Even Sun Series (2022)

Well cast series has potential, but fails to live up to expectations

I had high hopes for this series, because of BounPrem of course, but also studio Wabi Sabi because they typically deliver high quality shows…

But, I was let down by the plot - it just wasn’t interesting enough for me to keep watching and if not for BounPrem I might have stopped, but I saw it through because I wanted to see their relationship develop. Unfortunately the pacing of their relationship felt a bit off to me. Maybe because we didn’t get enough time to see their characters develop fully with this short series. Their chemistry was undeniably great & their acting was superb, but I think they were ripped off due to bad writing.

One relationship I really liked, was the 2nd couple (I won’t put their names, as I don’t want to spoil the pairing). Their development felt more natural, and I actually liked their story more. As another user said, I also wouldn’t mind seeing them in another series, maybe even as the mains :)

Some more things I liked were: the gorgeous scenery, the intro which I never skipped, cuz that shiz is catchy as heck (why are all Thai drama intros so good huh?!), and the last episode, which gave me edge of my seat, heart clenching’ feelings, waiting to see what happened next, which I hadn’t felt a lot of this series. Please make more episodes like this in the future!!

Good luck to all the talented actors in this series & I can’t wait to see more from BounPrem! Until Between Us airs, I will be rewatching the specials + their cute scenes from this & UWMA hehe ☺️

Love in paradise

those of us who are fans of Boun have a hard time being objective in our assessments, go ahead. Since Until we meet again, seeing him on screen, even if it is a cameo as Cutie Pie, is a gift and the connection that he made with Prem Warut is more than a ship, it is from authentic colleagues. Boun Noppanut Guntachai as a singer is a great discovery. But the series well… I start from not understanding why it has been classified as Content Rating: 18+ Restricted when there is very little romance or affection expressed… or little violence other than boxing or debt collectors! the plot is unevenly armed, with characters who do not fully understand what moves them, not even how they connect with each other. The story has no value, not even pulling the topic of children who knew each other in childhood, which is not used. Adults are childish even though they play the role of lenders. What stands out absolutely is the beauty of the settings, of the island, of its nature and beaches with excellently raffled shots, blurring or focusing to better get into the environment. It's like a great advertisement for a tourist destination. Even the actors' clothing fits into that atmosphere of serenity and beauty. But it's a shame we didn't get more out of the Boun Prem connection ship. … Series to watch with a relaxed mind and dream of going to Thailand and living that placid life. To give an example that breaks this idyllic image, the scene of the monkey with the coconuts on the beach, when he is seen under the palm tree tied and led by a human. He breaks the heart. It was better not to have exposed it and to have left us with the dream that it was wildlife and not that tyranny towards the animal that follows with its head down. Let's stay with this island and how beautiful love is and the promise of finding it without looking for it as this series proposes. and running away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the city to find this paradise.

It's bad... Not terribly bad but bad nonetheless.

Right from the beginning the direction pulled me off and then, it only continued.
There is absolutely no continuity in this series and a lot of errors that could have been easily rectified if the filming crew was paying attention to what they were doing. I have two examples in mind.
The first one is when Sun goes down the mountain alone. He decides to go back up for a reason that he is not even doing at the end and then, goes back down but... the road he's walking on is climbing and Arthit comes from the opposite direction from where Sun is, which is totally illogical if they both are going down the mountain. They should walk in the same direction. Also, I have to add that when Sun is halfway to the hotel when he is first descending, it is totally dark outside, but when he goes up, the sky is lighter than before.
The second example is when Sun begs Arthit to free him from the handcuffs and Arthit accepts. But the next scene shows them walking side by side, with the handcuffs locked on their wrists. So what happened between those two scenes?...
And there are so many errors like these throughout the series that I sometimes wondered if they didn't lose any footage and tried to deal with what they had left.

We also lack information about important things. Like the fact that Sun's dad has scammed an old man for 10 million bahts but we don't know if the old man realised he has been scammed and what happened next. We also have a flashback of Sun and Arthit when they were young (and Arthit remembers who is Sun) but we don't know if Sun remembers who is Arthit. And why is Ashing's dad sending Sun take back the money when he knew that was Sun's dad that owed money to Arthit's dad? Unless, Sun's dad was owing money to both Arthit's and Ashing's dads? I'm so confused...

