My Personal Review

Overall Thoughts: I love this series. The production was crystal clear, and the acting was smooth and natural. Although, at the beginning of the show I was put off a little by the bullying.
What I liked?
1. I loved the acting of the actors and the emotions that were naturally portrayed in this series.
2. I loved the cinematography because it was crystal clear and bright.
3. I loved most of the storyline for the most part.
4. I liked the background story of Jo Tae Hyun, in understanding why he is the way he is and why he feels unloved. Him growing up blaming himself for what happened to his mother really made me feel sad inside.
5. Lee Da Yeol missing his father while living with him and feeling lonely made me feel for him. He misses the relationship that ne shared with his father.
What I disliked?
1. I disliked the bullying aspects of the show, it kind of put me off a bit and I was contemplating dropping the series all together at one point.
2. I disliked how Min Jung dealt with his jealous of losing his friend. I suspect that he also had a crush or a bit of feeling for Jo Tae Hyun.
3. I disliked how Jo Tae Hyun treated Lee Dal Yeol because he was confused about his feeling and thoughts.
Where their chemistry between actors in the series?
I would say absolutely yes. I enjoyed the innocent first-time love. The way the actors naturally displayed their emotions and the longing for each other. I was eating it up.
End Thought: I would highly recommend this series to anyone. I enjoy the dynamic of the show. It's a rewatchable series. I rated this series so high because it had more, I like about the series than disliked, but my disliked are important and are ice breaker or whether someone would stick to the series or drop it. All in all, I loved the show.

MESS! MESS! & MORE MESS

Well, what are roller coaster ride. This is my first time watching a Thai Lakorn and boy my mental health was wreck to the core; this show gave a headache. I took longer to finish this series because I needed to take a 3 week break for recover my mental health.
*Overall Thoughts: I have never watched a series and not root for a character. I don't even want Sila/Tor and Min to be together at this point. I like and dislike the show at the same time. It's the feeling after the honeymoon phase of a new relationship.
*Likes
- The acting was phenomenal; the actors did their thing.
-The action in this series was amazing.
The character Ms. Mam is so classy and elegant. She is my favorite character out of everyone in this damm show.
*Dislikes
- The domestic violences.
- How Sila/Tor had sex with Min stepsister and discard her like; I just think that there was another way her could have gotten revenge on her. Kwan had right to want to seek revenge out on Sila (now I don't agree with the ways she went about it). Being used by a man for sex and them was discarded is not a good feeling for any woman.
- The amount of fillers scene this series have is crazily annoying.
- The character Ae is trash like everything he does and say was madly stressful for me. He could not do shit right.
- I was expecting there to be more gun violence
*Character Breakdown (MY Opinion)
1. Female Lead; -Min is the sweet, naive, simple girl next door. Who lacks standards, boundaries, expectation, a backbone, a leg to stand on, self-respect, dignity. She does not know her place and how to mind her business, she meddles in everyone business she always gets hurt.
2. Male Lead; - Sila/Tor is corny, fearless pimp gangster who is physical and sexually abusive. Who fucked up everyone life while seeking revenge on Sida and her son.
*End Thoughts
I don't want Sila/Tor and Min to be together, I see no chemistry between them she is just confusing her lack of options to get away from her abusive family that she fell in desperation (aka love) with an abusive man, who don't understand or cares about her saying No or LET ME GO. At this point she is so accustomed to abuse that she is welling to suffer just to be with this man. He watches her get her ass beat by her stepsister, when he did not want to admit to himself that he was in love with her, now he wants to protect her from that very stepsister. I would recommend this show but not because it is truly enjoyable, but because it's a great conversational series to watch with a group of friends or family. I rated it 7.5.

Coming into oneself and finding love.

Overall thoughts; I love the comedy the show had to it. I loved the simplicity and warmth this series had to it. I was a bit uncomfortable with the age gap.
1. What I liked?
I liked how the actors where able to bring this story alive. They delivered with the portraying of emotions.
I liked the realism of local people's life and the normalness this series gave us.
2. What I disliked?
I disliked the age gap of 12 year, but it's not the gap is the problem it's the age between Minato Akira and Katsuki Shintaro. They were 9 and 17 when they first met, and 29 and 17 when they happened to meet each other again for the secondth time.
I disliked the fact it's a love story between an older man and a high schooler. This was the main reason why I was a bit uncomfortable with this show.
3. Personality Observation.
Starting with Shintaro's personality. He has a dominant personality, he is naturally assertive, straightforward, confrontational, expressive, has a natural innocent, and is jealous at times. He was my favorite character out of everyone in the show.
While Minato Akira personality is shy, reserved, timid, cowardly, non-confrontational, and shy's away from speaking his mind or admitting the truth out loud to others. I think this is why he can't maintain a healthy relationship with anyone.
4. Where their chemistry between characters?
I would say Yes! but it was mostly one sided and slow to develop. But it is worth it.
5. Character development.
Minato Akira character was developed nicely in the story. I think because of the influence of Shintaro, he able to be honest with himself and others around him for the first time. He found the confidence within himself to confront and open up about his true feeling and thoughts he been holding in for the longest time. I truly enjoyed watching his progress.
End thoughts; I rated this series 8.5 because I enjoy it despite its uncomfortable flaws. I loved each of the main lead character individually and they progress as the show goes along. For that alone It is worth watching.

