THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA OF 2022

I'm not being biased in any way shape or form this is a 10-star drama there was nothing wrong with this drama it's a very typical school based thai drama it's a normal plot , there's nothing unique it's nothing rare we've seen it a lot in Thai dramaland but the execution is so phenomenal that it surpasses so many other dramas this year.

The acting is one of the best I've ever had the privilege of watching Khaotung is a phenomenal actor, you can feel his emotions through the screen and because he's so good he kind of like brings up the other actors as well. First Neo Louis and AJ are great actors as well but Khaotung acting with them just put them on another level. You can feel him giving his emotion and energy to them and they reciprocate and it's just phenomenal the acting of everybody in this drama from the younger ones to the older ones was just chef's kiss. I genuinely don't know their names like I've never seen them in any drama the only elder actor I've seen in another drama is the female who plays First's mom, she acted in Something In My Room earlier this year and she did a great job in that drama and she did a great job in this one as well but any other actor I've never seen them anywhere else but they are veteron actors in the thai industry and they're so good they helped push the narrative and they truly truly did well with the acting, they were able to tell the story perfectly that kept you captivated and hooked and never bored. Even though the drama itself doesn't have the most spectacular action-packed plot it so very mundane plus as I said it's a very basic we've seen it before but they executed it so well. The acting when there is a sad scene and they're crying or in pain or anything, you feel that pain. You feel it through the screen and you feel their emotions through the screen, they really put themselves into their role they were not First and and khaotung and Neo and Louie and AJ no sir they were Akk and Ayan and Phupa and Wat.

This helped boost their role and it was just exceptionally well done I can say with confidence that the acting itself is 10 out of 10.

Next let's talk about the plot. The plot itself is a very basic plot, it's avery mundane plot, it's nothing that we've never seen before I need to keep saying this anybody going into the drama thinking it's going to be this big Supernatural drama, no it's a very normal plot but it's very basic plot is directed so well by and the script writing was just perfect, the pacing is done in a way that you never get bored, they were definitely a lot of chances to make this drama lackluster and with another director and another scriptwriter and maybe even different actors the plot would have felt like it was missing something it would have felt like a drag. In all honesty there's another drama that was airing at the same time of the eclipse and I was way more excited for that drama than the eclipse and that drama my only 12% staring Earth and Santa I love Earth ever since until we meet again I became a huge fan of him and I was super excited for my only 12%. The plot was another very basic story that we've seen before but somehow the pacing and execution wasn't done very well and I found myself being very bored. I'm currently behind by six episodes and I sadly have no interest in continuing the drama. The Eclipse however is the complete opposite, it had me coming back every week to see what happens next even though the plot wasn't anything phenomenal.

Now that we spoken about the acting let's speak about the story so as I said earlier the story itself is very mundane and normal we've seen it before it's nothing unique or new but the execution and directing is everything absolutely everything there was so many opportunities and chances for this drama to flop or go downhill but it never did it stay just getting better and better and better and just what I thought that maybe was going to just stay being a norma drama that's just has superb at acting boom a plot twist that I never saw coming happened. I don't think anybody watching the eclipse saw that plot twist coming, you could think outside the box as much as you want you will never get this plot twist there was no signs there was nothing not an inkling of a thought passed through any viewer of the eclipse minds, none of us got that plot twist its was most perfectly executed plot twistI have ever had the honor of watching, just amazing. They also paced the drama in a way that you never feel like you have something else you want to watch like I'd rather be doing this. You never get that feeling. Every Friday I'm ready to watch the eclipse there's nothing that I'd rather do than watch that new episode and that's how good the storytelling was because as I keep saying this is a very normal drama there was so many chances for the drama to dive bomb but it never did The story was just enough that it kept you intrigued,not every episode ended on a cliffhanger but there was enough to make the new episode something you judt had to see. not only were you interested in the story in the sense of what happens with the curse and everything you're also interested in the characters, and their development and their stories, their relationships, their bonding, you're so interested in every aspect of the drama that you keep coming back and that I have to give props not only to the actors but of course the director because she's so talented this was the best drama it ate and left no crumbs they didn't even leave the platter they ate everything. Another thing that I wanted to touch on really quickly was the chemistry, now I don't really think this has anything to do with acting because two of the greatest actors can come together and have zero chemistry together but the connection between these actors were phenomenal beside relationship-wise with the first and second couple there was also just the Friendship connection, you felt their pure and genuine friendship through the screen and honestly it didn't even feel like you were watching the drama it felt like you were a fly on the wall and watching normal people's lives,it did not feel like you're watching a drama the friendships between First, Neo and AJ was just amazing and of course the relationship between and Neo and Louise and Ayan and Akk was again really well done. Even a physical non-friendship relationship between teacher Sani and AJ was just gorgeous, it felt genuine, it felt pure and it was just amazing another thing I really truly enjoyed about this drama that I want to touch on really quickly is the fact that it didn't rely on any spicy scenes because there are no spicy scenes in this drama like there's none, it also doesn't have any shock factor there was only one or two plot twist and they both came in the same episode so it didn't rely on shock factor. The drama itself was relying on the character's chemistry and the character's development and and that is something we need more of this year I have watched a lot of Dramas and most of them at least the boy loves have been relying onmore of the spicy scenes and while we enjoy it Kinn Porsche hello while we enjoy it sometimes you just need a breath of fresh innocent air and that is what the eclipse is, it's just what I needed. The kisses in the drama was just so pure and their relationship was mainly built on Raw emotion no physical touching it was built on Raw emotion and beautifully spoken words, eye contact, like a hand holding or the grabbing of somebody's hands when they needed moral support, mental and emotional chemistry is what this drama relied on not sexual and it was just the perfect fluffy break you neeeded. You know the serotonin you get from playing with a puppy or a kitten is the same serotonin you get from watching the eclipse like it's such such a beautiful story.


