an actually MEANINGFUL BL! Hard to find!
I was very pleasantly surprised with this show. Something I found with this show compared to many other Thai BLs is the fact that they balanced almost everything really really well. Almost all of the characters were well-rounded, it had a subplot commentary on protesting and justice which was very interesting and also very well thought out, the music was good (!!!), and the romance was good, not too much or too little. The only things I would change is I found the ending to be a little rushed (I heard there was some production budget issues or something), but it wasn't anything too terrible. I also found that some of the characters lacked backstory/felt a little flat.Another thing I loved about this story!! The female characters weren't annoying!! They weren't just there to bother us!! They felt like real people!!!! With their own lives separate to the main characters!!! very impressive for a BL lmao.
I found the premise really really interesting and this was a very well put together show. Good camera work, good acting, solid plot line, overall very solid. In terms of Thai BLs, the quality of this show is fantastic. I absolutely would recommend.

Be the change you want to see in the world
I loved everything about this one. The political aspects and little jabs at things that are happening, the characters that have deep reasoning for what they are doing, the development of said characters, the pacing, the oh-so-beautifully-placed soundtrack, the actors displaying each emotion so beautifully that it made my heart ache along with them... I could go on about why i loved every second of this series, but all i got to say is: Go watch it, you will not regret it. The production team did a great job and to say that they were brave to put this out would be nothing but the entire truth.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

fight for love and peace
Not gonna lie, i watch it because of offgun but i wasn't disappointed!Gun acting is still on point as ever.
The storyline is completely different with what they have done before in a good way.
It was surprisingly good!!
I am in love with the scene under the LGBTQ+ flag, everything was perfect in that scene.
The two twins were really distinctible for one another thanks to gun's acting.
I also really loved how the actors really portrayed the evolution of the feelings through their eyes!!!

Not only a BL romance but foremost an action drama providing some actual societal criticism
Most of the BL dramas I saw focus primarily on the romance between the characters and have for background a set up providing some narrative arcs around school projects, youth clubs or business prospects. Some might incorporate fights as well as a way to show off some cool gang scenes. "Not Me" takes here another direction with a story not just centred on romance but approaching societal topics such as social inequality, injustice, LGBTQ+ rights and how Art can be a way to criticize societal issues. Action scenes are intrinsic to the plot as a way to discuss how to make society change either through demonstrations or even violence to make a point.The chemistry between the 2 main leads is great and totally believable, their relationship is building up gradually, it is a very good slow-burn. The twins plot is overall well acted and is a good twist to the romance, as it brings up a lot of angst and thrills to the development of the relationship. Overall acting of the secondary characters was pretty good with the exception of maybe some less enticing adults and enemies roles.
The production and directing are not the best: some jumping action sequences are too over-the-top to make sense, as well as some of the fighting scenes which are bit too cheap with some of the blood / make-up appearing rather fake. The editing is also sometimes all over the place with a few abrupt cuts making some of the narration kind of choppy.
Despite this, the drama remains all along highly entertaining and even riveting at some point as the plot unveil itself. The OST is really pleasant to listen to, not to overpowering and pretty balanced with the show.
I would recommend this to people looking for a more serious action packed story with some angsty BL relationships and a well-executed slow burn romance.

Mi serie tailandesa favorita
Muy muy buena. Oda al activismo social y crítica al sistema neoliberal capitalista. Una obra que llama a la acción del pueblo, a la protesta mediante el arte y a la creación de comunidad.Más allá de los temas sociales que trata la trama es interesantísima y bien escrita. Te engancha de principio a fin, te sorprende con numerosos plot twists y te deja maquinando teorías sobre los siguientes capítulos. Recomiendo verla de a poco, no del tirón, para tener tiempo de pensar en qué puede estar pasando. El misterio es muy bueno.
La cinematografía es buena con algunas escenas icónicas.
En la actuación destacar el impresionante trabajo de Gun Atthapan Phunsawat.
En la revisualización le di un 9 de 10 porque cuando ya sabes todos los misterios solo es ver a los personajes dar vueltas hasta que lo descubren ellos. Es más divertido cuando no tienes ni idea de lo que está pasando. Aun así se disfruta mucho la relación entre personajes a los que se les coge mucho cariño.
La única escena que no me gustó demasiado fue la de la toalla del episodio 3 porque me parece que bebe mucho del cliché BL y no pega con la seriedad de esta producción. Aún así es divertida y disfrutable, solo me sacó un poco de onda.

AMAZING BUT ANTI-CLIMACTIC
A quick reviewThe entire show was great. The last episode just didn’t do it for me as most of the action was skipped. The issue didn’t really get resolved properly and I wanted more action in the last episode.
The acting was perfect. The music too, most of the story was entertaining. The four guys did great and had friendship chemistry as well. It felt like it also could have been a non romance as well. Guns two character performance was also great,
Eugine was a very annoying character. Her romance with Gram felt very forced and I just didn’t support it. Still a minor thing though.

