What the Duck The Series (2018)

Hope one the character especially Art (Rambo) was given a 2nd chance. I don't want to see him cry. Everyone deserve a second chance right?.
Just stay and be contented to the one you love.

Lot's people has their own best qualities, but if your happy, contented and respect/value your relationship. It will be last long.

For Pop and Oat will be stay funny and strong together.

Wish Oat will support Pop to follow his dreams everysince the start of the series Pop want to be a flight attendant.

For Oat, continue to become a better man not for himself alone but for their relationship.

Not Bad, But Not Good

Where does one even begin with this series? I haven't seen a series shitted on so badly like I have this one. I can't even remember the countless number of people who told me not to watch WTD, but of course, that made me want to watch it even more. To my surprise, it wasn't bad at all. Does that mean it was amazing? Not necessarily. Does that mean it's the best BL ever? Very far from it. Was it terrible and the worst BL known to man? No, not even close.

Let's dive in.

The overall concept of the series was different and one we hadn't seen played out before. Most of my fascination was from that alone. We didn't see the boring university get-up or the high school uniforms, and I liked their wardrobe for the most part. I wish this show didn't take its time in sharing Mo's story. I was so disinterested and bored with her plot, not even because it wasn't BL, but just because it was lackluster. Had she had less screen time, we could've seen other stories more, and a little less of the rush that I felt in the end. I will say that I enjoy seeing Mild and Sammy, but damn, was that a harsh pill to swallow.

Speaking of Mo, as much as I really didn't care for her character, I will say that I feel extremely bad for her. How could she have been in a four-year relationship and not see the signs that it wasn't working? I got shivers of pure disappointment when Pop explained that he's only ever seen her as a sister. Why was that not a conversation had years before? It plays Mo out to look like a naive woman when I know she's better than that.

I didn't a hundred percent love Pop and Oat, but out of the two couples we were given, they were hands down my favorite. While Oat's personality was a little off and a bit much, he makes up for it in the end. The number one reason I think I connected to this couple is that I understand how it feels to be mothered. To feel those moments when you just truly feel loved by your mother is something so different and heart-warming. The way Pop made Oat feel when he did a simple task that reminded him of his mom made my heart flutter. I could feel the build-up of their feelings growing stronger for one another. it was more evident as each episode passed by. It was probably closer to the end when I felt it the strongest. I thought we were going to have another situation of rape on our hands, but it was nice to know it was something else that was respectful and genuine. Honestly, their love story wasn't perfect, in fact, it was pretty all over the place, but it was nice.

Pree and Bo get a gold medal for the best creative setup. While it was very vulgar and erotic, I will say that it helps to give us an understanding of how their relationship was with one another. As much as it was super cringey and uncomfortable to watch, it still was super natural and most likely what other couples do. The setup for this couple was probably the only thing I liked about them. They were both so toxic to each other, and are highly problematic. There was so much shit that went on between these two. At times, it was so hard to keep up with their drama. Bo was toxic and problematic cause while his boyfriend is ready to tell the world about their relationship, he wants to keep it a secret. While each person can only be ready on their own terms, it has to suck for Pree to have to constantly hide the truth from others. On top of that, Bo is worried he might have an STD after having sex with a random stranger, and instead of doing the right thing and getting tested, he just throws all morals out the door and gets intimate with Pree. As much as Bo sucked ass, Pree wasn't much better. Throughout the series we see him make moves and flirt with Pop. knowing damn well he was in a relationship. Does he have the right to not like that he has to keep it a secret? YES. Does that give him the right to cheat? NO. There wasn't a moment after the first encounter with this couple that I liked. By the next episode, I was fed up with them and ready to move on. When will someone give Mew a role where he doesn’t have to be the gay guy trying to find love with the internalized homophobic man, or even just a decent pairing where it’s not so toxic?