Next, music, okay so I love music and I love a drama with good music, there's only one OST for this drama compared to other dramas that has multiple but this one OST was enoug it's sung by khaotung and it's played at the beginning and ending of every episode. It's the first OST I've fallen in love with this year which is quite sad because last year had quite a few. I feel like the OST are a little bit lackluster and mundane they're only three dramas this year I can think of that has amazing osts the first one is KinnPorsche then of course Big Dragon has a really really good OST I highly recommend and of course The Eclipse OST. with this soundtrack it gives what an official soundtrack needs to give, l you would listen to this song and you would feel exactly what the drama wants you to feel, the pure, raw, love and emotion that the two characters give to each other is exactly what you feel when you listen to this song it's a song that if you're driving in the car on a rainy day and you're listening to, you're going to probably think about your first love or the love of your life because this this OST is really good I found myself listening to it even when I'm not watching the eclipse like I have it downloaded on my phone and I would randomly need to listen to the song besides how gorgeous Khaotung's voice is the song itself is breathtaking. I do not understand Thai at all and the song is sung in Thai but I feel all the emotions the lyrics put out I truly do recommend you go listening to the OST if you haven't listened to the full thing and if you've never watched The Eclipse and you're watching this review simply because you want to know if you should firstly yes and secondly go check out the full OST like it's really phenomenal

Next the rewatch value. I'll definitely rewatch this drama. There's a certain serotonin you get from watching each episode each week when it's airing but there's a different level of serotonin you get from binging a whole entire drama so I'm going to binge it tonight that's how good it is there's only one other drama that has gotten me to rewatch and that's the Chinese drama Word of Honor, but it's very rare for me to rewatch a drama especially one that I recently finished watching.

But with that being said I truly hope you enjoyed my review if you did please give this video a thumbs up, comment down below what your thoughts on the eclipse were if you watched it and if you didn't I highly recommend go watching it. You can watch it on YouTube all episodes have already aired, I also highly recommend go listening to the OST and of course watching behind the scenes because their chemistry is not only on screen it's also off screen.

THIS DRAMA WAS SO POWERFUL

GMMTV has produced a drama that has created an almost impossible standard for other dramas.

Firstly the acting in this drama was superb.....especially Gun. Being able to portray a set of twin brothers so differently is not an easy task but he did it in a way that seemed easy. Both Off and Gun are both usually acting in softer...lighter dramas so taking on the roles of Black/White and Sean was a test on their acting skills and they definitely passed with flying colors.The supportimg cast also did their jobs exceptionally well and made the entire watch time a treat.

The plot...though the synopsis talks about White trying to unmask who hurt his brother the main plot of this drama was the gang members trying to expose the dirty tricks of an influential businessman and expose the corrupt system in Thailand. This was an extremely sensitive topic to take on especially with the backlash both the director and actors could face but they did take on that challenge and they executed it perfectly...this particular plot point was also able to relate to almost all viewers because most countries are similar in the sense that persons with power and influence usually get the last laugh.

This drama was also able to bring out all the emotions a human can have....happiness.... sadness...anger.....grief.....jealousy (because of that cute ass couple)...and so much more....in one episode I cried...laughed...felt anger...and pure disbelief.

