Eu ameeeeiiiiii

Que bl espetaculaaaar.
Foram apenas 6 eps mas que conseguiu englobar todo o necessário e apresentar tudo de uma forma linda!

A atuação de todos está impecável, os geminifourth são incríveis, mas o fourth em específico deu um show de atuação, ele me fez sentir de todos os sentimentos que o tanrak vivia. A angústia, o medo, a dúvida, senti tudo junto dele.

Sobre a história, eu amei do começo ao fim. É uma história de amor juvenil linda, que nunca tinha visto falarem sobre. Tudo foi abordado de forma delicada e super respeitosa com a religião e com a comunidade queer. O modo em que tudo em todos os detalhes foi bem pensado, as entrelinhas, a linha do tempo, tudo me agradou. Não vou me aprofundar sobre o que é tratado na história, mas não tenho críticas para a história, ele entregou muito bem para uma série de 6eps.

Por fim, valeu demais a espera por essa estreia e recomendo muitoo, para todo mundo que tiver a oportunidade, vale a pena demais assistir.

I Held My Breath

This series says so much through the simplest moments.

The story is beautifully written, and the acting is top-notch. Fourth and Gemini were incredible, making every emotion feel so genuine. You could feel the fear, love, longing, guilt, and anger right along with them.

A huge appreciation to the director P"Aof for bringing everything together so beautifully. The cinematography is stunning, and every frame adds so much to the emotions and storytelling.

My three favorite scenes have to be the Tanrak's long take scene, the water tank scene and Barth's phone call scene. The emotions portrayed are especially unforgettable.

A beautiful story with beautiful performances that will stay with me for a long time.

Instantly became one of my favs

Really surprised by negative reviews here, whats going on?
I found this show on Gaga and put it on without knowing anything. Episodes are only 13 min each and that almost stopped me from giving it a shot. Glad it didnt.
What started as FWB had a very happy ending. There is a lot of spicy scenes and they're steamy and very beautifully done each time. The only thing thats off is their kissing, its confusing they kiss with closed mouth when they filmed so many spicy scenes.
I loved the character developmenet and main guy has a lot of inner monologue we can hear. I think the whole thing was relatable if you ever had a FWB that you fell for (which i did lol).

Dont mind the negative reviews and give it a go. Even if you dont like it- its short enough for you to give it a shot!

Por que demorei assistir essa série!

Essa foi uma série que me deixou com sentimentos bem misturados. Confesso que demorei para terminar, porque o ritmo é mais lento e, no começo, não consegui me conectar muito com a história.

Mas, conforme os episódios foram passando, fui entendendo a profundidade da trama. É uma série que traz reflexões muito bonitas sobre a importância da família, de valorizar as pessoas que nos acolhem e permanecem ao nosso lado nos momentos mais difíceis, além de mostrar como a honestidade e a integridade fazem toda a diferença.

Também aborda que, por mais que a gente queira crescer e conquistar nosso espaço no trabalho, tudo tem o seu tempo. Quando fazemos as coisas da maneira certa, a oportunidade certa sempre chega.

E o final… simplesmente lindo! 🥹❤️ Valeu a pena insistir até o último episódio.

a question of faith, in God and Love.

Ticket to Heaven — The Temptation of Tanrak

Ticket to Heaven is, to me, less a BL romance than a story about temptation. It reminded me of Christ’s temptation in the desert—not because it retells Scripture, but because it asks the same timeless question: What are we willing to sacrifice for what we believe?

When I was a teenager, I once asked my cousin, a Catholic priest, how difficult it was to live the priesthood. His answer has stayed with me ever since.

He said being a true Catholic is already difficult because we are called to live according to our faith. Being a priest goes even further. It is not about fulfilling one’s wants or desires, but about sacrifice—giving oneself completely to God and choosing a life of service over personal fulfillment. He told me that many are called, but few are chosen.

That conversation became the lens through which I watched this series.

