Twins (2023)

An Unsavory Ending

Look as much as I love my boys interactions and whatnot that ending has me a bit sour in the mouth.

Like adding the scene of the friends ganging up on the sister without any resolution for her felt like such an annoyance, cause now I personally NEED to see her go through her own resolution of finding actual better friends and those two girl get their karma.

Plus the fact that we don't get a moment of the twins together with their partners in a group interaction kinda bugged me as well cause not even an apology or something to better clear the air.

And the whole "I like what we flhave now, you're my best friend but I could not see you as anything other than friends" by Jack made me wanna fight.

Sam really is my light and soul and the whole bright reason to be happy. Coulda got more TanSam scenes but I'm happy with it.

The national team picks with little to no cheering up or celebration for either of sides that did and did not get picked just felt more like at "well why did I have to see this"

FirstSprite scene on the court was cute and all but that moment of them laughing was too long and felt forced at that point.

Zee and his girl scene seemed a little outta place and could a been a good moment for FirstZee to happen to walk by and show up but they didn't and it was just welp.

The drugged out "I miss Koh" moment was also a little filler based feeling.

Lack of development for many characters has me feeling a little bugged by it.

Overall last episode could have been maintained differently to feel like a happy ending cause four pivotal moments made me feel it needs more.

i don’t know why but i’m gonna continue it

I have very mixed feelings about this series. First episode was quite boring, second and third episodes were definitely better, although not perfect at all. In general, the story is not original, slow-paced and not credible. The actors are clearly trying their best, and I saw that for many of them it’s the first acting project, so not terrible to be the first time, they definitely have time to improve. In spite of everything I’ve said so far, there’s something that is making me want to continue it, at the moment at least, probably some sparks of chemistry between the main characters (it’s not great, but it’s okay, I think it will get better in the next episodes), and I’m quite interested in what could possibly happen in the story. Or maybe I just need something to watch on Fridays, lol.
I wouldn’t exactly recommend, but you can give it a try and see if you like it, which I think it’s possible if you like the enemies to lovers trope (and if you lower your expectations).

Story

After watching the series I really enjoyed it. It's certainly not one of the worst BLS.The actors did a pretty good job..My favourite pairing was Sam and
Tan and I was hoping to see more of them being loved up.Sam was sweet and would have been a great match for Sprite.The pairing of First and Sprite although they played the parts well I didn't think they were
ideally suited.Ihink the height of First put me off. The
storyline was decent enough.Had a few flaws but all in
all it was good. There was plenty of male testerone
flying about and really good-looking males to keep you riveted.
Well-done to everybody involved.

Go watch Not Me it is much better

This story is similar to the Not Me serie by OffGun.The concept is almost the same the only thing that is different is this serie includes sports.while I would have liked it if the writing is not poor.There was no need to extend the truth to the last episode.There are many things that are missing.I am saying this with my experience that gagaoolala is not providing good content.If this channel is giving you 30 series in a year.Only 3 would be great.I am not saying it without any reason.Me as a bl watcher thinks that why everything in these series have to good in the last episode.I mean this is the purpose of last episode but if they have revealed the truth earlier and then Pfirst should be upset.Then sprite should reconcile with him that would have been a very good plot.And PZee should consult with his mother that she only cared about her wish and that ruined the relationship between the twins.Like guys I am really disappointed in this series' poor writing.

Nothing like the trailer but not in a bad way~

I absolutely love this and not just cuz First looks like if Hendery and Xiao Jun(WayV) had a child. In a way, I'm totally ok that they didn't stick to the trailer. Like Sure it kinda just makes it another collage BL BUT It's super cute and so funny and I'm having the time of my life. I am absolutely feral for the reveal and I want it now but I under stand the wait for plot reasons and it just makes me anticipate it more. On one hand Sprite could very easily and SHOULD tell First like right now and I'm sure it would be fine but on the other hand I want a big and dramatic reveal xD

Very Fun Very Cute Worth watching 100%

finished update: It was perfect and i loved it~ still 100%

Loved it, but the writing was so bad!

So, the premise in interesting, but the writing is so bad. This is kinda the criticism I have with most thai shows. IDK if its because of bad subtitles or if the story is actually that bad, but this show had so much wasted potential.

I actually quite liked First. I know a lot of people did not like Ryan's acting, but I thought he came across a lot more natural than many newbies - and he *IS* a newbie! While I really could not empathize with Zee and how he treated people, I did think that Frame did a much better job playing Zee than playing Sprite. Also, if Sprite was pretending to be Zee shouldn't he also act like Zee so that he passes for Zee? First has known Zee since they were kids, how does he not know about Sprite. I get that the parents were divorced and the families were not in contact, but the coach seemed like he was close friends with their mom. Sprite was so exaggerated and comical I could not with him. I did love the way Sprite fell for First and tried to make the team a team despite his brother, but it just seemed to strange to me that the team just accepted that this person who is acting nothing like Zee is Zee.

