We started with ★7.8

This is the third adaptation from the novel “Are You Addicted?” by Chai Jidan.

The first adaptation, “Addicted” 2016 had a rating of ★7.7 and it was cancelled due to law and restrictions in China. Yet it managed to become one of the most famous BL series.

The second adaptation, “Stay With Me” 2023, received a rating of ★8.4 due to its strong relationship between the main characters. Even if it was censored because of legal issues in China, the drama managed to become a series people tagged as BL.

And now, the third adaptation, “Addicted Heroin” 2024, has a rating of ★7.8 right now, with only one episode aired. Thailand managed to get the rights to make these series finally as the novel was —or mainly— making it fully, not cutting anything and giving us what we expected for the rest of the adaptations.

Of course, as it only started airing, I can only say: good luck, I hope it becomes an amazing one.

We started with an ★8.1

This is the second adaptation from the novels “Love Storm" (พายุรักโถมใจ) and "Love Sky" (พระพายหมายฟ้า) by MAME.

The first adaptation into a screenplay “Love In The Air” 2022 was a complete masterpiece that obtained a rating of ★8.1 through the time, having also a special episode and a total of thirteen episodes about 45min-50min long per episode.

Now we have the second adaptation, a Japanese version ”Love In The Air: Koi no Yokan” 2024 has aired the first episode and it obtained a rating of ★8.1 . It is planned to have 10 episodes that will be about 24 minutes long, which leaves us with the question “what are they gonna leave aside?”.

With just one episode aired, the Japanese version and the original Thai adaptation from the novels, obtained the same rating.

About the first episode (SPOILER) :
It was good, as it was exactly as the original Thai version, so I could see the things I liked, yet without some details about Arashi (Payu in the Thai version) and also wanted to some different things, cause it was The Same. I will always love and remember the original one, as it was my first BL, but I really wish this to be nice. So good luck for further episodes.

The boicot in The Heart Killers

This series went from ★8.3 to ★6.3 in the time of four days since its release last week.

There’re people saying it’s because it’s bad, others are saying it is because it took Jack & Joker first place in IQIYI, and there’s also people saying it is too s3xual for it to be on screen.

So, no matter what the reasons are, when you come to watch a series, you must know where you’re putting yourself in. No matter what the series is about, you should value it as a series of such gender, such as action, romance, politics, horror, suspense or anything. If you’re gonna leave a bad review, these is probably not your series so what might be better is for you to stop watching.

Let’s give these series a chance to be great, it only started and I really hope I can say at the end, it was amazing.

This was pointless

This series was just… empty. When I started it, I thought it would be an amazing one —as everyone said it was awesome and so good and even had a ★8.5 rating on MyDramaList—, but it happened to be just an easy one for me.
The story itself was pointless in my opinion. A man in love with another I don’t know why, being treated like sh*t and yet still loving something about it. Also a man who’s in love with his brother-in-law just because he saw his back in a trailer??? I don’t know. The thing about dying and coming back to life in another body is like what?? And Ming somehow felt it was Joe.

I’ll only talk about the main couple as there’s no secondary one *crying*, so let’s start:
There’s not so much to say about them. I couldn’t love their relationship nor buy their love and I hated Ming all along the series, so it was difficult to understand Joe’s feelings for him.

So the only way this series could have had a better ending in my opinion, is if it ended in episode 11, with Joe choosing himself and starting all over again. But no.

So I wouldn’t recommend this, but I also have to say that so many people liked it, so if it is a gender you like, please enjoy it.

Never Let Me Go merece más reconocimiento del que tiene.

Me gustó mucho (( Fish Upon The Sky )). Me pareció muy cómica y me encantó el personaje de Mork porque me recuerda lo que es estar enamorado. Como pareja (shipp) PondPhuwin me encanta, y por eso deseaba ver esta serie (( Never Let Me Go )). Como en (( Fish Upon The Sky )) ambos eran bastante cómicos, especialmente Phuwin; creía que en (( Never Let Me Go )) se asemejarían los personajes. Pero ni de lejos. Cuando vi la portada ya supuse que iba a ser distinta a lo que me había imaginado.

