Os Superdotados (2018)

Hidden Gem

I became a fan of Nanon after watching Bad Buddy, the series. In one of the interviews, the director, P'Oaf said that Nanon is well-known for doing thriller and drama series which made me question his acting abilities and lead me to The Gifted, the series. Also, there is Gun, Sings, Victor, Fiat, and Jane here as well here so made me more intrigued to watch, and oh boy am I glad that I did.

The storyline is amazing. The plot twists at every turn were always keeping me on my toes. It was hard to not watch the next episode cause the story kept you engaged throughout. The first few episodes, where each main character had his/her own introduction were fascinating and then the end where it followed Pang was amazing too. Even though most schools are not divided by the class system like in this story the treatment however is the same. In many schools, the students who are already smart or talented are given priority and attention by the teachers whereas the average ones are left as they are. Sadly, schools do not give attention to the students that need that time. Every student has potential in some way or another but most are left to the dirt and we see only a few succeed. This is a very sad but true reality of the world and it is highly disappointing.

Honestly, am one of the people who was waiting on the storylines for the twins as well but they hardly had any lines in the series. I want to see a drama with both of them and both are the main actors. They are talented, funny, and good-looking. The acting was spectacular, especially Gun. He is a phenomenal actor. The way he acts and his facial expressions are mesmerizing. He is such a versatile actor. I am used to seeing him with Papi so this was refreshing to see him in a different light where has a girlfriend and is the protector instead of being protected. All around just adds to his personality and versatility.

Nanon is another brilliant actor. He is also really good with his facial expressions and getting the audience to feel what he feels and really relate to him. His character Pang is someone most of us can relate to as someone who is not good at their studies and just feels misunderstood most of our lives.

Jane (Clair) was super as well, especially in the scene in the theatre where her video was leaked and she was frantic to get everyone to stop watching. We all have something or the other that we do not want the world, especially our loved ones to know and the way she tried her best was commendable. I really didn't like her character till that scene and after that, I empathized with her and she got better and better after that.

Wave and Korn were also characters that I could relate to as well. Both of them just wanted someone to love them or be friends with them but they got betrayed by the 1 person they trusted the most. That is heartbreaking. All they want is love and they were the ones who were hurt the most.

Mon was another loveable character. She is the strongest of them all and her action scenes were beautiful to watch. I wish they could have shown her kick down that door when Wave locked them all in the auditorium. That would have been so cool.

Overall, this is an amazing series. Ful 10/10. Next is The Gifted: Graduation. Hope that is just as good too.

Highly Recommended!

The Gifted (2018) is one of the best Thai dramas I’ve ever watched. The storyline is captivating and the character development is complete. I look forward to this sequel and to see how (1) the powers of Pang are further developed, (2) how the entire Gifted Class works together to bring down —SPOILER ALERT!!!— Director Supat.
The only downside of this drama is the uneven acting skills of the cast. They have to find students as the cast so the actors/actresses might be pretty new.

Kekuatan Super ?!

Ini merupakan series non-bL thailand yang aku tonton sampai selesai, karena memiliki cerita yang menarik. Secara garis besar series ini menceritakan Pang yang merupakan siswa biasa yang tiba-tiba masuk ke kelas berbakat setelah mengikuti sebuah test, padahal temannya yang lebih pintar tidak berhasil lolos ; temannya menjadi iri dan membuat Pang jauh dengannya. Setelah masuk di hari pertama kelas berbakat, Pang mulai menyadari bahwa yang dimaksud kelas berbakat adalah kelas dengan siswa-siswi berkemampuan khusus yang tidak alami ; salah satu kemampuan siswa di kelas berbakat tersebut adalah pengendalian gelombang dan listrik pada perangkat komputer dan alat elektronik lainnya secara magis hanya dengan sentuhan tangan dan pemusatan pikiran. Overall series ini sangat bagus dan menegangkan, selain itu effect CGI yang ditampilkan secara umum sangat natural, tidak dibuat-buat karena bakat para siswa pada umumnya tidak membutuhkan effect CGI yang rumit, selain itu bakat yang ditampilkan pada series ini cukup masuk akal dan tidak terlalu mengada-ngada ; nuansa series ini benar-benar khas dengan saturasi warna yang rendah membuatnya seperti film horror namun ini bukan tentang film horror- walaupun seperti itu namun series ini sangat enak di mata. Series ini mempunyai banyak sekali misteri yang membuat kita semakin lama menonton semakin penasaran. keren!

DISAPPOINTED

Super bothered at the rating so I gave it a try. I was curious about everything.

