Good Idea but Not Very Cohesive Storyline

The premise of this show is a university where instead of going through thesis defense, their students make a proposal about possible start-up projects that they will present to a panel for a chance to get the funding needed to realize it. There is also the concept of the students there divided into dorms based on their prevalent characteristics when they first come, like Hogwarts. Adds the supposed rivalry between two of the dorm and you'll get a good recipe for any romance series. Which this shows should be able to pull off, but fails since they lack the ability to tell the story in a cohesive way.

There are 3 years gap where Songkhram and Ai supposedly first met and in those 3 years supposedly Songkhram likes Ai but did not do anything to even try to get close with him. Instead Songkhram makes it seem like he likes Meen. And all of this is not shown but told to us watcher by their words. Another confusing things is that Ai supposedly did not have any feelings for Songkhram at first, but it seems even at the early episodes Ai hints that he might have a budding feelings for him. Yet at middle episodes it was said that he never has any feelings.

Similarly, this confusing relationships also shown in both side couples. Bright (I know it was listed as Pipe here, but the subtitle in WeTV listed his name as Bright) and Meen story confuse me in a way that what I thought as unrecruited feelings between them, turns out to be Bright rejecting and avoiding Meen before they even in the university but somehow at the start of the show, it doesn't show that Bright is avoiding Meen at all. Pluster and No also mirrors Songkhram and Ai for their first interaction but somehow they becomes close with each other out of nowhere despite in rivaling dorms.

The premise of rivaling dorms also wasn't really shown clearly at all here. There are nothing that shows these two dorms are rivals with each other, not physically or even academically. The only way we knew this dorms are rival is just the opening where both previous dorm leaders are fighting over Songkhram and from what the characters keep saying over and over.

There are also other examples of the plot where it might make more sense if there are additional scenes added instead of just saying what happens.

What they lack in storytelling however, they make it up with great chemistry and acting between the actors. I am also quite fond of the locations that they use for filming. Ironically, since it seems they did not even have enough time to add additional scenes to better the storyline, they also did not drag too much for the problem experienced by the characters.

Last but not least, even if I wrote what I dislike from this series longer than what I like, do believe me when I say that the good thing still outweigh the bad. Plus the last extra scene from the final episode is a nice surprise for a BL series.

it's a simple series with butterfly in stomach

I usually don't write reviews but I thought I would leave a review here. for one thing this series is just a light hearted simple series. No emotional rollercoaster drama. no girls drama. some educational value at the end. a very nice perfect ending as they said in the series. if you guys want a series very light hearted and not wanting to cry this is a go to series.

the story line is also simple. I don't like the way they seperated the dorm at first but I can't complain too thank God they didn't dwell into it more. they just keep it for the hierarchy purpose but everyone was friendly with everyone just the concept existed that was actually good to see.

subtitles were little off but it was understandable.

Sweet and fun series

The series was a lot of fun to watch. The lead pair and friends were all great. The cast
did a wonderful Job and taking you for a ride through different emotions of jealousy, past love, and future love to be. I love the whole dormitory feel like Harry Potter style where everyone is placed in a dormitory based off the personality it's a very interesting take. The series was a joy to watch and I found my self binge watching it because it was so good and I wanted more. The cast did a great job and showing you growth and development of each character. For me the only down part was the fact of I wish they gave you more backgrounds history about the 3-years from when they first joined till now. That would have been fun to see. I was also not a fan of a piece of the end with leaving Germany, that was not needed for the story and a wast. Overall this serious was amazing from beginning to end it did a really fantastic job in keeping you wanting to see what will happen next.

