Silver Screen Insights: The Sign

| GENERAL SYNOPSIS

Among each BL that was released in 2023 (with the exception of the phenomenal 'I Feel You Linger in the Air'), The Sign has secured its place as one of the top 10 BLs of all time, and has set major expectations for future BL series. I was hooked from e1 and was eager to learn more with every episode released afterwards. To conclude, The Sign is not a perfect series, but the performance from all actors and the team behind this series was constructed excellently.

| Spotlight of Excellence (Positive Elements)

• All of the abs (especially Gap Puribhat [Yai]) and butts shown in e1 was a sight to see LOL
• Billy Ounsa-ard (Phaya) gave us everything in the last few episodes and should be applauded
• Each couple had sweet moments which was appreciated
• Nat Sakdakorn (Art) out-acted everyone in this series with only 20m of screen time
• Phaya & Tharn have beautiful chemistry and really fought to remain by one another's side
• Saint's cameo at the end gave me goosebumps (in a good way)
• Subtle inclusion of a GL couple was nice
• The NSFW scenes were excellent and had me blushing
• The police and special forces aspects were well done

| Shortcomings and Flaws (Negative Elements)

• Khem taking the bullet for Thongthai was unnecessary
• Overall the CGI was wonderful but looked cheesy at times (take notes from Game of Thrones)
• Tharn's plan for justice/revenge for his parents' deaths could have been executed better
• The antagonists (except for Chalothon) were lackluster

Silver Screen Insights: 1000 Years Old

| GENERAL SYNOPSIS

I have only watched 2/12 episodes and I am not convinced that this will be a good series. The story so far is very corny and unfulfilling, according to what I saw in the trailer. However, my expectations were not set very high to begin with, so I will continue to watch until I can't any longer.

| Spotlight of Excellence (Positive Elements)

• Opal Napawiwattanakul (Yo) has a stunning beauty mark on his neck
• Special effects were quite well
• There were SOME cute interactions between Pun and Yo

| Shortcomings and Flaws (Negative Elements)

• Odd editing & transitions
• Pun's brief origin story could have added more substance
• Pun's vampire revelation was pitiful
• Yo's plan to reveal Pun's vampiric nature was incredibly dense
