Enchanté (2022)

I am enchanted by the series. Force & Book are so freaking good.

One of the most matured BL series I have seen.

I love the simple yet engaging storyline.

Lead pairs are damn good. Their visuals, their acting, their expressions Oh My God everything is on point. I just love them. Force & Book have done a great job.

Storyline - It is the most subtlest series of this kind. Literally, there romantic scene are so smooth and not cringey at all.

Cinematography- It is captivating to the eyes. It just hold on the people to seeing more.

A great watch !

PS - Dont get yourself fooled by the ratings. Watch some episodes then judge it.

This does have a few roundabout spoil, but not the whole thing.
I found this to be a refreshing drama of how Akk and Theo finally expressed there love for each other. For me the actors did an excellent job portraying there characters that you felt there emotions sadness, lonely and love.
I like how the story began when Akk attacked theo thinking he's a robber until there eyes meet and you could feel Akk happiness inside himself.. The idea of theo using the book Enchante` to get akk attention and not realizing he has 4 suitors claiming to be him. With Akk helping, he trys to make theo realize that they all want something from him since his dad is the head of the college. The secret behind the real Enchante is reveled and like me i only got part of it wrong. I understand why theo did it in order to have akk admit his feeling for him which can be seen thru some flash back to their childhood and meeting once Theo came back from France. I felt sorry for Akk a few times with how Theo treated him since theo would get mad at Akk for the same thing. All in all i am happy with how they fixed there relationship

ForceBook Saves the Show!!!

I came here after "Boss and Babe" and I love the dynamics ForceBook has here. Especially Force, who has a very different character in this show, displaying his versatile acting!

Their chemistry saves the show! There are moments where I got frustrated by the plot, especially the drama revolving the 4 guys in it, but each time ForceBook kept me going with their chemistry

There are parts where it might look ridiculous and all, but if you stay on, like I did, you'll understand the reasons why everything happen the way it does. It is actually really sweet!

Also, the ending is beautiful, and I love all the little details they put on how ForceBook are expressing their love for each other, in a subtle not subtle way lol

My fav? The fact there is no typical top-bottom, overjealous toxic drama! But, pure love, support and understanding for one another, as a friend and as. a lover.

Don't read what other people say about the show, especially the negative rating. Watch it and rate it for yourself. If you don't like it, simply drop it. But, if you don't give it a shot, you might just miss out a beautiful love story!

this series gave me EVERYTHING

im just gonna jump straight into this review because i have so many feelings about this show and i need to get them out

pros:
okay so firstly, the production and overall vibe. it was such a cozy show to watch like the coloring used was so warm and bright and gave me light academia vibes. i was hooked once i realized the entire show was like a love letter to books and education, my favorite things. i also loved that it was a comedy but they didn't rely on weird sound effects or slapstick humor to take away from the plot.

next, im gonna talk about the biggest point of contention with people: the plot. ik a lot of people have opinions on this but mainly what i have to say is the girls who get it, get it, and the ones who don't, don't. i thought it was very well-written, the pacing made sense, and all of the characters had motives for their actions, whether people liked them or not. the magic of this show is that it went against people's expectation that it was going to be a traditional male harem story with theo entertaining these 4 boys and discovering at the end, he loved his best friend all along. instead, what we got was something completely different and BETTER. there's ample mutual pining, tension, the best portrayal of childhood friends to lovers I've ever seen, and fluffiness.

now, the characters! THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS SHOW FOR ME. if you like character-driven shows, this is for you. theo isn't your typical bl protagonist and some people don't like that but i thought it made him really interesting and gave him layers that i feel like a lot of characters in bls don't have. the main plotline is about theo's personal journey to changing his worldview and i love him dearly for it because he makes mistakes, he's dramatic, and most importantly, he's /human/ about it. our other main character is akk, literally the BEST BOY. like legit hes never done anything wrong he's amazing and i LOVED seeing him be loved and wanted.

now let's talk about the chemistry because oh my GOD. not only did forcebook have the friend chemistry down but the romantic chemistry was insane. the 15 years of friendship between forcebook really jumped out and it's not only the easy going friendship they portrayed amazingly but also they nailed the friends to lovers transition SO well. the tension, the pining, and the KISS. i'm not a person who really cares about kisses in dramas but jesus the kiss scenes in this were SO good and hit all the right emotional beats.

cons:
the main con for me is just that i wanted more fluff and talking in the finale but oh well it didnt really take away from the show for me

overall thoughts:
enchante is a comfort series for me and a show i'll rewatch whenever i need some quick serotonin. it's light, fluffy, bright, and just a cute little romcom to pass the time :) this show is my baby and i'll forever appreciate it

I Think It Could Be Good

I just started watching it, and I think it has potential. I really like the two main leads, and think they have great chemistry. Force has great expressions that really make his delivery of the lines impactful, Book's expressions aren't as exaggerated, but I can see the intentions of the character through his acting. I think the chemistry between them is great. Oh and I really love the actresses who play Akk's sisters, they are so funny and adorable.

The story line is definitely interesting, but I can't imagine them putting Theo with anyone else but Akk, or else I'll be really upset. I'm interested to see how they will handle the discourse of Akk and Enchante as Theo's potential romantic partners. I think it could be great if they handle this well.

So far I think the show has potential, but I'll have to wait and see if it will be great.

There will be three main emotions while watching this.

I love this drama so much and the main emotions I felt throughout this were happiness, anger, and sadness which was crazy but it's the main emotions you need when watching a good drama. I love this story so much because of the fact that they were best friends that reconnected. I also love how at least I kept on guessing who it was and honestly to find out that it was Theo the entire time was crazy. And at the end when he moved I was literally in tears crying. I was so sad at the end and when Akk appeared in France, I thought Theo was imagining it but then I found out he wasn't and that he was really there and it was crazy. Overall this drama is an amazing one and I love the fact that it has such a cute happy ending with Akk proposing to Theo.

