Even Sun Series (2022)

Could have been great

Like alot of other reviews I agree this shouldn't have been jammed into 6 episodes I feel like doing so really ruined the story value. The idea overall is really good and the potential relationships that show themselves would have been captivating to watch but instead of seeing how they could develop with conflict and drama we get a watered down version and have to fill in so many blanks ourselves its insane. This could have easily been a 13 episode series with potential for more than that we still don't get a clear answer on whats going on with Sun's father which should have been at least the main thing the series tied up but instead its dangling like what happens where did that money come from?!? We have no idea. I think overall I'm just disappointed because the trailers looked so good and had such depth but then you watch the series and feel like you got scammed.

A Waste Of Time

I really like Boun and Prem, but this show was so bad. Rating of a seven is stretching it.

I kept watching, hoping it would get better, but it never did. The story line was not good, apparently neither was the directing and Boun and Prem were not convincing as a couple. Maybe it was the story line and directing, but they had zero chemistry. They had more appeal in their cameo appearance in Cutie Pie Series than they did in this entire series.

The scenery was good, that is about the only positive. I was really disappointed. The series is confusing and boring, and none of the actors were worth mentioning. Some of it was even irritating.

No rewatch value at all.

What a pity

It’s certainly an innovative concept BUT DOES IT WORK??? Sadly, no 😦

Sun and Athit’s strange debtor-collector relationship (and how it inverses subsequently) doesn’t really do much for the story, imo. The show positions itself as a light-hearted romance comedy, but the humour fails to entertain. Even the supposedly fluffier BL scenes weren’t enough to keep me interested.

BounPrem fans should also be prepared for Even Sun to waste a bit of time with a bunch of other couples (and for no good reason too).

While I’m glad to see BounPrem again, their story had nothing that kept me coming back for more. The only reason why I didn’t drop this is because I have a special spot for BounPrem .

Great potential, but it's too short

The story is interesting. I have seen other series where we have debtors and creditors, but never as the main couple. So, it was quite an original storyline. I do wish it was longer though, especially as the ending seem very sudden and rushed. The location was absolutely stunning and the OST was very catching. The BTS clips were cute and funny as well.

I really enjoyed the sound effects whenever Sun (Prem) did something silly. It really made me focus on what is he going to mess up at that time. I absolutely loved the color scheme of Athit’s (Boun’s) clothes in the series as well. The beachy vibes and colors fit him incredibly well. And Prem rocked the orange hair!

I swear that whoever decided to put Prem into the role of a wanna-be tough guy deserves a raise. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I always see Prem as a cutie, no bad boy vibes. So, seeing him in such role was interesting. I absolutely loved how they made him the absolute worst debt collector who is scared of the debtors, ghosts and cockroaches. It was an interesting combination of traits that he pulled of incredibly well.

Athit was interesting as well. At first, I thought he is very serious and responsible, someone who has no time for fun. But then he played Sun, tricked him into his trap, and we got to see a more mischievous and free spirited side of him that I enjoyed as well.

I am a sucker for side couples, but I wish there would be less of a focus on them through the series. It’s already quite short, so having so much time spent on the side couples was a bit annoying as it ate into the screentime of Athit and Sun. Which might also why I find the ending very rushed and making very little sense.