Since they have the unusual abilities unlike normal students, they're being treated as the "Gifted" and most likely label them "top students" without knowing the abilities they actually have. So the Gifted Program has a motive to awaken then develop the students who have superpowers. It's a secret of the school. Only the Gifted students must know and the administrators. But It's different from academic class. They do that class and move to the Gifted class. Why do they have to play it "secret" when there's a potential to use their special abilities and help other people in varies of ways? It's not unequally treated. Gifted class is totally different and far from academic class.

What I mean is, Gifted = Hero.

And what's the point of other Gifted's stories (experience), and some missions when it's messaging being treated equally. Wondering if they have superpowers? Nonsense and doesn't connect to the main theme!

UNEXPECTED MASTERPIECE

DONT GIVE A SECOND THOUGHT ON WATCHING IT OR NOT..JUST GO FOR IT ELSE YOUR GOING TO MISS ONE OF THE BEST SHOW..

I was not into Thai drama's but recently started watching thai bl drama's that is how i found the THE GIFTED series to be frank i intially started watching for cast Nanon, chinom, Gun, Sing, Fiat and i found thai drama has more potential then just bl drama man these actors are amazing each and everyone of them was a grandmaster of there acting in love with them and also the plot was mindblowing what an amazing story with best actors and characters now im more into the story than actors.
each epiosde was fantastic and how the showed the character development of every main character rather then focusing on one or two character and how all of them got connected during the last moments by understanding each of them.

ACTORS: actually i didnt except that these actors were capable of carrying such wonderful performance (not in disrespectful way) but man each of them were god of acting -- Nanon has pang was a good leader who intially doubted his potential, Sing as Ohm awwww cutieee he was the laughter for making everyone feel comfort, Gun as Pun and Chinom as Wave what to say both were Handsome as hellllll love d them and Fiat as Korn quite which is totally oppossed of the series i watch of them but was good and also the female charcters Lilly as Nam was also a cutie, Jane as Claire was irritating but has time goes on she is also a beautiful soul and Puimek as Mon ohhh superwomen and ya AJ & JJ also did there best but they were supporting character with less screentime. i loved all 10 gifted students they were amazing.

OST: music track was prefect for delivering each emtions

NOTE : dont except bl aspect in this show not everything is about bl ok.. its about the actors, their acting skill, story, screen play

So, this was my first time watching a thai drama and I picked this one cause I'm a sucker for supernatural. And honestly i quite liked it.

There were a lot of things I really enjoyed.

-The story line - how special students managed to pull through the troubles they are having and how having the quality that makes them stand out can also be the reason why they are put on a pedestal or even tear them down. Really brings out the motto, that everything has it's pros and cons. I also really like how they bring in the normal school life with the usual scenarios that are brought to life so the viewers can actually feel and relate to this despite it having supernatural undertones.

I like how the mc becomes nothing to a something but how he still holds on to a strong sense of justice, not letting the power get to him. It also depicts how a leader should be. Not a dictator who does as he wishes but some one who pulls the group together and helps them to stick together as a team. No man left behind. I like how he truly cares for his friends.

I liked the mc's friend's weak punch lines which made the level of seriousness bar a bit lower. And i really like how the villain tries to turn into hero. in fact the growth of each character is seen in each episode, yet the story line does not forget who the main character is, which i found was a very clever way to get the story moving.

However, I would have really liked it if they should the mc's back story as well. As to how he reached each point of his life. so maybe the viewers would be able to justify his actions. Similarly, if noticed only a few of the students in the class had their back stories shined upon and the rest were kinda neglected. Or better way to word it, is that even each student had one episode dedicated to them, they were left and the focus was not back on them again except for subtle hints. It would have been better if they were given a little more attention in other episodes than their own.

I even loved that no CGI or special effects were required to do the supernatural effects (because usually it just feels so fake) and that made it all the more real. Honestly even I might have the ability to do something supernatural like that.

Also there were a few times where I felt the points the drama wanted to get across were not well reached. Even the end of the end, had quite a lot of open ended questions and to me felt a little rushed. Even though it seemed like something failed and there was still hope, i really felt some thing should have ended on a slightly happier not. I get that this was done to build the excitement for the next season but leaving too many questions also leaves people unsatisfied.

- Acting & Cast - Even the acting and cast were really good as I could feel the emotions permeating through the drama. Which for me is very rare to feel in a live action. I could feel each pain the characters feel and could also feel pity for some and understood them. so that meant the acting had to be great and i felt each actor who acted for their part matched very well. The emotions were so clearly seen that it hit hard and I was glad to feel it or I wouldn't have continued with the series.

Over all, this drama was a really good and worth it watch for me. But I would give it a slightly lower score. Only because Im a sucker for supernatural but not for sci-fi.
