Twins (2023)

☙〠 IT IS WHAT IT IS...( IT IS WHAT IT IS...) 〠❧

I think the premise plot is really interesting.
For those who have seen Not me the series as me, I thought that they handled very well the edition and passage, from one twin to another; At the very beginning it was clear, somehow in the middle, it got a little confused but still understandable;

I liked ⚡︎TenTuss⚡︎ couple, the one that played Mike and Jack ( volleyball captain),their chemistry was top knot , I'm shocked that they DON'T ENDED UP TOGETHER !!! When nothing made sense they were there for us, delivering ... I enjoyed every moment they got screen time, it's not easy to a side couple BE WANTED THAT BAD,(at least for me)!!!!

Can't pass without mentioning that I loved, how they symbolically brought the puzzle between the siblings, showing their understanding, care, forgiveness and new beginning;

Overall, it was a good show, focusing on their sportive life, what I really appreciated, but I think there's still room for improvement :

With 12 episodes I can't understand how:
The twins, Salmon and First's characters were light and without further development;

⇧ Starting by the twins - Once they switched places and have to live each other lives, I was expecting to see P'Zee making efforts to talk nice with his teammates, and to better himself before starting pursuing Salmon. And HE HAD THE CHANCE TO DO THAT having Thun, Sprite's friend the most sociable and trustworthy person, so HOW COME...

⇧ Then we have P'Sprite, he seemed to be the cool, chill and carefree version of P'Zee. So it was predictable that when the time comes, that he realised that he fell in love, he W-O-U-L-D undoubtedly confess his love AND tell the true about his identity because he is the twin that "ruins everything", according to P'Zee's optic.
How-e-ver, he's unable to tell P'First the truth from the 7th episode that he realised his feelings, so that means that he passed half of the show without telling the truth; I just think that his actions doesn't match with the image they transmitted on viewer's spirit, and he had another opportunity on 9th episode, at the mall , but it was clear for me that he wasn't bothered by being called by someone else's name(☀︎)... In brief, he doesn't even put an effort even to say a metaphor, or potential clues;
And despite the fact, that I liked Sprite's character the most,=(I swear to you guys that I liked his character the most)=, with all his flaws, I think that he needed to suffer more, because he sustained a big lie, he was easily forgiven ,but with one episode left what was I really expecting ?

⇧ Salmon...(uhhh), she seemed to have a crush on P'Sprite, maybe that started because of their identical physical appearance but then, when she got to know him, she liked how approachable he(P'Sprite), made people be around him, although she gave me the impression of being a little selfish. I hoped that the friendship that grew up between Sprite and her, would have some impact on the story, but she acted as an outsider;

⇧ And P'First... he had multiple chances to investigate "P'Zee", especially at the start when he don't knew his intentions; why he didn't follow "P'Zee" around when he sneaked out the dormitory, to know what he was doing ??? When "P'Zee" was talking on the phone why he doesn't gather more informations and was hot-tempered ?? At the mall, he saw his partner's reaction plus the warm/cold treatment he received ; From one side or another I hoped that the truth was find sooner;But do I really care about these details ? N-OOOO,I still enjoyed the show though ♥︎♡

✬At the end, no matter how many options I had on mind... ☙IT IS WHAT IT IS ❧

An Unsavory Ending

Look as much as I love my boys interactions and whatnot that ending has me a bit sour in the mouth.

Like adding the scene of the friends ganging up on the sister without any resolution for her felt like such an annoyance, cause now I personally NEED to see her go through her own resolution of finding actual better friends and those two girl get their karma.

Plus the fact that we don't get a moment of the twins together with their partners in a group interaction kinda bugged me as well cause not even an apology or something to better clear the air.

And the whole "I like what we flhave now, you're my best friend but I could not see you as anything other than friends" by Jack made me wanna fight.

Sam really is my light and soul and the whole bright reason to be happy. Coulda got more TanSam scenes but I'm happy with it.

The national team picks with little to no cheering up or celebration for either of sides that did and did not get picked just felt more like at "well why did I have to see this"

FirstSprite scene on the court was cute and all but that moment of them laughing was too long and felt forced at that point.

