Pluto (2024)

our very own paradise, pluto

when the mock trailer dropped i literally screamed cause the last thing i expected was film to be in a gl. after that i got to know abt the novel this show is based on and prepared myself for a toxic mess but the show and the team surprised me a lot.

a lot of the story is changed, like the team took the prompt from the novel and wrote the rest on their own. and i think that was a great decision.
aioon and may are very morally grey characters who are humanized and made very vulnerable. they don't condemn their actions nor glorify them just two people falling in love in very unique (?) situation.
i loved the pacing, the first half showing us how ai and may fall for each other and the other half addressing the elephant(s) in the room.
this was a romance which satisfied me. we see both of them learning about each other, sharing their insecurities and deepest pains and finding comfort in each other instead of rushing.
i feel like they handled may's blindness and everything related well along with oom as a part of this. i really sympathize with oom and also see her pov. they wrapped up everything nicely. from the accident, oom's ptsd, grandma's love etc

the one thing that irritated me the most was the 'first love' thing which eventually becomes the reason why oom breaks up with may. that was so dumb to me. its not even first love, its a first crush if we are pushing it. i get that oom is deeply insecure but come on, at least u could have shown may reassuring her. and the way may kind of accepts the fact that she always wanted ai??? like did may and oom dating did not mean anything???? they could have made a more solid reasoning for their breakup. also i did not like that instead of being at least 5% mad at may for being one of the reason her so called best friend(given that i thought he died cause we never see him until way later on) is disabled and a orphan, ai overlooks it. that could have added a bit more depth to may's arc
to finish off the complaints, i think the editing was off and the faults were very noticeable in certain episodes, mostly in scenes where we cut from one location to a new one. the cinematography also didn't feel right in certain places. also was not no budget to make a intro/opening sequence, cause wtf was that? we have such beautiful actress, scenes and osts and u have video sequence with so much slideshow animation.....this show deserved a better one

the jaw dropping part of this series is namtan and film. their acting and chemistry??? off the charts. especially namtan, she played both oom and aioon so well u could totally tell them apart even. i been a fan of film but this was literally her best work. no words left for the chemistry.

the osts are so good too, they lyrics match with the theme so well.

pim,pang and jan were fun to watch even though they didn't add much. kapook my girl i will get u a gl where u end up happy (kapook gl with pipoly,cize and jan as her love interest for 2026 pls gmmtv)

overall a very good series, will definitely rewatch it

Amazing intricate show with solid acting

Pluto is the best show out of Thailand I've ever seen. Every episode was better than the one before. Predominantly for the main couple and the happenings around them. The side couple(s) were lackluster. I'll forever be in love with the show though. Too bad it wobbled and didn't stick the landing in the perfect way all previous episodes delivered. Still a solid finale. Only the second Thai gl getting a 10/10 from me. don't know how often I've rewatched it already.
It teaches you about how a kind person can still be someone's villain, how short sighted reactions are bad for long term plans, how planning your happiness needs to involve others. It also emptied my wallet because the merch is great.
The product placement and the MV in the middle of an ep were hilarious.

Angst with love in it^^

When the announcement comes out, i really excited to waiting this series airing because the pilot/trailer is promising. And now it's already ended and damn i really love this series. It's soo good, the actresses that played the characters are soo great to picture the characters. I really like every detail and soo flaw. When watching this, i'm so happy, sad, mad, crazy and all emotions became one. I can't really describe it but geez, it's soo good. Anyway it's my second GL after 23.5 and i'm not disappointed.

But from all of flaw and good actresses when acting, there's something that i kinda don't like it, like episode 12 is really fast like it's sooo faster so i can't have much any feeling when watch because that hella fast (not like previous episode). And about the car when it crash too, it make me laugh even it's sad scene, lol. But even like that, i still enjoying it, it's soo good.

Lastly, i wanna appreciate about everything that evolved, like writing, production, supporting, and everyone, i really appreciated and it's good drama. Not perfect but i enjoying.... And song too, i like the Ost, it's soo nice in my ears. Just love it^^

That's it. 9,5/10 from me^^

Setting A New Standard

Pluto is truly setting a new and higher standard for GL series. Whether it comes to acting, storytelling, or cinematography. I want to applaud snap25, namtanfilm, and the rest of the cast and people involved with masterpiece.

I understand why the snap25 staff continuously repeated that Pluto wouldn't be Pluto without Namtan and Film. They are truly in their own league when it comes to acting and if anyone else played these characters, the story wouldn't be as hard-hitting. I love giving opportunities to new people but in some cases experience is needed and you can truly see the difference. Namtan is truly one of the best actresses I've seen (not just in gl), she played Oom so differently than Oon that you could tell me they were played by different people and I would believe you. Film has just gotten better and better throughout her career and I think being paired with Namtan and working on Pluto pushed her to be the best version of herself because she was an absolute star in Pluto.