He leído multitud de comentarios en los que aseguran que (( Never Let Me Go )) es un intento barato de KinnPorsche; pero no estoy de acuerdo en absoluto.
KinnPorsche es una serie increíble de acción, romance, y a veces un poco masoquista, pero ni de lejos se parece a (( Never Let Me Go )). El hecho de que ambas series tengan a un chico rico y otro pobre que entra a trabajar para él y protegerle, no significa que tenga que ser plagio. No estoy aquí para hacer una comparativa de ambas series, pero como me han gustado mucho ambas, quiero defenderlas y decir que cada una es de una manera muy distinta e increíblemente hermosa.
En (( KinnPorsche )), los personajes son gente adulta que sabe cómo hacer su trabajo porque lleva haciéndolo durante años. Si cabe, parece más irreal que Kinn contrate a Porsche como guardaespaldas, que que la madre de Nueng le pida a Palm que cuide a su hijo (si has visto ambas series lo entenderás).
(( Never Let Me Go )) está ambientado en un par de adolescentes que acaban de cumplir la mayoría de edad y que aún no saben lo que es el mundo, (sobre todo Nueng). Cuando su padre muere y recae sobre él el peso del imperio que llevaba su progenitor, es normal que su primera reacción no sea de valentía o alegría.

La historia me gusta. Me gustan las subidas y bajadas que tiene todo el tiempo; el como cuando empieza, todo se va al garete. Luego aparece Palm y las cosas se calman (dentro de lo que cabe). Luego, cuando por fin se han dado su primer beso; todo vuelve a estropearse cuando atacan la casa y le disparan a la madre de Nueng. El tiempo que están en la isla es increíble y creo que eso debería subir el nivel que la gente le da. Lo que ocurre es que a partir del episodio nueve, matan a la madre de Palm y todo vuelve a ser una catástrofe.

No me ha gustado el hecho de que cada promesa que se hacían, la rompían cuando las cosas se ponían difíciles, lo que no me parece algo de admirar en una pareja; pero he de decir que en muchas ocasiones, las cosas no son fáciles y respeto que pueda haber errores y problemas. Somos humanos, y cuando estamos enamorados, no siempre pensamos con claridad cuando prometemos algo como "Siempre estaré contigo".
Me hubiera gustado que Palm reaccionara un poco más a la muerte de su madre, porque, aunque ella apenas si le ha visto, es su madre y han pasado semanas juntos en aquella isla paradisíaca. El personaje de Mam me parece muy importante, porque es quien anima a ambos chicos a declararse y darse cuenta de que están enamorados. Por ello, su pérdida me parece que tendría que haber sido un poco más notable. He de decir también que luego de eso, Palm se emborracha porque no puede con tanto dolor y durante los episodios restantes, se menciona mucho su sacrificio por que los dos pudieran estar juntos. De modo que, aunque me hubiera gustado otra reacción por parte de los protagonistas y sobre todo Palm; me parece bien cómo han llevado el tema durante el resto de la serie.
Aunque rompen su promesa, siempre que se han dejado el uno al otro, lo entiendo, aunque no me guste. Entiendo que la primera vez, Nueng se vaya, porque quiere proteger a Palm y después de haber visto a la madre del mencionado morir por ellos, ha conectado con lo que puede pasar si Palm sigue en su vida. Cuando amas a alguien, quieres que siga vivo, aunque no sea a tu lado. Y cuando Palm deja Nueng en el episodio once, también lo entiendo, ya que teniendo en cuenta cómo ve Palm a Nueng y sabiendo que ahora lleva él el imperio de su padre; cree que al no poder caminar y que Nueng esté con él durante la rehabilitación, cree que le está quitando el tiempo de su vida y que ahora mismo lo único que hace es estorbar. Yo he de decir que de ser Palm, también me pasaría eso por la cabeza, pero se lo diría a Nueng, no me iría, porque eso es un tema de pareja que se ha de resolver entre ambos y no tomar la decisión solo; tal y como dice la madre de Lian en Cutie Pie. Pero por suerte, Nueng al final toma la decisión de que quiere estar con Palm y se va a buscarlo.

