Ton Hon Chon Tee (2020)

Bad Direction supported by an equally bad Script

Coming to the story, it's nothing that we haven't seen before but at the same time it was presented badly.
There are so many flaws and plot holes in the series that you just plan to drop it.
The best character I liked in the series and at the same time the best acting in the series is "Na".
Before the last few episodes, there was no homosexual backstory to support the lead which puts on a lot of weight on the series and crashes it.
They have tried to make it comedy by showing dumbness but it goes to the point that it's overbearing.
The Main Leads acting is just okish, I blame direction for it. The scenes in the club, the dance, and the facial expressions are a bit too much for this fantasy series.
Multiple times it felt like the leads were harassing each other, which makes it a bit toxic which at the same time doesn't matches with the series.
Most of the side stories are not completed which creates more plot holes.
Overall this series is just over the top.

BL yg agak kurang realistis

Saat melihat postingan di tiktok dan fb aku kira ini bakal menjadi bl yg bagus dan menarik, tapi nyatanya gak begitu. Sepenilaianku, BL ini agak sedikit boring dan over reacting. Secara karakter, aku sangat suka menggambarkan realitas tentang homopobik atau tentang maskulinitas namun secara praktikalnya sangat buruk. Kek gimana ya,
Disini aku suka semua karakter, namun ada beberapa yg agak menjenuhkan disini.

Tonhon : Dia digambarkan sebagai seorang homopobik dan its fine menurutku karena setiap orang berbeda beda pendapat. Namun, aku agak jeleh sama ini karakter kek gimana sih ya, waktu ketemu lagi sama chonlotte. Dia gak ngebolehin dia dekat dekat dengan oranglain kek siapa lo??? Chon berhak bergaul dengan siapapun yg ia suka dan ini yg bikin eneg dan jeleh. Dia tidak berhak ngatur kehidupan oranglain apalagi sampe maksa buat bersetubuh dengan orang yg gak disukai. Gak punya akal emang si tonhon. Sangat berharap lebih baik chon sama si Na.


Chonlatte : dia sebenarnya punya sifat yg bagus, teguh pada pendiriannya, berani nantang orang yg mengolok dirinya, dan baik.walau gitu, dia juga agak bego, kek apa ya dia gak mikirin perasaan si Na. I mean, jangan cuma manfaatin orang demi kepentingan diri kek wth. Terus juga nyium Tonhon pas lagi tidur kek apa ya. Itu bukan hal yg dibenarkan dan jelas itu hal yg salah. Dia juga ngeiyain temennya terus tanpa mikirin ini benar apa kagak.

Pang : Menurutku dia teman paling suportif untuk bff nya. Sayangnya dia juga terlalu oversuportive juga kurang bijak. Waktu Chon ingin ngelupain ton, dia malah ngedorong untuk tetep deket tanpa melihat sisi lain.

Ai, Ni, & Miriam : mereka menurutku karakter yg baik, tapi sama kek pang yg terlalu berlebihan. Ai sama ni juga kek apa yah dah 3 tahun pacaran tapi gak dicurigai oleh ton dan selalu ngeiyain ucapan ton kek gak banget gitu. Apa ya, kalo dia gay ya harus beritahu kalo dia gay apalagi sahabatnya. Mungkin kalo teman biasa ya gak perlu tapi ini sahabat yg bertaun tahun bersama kek wtf.

Yg lain gak perlu dijelasin karena banyak yg mengulas disini dan saya setuju( ulasan pake bahasa inggris ) . Setiap ulasan pasti ada pro dan kontranya but... Menurutku ini series yg bagus( walau kadang ada yg tak cepetin 2x. )
Saya rekomendasikan buat kalian yg suka genre dari teman lama yg homopobik yg terpesona dengan cinta lamanya dan bersemi kembali dengan tantangan yg sedikit gila dan njeleih untuk ditonton. Terimakasih telah melihat ulasanku. Jangan lupa beri ulasan OK?

Didnt love it but definitely didn’t hate it

Honestly I liked everything but the homophobia. I know it’s a common subject in BLs, rightfully so. And the writers did a sweep job of making us dislike Ton’s father. What really triggered me was that his family was so well off and highly educated and all that jazz, then why was surrogacy not mentioned when the mom realized he was gay at a young age. If having an heir was really that crucial, then y’all could have figured this out. Now you’re paying unnecessary hospital bills lmao. I LOVED Ni and Ai (best friends and gay roommates) their scheming with Miriam was perfect! Kept me laughing the whole time.

Would I rewatch, probably not but definitely happy I took the time to finish it. 7/10, would still recommend

Disgusted!