A torrid sex scene is not enough fuel to get a plane or a car off the ground

The University of Technology and Innovation (UIT) opens its doors to receive new entrants every year. Its strict rules establish that future graduates, all male and interested in engineering careers, have to live on campus. It is divided into six buildings, and each one represents a group, according to the intellectual and physical qualities of its occupants.
Ai (Nuttawatt Thanathaveeprasert - Bank) and Songkhram (Chitsanupong Soeksiri -Earth) are two of the first-year students who will have to participate in multiple tests in an initial day of university orientation.
The striking physical challenges and artistic and mental competitions that they will undergo during the official reception ceremony provide a score that will define which dormitory building they will live in for the next four years.
By being elected leaders of university residences that have historically been involved in a continuous dispute, exacerbated each year with the arrival of new tenants, the two protagonists, without intending it, will end up being rivals, since each one will have to defend the interests of their respective campuses. .
While Ai, the automotive engineering student and car lover, commands building number 3, where the "handsome ones" live, Songkhram, the future aerospace engineer, who dreams of being an aviation pilot, is the guide of dormitory 2, where The "strong and athletic" ones are grouped together.
Bank, who we already saw in the drama 'Friend Forever', but with Ai makes the leap to the leading role in his first BL project, is a reliable boy who is always willing to help others, and shares a room with Touch, his best friend since the day he entered university.
This last character is played by Supanut Sudjinda (Tong), who we saw in the 2022 BL 'Unforgotten Night' in a supporting role.
For his part, Earth, also in his first leading role in BL, but with demonstrated artistic qualities appreciated in the series 'That's My Candy' and 'Even Sun', both from 2022, plays an intelligent and self-confident young man, who enters into frequent pungas with Ohm, (Bhurichon Khumsiri - Neptune), one of the occupants of bedroom 4, who has a close relationship with Ai as he is her cousin and childhood friend.
This is the fertile ground for the relationship between Ai and Songkhram, two “sworn enemies”, to flourish in the last year of their studies. The bitter conflicts and friction accumulated during the race will cause these two people, so different from each other, to first begin a friendship relationship that will soon become love.
To the aid of the two young people, indirectly, will come an assignment that they must present before graduating. They will have to form a team, along with other students, to prepare a project proposal to present to a panel of investors. This task, in addition to uniting them in complicity and romance, will also serve as a pretext to try to deceive their friends.
Despite having treated each other as adversaries, both will admit their secret feelings for each other. Songkhram is the one who will little by little stop fighting with his rival, after confirming that his suspicions that Ai is interested in Meen (Nattapat Suwanich - Pre-Saint) are not true. He will lose his fear and will be forced to reveal his love, realizing that his best friend, the athletic basketball player Bright (Natthaphon Musikanan - Boss), also loves Ai and tries to win him over.
Meen, one of the characters to take into account, is Ai's friend and has problems with class attendance and academic performance, since, along with his studies, he works as an actor in a popular television drama.
Meen and Bright used to be high school friends. However, they have grown apart and barely speak to each other at university.
Pluster (Chawanakorn Donmongkol – Po Te), and Nano (Sarin Rungkiatwong – Rim), are two first-year students who will bring new conflicts and tensions when they join the cast late in the series.
When love surprises the two main boys, they will have to contrive in front of the rest of the students to try to hide the fact that they are no longer rivals, but lovers.
In a script that reflects a weak and boring love story, Songkhram and Ai cannot show off their potential as a BL couple, despite their attractive looks and charming smiles. Embodying well-developed characters, I have no doubt they can become one of the most seductive couples within the genre.
Both the romance of the main couple and that of the secondary couples simmer and take time to develop, causing misunderstandings between them, and annoyance in the public, eager for the timid sighs of adults who act like teenagers to become hoarse. grunts of sexual enjoyment.
The adaptation of the novel "ราชาวิหค" (Racha Wihok) by Chiffon Cake lacks a compelling plot and shows little imagination. The only incentive we have, as the public, is to wait for the octane rating, that scale that allows us to rate the anti-knock power of a fuel when the latter is compressed in the cylinder of an engine, to be higher, and so on, Ai and Songkhram, like combustion generated, start flirting and kissing and thinking about a life together.
While the viewer waits for the couple to begin their journey in a stagnant plot, the repeated clichés, boring scenes and the actions of the characters, a kind of meaningless childish pranks, populate the episodes of 'Destiny Seeker'.
Only after the protagonists become adorable boyfriends with cute flirtations and romantic scenes in which there is no shortage of fun teasing and erotic games, while they hide their love from their friends and other students, the hitherto hidden BL material gains intensity and explodes with the essential fuel to get both cars and airplanes off the ground.
With a narrative that finally takes shape in the bodies of the two boys, the series enters, with plenty of momentum, into the last episodes, allowing visibility to a tender romance between two attractive young people who flirt deliciously.
The climax is reached in the passionate encounter of the young people in the final episode, in an act that borders on wild eroticism, but artistically polished like an exquisite jewel.
A hot sex scene will make even the viewer most accustomed to strong erotic images blush, due to how few they are in BL genre series.

The story

The story and plot is simple but the way they executed it, is awesome. No cringe scenes the visual is attractive. Don't get fooled with the low ratings, this serie is worth watching. From the beginning we got to witness songkram's love for Ai, but unable to confess. Gradually they became close creating a strong bond that lasted till the end of happy ending. I think i've watched multiple times already and will still continue to do so.

MY BUTTHOLE CAN TELL A BETTER STORY THAN THIS!

The whole uni setting pissed me with how ridiculous and stupid it was. Also for a guy who is supposed to be the head of a department known for their looks, his haircut is worse than fucking Rock Lee!
Also at first, I thought it was modelling majors vs physical education majors, but talk about the disappointment.
I only watched one and a half of the first two episodes, so I truly do not deserve to give such a scathing review to something that may get better later on (Which I highly doubt given how the first two episodes were downright awful). The first episodes are supposed to hook you with a glimpse of something spectacular, but I got more ASS in writing for these episodes than I would for a porno!
This garbage truly does not receive the 7. 5 stars given to it, based on the first two episodes alone.

