Water Boyy The Series (2017)

Everything about the show was great but there was not many scenes of the main characters we all came for (waii and apo), it was so full of everyone else and the scenes between the MCs were limited. The ending was stupid, the whole show, 1 freaking kiss scene between waii and apo! Its not just that, some of the ending ''plot twists'' (literal air quotes( were not necessary. The show was nice but the ending wasn't good enough, the ending is happy but its annoying, if you watch it you'll know. the show is good but not amazing, cast is 10/10 but still some things that need to be said didn't happen so yeah, still annoyed thats why i'm writing this review, its the only was i can vent my frustration. i feel like the ending was just so dead. i still recommend you watch it!

The truth about this bl series you need to know before you see this!!!

Hello!! Before everything i wanna tell you that i'm not that good at english so it can have gramatic errors and other wrong stuff! sorry 4 that
I saw many people telling that this series is really good, rating this sh*t with an 10 but bro i guess they don't know how to appreciate series or they just watch stuff (i remeber that i was like this) and never watched a good gmmtv series (not so hard to find).
I just watched it because my dream is watch all lgbtqia+ series by gmmtv and obv water boyy is one.
this series have many triggers like:
-rape
-cheat
-stalk
-a lesbian character dating with a man
-and many other really bad stuff..

so i was with faith about the relashion shipp between the lesbian character with a girl (pan and namkhaeng) and basically the all 12 episodes was everything okay, pan trying to have namkhaeng's heart and they do date in the series. BUT BRO.. WHY THEY PUT PAN WITH FAH IN THE 2 LAST EPISODES???? like nobody cares about fah feelings about pan because we know that pan is a lesbian woman (i guess she's no more) and like i though that hadn't chance but bro why does gmm made it! like ok they still could put the namkhaeng and pan's broke up in the series but they don't need to put her with a straight man.
I noticed that in this series they just care about man's feeling.. not about woman's feeling. The situation of fah they do care, the situation of fay they don't care because omg he's with broken heart BECAUSE HIS LESBIAN CRUSH ARE DATING DO THEY NEED TO PUT HIM DATING WITH HER but litteraly your boyfriend cheated on you and they don't do nothing!!! have so many bad stuff in this drama. IT HAD EVERYTHING TO BE REALLY GOOD. this drama is really confuse because like if you watch it you'll never understand what's happening. Is really easy get lost watching this drama.. i guess that if they put pan and namkhaeng and waii broke up with fay before he tell him feelings to apo and other many stuff like the rape thing and idk.. the series could be really good. was such boring watch it.. like sotus is from 2016 and is SO MUCH BETTER. i do like the kluay and achi romance but was too short! Apo and Waii are a good couple and Earth and New are really good actors but like the story didn't make it look good. if you watch like 1000 stars that's a f*cking prodution by gmm you'll see how good Earth is (or even moonlight chicken and cupid's last wish). well i'm not a fan of dark blue kiss but New was insane in dbk- wan and min's plot is good but min made shit and it was kinda slow..
but yeah i can't keep writing about it so i'll stop do it right now! watch it by yourself and tell me what do you think.
(i just put 1 star in rewatch value because mydramalist don't accept 0.. you need to put a number between 1 ans 10)

Waterboyy series is another BL Thai Series. For me, it is just okay series, nothing special just another GMMtv creation.

Storyline: The 4 couple in this short series (14 ep) is too much, I can't focus in any of couple because it's rather short and forgettable. And some of the big story plots aren't quite well delivered. Some of the progresson is rushed. The one I like is some secret that makes me curious.

Casting: All main character is well portrayed, some of the extras are bad.

Acting: The veteran Actors (Victor, Fon) are excellent in portraying their character, Earth is a bit weird, New, Piglet, and White are quite good.

Music: The music is okay, the actors sing the OST (Victor and Piglet), not great just okay, the BGM also okay.

Rewatch Value: one time is enough, if you can focus on all couples you should rewatch this series.

