Love. Such a strong emotion and this is the main drive and attraction that keeps viewers glued to each and every episode of Theory of Love. The series stars Off Jumpol and Gun Atthaphan playing the now iconic parts of…
2Gether The Series comes at a time when there is a void to fill up - in terms of alternative entertainment. After the limited broadcast of He's Coming to Me, the massive popularity of TharnType The Series, and the artistic…
Director Cheewin Thanamin is in his element when doing slapstick comedy. The unpredictable plot, the casting choices, the obviously pronounced special effects, and the overall craziness of YYY Series are entertaining as it is a showcase of pure eye candy.…
We have our character roles defined and explained meticulously in the first three episodes. It is not going to be a smooth-sailing journey. There will be pitfalls, but you need to have patience, as slowly the storyline progresses and sets…
Before what may appear to be a bittersweet ending to 2Gether The Series, the two previous episodes: Episode 11-12 - in my opinion - wasted a big opportunity on focus and priority. Instead of showing Sarawat and Tine growing in…
I only have a minor complaint about 2Gether, and everything else is more than A-okay for me. You see, this series is the kind of BL that can feature twists and turns and still focus on the main characters without…
How to review a BL series amidst the noise? In the case of WhyRU, it's as simple as what you see is what you get. Nowadays, with fan service being the norm - it's a little bit harder not to…
Notwithstanding the real-world reality of social distancing and abject poverty, people - young and old - took refuge from the Internet and anointed what previously was an obscure, even taboo genre - Boys Love. Gone are the days when young…
Aam Anusorn Soisa-ngim never sold himself to the devil. Like many independent filmmakers around the world, he firmly maintains that art should never be compromised in exchange for profit. While he was offered to take the driver's seat in future,…
UWMA? Why are we talking about Until We Meet Again weeks after the Finale was broadcast? Because I need to finish what I started. A multitude of reasons, actually. Mainly because I effectively trashed some aspects of Episode 16, and…
We’re halfway into 2Gether the TV series and the cast and crew did not waste time pushing the drama forward. What makes these two episodes crucial is that there is the increased interaction between Sarawat and Tine in terms of…
I enjoy this series - in a major way - because Bright and Win have so much onscreen chemistry. If you want a 'symbolic' comparison, then there is no better example than honey and lemon. From the premier episode until…
At this point, viewers are familiar with WhyRU main couples' dynamics. Tutor-Fighter (Saint and Zee) is more of a love-hate relationship with plenty of angst. (more…)
After a rough start - with the cast having been altered a few times - My Engineer is finally on air! I made an effort to watch it via WEtv app and grabbed a VIP access to watch the 3…
Dir. Ma-Dew of The Love of Siam and Home fame reprises his cinematic magic in Dew (Let's Go Together). The flick is a sentimental and romantic drama about two young boys set in a not-so-friendly times for people of 'their…
Let me get straight to the point. Tine being dense and clueless ruins everything for Sarawat as he moves towards a more romantic atmosphere. By this time, everyone knows that Sarawat has the hots for Tine and it goes beyond…
Episode 7 of WhyRU is an acting highlight for Saint Suppapong as he says goodbye to his sister who has supported him throughout his young and eventful life. Zee's Fighter kept himself in the sideline amidst Tutor's emotional turmoils. Yet…
Someone said, spoilers are necessary to push the drama narrative. In the beginning, I would disagree but things have change in how we review, analyze and discuss series, especially BL (and gay for that matter). In Episode 3 of 2Gether,…
The first 3-4 episodes of a series usually establish the norm - the kind of style, focus and flow it will take. There will be surprises and out of this world scenarios but overall most drama follow a proven formula.…
Let me start my review by a quote: Lie through your teeth - Today, it means to lie through a smile – easily and unashamed. But its origins go back to the 14th century, when the phrase was to “lie…
This is the second time I’ve written a review of this episode. The first version lambasted the overall execution of this episode based on a single, significant flaw in logic and acknowledgment of the passage of time. I could not…
Episode 5 of WhyRU the Series represents a subtle departure from previous episodes as far as relationship development. Both our main couples - Zon-Saifah, Tutor-Fighter seem to have reached a turning point - perhaps its best to call it a…
The premise behind 2Gether the Series is quite flimsy- imagine a handsome young Thai named Tine (Win Metawin). He can't seem to find the right girl and in his pursuit of love, he was taken seriously by a gay guy.…
Episode 4 of WhyRU The Series represents one-third of the whole, which means we have 8 more episodes to go. Episode 1 is not to my liking, yet I immediately sense a transition and the original intent of the filmmakers…
Another emotional storm overtakes us in this episode. Plot twists, surprise revelations, and even more reveals about the characters we’ve come to care about so much. Acting in this BL series is one of its strongest suits. With the next…
The curtain lifts, and we are immediately being engulfed in our memories from throughout the TharnType series. Watching this pulls us into the inevitable arrival of "goodbye," because we are finally at journey's end. (more…)
Last week I was rabbiting on about Korn’s “famous last words” and all the broken promises as if the chronology of Korn and In’s story was waning from this series. I was wrong. Not only do we get to see…
A kiss is not just a kiss. In Episode 3 of Why RU the Series, it is symbolic of the many aspects of a burgeoning intimacy between our two main couples. (more…)
Drama review by Steve (Twitter - The_FNGee) What do you do after an arduous exercise of drama and feelings in this emotional roller-coaster of a series, with the main protagonists now well-aware of the situation they’re in with reincarnation, and…
I’m not going to call this episode an emotional powerhouse. Not that it isn’t, but that the emotions don’t trend to the side of devastating. Tears of happiness? Pretty close ... (more…)
WhyRU, the Series came out strong not only for its visuals but also for its soundtrack. It is one of the most heavily promoted series from Thailand. With all the buzz created, people expect a high-quality "product" after being bombarded…
Drama review by Steve (Twitter - The_FNGee) Another emotional powerhouse, this episode belongs to the leads. Nine, Earth, Ohm, and Fluke show us an intimate view of relationships: one starting to deteriorate, and another building at the same time. In…
When filmmakers create documentaries, they need to make sure that the visuals are engaging. Otherwise, viewers will get bored and more than half will likely move on and watch something else. (more…)
What makes an engrossing, realistic, and quality drama? It has to have a heart and a spirit. In the case of Tharn Type, Mew Suppasit as Tharn embodies its beating heart and Gulf Kanawut as Type is its fighting spirit.…
I watched UWMA Episode 7, multiple times to improve my understanding of the nuances and the limitations of the subtitling, and just to take in all that's going on. Read more