Last but not least, the pacing of the series is awful and badly done. There is absolutely no progression whatsoever between the two leads throughout the whole series and, all of a sudden, at the end, Sun wants to stay with Arthit (when he wanted to escape the last 5 episodes) and Arthit accepts with a smile and a tear in his eye. Since when did they develop such a relationship? Is this again a case of missing footage that I was mentionning earlier? This is ridiculous. So I couldn't care less about these characters and their relationship because we didn't see anything interesting between them.

To conclude, I would say that the plot could have been interesting if it were correctly written and directed. I even thought at one point that maybe it was because 6 episodes were too short to develop such a story but the problem wasn't it: the main problem is the filming crew... The same filming crew with a 12-episode series would have been the same or even worse because our suffering would have lasted longer.

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.

It didn't feel like I was watching a fully thought out show

I recently discovered Boun and Prem and wanted to see more of them as leads, unfortunately, the two series I've seen of them aren't must-watch. This show had an intriguing plot but its execution was all over the place. I don't understand the need for four couples in six episodes. We literally got over two minutes of Sun cleaning up a room when that time could have contributed to exploring Sun and Thai's rivalry or Sun and Mek keeping each other up to date over the phone about their work. Sun's phone call with his dad did not need to be as long as it was. I understand it was going for comedy but because it was prolonged, it became boring and cringe. Honestly, the boxing arc felt so out of place, it might have been fine if it wasn't taking so much screen time from Athit and Sun's storyline but it did and I found myself skipping a lot of it despite appreciating boxing films and games. Mangkorn and Ashing's story should have been a spin-off or "Even Sun" should have had more episodes.

It's odd that Athit and Sun's dads are best friends and close enough to lend and borrow 10 million baht yet Athit and Sun never knew that fact and only met once before Athit moved away. Sun's dad being the reason Athit's dad had a stroke/heart attack was so random and incoherent. If Boun and Prem weren't the leads, I wouldn't have given this show a chance or anything higher than a 5.

I expected more

Most of the way through this show I didn’t know what was going on, mostly I think this was down to the useless subtitles.
The setting for this show was beautiful and some of the cinematography was excellent, it had potential to be a cute story if there had been an effort to write a decent storyline. However they decided to pack it full of pointless couples and useless characters.
The only decent chemistry was from the boxer couple, they showed sparks from the moment they met (sorry BournPrem).
I feel the writers should have focused on their growing feelings, along with the ML’s and cut a lot of the other characters out that were not related to the main storyline which could have been really interesting if more effort was made.

APPRECIATE THE STORY NOT JUST THE ACTORS!!!

Disclaimer: This is not biased just bcoz I am a fan of BounPrem's.

Before I watched the show, I read most of the reviews here and I'd like to disagree for some. But then those were their own opinions so that's understandable.

The story plot was so cute and not just about your typical most of romance stories. There were a lot of plot twists too, even the smallest details. BounPrem's sweet scenes were not that much but I saw that as a strategy for viewers to look and ask for more (this is very effective, will definitely wait for their upcoming drama "Between Us" 🤍 bcoz this isn't enough!!) The supporting actors and couples were also good esp Mangkorn and Ashing!! 😭

All in all, for me this is Highly Recommended! Very comforting to watch plus the view of the island, so beautiful!!

Bounprem's chemi is just amazing

I finished watching this drama and it really amazed me how bounprem's chemi is always so great..they dont need those deep emotional scenes or those deep kisses or NC scenes..with just simple hugs, simple smile and a peck on the cheek is already so sweet like you can feel they are really in love with each other..their eyes just shines n focused on each other during their moments n they managed to engaged audiences along with them and got lost in their moments with just a simple soft stare in each others eyes..i dont really write reviews for series or anything...but this time i wanna write one because this drama is just so funny to watch especially for those bounprem's fans..i dont really wanna spoil anything but one thing for sure this drama is just a total comedy🤣🤣but at the same time still emotional if you get whats behind all their struggles..like how prem's suddenly have to deal with his dad problem and how his dad did him dirty...and so on i just wanna show support by giving higher ratings besides i really love this type of series that light comedic and easy to watch... After completing this drama...i think they have one of the rarest love confession moments ever like *'can i borrow ur money, as much as i couldnt pay the debt back'* is just so cute!!🤣🤣 nice and easy to watch drama...if you are looking for something light stress free drama then this could be it for you.

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!