Verdict: I give Waterboyy the series 7.0/10, I would give it higher if only the writer makes less mistake.

There are a lot of people complaining about how boring this series is, but i find joy in this instead. I’m tired of dramatic shows and movies, so if you’re up for some slow romance and developments, and for some real nice friendships, go watch this! Many people say that the downside of the series is the lack of screentime for the main characters which are Waii and Apo and honestly it’s true. However, I actually like how the other characters get enough screentime and they have their own interesting backstories. I don’t find myself bored while watching this at all. They have great chemistry, and their acting is pretty good, too. Overall, thumbs up for this series! They give great lessons, too.

I started to watch this series because of Newwie but... I was not interested in any of the ships aside from Waii and Apo, and Kluay and Achi who were at times, cute. Fay was a great character and she's a good actress, every scene in which she was crying, it felt real. I think the other ships were kinda forced, I skipped everything that had to do with Min and Wan because I didn't understand what the point was. The plot with the coach was weird, and Pan and Fah were just not it for me nor that other girl. I love Toptap, but I was not into his character or the coach Tee, it felt unnatural and forced which I get but still. It was an okay series, I honestly love the fact that Newwie and Tay went on to finish with their series because I liked them more.

To be honest, the story plotline was everywhere. Like, my gay self couldn't even track it and I have seen American LGBT dramas. It originally started with the idea to save the swimming club and characters were added out of nowhere. They would forget the main story point and come back to it when it was helpful to. However, the side characters and their stories were great. Each character, you will rout for and there are secrets that I am not going to tell you about, but oh man!
Some parts will make you uncomfortable, like the age gap between some of these people. I was a little disturbed there and really wanted to stop watching the show in those moments. Also, there is forced sexual content (not explicit). I was a little disturbed by how fast Apo recovered from almost being raped by Waii. I do understand how they were still able to become good friends. Waii is a very emotionally unstable character due to the fact that his father is an oblivious, neglectful son of a -----. Waii doesn't know what to do with his feelings and loses control. He distances himself from Apo because he doesn't want to hurt him anymore. Apo understands that he is truly feeling guilty and forgives him.
The casting choice was very well done and I applaud them for it. The personalities of all the people in this show are amazing. This show isn't really about sports, but more about the relationships within the team.

Apesar de ser uma série já um pouco antiga, eu só assisti recentemente, e não me arrependo. A história é um pouco clichê: um romance universitário no estilo "enemies to love". Não sei se foi o primeiro, mas com certeza foi um dos primeiros trabalhos do Earth Pirapat ( inclusive eu acho que hoje ele está muito mais bonito do que há seis anos atrás ). Tem alguns "buracos" no roteiro e na direção, mas eu realmente gostei bastante das reviravoltas que acontecem, demonstrando de formas diferentes que o amor não tem idade e nem gênero. O New Tithipoom (sempre fofo) também está uma gracinha nesta história, sempre fazendo papel de moço com bom caráter, fora ouros belos atores que fazemparte do elenco.. Recomendo se você gosta do gênero, e recomendo que você assista também o clip musical com o tema da série ( disponével no YouTube ).

Rien ne vaut les origines

Alors, restons francs, malgré plusieurs commentaires que j'ai pu lire, je n'ai pas aimé la série mais, PAS TAPER ! j'm'explique...

Bon, la série n'est pas totalement nulle non plus, hein, me faites pas dire ce que je n'ai pas dit, mais il y a dans la balance plus de point négatifs que positifs selon moi.

Je vous propose donc d'approcher pour regarder en détails les plateaux de cette balance :

Les points positifs :

tout d'abord la série est un remake du film donc elle peut prendre le temps là où le film n'a pas pu le faire et elle nous présente plusieurs autres couples en plus de nos deux héros, qui plus est, des personnages hétérosexuels, homosexuels femme et homme, ce que j'ai trouvé très intéressant car, d'après moi, ajouter de la diversité c'est toujours un bon point.