Overall, this show had its faults, and it had its share of mistakes, but for the most part, it was a fun watch and I liked it. So why is this show given such a poor rating and ugly reviews? Only one reason, the MewArt situation. Because of what the actors had going on outside of the show, people automatically labeled it the worst series ever, when in reality, it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be. Most people were just bandwagoners. Some hadn't even seen the series and were promising that it was trash. Always go with your own intuition. While this series was far from the best, it was also far from the worst.

First at all I was frigthing because all the people I read were like: this is not good.

And I thank you God for not obeyed these terribles reviews because I found one of my favorites BL of all.

The couple Oat and Pop are just amazing! I can feel the scary Pop because he can not understand why he feels like in a romantic bubble when he was with Oat and how Oat understand it and want to protect the other. This couple was amazing! And fuck all the people that think that they are boring and stupid. I found them so different to the others series because we can see developing of their characters. Pop can not feel in love so easy like in the others BL because in real life you have to meet very well your future husband and in the other side Oat finally has an another important person to protect before his mother died.

The second couple Rambo and Pree: I found Rambo a bit annoying because he said that he loves Pree while he was having sex with the other weird guy when Pree wanted to settle the issues and I just felt like: what´s wrong with you dude? and Pree... I just love Pree because he found that Rambo never loves him (or yes but I never understand well the behavior of Rambo) that he loved him and then he watched that his crush has problems and he is the only who can help him to achieve his dreams.

The two couples make me feel like I was falling in love and seriously without jokes I made 20 minutes audios talking about each couple. Rambo needs to develop and understand that he has to do the things well to go back to Pree, Pree needs to understand that even though he is so beautiful with Pop as a couple, Pop already has a husband so please... give up! Pop has to understand that he really loves Oat before him give up and Oat has to understand that seriously he has a really funny jealous moments!

This series deserves a new season. If they do not this, they will lost a good gem to shine again.

Nothing Really Happens

It was cute for a moment, but only a moment. The entire series felt padded and fluffed out for no real good reason. Every scene with the side couple was of just them crying over the same thing again and again. And even Pop and Oat not really developing their relationship past Pop realizing he MIGHT have feelings for Oat was so infuriating. Overall it felt as if all of the storylines could have been solved/finished well within the 20 episodes given. Instead, to see said plotlines conclude we have to watch the sequel series Final Call. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the dramatic elements of the show while I was watching but ended up totally skipping through the side couples plot and wanting Pop and Oat's to rush along already. I most definitely won't be rewatching this again, or the second season/series for that matter. So unless you're REALLY in the mood for a goofy/light-hearted toned BL series, I'd skip. Seeing as there's way more BL that do far greater and better with far less time than this series.

Story: The story is a basic GMMTV story. One dude is either gay or confused the other has a girlfriend and is confused. They rarely stray from the genre and make it special. It's pretty entertaining and has a lot of cute parts in it, but it becomes forced and seems like they had to cram things into the episodes.

Acting/Cast: The only time i didn't like the acting was when pop was on screen. His character felt basic and his acting wasn't convincing enough at parts. Also pop's girlfriend isn't the best actor either. I've seen her other works and they're all flat.

Music: The songs are so good for this series. They are catchy and work very well with the mood. It's played at good times as well so no awkward silences or songs being played too early.

Re-watch Value: I would re-watch this only to write a more descriptive review other than that there are better series to watch and the whole series isn't worth the hour long episodes to watch again.

Overall you can watch this series because its not entirely bad, but don't prioritize it unless you have faith in the second season.

