can we put aside the love squares and rectangles and go back to the demons??? it's so annoying when they bring in love interests to stir things up when there are so many other ways to make the story interesting 😞
if you are wondering why this page has less interactions and ratings even though it is listed as "thai original story" and the other version is listed as a "thai compilation" i think it's because mdl messed up a little.
so the acoustic ver = cut ver and orchestric ver = uncut ver.
usually the cut version pages of thai bls have more interactions because i think they are considered the main pages and other versions are listed as compilations and have way less interactions.
the first page they made for this drama on this website was just "shine" with no versions whatsoever, has now been converted to shine (orchestric ver). people added initial "shine" to their watchlists, so they are more active over there.
so what's the difference between two versions? no spoilers please i haven't watched it yet i just want to know because its usually just cut or uncut version and this is something new.
well, if you don't think much about it, it's a good and entertaining drama except the last two episodes. but if you think deep you will realize, they put red paint on a crow, wrapped it with pretty words and presented it like a phoenix.
i came in for a silly little revenge turned love story but shit got serious real quick. it was mostly great with a few flaws i couldn't ignore but despite all that, it was still very good. the ending scene is so well made. i will remember it for a long time. and i don't think they are going to work together again but i will keep supporting them in their future works. 9/10.
it was great to see krist-singto as cp after a long time like things like these don't happen that often so i am happy that they decided to work together again.
about the story, the first half was a banger. i was really enjoying it. but then episode 7 happened and i just kinda pushed through from there. i put it off so much because the core story was not handled properly. like the reasoning for his disappearance... i don't even want to talk about it because it makes me so angry. their love story was going so good, acting was great, character development was going steady, dialogues were great, top notch sfx, out of the world humour and it all came down to THIS MESS. i am literally so angry. and why the fuck did they do that paul? like did anyone see that coming? i really think they drew up random cards to make that up ðŸ˜
anyways, first half good, second half not so much, 6/10.
i know this isn't the case but somehow they made it look like a very toxic lesbian situationship towards the end like reina looked more like the ex than that trash.
anyways, i didn't watch the korean version and have no plans on watching it so i came in with the basic understanding of the story from what i saw on youtube shorts and was seated for a revenge plot. it did meet my expectations. i thought it was written well most of the time but there were some dull moments. i especially liked reina's character sketch because i can't understand her and that might be the charm of a psychopath, only in fiction though. 7/10, i recommend it.
i feel like that 10 mins breakup was more unnecessary than those 5 years apart. going to the US aspect was very much prominent in the show. nowhere in the show did jom ask yo to stay back and nowhere in the show did yo mention about giving up his goals to stay back. instead, he wanted to work it out long distance so i already saw that coming at the end. it does seem like a typical BL ending episode where one is gone and the other pines for him but this one is not like that at all when you think about it. i think it's very realistic too. if it had been breakup and then five years apart like aof's BLs then we would have some things to consider and people to kill.
story wise those 5 years made sense to me but the execution is shit. 5 years later, everything and everyone still looks like same. they didn't show a lot of the time inbetween so forget about 5 years in the US, it felt more like yo came back from bangkok after 5 weeks.
i really like idolfactory BLs. they post uncut eps on youtube and episodes are pretty long. i like that their focus is on developing the characters and their relationship.
it's great to see saint back in a BL after a long time. poon is great actor. he looks so dreamy and his eyes twinkle like stars whenever he is looking at jom. it was so cute.
overall, its equally romantic and funny. it's very calm and non-complex, exactly what i was in the mood to watch. mostly liked the show expect few minor flaws. 8/10, definitely recommend.
the second half is so much better like i was on the verge of dropping it but starting from the 11th episode, the story became more interesting. 6.5/10 :>
how is the plot? i don't really care about kisses and sexual chemistry even though it would be nice to have but right now i am really in the mood for something with engaging and interesting story.