"i don't like men....i just like this one guy"
"i only have these special feelings for him"
"i'm not like them...maybe i am like them"
"he's a man - i'm a man"

i'll stop there and just say...stop doing this in BL's, PLEASE! it is some of the most annoying subject matter i've ever sat and watched. this is not reality and never will be. trying to convince me to buy into the premise that a guy is a gay/bi without them admitting they're bi/gay, but having this confess to one guy, but still proclaiming to love women, is just a headache in itself...minus the other clusterfuckery going on.

for this shit-show of a series...was it horrible? yes! could i have done without the nonsense at the end of episode 9 and all of episode 10? abso-fuckn-lutely. the homophobic father...typical and annoying. if you're going to make a BL series centered around gay males or self-discovery (coming out) don't make it about halfway being bi or almost being gay. Chon in episode 10 drove me up with walls not accepting a damn apology. if i were Ton, i would have left and said deuces. if anyone thinks i'm about to get on my knees in the hot sun - sweating bullets, while being rejected by a halfway cute guy laying in his bed with the a/c on...gotta be kidding me. never in this lifetime. however, after sitting in the sun and i guess sleeping on the ground...sending notes through the window...having my notes thrown in the trash and dumped on the ground....having water thrown on me while i sit outside sweating, by the person i want to accept my apology and fix the relationship...Chon still says no...but removing my shirt and giving a story about a tattoo does the trick and i'm home free and my relationship is restored. good fckn night, folks. oh but Ton's body was nice af....to me.

aside from that - this was a disaster - DEE ZAS-TER!

It's Not great, but not terrible either

It's cute. A little frustrating, but overall cute. It's funny and a little cringe at some points, but I did enjoy it.
Could it have been better? Of course, but I'm not going to say how or why since it doesn't matter anyway.
The way the story unfolds as a typical BL plot. It can be pretty problematic at times with secret feelings all over the place, and hidden relationships, though this is the first time I've seen setting with call girls ?

TW attempted r@pe. which was unnecessary.

My favorite characters other than the mains?
Chon's mom, she will BEAT YO A$$ for talking about TonChon in any bad way ??
Na, he's honest af. He annoyed me at first, but he grew on me haha
Miriam, this girl went ABOVE AND BEYOND for all of those boys like we all need a Miriam in our lives. She'll be your pretend girlfriend/wifey, stand up to your BF's crazy ex. And when the truth comes out and now she just has 5 hubbies she'd go up to bat for any day lol
Worst Character? You'll see. There's only the one B

A cute funny drama but also a meh

This drama had so much potential. I liked the first few episodes. The concept of falling in love with his old best friend who is now very "straight" that he has to pretend he's straight as well while his best friend doing the gayest shit ever is so funny!

I liked Chonlatee's character very much. He is soft and cute but could also be fierce and savage if he needs to. The scene of him splashing water to Tonhon's ex gf is a scene that cleanses everyone's soul. He also doesn't easily back down. There's also this scene of him splashing a bucket of water at Tonhon even when Tonhon was being depicted as tired and pitiful after cheating showing how he doesn't get easily swayed and stands by his words that he hates cheating the most.

Just wished they made Tonhon more likeable from the start because when Na had a character development, I began rooting for him than Tonhon. I didn't get as satisfied as I thought I would be when Tonhon and Chonlatee ended up together because I liked Na more. And Tonhon kissing his ex gf just to prove his "masculinity" was a shitty writing for his character. His role was to show everyone that masculinity does not equate with sexual orientation or gender, but at the end, he cheated to boost his ego and disrespected his partner. How he also got back together with Chonlatee don't sit right with me. He explained that he also liked him even when they were still kids, and that doesn't cover up his wrongdoings but Chonlatee forgave him because of that.

The ending was good though. Na having a boyfriend that he met on tiktok, Miriam being a surrogate and a millionaire, Ai and Ni still a strong couple, and Tonhon and Chonlatee expecting a baby satisfied me. The side characters are also loveable! Pang being the bestest friend everyone needs in their life and Chonlatee's mom being the bestest mom ever in the whole bl universe!!

Just a few character writing issues but it was a good series.

Love this!

For real, the first 4 episodes had me hysterically laughing, I got a coughing fit every few minutes and weezed like a granny walking up the stairs! The side couple could tell a story with their mimic alone and their chemistry was phenomenel! Their little glances and touches, their syncronized movements, I fell in love at first sight!

Khao is such a great actor and can be paired up with a bag rice, I would still feel their connection and believe his love for the rice! He played Chon beautifully! Neo, ma boy, he is so talented, I love seeing him younger and in different roles, he always gives depth to the characters without loosing his charm or comedic talent. The other actors and actresses did a great job, too, I loved the way Ton got played.
Chon's mom deserves a medal for the best mom, the cussing in the last episode was hilarious! Ping is such a great friend, everyone should have a Ping! Miriam was at the beginning somewhat meh, but I really learned to love and support her!

