Beije (2016)

Mediana

Bem, uma coisa sobre mim: não gosto de séries que não sejam BL, ou que não tenham ao menos um BL secundário. Quando assisti a trilogia: Kiss (2016); Kiss me again (2018) e Dark blue kiss (2019), eu maratonei tudo em um fim de semana para poder entender a história de Pete e Kao, pois percebi que se eu visse as séries em separado não iria ficar claro pra mim.
Kiss é a primeira, fala sobre as irmãs Sandee e Sanrak como foco principal, e nessa série já existe um "relacionamento" entre Pete e Kao. Kiss me again, apesar de ser a série seguinte, vai mostrar os acontecimentos anteriores a Kiss, e Dark blue kiss vai focar exclusivamente em Pete e Kao.

Dito isso, já deixo claro que essas sequências desordenadas me incomodam.

Falando especificamente de Kiss, como ela foi a primeira e eu não sabia o conteúdo das outras duas séries, não achei o roteiro ruim, aliás, achei excelente. A história das irmãs muito bem contada, apesar de eu ter críticas à construção da personagem Sanrak, que algumas vezes parecia uma pessoa excessivamente lerda, como uma criança num corpo de adulta.

A atuação algumas vezes deixou a desejar (principalmente da atriz que interpreta Sanrak), mas para um elenco tão jovem, é possível dizer que a atuação não foi ruim. A ost é boa, fotografia bem comum. Se a série deixou uma lição, foi de que educação sexual é importante, mesmo que a pauta tenha sido levada como alívio cômico no final.

Se eu pretendo ver de novo? Não! Mas com certeza recomendo.

Short Review: The synopsis showed lots of potential that unfortunately the series didn't live up to it. I enjoyed watching parts of this series but I found that a good amount of it was confusing and frustrating skipping over parts became necessary if I didn't want to drop it.

Longer Review: It became frustrating to watch after awhile mainly due to the character Sanrak. At first she seems naive and innocent but that naivety fast becomes what feels like stupidity which I personally did not enjoy watching. In the beginning she seems like a protective older sister but that doesn't last long. Now this is only my second Thai drama so I'm not familiar with the culture which probably didn't help but understanding who's related to who and how when it comes to Sanrak & Sandee's family was confusing. They mention an older sister named Sansuay but she never makes an appearance and her relationship with Na is never really explained so that too added to my confusion.

Sandee & Thada were probably the reason I didn't drop this drama after the first few episodes. Although it became cliche at times and somewhat frustrating, it was the enjoyable kind of frustration. Also their group of friends also made it fun to watch. There are a few twists that happen within the friend group that help the show along and they all seem to genuinely care about each other and their friendship. The issues acknowledged within the group were handled pretty well so that helped a lot.

One thing that bothered me after I finished the series was that they didn't address a few of the conflicts that had happened. I'm not sure I can really go into more detail without spoilers or sounding so vague it's confusing but I'll try. Some minor characters conspired and did some things to the main characters that caused harm either mentally or physically and they were never really resolved. There was one incident that was somewhat concluded but it was done so quickly it felt like an after thought and I was left annoyed because I wanted to see this person be punished for what they had done, not just get called out with an implied possible punishment.

Also the product placement was intense in this drama. At the end of an episode they would have a segment called "Beside the Scene" which for the most part wasn't important or necessary.
