Knight Fall
Somewhere out there...
Enjoyable watch : The typical Youthful Love set in the university but in a music club
The series started of with Tine's perspective on how he'll meet 'the one' in his life due to the failed relationships he had with his exes. The series also mostly focuses on Tine's perspective on how he develops as well as realizes his true feelings for Sarawat.
I've watched a lot of university setting dramas and I'm definitely glad that this one starts off with the music club in which "music" will be the theme on how Tine and Sarawat will develop their relationship instead of another engineer themed relationship. Although the setting is the common university theme, props to the director or producer for giving it a bit of a twist.
What I like about the series is how Tine and Sarawat had the time to got to know more of each other that's why I love how we got to see the progress of their relationship (their cute, sweet and funny moments) rather than making them have a fast paced relationship in which they kiss and have steamy scenes etc. While I don't have anything against hot and steamy relationships, it's actually refreshing to see slow burn relationships. 2gether the series kind off gives me the vibes or atmosphere of Dark blue kiss and Sotus in which the main couple don't have to rely on hot and steamy moments just to catch the attention of the viewers / audience because their chemistry and adorable moments are just enough.
Another thing that I like about the series are the Soundtracks.. It fits the series and I love how we get to listen to different songs from the indie Thai band, Scrubb. After listening to some of the OST, I fell in love with the band, Scrubb. Furthermore, The songs used had meaningful lyrics which are really relatable if you have the time to read the English translations of the songs and it also expresses how the characters in the series portray what they were feeling. I actually never expected myself to love Thai indie songs. Trust me, if you listen to some of the Sountracks used in the series, you'll love it if you're a fan of that genre in music... :)
As for the acting and the production, there are Pros and Cons that I've noticed. For the acting, it's actually mediocre for me. There were times where you can see the siffness or awkwardness of the scenes. I cannot really praise the acting 100 percent because of this. Although, we can see the chemistry of Bright and Win, the acting is a little bit lacking. Especially, their facial expressions and bodily expressions. There were times in which it was monotonous or just simply plain. However, props for the actors for still doing a good job in portraying their characters. As for the production, it's also average for me because there times where I felt like the transitions, editing and camera angles did not fit some of the scenes in the series.
For the plot and character development, the pacing of the story is good as well as for the character development of Tine and Sarawat. What bothered me though are the inconsitency of some of the characters and some of the scenes. In addition to that, the last episodes didn't really give much justification for the beginning of the series. The ending will may or may not give you a dry or disappointing feeling (it entirely depends on the viewers peprspective) but yeah.. It was a bit boring or uninteresting for me. Although, the characters have a happy ending. The last episodes were just Mehhhhh...
Lastly, I don't really get why Thai BL dramas are fond of multiple couples in a single show. I'd prefer if they actually cut back on those like there is only one couple (For example : A tale of thousand stars) so that our attention are only focused on them and the plot revolves around that single couple. If not a single couple in the story, two couples would be enough. The disadvantage with multiple couples in a series is that the side couples don't really get to have much screen time and development which will give the series scattered side plots... Sometimes, we need a series that don't rely on sidecouples or multiple couples just to sustain or catch the attention of the viewers or the audience. Though it can be advantageous to some series, sometimes it's not and it can be repetetive if this theme is overly used.
In conlusion, if you're looking for a light, funny and sweet BL thai series with just a bit of angst plus the usual or typical university themed show, you might as well try watching this series. It's average and there are scenes you may or may not like depending on your perspective... Other than that, Enjoy watching.. :)
P.S. I get that some are hating on this series but please don't.. if you're not interested, just don't watch it and stop spreading hate for this series.. :)