Les personnages sont biens décrits, bien construits. Les jeux d'acteurs ne sont pas égaux mais certains ressortent énormément comme Victor Zheng (Min) qui joue vraiment très bien et heureusement ! Car son binôme... j'en parlerai dans la seconde partie.... On retrouve White (Fah) de Lovesicks qui nous offre, comme à son habitude, une performance époustouflante ! Et enfin, celui qui m'a bluffé le plus : New (Apo). Alors lui, à chaque fois qu'il rentrait en scène, c'est moi qu'on pouvait essorer (et pourtant je n'ai pas de piscine sous la main !), y donne chaud ce garçon ! Que ce soit dans les scènes drôles ou les scènes émouvantes il peut faire craquer tout le monde par son sourire ou son air abattu, les deux vous transportent sur un petit nuage en mode "Moooooh".

L'alchimie entre les couples met du temps à se développer mais quand elle est là, elle y reste et c'est un bonheur renouvelé de les voir se regarder dans les yeux avec intensité. Les scènes avec la bande de copains sont particulièrement agréables et sympathiques, j'en reprendrai bien une tranche à chaque fois.

Enfin, certaines phrases et dialogues sont particulièrement mémorables en matière de questionnements, ça fait réfléchir et ça donne à penser.

Les points négatifs :

Et oui, seconde partie déjà, comme je l'ai dit y'en a plus que pour la première...

Au niveau du scénario, ya des gros problèmes selon moi, ils "luttent" les uns contre les autres en se montant des stratagèmes dignes d'élèves d'école primaire, voire de collège mais, rappelons le, ils sont à l'université ! On a envie de leur tirer les oreilles pour leur crier dans le pavillon : "Oh, tu te calmes ! Tu comprends ce qui se passe ?! Quand je te parles, y'a rien qui gigote là-haut ?!".

Je parlais du jeu d'acteur particulièrement incroyable tout à l'heure et si on parle du personnage de Min, celle à qui il donne la réplique, Wan m'a paru teeellement molle ! C'était une torture ! Son histoire est intéressante mais quand on la connait, on se rend compte qu'elle n'a pas évolué si ce n'est qu'elle ne porte plus de lunettes et qu'elle s'attache les cheveux différemment, tu parles d'un parcours initiatique !

En parlant de filles, je m'attaque maintenant à Pan. Mais quelle déception ! L'enthousiasme que j'éprouvais au début de la série concernant ce personnage s'est effondré comme un soufflé à la voir utiliser des plans niveau cour de récré de maternelle pour finir par changer d'orientation sexuelle comme ça l'arrange. Euuuh, on en parle ou pas ? Ici la série nous présente en réalité un triangle amoureux de pansexuelles (j'ai mis le féminin, car ça ne concerne que les filles du triangle) mais sans le dire. Bon, passons...

Là j'attaque le noyau dur de l'histoire et de l'acting : le couple lead. OMG ! Autant Apo est génial, autant Waii... j'arrêtais pas de hurler (silencieusement) à Earth : " mais retourne donc sur ta montagne à compter tes étoiles, tu seras plus utile !" (ceux qui ont la réf comprendrons). Alors Waii m'a foutu une claque qui avait des relents de Fuse dans la série Make It Right. C'est pas qu'il ne sait pas choisir entre Fay et Apo, c'est plutôt qu'il veut le beurre, l'argent du beurre et le c*l de la crémière en prime ! Lors du voyage de l'équipe chez Apo j'ai enfin cru que c'était bon et puis revirement total pour une fin trop amère selon moi même si la série reste sur l'image que tout va pour le mieux, j'aurais aimé un bisou comme celui auquel on avait eu droit !

Enfin, je ne vais pas m'étendre sur les actes d'agressions sexuelles qu'on peut voir, je sais que la culture est différente, d'autant plus à cette époque (pourtant pas si lointaine) mais je pense que la série aurait pu avoir le bon ton de ne pas lancer une musique romantique quand ladite scène se produit dans l'épisode 4 entre Waii et Apo.

