Futuro (2023)

Curta e gostosa

Então, não tem muito o que falar além do que está posto. É uma série bem curta, apenas seis eps, por isso não tinha muito tempo pra o casal ficar enrolando, por isso o desenvolvimento foi tão rápido e atropelado. De início isso me deixou decepcionada, não teve a conquista, foram logo se apaixonando, se decidindo, se pegando, mas quando vi que seria tão curta entendi a pressa.

A série é muito boa, o que não gostei foi que nesse curto espaço de tempo ficaram criando dramas desnecessários e sem lógica, aquelas famosas brigas que poderiam se resolver com uma conversa, mas que os BL'S arrastam para criar um problema entre o casal, que se resolverá posteriormente. Apesar de ter achado a atuação bem razoável, algumas cenas de choro me davam nos nervos, pois não caía uma lágrima... Os amigos são uns fofos, as famílias, apesar dos pequenos conflitos foram uns queridos também.

Aspectos técnicos todos ok, atuação, fotografia, filmografia, locações, ost, gostei de tudo. Além disso, o casal tem uma química excelente!

Enfim, com certeza assistirei mais vezes, e indico muito.

NÃO QUERO QUE ACABA NUNCA

É tão confortável assistir os dois desde o inicio é a coisa mais fofa Ana logo aproveitou a oportunidade dada pelo universo e não perdeu tempo e está certo eu não queria o fim desse primeiro episódio de tão bom que é ver esses dois estou ansiosa para o próximo e para ver o primeiro beijo que na minha humilde opinião vai ser a coisa mais linda e cheio de química, pois se logo de cara esses dois estão esbanjando fofura queria colocar em um pote sério e nunca mais soltar.
O clima do episódio está bom as músicas são agradáveis de ouvir e combina muito com a vibe da história vai valer muito a pena acompanhar.

I have no idea what is going on.

And neither do any of the characters.

The actors are awkward and not at all believable. Maybe they should have been support roles for a few months/years. Ana is pretty and Fuse is cute tho. Why keep referencing Mark and Vee?

I don't mind the recast of Gun & Bar, but to be honest I absolutely ADORE Folk as an actor - he was pretty much the only reason I kept watching TOSSARA, so that makes me super sad.

Plot? What Plot?

This was just a BL for the sake of being a BL. there is no story and no realism. The love story was contrived. It had no romance or cuteness. It was so meh. 90% of the time I just wanted to fast forward through the episode. I'm at 5/6 episodes. Might as well finish the show. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

I Usually Love Rookie Thailand but...

Okay, I have finished episode 5 thinking it was the end but apparently 1 more episode has been added. But there is nothing an added episode can do to save this mess.
This is by far the worse script for a BL (except 2 Moons The Ambassador and let's face that travesty should have never been made)

The story is so contrived. Ana is already crushing on Fuse before meeting him officially and then they do meet as Fuse arrives at Ana's father's dental practice for a teeth cleaning with Fuse asking if hes good looking and why he's single if he's so good looking. Ana says Fuse can hit on him and BOOM & BIG BOOM (Pun Intended) suddenly they are in love. Both suddenly feel the right to be jealous for the most mundane of reasons. They barely know one another yet all this angst ensues. It's almost farcical. The tears and jealousy is laughable.

And they have zero chemistry or the ability to build some. Like for instance 21 Days Theory laid some ground work and made it believable. X had a crush on Q and realized his time was running out to make a move so he insinuated his way into Q's life. He made Q fall for him even though Q had no idea who he was. It wasn't some instant love.