UNDERRATED

I really can't understand why this show is so underrated. I watched nine episodes thinking "next episode will ruin everything" and episode 10 is indeed a little weaker than the rest of the episodes, but it's stil okay. The show isn't perfect, but it's a good journey.

Let's start talking about Book's acting. I tried to watch ABAAB before watching this show and I couldn't even pass episode six cause I thought Book's acting so forced, I couldn't stand Cher. But in Enchanté I think his acting was in the right place, I think he portraid Theo in a very elegant way. I saw that many people hate Theo, but I think I have a liking to shady characters. I like that he didn't let anyone deceive him, instead he was the one deceiving everybody.

About Akk I don't have much to say, he was perfect, I fell in love with him. I already enjoyed Force's work in ABAAB, but I think here he was amazing!!! Akk is so charismatic it's impossible not to fall in love with him!! And the chemistry... they have sooo much chemistry!!! All the kisses were so delicious!! Also, all the songs are good and Gawin is perfect as Saifah!

About the polemic finale I think the parents drama is indeed boring but I understand Theo, he lost his foundation that was based on his parents love, so he was lost for a while but I think even put himself together quite fast. And I thought P'Sun would be an annoying character who appears in the last episode and fly from France to Thailand just to steale Theo, but he wasn't, he was just a friend and kind of nice.

Anyway, I see lots of terrible dramas with score higher than this, I was even reluctant to watch cause I thought it was gonna be a terrible show, but it wasn't, it's definitely a good show and really fun to watch!!!

USERS & SCHEMERS GALORE! THEO DOESN'T DESERVE AK

With so many toxic and obnoxious characters here (and MAIN characters at that!!), this should be retitled USERS & SCHEMERS. Haha!

The “contenders,” for me their reasons for doing what they did are forced and contrived. From PHUPHA (he wants to move away from his mother. Really??) to WAYO (used funds for gambling) to NATEE (for an exhibit and to keep a club from being axed, really?). SAIFA – It was Theo who asked him to be a part of his inane “Enchante” idea. Really?? Doesn’t make sense if you really think about it.

I hate who they wrote Theo’s part. To me, his character was cold, detached, scheming (yes, he was the one who masterminded this Enchante bs, right?) so he deserved the backlash/consequences he got from the “contenders.” His character was wayyyyy too unfeeling. He doesn’t deserve Ak. Ak deserves a better person. The give-and-take of affection between the MLs is lopsided at best.

Watching the first half of the finale episode, I couldn’t care less if Theo is leaving. Go! And let Ak find someone who will love him more than you do.

The series was too long. It could have been edited to 5 episodes and many scenes could be removed or shortened. Learn from ITSAY and CHERRY MAGIC (both 5 episodes).

But… despite these, the chemistry between the two actors is its asset.

Plus point also: cinematography and camerawork nito. Above average.

7.5 / 10

THIS SERIES WAS TOP TIER AMAZING!!!! until episode 9 part 3......

THIS SERIES WAS TOP TIER AMAZING!!!! until episode 9 part 3...... I would advise everyone to end there and just pretend the last part doesn't exist.

Ok now to a little more thorough evaluation:

EXCELLENT THINGS: Their chemistry was sooooo freaking real I was shaking. Like you can't tell me otherwise. I think I fell in love with Akk❤️🥺❤️ Like my standards has been lifted to heavens now😭. He's such an incredible character throughout the whole series. (Theo is gonna be in the awful section, sorry not sorry). Also the acting of almost entire cast seemed extremely realistic to me and I never felt uncomfortable or awkward with them (exceptions mentioned later). And actually the plot twist came out of nowhere and got me totally startled, like I FOR HELL DIDN'T SEE IT COMING LIKE WHATSOEVER!!! And I absolutely adore them as a couple (shame it lasted just few days.....👀🥲)

TERRIBLE THINGS: I absolutely detested Theo's parents who fell extremely awkward and just not how parents would behave. And sorry Jimmy, but I struggled with his acting already in Vice Versa, but the presentation of Sun was very painful. Plus they put him in a very unfortunate position between an already established couple. I HATED SUN AT THE END EPISODES. Ok but now lets get to the climax of all horrible: THE ENDING. LIKE WTH, I thought there's nothing the directors could mess up, but they surprised me tremendously. THEY COMPLETELY RUINED IT!!! So much so that I'm gonna just pretend it ended after episode 9 part 3 and they stayed as a GORGEOUS CUTE ADORABLE couple in Thailand. I cursed Theo throughout the whole 10th episode. LIKE WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!!!!! Made the whole Enchanté thing just to then leave his boyfriend forever after few day after finally getting together!!! I LOATHE YOU THEO, I HOPE YOU GET TO KNOW IT!!!!!!!!

So far it's pretty boring but I might change my mind

I found the first episode to be extremely fun and the childhood-friends friendship between Theo and Akk refreshing to see. But, even though I've not seen a lot of it yet, I think this series is slow-paced and kind of going nowhere (?) . I don't understand why Theo is so interested in knowing who Enchanté is just from the couple of sentences they have shared with each other. To me it seems like it was very rushed and I'd be upset if the remaining 7 episodes will just be them trying to figure out which of the 4 popular boys is Enchanté. I am happy with the evolvement of Theo and Akk's friendship so far. I hope the rest of the series is balanced a little bit better and that I find it to be more entertaining. But overall, it is not a bad series and I am a big fan of the idea itself.
