La Pluie (2023)

Almas... Só?!

Uma série que tinha tudo para ser boa.

Primeiramente o desenvolvimento do casal principal foi rápida demais, a meio da série eu poderia dizer só uma coisa. Ela estava ok, pensei que veria só momentos fofos dos dois, mas não foi isso que aconteceu. E inaceitavelmente, colocaram drama demais.

Sobre as almas gémeas, eu só sei que poderiam ter explorado esse tópico um pouco mais. Por vezes os capítulos nos atiram informação desnecessária e só no próximo é que esclarecem minimamente. Algumas informações são sempre colocadas na mesa, mas o prato vem sempre vazio, e só no fim ou quase no fim da série é que colocam comida no prato. Falando mais precisamente sobre o drama entre o filho... ou melhor... o drama que o filho coloca sobre o divorcio dos pais.

O casal secundários ficou para lá em segundo plano. Eu posso dizer que nem me lembrava da existência dessa série se não fosse o Tien, aquele que eu mais gostei de ver.

E porque as almas gémeas têm que ser sempre namorados? Bem uma série que eu nunca verei... não recomendo de todo. Só para pessoas que querem ver coisas fofas durante alguns capítulos e depois encharcarem-se em drama, que até dá dó.

RAINED ON THEIR OWN PARADE

T'was actually good until they decided to rain on their own parade - and when it rained, it poured.

Started out well. It wasnt perfect but lets say it was light and enjoyable and it was a breath of fresh air compared to the second-rate concurrently aired Thai BL (oh no I will not confirm or deny that I'm talking about Step by Step). The fantasy premise was intriguing and new.

The cast were all perfectly good looking. - i fell in like with Pee, its as if he was plucked from a Korean show and like he is always glowing, I already love Title in My Only 12% and im glad he finally got a starring role (also the main reason why i watched the show). Suar - i just love Suar, he is so lovable as Tian! I loved him im Youre My Sky but here he was even more adorable. Copter is gorgeous! I was also hoping to see more of Dream and although it was too short, her budding romance with Nara looked promising. ! I also appreaciate the fact that to some extent almost no one is made intetntionally annoying.

The pacing is alright, I was actually surprised when the main pairing happened quite quickly in the first few episodes without too much fuzz.

It was a perfect cap off to a busy week. I even considered it a must watch that I even subscribed to Iqiyi after watching the first episode just to see the episode earlier.

Leading to the 7th episode, I get the sense that the series was written a little blandly, and true enough that's when the series turned 180 degrees and decided to check all the tropes. Episode 8 and 9 were acceptable, and then the dreaded obligatory breakup episode 10 and 11 were things turned to crap.

First of all, both Pat and Sengtai's actions leading to the break-up scene were both very out of character, and I strongly feel that they were unnecessarily added just to make it more dramatic.

Second, I'd argue that there are still so many things to explore regarding their relationship and the phenomenon that they were in - I wanted to know more about them being soul mates - what was so special about Tai's family, and all the characters who were given this gift. That alone could be a throve of stories to explore. The makers are marketing it as an almost fantasy series so why didn't they sell us that mystery. And oh my, do I need to emphasize my jaw-dropping annoyance in one scene where one shout literally rid them of their connection to their soulmates.

I couldn't buy the soul-mate thing of Tai's parents. I just cant see the chemistry between them, and to be honest, the reason for their separation doesn't feel huge enough to break an enchanted love.

I am also sad that they ruined Lomfon.

Lastly, the last episode was so uneventful and uninspiring that I almost didn't finish it. I can't even fathom why they spent quite a long time with the new couple - what's the connection to the overall plot. They got more screen time than Patt in the finale, they even have their own flashback scene. And when the leads finally meet again, did you also notice how blank Patt's face is?

Against everything I hated, I also loved a lot of things. Overall its an uneventful 7 for me. Will I re-watch - not a chance.
