10/10

The whole story evolves around two characters and it's briliantly done. From first moment i fell in love witch Ling Jiu Shi, he's greatly written and his flaws are recognized which made me feels at peace at some point. The whole bromance/bl story is amazingly done and from chinese streaming system point of view, i get it why it got banned, you can feel the love though the screen! All of the characters has some bad characteristic points but also some good, i think it wasn't badly written because of this point. You usually see in movies perfect characters, they're not relatable and they feel odly fake and not trusting. Even though Ling Jiu Shi is supposed to be a strong and smart character, you can see the humanity in him, he's still a person at the end of the episode.
I wanna talk a little bit about the story of The Spirealm. I'm familiar with the fact, that it is not the same storytelling like in the novels. BUT i feel they got it covered even though they changed the story brutally, it still feels the same i guees. The thrill, love, pain and all the other emotions felt exactly the same as the book goes. Personaly, it left me heartbroken and made me think a lot when i was watching though episodes, i didn't expect that big of an impact.
Acting and cast was greatly selected, it fits the vibe, characters fits the characters, nothing more to add. One thing i was extremely suprised about was that the twins in the series were played by the same one actor. I didn't noticed at first, but when i took a closer look you can see that they're almost never in the same frame. Both characters were extraordinary, the acting when they appeared on the screen is memorable, they left a big impact on me, great job actor.
I hate the fact that it got banned not even after one day of streaming! Thanks a lot to everybody who watched it and post it online, this treasure isn't suppose to be hidden from the world. How hilarious it must be, when even their music is banned... got me thinking a lot but also made me laugh, panthetic don't you think? Anyway even though it's not actually out yet because it got banned so you're not supposed to even know about this, the whole series is very good and i think you're going to like it. Some people could say it has bad CGI or bad actors, but that's not the point. Even when you have small budget, you can make a masterpiece. And they did. At the end of the day, this is so much better than shows with more budget or famous actors, the thing you have to care about in watching series, is the story. I like the story, i love it. Ofcourse it had some flaws, but that's something everybody have. I think, if it could be perfect, it would lost the meaning and the spark. Think about it, would you watch something that is perfect? me neither.

You can find the series at dramacool (78 episodes) or at kissasian (38 episodes). Episodes are the same, no difference between them (don't worry i watched both versions, there's really no difference :). I hope you will enjoyed, just like i did, have a great day!

Did we watch AtomKongthap or FourthGemini?

I'm actually deeply confused about the last episodes. I think I'm missing something from the manga because if I remember correctly, the characters were so much different, specially the main character here played by Fourth. Am I missing something or did they just changed his personality traits?
In the japanese adaptation named Kieta Hatsukoi, the characters were more realistic perhaps they seemed more alive and they were pretty much acting like a normal person would. I don't hate this thai adaptation, don't get me wrong it's great and sweet but it's really THAI of them when you think about it. There's so much unnecessary amount of humour and it made the whole masterpiece look like a joke. It's not necessarily a bad thing, more like a reminder to people.
There is also so much product placement, are we watching FourthGemini or the products? Made me laugh but also got me angry at some point, their advertising is working.
The last thing, the whole 6 ep felt like watching a vlog of FourthGemini, did they just forgot their roles for a moment there? This whole story doesn't feel like the story of AtomKongthap, more like the story of FourthGemini. For some reason, I don't think they're acting, I just can't see it. All I can see is two boys enjoying some quality time together. Somehow, I don't think it was intentionally done by the directors, it feels like it's a mistake of the actors themself. They're not playing their roles, they're playing themselves. Don't get me wrong, I love them and I love their work big fan, BUT their character traits doesn't match neither do gestures, something feels off.
The original story is not bad, it's simple but greatly done, amazing characters and interesting storylines. For me, pleasant show with heartwarming interactions. But this adaptation has nothing to do with the original story. It's just so different and the whole vibe is off and it's just doesn't fit. I love My Love Mix-Up! but it's not the same story as Kieta Hatsukoi, never will be.

I'll continue with my watching, have a great day!
