not bad
Pleasentlu surprised by the dialogue delivery of all the actors … the plot is crazy and honestly if it wasnt for esits i saw on titok i’d never watch this based on the synopsis. it isnt a high budget drama but the actors really carried the show although it did get boring on the last few episodes who i think they could’ve used to go more in depth on other side characters relationships and backstories. All in all an enjoyably absurd watch stillCet avis était-il utile?

More mature than I expected
I had no intention of watching this series. The plot, the poster, everything gave me an extremely childish idea and I already expected that this series would be another low-budget production with a terrible script.And it was a huge surprise to realize that this series is actually very good. The production is really interesting and has beautiful photography. The story, despite the plot holes, is captivating. And the actors are excellent and have great comic timing.
It is a simple story, but very well executed. The highlight here is Junior. At times he seems like an animation come to life. He is an expressive, funny actor who managed to do very well in the more dramatic scenes.
The story could be better. There are many arcs that are abandoned or that could be better worked on. Nam's bullying, Junior's brother, Sun's past, the aunt's son who died.
At times the story gets too stuck within its own narrative and doesn't expand these arcs into other paths. The secondary couple, without a doubt, is one of the biggest disappointments. They just tease, but they don't get anywhere with them.
The final conflict is a bit messy and the direction and editing really struggle to create a cohesive scene. They leave a lot of points open - the fate of the animal traffickers and why Sun took so long to return.
It's not the best Thai BL of 2024, but it's undoubtedly a competent and dedicated production that delivers a different story with a cast that exudes chemistry.

Caged Again
Simplesmente muito bom, fazia muito tempo que não me sentia "em casa" com algum BL ou serie, além do romance deles ser algo bem leve, fofo e verdadeiro.Esse BL me lembrou muito o filme "Carrossel: O Filme" por ter essa pegada mais vilões atrapalhados, comedia, suspense, natureza, além desse "poder da amizade".
Um ponto que eu queria levantar é a atuação do Jay Sorathon Chaloemlapsombut, simplesmente que ator bom, o jeito que ele interpreta o Junior é ótimo e muito marcante.
Com certeza um BL que queria esquecer, apenas para ver novamente.
No geral recomendo bastante você assistir, ainda mais se gostar de uma comedia com romance e um toque de suspense.

One of the cutest most unique BL ever made.
This is exactly what I look for in a BL: a fun story, light and fluffy tone, with a great cast and excellent chemistry. The story is incredibly gripping, and the cast does a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. Ben and Jai are amazing as Sun and Junior, while Jaonine Nokia is also incredible, breaking out of their roles from KKB.The CGI penguin is surprisingly well-done for a BL, and the visuals and cinematography are gorgeous, fully immersing you in this fantasy tale.

Penquin Only
If you are inclined to watch this do not go into it with any expectations and you won't be disappointed. Yes it was scattered, poorly written and unbelievably stupid. I fully supported releasing the last 3 episodes together. Why stretch the unbearable? A better script might have them becoming shape shifters, exploring the world by night but living their animal form by day. Then a catalyst happens forcing them to make a choice. Their choice would include being adopted by Ton and Nam with Jeng and Jod as friends in their escapades. No, what we got was a whole lot of nonsense, with irritating side characters and with outlandish plot twists. Eliminate the rest of supporting cast and the money saved could have gone into more cgi to enhance the plot.Then I remember Penguin and I'm okay with some aspects. He is innocent, naive, sassy with a big heart. He was the only reason that would excuse wasting 8 hrs of mind blowing nonsensical. Sun, rubbing his face against Junior aka Penguin and resting his head on Junior's shoulder while telling him how much he loved him, made for a very sweet moment. Junior crying in ep 10 undid me. His process of deduction and internal conversations are humerous. That is all.
Take Junior and Sun out and you can burn the rest. For relative newbies they were okay, especially Jay. I do hope they get better scripts because they are cute together. I can not recommend watching this. No, I really can not. Go to a real zoo instead.

Cute
The story was a bit immature for me, but it was a nice story about sticking together. Being there for one another.Acting though was brilliant. Ben who played Sun and Jay who played Junior were excellent. Last two series I have watched has had young up and coming actors and they have been so good and natural.
Loved Junior just so adorable and goofy and carefree but loved big. Sun just wanted to be loved, he was super reliable.
The two friend Jodd and Jeng were awesome. Not silly just normal good friends.
Younger people will love this series.
Wouldnt rewatch it but dont really rewatch anything.
Hope these actors go far, well done. Oh there kissing was so cute and age appropriate.
There was some funny parts in it, dont think everyone would of got. But it had me laughing.

Adorable WTH? that I Still Enjoyed
This is one of those shows where the message is about the journey, and the plot very much takes that route. I think this could have been stretched out to 12 episodes to give a little bit more of fleshing out because the ending was very rushed, as does it usually is. Ep. 8 is was pretty much all filler just to get to that end scene, the 2nd to last episode curse and then conclusion and end. I can't help but feel like I've missed something.What happened to Junior's brother Little? Does Junior ever visit after he went to Bangkok?
What happened to Nam? He became a bully and then just fell off the face of the earth.
Did the 'bad guy' die? He was hit on the back of the head. Did he live and get rearrested?
Who was the guy on the phone?
How far away do Jeng and Judd live from the school because they got to Sun reaaaaally quickly LOL
How did Sun turn back into a human? How did he get from the hospital to Junior?
I honestly wtf'd my whole way through the final 2 episodes LOL
The plot focused on Sun and Junior's journey and everything else just danced around them.
I almost feel like we had another director for those final episodes. There was a drastic change of tone for me, so much so that the humour that was littered throughout the show, which I had been enjoying up until then, seemed really out of place.
Having said that, it is what it is, and I still enjoyed it but things did go wonky at the end there.
The CGI stuff didn't bother me honestly. Even that last scene of Junior fulfilling his dream didnt bother me. I get it. CGI is expensive. It's ok, I'm not going to be too harsh about it. Did laugh a little at Sun visibly sweating in his artic clothing with the wind sounds and green screen northern lights LOL
Overall, it's a sweet quirky show, kind of a filler for your afternoon type of show and I thought the ML's as newbie, did well for their first roles.

A Breath of Fresh Air
It's refreshing to see a series like this one.... a hidden gem that was written, directed, and acted by imaginative minds who've implemented extraordinary creative skills.It's like a breath of fresh air rushing through an industry (BL series industry) that has started to become hyper-sexed with adult content that's no longer suitable for general audiences.
I give a big thanks and a rating of 10 to all who have been involved in the production of this series.

Cute at it core
The story was just ok, the rewatch value is only once for me, the writers could have done much more with the characters and the story. Some of the characters that was introduced early on just faded away without explanation like the bullies. I thought the writers would have given the viewers more animals characters instead just the penguin and black panther. Love the side characters that was introduced that help our main couple. There were some dark moments in this series that explore the trafficking of animals that was the core of this series.Cet avis était-il utile?
So cute scary but lovely
Thank you for ending this on such a nice note I was very scared that the penguin and the panther would be dead but you ended it in a really positive manner and that's all we hope for us human beings and even creatures all we want to do is live our life and survive and love each other.I definitely would recommend you watch this because it's a very good tail of struggle but then successes and finally loves.
