Oportunidade Colorida (2024)

A Goodday is a Good Show.

Wandee Goodday. I think it is time to talk about Wandee Goodday and I will have to admit that this show does have a special role in my heart now because it felt so pure and nice to watch. I know I used the word pure to describe this show but I am not referring to how steamy some scenes are. I think I am mostly referring to the love that they have for each other. The story is a bit simple. It is a story about two people who met on a random one-night stand. Wandee provided medical care to Yoryak earlier but they do not really know each other but Wandee was really drunk and got rejected by the man that he is pining for eight years so he is devastated by this. This resulted to them being friends with benefits but the relationship moved from that to being fake boyfriends until they finally have a real relationship instead. This is the trajectory of the relationship and I will say that this is a mature outing from GMMTV considering that this is like my first time seeing so many sex scenes in their shows. Yes, it is not as intense as the other channels but it is there and I just want to really highlight that. Yoryak is played by Great Sapol and Wandee is played by Inn Sarin. This is a pair of extremely good-looking guys and they are sexy. They are sexy………. I mean, we have so many shirtless scenes of them and I have never thanked GMMTV for this. They are so sexy and the necklace kiss was so hot but, at the same time, I feel like the relationship of Wandee and Yoryak really started as a good relationship since they started with being friends. They are so supportive of each other and they are really doing things for their dreams. I feel like the show had a romance at the center but the goals of the characters is what really pushed the story forward. Wandee really wanted to get the scholarship abroad and he is competing with Dr. Ter whom he had a longtime crush. It started out as a revenge plan but he took it more seriously as the story went on. By the way, Dr. Ter is played by Pod who is the one big sexy who starred in a really bad BL before so it is nice to see him again in the genre. He had one shirtless scene when we can benefit with so much more but I like how he is gradually becoming a good character at the end. I knew he was a good boy but had some bad decisions along the way but I can understand him. He mentored Wandee but he still got the scholarship. I like that they went through an interesting phase in this story but still ended up being friends. Wandee’s storyline is about opening himself up to the idea of love once again after getting his heart broken. It might seem like a simple thing to do but I have to give it to them for really trying their best to make it work while Yoryak wants to be a world champion while overcoming the guilt of missing his mother’s last few days. His storyline had a good heart in it and the presentation of this story worked well in the story because we got to see him really fight for it and the relationship. I feel like Wandee fell in love first but Yoryak fell harder for him as the story went on. It is a good way to really set things up for the characters because they had a good start. It was rocky but they were still able to handle the storyline and the characters well that it did not feel mushy or stupid at all. I am quite impressed with how they also used the supporting characters. We have Dr. Kao who is asexual and opened up about this. We have the storyline of Yei and Cher which involved a wedding and it expanded on the family storyline of Yoryak. I love the relationship of Yoryak and Yei as siblings. It felt so loving and honest. We also got good information about HPV vaccination and I like that the show highlighted that. I feel like they also have a good message that they are trying to share to people and used their platform well for it. I really do think that this is an amazing show and I might add that the episode titles were presented really. I feel like they are a bit disregarded but we really had good visuals and stories from the show. I would love another show from Great and Inn because they really have a good chemistry. It is undeniable.

The Best Chemistry, No Matter What

This drama starts off with an incredibly entertaining first episode. The chemistry between the lead actors, Great and Inn, is fantastic.

The storyline is somewhat predictable from the beginning and doesn't have dramatic twists that deeply move the audience. However, this is because the two main characters make an effort to have proper conversations and genuinely understand each other.

I dislike the common trope in BL dramas where misunderstandings occur because one character doesn't listen to the other. It's unnatural. Often, this behavior is used to force drama into the story, but viewers aren't foolish. Therefore, I appreciated that, although there are a few quarrels between the leads, they resolve them quickly by explaining things properly.

In the end, everything wraps up a bit too conveniently, and a little more complexity would have been nice.

Nonetheless, pairing Great and Inn together is already a masterpiece. If you want to see the best chemistry, you should watch it right away.

FWB + fake dating = spicy disastrous recipe for love or?