A Mysterious Confusion.

Thoughts; This series was a big ball of confusion with attractive men. Although the plot was a hot mess I still tuned in every week. This series had so much potential to be the next big thing, but I was a bit disappointed with the lack of plot development. They just gave me a terrible addiction with a horrible storyline, acting and handsome men. However, I still enjoyed it.

*LIKES
- The cinematography was beautiful, the natural landscapes and the beautiful village that they included into the series.
- The tattoo on Ken back. Damm that was sexy as hell.

*What confused me the most?
1) What was the purpose of DeeDee's character in this series his presents added absolutely nothing to the plot.

2) What was the story behind Inpha [Chief] scar and cloudy eye. I feel like they just added that to the bad guy to be interesting, but it was unnecessary for me. I bet you that white contact lenes was probably uncomfortable to wear.

3) Payu and Hin (Ken friends) acting was so horrible, I was laughing every time I saw them on screen. What was their purpose again? They can't fight, be any kind of support system or nothing.

4) How come Mr. Lue / Din sister Zai knew all this time that Din was Lue with facial surgery and never told anyone not even her brother, mother or dad so they will know that he is safe.

5) I thought in episode 9 When Kin was standing by the river, I thought he figured out that Mr. Lue is Din but, when he showed up to his house (which how he knew that Mr. Lue is staying there like he never been there) I thought he was going to confront Mr. Lue about lying to him and pretending to not be Din knowing that he's been hurting and missing him. But Ken still does not know, Lord I can't with this show. It's a bunch of bullshit (I kind of like the miss), I'm still watched the last episode because I reach thus far.

6) Was it necessary to introduce a motherfucking psychic into this mess? Like really, what was the reason? I rolled my eyes so hard when he said I had a vision, like be for real. All the doctors are trifling to go along with that identity theft plan. I love the mess, the terrible storyline and the terrible acting.

7) Well let's talk about the final episode; Boy what a terrible ending, like for real it made no sense whatsoever. The whole episode Ken said not a damm word. Until the end like he was on mute. The part I found hilarious was when Mr. Lue / Din was hiding behind that bike while collecting bullets on both sides, he did not get one bullet hit him. HE WAS FUCKING BULLET PROOF GUYS Lmaooooo. I was dying with laughter. While I was dying with laugh, he run into the forest and the pulled the disappearing and reappearing matrix act on the shooter to take them out. Let's talk about how the blood artist was late to the set on the throat cuts lmao. In the end Inpha [Chief] was killed by Din and Zai is having her wedding on the 7th of the 7 month and Ken went to the airport to catch a flight to God knows where.

*End Thoughts; I rated this series a 8/10 stars because in was terrible but pleasantly enjoyable. This not a rewatchable show, but if you like shows that ends with open endings, with terrible acting, handsome men, pointless storyline and character then this is the show for you, come on down and claim you prize. LOL. All in all, I enjoyed and loved this series but not because it was good. I would not recommend this to anyone only because I don't want to be embarrassed.

A pack jam drama

*Thoughts- This is another one of my favorite's drama now, it's amazing GMMTV really did they're thing with this one.

*At first, I had a hard time believing Foei's can play a gay character well, but he did his thing. Because his how tainted his reputation is.
*Miriam/ Mim had a bad start to life, but her victim mindset was really killing me in this series. Mim lying to Tin and destroying Eve business for a short time, and they still stuck by her and even helped her clear her name was telling of how loyal they were to a fault, even when it harms them. She was an insufferable character to watch. Mim did not deserve Tin's love and support at all.
* Matt gives me a predator vibes.
* Giwi is a femme fatale also called an maneater, the way she manipulated Dan into doing her dirty work with sex and a hope for a relationship was disgusting. I felt bad for him because everyone was warning him, but he was loyal to his death. I love that he made sure she pays for what she did.
* I personally don't believe Mim should have gotten a second chance at forgiveness for those she hurt. I think Mim and Giwi is very similar and should paid for their actions. Mim victimhood left a long time ago.
* Tim redeems himself for what he did, and I loved his character development.
This was a wonderful ride of a show and it's absolutely worth the watch.

One of the best lakorns I watched.

