Great visuals, fights, brotherhood and street vibe

“When you were in that coma, it was like a living hell. At that moment, time stopped for me” - You threw these words to your friend’s face, who just woke up from a coma, and then in the next minute you beat him to nearly dead again lol.

Although I didn’t enjoy this movie as much as the first series, I gave it the same rating. I think it’s a great movie, with great visuals, fights, street vibe, great music and brotherhood, as expected from the first series. I loved it, especially the final battle at the end when the five S.W.O.R.D gangs decided to team up and fight against Kohaku and those bad guys working for a big South Korean mafia group, in order to protect the town where they were born and raised from those dangerous criminals. I didn’t expect this saga to get involved in serious political matters, but it did and I love that. I think politics exists everywhere, and everything and everyone is involved in politic matters, whether we acknowledge or not.

To sum up, the Korean mafia group wanted to use Kohaku to destroy the S.W.O.R.D gangs to destroy their rival, Kuryu Group, which is a big Japanese yakuza organization. They both wanted to take over the S.W.O.R.D district for a new illegal construction. The Kuryu Group had been using wealth and power to take control over the area for years, including bribing to the corrupt police with dirty money earned by committing several serious crimes in the area, such as drug manufacturing, murder, and human trafficking aiming at young women and girls. I think they can be considered as the main antagonist and the biggest threat to the allied S.W.O.R.D. gangs. In this movie, it was revealed that their goal is to destroy the 5 gangs to construct an illegal, government-backed casino used to conceal political corruption.

Those guys working for the Korean mafia group is just as bad as the Kuryu Group. In this movie, those evil crimes I mentioned above were committed by them. Ironically, it was that gross criminal Seungri who played the role of that group’s leader. I can’t stand his disgusting face and voice, and also wonder what he was thinking and feeling when he was offered to play this role, when he is also a disgusting criminal himself in real life. I bet that sick psychopath was just having fun showing a bit part of his true self to the world without anyone realizing.

I felt so bad for the Rude Boys gang, when this time a lot of their people were brutally killed, and their leader was seriously wounded and probably even terminally ill and could die any time soon. They are also the poorest among the gangs. Basically they are a found family including orphaned people, abandoned by their own parents since they were born, and live in a dump. Oh my god, whenever I think about them, it’s so heartbreaking.

I couldn’t fully enjoy the movie mainly because I couldn’t stand the face of that disgusting psychopath and those lame Might Warriors dudes whom I already disliked since the second season of the main series.

Coba hitung berapa kali "Ni shi wo de" disebut? wkwkwk

Jujuuuurr, aku dah hampir mau ngedrop ni series, soalnya Bu Xia ngeselin banget diawal-awal. Tapi aku somehow kayak ter-hipnotis sama komentar dan ulasan di page ini, jadi kupikir apa salahnya kucoba ikutin dulu ceritanya? eh ternyata waww ini beneran bagus sih, walau ada aspek-aspek yang kureng ya tapi forgivable lah yaa soalnya the amount of cuteness will kill u (becandaa/ tp beneran imoet bgt gakuaatt)..

Plot 7.0 + Story (development) 8.5

Plotnya sih udah lazim ditemukan di BL lain, kalau mau yang seremmm banget ada tuh Khemjira atau kalau mau yang ceritanya tentang pacar hantu yang super horny ada tuh series pendek korea (lupa judulnya hehe). Jadi untuk plot ngga ada kebaharuan, tapi gimana cara mereka mengembangkan plot dan dituangkan ke scenery dan hasil eksekusinya overall bagus, well done.