se cerchi vibes estive sei nel posto giusto

Quando ho saputo di questa serie mi sono subito fiondata a vederla, non mi aspettavo che facessero una mini serie prima di between us che uscirà tipo a novembre (mo non ricordo benissimo quando).
La trama mi è sembrata alquanto carina, peccato che l’abbiano portata male nel corso degli ep, tutto era confuso, hanno messo la verità solo alla fine, cosa che succede già normalmente nelle serie ma bho secondo me già se dicevano tutto al quinto ep facevano meglio in quanto poi avrebbero potuto chiarire meglio il tutto, sopratutto non capisco il perchè Athit ha strappato quel foglio, ceh finalmente ti restituiscono i soldi e te li rifiuti pure, bho ma secondo me l’ha fatto in primis per morale, magari non voleva soldi dal padre della persona amata bho.
Poi hanno messo in mezzo quella cosa di loro da bambini e io ero tipo “wtf mo me lo dite”, l’hanno messa all'ultimo ep e neanche vediamo se Sun se n’era ricordato.
Vabbè in ogni caso ho amato loro due, il loro rapporto cane-gatto e la carineria assoluta.
Riguardo la seconda coppia il tutto era stra bho, confuso, la loro storia è veramente carina poi il padre del tizio…che odio perchè non voleva far gareggiare il figlio e poi senza neanche accorgercene gli stava bene, l’ha fatto gareggiare e ha anche accettato il rapporto del figlio con quell’altro ragazzo bho.
Colui che ho odiato di più è stato il padre di Sun, imbroglione che sfrutta i soldi degli altri ingannandoli e ne va pure fiero, poi quando ha mandato Sun sull’isola e lui aveva scoperto che i debitori erano loro, non Athit, Sun l’ha chiamato e quel demente invece di aiutare il figlio in diffcoltà, ha fatto finta di nulla, povero Sun, il padre non lo merita.
Riguardo la relazione tossica di Nemo non ho capito neanche io come sia finita perché sembravano essersi lasciati ma comunque si son scordati quel tizio sull’isola, vabbè meglio così sennò poi Nemo doveva affrontare ancora tutta stra relazione tossica.
In generale non capisco come molte persone odino questa serie, infatti ho visto molti commenti negativi riguardanti questa siete dicendo fosse inutile ma boh io personalmente l'ho trovata veramente carina da guardare, nonostante tutti gli aspetti negativi penso comunque sia qualcosa di molto bello da guardare.
Penso sia una serie molto leggera, fresca, mi dà proprio le vibes estive e proprio per questo mi piace.
Poi ha pochi episodi, è una storia molto leggera da vedere ed è anche molto carina, effettivamente è una di quelle serie che puoi guardare quando vuoi vedere qualcosa di poco complicato e che non ti scervella quindi veramente per quando vuoi guardare qualcosa di molto soft, semplice.
Che poi seriamente quanto ho amato Prem con i capelli arancioni e quegli occhiali stra fighi, ho amato molto anche l’intro, da vibes estive e fresche.
Approvata, la consiglio.

Half Baked

Amazing environment and great cinematography.
Music was really nice as well.

I think the downfall of this series was the execution of the plot.

The plot in itself is interesting and it could've worked well had the details been fleshed out a bit more and given a bit more love to really get the audience invested in it. Given the fact that this was a 6 episode series, they tried to fit too many side characters and stories in and were were not able to establish the main characters well.

Casting was great but they could've done more with BounPrem.
I felt detached from the characters up until the last episode and the sudden escalation in the relationship felt our of place. :(

I wish I could give a better review because I love this pairing but unfortunately this series felt a bit half baked.

This made me smirk guaranteed every episode

At first I was like "Okay I have no idea what the hell I'm watching" but right after the first episode they got me.
I guess you either love or hate this type of style - I've loved it.
All the kinda over the top things, with the sound effects and the acting of everyone. Just such a feelgood series.
Yep, and I have to say now I also wanna travel to Thailand, because, come on, how freaking beautiful is it there?

If you wanna watch something serious or realistic or something, ...this maybe not the right thing for you.
But if you just wanna watch a cute, fun thai show this is your go to.

BounPrem for the win!!

Okay so this series actually opened a new pov for me about Prem. He is so adorable as in like comedic! HAHAH i love this series because it is so funny! Prem play as Sun that is a debt collector however always failed to collect payment because of his non threatening skills. I just love it when he decided to collect debt from Athit but found out that his father is the one that have debt with Athit and not the other way around. Everything become chaos and he is unsure what to do next and have no choice but to work with Athit. He is such a spoiled brat HAHAHAHA

AND HONEY CAN WE TALK HOW GORGEOUS PREM AND BOUN IN THIS SERIES??????? OH good god. No wonder they are the most expensive BL pairing. Their commitment bro i tell you. If you want a light hearted series with non much complex and issue, this series is for you! Go ahead and give them a watch!