Una cosa que me gusta mucho de esta serie es que por más oscuro que pueda estar siendo todo en el lugar en el que viven, cuando se van a la isla es como que están en otro mundo, como que nada de lo que ocurre fuera de aquellas playas importase. Lo han hecho muy bien para darle ese toque veraniego y fresco de que es como un sueño pero sin salirse hacia lo irreal. Para mí no hay palabras que puedan describir la belleza que se ve en esos episodios.

El final me dejó indecisa, ya que Nueng dice que quiere irse a estudiar a Estados Unidos y Palm le dice que quiere que tenga la vida que desee. Entonces es cuando Nueng responde: "La vida que quiero es en la que pueda estar contigo". Eso te hace pensar que elige quedarse en Tailandia y ese es el final. Aun así me quedé con la incógnita y he de decir que fue un alivio ver los dos episodios de (( Our Skyy 2 x Never Let Me Go )) porque para mí ese el auténtico final que esa pareja se merece y me quito el sombrero ante Palm por tomar tan valiente y acertada decisión.

De modo que sí, recomiendo esta serie y volvería a verla. Es muy tierna, muy bonita y el balance entre ligera y densa es bastante bueno. Recomiendo ver primero (( Fish Upon The Sky )) porque sinceramente, aunque las historias no tienen nada que ver, son los mismos actores y después de haber visto esta, te parecerá que están haciendo el tonto en diversas ocasiones.
En resumidas cuentas: me ha gustado mucho y aplaudo a los episodios seis, siete y ocho por su preciosidad y belleza, tanto en comportamiento de los personajes como en las cosas que suceden y se dicen.
La banda sonora es muy buena en mi opinión y me gusta el hecho de que hayan utilizado también canciones en inglés.

Muy buena, disfrútala y mírate también los dos primeros episodios de (( Our Skyy 2 )) que es el verdadero final. Para ver esa serie, solo necesitas haber vistos (( Never Let Me Go )).

One of my favorites

So I wanted to watch this series since I’ve watched «Dark Blue Kiss» and I fell for Gawin. And I have to say that even I liked the actors and the rating was good, I didn’t have so much expectations about this series. Yet, it didn’t disappoint at all.

This series was just AMAZING. The cast did so well. I feel bad whenever I watch a Thai series and I get surprised about the acting, but it’s just the truth. I loved that I loved all the characters (even if some were annoying, they were complete and with some characteristics. I loved the secondary characters, I loved Pear and Max so much. Pear’s dad was one of the best characters from the series for me. I loved all the talks he had with his daughter and how deep they were. I love when mature people give good advice in order to help their kids. Just amazing. I loved how Pear learned how to forgive her mother and how to grow with that knowledge and I love her maturity with Kawi and Pisaeng.

Max was one of my favourites too, since he was one of those friends that really does help the main character and is too wise for his age??? God, I love that. He’s so charming and the fact that his so mature and also friendly and easy approaching is amazing. I loved that he helped not only Kawi but also Pisaeng. He’s a master. I love people with a clear mind and understanding about themselves and the world.

About the main couple, I Loved Them. They were so suitable and good together. The way Pisaeng fell for Kawi was so cute and awesome. I still needed a bit more reason about why he liked Kawi, but just fine. I liked when they were finally together and got to live together??? OMG they are sooo good and natural.

The message this series brought was just amazing: Live The Present, live today, stop worrying about the future because not everything is under your control. You can only control today and enjoy the present. One of the best messages: live a life you won’t regret and you won’t want to go back and fix it.

I also loved one thing that I know not everyone valued. When Kawi was feeling down about what would happen in the future and Pisaeng told him to be positive and stop thinking that everything will go wrong in the future. What about if everyone makes the right choices and the appropriate decisions? What if everything goes well? I swear not everyone felt it like I did, but in this world, where everything is focused in the decadence of the planet, expecting a dark and broken future; these indeed made me feel that what I want was also desirable for more people. So it’s not impossible.

Thank you so much GMMTV for this amazing work of art. Love it.

Just love, nothing more yet nothing less

This series is a mixed feeling between old series and new ones. As for the story, is just a group of friends who find love and friendship at university age. Nothing more, yet nothing less.

I couldn’t understand why GMMTV —after creating so many masterpieces this year— decided to go on an old way to make the series. They added too much sounds for reactions, making it unrealistic and unserious. They made so many “jokes” they weren’t necessary just not to make it serious when it needed some silence. I don’t know why, it just felt like the early years of BLs.