High Points:
* Eye-Catching Visuals: Stunning retro-futuristic cinematography creates a captivating world.
* Natural Rapport: The leads' real-life friendship translates to effortless on-screen chemistry, creating a charmingly easygoing dynamic.
* Healthy Relationship Goals: The series depicts a heartwarming relationship built on open communication and mutual respect.
* Steamy Yet Censored: The NC scenes, while censored, manage to be steamy and deliver a level of intimacy that is considered risqué by GMMTV's standards.
* Scene-Stealing Couple: The adorable side couple is a highlight, found myself being captivated by them more the main couple.
* Representation Matters: Wandee Goodday takes a commendable step forward in representation by incorporating asexuality, internalized homophobia, and the importance of safe sex practices into its narrative.

Low Points:
* Flat Characters: Some characters lack depth, hindering their impact on the story.
* Unexplored Backstory: Unresolved trauma and plot contrivances leave viewers with unanswered questions.
* Family Drama Fizzle: Major family drama is resolved too easily with simple communication and financial aid.
* Pacing Problems: The story drags in later episodes, failing to maintain its initial intrigue.
* Tamed Narrative: The promised intense drama is absent, replaced by a predictable and overly sweet storyline.
* Undeserved Redemption: The antagonist receives a rushed and unearned redemption arc, complete with an unexpected romantic partner.

Overall:
Wandee Goodday captivates viewers in its first half with stunning visuals, relatable characters, and refreshing themes. However, the latter half suffers from a slowing pace, underdeveloped plot elements, and a shift towards a sugar-coated narrative typical of GMMTV productions. Despite these shortcomings, the series remains a light and entertaining watch, particularly for fans who appreciate the lead actors' dynamic.

Another wasted potential to be great 🥲

Not What I Expected

Sadly this series did not live up to my expectations from Great and Inn. Perhaps after watching the trailer and having both actors being older- Great (30) Inn(29), I was expecting a more mature series with less juvenile feel to the series.

I get the wait for being boyfriend until kissing but if that’s the best two grown men can deliver in their first kiss, I am just disappointed. All the sex scenes lack heat for a couple who were supposedly fvck buddies. The director definitely decided to put a PG-13 stamp on cleaning the series up so it isn’t too risqué.

I mean come on, Dr. Planko’s sexy toys are cutesy costumes for cosplay. What about real sex toys like vibrators, sex dolls amd dildos.

The acting was meh for two actors who had showing they have acting chop.

I like Great and Inn but this isn’t a good series for their talent.

excellent, though you can see the ropes

The word for this is HOT... The two ML's are hot together, end of. If you are looking for something more abt this drama, like villains or conflict or anything - there is not much to it. It's just one - or even two! - gay couples that come up with hot stuff, and thats it! We have role-play, innuendo, teasing, flirting, naked bodies - and i mean, ripped bodies!, power struggle - you name it.
Oh and there is also some comedic relief to the sexual tension... I guess the director was afraid to handle the 18+ content in a mature way so he turned to this trick instead.
Rewatch? Why not? Its funny and... wink wink. Sex sells!

Addicting

Everything about this drama so far is delicious! The plot. The actors. The acting. The pace. Yes, yes, yes and yes. The chemistry is natural and comforting, and the characters are all around likable and funny. This drama is one of my favorites this year!
I genuinely cannot express how well this drama and the acting is. I love a fake relationship plot but I love even more that unlike other shows I’ve watched, or books I’ve read where the main characters usually are indifferent with each other or using each other simply because of convenience, our main leads enjoy each others company and as the audience can tell, they are quite smitten with each other.

Finally! Another awesome BL!

When GMMTV announced their part 1 announcement for the year 2024, not gonna lie, only two series caught my attention. One was 'My Golden Blood' and the next one was 'Wandee Goodday.' They both seemed interesting, and I was excited to see these actors (Fluke from 'My Golden Blood' and Inn from 'Wandee Goodday') in a new series.

I adore this series so much, as it had basically everything that i want from a BL. Good acting, good storyline, great OST, no dreaded eleventh episode, being able to solve an issue between them quickly were some of the things that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was also very informative in things in life that a lot of BL's don't really talk about. And yes, it started off steamy (with them being friends with benefits/ being in a fake boyfriend relationship) and ended up so sweet (with them actually being boyfriends) that you felt like you will go into a diabetic shock. But that's just how I like it!

I enjoyed waiting to watch this series over the twelve weeks that I know I am going to miss waiting to see any new episodes. Inn and Great did a terrific job and I do hope that they get the opportunity to star in more BL's together. That being said, I'm giving this series a 9.5- only because there were some side characters I couldn't stand and still can't stand, although they kind of got their little redemption at the end of this series. I would most definitely recommend this series to others.
