For once, I’m giving this show a childishly high rating of 9.5. That's 9 points for Almond alone and 0.5 for everything else. Disagree with me if you want. I don't care.
a three hour movie would not have the capacity of encompassing every bit of symbolism and meaning of the series.…
Though I find your tone a bit odd, I don't think you're being condescending, it's more about the way you phrase your replies. However, please provide some concrete examples instead of assuming I don't understand the issue.
While pacing is part of my critique, it isn't the main focus. My bigger concern is the inconsistent use of symbols and metaphors.
I thought this episode dragged a bit, too, and unrealistically shied away from the physical/sexual connection…
Regarding the physical/sexual connection, I've been making this point for ages, ever since I started watching GMM productions. It's unrealistic for people their age to behave that way. There's nothing wrong with sex, and if they want to keep an E rating, they could at least imply it by showing the start of a scene before slowly cutting away.
Sometimes I feel like all of GMM's main characters are like Barbie dolls, they're attracted to each other without anything in between, if you know what I mean.
Or maybe symbolism and metaphors take time and the longer the time takes, the more the audience can feel the characters…
You're far more polite and articulate than most of the people who have replied to me on this page over the past few years. They tend to use insults and emojis as "arguments." Thanks for your opinion.
Regarding the symbolism and metaphors, I have to say they're weak. For instance, The Creation of Adam is a famous painting, and I understand that the director wanted to incorporate it into the show. However, what I see is a forced and clumsy attempt to do so.
If you take it literally, Barth is now Tanrak's new God. As for the half-eaten apple, who is Adam and who is Eve supposed to be? Some of us might even see Barth as the snake, since he lures Tanrak away from God's embrace. The symbolism is all over the place.
It's like a hot pot: a bit of everything gets thrown in, but none of it really comes together.
This episode's plot isn't strong enough to sustain a full hour, which is why it feels noticeably slower than the previous episodes. I think the story would have been better suited to a three-hour movie. While I love seeing GemFourth together, I don't think the show is especially great overall. It's fine for what it is, but there's a disconnect between its heavy themes and its rather light execution.
and you gave a 8.5/10 for duang. non cense 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is there an implication that Duang with You has a lighter, fluffier, more comedic tone, and therefore isn't as serious as Ticket to Heaven?
Duang with You is one of the best shows of 2026 because it can switch effortlessly between two modes: ridiculousness and seriousness. Go watch Episode 7 and see how Tee Tee Wanpichit portrays his character's inner conflict. His crying scene is one of the best I've seen in BL.
Duang with You also excels at portraying subtle nuances, how the characters interact and how small emotions unfold naturally throughout the story.
Some scenes feel too drawn out for a six-episode miniseries. Both Gemini and Fourth are mature enough for these kinds of roles, and they're very good actors. However, some of their acting habits are still present. Fourth tends to wear the same long-faced expression whenever his character is disappointed; it's as if he only knows one way to portray disappointment. Gemini, meanwhile, always lowers his voice unnecessarily when he wants to appear calm. Some people say that's just his normal voice, but it isn't, watch a few of his interviews and you'll see for yourself.
Personally, I give this show an 8/10 for effort, but overall it's a 7/10.
I know I've said this before, but I have to say it again: Almond has a striking look at such a young age, it belongs on the big screen. Let's hope some film directors notice him and give him a great role. I'd love to see that face in a movie theater.
This is cute, but there should be more time for their feelings to develop. This is the problem with GMM shows: things go too fast at the beginning because they want to grab the audience’s attention. After that, the pacing is all over the place.
Gemini has always been a good actor, but whenever he uses that low tone of voice, he always sounds sleepy to me. I know he does it to create a calm and well-mannered character, in contrast to his energetic real-life personality. He did the same thing in My Love Mix-Up. I thought that after receiving so much feedback about his voice, he would switch to a different approach to portray Barth, but here he is doing it again.
