This type of show doesn't work for me because the gay romance/sex element plays second fiddle to whatever high-concept gimmick is being employed, which here is the brief time-travel thing. And because there is never enough production budget or expertise to make the surroundings and the gimmick feel first-rate, the love story suffers too.
At first I was impressed by the time-travel FX, but then we cut to the hospital where we were presented with two doctors far too young to be doing what they're doing, comical little screw-ups in the medical jargon and procedures, and a general lack of enough extras and technical advice to make the environment ring true. So it comes off as a sophomore, student film production and I start asking myself why go to all the trouble and expense of attempting a big-budget scenario when it just drags the love story down? Why not just present a first-rate gay love-story with the story as the central element? Get rid of the unconvincing, fake hospital stuff and focus on what we're here for.
I have big-budget, feature films when I want sci-fi concepts and big-budget FX and production. or even just a first-rate gay love story. But I'm here for a good BL and this is not that. It's an attempt to tell a big-budget story on a BL budget and ends up somewhere in the middle, failing at both. Incidentally, I was kind of hoping the elevator was a time machine.
In Thai productions like this, more often than not we get amateur-hour acting from characters such as the corporate dad and wife, the ER nurse, and the suicidal woman, all of which drag things down as well.
And inevitably, there are just silly oversights and bad writing such as...after experiencing what the Bible character did in the freeway tunnel and then reversing in time to before...why the hell would he get back IN the same car and proceed into the tunnel at a high rate of speed so the same thing could happen all over again? Were it me, I would have turned around and gone home or taken another route to campus. lol
So...dropping at 40 minutes. This is going to be another Thai NO for me. Meanwhile, those of you who like this, please enjoy your watch. I will be dropping back in now and then to see what the Mimicat Clique-Cult is up to in comments. :)
Hoo, boy...it has been a very long time since I've stumbled on to the same BL page as the Mimicat Clique Cult and all its venom. In truth, I had blissfully forgotten all about it, as I've not slipped upon its slime since the KinnPorsche page insanity.
If I find this show watchable, I'm going to have to strap myself in for a wild ride. I just looked up "toxic" in the MDL dictionary and the first definition was "Mimicat Clique Cult."
This is going to be entertaining! I may keep hate-watching even if I dislike the show, simply to visit the page and yell at people. :D
It's a long story, but Build was accused of domestic violence while in a relationship. The matter was settled…
You are so much nicer than me! lol This person has explained nothing in a way that makes sense. Mimi is part of the Psycho Thai Celeb/Fan/Media Suicide Machine. It doesn't have nearly as many kills as Korea's version but give it time, tpop and the Thai entertainment industry are still gearing up...

Prove it. It is disgusting how people casually make these accusations without offering any links to reliable sources, which means NONE of the tpop or BL online rags can be cited.

Maggi, the best way to understand this is as the Thai version of the Psycho Korean Celeb/Fan/Media Celebrity Suicide Machine. Any opportunity to attack, no matter how lame or peripheral, will be taken full advantage of. It's what they do for sport.

First of all, you have NO idea what actually went on among these people. What we read and see in the press is a small, distorted fraction of the whole story in almost ANY entertainment industry "scandal," something the media likes to whip up for clicks, views, and giggles.
Secondly, if the matter was settled in court WITHOUT a guilty ruling, then in Thailand the person is NOT guilty. Quit making stuff up.
Thirdly, regarding the accusation of telling someone they "should enjoy being raped," we also have no idea if that really happened. Just because someone says it did does not make it so, especially in the Asian entertainment press, where lies are told daily and online randos destroy celebrities for sport. Nor does his "apology" mean that he really said it. Asian celebrities, the ones who haven't committed suicide that is, long ago learned that sometimes the best PR strategy is to admit to something you did not do and issue an apology you do not mean, simply to get the issue behind them.
Fourthly, a lot of people, such as me, prefer to take other people's apologies at face value. If someone apologizes for something, especially an Asian celebrity accused of something they may or may not have done, we take them at their word, assume the best of them, and move on without judgement. Meanwhile, others choose to snarl "it doesn't make up for his actions."
What WOULD make up for his actions then? And why is it so important to you to judge others harshly for things you have no direct knowledge of?
Finally, am I to believe you have NEVER spoken ill of a friend or coworker in your entire life, even "behind their backs?" Never? Ever? Please. I wonder how many coworkers of Build have spoken ill of him "behind his back," but we simply don't know about it yet. And who cares? We're here supposedly to watch a BL, not issue moral rulings on the behavior of the people who made it.
What? I can't say it's the best 2024 series? It is for me I don't know what it has to do with u 🤔
The question is how can ANY series that hasn't finished its entire run reasonably be praised as the "best 2024 series," especially after just TWO episodes, and with FIVE months left in the year? All it takes is one really bad episode to erase the "best" label, and who knows what awesome series lie ahead in the next five months?
Sure, you can say anything you want here, but no one owes you an apology for responding to what they see as an unreasonable assertion by saying so.
What does it "have to do with u?" What it has to do with everyone on this board is that you posted the comment here. Comments are part of a two-way conversation between you and any other member if they choose to make it so. That's what comment threads are about.
What's torture are the 20-minute episodes that feel like they're a week long.
I'm good. I work for myself and when I choose to. Deal with it. I have stated repeatedly that I enjoy looking at the beauty that is Takara. I don't care what you think about that as a reason to watch, either.
lol Your skills of projection are amazing. "Takara falling hard 4 him..." lol
BTW, I'll be blocking you here shortly. No room in my mind or life for hateful Korean psycho fans who treat celebrities as though less than human. You are devoid of decency.

As I said above, just think of this weirdneess as the Thai version of the Kpop crazy in Korea. It's a blood sport.
