This is the first PeteKao series that I have watched so I had no idea how deep their relationship was prior to the events of DBS.

Story
The story has a simplistic plot -- 2 people in love and their relationship is being tested by a 3rd character. This made it very relatable as the characters experience trust issues and jealously. The subplot of Sun and Mork made the story even more endearing as it offers the usual Yaoi trope of a flirty seme and a flustered uke.

Acting
Non was extremely annoying and I think AJ Chayapol gave justice to this character. There were times that I had to pause the video because I just can't stand Non's sly tactics and Kao stupidity. Also, props to Pluem Pongpisal just for being too cute. ugh. lol

Music
The opening music is legit the best in Thai BL!

Rewatch Value
I would definitely watch this again, but I would have to make sure that I am mentally prepared for Pete and Kao's foolishness.

No tears left to cry

I was excited to watch this series because of the good reviews. The premise of this series is different as it is more on the drama side of things and touches on several topics as the story progresses. I like how food and old Thai culture were used as plot devices, it is rare to see a BL series that shows these.

Things get really slow later on in the series and there were a lot of internalization scenes, wherein we watch the character cry or reminisce the past and we'd be shown a flashback that we've already seen before. Sometimes, these scenes would last 5-10 minutes. 5-10 minutes of Pharm just crying.
And there are too much staring and just looking at each other. There are no episodes wherein this would not happen. Literally no tears left to cry for Pharm.

The family tree also gets messy and really this took away the drama because it left me confused as to whose family is who. I had to google their family tree for me to better understand this (okay maybe I'm nitpicking on this part).

The actors were great and you can feel how professional Fluke is. I can see a little struggle with Ohm and Nine on some of the crying scenes, but other than this they were both enjoyable to watch. As with many other BL dramas, I always find myself shipping the supporting characters. Team and Win are just adorable and I always look forward to their scenes. I'm also happy that Sammy finally gets a boy!!!

I have only recently started watching BLs again after a long hiatus from the genre. The character archetype in Tharntype is not far from other BLs I've watched in the past, however, the actor's ability to portray the role (most especially Gulf), set this apart from many teen drama or coming-of-age TV drama. Many of the supporting roles actually helped the main character's development rather than be a slap-stick comedy or an airtime filler. In addition, I love how the series actually tied all storylines and gave everyone a closure!

Diving into this series right after watching 2 Moons helped me understand whats going on in the first few episodes. The description of the series may come as a remake of the original 2 Moons, but this is a continuation of where 2 Moons left off. I think the production gave us a summary of season 1 as the viewers won't be able to connect to the new actors but old characters. If you have not seen 2 Moons, episodes 1-4 may feel rushed and severely cut short. However, after Episode 4, new materials will be used and the storytelling will have proper pacing to it.

The actors portrayed their characters well given that most of them are first-time actors. I have to admit that I can't help but compare season 1 and season 2 actors. They both have their own strengths, but season 1's production failed to maximize it. Season 2's pairing for me hits the spot, especially with their supporting characters. Nine and Chen are just perfect couple while Pavel and Dome give the right amount of naughtiness to it (talk about that bedroom scene!)

I am so glad I did not give up on watching after my frustration with episodes 1-4. And now, I can't wait for Season 3!

Similar but different

The Stranded is probably by far the best Thai series centered around teens that I have watched. The show has many aspects that are clearly rooted from the US TV show LOST and from the book Lord of The Flies.

There may be similarities, but you can feel that The Stranded has its own identity and never struggled to show it throughout the entirety of the series. Gay relationship is almost trivial and not a biggie. The director also managed to focus on the deeper bond and what makes Krit/Jack tick instead of them being just a horny gay couple.

The director effectively used plot devices like "flashback" and "hallucinations" to tell the character's past. I like how at some point I was hating on Ice but then during his fake exorcism, I found myself reaching for the paper napkins to clear some dirt on my eyes.

The incidental music used is similar to LOST wherein the objects are the ones creating the ambient music and this makes each scene even more eerie and mysterious.

One of the reason I've watched this show is because of Perth Tanapon and Mark Siwat. I know that their management is making "them" happen. As a Perth fan, I'd rather see him with Saint but of course its their management decision that will prevail. I just hope that they will reconsider.

I would highly recommend The Stranded to sci-fi/thriller/mystery fans! I can't wait for season 2!

Story:
I had to remind myself that this is a mini-series and I can't expect too much depth in terms of plot or character development. Perhaps if they made this into a single 1.5-hour movie, there would be a lot more into it that was in the show.

Cast:
I'm a fan of TinCan (and MeanPlan for that matter) and sadly they have been typecasted to these roles. Having Mean try to be cute and Plan to be a little grumpy is would not just work like that especially for a 2 episode series.

Rewatch Value:
There are no moments that you would want to see again. So, I wouldn't be rewatching this anytime soon.

Overall:
This could have been a 1.5-hour movie with enough plot and subplots that could very much improve the path of the story.

The story of this 4 episode series is effortless. It doesn't have an elaborate back story nor a complicated twist, it just shows how Gun and Bar developed as a couple with minimal character development. That makes it easy to watch, at least for me.

I find the actor that played Gun, good looking but not as much as the story is trying to portray. I don't want to be mean, but casting is very important part of the story telling. It's his first series and I hope he will continue to improve himself. Even though this is just a small seriea, they managed to have a lot of supporting characters, which I find enjoyable to watch. Vee is cute. Beam is cute. Lol

I don't know, but I like TOSSARA more than Love Mechanics. But they are equally good series.

The underlying main plot is clear and understandable, however many of the subplots do not add value to the storytelling. Although I know that these subplot characters are used to tell different lessons and ideas it has taken so much from what could have been used to add depth to the series' main characters.

Comparing this to season 1, the actors have quite improved most notably Peak and Ohm. There's still the usual Thai-BL-series long pauses and just smiling at each other. Could they have added a dialogue here and made the story even better? Maybe. There's also the addition of slapstick comedy in the form of "Lily." In my opinion, this is unnecessary, but I guess the directors wanted these scenes to give the audience a break from Book's sulking.

Luckily, the final episode tied everything nicely to give us an ending we craved for.

The story started out beautifully but as the season progresses each episode's quality goes a notch lower. There were a number of scenes that could have been removed and it would make the whole storytelling much better. Moreover, there should have been more scenes explaining the rift between the two subplot characters -- Knock and Korn as it feels as if no real conversation happens between them.

I watched this series after finishing Together With Me so I'm a little aware of the actors' abilities in portraying their role. The director tried to keep a little slapstick comedy into the series and in my opinion, this did not fair well to the overall story.

The ending was extremely laughable, with Beauty turning into a superhero, Dear and James being together and Yihwa throwing a fit at the party.
