Exceed Expectations!!!

At first I thought this series is one of many, not unique and mainstream. I was right and I was wrong. Yes, BBS is one of many but it is so unique that it vanquish all of the cliches in typical BL dramas that we loathe. I would like to dissect this series in few criteria:
1. The Actors & The Acting
I have watched Nanon and Ohm in their previous works and no doubt that they are good but BBS has elevated them to the
point of being great. Their chemistry is out of this world. Whether its spoken dialogue or mere body language, they both
nail it. I could feel the pain of jealousy and the pain of longing just by looking at them. Not many actors can do this. The
supporting casts also nailed their character. Pat's father and Pran's father make you wanna punch them in the face.

2. The Story Line
Yes it is a university theme BL but its not the focus of the show. Pat & Pran's relationship still the major focus how they
navigate their feelings and uncertainty overshadowed everything else.

3. The Realistic Reality
- What I love the most about BBS is that it shows Asian cultural point of view in realistic way. The obedience of the
children to the parents no matter how naughty they may seem. The un-selfish family-first attitude and conflicts being
not resolved with words of apology. Unlike normal series, the happy ending comes fast and certain, BBS shows that it takes
time to heal.,,, and time can heal.

4. Directing
- Aof proving that he is indeed the director of choice for BL world. All the cliches and bulls***t of BL he vanquished it
in BBS. Aof also managed to fool the viewers by the of episode 11 with the trailers for episode 12. It made me depressed
for a week in waiting for the finale. It is nothing like it seems.

5. The Music
Nanon is indeed a very talented singer and musician and the theme song revelation by the end of the series makes us
appreciates the series even more.


Do watch this series and I hope Netflix pick it up for the whole wide world to watch.

Great story & Great Visuals

Im not going into details of the story lines and the characters. As a non Thai who frequently visit Bangkok for leisure, I love how the shootings were done and places that I always visit. The visuals are beautiful yet raw.
The beautiful casts do help in this drama with their looks but their talents also cannot be undermined. They carry their roles very well... Over the top sometimes but very entertaining indeed. Once again my favourite - Max shows his best ...
This series has potential to have sequel and I hope the production will give it a chance. I need to know how the couple will carry on with their relationship.

Extraordinary Lakorn - You love it, hate it & love it again

I started with no expectation whatsoever with this drama. None of the actors familiar to me. Just go along with recommendation by Netflix.

Episode 1 - Walaa... I just hooked from the start. The visuals are great. The actors & actresses are gorgeous.

The key strength of this series is none other than the great acting of Mark & Nittha. The chemistry is superb and the expression of emotions are out of this world. All other characters are also well portrait.

Plot twist are plenty and it made my heart worked harder to absorbed any potential scene that could made me a cry baby.

I love the great exhibition of Thai & Myanmar's cultures in this series in spite this is a very modern setting.

Watch this series guys and you all won't regret it.
