What a beautiful story.
Now I will start by talking about the music and go from there. The music in this series was beautiful and fit the situation perfectly.One thing I will say that I disliked about this is in the end that the brothers were different and when I say different I mean. That not many people noticed that Black wasn't himself. I also didn't like that no one knew what happened to Black. It was like it didn't matter.
Black handled stuff with an iron fist while White was gentle and wanted to get along and make sure no one got hurt. While it shows that Black will leave people behind if necessary.
I also didn't like that Gram got with Black's ex-girlfriend but not because of the story but because it felt kind of out of nowhere and forced if you ask me.
I was sad about the situation with Todd but then he did get what he deserved in the end.
Now I will get onto how I felt about Sean. I feel many emotions about Sean I feel sympathy, pity, irritation, and happiness in the end because he evoked so many emotions out of me. I think what Sean needed most was to know someone was there in it with him. That's what White gave him. Sean was also an amazing leader when needed but also had the majority of the dumb ideas.
Now I want to get to my main point which is about White and Black I swear you wouldn't even think they were acted by the same person considering how well they differentiate from each other. Black is cold, dismissive, and unattached a lot of the time. You can tell he cares but doesn't know how to show it. He pushed people away and keeps them at arm's distance because you can tell he doesn't want to be hurt. He is also a lot more aggressive than his brother. He doesn't value many in his life but his brother means the world to him.
As for White, he is gentle even the way he talks is softer. The way he approaches people makes them put their guard down around him. He is very loyal and caring. He often is the one getting hurt by his brother because of their link to each other but he always wants to be with his brother. If you ask me he sacrificed everything in his own life to be with his brother. He is not very sneaky compared to his brother which is funny. He also likes to stir up Sean which is funny.
But these two are like night and day. You could tell the two apart just simply by staring at the way they stand all the way to their personalities and how they treat people.
OVERALL: I would watch the show again simply because I love the characters and how they all treat each other.

Not your average BL. Ideas are bulletproof!
The plot is really cool, such a punk vibe.Love how this works, it's not just BL, honestly let's not put this in bl category, this is a show about fighting for your ideas, your beliefs, your voice. Fighting against the system and the government. Not your average bl. The romance here's it's kinda a bonus, yes it's important to the plot but it's NOT the plot, and that's what I loved the most!
You know, mostly bl is just pure fetishism to fujoshis, that thing really makes me pissed. In this story they don't force a fan service and to me particularly, goes in a good and natural flow (the romance, main couple)
On the other hand, the others couples feels kinda awkward to me.
Yok and Dan don't gives me a cool chemistry. The acting of Yok was amazing, he's was the character! But, to me, Dan wasn't that good, he acting skills was lacking. Also they don't give us enough to really feel the love that they supposedly feels (?) You can see Yoks love but can't see the Dans love...
But HEY I REALLY LOVED YOK'S MOM! Representation of deaf people is always appreciated!! Wish she had more scenes tho
Gram and Eugene, I get it, cute, they are cute, just that. But Gram was annoying lot of times. I don't know, the show don't give much about his character, not enough to makes me care about him, in the beginning I really liked him but later he was just boring, in the beginning he seemed really good friend of Black but wasn't, he never really thought "Black" was weird. Eugene acting skills also, don't was that bad but not good though... I didn't like nothing about her, and they lack on the chemistry WORSE than YokDan.
Honestly I am kinda impressed with the acting of Black/White, I was expecting the worse since the first show that I watched of this guy was Love Theory (?) and oh gosh I HATED everything there. It's not easy make two roles in the same show at the same time, he was really good on that.
Since I didn't watched many Thai dramas yet, I definitely wasn't expecting good on here. It's cool, really cool, to this moment the best of GMMTV that I watched. It was worth all the almost 14 hours I spent here, I watched everything in two or three days . Not perfect but definitely GREAT!
Now things that REALLY ANNOYED ME:
1- White change to Black really fast, that tattoo would never be okay in just a day, also the earrings tho. He just become Black and his dad never noticed shit! That's how you have a present father who is absent at the same time. His dad never asked when did you pierced your ears? Where you've been? Nothing.
2- They give us a feeling that Sean knows that White wasn't Black and they're twins. I think was in the episode 9 or 10 that Black comes back, they showed us a flashback of Sean asking to White (that was pretending to be black yet) "Are you nearsighted?" "Do you have a brother?" And also back them Sean saw the glasses and the eye contacts while turned Black's entire room upside down AND supposedly he got Black drunk precisely because he was suspicious. Then when the real Black appears smoking and being rude, Sean didn't notice that this guy wasn't that "Black" he loves. And then he really got angry and crazy insane. This part I HATED SO MUCH because seems really bad written...
3- What happened after Todd tried to drown Black? They talked some shit then cut the scene then Black is okay appears doing something. That's bad.
4- The kisses... Ugly... Really ugly. White x Sean kisses... Just ugh ugly. Don't know how explain but was really ugly lol I prefer zero kiss scenes than that shit.
5- They didn't showed us why Black hates his mom, I mean, kinda, but what the hell made them break the contact? After all, she's a mother, but don't seems like one.
That's it.