Acting 10/10

The fact that i got annoyed by Bu Xia diawal2 tu emg beneran ngebuktiin kalo actingnya bagus. Semua disini pinter main ekspresi, beneran berasa nonton soap opera bukan yang actingnya feel amatiran (IYKYK). Oiya banyak banget scene imuuuuttt bangettt ya tuhan gw ga kuat bgt cuteness aggression could kill me huhuu. oiya ibaratkan lagu, Bu Xia dan Jiang Chi ibarat kayak lagunya Naykilla yang baru rilis tuh, "My Mine Gueh". Literally mereka announcing "hak milik", either Bu Xia terhadap Jiang Chi atau Jiang Chi terhadap Bu Xia. Coba, kalian hitung berapa kali mereka bilang "Ni Shi Wo De!" (lu tuh milik gue) atau pas ngomong ke pihak ketiga, mereka bilang "Jiang Chi shi wo de!!" (that one iconic scene sebelum kepalanya Bu Xia dipitak sama kakak dia wkwkwk, lucu bgt sih Bu Xiaaaa). Intinya ini tontonan ringan yang sangat worth it ditonton pas lagi stress biar ngga makin stress gegara nontonin series yang ceritanya heavy kayak C-BL yang baru-baru ini rilis.

Music 8.5

Plus point karena ngga makek AI Slop (iya ya tau ini tuh series 2023 tapi kan AI tuh technically udah di-komersilkan sejak 2022). OST yang di outro nya enak didenger, tapi belum sempet browsing ntu lagu jduulnye ape.

Rewatch Value 7.5

I just wished Bu Xia karakternya bisa diubah gitu pas di awal2 hehe biar kalo mau rewatch ngga harus ngelewatin fase-fase dia ngeselin dulu. bisa sih skip langsung ke episode tertentu tapi feelnya beda donkkk


intinya bagus banget ini sangat worth it untuk direkomendasikan ke temen temen lu yang baru kenal BL karena ini ceritanya light, ngga ada NC, fluffy dan imut kyut cutesy.

Engaging but Never Gripping

The drama serves as an interesting, casual watch that easily holds my attention, even if it never quite hooks me enough to make me binge-watch it. The absolute peak of the series is the heartbreaking and intense sequence where Ye Li remembers the tragedy at Mount Li. It is a beautifully poignant moment that genuinely moved me to tears, and the OST playing during that scene was excellent.

While the main characters have a convincing bond, the lack of romantic scenes left me wishing for more. Because both Ye Li and Prince Ding are victims who share a common enemy, they could have made a truly spectacular team; instead, they go about their revenge in their own separate ways. The pace definitely dragged during the final three episodes, but it wasn't a total loss—just an okay finish.

If God Teaches Us to Love — Then What's the Point?

The series has become a massive global phenomenon, breaking records and sparking conversations in more than 160 countries—and honestly, it's not hard to understand why. It's visually stunning, full of careful symbolism and subtle visual storytelling. One shot that immediately stuck with me is when Barth tells Tanrak they're completely alone, only for the camera to slowly pull back and reveal Jesus on the cross behind them. They're never actually alone. It's a beautiful reminder that, in Tanrak's eyes, God is always present—even in the moments he's trying hardest to hide.

The visual storytelling is consistently this strong. Tanrak presses every daisy Barth gives him between the pages of his Bible and, with each bouquet, quietly paints another flower onto the ceiling above his bunk—the same bunk he's slept in since arriving at the seminary, where nothing in his life had ever truly changed until Barth walked into it. Even the bathroom becomes symbolic: it's where Tanrak retreats whenever his world begins to fall apart. It's where he first seeks refuge during his crisis of faith, desperately trying to find comfort in the only thing he's ever known.

Episodes five and six completely broke me.

Watching Tanrak burn the notes they wrote to each other, the pressed flowers hidden inside his Bible... I couldn't stop thinking about how much fear, shame and guilt someone must carry to believe they have to destroy something as innocent as the proof of their first love.

The series also handles Father Arnon brilliantly. He begins as a calm, compassionate mentor, almost a father figure. But as Tanrak's feelings for Barth deepen, Arnon slowly transforms into something far more intimidating. The scene where Barth and Tanrak hide between the stacked mattresses while Arnon's shadow creeps across the wall—introduced only by the shine of his leather shoes—is genuinely unsettling. He becomes almost ghostlike, constantly watching, constantly present. More than anything, though, it's a reflection of Tanrak himself. The institution that once gave him purpose slowly becomes the very thing he fears most.

