Finished for the shake of finishing.

The story line was so so. I like a lot of the cast that is in it though. It was just kind of a weird show. I feel like it ending without the problem being solved which I know in life not every problem is fixed but it would’ve made for a good ending. I’d say this is about as BL as a Chinese BL. Lol more bromance than BL to me. Would’ve been nice if they like officially said they were dating or even simple holding hand to show a relationship. Over all it was an ok show. Probably wouldn’t rewatch but if you like to fill empty days when nothing else is on this would be one to watch.

Appealing to Say The Least

There's no doubt that this series belongs in the, "what the f**k is this" concept and the "why is it so zany and surreal?" category. I haven't seen Peak in another series since Make It Right 1 and 2, so when I heard he was in another "BL" series, I had to watch. But sadly, after figuring out that this wasn't BL, and instead it was "bromance". I decided to put it on hold for the time being. I got to episode four before realizing that nothing was going to go the way that I had wanted. Even though that was the case, I still really enjoyed it.

Let's dive in.

Whoever the wardrobe team was for this production, I want to fall in love with them and marry them. This series, by far, had the BEST costumes that I've ever seen in any "BL" series. Maybe it was due to the fact that they weren't all dressed in the normal Thai bl wardrobe that consists of school clothes, or the usual button-down and slacks, but I fell in love with every single outfit each actor had on. My favorite had to be Diew. The yellow concept was beautiful, and it helped with creating his bubbly and happy personality. The same goes with Mix, the soft blues wrapped his characteristics in a nice little bow. Those two were the ones that stood out to me the most, but another mention is Mueng, absolutely in love with his set as well, especially his little hat. This was the best thing about this series, seriously.

I have to applaud the acting in this, but more importantly, the casting director. This series has an incredible list of names that most definitely drew people in. Peak, Zee, Jimmy, Tommy, Boun, Prem, Boom, and so many others! There was no doubt that I wasn't going to tune in, And of course, the acting was amazing. Even though the acting was overdramatized (of course to keep up with the comedic feel of the show), I was still delighted by each actor, more specifically Peak and Zee. I know they're the main characters, so obviously, but they both did a fantastic job. Jimmy and Tommy's little cameo was hilarious (IDK how I feel about Jimmy having braids in his hair, but cultural appropriation is not the same in every country (although it should be), so maybe that's just something they're not aware of, so whatever, it is what it is), It was something so random and strange, but it was funny, so I had no problem.

The story itself definitely gave me the YYY feels, which is so coincidental since that series is also on hold (haha). I'm not in love with the whole comedic theme of it all, but it makes up for the soft moments, the impeccable wardrobe, Peak's beauty, and the good acting. I will say that the first episode was the toughest to get through. For someone that likes the overdramatic situations and the zany characters, then it would be no problem, but for me, I found it to be way out of my comfort zone. By episode three, I was okay, but a lot of the things that happened were confusing. I understood that Diew couldn't eat alone and needed to find friends to eat with, but what was the purpose of the cartoons? What was the purpose of these moments in which time would freeze, or he ends up in these surreal moments? Even though I loved Jimmy and Tommy's cameo, what was the point of them robbing Diew's neighbor? Lot's of unanswered questions which I'm sure would've been answered had I gotten past episode 4, but when I do eventually finish this show (which will be a PHAT minute) then I can change my review.

This series in the end should've just been a BL. Diew finds people to eat with, but they either make fun of him for not wanting to eat alone, or can't eat with him every day, and then he finally finds someone that also doesn't like to eat alone? The smiles, the looks, the music? I mean, it should've just happened, and I'm not sure why it didn't. The director was the same one from Why R U, and MIR, AND YYY, so what was the problem? Either way, I would've been more attached had Diew and Mix been able to get together. But, then again, I didn't finish it, so maybe they do?

Overall, even though I put this show on hold, I liked the acting, I liked the actors, and I loved the wardrobe. The comedic feel of it all took me out of the story, but I think the concept of him not wanting to eat alone was cute. I wouldn't recommend this show, just because there are better series out there, but I would if someone were wanting to see more of Zee or Peak.

Subtitle Issues

I dropped this series because I personally couldn't watch it with the subtitle issues. Please don't misunderstand, I'm very grateful for subtitles and all the work that goes into producing them. Because the subtitles were inconsistent, I wasn't able to thoroughly enjoy this series as the issue persisted and worsened up to the point I watched. However, if I learn that this issue is addressed and fixed in the future, I will gladly watch it through another time. I thought the cast was good and that the acting was funny and quirky as it seemed this series was supposed to be. Although, I didn't finish the series so I have no input for anything after episode 6.

ZeePeak casal do ano

Minha primeira reação para o cast foi: ZeePeak? Certeza? Será que daria certo?

SIM, DARIA CERTO, DEU CERTO, MUITO MUITO CERTO.

Primeiramente, a história é bonitinha. O jeito como ela é apresentada é beeeeeem diferente, a quebra da quarta parede e o modo como todos os personagens soam sempre "inocentes demais" pode ser estranhada se você não assistir com a mente aberta. Nas tags aqui do MDL o drama é classificado com "ansiedade" e "saúde mental" e é isso que quem for assistir tem que lembrar. Todo o contexto do drama se baseia em como as coisas funcionam dentro da cabeça do Diew, o protagonista, que tem ansiedade e não consegue comer sem alguém do lado comendo com ele. Por isso vááárias vezes eu me peguei pausando o vídeo e pensando "eu não sei o que está acontecendo aqui", porque a mente do Diew é simplesmente singular demais e ver isso sendo expressado graficamente parece não fazer muito sentido. Mas, eu sempre concluia meu pensamento com "mas eles são adoráveis", porque é a mais pura verdade. O teor fluffy de You Never Eat Alone faz com que a experiência valha muito a pena.

