So, I just finished watching this drama,, I did it over two times watching 12 episodes at a time since they are short its easy to get through, so honestly, it was a pretty decent watch. It had some really good push-and-pull dynamics between the leads, which was probably the biggest thing that kept me watching. Their chemistry was good. It wasn't amazing but it was good, a lot of tension and angst. So the two actually hurt each other a bit but I can deal with that. The chemistry made it be good enough that it got me slowly invested in the remaining part of the story.

The whole dynamic is a well what would I call it I don't just kinda weird in a way but alas when you take into account that she starts out wanting revenge, only to eventually develop real feelings for him. For the most part, it follows a pretty standard “she’s faking it, he falls hard first, and eventually she falls in love too” kind of storyline. Nothing particularly mew or anything but well its okay minor details, but it was done well enough that I didn't felt like dropping it.

I don’t usually watch these types of dramas normally, so this was a little outside my comfort zone, but I ended up really enjoying the couple of hours it took me to get through it. It’s definitely not a perfect drama or one I will ever rewatch, but it was entertaining enough to keep me watching until the end, and sometimes that’s all I really need from a show. Keep me entertained long enough that I don't drop it and it can slowly get me into the story.

The origin of all Engineers in BL

This is one of the classics of Thai BL so it’s a must watch for fans of the genre. You could say SOTUS paved the way for engineers falling in love as well as cute boys drinking pink milk.
This series might seem a little update nowadays, but it is still a good rewatchable story between and senior and junior that can’t stand each other at first and then slowly see through their differences and eventually fall in love. Emphasis on it being a slow romance, the first kiss does not happen til 10+ episodes and somehow it’s still an enjoyable story since there’s some stories and subplots in between.

A beautiful heart break!

So I refused to watch this series for a while now because I could smell the heartbreaking ending from milestone away and yet I couldn't resist anymore. I was in melancholy mood and this series hit the spot.

1. The story:
Ok let's be clear about one thing here! This is not your typical BL story. It is a love story between two people who happens to be two men. They have love, intimacy and everything in between but just in their own way. There isn't a single kiss and only occasional hugs and that alone was enough to portray the love they have between them.

2. The acting:
What can I say except you're welcome! (Hahah sorry about that terrible joke.) The actors gave their 110% for the role. Especially the leads. The way they showed the characters emotions just through small gestures is awesome and in my opinion not everyone can pull it off and they did it perfectly.

3. The ending:
I know I know a lot of us wants a good ending for us queers and I am totally with that but here me out. This ending is heartbreakingly beautiful that not everyone can pull off. A happy ending is most desirable and even would have been good. But the ending they had was beautiful in their own way and each of them staying in eachother's story until the end was so precious.

4. Why should you watch?
If you are craving something different or even little sad story with a slice of life of a god's most unfavourite child then go for it. Even if you are not craving that I suggest you prepare yourself with your comfy blanket, ton of tissues and popcorn and go on a binging spree. It is worth every year you shed.

Is this what the kids are upto these days?

It's ok so far. There is not much of a plot to speak of. One of those generic GMM productions. I might sound like a hater at this point, but I genuinely do love most of the performers & I want them to get better.

William & Est are trying their best, but this just feels too mature for them. I love their banter and dynamics. Their chemistry is excellent. It feels like this premise requires more experienced actors. It's ike they are trapped between wanting it to be serious or funny. It's just messy in the end. It does look promising & I hope it gets better.

Too deep in thoughts maybe...

The vision for the plot is there. Like, I get it? But they don't explain it well enough. A lot of things are just left hanging. There's no proper opening, buildup, or closure whatsoever. It's more like BOOM, "I like you" "sex" "I love you" "it's you or none" "idc about anyone else." I get where this is going, but the journey there was just not developed enough.

Shu Yuan's acting is very versatile, and I find his acting as "Gao Zhun" feels waayy more immersive and convincing compared to "Zhang Zhun." Also, the cinematography for the "Deep in" play is SOOOO GOOD. The transitions and all really make it feel like I'm watching two dramas at once.

A perverted psycho but WHO AM I TO JUDGE??

The plot was good tbh. It wasn't going how I would imagine it to be, but at least it's not some mainstream plot. I actually liked that it took a different direction from what I expected, and the story had enough going on to keep me interested.

Huang Xing's acting is really good, like you can see the stark difference of two personalities, the little changes in his expressions and mannerisms. But the other leads' acting doesn't feel "soulful" enough, and I'll just burst out laughing cuz sometimes they're just hootin' and hollering out their lines.

The main leads are just so pleasant to look at throughout the series. The only downside is that the production VFX is tacky for me, it feels like I'm watching Ultraman from the early 2000s.

