My biggest issue with this show is that it seems so beneath Boss and Noeul's talent. They are two of the biggest…
I started ep9 and the case has came up, I want to ask you, is it okay if I drop it here? Because I've loved the series so far and I don't want to be disappointed towards the end. Should I keep going or stop right here?? 🫣
I'm on ep9, the "twist" just came, and reading these comments can someone help me decide, should I drop it here or keep going, because I really don't want to be disappointed. I've loved this series so much so far, I don't wish to be disappointed towards the end😭
I've gone through so many edits on Instagram and reviews on MDL, but I haven't seen anyone talk about my favorite directing detail in the series, the ending confession scene in Episode 3.
Here's how I interpreted it: Barth and Tanrak stood on opposite sides of the door, with Barth in a bright white light and Tanrak in a darker, orange-toned one. To me, this represented Tanrak's state of mind. He believed that loving another man had already condemned him to Hell, while Barth, who he thought didn't feel the same, still belonged in Heaven.
But the moment Barth confessed, Tanrak opened the door, and they both ended up standing on the orange-toned side. It felt like, in Tanrak's mind, they were now both "condemned" because they loved each other.
I don't know if this was P'Aof's intention, but that's how I interpreted it, and it made that scene even more beautiful for me❤️
why Barth arrived alone, and left the church with Tanrak? Also did the mom get release from prison stay with Barth?…
I believe Barth's mom got out of prison and is living alone because they both got married and are living together🤗
Even I wondered why did Barth enter the church alone but then I was like it's a series and they had to keep us in suspense so they couldn't have showed us then entering the Church together😅
Just completed watching this and I'm mind blown, here's my honest review...
I already had a feeling this review was going to be a long one because I genuinely have so much I want to talk about. This wasn't just another BL for me. It was one of those series that constantly made me pause, think, and appreciate the amount of care that went into every little detail.
Let's start with the directing because Episode 3 had two details that completely blew me away, and I'm not sure how many people noticed them.
The first one was right at the beginning of the episode when Tanrak hesitated before touching the Holy Water. The way I interpreted it was that he hesitated because he had masturbated the previous night. In his mind, he had already given in to one of the deadliest sins, making himself unholy and unworthy of touching something sacred. It was such a subtle moment, but it said so much without a single line of dialogue.
The second detail, and probably my favorite in the entire series, was the confession scene. Barth and Tanrak stood on opposite sides of the door, with Barth standing in a brighter white light while Tanrak remained on the darker, orange-toned side. To me, this felt like a visual representation of Tanrak's state of mind. He believed that loving another man and having lustful feelings had already condemned him to Hell, while Barth, who he thought didn't share those feelings, still belonged in Heaven. But the moment Barth confessed, Tanrak opened the door, and they both ended up standing on the same orange-toned side. I don't know if this was exactly what P'Aof intended, but that's how I interpreted it, and it made that scene even more beautiful and impactful for me. ❤️
Moving on to the acting... Gemini and Fourth have always had incredible chemistry, so that wasn't a surprise. But compared to My School President and Love Mix-Up!, this felt like a huge step forward. Fourth's portrayal of Tanrak especially deserves so much appreciation. I've never personally experienced the kind of confusion, guilt, fear, and panic that Tanrak was dealing with, yet Fourth made every emotion feel so genuine that I found myself understanding and feeling everything alongside him.
The story itself was also something we don't get to see very often in BL. It wasn't just a romance; it constantly made me question and reflect on religion, faith, guilt, and what it truly means to love God.
I'll admit, there were moments at the beginning that were difficult for me to watch because my own beliefs are different. Personally, I don't believe loving God means living in constant fear or sacrificing every little piece of your happiness. To me, loving God means loving yourself, loving others, and doing good simply because it's the right thing to do, not because you're trying to earn a place in Heaven. If you're constantly terrified that God will reject you, then I don't think that's love.
And that's exactly why I loved where the story ended. Instead of forcing a choice between God and yourself, it beautifully showed that you can love both. You don't have to abandon your faith to be true to yourself, and you don't have to abandon yourself to stay close to God. That message was, without a doubt, the most beautiful part of the entire series.
Overall, I genuinely loved everything about Ticket to Heaven. The acting, the chemistry, the directing, the symbolism, and the story all came together beautifully. It's one of those series that stays with you long after you've finished watching it, and I know I'll be thinking about it for a very long time. 🤌❤️❤️
I completed this and it indeed was rushed😐Here's my honest opinion
I've been waiting to watch this for so long because I wanted to binge all three stories from Fourever You 2 together, and I think I made the right decision 😅❤️
I'll be honest, after Fourever You, this one left me a little disappointed. It started off really well, and the actors did an amazing job. I could genuinely feel Phoon's pain in the first few episodes, and I was excited to see where his journey would go.
My biggest issue was that everything felt too rushed. Phoon went from constantly seeking his father's approval and living in fear, to standing up against him, pursuing P'Fah, and deciding to tell everyone the truth almost overnight. Healing from a place that dark takes time, and I wish the series had actually shown us that journey instead of skipping straight to the end. I think that would've made his character growth much more satisfying to watch.
I also felt P'Fah accepted his feelings a little too easily. One moment, Phoon was nothing more than his younger brother, and the next, after learning the truth about the letters, he was basically like, "Oh, it was Phoon? Well, I guess I love my younger brother then." 🤷🏻♀️ Bro didn't even take a moment to process everything before accepting his feelings. I just wish we'd seen a little more internal conflict because that transition also felt way too quick.
Overall, I don't think it's a bad story at all. The emotional foundation was strong, the cast did a great job, and the chemistry was there. I just wish the story had slowed down and let the characters grow more naturally. Honestly, I think this story had enough potential to be a full-length series of around 10–12 episodes. Giving the characters more time to grow and breathe would've made the emotional payoff so much stronger.
PS: Please don't take this personally. These are simply my opinions. Everyone experiences stories differently, and this review is only about the writing and the characters, not the actors themselves. ❤️
Yes you will understand even without watching the 1st season.
I'll suggest you watch S1 despite it not being related because P'Johan is an absolute green forest and P'Jo and North's story is worth watching. Same with P'Hill and Ter❤️
is it just me or the series was a bit rushed? I mean, I loved it a lot and wanted more of it but it would've been better if they'd show Phoon's growth from "if I tell him, he'll hate me" to "I just don't want to lie"
it's been over a week, since I've started this, I'm still on ep6 and honestly I feel it's too slow. The story isn't moving at all. I mean I knew in the 1st episode that Klao was killed and that Nakun's mission is to find the killer. And so far, apart from confusing about why he got killed, there's no other progress. I think, I might drop this🫣

And yes, you're right, those actually were peak and I've decided not to drop it.
I love their chemistry so much😭🤍
