Even Sun Series (2022)

Great potential, but it's too short

The story is interesting. I have seen other series where we have debtors and creditors, but never as the main couple. So, it was quite an original storyline. I do wish it was longer though, especially as the ending seem very sudden and rushed. The location was absolutely stunning and the OST was very catching. The BTS clips were cute and funny as well.

I really enjoyed the sound effects whenever Sun (Prem) did something silly. It really made me focus on what is he going to mess up at that time. I absolutely loved the color scheme of Athit’s (Boun’s) clothes in the series as well. The beachy vibes and colors fit him incredibly well. And Prem rocked the orange hair!

I swear that whoever decided to put Prem into the role of a wanna-be tough guy deserves a raise. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I always see Prem as a cutie, no bad boy vibes. So, seeing him in such role was interesting. I absolutely loved how they made him the absolute worst debt collector who is scared of the debtors, ghosts and cockroaches. It was an interesting combination of traits that he pulled of incredibly well.

Athit was interesting as well. At first, I thought he is very serious and responsible, someone who has no time for fun. But then he played Sun, tricked him into his trap, and we got to see a more mischievous and free spirited side of him that I enjoyed as well.

I am a sucker for side couples, but I wish there would be less of a focus on them through the series. It’s already quite short, so having so much time spent on the side couples was a bit annoying as it ate into the screentime of Athit and Sun. Which might also why I find the ending very rushed and making very little sense.

Half Baked

Amazing environment and great cinematography.
Music was really nice as well.

I think the downfall of this series was the execution of the plot.

The plot in itself is interesting and it could've worked well had the details been fleshed out a bit more and given a bit more love to really get the audience invested in it. Given the fact that this was a 6 episode series, they tried to fit too many side characters and stories in and were were not able to establish the main characters well.

Casting was great but they could've done more with BounPrem.
I felt detached from the characters up until the last episode and the sudden escalation in the relationship felt our of place. :(

I wish I could give a better review because I love this pairing but unfortunately this series felt a bit half baked.

This made me smirk guaranteed every episode

At first I was like "Okay I have no idea what the hell I'm watching" but right after the first episode they got me.
I guess you either love or hate this type of style - I've loved it.
All the kinda over the top things, with the sound effects and the acting of everyone. Just such a feelgood series.
Yep, and I have to say now I also wanna travel to Thailand, because, come on, how freaking beautiful is it there?

If you wanna watch something serious or realistic or something, ...this maybe not the right thing for you.
But if you just wanna watch a cute, fun thai show this is your go to.

BounPrem Flops in First Leading Roles

Between Us is really gonna make or break them because they have yet to give us a leading role.. and I hope it delivers cause this is one of the worse BL's ever coming from a bl powercouple.. right next to thats my candy from kim and copter.
despite them being extremely popular BounPrem have not yet proven they can successfully lead a show and EvenSun being their first leading role together isn't a good sign. I must say the shining stars of this show was the boxing couple.. their chemistry was electric and I look forward to seeing Lee with Frank in Love Syndrome the series. These two in that bedroom scene their eyes were telling the entire story and it's so far my favorite part of the entire series.. also Justice for Nemo and his lack of screentime.

I love it

As a bounprem fan it was amazing for what it is, this was made to be a fun goofy story with the love story as a bonus for the fans as we wait for between us, it wasn't made to be some epic love story just something to watch and get a laugh with a added love story, Watching boun try to be cold tp prem was amazing cause if your a fan you know he could never be that cold to him.

finding out Arthid father and sun's fathers were best friends was shocking but the way it was hinted at made it have that rewatch value I love, them adding in suns hair color as a story plot cause Prem show up with the hair color not telling anyone he was dying it to give Sun a chance to stand out from other character's he play was more than I could ask for.

Over all I didn't find anything confusing like other are saying and I loved that Arthid and Sun had this fighting and flirting at the same time thing going on.

Very Convoluted

I basically watched this drama for 2 reasons:
1. it's only 6 episodes long so if I don't like it I won't feel like I've wasted much of my time
2. Boun + Prem are the main characters.

I think this drama had a lot of potential, the overall premise is pretty good but the execution was off. There are too many characters and plot points and not enough time to explore them all. It feels like some of them were forced in for no reason, and their existence has no influence on the overall plot, you could take them out and nothing would change. By episode 3 I just started skipping through their parts because I actually had no attachment to them and felt like their existence was just there to bulk out the run time, which makes no sense when you're only making the drama 6 episodes long.

The writing is also kinda cringe, I had to pause a lot. I know it's not meant to be an ultra-serious drama, but apart from that it doesn't actually seem to know what it wants to be.

I wouldn't in good conscience recommend this show to anyone, but I don't regret watching it. However, I don't think it has much rewatch value, if any at all.

It could have been a different series from the others but…

Boun and Prem are my favourite couple (besides First and Khao) but from this serie i expected a lot more. The plot could have been innovative, a new and different story but it was poorly developed and i couldnt’ understand many topics.. There’s a love triangle between Thai, Mangkorn and Ashing? Thai spoke with Mek about a relationship, about his feelings but then? Mangkorn and Ashing become intimate and Thai did nothing. Was it just me imagining him talking about a relationship?
Another thing i didn’t understand is the story between Sun and Athit.. in the 5th episode they argued all the time, sun wanted to escape but a simple kiss change everything? How it’s possible? How it’s possible that from one episode to another Sun and Athit end up falling in love and declare they are in a relationship? But above all: what does the story of the two of them as children have to do with it? They didn't mention it but it could have been a nice thing. I also didn't like the scene where san gets tied up and drugged.. why? That’s awful..

Despite all these negative sides I really appreciated the acting skills of the actors, I loved the chemistry and the looks between Mangkorn and Ashing and also of Sun and Athit.. probably if there were more episodes the series would have could develop differently. Special mention to the island they shot on, it was very beautiful.