Although the story is set in a school for future seminarians rather than an actual seminary, it explores the same internal conflict: the struggle between faith and desire. Tanrak’s journey is not simply about falling in love with another boy. It is about confronting his own convictions, questioning the life he believed he was destined to live, and discovering whether his calling is genuine or merely inherited.

The writing cleverly uses biblical imagery throughout the series. Barth becomes the tempter—not evil, but the person who continually presents Tanrak with choices. The apple, the roti wrap, climbing over fences, breaking rules—each symbolizes another step away from certainty. Every episode slowly erodes Tanrak’s innocence until desire becomes impossible to ignore.

What impressed me most is that the series never portrays temptation as purely physical. Tanrak is an orphan who has longed for affection all his life. Barth gives him the attention, warmth, and acceptance he has always lacked. That emotional hunger makes the temptation far more believable than simple attraction. It raises an important question: are we witnessing genuine love, or is Tanrak confusing love with the need to be loved?

Episode four remains my favorite. Joe’s conversation about the priesthood beautifully captures its essence—not loving one person, but sacrificing oneself in order to love many. That echoes exactly what my cousin once explained to me, and it gives the series its emotional and spiritual center.

Fourth delivers another remarkable performance. He completely disappears into Tanrak, portraying innocence, guilt, longing, fear, and internal conflict with remarkable subtlety. Every emotional breakdown feels earned, making Tanrak’s journey the true heart of the series.

Gemini, however, left me wanting more. Barth carries deep resentment toward God, yet that anger rarely feels fully realized. Gemini naturally projects warmth and sincerity, qualities that work wonderfully in many roles, but here Barth needed a sharper edge and a more volatile emotional presence. I wanted to see a broken young man whose pain slowly softened because of Tanrak. Instead, Barth often felt gentle from the beginning, making his emotional arc less compelling.

This also touches on one of my recurring criticisms of the Thai BL industry. Established “ships” sometimes dictate casting more than character. While Gemini and Fourth undeniably possess excellent chemistry, chemistry alone does not always create the strongest performances. Sometimes the best actor for a role may not belong to the established pairing. Chinese and Japanese productions often feel freer in this regard, casting actors based primarily on the needs of the story rather than audience expectations.

Ironically, because Gemini and Fourth remain so closely associated with My School President, I occasionally found it difficult to completely separate these characters from those earlier roles. That familiarity slightly weakened the illusion this darker, more mature story was trying to create.

The finale will satisfy most viewers, but I don’t believe the ending is the true point of the series. This is not ultimately a story about choosing between love and the Church. It is about people of faith wrestling with guilt, identity, acceptance, and sacrifice. Whether Tanrak’s decision is viewed as happy or tragic depends entirely on one’s understanding of what happiness truly means.

Ticket to Heaven asks difficult questions without pretending to have easy answers. For that alone, it deserves recognition. It is one of the rare Thai BLs that invites viewers not merely to watch a romance, but to reflect on faith, vocation, temptation, and the cost of following one’s convicti

WHAT A MASTERPIECE!

I can't even put into words how I feel about this series. I waited so long for the day I could finally watch it, and now it’s already over. How fast did the time fly? I feel like I was a part of BarthTanrak’s story. I felt deeply connected to every scene and experienced every emotion with my whole being. It is simply a masterpiece! THANK YOU for your hard work, P'Aof! You’ve shown once again just how beautiful and special a story can be, and how much dedication you put into your work. THANK YOU GeminiFourth! You brought the series to life and demonstrated your incredible acting talent! You should be so fucking proud of yourselves! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! This series gave me so much - far more than words could ever express! TICKET TO HEAVEN is, by far, one of the most authentic and best BL series existing! ✝️✨️🤍

Faith, Hope, and Love - Perfectly mixed

Regardless of your personal beliefs, this is a series worth watching. It tackles the difficult intersection of queer identity and our beliefs that we have carried through our lifetime.

GeminiFourth take to the roles so authentically, and you can relate every step of the way. It has it's ups and downs, and you feel so many emotions along the way.

6 episodes may seem short, and while I could have watch another 6, I think it was just the right length for the story it was telling.

