Roop Thong (2018)

Creo que de todo lo que he visto dentro del BL, esta historia es sin duda de lo peor que me he encontrado en la forma de tratar a los personajes gays. Los hace ver cobardes, mezquinos, manipuladores e incluso con tendenciass homicidas. ¿En serio?
La forma de reaccionar de los padres al enterarse de que sus hijos sean homosexuales o tengan algún tipo de relación con alguién que lo sea, es verdaderamente repugnante. Como pueden hacer apología del maltrato físico a hijos y mujeres con la simple justificación de que alguien es gay y quedarse tan tranquilos al respecto.

La música está mal insertada, escenas en las que deberia haber música alegre, por el contexto y la ubicación, con música triste de fondo en la que parece que estas viendo un funeral y todo esto para darle dramatismo a una situación en la que, casi siempre, alguien está conspirando para ver que daño le puede hacer a otro.

En la familia no todo vale, no. Ese concepto ademas de rancio está ya muy anticuado, no hay quién soporte este tipo de situaciones y siga una vez y otra recibiendo mierda, pensando que algún dia esta situación va a cambiar. El personaje de la madre no podría ser mas desagradable, echando la culpa de sus actos a sus propios hijos y su marido, sin ninguna capacidad autocrítica, llegando a extremos dificiles de entender por el que dirán, la abuela más de lo mismo, el hijo menor basicamente un cobarde (solo por el hecho de ser gay, claro. Por que todos sabemos que los gays son cobardes "Notesé la ironia, por favor") y que es gay por que como ha vivido en una casa llena de mujeres y no ha tenido un referente masculino de pronto se vuelve homosexual, como si uno decidiera un dia en volverse gay así por las buenas. El hermano mayor dando bandazos de un lado a otro en las que a veces parece que es comprensivo y tolerante y acto seguido te suelta una burrada de lo mas homofoba. Y la tia sumisa, ejerciendo el papel de esclava de su madre y hermana. ¿Pero que familia es esta?

Ufff, es que no hay por donde pillarlo, de verdad. Un culebrón al puro estilo "Falcon Crest" pero tratado desde un punto de vista en el que siempre se hace ver al personaje gay como lo peor. En serio, no la volvería a ver ni aunque me pagaran y creo que acabé de verla por el simple motivo de poder escribir esta reseña.

This series tackles a lot of life lessons that we must value each day, that we must live beyond our purpose. We should never hand pick the lessons of life, but to take it as a whole. This is heavy drama, the setting is not the usual BL dramas that we see recently. Not even a single shadow of couple of dramas like 2gether, Until we meet again, Love by Chance, TharnType and a lot of more to mention. This is the story of Seua, an excellent bachelor in eyes of many women, bound to realize that in the end that his feeling towards his bestfriend Rob, grow into a bliss of love that will soon change the wheel of his fate. This is a story of self acceptance and self discovery, it shows a lot of adversity in facing your true self and realizing that you are not you, in your most comfortable form. It may sound cliché, but if you find your true self and accept yourself for who you are, it will also seek true happiness and fulfillment. The series teaches a lot of lessons in Family, that blood is thicker than water, love of family is timeless and beyond limits, even the strongest storm can never defeat it's form and essence. It also teaches that decisions made in life must be firm and if it's not right, we should accept it consequences. It is also highlighted that revenge and hatred will never reign, it will let you feel victory, but in the end it will be the reason of your downfall. This series really got me, I was literally squealing in my seat while watching, it will really release your adrenaline and will not let your mind to be calm. As it's moments of thrill and excitement is always evident in every episode. It's impact will let you loose in a way you'll get hooked up. There are no dull moments. The twists were really hard, it was really a tasteful take over. I really love the storyline how the story flows and all it's conclusion was a perfect score for me. The storyline is really unique (Pinagisipan talaga ng husto, at naiba sa ibang BL na napanood ko). I love how raw the meanings are presented in a very timely manner, just right for each episode. I really just love the depth of the series itself, it's really dark, but the meaning of all is really shallow like what we see in real life. The adversity of each characters are shown, their weakness and how they surpass each's downfall that they experienced. I love the acting, the acting is in another level. Toy Pathompong played really well with the character of Seua. (Lit eral, sa series na to all eyes ka kay Seua, (hindi lang dahil gwapo siya) but you'll see how he handles every decision he has ever made and all eyes ka talaga, kasi maiirita ka ng big time hahaha). Pangpond Akalavut, was great as well ( as Rob), I can really feel his pain in every episode and how he handles it and able to still love Seua (eventhough napaka bwesit talaga ng decision making niya) and how he understands Seua, is really love in it's purest form. Mayura Sawetsila was really the star of the show she played well as Seua's Mother (Amber), (all eyes ka din sa baklang to mamsh, kasi sa bukod tanging nagmana ata to sa demonyo si bakla. Lahat gagawin para sa anak, pero di naman sa ayos at pangalan lang at estado ng buhay ang palaging iniisip). Punpun Sutatta as Riawkhao was amazing as well, (kung naiinis kayo kay Pam sa 2gether mas maiirita kayo dito, demonya din kasi tong baklang to. At lumalaban pa). She is Seua's girlfriend in this series and she tried to make Seua straight (cringy ng ways niya mga mamsh, sasabihin niyo masarap siyang sabunutan). Dan Worrawech as P'Moo as Seua's older brother really is another stellar performance (eto naman yung kuya ni Seua, matutuwa naman kayo dito kasi he encourages Seua to be himself and to follow his happiness. Maraming mailalahad na life lessons tong si P'Moo na surely you can absorb all. Kasi he was good at giving advices kay Seua and helping him decide what to do. Sa una medyo maiirita kayo, pero he has purpose naman on why). Really, this series is a heck of a roller coaster ride, it will wake your soul up and you will never miss another episode (pero eto based sakin di ko siya kayang isang bagsakan na panonood, kasi sumasakit ulo ko sa mga pangyayare, sobrang intense yung tipong kulang nalang itapon ko laptop ko sa sobrang inis kay Seua at sa mga maling moves at decision niya sa buhay, pati sa Bruhang nanay niya at sa Girlfriend niya na ubod ng kademonyohan, hahaha. *you'll get me once mapanood niyo). The only problem of this series is it's availability, I kept searching for this series in Eng Subs and contacted the actors as well (yes, ganyan ako. Anlala diba? Haha) that they should release an eng subbed series. First I watched it in Youtube there is Eng subs only at first 3 episodes. I still kept looking for it and it happened I have found the Eng Sub Series subbed by one and only GCINEE and it was literally a dream come true! (Sharing the link later for all of you to watch).(Disclaimer: nakacut yung ibang scenes sa series, di talaga siya full and okay naman kasi they kept the important parts and the highlight ng mismong series, pero okay lang kasi ang hirap mag sub guys at independent subbers lang ang GCINEE. So quite understandable talaga). That is the only problem I encountered. Nothing more nothing less. I highly suggest this! A strong suggestion! This will change the way how you see series that are made in Thailand! Really an astounding work of art! This series needs some attention, the work that was poured in this series is really showing and it needs to be seen all around the world!
