The Sign (2023)

Maybe not for me yet..

For me personally the first episode dindt catch my attention, the sudden start of random shooting things made it confusing where they where..
I tried to watch the first episode without getting bored easily but theres just something that is bothering me.. it feels slow as some reviewers said which is what i felt and got uninteresed just by ep 3 or 5..
I think the show is more about lore related on thai which goes into the romantic of the two main characters which is kinda a downfall for me since i dont want to really look into details much but rather enjoy the series without getting a headache..
I think its easier for me if the series were to be more understandable but i guess they were going for culture of thai.

I wouldn't say that its a bad series and the actors seems good at chemistry and i would definitely try to watch the whole series first if it will change my mind..

I have seen people hype up the series but i was disappointed abit

The series had potential but was lost in the story

So basically when we watch dramas we tend to focus on their actual stuff but in that actual stuff we never want to lose the actual storyline and tha main characters of the story ... I felt that even after having such a good concept the series failed to me because they were more focused onto daily and work instead of putting leads on the main page it felt more like their jobs were the main focus while it should have been their lives and a lot of stuff was just unnecessary the whole series got lost in their work space instead of them. idk i had great expectations but :( nevermind I love saint and I will be waiting for more hopefully he gets it ... he was the reason I started watching in the first place (ps saint was not the actor in the series) (except last part though) also I was lost at many points I feel like it was because we might get season 2 but bruh ... no

this is new to me !

i watched this because of all the complements and the high rating i was excited but to say the least I've lost it through out the episodes this was on the boring side for me, I've managed to finish it, but i'm not re-watching even the bed scenes!
every one is talking about their chemistry, well it didn't come through to me i mean the actors are good ,but the story line is tooo busy i felt i have missed something in the middle.

just random thoughts when i started watching this consider me debating the logic of the plot :
-Just questioning while watching this Why is it called idf (investigation defense force ) ?? Are they police or Military force?? Not clear
-Tharn is so short compared to his colleagues did he pass the selection criteria for police force ?was he eligible?
don't mind me though.
-Regarding case one He didn't leave any lead because he is from their forensic team , nice detail

and OMG too much censored butts though in episode 1 i was shook while watching

for your information you will Still be waiting for their love to begin tooo much teasing

On the other hand i loved their team i wished it continued like the first episodes
and towards the end ,Whats with the customs oh dear god so cringe it hurts to watch :/
But nice CGI though
i wouldn't discredit it because i don't enjoy fantasy there is obviously an effort put into this , in conclusion it's not a bad drama if only you enjoy fantasy genre

Mythological Cop Show With Side Of BL

Took me 4 tries to get past episode 1 then I binged it in 3 days

The idea of giving us BL fans something new is great. As someone who is bored stupid with school BL especially the ones from Thailand. I was looking forward to this series. Was the series perfect? No. Was it entertaining and enjoyable? Yes.

Billy is a better actor than Babe. The chemistry is the but the execution is lacking. I can’t make heads or tails about Tharn’s behavior. Especially being so co-dependent on Chalothon. I knew Doc was a walking red flag the minute he came onscreen. I am not sure why Tharn can’t sense doc being a baddie with his premonition power.

I like Yai being the comic relief more than Thongthai and Khem. Seriously they way they seem se less but made it to the elite IDF is questionable.

I don’t like Dao or what was the point of having such a character exist in this series. The female forensic irks me because of the horrendous music she listens to.

The baddies in episode 5: Wit 🥵 Nahrong 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

To be continued

Prophetic love

I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like this: it's a thriller, prophecy, love story, comedy. I didn't expect all of this in one drama. This is a mature story about mature people - this isn't about high school kids or university students. There's a serious and disturbing story in the first half of this drama, which is well handled.

I've never heard of the Naga, but now know that lots of cultures have similar folklore.

The action scenes are good and some appear more realistic than some scenes in 'real' action films. The slow burn and tension of the love story is exquisite. The comedy is sometimes a bit cringey, but sometimes really funny.