Don't miss out!

This is exactly what I was looking for perfect enemies to lovers. There was so much content to explore. This is another one of University bls i liked otherwise I am not a fan of University bls because some of them are childish. But this was just the perfect mix of nc scenes and fluff scenes. You just need to get past the first few episodes and then it's a heaven to watch but if you don't have the patience then you are missing out on something so interesting. Or maybe it's just not your cup of tea.

Une excellente surprise dans le paysage des BL universitaires

Je n'avais pas spécialement prêté attention à ce drama au point que j'avais complètement zappé qu'il dormait dans ma Watchlist. Mais bon, comme je fonctionne par phases dans mes visionnages et que les BL Thaï, aussi neuneus soient-ils parfois, restent le meilleur moyen pour moi de me détendre quand je veux un truc léger et romantique, j'ai commencé à le regarder sans attendre grand-chose... et j'ai été très surprise par sa qualité, à tel point que je ne comprends pas pourquoi il n'a pas obtenu une meilleure note sur MDL.

Alors d'accord, on a une fois de plus un BL universitaire dont les protagonistes sont inscrits dans une prestigieuse faculté d'ingénieurs. Mais disons que la comparaison avec les habituels BL pour midinettes à la "2 moons" et autres "My Engineer" s'arrête-là. Si on oublie le côté bancal du premier épisode (des flash-back mal identifiés comme tels au début et un saut dans le futur d'une ou deux années qui nous perdent un peu si on ne fait pas attention), le postulat de base un peu facile (des dortoirs qui sont en rivalité histoire d'ajouter une "tension" artificielle aux romances) et ladite rivalité qui est davantage déclarative que montrée parce que tout ce beau monde a quand même l'air de s'entendre pas trop mal, on passe un très bon moment devant ce BL qui relève sacrément le niveau.

Maintenant que j'ai abordé les points un peu bof, passons aux points positifs :

- Un scénario plutôt intelligent qui, même s'il se concentre beaucoup sur la romance, nous montre aussi la réalité de la vie de ces étudiants : leurs rêves d'avenir sont évoqués, et le projet qu'ils doivent présenter est fouillé, dans les scènes où ils travaillent à plusieurs dessus, bah on les voit vraiment travailler dessus et ces scènes ne servent pas juste à introduire des moments d'intimité sous prétexte qu'ils bossent dans une chambre et que "oh, ça tombe bien, y'a un lit à côté".

- Des acteurs aussi agréables à regarder que talentueux, et étonnants de naturel particulièrement dans les scènes intimes. Pas de timidité mal placée, de débiles rougissants au visage crispé dès qu'il y a une tentative de bisou, d'ailleurs je dois préciser que pour le coup c'est plutôt le spectateur qui rougit. Sur ce point, Destiny Seeker n'a pas grand-chose à envier à KinnPorsche, si ce n'est que les scènes de sexes sont rares ici. Mais les relations sont saines, et sur 10 épisodes sans longueurs ni répétitions, ça nous suffit amplement. L'acteur qui joue Meen réussit parfaitement à montrer en même temps l'excitation et un zeste d'incrédulité quand vient enfin la concrétisation qu'il n'attendait plus avec celui qu'il aime depuis toujours, quant aux deux acteurs principaux ils m'ont carrément scotchée tellement ils semblaient à l'aise. Même le baiser du troisième couple m'a surprise parce que l'acteur qui joue l'initiateur de ce baiser fait vachement jeune et il s'en sort plutôt bien (en vrai il est déjà majeur mais on ne dirait pas). Soit dit en passant, aucun d'entre eux ne m'était familier. Je ne sais pas où ils les ont dégottés ceux-là, mais ils feraient mieux de les chouchouter...

- Une bande-son vraiment sympa, qui n'a rien à voir avec les musiques tradi des BL thaï et absolument pas répétitives. Mention spéciale au son lounge durant la scène romantique des protagonistes, c'est au moins la deuxième de cette série que j'ai shazamée.