The story itself was just so easy, as the main character started finding each other and developed feelings for the other. So I’m gonna start with the couples.

As you can clearly see, the real main couples —even if they all are shown as main— are PhumPeem and QToey, even if my favourite couple from this series was TanFang.

As for PhumPeem, I’m gonna say that I couldn’t really feel the chemistry between them, and that even if they had some good scenes, for me, some seemed like forced and fake. The beginning of their story about the slave and all that stuff was so outdated, but at least I felt that they did well with the development of their feelings for each other…, even if sometimes I couldn’t buy it. Not talking about the kisses, ‘cause Phuwin didn’t want to open his mouth, so I couldn’t really be into the scene whenever it came. Even so, they were cute and I’ll always love them because of Fish Upon The Sky and Never Let Me Go.

About QToey, I would say that their couple promised so much and I really liked the idea about the post-its and how they fall in love through letters. The only missing thing —again— is the seriousness we needed between each other. Because they were so cute and good together, but then, after saying a beautiful phrase, they had to start chasing each other or running away “joking” and doing stupid stuff.

As for TanFang, my favourite couple of the series, is a unique kind of couple in BL series, as one of them is so obvious showing his love (which is usual), but the other one is so freaking in love with him too and smiles at him with adoration and cuteness, seeing his baby’s love so brightly. I also loved that they weren't like the classic “top and bottom” (which I dislike) and when you see the “NC scenes” you cannot really tell who does what… Also the kisses where in another level from the rest of the couples from this series. I loved that even if Tan’s character was so playful and carefree, he also knew how to get not serious but helpful and caring whenever the situation required it. He was my favourite character so far and I really found in him the man I want in my life.

Soooo as for the last couple (sorry they deserve that name as their story started in the last episode 5555). ChainPun for me, was the couple I didn’t really saw together at first, as maybe they were just playing around… after seeing Pun that (sorry) stupid in the first episodes…?? I don’t know why, his character developed so much… I think, and I started to like them together. But the only real thing that I liked from them was their final kiss. THAT’S THE KISS ALL THE COUPLES SHOULD HAVE HAD!!! Thank God we had at least one. They did so well, I laughed and smiled equally as I saw them kiss and their friends’ reaction.

As for the rest of the series, I would say that I expected more change between Phum and his father as Peem asked him for it, but I guess they did well as not everything and every change happens that fast. I liked they showed it as an important thing and as an effort Phum made. My baby did so well.

Things to highlight from these would be Aou’s acting. It felt so natural, even if it was all so overacted, it was part of the play and it looked great, just as you know how he can make a serious one… I love him so much.

So… this series was just cute, full of (gay) love (as they all are gay???? What the heck bro??? 5555) but just fine, easy, without heartbreaks or broke ups or depression… It is good to find this things sometimes if you want so smile.

A beautiful silver lining in the Deep Night

Again, a low ranking series surprised me being an amazing masterpiece and giving me more smiles and good memories than some with higher ratings that happened to become famous for some reason.

Something about this series was how realistic that love was for me. As a person who’s used to SEE love all around (in my family, my friends, TV…), I really appreciate that love wasn’t something they should hide because of shyness nor fear. Even if a lot of people gave it a low rating (which I cannot understand), in my opinion, the story was so well written and it all made sense. The storyline was original, which isn’t something usual nowadays.

On this review I will not be talking about the Special Episode since it is (SPOILER) just a compilation of some scenes from the series that they made a bit longer and added a few short scenes. Still, it was good (END OF SPOILER). Now let’s start with the series.

The way everything evolves from a rich kid who doesn’t really care about his mom’s work dream, to the amazing person he is at the end, is really inspiring and beautiful. I loved that almost “love at first sight” Khem had with Wela, yet how it went from something more like interesting to LOVE in capital letters. I enjoyed so much watching how they fall for each other, how they deal with Wela’s work, how the family matters are importante to them, how they try to understand each other and help not only the two of them but also their friends and family. I loved how amazing the relationships were with the rest of the employees and the love Khem is able to show to his mom once he felt it and is envolved with it. I love the understanding between everyone so much… God, it is really not easy to find something like this.

