a Disease' where what you're saying was mentioned in a review. Not having a script but just a storyline did work there, but it would only work in a simple romcom, and then only with talented actors who have a good rapport with each other.
The story is a bit confusing which I put down to the editing. Being set in a tiny rural village, where everybody knows everybody else, is ripe for pettiness and bad behaviour. I'm also getting tired of guys punching each other for little reason, not just here but also in other shows. It seems to be a constant feature in Thai dramas. Why they have to resort to this so quickly is not good at all.
What to say about Willy. He's attractive bordering on cute, a super race car driver, a dynamic boxer... and though his persona is friendly, there's an underlying element of danger in his sex appeal, how he tries to get physically close to Babe to the point he can say he smells nice, but what's his end game? He knows Babe's relationship with Charlie is rock solid and that Charlie is incredibly possessive. Perhaps it's just a game. He doesn't seem to take anything that seriously - always smiling and lighthearted. The guy is an enigma.
Throughout the episode, Thun was looking at Keen with tenderness. From the time they were locked up together, both of them were going over what had occurred and apologising/conceding various matters, so when Keen caught Thun smiling and wanting to see him smile properly, Thun could control himself no longer and planted a kiss on Keen's lips. Keen subconsciously was probably waiting for something like this due to the number of times they'd fallen on top of each other and lingered with their faces almost touching. Something clicked with Keen and he responded with a kiss back, then it was no holds barred — passion plus.
We are at the point where Xiao Bai and Da Hei are fighting to stay together as a couple. In this ensuing battle, I think Xiao Bai's grandpa won't be a match for Da Hei's grandma, who will manage to persuade him to let the boys be together.
There is no doubt this is very good and that Krist and Singto, both accustomed to working together, are at the top of their game. What's also amazing is how little their looks have changed - neither seemed to have aged at all, but that's typical with many Thai actors. Maybe it's something in the water that keeps everyone looking so young. No longer in the world of academia, here they are in the cutthroat world of news broadcasting and the setup looks most promising. Should be quite a wild ride.
With all the twists and turns of the plot, it is not helped by having subtitles that one has to interpret to make sense of them. I mean, GMMTV usually has perfect English subtitles (the shows that play on YouTube; this isn't one of them) but for some reason, those here are anything but perfect.
Being the penultimate episode, things of course are at their most dire. One moment, Tong and Mark are contemplating their future together while taking a bath, the next, Tong decides to sacrifice himself for Mark, which actually doesn't make sense. Mark and Nakan were clever enough to put Tong in another car just in case Tara decided to intercept them, which she did, then Tong went and spoiled that plan. They're going to have to come up with another one, though how Tong and Mark come out safe in the end with Nakan still around, if he's not killed somehow, will be a feat of the writers' imagination.
So the bare bum washing scene with Nan and Ton was Nan's erotic fantasy? That's what it appears to be. Ton was pestering Nan as to who he liked but he refused to answer and from all appearances, he likes Ton very much. However, Ton seems destined to have a relationship with Victor, the tourist.
With Ep. 3, they pulled out all the stops in a show of unequalled magnificence and splendour. The beauty and intricacy of the costumes are gorgeous, however, I think the buildings and interiors are probably CGI, just as most of those in Lord of the Rings were. The pace of the drama is slow and deliberate as befits a story in a regal setting such as this but momentum is never lacking, with numerous main characters and a huge cast of extras, all of whom fit their role perfectly. As Prince Khanin accepts his new status in the kingdom and becomes more confident, it is only natural that he wants Charin near him as he trusts him implicitly and they have become close, so to make it happen, he approached the King who made it so. This sets them up for their ongoing relationship. Next week is the ball scene where we see these two dancing together. How that comes to be will be most interesting.