MAN, I started this series very skeptical and as many people have already said here, I love it but there a parts that are just a big NO NO FOR ME. I'll start with the couples:

Pop and Oat: Dude, I LOVE THIS GUYS. I mean their friendship started kinda weird and Oat was so annoying and Pop and his irrational fear of sun (was that even necessary? come on). But they grew on me so fast. Maybe they are not the best actors but they had seriously GOOD moments together and Oat was freaking charming as well. I really root for them.. and when Oat really understood that he was harrasing Pop... that pained me a lot. And at the end we had a cute scene CUTE STENE but that was it.... Pop didn't even told Oat he would be a flight attendant... *sighs*

Pop/Mo/Pree: GURL! Poor Mo! I was really frustrated with her story, the actress is really good so I don't know why they had to make her suffer that much for that long ... that prolongation of her problems with Pop was so unnecesary. And yep. P'PREE IS NOT OKAY TO BE AFTER YOUR SISTER'S BOYFRIEND. It doesn't matter if he was your first love you were with another person with a freaking ring and you can even stay away.. NOPE.

PreeBo: this was frustated me the most becausse I LOVE THE ACTORS. I got tired of Rambo's crying (the actor is good but he always make the same face, sorry) and Pree is the cutest thing ever but they just DIDN'T TALK ABOUT their problems and even Rambo behaved so bad Pree wasn't trying to fight for their relationship either... I was SO MAD I CAN'T. I really ship them.

Another characters like Pent I didn't really cared if I'm being honest. I liked a lot of parts of the story but they were others I just couldn't care. I am here for the pairings and I really hope that P'Nick would be with Mo, he looks like a nice and loveable guy. If Preebo fight for they relationship I'm in and PREE DON'T GO AFTER POP JUST NO. And Pop please realize you are in love with Oat, he have already told you that he loves you... IN YOUR FACE.

I will wait for season 2 though....

WTD is about a witty and refreshing main lead, a selfish and self-centered lead, two people with serious communication issues, a no strings attached honest guy, a miserable girlfriend and some other people that are there for comedic relief.

The story behind WTD seems to go somewhere and then, well then it doesn't. I really adored like 20% of the scenes and the script and got bored by the rest but it's a nice inbetweener or when you have nothing else to watch and like BL.
The acting is better than in some other Thai BL dramas, I guess but except for some really good crying and shocked scenes it wasn't extraordinary.
The characters are well, interesting, I guess. I'm just gonna say two things: I loved the character of the main lead, Pop. He was witty and very different from what we BL fans usually get from the main leads in such shows. He did not fall head over heels in love but also didn't paralyze when he was asked if he liked guys. He seemed pretty normal and realistic tbh...except for the always there umbrella *wink*And my second point, I ended up hating the "good" guys and liking the "bad" guys, so what does that tell you about the characters?

The intro song got pretty annoying after some episodes although I could've listened to the ending song a lot more often.

Rewatch, some scenes yes, but the whole show, probably not anytime soon.

Overall, I recommend watching WTD if you are a BL fan, have nothing to watch or wanna be up to date with all the couple gossip, otherwise,if none of those apply to you, better watch something else...I liked the colours of the series though ^.^

I liked this series but there is so many points I didn't like.
About the main story, it's really basics. One guy who's straight since he has a girlfriend, another guy comes and the first guy is unable to choose between his girlfriend and the guy. The actors who played Oat and Pop aren't convincing, it was sometimes overacted. Some scenes were strange and the first kiss (when Oat is hurted) is ashamed. But they were cute together. The girl who is playing Mo is really good, I like her as actress.

I'm disappointed cause there's not enough development about Mo's work, I mean she's bullied but we know it at the beginning and then nothing. But I think we will know more about it with the chinese version so it's okay.

About Pree and Rambo I was disappointed as well about their relationship. At first they seem really in love but then they are unable to talk. They were just crying all the time. I know it's not a lack in the script, and it shows us a relationship where the 2 guys are unable to forget each other. I know Pree was in love with Pop but in fact he seems really confused. The 2 guys are playing really well, better than the main actors. The sex scenes are really cute, and when they are crying it's really sad, we can feel their pain. I'm looking forward the season 2 for a better development between Pree and Rambo.

Another actress i liked a lot was Pop's mother. She's playing her role really well, I liked her in all the series.

