Destiny Seeker (2023)

It gets better if you can survive past Episode one

The lead actors are doing their best with an uneven script that has a lot in the way of anything resembling a romance. That is until something clicks for no good reason or no explanation then

...it kicks into high gear and we see chemistry that should have been in earlier. A lot earlier. I blame the script, editing, and director for wanting to be so many things other than a love story.

Without giving any spoilers, there are several couples and only one makes sense as simple we belong together and it isn't the main couple.

But I give it a 9.5 for the last few episodes, if you can last that long you will see why.

Una bocanada de aire fresco

Después de demasiadas series extrañas que han salido estos últimos años, Destiny Seeker se convierte en una bocanada de aire fresco para mí en cuanto a los BLs.

Aunque llena de clichés y escenas sobre exageradas, no deja de ser buena y te regresa a los tiempos de los BLs como Sotus y Kiss Me Again. Lo cual resulta muy agradable para salir de la rutina.

Si al igual que yo quieren un poco de aire fresco después de series con temáticas más complicadas esta es la ideal para ver.

PD no se dejen llevar por el primer episodio, es un poco confuso.

Acting Is Kinda Cringe, Plot Was Good But The Writing And Story Is Really Bad

Acting And Cast:
So Basically it is nothing like bad buddy, Specially the bottom guy he doesn't Know How To Act . His Chemistry With Top Guy Is Cringe Too, Only Kissing Was Good (Because Of Top Guy).
And the junior couple is like kids are playing game their casting is totally bad
I Like The Only Third Couple Of Meen And The Other Guy I Don't Like They Ended up together because meen is really good at acting his emotional scene are so good this drama will be great if they choose meen as ml with that top ml instead of that other bottom ml
Here is the actual acting grades from me
ML (Top) 8.5/10 = He Did Great Job
ML(Bottom) 3.5/10=He Only Have Good Looks Nothing Special In Acting
Friend Of ML and Also Rival (Who Also Likes ML bottom) 7/10= He Is Average But Good
And The Junior Couple For Both Of Them 5/10
Meen/Mean= 9/10 = I Really Want Him As ML with our Top ML

Story :
Guys When i read plot I was excited but after seeing the writing it was so bad starting was confusing but good like 2 episodes after that it gets very bad

Series ringan pengisi waktu luang

Series bL ini sangat ringan ya menurutku, dengan masalah-masalah sederhana yang punya bentuk resolusi yang tidak berbelit-belit. Menceritakan Ai yang merupakan mahasiswa baru di sebuah universitas, dia bertemu dengan teman baru yang dia anggap punya sikap yang sangat berlawanan dengannya ; Songkhram, dia adalah mahasiswa baru yang punya segalanya namun berkebalikan dengan Ai seperti fisik yang kuat, santai, dan cool. Sedangkan Ai adalah pribadi yang manis, perfeksionis, dan berkharisma. Suatu waktu Ai menjadi ketua asrama 2 sedangkan Songkhram menjadi ketua asrama 3 ; kedua orang ini selalu bertengkar dan berbeda pendapat namun ... apa yang akan terjadi? saksikan series ini. Dari segi detail cerita dan dialog mungkin kita agak sedikit bingung ya sebab perlunya kita harus mengenal karakter yang ada, pada awal episode ; series berada pada alur maju mundur yang agak membuat kita pusing dan kesulitan untuk memahami jalan ceritanya, namun setelah kita kenal banyak karakter di series ini dan mulai faham jalan ceritanya - kita akan sangat menikmatinya dan akan mengerti betapa menariknya series ini untuk diikuti. Dari segi warna, series ini selalu menekankan warna merah dan turunannya untuk Ai dan Biru serta turunannya untuk Songkhram dalam artian merah menggambar keberanian, manis, berani, dan mencolok - sedangkan biru menggambar sikap yang santai, mudah bergaul, cool, kuat dan menguatkan. Perpaduan warna ini menurutku sangat cocok. Karakter yang diperankan oleh aktor sebagai Ai ; dan aktor yang memerankan sebagai Songkhram juga menurutku sangat bisa memerankannya dengan baik, sikap mereka yang realistik dan kelakuan mereka emang mengundang gelak tawa, series ini sangat ringan entah itu dari segi masalah, jalan cerita dan resolusi konflik. Saya merekomendasikan series ini!

not as good as i expected it to be

I read many reviews on this show and yes, I agree with the "confusing start". Not only the confusing start though because the plot was really mixed up. I didn't understand when some things happened and they missed a lot of scenes they could've added to make the series run smoothly. Normally it would take me at least 2 - 3 days to finish a ten-episode Thai drama, but this took me at least a week because of the confusion and mixed-up plot. Although it had many flaws, it was still good. Me personally i prefer the side couples (especially Brightmeen) then the main couple because I feel like the main couple annoyed me a bit and was honestly kind of cringe.

