So Much In Love (NiYamRuk) - Thailand

[antistatic]

I've been looking forward to this series for a while but each time it got a proposed released month it got postponed so I'm glad to see this has finally got a release date now: Thursday 6th August.


This is the original trailer from last year which seems to indicate that it will be both BL/GL and have a supernatural storyline.




The new teaser  concentrates on the BL side of things:

I have to admit to having a bit of a soft spot for Oat Pasakorn who I've seen in a few shows, but they were never ones that gained much traction so up to now he hasn't had a very prominent career. Here's hoping this series is better than some of the past stuff he's been in. I'd like to see him do well.

Seems Like A new BL comes out every week

Interesting. Was going to say it looks like a very typical school BL, but seems like they are including a supernatural aspect to it. Hope this won't end up with all the gay characters dead

JustThaiBoysLove had a sort of reminder posting of the promo for their viewers (though it looks like the episode that was released was the "making of" episode), below the video are line tv links:

I don't think it clicked with me when I watched the trailer previously - that one of the guys was from What the Duck (and was (in my opinion) one of the weaker characters from a major couple in the show).

So, I've just finished watching episode 3, and as much as I wanted to enjoy this show after waiting so long for it to appear, I'm actually finding it a bit of a chore to sit through.

The subtitles are awful and so badly translated that I'm really finding it difficult to piece together any coherent storyline. Whole scenes go by with virtually no subs at all, or maybe we get blessed with a single line of cryptic non-sequiturs that just sit there unchanging while the actors have full in-depth conversations on screen.

Considering all these characters are meant to be at the same academy most of them have never crossed paths and so far the four different storylines that I'm managing to follow are happening totally independent of each other. I'm still not sure where the two boys who pop up now and again (on a couch strumming a guitar) fit into the scheme of things.

I'm quite liking Mai and Wan (whose shower scene came across as quite erotic and made no bones about the fact they were having oral sex) and North and Ongsah, though I still find it unbelievable that Ongsah would be quite so casual about meeting -and now falling for- a ghost.


Excuse me sir, are you sure this is the same as using a loofah?


Jedi and Indy haven't made much of an impression on me but then I'm not really a fan of Strong. I've mentioned before that I like Oat, but I wish he was partnered with someone else. Fake boyfriends Arm and Ten aren't doing much for me either, and their weird scene at the fish farm just left me nonplussed.

Still, it's got a long way to go. I just hope they find someone with at least a rudimentary grasp of English to do the subs before long.

It kinda hard to keep track of whats going on who with who

Late to the show but enjoying it despite the subtitle flaws. Always happy to see one of the What the Duck guys (they did us dirty on that, even though the ending was true to the novel). The leads are quite engaging, and I always get a kick out of how these Thai series tend to involve a swim team.

[mizuryuu]

I tried to watch it, but the bad subtitles really make it impossible to enjoy the show. Also, I find myself skimming the show just for scenes of the ghost and the swimmer boy. The subtitle really does feel like someone just fed everything through Google Translate

Currently they are without English subs on any of the parts. Apparently they will be added soon.

English subtitles have now been added to all parts. The last part (the side scene) actually made me laugh!

* SPOILERY comment *

Normally in penultimate episodes they pile on loads of last-minute drama in preparation for an exciting finale but here they seemed to have done the opposite and resolved all the outstanding plot points early... at least I think they did. The subtitles were all over the place again so it was hard to tell what was going on sometimes.

So, as far as I can tell, evil Director Wadi has become nice after North had a relapse and ended up in hospital. She decided not to get rid of the ladyboy volleyball players after all because she was now being a nice person and also decided to forget all about her lifelong homophobic views to embrace Ongsah's relationship with North because he was sad and didn't sleep at night.

North revealed that he didn't really have a relapse at all and was just pretending to be in a coma for an episode and a half to teach his mother a lesson. It's a good job the hospital Doctor thought it was all a jolly jape or else he might not have gone along with North's ploy to tell Director Wadi that it was touch and go whether North would survive. What a professional he is, or more realistically, WTF?!

Indy and Jedi had a mini confrontation with the gossipy kid who always seemed to be hanging around whenever anything eventful was happening and told him that they knew he was responsible for all the online tittle-tattle... or something like that. I must have missed that subplot because I didn't really have a clue what they were going on about.

As for the two boys who we occasionally saw sitting on a sofa learning the guitar, I don't know what happened to them. I think they got up to go to the toilet seven episodes ago and never came back.

I did appreciate one droll moment in this episode though, when North broke the fourth wall and looked directly at the camera while telling Indy and Jedi (in the background) that they had better clear up things between them because the series is nearly over and they don’t want to make their fan club sad. He even followed up with a plug for his own new song.

Let's hope they have got the silly storyline out of the way early to make time for some scandalous boy-frolicking in the finale!