Vamos falar (analisar) dos protagonistas.

DIEW: Aquele clichê de história "meus pais se mudaram e agora eu tenho que viver nos dormitórios da faculdade" com o único impecílho de que ele não consegue comer sozinho, então se desespera pra fazer amigos que possam comer com ele. Mas claramente não é sempre que os amigos estão disponíveis, então a luta do Diew é constante. Ele é claramente o personagem mais inocente e eu traduzo isso como "o personagem com o psicológico mais frágil". Quem entende um pouco de psicologia sabe que o inconsciente das pessoas não tem nenhuma máscara social, ele é "puro". Tão puro como os personagens demonstram ser na série.

MIX: Terceiro amiguinho e suporto parceiro do Diew. Eles tem as interações mais soft e a conexão mais fofa e pura. Eu nunca imaginei que veria o Zee da forma como vejo o Mix, as cenas dele e do Diew correndo um atrás do outro de brincadeira quebraram todo o pré conceito que eu poderia ter com o Zee depois de Why R U (não se engane, eu sempre gostei muito dele, só tinha uma visão diferente do ator). O cuidado que ele tem com Diew é adorável, as interações emburradas com o Miew também, mas eu ainda senti um pouco de falta do desenvolvimento da história dele, sendo que o Mix também não consegue comer sozinho (por um motivo diferente do Diew) e o Diew até chega a se perguntar sobre isso, mas a ideia nunca chegou a uma conclusão, infelizmente.

Além deles, temos ainda os dois amigos do Diew (cujos nomes eu não consigo encontrar em lugar nenhum, ottoke) que, em teoria, deviam ajudar ele com o problema de comer, mas sempre parecem estar pouco se importando com as angústias do Diew, o que me deixou bem frustrada, porque em determinada cena eles são realmente maudosos com o Diew e ele acaba perdoando eles muito facilmente.

Temos o primo do Diew e o irmão do Zee, que aparecem para serem nongs fofinhos e ter muito mais cenas romanticas que os protagonistas haha.

E, além disso, temos muitas, mas MUITAS aparições especiais durante os capítulos, como o Boom (par do Peak em Make It Right) que aparece como um entregador delivery que dá mais em cima do Diew que o próprio Mix; O Jimmy e Tommy de Why R U, Boun e Prem de Until We Met Again e o Shane de My Engineer. É literalmente um ataque seguido de outro, você até chega a torcer pra que o Diew não tenha com quem comer, porque isso significa que provavelmente vai surgir um personagem novo do além rs.

Apesar de tudo, eu não reassistiria o drama por conta das cenas confusas no início. Mas eu definitivamente reassistia as cenas MixDiew porque, por mais que o romance não se desenvolva muito bem, o fluffy é excelente e é disso que eu sobrevivo.

trama bella ma non sviluppata

Mi sento stra confusa riguardo ciò che ho visto, quando ho iniziato questa serie non avevo nessun tipo di aspettativa ma adesso che l’ho finito mi chiedo solo “perchè?”, “che senso dovrebbe avere?”, sinceramente non vedo lo scopo o almeno il motivo del fare questa serie, è finita così…senza motivo, non capisco veramente cosa abbiano concluso.
Prima di guardarlo la trama mi era piaciuta molto in quanto la vedevo come una trama particolare anche se breve ma comunque qualcosa di non visto, nel corso della serie mi sono divertita molto a guardare ciò che succedeva anche se molte volte era noioso però tantissime altre volte morivo dalle risate, infatti era molto divertente da guardare ma purtroppo la situazione non si è evoluta in quanto hanno mantenuto quella piccola trama di base uguale per tutti i 12 episodi quindi letteralmente abbiamo solo visto lui che cercava persone con cui mangiare e mangiava…e basta, ceh non c'è stato quel tipo di sviluppo che volevo anche perché quel tipo di sviluppo poteva essere il fatto che lui alla fine riuscisse a superare il fatto di non riuscire a mangiare da solo ma neanche quello vediamo, letteralmente ci hanno lasciato con un finale a casissimo, non si sa se è riuscito a mangiare. Non capisco poi se era incentrato anche su una storia d'amore perché pensavo di sì ma purtroppo non si è capito proprio in quanto non è successo nulla, non dico che doveva succedere chissà cosa ma almeno che loro capissero i loro sentimenti quindi veramente non
so che dire.
Mi è sembrato solo che l'intera serie non abbia avuto molto senso e che si è stata fatta solo per intrattenere e mostrare una storiella buttata un po' lì a caso….purtroppo, dico “purtroppo” perchè se avessero saputo almeno sviluppare la storia, ne sarebbe uscito qualcosa di sensato e completo…peccato.
Fra tutti l'unica cosa decente e carina che è successa sono stati Dung e Muse che hanno avuto quella loro piccolina storiella d'amore innocente, giuro erano troppo carini quando si sono abbracciati, Dung stava vivendo il mio sogno di una vita praticamente.
In generale veramente non so che pensare, questa serie mi è piaciuta e mi ha fatto morire dalle risate, poi ho amato come abbiano inserito dei personaggi che comparivano e scomparivano in un ep, ma come ho già detto purtroppo questa serie non ha un fine.