What made it harder for me to watch this show was the HORRIBLE subbing. i barely understood most of the times what was happening in the show because of it, honestly i feel like it wouldve been so much better if it had good subbing but honestly the subs just ruined it for me. i wish we could see more of the side couples in this series tbh, songkhram and ai is just idk. songkhram is like the average steriotypical person in college thai bls which ruined it for me a bit. Ultimately though it was a good series and I did enjoy it, it did have many flaws but the ending is pretty satisfying so it wasnt a regret watching it.

Good Idea but Not Very Cohesive Storyline

The premise of this show is a university where instead of going through thesis defense, their students make a proposal about possible start-up projects that they will present to a panel for a chance to get the funding needed to realize it. There is also the concept of the students there divided into dorms based on their prevalent characteristics when they first come, like Hogwarts. Adds the supposed rivalry between two of the dorm and you'll get a good recipe for any romance series. Which this shows should be able to pull off, but fails since they lack the ability to tell the story in a cohesive way.

There are 3 years gap where Songkhram and Ai supposedly first met and in those 3 years supposedly Songkhram likes Ai but did not do anything to even try to get close with him. Instead Songkhram makes it seem like he likes Meen. And all of this is not shown but told to us watcher by their words. Another confusing things is that Ai supposedly did not have any feelings for Songkhram at first, but it seems even at the early episodes Ai hints that he might have a budding feelings for him. Yet at middle episodes it was said that he never has any feelings.

Similarly, this confusing relationships also shown in both side couples. Bright (I know it was listed as Pipe here, but the subtitle in WeTV listed his name as Bright) and Meen story confuse me in a way that what I thought as unrecruited feelings between them, turns out to be Bright rejecting and avoiding Meen before they even in the university but somehow at the start of the show, it doesn't show that Bright is avoiding Meen at all. Pluster and No also mirrors Songkhram and Ai for their first interaction but somehow they becomes close with each other out of nowhere despite in rivaling dorms.

The premise of rivaling dorms also wasn't really shown clearly at all here. There are nothing that shows these two dorms are rivals with each other, not physically or even academically. The only way we knew this dorms are rival is just the opening where both previous dorm leaders are fighting over Songkhram and from what the characters keep saying over and over.

There are also other examples of the plot where it might make more sense if there are additional scenes added instead of just saying what happens.

What they lack in storytelling however, they make it up with great chemistry and acting between the actors. I am also quite fond of the locations that they use for filming. Ironically, since it seems they did not even have enough time to add additional scenes to better the storyline, they also did not drag too much for the problem experienced by the characters.

Last but not least, even if I wrote what I dislike from this series longer than what I like, do believe me when I say that the good thing still outweigh the bad. Plus the last extra scene from the final episode is a nice surprise for a BL series.

it's a simple series with butterfly in stomach

I usually don't write reviews but I thought I would leave a review here. for one thing this series is just a light hearted simple series. No emotional rollercoaster drama. no girls drama. some educational value at the end. a very nice perfect ending as they said in the series. if you guys want a series very light hearted and not wanting to cry this is a go to series.

the story line is also simple. I don't like the way they seperated the dorm at first but I can't complain too thank God they didn't dwell into it more. they just keep it for the hierarchy purpose but everyone was friendly with everyone just the concept existed that was actually good to see.

subtitles were little off but it was understandable.

Sweet and fun series

The series was a lot of fun to watch. The lead pair and friends were all great. The cast
did a wonderful Job and taking you for a ride through different emotions of jealousy, past love, and future love to be. I love the whole dormitory feel like Harry Potter style where everyone is placed in a dormitory based off the personality it's a very interesting take. The series was a joy to watch and I found my self binge watching it because it was so good and I wanted more. The cast did a great job and showing you growth and development of each character. For me the only down part was the fact of I wish they gave you more backgrounds history about the 3-years from when they first joined till now. That would have been fun to see. I was also not a fan of a piece of the end with leaving Germany, that was not needed for the story and a wast. Overall this serious was amazing from beginning to end it did a really fantastic job in keeping you wanting to see what will happen next.