I also didn't understand why Sprite did not confide in First like a bajillion episodes ago. Your lover keeps calling you by your siblings name. Isn't that an ick? Shouldn't he deserve to know who he's sleeping with if you reach that point? I think that was messed up! Especially when Zee and the Girl were involved and Sprite kept insisting he wasn't involved with her. Like what did you think was going to happen. Zee seems to despise First, what did Sprite think was going to happen?

TL;DR: I thought the cast did a fairly good job given how bad the writing was. It is worth a watch if you're interested in movies like parent trap / she's the man and etc that involve twins switching places with each other. Its one of the few BLs focused on Sports so that was also interesting.

Hot actors, good moments, but mid overall

I was quite surprised by how much I liked this drama. While most of the actors are attractive, I feel the main couple doesn't quite look like they should be together. Either way, this BL is has many steamy moments, but I feel like they could have added a lot more. There were too many episodes that felt like they had little focus on the chemistry and were about the twin confusion and the big game. The excitement to watch each episode died for me and so I cannot rate this very high. The amount of funny moments weren't enough for a Thai drama, but the whole thing did feel quite bright and energetic.

Overall I would say this is an okay Thai BL. The intimate scenes are good, I just wish there was more tension between the couples and it wouldve been a highlight. Watch this if you like a sports theme and like attractive bodies and faces. Still I can't help but feel there has been some missed opportunities here. If you go for hot, go for really hot. This is an instance of a BL where I would have actually liked every member to be romantically/sexually involved with another, even though its unrealistic for a whole team of volleyball players to be gay or bi.

Worthwhile Watch

I had mixed feelings about the show, I love it but at some point, it gets mind-numbing. The last four episodes take a turn for the worst as they start dragging the storyline and eventually culminate in a disappointing ending. The concept of twins as introduced by GMMTV's Not Me, seems to have worked well for this drama/comedy, and this was what made me fall for the show.

The actors were the best part of this show with both Frame and Ryan just winning my heart. Frame did a really nice job playing both the good and evil twin while conveying both their emotions. But it was the cute moments between the two that had me squealing.

a float serve at best

you start this series and think it’s going to go a certain way and try to track it, but it ends up just dropping in front of you without making it to a real significant point.

I am still giving this a high rating because frame and ryan genuinely carried the entire series, both in acting and promotions. more so that frame being able to pull off two roles, and make me feel very different things for each character, deserves to be praised. they both poured so much into this and don’t deserve to be overshadowed by some of the worst writing to exist. it rivals mame in the sense that there is minimal critical thinking from characters, no world building, dialogue is not a thing, and production that just accepts bare minimum in editing, filming, and sound.

which leads into my second point: there’s too many couples. I would let sam and that other guy get a pass if they actually had chemistry, but team always looks so tense it was actually uncomfortable watching him. I had hoped he would loosen up a bit or even give some unscripted type of improv but it didn’t happen. I hope he gets more comfortable if he continues in this industry, but that couple should’ve been written out of the series or changed how their scenes went. generally, I find second lead couples to take my interest, but this one was a hard pass.

overall, it’s fun but suffered a lot from keeping zee as a relevant part of the plot. this needed more thought put into it from an outside party or something. disappointing, but I still think it was a good watch just to see rising actors like frame and ryan.

Acting was not strong enough

story line is kind of good, but acting is not strong enough.. even through story line is good there is somthing missing i mean its same like acting only story line is good scens line up also not strong for me.. some of parts are not giving sense at all like when zz and sprite changing times to time and them srite ask first what happend.. that wasactually idiotic question.. and actors can not give us feelings.. i am thinking what if there was a good actors this drama will be more famous..

And i must say zee's girlfriend is cute when she smile it makes my heart warm.. and for surporting characters i dont like them too lot of themcan not act and others who can act did not ricived supportive strong characters.. and i thing some stories of supportive characters is dont want for drama.. itz good for that actors but not for drama..

Overall can watch

Ótimo Plot péssima execução

(CONTÉM SPOILER)
Recentemente muitas séries BL tem saído da caixinha de faculdade e escola e explorado diferentes temáticas. Séries com gêmeos não são mais uma novidade, mas com vôlei sim (pelo menos para mim) e foi justamente isso que me chamou atenção, fiquei curiosa e decidi assistir sem saber o que esperar.