- Pas de séjour bénévole pour réparer une énième école de province. Pas de mangeurs dégueulasses qui s'en tartinent plein la joue et que leurs chéris essuient amoureusement. Les scènes de cantine sont rares d'ailleurs. Pas de gros gays efféminés tournés en ridicule. Pas de fan-clubs constitués de midinettes stupides, ni d'evil bitches amoureuses d'un des héros (en même temps, c'est vrai que des filles, on n'en voit pas beaucoup...). Pas de scènes à rallonge qui ne servent à rien sauf à meubler (comme dit plus haut : 10 épisodes, c'est suffisant). Pas de scandales sur les réseaux sociaux ou de niaiseries liées à une quelconque popularité. Ils sont étudiants, c'est tout, et on s'en fout s'ils ont l'air cool dans leurs chemises d'ingénieurs - qu'ils ne portent pas souvent d'ailleurs, l'uniforme ne semblant pas obligatoire en toutes circonstances. Bref, si l'intrigue en elle-même n'a rien d'exceptionnel et qu'elle reste dans un contexte plutôt classique, elle sait éviter la plupart des clichés (pas tous hein, mais bon, ça reste rare).

- Des décors agréables. D'habitude dans les dramas universitaires, on reconnaît souventl'environnement interchangeable dans lequel les personnages évoluent (les préaux avec les grosses Audi ou les deux-roues, le parvis de la fac, les chambres Ikea, la cantine, etc...). Et même si on a quand même droit à un week-end au bord de la mer comme dans de nombreux BL, l'hôtel et la plage m'ont semblés différents. Alors certes, ça reste une histoire qui se déroule sur un campus, avec des dortoirs classiques, mais les créateurs de la série ont quand même trouvé des lieux nous donnant l'impression qu'ils se sont un minimum creusé le ciboulot pour nous offrir quelque chose d'un peu nouveau.

- A aucun moment on nous bassine avec les positions de chacun au sein du couple (qui est top, qui est bottom, ou autres idioties sur les "hubby" et "wifey"), je pense que les créateurs de la série ont porté un soin tout particulier au fait d'éviter les schémas hétéronormés visant à rassurer l'audience habituelle formatée aux cases toutes faites, pour coller davantage au réalisme attendu par la communauté LGBTQ+. Je n'irai pas plus loin sur ce sujet car ce sont eux les mieux placés pour en juger, en tout cas c'est l'impression que ça m'a donné.

- Une ou deux scènes d'humour sympathiques et bien exécutées qui m'ont bien fait rigoler. Et puis une chouette fin que jusque-là, je n'avais pas encore vue dans un BL. Je ne spoilerai pas.

Bon j'arrête là sinon j'en ai encore pour des plombes et il est plus d'1h du mat'. Quoi qu'il en soit, et je sais que je me répète, ce drama m'a surprise dans le bon sens parce que j'attendais à un truc classique, et bien que l'intrigue reste légère et ne s'écarte pas tellement des rebondissements attendus, on nous offre des acteurs, une mise en scène et des dialogues qui changent de l'ordinaire. En dépit du 1er épisode qu'il faut plutôt considérer comme un "brouillon", c'est un bon drama romantique qui a des allures de BL universitaire, sans en reproduire à la lettre le cahier des charges vu et revu. Comme quoi, il ne faut pas désespérer.

Пазл соберется не сразу.

Понравилось. Есть много вопросов, но постепенно о них забываешь. Выдержать первый эпизод, дальше начинать потихоньку собирать пазл. Первое что привлекает внимание - это нет жесткой агрессии и вражды между героями. Университет. Главное в моем пазле, что это все инженеры. И довольно интересная система распределения студентов по общежитиям по их сильным, лучшим качествам. Правда, я возможно упустила, что там с женским общежитием. Посмотрела первый эпизод и думала дальше, даже из-за красивых (реально красивых по мужски, все без исключения мужчины) парней. Показалось по детски сюжет будет. В прошлом, многие лакорны были завязаны на главной паре - их бывшие и так далее, тут нам дают сладость в виде других пар и постоянное ведение их по сюжету. Это очень здорово. Интерес к этому лакорну еще в том, что зрителя еще многим моментам учат. И добавки переводчиков "мы покупаем воздух" можно разделить 50_50, т.к мы должны понимать, что есть люди зависимые от чистого воздуха. Ведь правда лучше комфортная маска, чем килограммы лекарств. Понравилось постоянный физический добрый контакт, дружба без выгоды и поддержка, любящие поддерживающие родители, ну и конечно 10 эпизод и эта сцена. Это было слишком жарко ребят, ну и фантазия покинула голову, что вы там творили. лол.
что смущало: этот чертов первый эпизод. Что за ....творился на отборе, да еще и с раздеванием? Настолько запутанные истории прошлого и отношений всех пар, что пока пазл соберешь, уже и забыл ху из ху. Что же по актерам. Ну дебютантов у нас в главных двое Это Сэйнт (Мин) и Босс (Pipe) , но играли превосходно. Главная пара - ребята играют не первый раз и поэтому, могу сказать, что актерская школа только улучшилась. Красиво, эмоционально. Сюжет прост на самом деле, но милый. Без перемоток в этом лакорне, так как последние от Таиланда я что-то не воспринимаю нормально и мотаю. Концовка хорошая. я довольна.
