Century of Love

Century of Love is a captivating series that hooked me from start to finish. As a fan of reincarnation stories, I was eager to dive in, and it exceeded my expectations. The plot twist where San discovers his soulmate is a man after expecting a woman is a game-changer. And San certainly not into it because he is very loyal to his past love and besides he is a straight 120 year old man.

This series balances humor and romance beautifully, with the family teasing San being a highlight. The leads' chemistry is undeniable, with Vee's charm and playful side and San's grumpy demeanor making their romance all the more sweet. San's journey from resistance to acceptance as Vee's lover is romantic and satisfying. In addition, I like the fact that his family is so supportive of their relationship.

The villain, Wat, is convincingly portrayed, and her unexpected role in helping San in the end is a nice touch. This series introduced me to Daou and Offroad's work, leading me to watch their other series, Love of Translation and I am looking forward for their upcoming series, The Wicked Game.

Decided to give this a go when browsing netflix. The beginning of the storyline was meh but it gets better and better. I kept pausing when i started watching as i rolled my eyes too much. It took my two weeks to actually get to the good part of this drama. The acting of the leads are really helping too. But the storytelling was a bit lacking. Some crucial questions were not sufficiently answered and left a gaping logical hole.

The storyline and some of the details are kinda off. A bit wasted.

However, if you can withstand the absurdity of the plots at the beginning, it is actually very sweet at towards the end. After finished watching, i think i am glad that i came across this.

Just saw this on Netflix. It's quite comical, lol. The premise is unique, offering an interesting twist on the "love lasts through time" trope by exploring a somewhat comical yet intriguing concept: what if the reincarnated version has a different gender altogether? This twist brings a fresh and humorous angle to the story, making it stand out in the crowded field of romantic comedies drama genre.

Now, it has some flaws, some cringe dialogues, some overused romance cliches such as character touching mouth alone after the kiss, characters tripping and dropping to the ground, then, wow, they almost kissed. Groundbreaking. Still, overall, it's a fun and entertaining series. It's definitely worth a watch for its creative approach to lgbtq story.

I have watched this series four times... I still can't get enough of the characters... First the visuals are amazing.

Second the characters chemistry is out of this world.

Third even though I know the story lines I still get upset at the villains in the series.

Four I was very impressed with the action scenes in the series.

Five I giggle at the brief nude shot of SAN's ?????

Six I have no idea what the lyrics are to the main song but I love it and hooked on it. My brain wants to sing along with it. Love it.

Seven I love love... and this series gives me lots of it.

Eight the comedy keeps me from going to far in the longing... Nine I will watch again because I love the characters........ Ten is my rating for this series because I would put it in my digital library for future binge watching.

This time my review will be a bit longer, but those who know me and write to me many times in SZ will surely forgive me.

This is one of those really good mystery series connected with the Thai branch of Buddhism, it surprised me because after the first episode I had no idea what would happen next, because the original described plot took place in the first episode and I didn't like the main characters either. Apparently, the same process took place inside me while watching, as with many viewers, because the increase in ratings from the first episodes to the end is not typical, it usually decreases (IMDb from 7.2 to 8.3 and MDL from 8.0 to 8.5) and I found my way to two the main performers and I started to like them a lot, both as characters and as actors. Well, if I look at San (Daou), how he looks at MDL in civilian clothes, maybe it's not him either, I don't want that! 🤣 I've gotten used to it and I love the look of the "old man" with old-fashioned clothes and short pants, the creators did a good job with that. Not to mention Ponda (Third), I already love this little girl from the 180 Degree series ... And even the great-great-granddaughter Ju was really great, one of the few "normal" female characters in BL projects, otherwise we mostly meet scumbags, extra bushes, or is the character scared, affected or annoying. All of them, including Ton and Tao, convinced me that in the end I gave the acting performances not a nine, which I originally thought, but a ten, despite the slightly grinning "rat" Rat. The overall concept, the story, the actors, the music, all of this completely prevailed in my assessment, and this is not affected even by the not completely 100% processing, which can be partially excused by the fact that the creators had to fit into a very limited budget (battles, shooting games and red marmalade or raspberry juice, treadmill, etc. And at the climax of the last episode we had to watch Tao brushing his teeth with superpaste). But what I can't forgive, and it shouldn't affect the budget, and many viewers will forgive even this under the overall impression, are the two Asian "falls" in the first part and in the last one, when Wat holds the stone in his pretty feminine fingers and in the close-up in the shot, it is held by a man's fingers (apparently this omitted scene was recorded by directors Wo and MI themselves), I thought they were going to limit me, I've already seen it in some other series, I'd kick someone from the crew for that, and I'm reducing it by two whole rating points for processing.
