Shine

OMG, this is so different from all the BL's I've ever watched. I thought KP was something new, but this just doesn't compare.

Thailand has always suffered from one thing for me: a bad script. But here I don't see that problem. Everything is so perfect that I'm even afraid to jinx it.

The music is heaven for the ears.

And the cinematography is so good that I feel like I'm watching a movie.

But most importantly: Mile. My hippie. My Tanwa. I'm in love and I can't do anything about it. And I don't want to. Just give him to me, please.

Mile is so natural. He got into the role of a hippie so easily. I look at him and I don't see anything from his previous characters. This is probably my favorite one. He is incredibly charming. And he is much more complex than he wants to seem. I look forward to further development of his character.

But it is not only him who is interesting. The other characters are incredible. I am already attached to all of them.

And it is not just about the characters. Everything in this series is done with such care and love for art.

And this is only the first episode, and I am already delighted.

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!

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.

Apo Nattawin's portrayal of Trin in Shine is a masterclass in quiet intensity and emotional depth. Every glance and subtle shift in expression feels deliberate, revealing layers of emotion without unnecessary dialogue. His ability to convey longing, vulnerability, and resilience often within a single scene is mesmerizing. Trin's presence elevates the entire series, making even the simplest moments magnetic. Apo is an exceptional talent, and we need to see him on screen far more often television is better with him in it.
