A pleasant experience

This time my review will be a bit longer, but those who know me and write to me many times on gaytitulky.info, where the series is translated into CZ, will surely forgive me.
This is one of those really good mystery series connected with the Thai branch of Buddhism, it surprised me because after the first episode I had no idea what would happen next, because the original described plot took place in the first episode and I didn't like the main characters either. Apparently, the same process took place inside me while watching, as with many viewers, because the increase in ratings from the first episodes to the end is not typical, it usually decreases (IMDb from 7.2 to 8.3 and MDL from 8.0 to 8.5) and I found my way to two the main performers and I started to like them a lot, both as characters and as actors. Well, if I look at San (Daou), how he looks at MDL in civilian clothes, maybe it's not him either, I don't want that! 🤣 I've gotten used to it and I love the look of the "old man" with old-fashioned clothes and short pants, the creators did a good job with that. Not to mention Ponda (Third), I already love this little girl from the 180 Degree series ... And even the great-great-granddaughter Ju was really great, one of the few "normal" female characters in BL projects, otherwise we mostly meet scumbags, extra bushes, or is the character scared, affected or annoying. All of them, including Ton and Tao, convinced me that in the end I gave the acting performances not a nine, which I originally thought, but a ten, despite the slightly grinning "rat" Rat. The overall concept, the story, the actors, the music, all of this completely prevailed in my assessment, and this is not affected even by the not completely 100% processing, which can be partially excused by the fact that the creators had to fit into a very limited budget (battles, shooting games and red marmalade or raspberry juice, treadmill, etc. and at the climax of the last episode we had to watch Tao brushing his teeth with superpaste). But what I can't forgive, and it shouldn't affect the budget, and many viewers will forgive even this under the overall impression, are the two Asian "falls" in the first part and in the last one, when Wat holds the stone in his pretty feminine fingers and in the close-up in the shot, it is held by a man's fingers (apparently this omitted scene was recorded by directors Wo and MI themselves), I thought they were going to limit me, I've already seen it in some other series, I'd kick someone from the crew for that, and I'm reducing it by two whole rating points for processing.

The Joseon Dynasty (Joseon) ruled Korea for more than 500 years before it was overthrown in 1910 by the conquering Japanese. From this minimalist series, it is not clear in which era exactly the story fell, but that is not important in the end.
Anyway, right at the beginning and with the previews, one could have expected a big story, drama, but after the first episode, everything slipped into a mini-form, both in the cast, the length of the episodes and the story itself. Apparently, the creators also struggled with a low budget.
The story, the idea (perhaps even according to reality) excellent, but for the most part unused, the potential that was offered was tons - like not many places, really a pity. But I don't mean to punish the creator.
The main three characters are cast by three stars from other Korean series and projects that are very well rated here on GT - Where Your Eyes Linger (Jang) - sk tit, Mr. Heart (Lee) - series sk tit and movie cz tit by monvi and Wish You II (Kang) - has cz tit by karcikarl, I list the civil nicknames of the actors in parentheses and the actors are also listed in that order on the three-photo in the Pictures folder. I liked Lee - Choi Ki Wan the most in terms of character and acting, who appeared disguised as a woman for 95% of the series.
Extremely pleasant, delicious, but I was impressed by the set, costumes, and sound. I learned how Koreans used to dress, how they lived. Overall satisfaction, BUT ... with a hugely wasted potential of the subject ...

Right from the start, it was obvious that Koreans belong to the more northern Asian races and many have very high cheekbones (not all of them), which squeeze the eyes into two slits. Both boys were likeable from the beginning, just friends from school fooling around. The girl seemed a little goofy to me at first, but that's how the story wanted it to be. And suddenly it happened that a friend turned out to be a friend. Very nicely, simply and truthfully rendered in a few minutes and together with the music and processing at a very solid level, I am pleasantly surprised in the end and thank karcikarl for his further translation and selection of a pleasant film.


Hned na začátku bylo vidět, že Korejci patří už k těm severnějším asijským rasám a mnozí mají hodně vystouplé lícní kosti (ne všichni), které stlačí oči do dvou štěrbin. Oba kluci byli od začátku sympatičtí, prostě přátelé ze školy blbli. Holčina mi zezačátku připadala mírně praštěná, ale takto to děj chtěl. A najednou se stalo, že z kamaráda se vyklubal kamaRÁÁÁD. Hrozně hezky, jednoduše a pravdivě vykresleno v pár minutách a spolu s hudbou a zpracováním na velmi solidní úrovni jsem nakonec mile překvapen a děkuji karcikarlovi za jeho další překlad a výběr příjemného filmu.