In addition I can be very petty and I admit that so when the new version of Love Mechanics came out it was not made available to an international audience but the first two episodes appeared on YouTube and that was when I saw the new Gun and Bar and immediately I said NO. They were not Folk or Win (the original Gun and Bar) they were in my opinion a poor substitute. Good Looking Yes. Decent Actors Eh, sure but for me they were not authentic to what Gun and Bar was in En of Love (TOSSARA, LOVE MECHANICS & THIS IS LOVE STORY) it was like how MAME took Love By Chance 2: A Chance To Love and changed the whole story which made no sense.
Ana and Fuse seemed like a joke the way they suddenly became boyfriends. And all that followed. Plus were Gun & Bar even needed if they were so would Vee and Mark. They were not there and definitely weren't recast.
I personally would have liked Tee and Bever to be used more as support than Gun and Bar. Tee played Ana's friend but wasnt a cohesive part of the story. All support seem to come from Fuse's friends like Kamphan, Gun and Bar.
Even though it ended unhappily even The Best Story made more sense and had a great balance.
Future the Series will definitely not go down as a favorite. And that's a pity because I adore Rookie Thailand.
Update: Episode 6 Aired and nothing changed in fact it got just a little bit worse. So good news is it's over and I never have to see it again. This one is dead to me.

Not really worth it

Honestly, after watching the first episode, I almost quit watching it. Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to continue because maybe it got good after it. The real answer, no, it didn't. (THIS IS INCLUDING NO HATE TO ANY ACTORS WITHIN THE SERIES)

The beginning already had me thinking what kind of script this was. Within the first half (and the first episode) Ana was already "in love" with Fuse which doesn't really even make since because the haven't even really met. After a little bit of flirting, Fuse and Ana are dating?! Accusing each other and getting jealous then starts to happen not even 20 minutes (in the show) after they started dating.

There was no inclusion of getting to know each other before dating. This was definitely an instant love situation which made it not very enjoyable. The ending also made no sense. I would have liked it to end at episode 5 but they just added pointless plot to the 6th episode. I wouldn't recommend watching if you are looking for a cute, short, BL to watch that has some plot to it. Not going to be rewatching this in the future.

IT IS BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD I will not watch this again ever. Not even for money.

No plot.
No chemistry between the leads.
No idea what's happening 80% of the time.
I don't even remember their namesand I finished 2 days ago. Let's name it LITTLE one and Dentist one.
Little one BFF got mad for a broken promise, sulk, got drunk, sulk more, got more mad, more sulking, etc. Issue never talk, never resolve. Assume he will sulk till eternity.
Dentist has issues rushing things. 3 seconds after getting a boyfriend wants them to meet the parents. Everyone but Little run for their lives. I don't blame them.
Friends are noisy. And so many u stop trying to know whom is whom. And who is friend of whom.
The only girl friend tries to steal Little from Dentist every chance she got.
Parents act like preteens.
They keep talking about how mad they are cuz Mark and Vee are in love and never visit them. And at the end they never did. They name them almost every episode.
NOTHING HAPPENED. And people sulk and got jealous and mad and break up for the most stupidest reasons.
Little is a minor when sleeps with Dentist. Dentist finds out later that fact but since it's Little almost 20th b-day everything is fine and dandy.
No NC Scene just some kisses. THANKS GOD. I don't think I can cope with an NC Scene with that lack of chemistry.
Don't waste almost 6 hours of your like. Sleep or watch the grass grow. It'll be more fulfilling funnier.
DO NOT WATCH THIS. FOR REAL.

skip episodes 3 and 5

Overall: nothing really happened in this series and when something did happen it felt extremely contrived. You can skip episode 3 (a whole bunch of stupid jealousy) and 5 (a whole bunch of counseling sessions with all combos of characters). This is set in the Love Mechanics universe with mostly new actors. 6 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala and YouTube.

Content Warnings: dub/non con kiss, homophobia

What I Liked
- the supportive friends (but had waaaayyyy too much screen time)
- a few cute moments
- Ana's mom and dad
- mentioned how expensive medicine is
- they do allude to them having sex but don't show anything
- that Fuse stands by Ana and they talk in the car in episode 4 about what happened and stands up for their relationship again
- neutral, there are comedy sound effects

FYI the title Future might come from the character's name, Anakhot, which means "future" in Thai.