I don't want to give any spoilers so I'll leave it at this, but if you're unsure about watching, whether because you aren't religious, of a different faith, or think it's may not be your cup of tea, all I can say is that it's absolutely worth a watch.

Drama 10/10

Que drama incrível! ❤️ Simplesmente uma obra que te prende do início ao fim. É impossível assistir e não se envolver com a história.

Os atores entregaram atuações impecáveis, cheias de emoção, e o roteiro foi extremamente bem escrito. Cada episódio desperta um sentimento diferente e faz a gente querer assistir ao próximo sem parar.

Eu já tinha criado muitas expectativas para essa série, mas ela conseguiu superar todas elas. Foi uma experiência emocionante e inesquecível.

Super recomendo esse drama! Vale cada minuto. ❤️✨

Amazing from start to finish

I dont even have the words. This was so incredibly good. I almost didn't tune in at all because the premise seemed cheesy. Holy crap, I got more than I could possibly have asked for! I got more than I knew I wanted!

It was so thoughtful and restrained in a lot of ways. But it was also full of emotions. I felt all of them but I didnt feel like I was manipulated into it. They just organically grew out of the story, and the way it was told. I literally cried for the entire last episode!

The acting was amazing. The ability of both Gemini & Fourth to portray so much emotion without speaking was true artistry. I was on the edge of my seat with my heart in my hand for every episode. Each character was superbly executed. And I felt invested in all of them, not just the mains. The Father gave me life. So did Lek in the finale.

The cinematography was beautiful. The light and the dark. The moments of stillness, especially between the mains. Just incredible.

The intimacy between Tanrak and Barth is electric. And I'm not talking about NC scenes (this is pretty innocent as far as BLs go), I'm talking about the expressions of intense, inescapable love between them. And every time they kissed it was like a million fireworks exploding. Chemistry on top of chemistry (layered with good acting, a good script, and good direction).

If you haven't seen it already, go watch it right now.

a dissapointment that couldve been good

it sucks because it started off great, but i dont even know when the plot started to become terrible.

i think the moment when i knew it was truly over for this show was when we FINALLY got the cancer reveal and the acting from everybody was so ridiculous.

first of all, they basically dropped the cancer thing for most of the show. then when it was finally coming back this big reveal we've been waiting for... god.
the acting was terrible, the writing was terrible, all of it was terrible. what happened??? we started pretty strong.

the female couple was basically useless. no screen time at all no chemistry no nothing. the actresses were together in the show candy and they're actually pretty good so i think the creators of the show just fumbled unbelievably. and the secondary couple just seemed predatory.

i wish they cut all the side character romances out and just focussed on the main couple tbh. if they focussed in on them i think they could've made something good. its a shame it all became so messy.

When Outstanding Acting Meets Exceptional Storytelling

From the very first episode to the last, this drama completely captivated me. The story is beautifully written, deeply emotional, and stays with you long after it ends. Every episode made me feel something, and the final episode was simply perfect. The chemistry between the leads is amazing, and their performances made every emotion feel genuine and believable. They brought their characters to life so naturally that I found myself completely invested in their journey. This is one of those rare dramas that makes you laugh, cry, hope, and reflect all at once. It will stay in my heart for a very long time. If I could, I would gladly give it 15/10 stars.

The Disappointment We Lived In

The concept was great but the execution failed at every turn. The show starts off strong when the hitman knocks out the owner of a house and is told not to kill him but lock him in the basement while he has to search for a phone which for some reason, he doesn't actually spend time looking for. Then we get a guest at the house mistaking the hitman for his friend's brother. Turns out he's a cop. Sounds exciting, right? Except the cop is dumb as a doorknob.

The problem is that the hitman isn't killing and the cop isn't investigating or arresting anyone. Also the cop can't fight nor use his brain. He is clearly not cut out for the job so MINOR SPOILER I was very happy he quits at the end.

There was solid potential for some thrill and tension but both characters turned soft. And then there's a mystery behind a death but none of it made sense. I'm not sure how they got away with the crime in the first place.

