Século de Amor (2024)

Another straight to gay BL

I never liked the premise for this drama but I was told I should watch it before condemning it.

I watched two episodes, it's condemning time!

The drama is actually worse that I originally thought, I just don't understand how people who watch BL love this tripe, the writers seem to get their inspiration from the perv section in Gay porn. Straight people are always being blamed for everything wrong within the gay community, but BL is all about straight guys going gay, sometimes it's even two straight guys who suddenly decide they want the D.
I have been told the ML might have been bi, the woman he loved died and he was willing to suffer terrible pain for 100 years so he could be with her again when she was reincarnated.

THIS OBVIOUSLY SCREAMS BISEXUAL!

I was also told that the theme is LOVE BEYOND GENDERS, well, we all love beyond genders, but straight men don't want to suck on a pole and gay men don't want Predator mouth down stairs.
When did body parts stop mattering? Body parts are what define us, without different body parts there would be no men and women, there would be no gay, straight or bi.
I know some people want to pretend that we can all identify as whatever we want, but the reality for everyone else is that if you don't have the body parts they like, they don't care what you say.

We have always been told that people are born gay,
This is not true anymore, now we have love beyond genders, the only thing that matters is what's on the inside.

The only time a gay man ever worries about what's on the inside is how big is it ( see, body parts do matter )

A pleasant experience

This time my review will be a bit longer, but those who know me and write to me many times on gaytitulky.info, where the series is translated into CZ, will surely forgive me.
This is one of those really good mystery series connected with the Thai branch of Buddhism, it surprised me because after the first episode I had no idea what would happen next, because the original described plot took place in the first episode and I didn't like the main characters either. Apparently, the same process took place inside me while watching, as with many viewers, because the increase in ratings from the first episodes to the end is not typical, it usually decreases (IMDb from 7.2 to 8.3 and MDL from 8.0 to 8.5) and I found my way to two the main performers and I started to like them a lot, both as characters and as actors. Well, if I look at San (Daou), how he looks at MDL in civilian clothes, maybe it's not him either, I don't want that! ? I've gotten used to it and I love the look of the "old man" with old-fashioned clothes and short pants, the creators did a good job with that. Not to mention Ponda (Third), I already love this little girl from the 180 Degree series ... And even the great-great-granddaughter Ju was really great, one of the few "normal" female characters in BL projects, otherwise we mostly meet scumbags, extra bushes, or is the character scared, affected or annoying. All of them, including Ton and Tao, convinced me that in the end I gave the acting performances not a nine, which I originally thought, but a ten, despite the slightly grinning "rat" Rat. The overall concept, the story, the actors, the music, all of this completely prevailed in my assessment, and this is not affected even by the not completely 100% processing, which can be partially excused by the fact that the creators had to fit into a very limited budget (battles, shooting games and red marmalade or raspberry juice, treadmill, etc. and at the climax of the last episode we had to watch Tao brushing his teeth with superpaste). But what I can't forgive, and it shouldn't affect the budget, and many viewers will forgive even this under the overall impression, are the two Asian "falls" in the first part and in the last one, when Wat holds the stone in his pretty feminine fingers and in the close-up in the shot, it is held by a man's fingers (apparently this omitted scene was recorded by directors Wo and MI themselves), I thought they were going to limit me, I've already seen it in some other series, I'd kick someone from the crew for that, and I'm reducing it by two whole rating points for processing.

I’m writing my review in advance and will add missing elements later. Well, this is my second drama about reincarnation.

It’s an interesting topic; I like the idea of eternal love and love beyond gender.

Now, the story: it’s shaky, the characters lack logic and common sense. The plot is extremely simple and predictable. The villains are just evil, with no depth. You could say that if you’re looking for a bit of originality, it might be fine, but if you want a deep story, you’ll be disappointed.

The actors are all quite good, although I find the fight scenes to be rather poor. However, since San is not a fighter, it’s understandable.

The characters are generally likable, but I have a huge issue with the young niece, whom I find very intrusive! I wanted to tell her to be quiet and mind her own business.

6/10
