The Gifted (2018)

Highly Recommended!

The Gifted (2018) is one of the best Thai dramas I’ve ever watched. The storyline is captivating and the character development is complete. I look forward to this sequel and to see how (1) the powers of Pang are further developed, (2) how the entire Gifted Class works together to bring down —SPOILER ALERT!!!— Director Supat.
The only downside of this drama is the uneven acting skills of the cast. They have to find students as the cast so the actors/actresses might be pretty new.

Metáfora da sociedade tailandesa sim ou com certeza?

The Gifted pra mim foi uma grata surpresa. Primeiro pq meu gênero prioritário é o BL desde sempre, então outros gêneros sempre ficam em segundo plano. Comecei a assistir justamente pelo elenco, que eu ja conhecia de várias séries BL, como Gun, Sing, Chimon, Fiat, e também já tinha virado fã do Nanom depois de ter visto a série Blacklist. Desde o ano de 2017. quando 2 moons the series ganhou visibilidade internacional e chamou atenção para a Tailândia, percebe-se um movimento por parte das grandes empresas, como a GMMTV, em produzir conteúdos que fossem vendáveis para o exterior, e mais uma vez eles acertaram com essa série.

O enredo dessa série é surpreendente de uma forma, que não é possível prever o que vem a seguir, que é bom ou mau, de forma gradual vc vai sendo preso numa rede, a atuação dos atores é muito boa. Cada personagem tem uma construção diferente. Todos tem caráteres, motivações e vidas muito distintas, e a série consegue mostrar um pouco do que formou cada um deles. Achei que os potenciais de cada um foram bem escolhidos, mesmo sendo fantasia, não parecia ser algo forçado.

O sistema da escola, embora seja obviamente fantástico, é tão bem construído que em certos momentos me peguei acreditando ser uma situação possível na vida real. Na minha opinião, é uma crítica velada ao sistema escolar e até mesmo social do país, hoje em dia essa críticas aparecem mais abertamente, mas em 2018 não era tão fácil assim jogar isso em rede nacional.

Se esperei os meninos se pegarem? Óbvio! Mas sinceramente não fez falta esse enredo de romance, inclusive não acho que faria diferença se o personagem do Gun fosse apenas amigo ao invés de namorado da mocinha linda do grupo.

A ost é boa, a atuação fantástica, fotografia nem se fala. Não tem o que dizer, tudo muito bom. Assistam!

Kekuatan Super ?!

Ini merupakan series non-bL thailand yang aku tonton sampai selesai, karena memiliki cerita yang menarik. Secara garis besar series ini menceritakan Pang yang merupakan siswa biasa yang tiba-tiba masuk ke kelas berbakat setelah mengikuti sebuah test, padahal temannya yang lebih pintar tidak berhasil lolos ; temannya menjadi iri dan membuat Pang jauh dengannya. Setelah masuk di hari pertama kelas berbakat, Pang mulai menyadari bahwa yang dimaksud kelas berbakat adalah kelas dengan siswa-siswi berkemampuan khusus yang tidak alami ; salah satu kemampuan siswa di kelas berbakat tersebut adalah pengendalian gelombang dan listrik pada perangkat komputer dan alat elektronik lainnya secara magis hanya dengan sentuhan tangan dan pemusatan pikiran. Overall series ini sangat bagus dan menegangkan, selain itu effect CGI yang ditampilkan secara umum sangat natural, tidak dibuat-buat karena bakat para siswa pada umumnya tidak membutuhkan effect CGI yang rumit, selain itu bakat yang ditampilkan pada series ini cukup masuk akal dan tidak terlalu mengada-ngada ; nuansa series ini benar-benar khas dengan saturasi warna yang rendah membuatnya seperti film horror namun ini bukan tentang film horror- walaupun seperti itu namun series ini sangat enak di mata. Series ini mempunyai banyak sekali misteri yang membuat kita semakin lama menonton semakin penasaran. keren!

O despretencioso drama que me salvou da ressaca

Me senti nostálgica assistindo esse drama, a história me lembrou muito aquele desenho X-men Evolution que passava no SBT antigamente.

Sou dorameira há um bom tempo, mas nunca dei muito bola pra dramas da Tailândia, eles nunca tem vez nas minhas imensas listas de pretensões futuras. Acredite se quiser esse foi o primeiro que assisti, e tenho que confessar que não tinha qualquer expectativa sobre ele, mas quando menos esperei já estava tão envolvida na trama que terminei em um piscar de olhos.

Estava passando por uma terrível ressaca doramática e foi The Gifted que me salvou dessa imensa maré de azar. Tinha muito tempo que não sentia essa vontade de maratonar um drama como se não houvesse o amanhã, então só me restaram boas recordações desse enredo.

Ao contrário de outros gêneros que assisto corriqueiramente, a vibe certa para assistir dramas de fantasia só aparece em poucos meses do ano, e esse drama caiu no meu colo justamente na época certa.