Kongdech's confrontation with Tanrak hit just as hard, albeit for very different reasons. When he tells Tanrak that what disappoints him most isn't being lied to, but the fact that Tanrak apparently no longer wants to become a priest alongside him—and then asks, "Don't you want to see your parents in heaven anymore?"—I honestly had to pause the episode.

What an unbelievably self-centred thing to say to someone who's already drowning in guilt.

Instead of asking his best friend what he's going through, Kongdech unknowingly reinforces every fear Tanrak already carries. You can literally watch Tanrak break under the weight of those words.

What surprised me most, though, is that this isn't actually a story about religion rejecting queerness.

It's a story about two boys falling in love.

That distinction matters.

The series never frames Tanrak's love for Barth as something inherently wrong. He never denies loving him. He never even denies desiring him. His struggle isn't that he believes love itself is sinful—it's that he fears abandoning the people and the life that shaped him. Over time, his feelings stop being framed as lust and become what they've always been: love.

By the final episode, Tanrak doesn't choose between Barth and God.

He chooses both.

I can absolutely understand why this series has resonated so deeply with queer people who grew up religious. For many viewers, I imagine it feels genuinely healing to see faith and queerness coexist without one destroying the other. Even the inclusion of the trans woman in the finale quietly reinforces that idea: faith can still belong to people who've spent their entire lives being told otherwise.

For me, however, it's a little more complicated.

I didn't grow up religious—if anything, the opposite—and my relationship with the Catholic Church has always been deeply sceptical. Because of that, the ending felt just a little too optimistic.

Throughout the series, Tanrak's shame feels painfully real. His fear feels earned. His guilt feels believable. But when everything is finally resolved, it almost feels as though the institution quietly steps back and says, "We never actually had a problem with your sexuality. That was simply your interpretation."

That was the one moment where the series lost me.

I would have preferred it if the Church had remained exactly what it often is for many queer people: an institution capable of causing profound harm without needing to be redeemed by the narrative. Sometimes the damage is real. Sometimes the shame isn't self-inflicted. Sometimes it's taught.

There's one scene in the finale I still can't get out of my head.

After Tanrak and Barth spend the night together, Tanrak wakes before Barth, walks silently into the bathroom and begins holding the cross of his rosary against the flame of a lighter. The scene cuts away before we see what happens next.

My interpretation was that he was trying to punish himself.

It's such a devastating image of internalised shame that the almost utopian ending which follows feels like it's happening to a different version of Tanrak altogether.

Even so, I think Ticket to Heaven is one of the most impressive Thai BLs in years. It's beautifully acted, visually confident and emotionally fearless. It isn't perfect, but it's the kind of series that stays with you long after it's over—not because it has all the answers, but because it's willing to ask difficult questions.

And there's one line I don't think I'll forget anytime soon:

"If God teaches us to love, but we're not allowed to love each other, then what's the point of having God in this world?"

That one sentence alone captures everything the series is trying to say.

I loved this show!

Just a heads-up: I watched this drama quite a while ago, so this review is based purely on my goldfish memory.

I'm an absolute sucker for twin-swap stories. If a drama has that trope, there's a good chance I'm going to eat it up. I loved Sprite so much ♡ he was so funny!

The only thing that really bothered me was Zee. I understood why he was upset but he was low-key being petty as hell. What pissed me off was how he treated First and that made it difficult for me to sympathize with him. 😒

Overall, I had a really good time with this drama. It's definitely one I'd recommend if you enjoy twin-swap plots, lighthearted BLs, and don't mind a little bit of drama along the way. Even though it's been a while since I watched it, it's one that has stuck with me, which says a lot.

I wasn't a fan of Jack and Mike's ending.