At episode 5 the tune shifts and it gets more serious, but Ai and Ni always get the timing right for another hilarious moment. I really liked the story, it was light at the beginning, never boring ( the only thing that really got on my nerves was Amp. Girl, you lost!!! ) and the fight with oneself, to truly accept what you are feeling was beautifully portrait by the actor of Ton.

All in all, a nice drama with a lot of humor and more serious parts, a silly happy ending and sweet moments with a fresh couple and one that is already together for years. You can see the difference, and feel it, and that was so cute! I'm just a little sad that the kiss scenes from AiNi got cut in the post production, but there are a lot of sweet noments, gazes and touches that make up for it! I just like physical show of affirmation more than words, it's my way of showing love, so I naturally seek something like that in series, movies and such.

Give it a try, but I remind you: It's nothing to take seriously. Just enjoy the humour and the chemistry (between actors and characters) and their beautiful friendship!

Mais qu'est ce que c'est que ça ?????

Je m'étais lancé dans le visionnage de cette série par hasard, je n'avais aucunes attentes et pourtant j'ai été déçu. L'histoire en elle-même n'est pas géniale mais ça aurait pu être beaucoup mieux que ça. Je ne sais même pas ce qui m'a poussé à la regarder entièrement. L'espoir que ce soit meilleur peut-être ?

J'ai nourri un dégoût profond pour Tonhon qui à mon sens était juste problématique et ignorant. C'est déjà bien la honte d'être homophobe mais alors le revendiquer autant ? Quel intérêt ? Le gars se dit homophobe pourtant force Chon à dormir avec lui ou se déshabiller devant lui, parce que "entre homme c'est normal", quel bullshit sérieux.

En plus d'être d'une débilité sans égal, ses crises de jalousie envers "son meilleur ami" sont lourdes et n'ont aucun sens, on dirait plus qu'il est en colère que jaloux et sa crédibilité déjà presqu'inexistante ne fait que s'amenuiser au fil des épisodes. Je ne vais pas m'attarder plus ce personnage, j'ai beaucoup à dire et ce n'est que le début.

Passons à Chon, ce mignon personnage "amoureux" de son meilleur ami d'enfance. Son amour pour lui s'apparente plus à une obsession malsaine et extrêmement dérangeante, comme dans la plupart des BL où ils ne savent pas imager le crush/l'amour à sens unique, sans que cela fasse passer l'amoureux pour un amant obsessionnel qui se sent obligé de photographier son coup de cœur en cachette. Ce même Chon qui va faire le ménage dans la maison vide et temporairement inhabité de son ami alors que celui vit à l'étranger, qui le stalk sans jamais lui parler sur les réseau sociaux et qui est juste le plus idiot de cette série.

Même si il est loin d'égaler Ton sur le plan "communication", il n'est pas le couteau le plus aiguisé du tiroir. Sa niaiserie me donne la chair de poule, et le fait qu'il ne comprend pas que son meilleur ami homophobe est extrêmement problématique et qu'il devrait laisser son tomber son affaire de "je vais faire en sorte qu'il m'aime" m'a fait souffler si fort que j'en est fait une crise d'asthme, en plus, d'après ce que j'ai pu voir, il a beaucoup de gars qui lui courent après; quitte à le faire boire pour essayer d'abuser de lui….

En parlant de ça ! Neung ! Je pense que la notion de consentement n'est pas quelque chose avec laquelle il est familié, mais je ne vais pas me lancer là dedans sinon cette critique n'en finirait pas.

En conclusion, si vous avez du temps à perdre et que les séries dites "légères", qui ne demandent pas beaucoup de réflexion sont à votre goût ne regardez pas ça, il y a beaucoup plus de séries intéressantes pour perdre votre temps avec celle-ci.

Ruined by the last few minutes!

This show is FULL of tropes, absolutely rammed solid with them. The cute junior liking the senior, the ENGINEERS, only gay for you, spiteful token hetero etc etc…
I really enjoyed the majority of this series! It was like coming home on a cold day and pulling a blanket out the tumble dryer! There’s something so comforting about the familiar and predictable.
That being said, the last few minutes took the shine off/ruined my buzz. Why on earth would Ton not tell Chon he loves him? They’re going to be parents, been together 3 years, in love for more than a decade and he can’t muster it up? Yuk. I wish I had paused it and could have lived in that blissful nonsense with Miriam without hearing Chon BEG Ton to say it just once. I’m still unsure what my true rating is because I’m trying to be fair but am also seething that I stayed up all night for that.