Zee and his girl scene seemed a little outta place and could a been a good moment for FirstZee to happen to walk by and show up but they didn't and it was just welp.

The drugged out "I miss Koh" moment was also a little filler based feeling.

Lack of development for many characters has me feeling a little bugged by it.

Overall last episode could have been maintained differently to feel like a happy ending cause four pivotal moments made me feel it needs more.

i don’t know why but i’m gonna continue it

I have very mixed feelings about this series. First episode was quite boring, second and third episodes were definitely better, although not perfect at all. In general, the story is not original, slow-paced and not credible. The actors are clearly trying their best, and I saw that for many of them it’s the first acting project, so not terrible to be the first time, they definitely have time to improve. In spite of everything I’ve said so far, there’s something that is making me want to continue it, at the moment at least, probably some sparks of chemistry between the main characters (it’s not great, but it’s okay, I think it will get better in the next episodes), and I’m quite interested in what could possibly happen in the story. Or maybe I just need something to watch on Fridays, lol.
I wouldn’t exactly recommend, but you can give it a try and see if you like it, which I think it’s possible if you like the enemies to lovers trope (and if you lower your expectations).

Story

After watching the series I really enjoyed it. It's certainly not one of the worst BLS.The actors did a pretty good job..My favourite pairing was Sam and
Tan and I was hoping to see more of them being loved up.Sam was sweet and would have been a great match for Sprite.The pairing of First and Sprite although they played the parts well I didn't think they were
ideally suited.Ihink the height of First put me off. The
storyline was decent enough.Had a few flaws but all in
all it was good. There was plenty of male testerone
flying about and really good-looking males to keep you riveted.
Well-done to everybody involved.

Go watch Not Me it is much better

This story is similar to the Not Me serie by OffGun.The concept is almost the same the only thing that is different is this serie includes sports.while I would have liked it if the writing is not poor.There was no need to extend the truth to the last episode.There are many things that are missing.I am saying this with my experience that gagaoolala is not providing good content.If this channel is giving you 30 series in a year.Only 3 would be great.I am not saying it without any reason.Me as a bl watcher thinks that why everything in these series have to good in the last episode.I mean this is the purpose of last episode but if they have revealed the truth earlier and then Pfirst should be upset.Then sprite should reconcile with him that would have been a very good plot.And PZee should consult with his mother that she only cared about her wish and that ruined the relationship between the twins.Like guys I am really disappointed in this series' poor writing.

Nothing like the trailer but not in a bad way~

I absolutely love this and not just cuz First looks like if Hendery and Xiao Jun(WayV) had a child. In a way, I'm totally ok that they didn't stick to the trailer. Like Sure it kinda just makes it another collage BL BUT It's super cute and so funny and I'm having the time of my life. I am absolutely feral for the reveal and I want it now but I under stand the wait for plot reasons and it just makes me anticipate it more. On one hand Sprite could very easily and SHOULD tell First like right now and I'm sure it would be fine but on the other hand I want a big and dramatic reveal xD

Very Fun Very Cute Worth watching 100%

finished update: It was perfect and i loved it~ still 100%

Loved it, but the writing was so bad!

So, the premise in interesting, but the writing is so bad. This is kinda the criticism I have with most thai shows. IDK if its because of bad subtitles or if the story is actually that bad, but this show had so much wasted potential.

I actually quite liked First. I know a lot of people did not like Ryan's acting, but I thought he came across a lot more natural than many newbies - and he *IS* a newbie! While I really could not empathize with Zee and how he treated people, I did think that Frame did a much better job playing Zee than playing Sprite. Also, if Sprite was pretending to be Zee shouldn't he also act like Zee so that he passes for Zee? First has known Zee since they were kids, how does he not know about Sprite. I get that the parents were divorced and the families were not in contact, but the coach seemed like he was close friends with their mom. Sprite was so exaggerated and comical I could not with him. I did love the way Sprite fell for First and tried to make the team a team despite his brother, but it just seemed to strange to me that the team just accepted that this person who is acting nothing like Zee is Zee.