Sweetness in Many Relationship Forms, Amazing PACING

BEST PARTS:
CHARACTERS AND ALL THE RELATIONSHIPS
PACING of the drama really 10/10, NEVER BORING.



I'm a Romance Fanatic.
So it came to a great suprise how much not just the Romnaces but ALL the various forms of relationships where so fun and sweet to watch.

Completed watching the whole drama now.

Can't agree with the people who thinks the drama went downhill in latter parts.

To me this drama was very solid from start to end,
so with minor flaws,
I'll give a final rating of 9/10.


THE MINOR FLAWS:
The only thing which bothersome about the latter parts where how everyone's problems magically got solved, due to Plot about to end.
So some final storylines should've STARTED SOONER, so writer didn't have to pull a last minute magical solution. 😅

I mean, really one person JUST HAPPENED to do X, which automatically could help another character Y.
....Great solutions just jump into the arms of every person suddenly, without any prober buildup.
It was obvious Writer suddenly in a Rush simply to wrap things up. 😅

Also the FL written as too flakey suddenly, prompting illgical story to fix her flakiness.

.....But overall ,9/10 is very excellent drama. 👍
The characters were always multidimensional and growth happened, even when slow or 2 steps foward but one step back moments for some; later on they still grew then. Or they grew in one area of self development, while still being their lower selves in another area, only to later grow in another area or step back in another etc.

The best part, Beside all the Romantic and Family and friends relationships;
is the amazing Flow of the drama, I was NEVER ONCE Bored and could watch ep after ep!

A Faiiled System...

The movie was a good watch, the actors and their acting were all on point. I wanted to be emotionally invested but I said no, it is not worth it and I will say why it isn't for me. It focuses more on the lives of those who suffers the brutality, the aches that even time could not heal, the reality of how some does not just care after destroying another person's world and carry on like they did nothong but karma is real anyways, their lives is not sth to wish for from afar. In as much as the movie was good, I felt like the police were dumb, the entire force including the prosecutor. Following the evidences closely while watching, I already figured out Kibeom is the culprit, but when the incidence with sun young happened, I said it will likely be Kihwan, in the first place, who predicted the blood group to be B cause that was what make Tae Joo thought otherwise, however, evidences still points at him yet he was not figured out, why do they thing the 7th case was by another killer, it is easy to assume that it was the same killer that did it due to his frustration that he neither could kill sunyoung nor Ji woo and that they escaped, he just needed to murder someone and that was what make the 7th case different but no, it is easier to assume it was Imseok. And don't let me get stated about Imseok, which kind of love is so blind that your sister cannot stand for you when you needed her the most, all because of her other family, that was why i did not pity him, he chose to spend his 30 years in prison by telling his sister not to be his witness about his whereabout that day and his sister is not just a sister by following suit, cause he would have been found not guilty if he had an alibi for that night. Therefore, in as much as his story was pitiful, I fast forward it cause I cannot come and cry, if a sibling do so for me in real life, I will cut all ties asap, that is not family, it is just a relationship of convenience. I almost cry for Ki Beom but I hold it when he hid his brothers crime. More victims could have been avoided if he corrected Tae Joo that it wasn't him that followed Min Ju to give her umbrella but Ki Hwan, all the pieces would have fixed then. He trying to save his brother because of their mother, it is heartwarming and selfish at the same time cause a killer will always be a killer, does he think him promising not to kill Sun Young was what spared her, is he not even scaed that one day, he will murder his wife or their entire family, this guy is a psycopath for crying out loud and he proove it by killing him first, to me, it was not the abuse that kill Ki Beom but Ki Hwan cause he could have been taking to the hospital the moment he found out he might not make it but he left him until life left him. Don't get me started on SiYoung, his brother and the corrupt Police officials including his friend who was always on his beck and call, his father, all power hungry people trying to save their own skin, brteayals, betraying their oaths to climp the ladder by nook or crook. When Tae Joo went to meet Si Young and he saw what supposedly to be a funeral a party, where connections are made, it was the highlight, oh, this is how people are. Somebody just died, somebody just fucking loose his life and you are all to be blame, while is the guilt not eating you, why are you not reflecting, an innocent person died because of the decision you all connived to directly or indirectly and Ki Hwan, ah! Fake tears, you kill your brother man. Yea, I am not writing annoyingly, it was actually annoying but I appreciate the writing cause it depict an aspect of reality either I accept it or not. And their his Tae Joo, For every of his decision, I never blamed him, although his wrong call did a lot of dirty to innocent people but the innocent people people made some emotional wrecking decisions too and did not help matters at some point, I did not blame him cause he made the decision after careful thought, plus and minus, evidence tracing. However, I blamed him when he left that town and stopped finding the killer, because of the promise he made, ohh, so a promise could hold you back, just a promise for the whole of 30 years until you were requested by the killer. And that self centered family, how could they demand sth for saving their own daughter and sister, what the hell, so if he did not ask and begged, you all would have left Sun Young to die, and I still dont know why Sun Young did not later find out so she can know the so call father she wanted to rely on is not a father, the person that seek her inorder for the whole saga of illegitimate daughter should affect his political ambition. I was quite sure the killer was not caught, he just surrendered when he got tired of killing. And Jiwon, she trust her friends so much, I thought the rule of finding a guilty person is to suspect every other person except for you, she could have detected it was Ki Hwan when Ki Hwan told him he relocated to the next town, and she also knows Tae Joo who was transferred to that villlage came back because their was a murder with same pattern of the killer, especially the fact that Ki Hwan was once suspected, And nobody, nobody in that entire movie vexed me like Ki Hwan, man you can't be helped, you are a lost cause, Did you guys know I can't understand while he is being treated like he is some high mighty in the prison, why is he even treated as a human being, only him, he has schedule, he has who and who he will open mouth and talk to , he even has mind to be requesting and even that Tae Joo, if he was not requested, he will keep on carrying baggage. Justice was not served and even truth was not revealed, all for a promise he made, besides, the ending was so abrupt, accident from no where just to hide the police incompetencies especially Tae Joo, and shows the killer aptness. Somebody they are supposed to beat every single day, they will not kill him ooo, he will just be mincing in pain that he will wish for death but they won't kill him, give him such torture that will be what is suffering since he does not felt a morsel of remorse whatsoever for the victims, his reason were so nonsentical. I was frightening them at first, I felt so important as they become a scared, a stone started it all. She was passing by, she was smiling so brightly, I felt nothingness but seeing her smile awake sth in me, like... that is your reason dor killing a 8 year old girl Hye Joon, guy, you don't need help, you need hell. And that actor, he acted it so well that he was vexing me every second he is acting and they are now all treating him like some god. At then end of the day, everybody made a selfish decision, there were no real friends, only frienimies, the ones that are ready to sell their loyalty to save their skin, and I love the fact that till the very end, they all stood by the decisions they made with no regrets. Si Young said, I am a principled man, i followed my prionciple to Young Beom who he considered as a son, Sun Young, he treated me right, I did not regret going to my father. Even the Young cops that was once justice driven but now bend rules, Tae Joo did not view him as a bad person, he is just a man who was lost in the system he found himself, if a better environment was presented, he would have turned out better. Like Minju said, Tae Joo should catch the culprit cause hosnestly, I fel the rest are all dimwiths that the whole town would be wiped out before they were able to catch the culprit. But then, Tae Joo make decision for his sister, and left, Ki Beom make decision for his family and hid his brother, Im Seok make decion for his siter to not be questioned in her new family and went to jail, the youg cop his the truth about Hye Jun to not forfeit his promotion and serve his mother as he was the only son... So who is right and who is wrong, Nobody, Just Individuals making decioson that best suit them at a point in time.