Only one thing was irritating: Tharn's woodenness. Initially, I thought it was Babe's acting but realised it was his character's fear and self-protection. He became less wooden as he relaxed and opened up.

That scene (you will know it when you get there) when they first stay in Babe's condo....phew...

What I liked: the acting - the pain and loss on Phaya's face was so well communicated. The distraught look on Tharn's face, and his behaviour as a result, was obvious and realistic.

What I didn't like: the female characters weren't great - apart from the grandmas, who I loved (particularly Phaya's as she pulled herself together to accept the revelations she was being told).

A pleasant series to watch but with some imperfections

What's striking about this series is that, although it's tempting to compare it to KinnPorsh, it's the exact opposite. Here, the writers focus more on the police and fantasy plot than on the love affair between the two heroes. The references to Buddhist mythology are appreciable, and the storyline is well-crafted.

The story is followed with interest, without excessive length. It works. But this series has one big problem: the acting, which really isn't up to scratch. And the further we get into the episodes, the worse it gets. The ending, though interesting and less Manichean than might have been expected, is spoiled by it. Too bad!

Awesome Love Story But......

This is a stunningly beautiful production with a love story that is so entrancingly told that I honestly did not see two men in love but simply two individuals in love. It really was a love story that transcends genders and epochs. This is a romance that begins between two mythical Hindu/Buddhist deities named Garuda and Naga long ago. Throughout the ages, each continue to be drawn to each other in a way we would call destiny. Had the saga simply stayed with the journey of Phaya and Tharn, this would have been an apotheosis. But unfortunately, it became unwieldy and got so lost in the development of subplots, specifically involving a troupe of them becoming police officers, and solving a crime, that the love story almost took a back seat. And frankly all of that was so superficial and unnecessary to really what was in essence an alluring love rhapsody. The story of who they were is so much more important than what they were but unfortunately the production got so bogged down in the storytelling that the love came in sporadic waves, thus in a sense diminishing the emotional impact of their bond considerably.

The Best Series Ever! I repeat, the Best Series ever!

If you're wondering whether you should watch this masterpiece or not, I'm here to tell you that you definitely should!

The sign is one of the best series I have ever watched. Everything about it was awesome! The acting was great! The chemistry between the main leads was sizzling! and the story got me hooked from beginning to end. I found myself eagerly waiting for new episodes each week. There was never a boring moment for me. Each episode brought something new, fresh and thrilling and kept me glued to my screen trying to analyse and dissect every single detail as the plot unfolded.

After watching many disappointing bl series full of cringe-worthy scenes and the same old boring storyline, the sign definitely quenched my desire for something different and unique. It rekindled my interest in bls. I will definitely be looking forward to more exciting work from the same lead actors!!! Their chemistry was hot hot hoooot! This was without a doubt a 10/10 for me. A must-watch for every bl fan.

Exciting Adventure!

I am really enjoying this series so far. The cast has amazing chemistry, and from the get-go, we have a feeling of camaraderie and side character development which I love. The storyline is unique, and I am curious as to how the plot will unfold. We already have multiple plotlines going within the first 2 episodes. The Leads have stellar chemistry and I love their flirting, and character development. The production is fantastic, we have amazing settings, and multiple locations so far and it is just hitting the spot for an overall excellent series! I love that we have a fantasy, folklore element as well because it adds mystery to the show!

AN UNDERRATED GEM!

I was so excited about this drama from the moment they dropped the trailer and they truly did not disappoint me! It has absolutely everything one would need to make a good series - an interestingly new plot, great acting, outstanding chemistry, beautiful cinematography and perfect music. The camaraderie between the cast both on and off screen is so good which is why it makes the show even more fun to watch. And the way they are showing us Thai culture - the history, traditions, beliefs and mythology - is just so amazing and informative. Every Saturday they go beyond my expectations!

P.S. I don't usually write reviews but for this one, I just had to lol :p Please go watch it on Idol Factory's YouTube channel!