So, I think it's a good series, I mean there is so much potential but it's a pity that the main actors are not better as acting. I think my favorite character is Rambo, cause the actor was perfect, he could cry perfectly. And his character is more realistic. He likes guy but he wants to please to his father. He needs some protection, I feel he's so weak. Pree was unable to take care of him correctly. I mean they needed to talk about Rambo's father and they didn't do it. And at the end of the series, in the last episode, I can totally understand him when he's drugging and having sex with these guys. He's that sad, he needs to forget, he's like a big hole. I'm sure only Pree can save him.

Now I'm waiting for the chinese version to see if the main actors are better, and the story is less basic.

What strikes me most about What The Duck The Series is that the story was told in a funny, engaging and touching way. I love the chemistry between Oreo and Strong, and also between Mew and Art. I think this is a very beautiful BL movie romantically told with well thought of plot and scenes. Of course there's no denying that What The Duck has a very beautiful sound track and the music video gives you a full perspective of what the movie is all about. Pop's girlfriend Aim, was also give her own story line, which conflicted with Mew as it turned out Mew is also in love with Oreo in that series. To create this love triangle between brother and sister and Pop in the center of those two hearts is really an interesting twist to the story. I personally love the scene where Strong is at the window and Oreo woke up to the shocking fact that something might have happened between him and Strong. Mew and Art with Got as the third party is an open story line. I don't know if they will explore this in the next season. But again, this reflects the complexities of love. The struggles of Mew and Art presented in the series are presented in a very realistic way and viewers I'm sure can relate to this in their own personal relationships. Because of the acting, and a really beautiful story, I'm giving this movie a 9.5 and encourage everyone to check it out.

I would not recommend this one- too slow with the plot and I kept hoping things would move along.
I started watching this as Mew is in it- I watched his other show and decided to see something eles with him in it as I feel like he is a good actor.
MewArt- They have the best bits over all but their plot is a huge over drama thing that I don't believe would go down like that.
PopOat- they both don't know about themselves so most of it is them being friends and messing around. Not enough growth for me in 20eps
Mo- I don't care about her at all. You with a guy for what 6 or 7 yrs? They have no relationship goals and her job is cuz of him. Her vs Mew is F-ed up for sure. What brother would turn like that lol She has her pilot "friend" too.
Pent- is great. Knows he's a fu*k boy- brings Oat around to think about who he is. Protects Art from more damage. Blows on another guys ear- so funny. He's the guy that wants the D all day every day. And I like what he brings to the show. I hope he's in 2 and has a larger part than just fling guy.

Completed this a few months back and it was only recently where I discovered this website and hence, gonna give a two cents about how exactly I felt when I watched this drama.

Oat and Pop.
People over the comment section in each and every episode literally lashed out on Oat because of how he looks. Like honestly, come on people!!!!! BL is not about all the looks!!!!! It's about the feelings, the love, the sweet moments that it matters. For example, if they actually find someone with good looks but with stiff acting, lord, I can't imagine how many people will drop this drama. Oat is average looking but, he sure is darn cute. The way he pampers Pop with love and how he stares at him lovingly makes me melt all the time and I wanna die hard to find someone like how Oat looks at Pop.

But another thing is that Pop is attached but he is confused with the feelings he has gotten for Oat. This is another so cliche plot where I have seen it in 2938230230322023 BL dramas/movies that I have watched so far. For example, Together With Me The Series.

But, I am definitely rooting for this two in Season 2! :D

Pree and Rambo.

.....
I have no words to say but...

Despite breaking up shortly after, Rambo shows no sense of repent and continued to fool around. Wanting to keep Pree by his side but he just can't stop sleeping around with someone. He almost let Pree caught up with STDs / HIVs. People seem to love this pair more than Oat and Pop and I don't know what to say. Personal Preference? I guess?

Pree and Pop.

Is it bad that I ship this two so hard as well? XD

If Pop and Oat doesn't end up together, I think Pree and Pop makes a great pair as well XD