I like the ending, the dream. What would have happend if it were otherwise, the whole town suffered cause of a failed system. People who find themselves in a failed system they never chose to be and the emotional baggage they carried as years went by, baggage that even time could not heal. And a failed system are still in some part of the world today, not the murder situation but many others.

A solid CBL

Great plot, however I do prefer the pacing and storytelling in Mo Dao Zu Shi (the animated ver) better. The slow burn is really giving, especially with the lack of outright romantic relationship.

I also felt that WWX's character was more dense in The Untamed, but in MDZS, he's smarter, brilliant, charming, aloof, and so on. And from there, there's the stark difference when he transitions into a person who does unspeakable crimes. That way, the contrast makes his character development and the overall plot in MDZS easier to understand.

Anyhow, the drama is still very much worth watching. You definitely need to watch it for the complete BL experience!

Incredible Drama with Unforgettable Performances!

I have been watching The Early Spring up to Episode 19, and I am completely blown away! This is NOT your typical office romance drama—it feels so much more grounded, mature, and intense.
Jing Boran gives a phenomenal performance as the male lead. He doesn't even need words—his eyes say everything. His intense micro-expressions, every gaze, and every emotion conveyed through his eyes are just unforgettable. He has nailed every single detail of his character!
​Sun Qian is brilliant as the female lead. Her portrayal of a strong, stubborn, and resilient character is so natural and captivating. She brings so much strength and personality to the screen.
​The dynamic between Jing Boran and Sun Qian keeps me glued to the screen every single episode. A huge shoutout to the director and the entire production team for making every episode up to Episode 19 so compelling. I cannot wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds!