The 2 positives are that the theme music is great and all the actors are goodlooking. But the only acting I thought was decent was the hitman's. The script was weak and they managed to make the show feel very slow paced even at 20 mins an episode.

Amidst all the chaos, the leads manage some loving. It was a bit ridiculous but okay they looked good together.

I actually feel bad rating it poorly but the show fell well below my expectations.

Defintely recommending to watch!

I don’t know about yall but I loved everything from that series. I read some reviews talking about plot holes but hey does Blew and Vayo have to be perfect too? They can also be a little stupid sometimes and do some things wrong—I personally don’t think it is considered a plot hole.

The love story was very beautiful between them—the angst here was also very needed and very real because it wouldn’t fit for her to stay as a princess.

I’d love to see Blew’s family—the king and prince at the wedding, but it felt more real that they weren’t here so I’m completely okay with that.

The plot for me was absolutely very amazing and it didn’t made me bored a single time. I also like slow burns better—so yes I’ll say that The Air is my favorite from 4 Elements series.

I’d like to take a moment to compliment on the character that Helena was. I think it was very well written and Becky pulled her off perfectly. Her story is really tragic and I feel bad for her but also she made a good decision in the end. Grace made her and Henri suffer so much, but she was also a very good written character. I didn’t had any idea at the start that it’d be her to betray the princess. I honestly also didn’t expect her to have such a reason for doing all that, I thought it was only for money and the power but I didn’t thiught much about that so maybe that’s why I didn’t really noticed.

Also I need to mention that FreenBecky are amazing actresses and they did such a good job with this series, I’m really hooked by their acting.

Their characters were very well written for me, the princess was so in love but didn’t realized that because all the life she had only been a royal person thinking about her duties and never knew what love is. That’s why she returned to Madelin first and only then resigned from the throne instead of chasing after Lom right them at the hospital when she had a chance and could told everyone to stay longer. Lom was also very good, a girl who was just joking and playing around but found a love that she thought was impossible. She never wanted to cross the line and was scared of doing anything but in the end she got her happy ending. I also really admire her story as a police officer, it was amazing to watch her in those scenes, she was so cool.

It was so nice to watch it every week for those 2 months, hurts to say goodbye to my LomBlew but I’ll see them a bit in The Fire too and I look forward to that!!

A Mind Game on the Edge of Truth and Falsehood

If you appreciate psychological thrillers that treat human obsession like a chess match, Notes from the Last Row is incredibly satisfying.
​Instead of relying on big action set-pieces or sudden jump scares, the show builds its entire tension around the simple, unsettling act of storytelling. It relies heavily on a "show, don't tell" approach to suspense, where a single line in a student's essay or a lingering glance creates more dread than a traditional plot twist.
​The dynamic between Choi Min-sik and Choi Hyun-wook is brilliant—it is a quiet, intellectual tug-of-war where you are never quite sure who is actually control. It is the kind of slow-burn, atmospheric drama that leaves you looking at everyday boundary-crossing a little differently after the credits roll.

10/10 Legendary Tv-Show

10/10 Legendary Tv-Show
This is an all-time great film. This is close to perfection, ! mean it. From top to bottom, everything is perfect. The martial arts and CGI is legendary. I never seen a tv-show with so many great deities and great fighters (never ending top fighters) and it's never a dull moment. Crushed 27 straight episodes in a few days because it's a rarity to find films like this. After films like Side story of Fox Volant, Who rules the world (one of the best female leads) and heavenly sword, I can't think of a film that has consistent martial arts and would exceed pass those mentioned. This is film shoulo be summarized is one word "Perfect"
Trust me, there is never a dull moment, I can't get over how they made this. I wish there were more films like this. I must say that I always love K-drama but oh my, C-drama is making some exceptional films, especially with amazing CGI and stronger female leads. K-Drama needs to take note because it's becoming too predictable now with soapy love helplessness plots like Alcadamy of souls. This film is really a must watch on all levels and it shouldn't be anything less than a 9.4 - this film is a legit 10/10 and is an all time great.