Ah oui, à noter qu'à partir d'un moment j'ai fini par regarder les épisodes en accéléré, en ralentissant pour suivre les dialogues, mais l’intérêt n'étant presque plus présent, j'ai voulu achever le supplice.

Voilà, si vous avez réussi à me supporter jusque là, vous voyez maintenant le fond de ma pensée concernant cette série. Je ne vous conseillerais pas de faire l'impasse dessus pour tous ses points positifs mais je dois avouer que j'ai grandement préféré le film (à voir ma critique dessus ;) ). Je retiendrai de cette série les bonnes performances des acteurs, l'esprit de camaraderie qu'on y retrouve et l'inclusion dont il a su faire preuve.

Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

We all make mistakes.
But, when it pulls you down
That's where stupidity begins. - Episode 13

When you had watched several thai series, you will not find whose most charming actors and actresses, its the storyline that will be wow factor after all.. Beautiful faces does not fascinate you at all. Well, honestly, it's a plus point, but if your story is inferior, you will not be able to take it.

First episode, just a few minutes, I said, "What is that, how come a girl be in a swimming team who is purely male? I think that's the story all about. I killed my laptop and suddenly after few more minutes of reading reviews, i nodded and got back To watching the series.

This may be your series that makes me tired of watching. each character has a side story. It has been sewing so much. But I think it's part of the storyline, telling the viewers that everyone's part of every person. A man can not stand on his own without the help of other person. Perhaps it is also a moral of the series.

In the Philippines, 'suicide is not the case because of many gossipers, so even a neighbor's brother, knows. In Thailand, 'not so. If you're not interested, you will not notice. They have their own life. When you do not come close, you have no friends. But this series tells a different perspective, unity. I'm wrong to say that they have their own lives because the Thai ones, at first it was silent, at first unobtrusive. But when they know you better, whether you like it or not, you'll be someone's friend. Your gestures are just like your eyebrows, just keep quiet, they know that something is wrong or something else. Make them friends, friendship, deeper, just like water. If they are not, they will not be too busy if there is no solid evidence.

"It does not matter where other people might be happy for yoy. What's important is what makes you happy."

It ended up well and I feel Season 2 is just like other series. Speechless but many are said. Kudos!

Water Boyy A Heart Felt Comedy .

A Great COMEDY with romance, plenty of comedic action but, where was there a school that never had there comedic moments, school is all about finding yourself, and the self exploration that comes with being in a constant search for knowledge and acceptance, everyone try's to fit in,
the actors are all young and willing to take things to the next level. all the while doing there best to get there school grades up, I must admit that the school aspect is quite lacking and a lot happens outdoors mostly around the swimming pool. This drama is mostly leaning on the BL side of the characters, If you are looking for a serious school drama with more drama than swimming you should seriously consider passing this one by and prevent yourself the heart ache of being disappointed from the get go. But that said I would totally recommend this slick comedy to put you in a happy frame of mind for the duration of the series.

When a show has *basically* everything and still fails

This show had potential, but 14 episodes of build up end up taking you nowhere.

New and Earth don’t really have that much romantic chemistry, but I think the pairing somewhat worked. The other pairs, not that much. I really don’t understand the idea behind Pan’s story. Having a strong lesbian character was one of the strongest aspects of this show, but in the end she gets a rushed ending with Fah?! Wan and Min’s story was a circle of repetition. The new couch plot line was very bad. And what’s up with the high school and college relationships on this show?!

I understand that there’s been some time since Kan and Tee relationship became “public”, but I feel like people don’t seem to understand how problematic it was and see Waii’s reasoning. I know this show came out in 2017, but the “half of the couple decides to spend 1 year abroad our or nowhere in the last episode” is a lazy plot device. Besides the travel cliche we all get the coward main character that spends 14 episodes unable to break up with the girlfriend + the villain girlfriend in a BL.

If the actors were really bad I wouldn’t mind it too much, but this cast had so much potential! To be fair, New and Earth got better in other projects, but people like White, Piglet and Victor were actually good here.