Pluto also wouldn't be Pluto without snap25. The changes in the script were great and gave depth to a novel that I personally didn't enjoy. In the novel, Oon felt like a character only driven by lust while May wasn't a full-fledged character and didn't have much reasoning behind her horrible actions. I also loved that they took out the problematic element of May faking her blindness the whole entire time and instead used their time to educate people on the lives of people with disabilities.

There were many stand-out scenes that showed the excellent storytelling in Pluto but one that stood out to me a lot was the hospital scene between Oom and May. We originally saw May's point of view where May couldn't see Oom breaking down, so we grew a negative opinion of her. But after a couple of episode's we saw Oom's point of view and how hard it was for her to let may go/put on a cold front. Seeing the side by side of this scene was absolutely amazing.

I think I could go on and on about everything that I loved about this series, namtanfilm, and oonmay's love story but I would be here for hours. As always I will have my complaints and that is mainly the finale, which was the only reason I gave the series a 9.5 and not a 10. Most finales feel rushed and this one wasn't an exception. Compared to some other finales it is good but in the context of this series it doesn't live up to the amazing 11 episode run imo. My main issue was giving May's dad a random out of character redemption arc. I think these series believe that everyone has to have a happy ending for it to be a "true happy ending," but I don't need to see an abusive homophobic father randomly act nice especially because it didn't have any impact on May/May would have still been happy without him in her life.

Anyways, all in all this is one of my favorite series ever and I can't wait to see more namtanfilm projects in the future (girl rules pls hurry).

Is it really from gmmtv!?

After being disappointed with 23.5 I was considering pluto as as my last straw and THANK GOD it didn't disappoint me A SINGLE BIT! (Except side couples).
Tbh both namtanfilm had challenging roles here. Film definitely portrayed the character phenomenally. And namtan, the woman you are. It was SUPER CHALLENGING play twins with different characteristics, different dressing styles and different mannerisms. And are we gonna forget about how well she performed same scene delivering same dialogue with different emotions. I love the fact that snap25 gave this series and characters much more depth compared to the novel. The second lead love triangle could've been explored more as it had potential. Anygays amazing acting, chemistry, storyline and cinematography. Was it necessary to give the dad redemption!? Last episode wasn't that good tbh.

Long live namtanfilm, aioonmay, primbambi and many more to come 🤲🏻💖

A Sensual Symphony: Visuals, OSTs, and Cinematic Mastery

Among all of Chao Planoy's novels, this one stands out as being less chaotic—well, if you've read Planoy's other works and then watched the adapted shows, you'll know exactly what I mean. Planoy's books are often riddled with issues, but Pluto manages to be a bit more polished. That said, the plot still revolves around twin sisters in love with the same girl, who's manipulating both in a twisted game of control and desire—basically, a tangled web of emotional and physical exploitation under the guise of love. Just wait for the pandora's box to be opened!

Despite the messy plot, GMMTV nailed the casting for the adaptation. Namtan is already an established actress, and Film holds her own as well. If you've seen Ploy's Yearbook, you'll remember these two as the leads, although the storyline there was quite different (loved that drama too). Ciize and Earn are from 23.5, if you have watched it, you already know them. Their acting improved a lot here. It was good to see Kapook as a supporting role, hopefully someday she will be a lead character in another drama. Duangdao Jarujinda as grandma was well suited too (in the novel grandma wasn't mentioned, it was the mom)

The OSTs for Pluto are fantastic, and the way each shot is handled is visually stunning. Some scenes are narrated with an almost sensual undertone, perfectly matching the mood. There's also a lot of clever foreshadowing in the dialogue, which only readers of the novel will fully appreciate.

P.S: Some of you might have already caught spoilers from random comments, but unless you've read the entire novel in one go, you won't fully grasp what's coming in the drama version. If it sticks to the book, expect a happy ending, but not without a few twists along the way. After all, what's a good show without some drama, right? Happy watching!

The chemistry of NamtanFilm and the storyline is insanely good

Firstly, I have been in awe of seeing the acting and chemistry between Namtan and Film. I know Namtan is one of the gems in Thai industry, and Film is really good in her acting skills. But, their chemistry is the thing that everything perfect in the series. It is insanely good. Even just with looking at each other, it creates a perfect moment that left people with so many emotions. I didn't know how good they look together like this. It is like a perfect match.

Next, the storyline is really well written though there are some points that still need to improve. From addressing the social issues like the universal design for the blind people, inequality in treating their children and the rich wins all, the story actually left me with so many thoughts about it. In my opinion, the storyline in the series actually makes more sense than in the novel. It didn't leave you with too many questions after reading like in the novel. Well done Snap25 team!!!

Finally, I really enjoy the cinematic aspect in the series. All the soundtracks are on fire, and i didn't know i actually could listen again and again the Thai songs like this. Even NamtanFilm chemistry reflects on the 2 songs that they sang together.