Room For Improvement
- the plot is bogged down by not needed conversations/texts with Ana and Fuse's parents and friends, in the final episode out of 40 minutes there was a 4 minute scene towards the beginning and a 4 minute scene at the end with just the two of them (and even at the end it wasn't just the two of them exactly), so only 8 minutes of 40 minutes was spent on the protagonists with each other?!!!!! The plot in these 6 episodes could have easily been cut down to 2 episodes.
- Ana is set up to be very shy and then there is a (pointless) 1 year time jump and suddenly he is extremely forthright/flirty???
- a bunch of characters were introduced really quickly but I figured out the main couple at least
- nonsense plot and dialogue, who on earth would say 'you have to be my wife/bottom' to a near stranger, do they like each other, why??? completely ridiculous (and not in the fun way) jealousy
- the protagonists seem too immature to be in a relationship with anyone
- that bizarre conversation with that guy at the end came out of nowhere, and why does it matter if someone has had many partners or has many partners, what century are we living in
- loud and constant music
- crying without tears
- many subtitle errors that negatively affected understanding what was being said, I wish Gaga had cleaned up the subtitles I assume they were given by the production company

I watched it so you don't have to

Most of the younger cast in this series are rookies, and I hope they will get better given the chance, but this was not worth watching. 6 episodes and all we got was crush/boyfriends/jealousy/stupid parents/making up/parents now ok. Butterfly level 0. No chemistry.
This series fits into the Love Mechanics/En of Love universe. And does it fit! This universe is not one to produce the best romance (unless it's re-done properly as done with Love Mechanics) and this series is no different. I would have rated lower if not for the acting of Bigboom in the role of Ana. He's the only one who seemed to put in real heart and effort and who's acting was not cringe. Every other character was either written badly with odd or cringe dialogue, overacted about 60 % or just didn't bother to act at all. A lot of unnecessary dialogue, sometimes the same dialogue but in a different scene. People in love don't seem to be in love at all, drunk people are not drunk, kisses are not kisses. Side characters are not of any importance apart from the parents (who are just as cringe as the rest). Please thank me for watching this for you, so you don't have to!

Cute actors let down by the story

I don't recommend it. The series suffers from a story that lacks maturity. There are some scenes that imply sexual intimacy and the actors are nice to look at and seem to be giving it their best but are ultimately let down by the script.
The main characters are surrounded by colleagues and friends that, when they are not trying to dig into their personal business, are out to sabotage any chance of the budding relationship working. It's annoying!
I stopped watching because after 4 episodes I still don't really like any of the characters. It may be that a lot of comedic banter between friends works in Thai but falls flat in the english subtitles.

I really wanted to like this series...

The problem is that it is just dull, there isn't much of a plot and what is there doesn't make much sense. I don't mind a series that is all cute and full of fluff, but this isn't that type of series. This feels like a throwback to 2015 era Thai BL series in a way. It is just unpolished, and not well written or directed. The production values like sound, and at times even lighting and camera focus are lacking quality. I have seen low budget series and tiny production teams that do a much better job. This is something you watch but once it is done, it is highly forgettable.

The actors did an OK job with the poor script and I hope to see them again in a better series. Or maybe I just have a soft spot for the cute boys? That said, there wasn't any apparent chemistry between the main couple which again leads back to poor production or a bad director.

I watched this to the end mostly to complete the En of Love and Love Mechanics series. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend starting this or watching as a standalone show.

Ver bajo su propio riesgo

La verdad... la serie no es la mejor del mundo... es para verla si querías saber de estos personajes luego de verlos en "En of love" y "Love Mechanics" si no la has visto estas series, recomiendo verlas antes para que al menos puedas querer terminar esta serie, porque aunque los personajes tienen una química muy linda, la verdad es que el guion de esta serie no funciona mucho. En momentos solo pensé porque estoy viendo esto... luego recordé el porque, y no se me pasaba, pero me aguantaba porque quería realmente saber de esta parejita, pensé que seria mucho mejor, pero no, me decepciono un poco...

Hubieron sus cosas que me gustaron la verdad... en especial en el ultimo ep, cosas como los padres de ambos hablando sobre apoyar a sus hijos y siempre estar para ellos, realmente el ultimo ep fue lo mejor de todo. hubieron momentos en la serie en que solo pensaba dios porque son tan inseguros estos niños si ambos están seguros de lo que sienten, y hablan del tema pero la verdad se pasan las conversaciones del culantro...

No creo volver a verla, pero se que existió y la verdad me duele que no me haya gustado como pensaba que iba a gustarme cuando la inicie.