I also didn't understand why Sprite did not confide in First like a bajillion episodes ago. Your lover keeps calling you by your siblings name. Isn't that an ick? Shouldn't he deserve to know who he's sleeping with if you reach that point? I think that was messed up! Especially when Zee and the Girl were involved and Sprite kept insisting he wasn't involved with her. Like what did you think was going to happen. Zee seems to despise First, what did Sprite think was going to happen?

TL;DR: I thought the cast did a fairly good job given how bad the writing was. It is worth a watch if you're interested in movies like parent trap / she's the man and etc that involve twins switching places with each other. Its one of the few BLs focused on Sports so that was also interesting.

Hot actors, good moments, but mid overall

I was quite surprised by how much I liked this drama. While most of the actors are attractive, I feel the main couple doesn't quite look like they should be together. Either way, this BL is has many steamy moments, but I feel like they could have added a lot more. There were too many episodes that felt like they had little focus on the chemistry and were about the twin confusion and the big game. The excitement to watch each episode died for me and so I cannot rate this very high. The amount of funny moments weren't enough for a Thai drama, but the whole thing did feel quite bright and energetic.

Overall I would say this is an okay Thai BL. The intimate scenes are good, I just wish there was more tension between the couples and it wouldve been a highlight. Watch this if you like a sports theme and like attractive bodies and faces. Still I can't help but feel there has been some missed opportunities here. If you go for hot, go for really hot. This is an instance of a BL where I would have actually liked every member to be romantically/sexually involved with another, even though its unrealistic for a whole team of volleyball players to be gay or bi.

Worthwhile Watch

I had mixed feelings about the show, I love it but at some point, it gets mind-numbing. The last four episodes take a turn for the worst as they start dragging the storyline and eventually culminate in a disappointing ending. The concept of twins as introduced by GMMTV's Not Me, seems to have worked well for this drama/comedy, and this was what made me fall for the show.

The actors were the best part of this show with both Frame and Ryan just winning my heart. Frame did a really nice job playing both the good and evil twin while conveying both their emotions. But it was the cute moments between the two that had me squealing.

a float serve at best

you start this series and think it’s going to go a certain way and try to track it, but it ends up just dropping in front of you without making it to a real significant point.

I am still giving this a high rating because frame and ryan genuinely carried the entire series, both in acting and promotions. more so that frame being able to pull off two roles, and make me feel very different things for each character, deserves to be praised. they both poured so much into this and don’t deserve to be overshadowed by some of the worst writing to exist. it rivals mame in the sense that there is minimal critical thinking from characters, no world building, dialogue is not a thing, and production that just accepts bare minimum in editing, filming, and sound.

which leads into my second point: there’s too many couples. I would let sam and that other guy get a pass if they actually had chemistry, but team always looks so tense it was actually uncomfortable watching him. I had hoped he would loosen up a bit or even give some unscripted type of improv but it didn’t happen. I hope he gets more comfortable if he continues in this industry, but that couple should’ve been written out of the series or changed how their scenes went. generally, I find second lead couples to take my interest, but this one was a hard pass.

overall, it’s fun but suffered a lot from keeping zee as a relevant part of the plot. this needed more thought put into it from an outside party or something. disappointing, but I still think it was a good watch just to see rising actors like frame and ryan.

Acting was not strong enough

story line is kind of good, but acting is not strong enough.. even through story line is good there is somthing missing i mean its same like acting only story line is good scens line up also not strong for me.. some of parts are not giving sense at all like when zz and sprite changing times to time and them srite ask first what happend.. that wasactually idiotic question.. and actors can not give us feelings.. i am thinking what if there was a good actors this drama will be more famous..

And i must say zee's girlfriend is cute when she smile it makes my heart warm.. and for surporting characters i dont like them too lot of themcan not act and others who can act did not ricived supportive strong characters.. and i thing some stories of supportive characters is dont want for drama.. itz good for that actors but not for drama..

Overall can watch
