Shine

I took my partner to see the premier of the first episode and he loved the music and the time lapse of the series, the acting of Mile Phakphum as a free soul was really good and the seriousness and different way of thinking of Doc Trin was a perfect combination of the main characters, I laughed at some of the funny scenes( a small touch) in short words it's a good combination of 1969 life, difficulties, believes and fights, good to watch.

It exceeded all my expectations, and they were very high. I'm already in love with all the characters and really want to get to know them better. I'm shocked by how good every aspect is. How detailed and thoughtful everything is. The acting, the cinematography, the script are just on a completely different level. I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes to fall in love with this show even more.

This is how you do a mature LGBTQIA+ series. Yet another masterful work of art from Be On Cloud. The cast (especially Apo Nattawin and Mile Phakphum) literally shines on screen, the historical plot is intriguing and the cinematography is spell-binding. Obsessed with the official soundtrack as well. I cannot wait for the rest of the episodes!

Watched the first episode and it's a banger! Cinematography is mesmerising. Acting is incredible. Story is engaging. Music is beautiful.

The story isn't too fast paced nor dragging feets either. Just enough right to keep you hooked. There aren't any boring moment. Because everything scene has a reason an underlying subtext.

If you want a story about freedom, political struggle, love and music I HIGHLY recommend it

10/10 must watch.

After waiting for two years, we finally saw shine's release. After going through a series of issues such as shooting delays and rewriting the script, i finally got to see my favorite actor APO return to the screen. After watching EP1, I'd like to share some thoughts

1. Photography: I really like the overall shooting quality of this time. It can reach the level of film shooting. In terms of color tone, scene and transition design, it has all reached a very high level.

2. I'm quite satisfied with the plot, at least in terms of the entire narrative structure and pace of the ep1. It quickly unfolds the entire storyline centered around the character TRIN, who is connected to every character in the show, making people look forward to EP2 with great anticipation.

3. The casting of the actors: APO's portrayal of Trin is extremely accurate. Also, I really like the casting of Krailert this time. It's just perfect. I love his piano performance so much. Naran and victor's performance was also very natural. I'm looking forward to seeing more of their parts.

4. Acting skills, I must give APO and SON a score of 90 in ep1. APO performed both the French part and the interaction with senior executive at the end very well. In France, he was a melancholy and indignant young boy. In Thailand, he was a rigorous, patriotic and mature economist. You can watch his performance. Even his eyes expression are different.

5. Favorite cut: -The part where Trin and his French girlfriend finally embrace each other in silence; -Krailert the piano part; -Trin took off his shoes and tried to blend in with the environment.

In conclusion, I can give EP1 a score of 9. But I can't fully trust BOC. I hope it can still maintain such a high level in the next eps. No more too many cliches and outdated plots that follow the trend.
