OK short filler series. Pretty basic.

To start out with, they aren't really brothers. They are brothers in the Thai Phi or P' meaning of the word. Said another way, they are friends. (P' Pun and P' Porsche) And there is plenty of bad to go around.

Like everyone says in the comments, the English Subs are not the best. I don't think these were official subtitles though. So you will have to deal with that a bit. Some things are literally lost in translation I think. I do appreciate someone taking the time to sub this as some series never get them.

The story was pretty basic, but straightforward. It was acted OK for young and presumably amateur or first-time actors. This story was all about falling in love, and love triangles, and broken hearts and not much beyond that. No filler in this series, it was right to the point. I thought it was funny that the boys were basically fighting over who was NOT going to date Fah. Maybe that wasn't the intent of the story, that is an alternative way at looking at things. There are a couple unexpected twists and turns, especially in the ending episode.

I liked it, but was glad it was only 5 episodes long, I don't think it would have been as good if it was stretched any longer than this. I would call this just average at best when comparing to more current series, but back in 2017 this probably was probably OK for its time. It isn't SOTUS which also came out that same year, but that was a pretty groundbreaking show in my opinion.

Like many of these minor short or low budget series, it is worth watching as a filler, or when you just want a quick distraction. You don't have 13 episodes that last an hour here. This is only a bit over a couple hours long if you skip the intros, so you aren't losing much if you don't enjoy it.

Watch out for the black car of death (they couldn't afford a white truck apparently) to make an appearance!

Middle of the road

Middle of the road BL thai drama. It was not bad but it was not great. The acting was fine, the story was fine. It was short and there for a bit rushed in places. I liked the cast and end was different and I liked it but over all it felt lacking. Like these were the clips of the drama and you were missing about three episodes to flush everything out. This was low budget but I have seen bl's with less do more so I am not striking that against them I was just kind of bored by this one and kept hoping for more. More was hinted at but not shown. I would not watch again but its fine for a boring afternoon one and done watch

The "stupid" effect of the series was much less on me than on many others. Yes, we have the right to judge from the point of view of an ordinary European that something is stupid, but that does not mean that we are right. There are a few billion more Asians like us and I evaluate from the point of view of this kind of production and in that case this evaluation of mine worked out for me.
But the simpler, low-budget mini-series caught my attention, and it even has some advantages over other Thai productions of this type. Above all, it had a plot, it didn't branch out, there were no secondary characters or an annoying school. Still amateur acting young actors are trying, that "something" for the users of this server was also there (searching for a gay, bisexual feeling). But otherwise, a very naive piece, as if filmed really only for elementary school girls.
On the plus side: there weren't those horrible Asian lids (I still can't get over the last series I saw, The Best Story, when the creators turned nice guys into six lid cunts), the entire faces of the actors stood out. It was interesting that Win, with the figure of a Thai boxer and the type of brawler that the creators liked to reveal in a swimsuit, was getting picked on by both Pun and Porsche, and that girl seemed like a thorn in the heel or rather in the fart.. .




"Hloupě" na mě působil seriál daleko méně, než na mnohé jiné. Ano, máme právo soudit z pohledu běžného Evropana, že je něco hloupé, ale to ještě neznamená, že máme pravdu. Asiatů je o několik miliard více, jako nás a já hodnotím úhlem pohledu na tento druh produkce a v tom případě mi vyšlo toto mé hodnocení.
Jednodužší, nízkoropočtový miniseriálek mě ale zaujal, a má dokonce i některé přednosti oproti jiným z tohoto druhu thajské produkce. Především měl spád, nevětvil se, nebyly žádné vedlejší postavy ani otravná škola. Ještě amatérsky působící mladí herci snaživí, to "něco" pro uživatele tohoto serveru tam také bylo (hledání citu gay, bisex). Ale jinak hodně naivní dílko, jakoby točené opravdu jen pro žákyně základních škol.
Pozitiva: nebyly ty příšerné asijské poklice-afinky (stále se nemohu probrat z posledního seriálu, který jsem viděl The Best Story, kdy tvůrci udělali ze sympatických kluků šest poklicových pizd), vynikly celé tváře herců. Zajímavé bylo, že Win s postavou thajského boxera a typem bitkaře, kterého tvůrci rádi odhalovali do plavek, dostával nakládačky jak od Pun-a, tak i Porsche-ho a ta dívka tam působila jako trn v patě nebo spíše v prd.li ...

Bad roteiro

Uma série levinha, bem amadora (mas para o ano em que foi lançada está ok), com um plot bem juvenil, um roteiro sem muitas pretensões. Aparentemente foi baixíssimo o investimento, visto que não existem cenários elaborados, e os únicos atores são os quatro principais, com raríssimos figurantes.

De início, quero pontuar que existem alguns defeitos de continuidade. O plot também é um pouco sem sentido, Em um minuto Pun está apaixonado e brigando pelo amor de Fah, e do nada, sem maiores explicações ele está interessado em Porsche, ou seja, o desenvolvimento não acontece, jogaram as cenas lá e pronto.
Também em relação ao roteiro, um ponto positivo é o "inesperado". No início da série, eu jamais diria que Fah era má e manipuladora, e menos ainda que Win se apaixonaria por Porsche.

Agora o que não consigo perdoar é o final!!! Pelo amor, que raios de final é esse, onde Porsche visivelmente esperou por Pun e ainda o ama, e Pun idém, e por um mal entendido eles não ficam juntos???

A ost é fraquinha, a atuação é amadora, mas a historinha é legal se ignorarmos os erros técnicos.

Indico a série, gostei de ver e pretendo ver de novo.
