I'M INVESTED

Review for the first two episodes:

This series has totally hooked me with just the first two episodes! The chemistry between the lead characters is fantastic, and the mix of heartfelt moments with genuine romance is really well done. The characters feel real and their relationship is evolving in an engaging way. Each episode leaves me eager for more. If the rest of the series is as captivating as these first two episodes, it’s definitely going to be a standout show. I’m excited to see what happens next!

Review for the 3rd and 4th episodes:

Chefs kiss! This show is a must-watch! The two main leads deliver outstanding performances, and their chemistry is undeniable. The story really picks up in episodes 3 and 4, and it's no surprise the ratings jumped from 7.9 to 8.2. If you're looking for a series that will keep you hooked, this is it!

Review for the 5th to 12th episodes:

I have nothing more to say about this series; all I can say is that it is indeed a masterpiece.

Every episode had me hooked, and the emotional depth and beautiful cinematography only added to the experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-crafted drama. It leaves you wanting more, and I’m definitely hoping for a Season 2 to explore the story further!

Fingers crossed for a Season 2!

"HEAR ME OUT! ENTITLED ON THEIR OWN OPINION"

If it's not your cup of tea then don't try to smell or have a taste with it. Spill it don't sip it. WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK.

In my opinion, labeling viewers of a drama series as pedophiles simply based on their interest in watching it can be unfair and overly simplistic. Such accusations are serious and should not be made lightly without understanding the context and intent of the viewers.

Be informed that the production is in Thailand, so they have their own rules, guidelines and laws concerning age consent, in reality age consent may differ in different countries based on their norms and beliefs.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE TO SWALLOW: From a legal standpoint (based on Thai law), there is no issue with their age gap in ACTED OUT a sexual scene. I think it's all going to come down to what people think from a MORAL standpoint because every potential viewer has their own culture and beliefs based on the country they are living in. So, no one have the right to dictate to other people that they are disregarding their morals and ethics when it is okay with them regarding the age gap of the two main leads who acted out a sexual scene. DRINK SOME WATER TO PREVENT CHOKING.

Don't be problematic here. There's no problem with their casting; it's just that it goes against your MORAL standpoint. But that doesn’t mean they are doing something illegal or immoral.

Concerns about the portrayal of minors in scenes involving sensitive content are valid, if that is really your concern. However, it is clear that IN THIS SHOW, NO ACTORS NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM THE HARM OF BEING EXPLOITED and ABUSED. How I can say that? Just simply watching their EP 0, wherein they show how they produce this series (behind-the-scenes footage) and the reaction video of the four lead actors to the official trailer of their series. I cannot see and feel that they are being abused and exploited. As of now, there are no allegations of abuse or mistreatment coming out from the actors in this series.

Don't make things complicated, if the show violates the law or fails to meet regulatory standards, it typically won't be produced or broadcast.

To those people who keep on spamming here in the comment section about "A MAN KISSING A CHILD" please stop being DELUSIONAL. The way you think is really disgusting. No viewers want that kind of scenario.

This Drama series is based on the novel about two sixteen-year-old boys, who despite their social differences and personal history forge a close love relationship that is ACTED OUT BY PROFESSIONAL ACTORS.

So basically, this drama series is not about "A MAN KISSING A CHILD". STOP BEING DELUSIONAL it really disgust me and clearly your intentions are to put malicious accusations and destroy the show.

Friendly advice: You better do some research to gather knowledge about creative filming techniques like camera angling so it can cure your DELUSIONS and also help you to distinguish between fiction and real-life scenarios. It will help you to understand the difference between what's real and what's acted out in dramas or any form of entertainment.

FACT: Mac and August acted out a sexual scene as consensual, under Thai law, it would generally be considered legal and morally right in their country. AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE TO SWALLOW. DRINK MORE WATER TO PREVENT CHOKING.

These two main leads (regardless of their age) are 'ACTORS' who are passionate about their job at portraying fictional characters convincingly. Criticizing them for their choices or age only undermines the value of their craft and the dedication they bring to their roles. Such disparagement reflects more on the critics' own biases than on the actors' abilities or performances.

It is an early apology when you beg to disagree. Im sorry???

Spread positivity and don't forget to detoxify (y)ourselves. ?

"Welcome to the World of Doors"

Did you know? The Spirealm became a saving grace for those of us who truly cherish Chinese BL and bromance stories. Shortly after its release, it was pulled from iQIYI, vanishing within an hour. But then, as if by fate, a devoted fan came to the rescue, sharing the raw footage through Google Drive. It was like a gift we never expected, reviving something that could have been lost forever. And every episode that followed, with its fan-made subtitles, felt like a small miracle, allowing this beautiful story to reach those who truly love and appreciate it.

I’ve watched it three times already. The first time was the very day it broadcast on iQIYI. But as fate would have it, there were no English subtitles because the platform took it down within the hour. Luckily, one dedicated fan had downloaded the raw episodes just in time. That’s when the real adventure began. I remember a fan on Twitter who, out of pure passion, made subtitles for every episode and uploaded them to a shared Google Drive. Every day, fans like me waited eagerly for the next episode, the next translation. Some tried using AI-generated subtitles, but those never quite captured the nuances.

The second time I watched it on Viu, where I finally got to enjoy a decent set of subtitles that captured the story so much better. And then there was the third time—this time, it was Filipino-dubbed and uploaded on Viu. Hearing the characters speak in my own language made the experience feel fresh and even more personal.

There’s something about The Spirealm that keeps drawing me back. It’s more than just the story itself; it’s the whole journey, from the raw, fan-subbed episodes to seeing it officially dubbed. This series has become a part of me in ways I never expected.

Looking back, I realize how dedicated I’ve been. I’ve been a fan since day one, long before it gained the attention it has now. Back then, it felt like a secret treasure shared by only a few of us who stumbled upon it first. Watching this series again and again isn’t just about the story; it’s about reliving that experience—the anticipation, the community, the thrill of finding something special before the world caught on.

The Spirealm may have faced challenges, but for those of us who love it, it remains a precious reminder that some stories find their way to the right people, no matter the obstacles.

I don't want you to spoil anything about the story but I want you to meet Ling Jiushi and Ruan Lanzhu, who will guide you through a world of mysterious doors. Each door reveals new connections, hidden challenges, and a story that pulls you in with heart and courage. Step through the first door—there’s a journey waiting just for you.

Welcome to the world of doors!