A torrid sex scene is not enough fuel to get a plane or a car off the ground

The University of Technology and Innovation (UIT) opens its doors to receive new entrants every year. Its strict rules establish that future graduates, all male and interested in engineering careers, have to live on campus. It is divided into six buildings, and each one represents a group, according to the intellectual and physical qualities of its occupants.
Ai (Nuttawatt Thanathaveeprasert - Bank) and Songkhram (Chitsanupong Soeksiri -Earth) are two of the first-year students who will have to participate in multiple tests in an initial day of university orientation.
The striking physical challenges and artistic and mental competitions that they will undergo during the official reception ceremony provide a score that will define which dormitory building they will live in for the next four years.
By being elected leaders of university residences that have historically been involved in a continuous dispute, exacerbated each year with the arrival of new tenants, the two protagonists, without intending it, will end up being rivals, since each one will have to defend the interests of their respective campuses. .
While Ai, the automotive engineering student and car lover, commands building number 3, where the "handsome ones" live, Songkhram, the future aerospace engineer, who dreams of being an aviation pilot, is the guide of dormitory 2, where The "strong and athletic" ones are grouped together.
Bank, who we already saw in the drama 'Friend Forever', but with Ai makes the leap to the leading role in his first BL project, is a reliable boy who is always willing to help others, and shares a room with Touch, his best friend since the day he entered university.
This last character is played by Supanut Sudjinda (Tong), who we saw in the 2022 BL 'Unforgotten Night' in a supporting role.
For his part, Earth, also in his first leading role in BL, but with demonstrated artistic qualities appreciated in the series 'That's My Candy' and 'Even Sun', both from 2022, plays an intelligent and self-confident young man, who enters into frequent pungas with Ohm, (Bhurichon Khumsiri - Neptune), one of the occupants of bedroom 4, who has a close relationship with Ai as he is her cousin and childhood friend.
This is the fertile ground for the relationship between Ai and Songkhram, two “sworn enemies”, to flourish in the last year of their studies. The bitter conflicts and friction accumulated during the race will cause these two people, so different from each other, to first begin a friendship relationship that will soon become love.
To the aid of the two young people, indirectly, will come an assignment that they must present before graduating. They will have to form a team, along with other students, to prepare a project proposal to present to a panel of investors. This task, in addition to uniting them in complicity and romance, will also serve as a pretext to try to deceive their friends.
Despite having treated each other as adversaries, both will admit their secret feelings for each other. Songkhram is the one who will little by little stop fighting with his rival, after confirming that his suspicions that Ai is interested in Meen (Nattapat Suwanich - Pre-Saint) are not true. He will lose his fear and will be forced to reveal his love, realizing that his best friend, the athletic basketball player Bright (Natthaphon Musikanan - Boss), also loves Ai and tries to win him over.
Meen, one of the characters to take into account, is Ai's friend and has problems with class attendance and academic performance, since, along with his studies, he works as an actor in a popular television drama.
Meen and Bright used to be high school friends. However, they have grown apart and barely speak to each other at university.
Pluster (Chawanakorn Donmongkol – Po Te), and Nano (Sarin Rungkiatwong – Rim), are two first-year students who will bring new conflicts and tensions when they join the cast late in the series.
When love surprises the two main boys, they will have to contrive in front of the rest of the students to try to hide the fact that they are no longer rivals, but lovers.
In a script that reflects a weak and boring love story, Songkhram and Ai cannot show off their potential as a BL couple, despite their attractive looks and charming smiles. Embodying well-developed characters, I have no doubt they can become one of the most seductive couples within the genre.
Both the romance of the main couple and that of the secondary couples simmer and take time to develop, causing misunderstandings between them, and annoyance in the public, eager for the timid sighs of adults who act like teenagers to become hoarse. grunts of sexual enjoyment.
The adaptation of the novel "ราชาวิหค" (Racha Wihok) by Chiffon Cake lacks a compelling plot and shows little imagination. The only incentive we have, as the public, is to wait for the octane rating, that scale that allows us to rate the anti-knock power of a fuel when the latter is compressed in the cylinder of an engine, to be higher, and so on, Ai and Songkhram, like combustion generated, start flirting and kissing and thinking about a life together.
While the viewer waits for the couple to begin their journey in a stagnant plot, the repeated clichés, boring scenes and the actions of the characters, a kind of meaningless childish pranks, populate the episodes of 'Destiny Seeker'.
Only after the protagonists become adorable boyfriends with cute flirtations and romantic scenes in which there is no shortage of fun teasing and erotic games, while they hide their love from their friends and other students, the hitherto hidden BL material gains intensity and explodes with the essential fuel to get both cars and airplanes off the ground.
With a narrative that finally takes shape in the bodies of the two boys, the series enters, with plenty of momentum, into the last episodes, allowing visibility to a tender romance between two attractive young people who flirt deliciously.
The climax is reached in the passionate encounter of the young people in the final episode, in an act that borders on wild eroticism, but artistically polished like an exquisite jewel.
A hot sex scene will make even the viewer most accustomed to strong erotic images blush, due to how few they are in BL genre series.