In my opinion, one of the best Thai BL series of 2020. The quartet of main characters aged 28, 25, 22 and 20 with carefully coiffed affines played a game under the guidance of the creators, which is not quite the usual format for this kind of series. Tutor with his girlish face and some marigold smiles (in a good way), the infectiously attractive Fighter, the tall Saifah and the tiny Zon. When monvi writes here that he "looked at Thai guys", I would add - Day was very nice to me (I put him in Pictures, he's second from the top).
The school was suppressed a lot in the first episodes and disappeared in the second phase, more eroticism came to the fore in the final episodes, the audience will enjoy it mainly with the Tutor-Figther duo, which after many series, when after a long wait at the end you will see max. or not even here, there is a shift.
Everything was top notch, especially the music and processing, the camera, the editing, the artistic aspect, you can also enjoy the Thai beaches and islands.
If you don't need all the BL series and choose only the best pieces, don't put one review on here, which is rather discouraging with its below-average rating, and I recommend this series to you.


Dle mě jeden z nejlepších thajských BL seriálů roku 2020. Kvarteto hlavních hrdinů v civilním věku 28,25,22 a 20 let s pečlivě načesanými afinkami rozehrálo pod vedením tvůrců partii, která není zcela běžným formátem tohoto druhu seriálů. Tutor se svou dívčí tvářičkou a s některými úsměvy jak měsíček na hnoji (v dobrém), nakažlivě přitažlivý Fighter, dlouhán Saifah a maličký Zon. Když tady monvi píše, že se "zhlídnul v thajských klucích", tak já bych doplnil - pro mě byl moc sympatický Day (dal jsem ho do Obrázků, je druhý seshora).
Škola byla hodně potlačena v prvních dílech a v druhé fázi vymizela, do popředí se protlačila větší erotičnost v závěrečných dílech, diváci si ji užijí hlavně u dvojice Tutor-Figther, což po mnoha seriálech, kdy po dlouhém čekání na konci uvidíte max. pusinku a nebo ani tu ne, je posun.
Vše bylo na výši, především hudba a zpracování, kamera, střih, výtvarná stránka, užít si můžete i thajských pláží a ostrůvků.
Kdo zrovna nemusí všechny BL seriály a vybírá si jen nejlepší kousky, nedejte na zdejší jednu recenzi, která svým podprůměrným ohodnocením spíše odradí a za mě Vám tento seriál doporučuji.

In the second series, there was a shift in characters from the original Ben to Jim, and the latter appealed to me even more as an actor. Maybe it was also the way the character of Ben was written (crying hurt moron who now doesn't know what he wants). The main song got under my skin and the rest was ok too. I got along with the characters and they at least saved the four points for the story of the second season, some parts were too long for my taste and I was refreshed by the symposia Roy and Bogs.
Note: while staying (2022) in the southern hemisphere, I turn on the TV and Jerome Ponce jumps out at me on the Novela E Plus channel (probably for southern African countries) in the English-dubbed series A Soldier's Heart (gay character, but 110 episodes) and we can look forward to the continuation of the gay love from this series in the newly prepared project PhilJie's Heart with Jerome Ponce and Yves Flores (Stuck On You).

Byl to zatím NEJREALISTIČTĚJŠÍ seriál pinoy produkce, co jsem viděl a troufnu si říci, že zatím pro mě i jeden z nejlepších BL projektů poslední doby. Ani se nedivím, že oba hlavní představitelé Ian Pangilinan a Paolo Pangilinan (Vlad a Karl) získali jakousi tu cenu BL - RAWR Awards Tandem roku 2020.
Oproti přecukrovaným BL pohádkám s nerealistickým dějem a scénáristickými zvraty hned od prvního dílu vstoupíte sice do jednoduchého příběhu, ale za přispění herců, scénáře, režiséra a dalších tvůrců, NAPROSTO SKVĚLÉ, KOUZELNÉ HUDBY, podtrhující celý příběh a pocit z něj, a projedete celým seriálem bez postranních zdržovacích sraček jako máslem a na konci si řeknete, že takto by se to mohlo stát i ve skutečnosti. Až jsem si říkal, kde jsou ty ohňostroje, proudy umělých slz a soplů a přešťastných komparzistů na konci. Dobře je zahraná i postava Vladovy sestry Judit (Adrienne Vergara).

A funny subject, when the two heroes fall into each other's lives and vice versa, briskly played, by Chinese standards, a nice bromance in the second half, the actors proved that they should have, if not for the moronic order of the infallible party, or rather its red autocratic "leader". A surprisingly effective conclusion. It only dropped the sound about three times... Definitely above average.


Vtipný námět, kdy vpadají oba hrdinové jeden do druhého jejich životů a naopak, svižně zahráno, na čínské poměry pěkná bromance ve druhé půli, herci dokázali, že by měli navíc, nebýt debilního nařízení neomylné strany, nebo spíše jejího rudého autokratického "vůdce". Překvapivě působívý závěr. Jen mi asi třikrát vynechával zvuk... Rozhodně nadprůměr.