One of the best ones yet
This is truly a great series, from the plot to the characters, everything was executed beautifully.I love the main couple, although I was a bit confused when they started falling in love, but sometimes love is just a mystery, I thought it was beautiful and very cute. I like how ML wasn't actually hidden in the dark, that he has his own guesses about MC's character. Second cpl is so cute too, though a bit more angsty in my opinion.
The plot twist was interesting, although my gut instinct actually told me this would happen from miles away. I was a bit confused about the motive of this character, and I wish they would've expanded on it a bit more.
Overall, i think the setting of the plot is very interesting, i haven't come across any plotlines like this, especially in bls dramas. And i especially appreciate how they perfectly executed their relationship, without it being purely explicit, sometimes just a glance and a hug can show a lot more than being super intimate.

A disappearing snapshot ...of that unyielding force...to shape the world to one's own conviction
Before we get serious, am I falling hardcore for First? I think so. Someone save me because I need to study....
You will find many issues and topics to latch onto beyond bl and romance:
- The enemy being the one who knowing better than a friend.
- A group protecting your life because your life is an ideological statement.
- Doing something (art, protest, attack) to express the anger with the state world is in.
- Forgiveness and change come in no order. And lastly... the one I will latch onto...
Existing in a world by working for more than yourself:
While I wish the world worked out in this manner the ROT and their mob, humans are rather more complicated, their interests conflicting and therefore less united.
When I tell you I got the chills when the mob united to save the group.
This is many things. Idealistic. Non-sensical. Pessimistic about the world. Hopeful for a change. Angry. Rebellious. Everything what youth is and represents. I kind of love this cloud of delusion that gives one the sense of being alive. But of course in a 14 episode time frame. And then back to reality.
I mean, I will go on a rant but adults like Gumpa who continue fighting in such manner can do so if they have their own garage, resources and no family of their own who financially depend on. Throw in a child and Gumpa would've acted like the policeman. A lot of adults need to either shut down the fire or find other ways to do channel it. Even White abandons his identity to join the gang eventually. but why White? Didn't you like diplomacy? What do you do like? Until when you will act like Black? I mean, the difference between two is larger than outfits and composure. (But the drama did take a large bite, so I do not expect it to deal with every unclosed circle.)
But this also tells us why many do not...Many do not care about social issues, not because of ignorance necessarily but other priorities, like Yok's mother. And honestly, I do not blame them. This, full-on-100% deliberation is only reserved for the kind of privileged ones we forget - the youth.
But I did feel a sting of becoming an adult and wondering am I going to lose it? Am I losing the sensitivity for social issues because life gets in the way?
We need an uprising in our hearts. A continued reminder. To not allow ourselves not to be mistreated as individuals in our lives by anyone. Ignite the spark, and wake up.
This drama reminded me of it. Which makes it a necessary watch for anyone.
...
Also Dan, you bi***, I ain't forgiving you... so it seems I have some adulting left to do.
Eh, life.
10/10.
Thanks for reading.