About the main couple, I will say that they are one of my favourite couples so far. Not just the amount of kisses we had (THANK YOU GOD FOR THE BLESSING) but the way you can see their love, how you can see how important they are for each other, always taking care of the other and always making sure they are happy. One thing I loved so freaking much is the moment when Wela is crying about his mom rejecting him from doing that job, and Khem coming to comfort him and also crying while hugging him. Oh lord, that was insanely beautiful, because you can see how painful it is for Khem to see Wela hurt and sad. Also, one of my favourite moments (and I make clear that it is just ONE of my favourite moments, because there are so many) is the performance of them two at the end, when Wela fell and Khem helped him not to mess the moment Wela’s mom came to see. Them in white and so in love.

Now, about the secondary couples (and I say it in plural because I could say that there are three secondary couples):

It was so surprising for me the Khem’s mom’s couple, because it’s not usual for BL series to have the parents new partner as part of the story, more even being two women.

The trio was awesome. I really didn’t expect them to be together the three of them and I can imagine how difficult it must be to create a quality relationship between three people making sense in their decision. At the beginning, it was so interesting, Pan and Seiji flirting and kissing by accident, and then you see Pan falling for Seiji, Seiji responding somehow and then, Ken and Seiji having a story together from the past that makes you think that they may end up together… God, the resolution was amazing. I loved Pan’s speech in the last episode and the way they three hugged… I’M IN LOVE. I wish we could see more of them, like I need a series with just them to see all their story and stuff together.

I also would like to see more about Great and James, they looked so interesting from the very beginning, being the only “couple” which didn’t confess their love for the other and already being somehow together?? So beautiful. They promised so much and I want more.

Also, I loved Khem being good with his dad when he comes for the first time to the show, talking nicely to each other, laughing together, asking how they were doing and respecting their own decisions.

So, again, I can’t understand people’s reactions for this series. Even if it’s not something so so deep, it had its own depth. It talked about acceptance no matter what, about not judging before knowing the whole story, about respect people’s decisions and dreams. It is about support of the ones you care deeply for; about giving your all even when it could not go well, even if you fail. This is about LOVE, loving what you do, respecting the love of others, and loving without limits.

We need season 2 for Nick and Boston happy ending

This series was sooo good. I really enjoyed watching it.

I would make it a 10, but I have to say that Mew and Ton weren’t the kind of couple I liked. It was sometimes boring for me to watch their story, because (for me) Ton is the typical perfect-rich boyfriend, who did something wrong, yes, but TOO perfect, like rich and a good person. I’m sorry, I don’t intending to make anyone uncomfortable, it’s okay whatever couple you like.

The couple that amazed me was SandRay, since the very beginning. They way it changed through the time they spent together, and juat how powerful they are. The fact that they are the only couple that had things clear since the moment they started dating; even though Boeing appeared and messed up everything a little, Ray always had things clear about his feelings for Sand since they were together and managed to handle everything just like a total BOSS. Sand and Ray are so cute and hot at the same time and they are the kind of couple that inspires other people.

It was a very good decision, making Nick choose himself instead of fake or little love. And even though Boston is a bit too much, it is a very very important character for this series cause he is the start of almost everything and the one that opened Nick’s eyes, for what he really wanted. I just feel like I need season 2 for a happier ending for Nick and Boston, because I really liked them as a couple, even though they where painful sometimes… But I really think Boston is gonna change into a better person when living in NY, so I’d love to see him coming back to Thailand and seeing Nick again and them starting all over, like adults and amazing strong new people… I would be awesome, truly awesome.

NEVER AN OPTION

I have to say that I didn’t liked this title because, I know that there are so many things that they bring in this, but the super Stockholm syndrome is too much for me. He says he was trying to make him want to live but, hey, that’s not the way to do so. It was so so violent and sometimes (always) too much. I also have to say that I liked the final, like the very end, the two last scenes, if you forget everything that happened before, it is a beautiful scene if you focus on it. So yeah, the acting was awesome, they did so well and the production is also good, but it doesn’t compensate the rest. So yeah, i give it a 2.5 because I liked the last 2 scenes and the 0.5 for the acting itself.