Finalizo dizendo que foi bem interessante acompanhar o desenvolvimento desses personagens enquanto descobrem e aprimoram seus poderes e com certeza recomendaria esse drama a alguém.

DISAPPOINTED

Super bothered at the rating so I gave it a try. I was curious about everything.

Since they have the unusual abilities unlike normal students, they're being treated as the "Gifted" and most likely label them "top students" without knowing the abilities they actually have. So the Gifted Program has a motive to awaken then develop the students who have superpowers. It's a secret of the school. Only the Gifted students must know and the administrators. But It's different from academic class. They do that class and move to the Gifted class. Why do they have to play it "secret" when there's a potential to use their special abilities and help other people in varies of ways? It's not unequally treated. Gifted class is totally different and far from academic class.

What I mean is, Gifted = Hero.

And what's the point of other Gifted's stories (experience), and some missions when it's messaging being treated equally. Wondering if they have superpowers? Nonsense and doesn't connect to the main theme!

UNEXPECTED MASTERPIECE

DONT GIVE A SECOND THOUGHT ON WATCHING IT OR NOT..JUST GO FOR IT ELSE YOUR GOING TO MISS ONE OF THE BEST SHOW..

I was not into Thai drama's but recently started watching thai bl drama's that is how i found the THE GIFTED series to be frank i intially started watching for cast Nanon, chinom, Gun, Sing, Fiat and i found thai drama has more potential then just bl drama man these actors are amazing each and everyone of them was a grandmaster of there acting in love with them and also the plot was mindblowing what an amazing story with best actors and characters now im more into the story than actors.
each epiosde was fantastic and how the showed the character development of every main character rather then focusing on one or two character and how all of them got connected during the last moments by understanding each of them.

ACTORS: actually i didnt except that these actors were capable of carrying such wonderful performance (not in disrespectful way) but man each of them were god of acting -- Nanon has pang was a good leader who intially doubted his potential, Sing as Ohm awwww cutieee he was the laughter for making everyone feel comfort, Gun as Pun and Chinom as Wave what to say both were Handsome as hellllll love d them and Fiat as Korn quite which is totally oppossed of the series i watch of them but was good and also the female charcters Lilly as Nam was also a cutie, Jane as Claire was irritating but has time goes on she is also a beautiful soul and Puimek as Mon ohhh superwomen and ya AJ & JJ also did there best but they were supporting character with less screentime. i loved all 10 gifted students they were amazing.

OST: music track was prefect for delivering each emtions

NOTE : dont except bl aspect in this show not everything is about bl ok.. its about the actors, their acting skill, story, screen play

So, this was my first time watching a thai drama and I picked this one cause I'm a sucker for supernatural. And honestly i quite liked it.

There were a lot of things I really enjoyed.

-The story line - how special students managed to pull through the troubles they are having and how having the quality that makes them stand out can also be the reason why they are put on a pedestal or even tear them down. Really brings out the motto, that everything has it's pros and cons. I also really like how they bring in the normal school life with the usual scenarios that are brought to life so the viewers can actually feel and relate to this despite it having supernatural undertones.

I like how the mc becomes nothing to a something but how he still holds on to a strong sense of justice, not letting the power get to him. It also depicts how a leader should be. Not a dictator who does as he wishes but some one who pulls the group together and helps them to stick together as a team. No man left behind. I like how he truly cares for his friends.

I liked the mc's friend's weak punch lines which made the level of seriousness bar a bit lower. And i really like how the villain tries to turn into hero. in fact the growth of each character is seen in each episode, yet the story line does not forget who the main character is, which i found was a very clever way to get the story moving.

However, I would have really liked it if they should the mc's back story as well. As to how he reached each point of his life. so maybe the viewers would be able to justify his actions. Similarly, if noticed only a few of the students in the class had their back stories shined upon and the rest were kinda neglected. Or better way to word it, is that even each student had one episode dedicated to them, they were left and the focus was not back on them again except for subtle hints. It would have been better if they were given a little more attention in other episodes than their own.

I even loved that no CGI or special effects were required to do the supernatural effects (because usually it just feels so fake) and that made it all the more real. Honestly even I might have the ability to do something supernatural like that.

Also there were a few times where I felt the points the drama wanted to get across were not well reached. Even the end of the end, had quite a lot of open ended questions and to me felt a little rushed. Even though it seemed like something failed and there was still hope, i really felt some thing should have ended on a slightly happier not. I get that this was done to build the excitement for the next season but leaving too many questions also leaves people unsatisfied.

- Acting & Cast - Even the acting and cast were really good as I could feel the emotions permeating through the drama. Which for me is very rare to feel in a live action. I could feel each pain the characters feel and could also feel pity for some and understood them. so that meant the acting had to be great and i felt each actor who acted for their part matched very well. The emotions were so clearly seen that it hit hard and I was glad to feel it or I wouldn't have continued with the series.

Over all, this drama was a really good and worth it watch for me. But I would give it a slightly lower score. Only because Im a sucker for supernatural but not for sci-fi.
