Kiseki Chapter 2 (2024)

Just..... No.

Straight to the point "Review" ---- I thought this show had some slight potential to be a somewhat okay show, plot wise. Sure the acting isn't fantastic, it's both a little stiff and overdramatic at times, but they're all somewhat newbies so we'll let that slide.....

But then the end of episode 3 happened - and after doing a little reseach and realising that it's an 9NAA production... it explains everything to me 😐

They did a good job at hiding the fact it was a 9NAA production (i only ever saw posters with Viu on it) otherwise I wouldn't have started it as I had vowed not to watch any 9NAA productions after the stuff that happened with Checkout the series and with Best and Cheque - and after checking out the bts vid for this episode it just confirmed my feelings for me, because they *once again* didn't seem to have any intimacy coordination prior to their NC scenes (it happened with Checkout too) and the crew seemed to be joking about the fact they should just get naked too so the actors would feel comfortable.

Also, I can handle some weird stuff, but the fact that they made ACTUAL twins lick each others nipples was weird af to me. Why not just hire actors that look similar to play the twins? I could then *maybe* deal with it that way but not when I know that they are actual twins.

Definitely dropping this one. Will be continuing my stance on not supporting 9NAA shows in the future because they do not seem like a company who has their actors welfare as a top priority. No wonder other companies have pulled out of collabs with them and all their actors leave the second their contractually allowed too.

Director needs training

Dropped: Unable to continue watching.

2 CPs, scene started in Japan for location. Great location setting that gives viewer a look of Japan.
first 10 minutes is truly nothing worth watching. It was mostly nonsense chat. Scene transition isn't smooth on most. Acting by actors - I felt like watching a HS freshman school play. However, I believe this is on Director's shoulder. A good & talented director would only film an acceptable, good and excellent depiction of character/s. An artist will continue the way they act if they aren't told to correct or improve. Sadly, the artists are the ones who gets the judgment. The finish product was allowed by the executive producer.

I have to commend the production staff and the artists for their effort and work for this series. I may revisit this series later and start watching mid series to see if there's a reason to edit this review and rating.

a travel ad with very explicit scenes (watch suggestions)

Overall: this had very slow pacing and then some of the most explicit NSFW scenes that I have ever seen from Thailand. Note that this has nothing to do with the Taiwanese BL Kiseki Dear To Me, also there isn't a chapter 1 (there was supposed to be but an actor left the company). There will apparently be a special episode with 1 of the couples. Aired on Viu (need to VPN to Thailand) and GagaOOLala. Later re-aired on 9NAA's YouTube channel (cut free to watch, uncut for channel members). The production company 9NAA also made: Venus In The Sky, Check Out, Skinship and I Am Your King.

Watch Suggestions (unless you like a lot of eating, drinking, taking pictures and singing/guitar playing)
- read the synopsis
- skip episode 1
- episode 2 watch 8-12, 16-24, 28-31 and 33:30 to the end
- episode 3 watch 19-25, 40:25-45:40, 50 minutes to the end
- skip episode 4 (unless you want to learn about Japanese bathhouses which is in the 2nd half)
- episode 5 watch 22-24:30 (very NSFW) and 27:50-31 (very NSFW)
- episode 6 watch 22-24 and 27-30:30, could also watch the last few minutes

What I Liked
- centered on 4 characters with an easy to understand premise
- twins as lead characters
- the scene where a character splashed water on his face and pretended to be happy/smile
- the actors did a good job with their explicit scenes, they used some tongue which was realistic

Room For Improvement
- slow pacing, a lot of time spent hugging trees, singing, drinking, eating and taking pictures
- an actor said that they were totally naked in their NSFW scenes which made me worry about how comfortable they were (and apparently the director said he'd go naked to make them comfortable but that sounded more like a threat than being helpful), however, we saw a cord around 1 actor's waist, I'd rather they let the actors wear underwear and use creative angles/shots because the viewer's imagination could fill in the rest; update, the cord might be something religious (let me know if anyone knows more about this)
- wanted them to move from the stairs to a bedroom and I wanted to know what the character was going to say
- toilet humor/scenes
- in episode 3 I wish they hadn't shown a character as extremely drunk before what happened
- they didn't take out the chapter 2 from the title when chapter 1 might never air or if it does it would air after chapter 2

What was that?

Was this a tourist ad or should it be a soft porn?
I have no idea... there was not much of a story, there was not really much of emotion, there was stiff acting, there was fan service.
The only upside are the nice places in Tokyo, otherwise this was very forgetful. At least it was not as a pain to watch compared to other series last year.. because besides some sex scenes not much happend at all. No idea why you spend money on such a production, because this could not have been that cheap, even when the actors didn't get much payment.
So, if you have not watched it, just skip it otherwise I feel your pain.

PS.: Dear MyDramaList Admins, why can't we vote with a 0? The rewatch value of this "show" is non existent, even a 1 is too much.
PPS.: Why there is a 6.5 rating overall I really, really have no clue...

Was this even a drama?

I don't know what happened. Like seriously. Wtf was this.

When I started watching, I had some hope. The camera seemed nice, lightning and all that stuff were all right. And boy then it happened. The acting and screenplay itself. Like yeah, Japan is interesting, but I just felt like i was watching an add or a boring af vlog.

Listen, I watched a LOT of dramas, but this was not a drama. Where was the plot? Where was the actual drama?

I thought that maybe, atleast the spicy scenes will be good. I was wrong. Zero chemistry, zero vibes and 100% p*rn. I am sorry, it is, what it is. I didn't feel any love, or at least tension. I also didn't like the way these scenes were made. I guess the romance and some basic sense left the room. Don't expect any kind of cool, moody lightning, nice bed, slow kisses and a lot of passion. You will get none of that.

Honestly, I was just wondering wtf am I watching. I would have dropped the series, but I stayed for P. He was the only person, that I was willing to watch. He acted the best out of those four. And we can't deny that he is handsooome!

Overall, I did NOT like this series. It was really irritating and I wasted my time for nothing.

Don't be fooled by the title...

I'm not a person to drop a drama/series, especially a bl, but in this case I have to.
Honestly I don't have a single good thing to say about this series.
The acting is very bad, the story is just...yeah! It's also badly filmed!
The whole thing is very idiotic and cringe.
Too bad I can't rate it 0, or even -1...
As for the title, I think it's pretty much an insult to the Taiwanese series "Kiseki: Dear to Me".
I know that they are not related, but still it feels incredibly insulting even that they have the same name(almost)

This is gonna be the second bl I'm dropping!

Might never watch it again

Okay so here me out, it had potential.
I think if it was directed by someone else then maybe it'd be better. I mean, which director in their right mind would make two brothers lick each other's nipples?!!
The story and the acting were okay but I think the best parts of the show were the NC scenes.
Do have to admit that the ending was a little sad but it didn't really do anything for me.
Maybe if the actors acted in something else with a different director then I'd have seen their talent but Kiseki Chapter 2 wasn't it.
Hope they get better roles, really do.

Olha, não é que eu não tenha gostado, pq eu gostei sim. Mas é nitidamente uma produção bem simples. Acho que os meninos são lindos e com um futuro brilhante...maaaaaaaaas, achei as cenas de hot um pouco apelativas (mesmo tendo gostado). Acho que a proposta era bacana e diferente (embora fosse previsível), mas, para mim, faltou direção e continuidade. POdiam ter explorado melhor a parte musical, já que os meninos tocam e cantam muito bem. O final é uma situação à parte: que final insatisfatório... não é triste, mas você vai passar raiva com certeza... assista para passar o tempo, mas não é um dos meus preferidos.