The editing......OH MY GOD THE EDITING...this drama's editing team did its job so well... especially when both Black and White (Gun's characters) had to appear on screen together....I genuinely began questioning if Gun had a secret twin brother we didn't know about.

The cinematography of this drama was emmaculate as well. The fact that they actually had a scene with the two main characters under a pride flag screaming about equality... chef's kiss.

I also appreciated the fact that skin smoothing wasn't used in this drama. You were able to see the character's "flaws".... like their pores and acne and it showed them not in a unnaturally perfect way that's impossible to achieve but in a natural perfection thay we were truly able to appreciate.

Finally the pacing of this drama was also really well done...I didn't feel as if the drama slowed down or rushed itself at anytime....it felt like everything that happened was happening at the exact right time. The reveals....the shocks....the twist and turns...the realtionships.....the kisses everything felt realistic as if I were a fly on the wall in these character's lives.

I recommend this drama to any drama lover out there....wether your interested in OffGun....BL...Action...Suspense or just anything from Thailand. This drama is perfect for any drama watcher.

All in all if I could give this drama 100000000000/10 I would.

IF THIS DRAMA WAS A PAINTING IT WOULD BE PICASSO

Tinted With You was *chef's kiss* like i have no words.

The story was told exceptionally well for the short time slot it had and it ended perfectly.

There was no rush to the drama and it felt beautiful to watch them fall in love and kiss without the shock of them both being men it was all natural and normalized.

I also appreciated the fact that it wasn't a love triangle it was just two men in love and one man's friend/bodyguard. No unnecessary drama.

Simply stunning.

The time travelling aspect was done really well also and was explained exceptionally.

All in all this drama is definitely worth the watch.

Watching this drama felt like getting the best hug of your life.

Walking into a bakery and the scent of freshly baked goods engulfs you.....this is the feeling I get from watching this drama.

Though it was short it delivered well and was executed perfectly so it didn't feel rushed at all.

The acting was suberb and they picked the right people to act the right roles. The comedy was just enough to make me laugh but not overbaring....the romance was perfect and I'm not lying I smiled at me screen from episod 1-5.

I loved the fact that there was no unnecessary arguements or any annoyingly avoidable lack of communication.

All in all this drama was just the cutest little thing and once again I can confidently say that Japan has delivered a perfect drama.

THIS WAS A RAY OF SUNSHINE

I read some negative reviews about this drama before diving into it and I can confidently say that I don't agree with a word they said. This drama was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day and felt like a breath of fresh air in the drama world.

The acting though not perfect was good enough that I wasn't cringing or looking away from the screen the entire time.

The Cinematography was immaculate and was extremely pleasing on the eyes. The aesthetic shots of the beach were so perfect and fit the vibe of the drama so well, I honestly felt like going to the beach on a cold day for a bowl of udon.

The OST was beautifully sung....Holland did a wonderful job with 'Ocean Like Me' amd of course Jero and Shin Ji Hoo with their OSTs as well.

Of course the drama isn't perfect. There were some things that could've been fixed, like the random cuts that felt like a mistake during editing and the way the story didn't flow that well as if a piece of the script went missing and they filmed without it. However the chemistry and soft feels of the drama were enough to make me overlook the mistakes made.

All in a this was a warm, refreshing drama that I would reccomend to my bl loving friends.

This was an absolute masterpiece

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did...but lord knows I did.

Before watching this drama I read some reviews and saw that it was bloody and grotesque.And it was....but only for the first 12-15 minuets of the movie. After that time passed it was like any American movie with blood being spilt for a gunshot wound but besides that it was fine.

Lee Jong Suk's acting was superb for the little time he was seen on screen. If you want to watch this movie for LJS....DON'T he's barely on screen and he spends the majority of the movie in handcuffs.....but his smirk and portrayal of a serial killer is well worth it.

All in all this movie was beautiful in a serial killer type of way.

THIS DRAMA IS SO FLUFFY AND WARM

I absolutely loved this drama....the chemistry....the story....the acting.....the fluffiness everything about this drama was just perfect.

I loved how cute and natural the love between the two main leads were.

The story was also told really well and used the short time it had really well. The pacing was also well done and didn't drag at any time.

This drama also had a deeper meaning when it comes to the lucky and unlucky parts of the drama because the lucky characters life is so perfect that he constantly wonders if people are nice to him only for his luck and the unlucky character tries to stay away from people to avoid affecting them with his lack of luck. But because of the unlucky characters both leads meet and they both begin depending on eachother to live normal lives.

The fluffiness of the relationship was also well balanced and didn't make anything seem cringey or annoying.

All in all I loved this drama and once again Japan has did it again with delivering a beautiful drama.