Boy! This was an amazing Thai lakorn, this show had me in so many emotions, but I truly enjoyed going through them. I was in tear, in shock, hype at the little action and some laugher. Throughout the show I grew to like certain character and I did not even dislike the villains of the show either because I understood they had no morals and would try to climb to the top by any means necessary.
* LIKES
- The acting was phenomenal.
- The actors were well casted.
- The love and intimacy between P'Touch and P'Time.
- P'Touch has won me over with his gentleness, warmed, kindness, love for his family and willingness to help others. He was a great boss to his employees; they truly felt his absents. Everyone felt it, his family, friends and employees. He is my favorite character in the show, to be honest. I truly appreciate that P'Touch did not hide the fact that he is gay from Treenuch, he laid it all out on the table telling her the reason as to why he needs a child, which put the ball in her court to make the decision of whether or not she will marry him.
* DISLIKES
This is not so much a dislike, but it what triggered or annoyed me.
- Marissa gives me maneater vibe, this is where she uses men and then discard them. Now that she realizes that men out there don't live up to her standards, she wants to be with P'Time again but, she still did not change her ways. Don't get me wrong I think she deserves the best man, but she also has to do the work on herself (maybe I am thinking too much into this).
- So, I'm a bit annoyed with Treenuch because she should have been with P'Touch when she found out about the video, she shouldn't have left him in the emergency exist of the hospital. My reasoning is that she has accepted this role to be his wife. Although I don't believe she is to be taken advantage of and I hate the way Yada (P'Touch and P'Time mother) treated her and focus her to do things she was not comfortable with. I do think she should have stayed by his side to comfort him and provide him with her wisdom. But Treenuch is not to blame.
- Throughout the show I pity P'Touch because of the heavy obligations' he had to live up to and he was not allowed to be openly gay and love who he wanted to love.
-I really wished P'Time would have respected P'Touch boundaries and not share his private medical information, even though he was telling Treenuch, I rather she heard it from P'Touch and I think she should have put P'Time in this place about that. I didn't know if he was using that information to get closer to Treenuch, to me his intentions were unclear.
-I don't know if P'Touch was dickmataized or just plain naive to that bastard of a man (Shane) to give him a second chance at access to him after he walked in on him having sex with another man, there are just somethings that are unforgivable, and cheating is one of them. I know it is hard to move on from someone you saw a future with, but it would have gotten better in time. This is not me blaming P'Touch, I'm just stating the obvious because some of us burn to learn.
* 2 THINGS I FOUND FUNNY
1. The fact that P'Time speaks with his hands throughout the show. Every time he would get in Orchun face I would chuckle a little. They're aggressive banter would kill me.
2. P'Time dressing up in the disguise for which you could clearly see it was him. Made me laugh.
* CHARACTER, I FELT BAD FOR
- I truly felt for Yada for losing her child, that is never easy, and a mother might never heal from that.
- I kind of felt bad for Orchun's mother, she lost her son and everything in the end. Seeing how she end up made he feel for her.

Overall, I would highly recommend this series. It is pack full of drama, and action. Please have tissue on hand because you would definitely cry during this show.
This review of the show was not about the romance to me, to be honest sometimes I would forget that it had a romance element to it because of all the other plots it has. Although the show is advertised as a romance show (that's why I started it) it was more than that for me, after a while I did not care about the romantic relationship between P'Time and Treenuch.

Facing your dark truths and secrets

WARNING
This series is extremely heavy, it's emotionally taxing and draining for you. if you are not in the right frame of mind mentally and emotionally, I would suggest you skip this one entirely. There is triggering topics in this series (death of a loved one, grief, bullying, homophobia, alcoholism).
Overall Thoughts: This series was excellently produced; the acting was phenomenal. I felt every emotion and tension the actors was conveying. At episode 6, I considered dropping it because I felt my mood plummeting and I'm still not over the roller coaster ride of emotions this series took me through. This series is depressing and taxing on the viewer.
(Dislikes)
- How the series had cut breaks every 15 - 20 minutes to show you a preview of exactly what's going to happen in the next sense was annoying for me.
- I think it was unfair for Wang to blame In for his father's death in episode 8. Wang's dad got rejected by In when he expressed his love for him and because he could not handle the rejection, he killed himself. I think In has /had love for Wang's dad but just in a brotherly way nothing more, because he is not GAY, nor is he interested in being with a man in that way. I do think it was unfair to In. In has love for both Wang and his dad but not to be with them in a relationship.

I do agree with Mol when she and In was having a conversation in her room that Wang mistook the obsession and admiration he has for In into love. (I don't remember which episode that happened I think it was episode 8.)
(My Takeaways)
From episode 4-8. We have to deal with our deep-rooted problems, secrets and trauma. Pain is part of living this life, so we have to learn to accept, heal, let go and forgive ourselves. For if we don't, we will be forever having a heavy dark cloud on our shoulders. We will forever be stuck in the time we experience such pain. We have to integrate our dark side because it's a part of us, it's what makes us humans.