I feel a bit unsatisfied?
*happy ending for two couples*Dont get me wrong. The acting was superb. Especially Gun my gosh. I think this series showcased his acting really well. It made me even think that Black is really another actor. I completed watching this just because I really loved Gun's acting in this one.
The ost? The best. I thought I will never find a more better ost than never let me go, but my boy. This got the best. They also incorporated some songs I also heard in never let me go. Save the spotify playlist. Def recommend.
The story is 10 out of 10 as well. The conflict the suspense, the cinematography, everything is the best.
However down to the last episodes, I had to skip some scenes? I dont know why it became boring in the latter episodes even though the romance and the action is in the last parts.
I think OffGun's off screen chemistry is not much shown in the series unlike TOL. Maybe because this series focuses more on the plot of fighting for what is right. Rather than the romance part. It became so not focused that I dont mind leaving the romance between OffGun. Heck, I felt more on screen chemistry with YokDan.
Another reason I think that I am unsatisfied with is becauseI didnt see or realized when Sean fell in love with White. I felt how conscious White is to Sean but not the other way around. There are some moments but I didnt feel that it was tense in a romantic way. Next thing I know he already kissed White.
I just felt overall that the romance and the plot is unbalanced in a way. I just hoped the build up is introduced all throughout the series and not just the almost last part.
Overall, this is one of the best series out there in terms of plot and execution. Must watch but know that the romance is not much the focus of this series.

good story
watch : 3-4 kalikalau kangen sama acting attaphan yang beraneka ragam biasanya nonton ini. walaupun hasil produksi agak kurang tapi ini punya sisi lebih di beberapa bagian lain.
alur cerita yang relate banget sama masyarakat strata atas-menengah-bawah. pencerminan peristiwa fiktif yang mungkin saja terjadi di kenyataan. si kaya bisa saja kejam karena kuasa. si miskin juga bisa jahat karena ga punya harta. juga kita bisa jadi pengamat keji yang ga berbuat apa-apa buat masyarakat.
diantara itu harapan masih ada saat semua mau berusaha memilih jalan yang baik bukan untuk individu atau kelompok tertentu, tapi untuk kepentingan bersama.

In terms of the story, I don't have much to touch on. It was pretty well written (my standards are pretty low though) and there weren't too many clichés either. I will say one pretty big reveal at the end was pretty predictable for me but it wasn't so predictable that it was disappointing or anything, just more like a "That better not be what's happening" when it was indeed what was happening (idk if that made sense).
Honestly when it comes to music in Thai BL's, if you don't notice it or comment on it, they did a good job. I feel that was the case for this drama. Unlike some dramas where there are weird switches in the music or it doesn't fit the scene or there are weird cutoffs or sound effects that don't work with whatever's happening, etc.
I can't really say anything about the acting or casting because I honestly can't tell good acting from bad acting. I think the actors did well and fit their roles well but honestly I would have no clue even if they didn't.
I would totally watch this again and would recommend it to anyone who likes dramas about social and political issues or just talking about them in general. I would also definitely recommend it to any BL fans who are just tired of super stereotypical dramas about some rich guys who fall in love. Again overall one of my favorite dramas.

Best series I have ever seen!
For the first time after watching a series...I am speechless. This series is truly a masterpiece that I will never forget. Where do I begin. I've watched and rated so many series since 2015 and I've never witnessed a truly 10/10 drama before. Everything was so very spot on from the acting, chemistry between multiple characters, not just the main leads, and of course the story was out of this world. It's hard to find a series that truly nails everything...not me is the first exception I've ever witnessed. Thank you so much to the whole team for creating this piece of art that will never be forgotten.Cet avis était-il utile?

It deserves the hype
This was so good, the cast of this series is amazing... I missed Fluke Gawin a lot since Dark Blue Kiss, even though he appeared on Enchanté it wasn't enough, this brings him back from dead ahahhaGumpa really was the man in this series... I think he was the only one who was always honest to himself and to the others, he always did everything he could for the gang and that makes him THE MAN.
Yok, Black and Todd I don't like them but I also do like them? I don't really know how to say it I just think Yok was kinda dumb, he's with no doubts an ENFP ahaa, Black and Todd I sort of hate them but they're so hot that I think I can't hate them
(especially Todd since is my boy Sing character).
Black really creep the sh*t out of me, he had a weird but amazing way of thinking, he was extremely smart and that's hot, we finally receive a short, bottom vibes, inteligent mafia, I've waited a while for this one but I got it.
Sean and White were cute, I really loved the character development that Sean did, how he started to act so cute when he was all over Black (White) but I think that this change of feelings happened to fast, one day they hate each other next day they're eating each other faces, but I'm not complaining ahahha
I loved the ending, this open but oriented ending, I loved the kiss scenes (all of them) and the fight scene were AMAZING.
Gun Atp slayed, as always, this man couldn't act bad even if he wanted to, he really is a freaking good actor.
Overall this sh*t is dope, if definitely deserves the hype... GMM I congratulate you, you finally did it-