OffGun
So I might sound bais, and I do believe that I might be bais, but offgun was really whole reason show was really good to me. The story was absolutely amazing, as well as acting.The story really had me in a choke hold cause I was really invested in who attacked Black. The romance part of the show also pulled me in cause offgun, as well as the side couple.
Well anyway my review needs to be longer. Um, I really like how they had the twins look, the angles they did was amazing with that. Although I wish they did the thing they did in Liv and Maddie, but I'm not complaining that much. I'm just saying stuff so I can post this review

Who hated this show? Not Me!!!
Okay... For the life of me, I don't understand why I put off watching this show. I am not too much into political dramas, so I kept postponing this one for the same reason I delayed watching Vincenzo and Revenge of Others... I was not sure I will like it. Then I watched Senior Secret Love (both parts) and Theory of Love. Something about OffGun clicked, and Pride Month started, so I said okay.. How bad can it be?That I was pleasantly surprised is an an understatement. I was completely mesmerised by the sheer storyline, the cinematography, the acting... Everything just blew me.
Story: usually GMM TV has the habit of ruining great premises with weak execution, but Not Me does not have that flaw. A brilliant story, designed to keep you on the edge of your seat, and keep you waiting for more. The director went all out to perfectly balance the glaring dystopia in our world with the utopian world that our leaders want to present. I think that was really well done. The story felt real because it was steeped in reality. All of us have faced discrimination at some point and there are many idealists as well as rebels amongst us, who wish to change the face of the society we live in.
Acting: Kudos, I mean seriously kudos to the person who decided the cast. Mond as Gram and First as Yok simply blew my mind. Both the girls were cast well, and for a change, were not cruel, manipulative bitches out for revenge! But in my honest opinion, it was Off as Sean and Gun as Black/White that made me just go crazy in love. What was completely unexpected was the actual change in Sean's eyes and behaviour as he started falling for White(who for him was Black at that point). I must talk here about the scenes with the trust falls, their kisses and that first time they had... How Gun talks about the beating heart made me feel like it was mine that was beating. I also have to talk about the scene where Sean confesses to who he thinks is his 'Black' but is actually the real one. The helplessness is Sean's eyes when the actual Black beats him up made me want to pick him up and tuck him in bed! And OffGun... Please come back with more, I beg of you!
Music: Everlast by Will van de Crommert is my Pride Anthem... It is now on loop in my Spotify and I keep listening to it. Other songs are also great... The closing thème by OffGun is definitely worth a listen. Songs are placed well and don't take away from the beauty of the show at all!
Re-watch value: 10000/10... Even more... I have already re-watched it like 3 or 4 times, and every time I find something new that catches my interest. So definitely go for it!!
Recommendation: strongly recommend you guys to watch this one... I think I can safely say that this one is one of the masterpieces of 2022!!

Chemistry offgun di era 2020+
Menceritakan tentang manusia kembar bernama "black" dan "white" yang punya latar belakang kehidupan yang berbeda, "Black" adalah seorang yang bersikap keras, penuh dengan tantangan, sangat maskulin dan berani menanggung resiko. Sedangkan, White adalah orang yang kebalikannya - hal ini membuat black punya banyak musuh dan masalah, suatu waktu Black diserang oleh sekelompok orang yang membuatnya dirawat di rumah sakit karena koma, saat itulah saudaranya white menggantikan peran Black, dapatkan White mengganti peran dan wataknya? terlebih Black punya teman-teman yang punya karakter yang sama dengannya, apakah White bisa bergabung di dalam grup pertemanan Black dan berpura-pura menjadi Black seutuhnya? saksikan series ini. Dari segi dialog awalnya aku agak kesulitan ya dalam memahami alur ceritanya, namun perlahan anda akan sadar betapa menariknya cerita series ini, romansa dan adegannya menurutku menegangkan ya ; pesona Gun Attaphan yang dapat memerankan dua karakter sekaligus memang sudah tidak aneh ya ; sejak The Gifted dia pernah melakukannya, dan anda akan merasakannya lagi di series ini, dari segi karakter- menurutku sangat bagus ya, penokohannya menurutku bagus dan sangat berkarakter, dengan latar kehidupan yang berarti. Dari segi konflik, agak berat ya menurutku, resolusinya cenderung berbelit-belit dengan orientasi yang terlalu lama, Series ini menurut saya bukan hanya sekedar series romantis OffGun saja namun lebih dari itu - series ini punya cerita lain yang lebih kuat daripada sekedar romansa, rekomendasi banget terutama untuk penonton setia Theory Of Love Series.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Review
I relay like this storyline it’s very interesting. The storyline is also very different from other bl’s I’ve watched. It reminds me a bit of Manner of Death but at the same time not. The acting is of course amazing since it’s Off and Gun. I also really like the other actors they’re great as well. It’s just an overall amazing series I would definitely recommend, so if you’re a little interested please try watching. Believe me it’s soooo worth it. Now remember this isn’t your a normal bl series so if you’re looking for maybe try another bl there are many great ones.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