Amazing Drama

This drama is incredibly captivating. Both lead actors portray their characters in a way that feels so real and true to life. The male lead is an exceptionally well-written character, and Bai Jingting brings him to life perfectly with his outstanding performance.
As for Zhang Ruonan, she never fails to amaze me. She portrays Wen Yifan's sadness with such depth and authenticity that I found myself crying through many episodes because of her emotional acting.
The two leads are a perfect match for this drama. Their on-screen chemistry is natural, heartfelt, and one of the biggest reasons the story is so enjoyable to watch.

the best drama I've watched so far

The incredible plot and amazing actors and actresses. I just found out about this movie 2 years after the release, but I never though finding a gem. A very underrated movie I've watched so far. I could feel the tension and feeling from both Male Lead and Female Lead. The story are very funny aswell, not only about romance but there is a hint of comedy which was very interesting. I hope they could work together again in the future. Zhang Ruo Nan is a very excellet actress when never see show up in the movie, I always feel like watching her, her inner beauty shines. And in this drama Chen Xing Xu completed the drama even more, the chemistry between two of the sky rocket, I was giggling so hard watching this drama.

it was good until it wasn’t…

writing this as I’m watching the last episode because it’s lost my interest but I’m almost done so.

the first 5 episodes were almost brilliant. depictions of very graphic abuse, the victims who suffer, the bystanders that permit it, and the impact it can have on those around the person. it handled such a difficult discussion really well.

seeing Eun-su do everything she can to help her friend, Hui-su, get out of the DV she was experiencing. inspite of what happened in her past, she was determined to help - and seeing that come about was masterful. how the both of them carried out the plan to free her was meticulous yet believable. it didn’t feel like an exaggeration even though it still is a “drama/thriller/mystery” esque show. everything felt very appropriate.

until it didn’t. spoilers: but making Jang Kang return was such a foolish move. it took the spotlight from a victim who would’ve finally have found a life for herself free from the violence that she once would experience everyday to a full fledged mystery drama. had the show chosen down its initial path, it really could’ve said something productive about the severity DV survivors may go to to escape their abuse all because of the world that ignores their suffering. there was sm that couldve been happened outside of the whole noh jin young covering everything for a promotion plot. honestly that second half was not even worth the time watching, it felt so messy and rushed just adding details to make it reach the 8 episode mark while still being “interesting” (which it could’ve been had they decided to focus on hui su instead of characters that were initially unimportant).

it’s unfortunate, it had great potential to be something really well done with such a stacked cast and great beginning plot. had it not tried to outdo itself with plot twists and suspense it could’ve prevailed in demonstrating meaningful commentary about abuse victims and the way they are silenced.

Lee you mi’s performance is absolutely commendable that’s fs. even playing a role like this must’ve been so mentally difficult and to do it as well as she did is just… wow. I cried so hard.

overall I think the first few episodes may be worth it but afterwards it falls off really hard. can’t say if it’s worth the watch because again the first few episodes are so raw and emotional but after that don’t be afraid to drop, it doesn’t get better than that.

Sometimes its best to let go and move on.

I honestly absolutely loved 2521 and i thought it was a brilliant drama. It's impeccable scenes and the way they used flashback, flashforward, and many different more techniques are so impressive. I really do urge you to watch this as its really memorable and it teaches you so many different things in life. It opens your eyes to things that we miss alot in day to day life. It allows us to grow and understand the hardships people face, which soon will be us. This drama is so relatable, nostalgic and admirable. It really breaks your heart but you know deep down it was for the good. Sometimes its best to let go and move on, thats a part of love. And i love the way Na heedo and Baek yijin conveyed that. I am forever grateful for this drama as it will be my top ones. Its so realistic, which is just what we want that makes it better than others with similar plots. But i do still wish they could have been together at the end.

People are being overly critical...

I could tell from the very beginning that this was going to be a cheesy, lighthearted, and somewhat childish show. If that isn't your kind of drama, then I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Personally, I had a lot of fun watching it. It's a great choice if you're looking for something cute, easy to watch, and not meant to be taken too seriously. The acting definitely isn't the strongest, but I didn't find it bad enough to take away from the overall enjoyment.

I also tend to enjoy all kinds of dramas, but I'm especially a fan of series where the main couple gets together before the very end. I like being able to actually watch them grow as a couple for a few episodes instead of only becoming official in the finale. Since Your Sky does that, I'm probably a little biased.

Overall, I think people are being a bit too harsh on this show. it's simply a sweet, cheesy BL that's fun to watch if you go in with the right expectations.