Somos apresentados a Sprite e Zee, gêmeos que aparentemente foram criados separados e por causa de um conflito Sprite precisa assumir a vida de Zee para que ele não perca sua posição no time de vôlei (Mesmo que isso signifique comprometer a sua própria vida).

O que mais me irritou na serie foi o favoritismo e enaltecimento do Zee a todo momento, mesmo que ele seja um personagem desprezível e que a todo momento só se importa com si mesmo, e com um caráter totalmente questionável do inicio ao fim. Eu diria que ele facilmente poderia ser colocado como vilão na história. Enquanto isso, o Sprite sempre esta em uma posição de culpado, quando na verdade a maioria dos conflitos da série acontecem por culpa do Zee, mas quem tem que lidar com elas é o Sprite.

Já Sprite é totalmente o oposto de seu irmão, um personagem extremamente carismático e que me tirou risadas sinceras. Apesar de não ser tratado na história o Sprite sempre tentar lidar com tudo sozinho e as vezes até colocar as necessidades dos outros acima das suas. E como nesse caso o enredo perde várias oportunidades em desenvolver o arco dos seus personagens.

A história seria muito mais interessante se eles tivessem trabalhado mais nos personagens e suas relações, já que temos muitos, mas muitos personagens, relações e até conflitos que não são desenvolvidas e acabam por não ter importância nenhuma no enredo mas tomam muito tempo de tela, como por exemplo a mãe dos gêmeos que claramente se importa mais com a reputação de Zee do que com ele mesmo, a série simplesmente joga essa bomba e nunca mais você vai ouvir falar sobre esse conflito, que seria muito importante para o desenvolvimento do personagem.
(NOTA: Legal que ela não se importou em Sprite se sentir sobrecarregado em viver as duas vidas, mas a série ignora isso. Favoritismo? Nunca!)

Sem contar os casais secundários que são um VERGONHA. Os atores são perfeitos com uma química excepcional, mas sem importância NENHUMA! Jack e Mike foi um casal jogado somente para proporcionar cenas quentes, Sam e Than só existem. Ambos casais são totalmente desconexos do roteiro, se pular todas as cenas deles a série continua a mesma, isso é muito triste.

(NOTA: Agora vamos falar do casal principal, já digo que eu me apeguei pelos dois e principalmente pelo First.)

O relacionamento de Sprite e Frist é um "enemies to lovers" em um "slow burn" e eu particularmente amo esses tipos de romance que se desenvolvem devagarinho. Esse carinho que tive pelo casal fez eu ficar com muito ódio do Sprite e mais ainda do Zee, vou explicar o porquê... First é um personagem muito sincero e ele tem muita fé e confiança nas pessoas, principalmente em Sprite ( que ele pensa ser Zee). Quando o Zee volta para assumir seu lugar, ele sabe que Sprite se apaixonou por First e que eles tem um caso, E MESMO ASSIM ele ignora e diz coisas cruéis para First. Ele é um desgraçado total! A cada episódio que passa First fica cada vez mais abalado com essas oscilações de Zee/Sprite. O PIOR é que Sprite vê como First está com tudo isso e SIMPLESMENTE IGNORA e tenta compensar nos dias em que ele finge ser Zee. Resumindo, eles dois acabam com o psicológico de First.
Quando Sprite finalmente contou que ele e Zee eram pessoas diferentes (F: Poxa todo esse dano psicológico que vocês me causaram foi a toa? Que engraçado!) eu quis muito que First desse um soco na cara dele, mas infelizmente não foi o que aconteceu, de qualquer forma ele deu uma resposta satisfatória (Mas essa cena não importa porque a história segue como se essa cena não tivesse acontecido, maravilha!)

Perto do fim é perceptível que a história tinha que ser finalizada logo, mas se tirassem as mil cenas TOTALMENTE DESNECESSÁRIAS de personagens TOTALMENTE DESNECESSÁRIOS dava tempo de fazer um bom final. O que nos restou para a conclusão foram acidentes inofensivos, reviravoltas que ninguém se importa e reconciliações insatisfatórias.

Por fim, a série é cheia de furos, tramas não finalizadas e cenas desnecessárias, mas em contrapartida é uma série muito engraçada, com personagens carismáticos e bem interpretados, casais fofos e quebra de estereótipos no mundo dos BLs. É uma série para desligar a mente e ativar seu modo bobo, passar raiva e aproveitar.

Eu gostei e me diverti, assistiria de novo.

Mas eu sempre vou odiar o Zee <3
