Make It Live: On The Beach (2019)

There is undeniably hardly any plot here, but it's possible to get what is going on and feel for the characters even if you have not watched the Make It Right series.

It seems to be a misstep to reveal that Tee's parents want him to break up with Fuse only in Episode 3, the main source of tension in Make It Live. However, the mood is nicely built from the start: as the couple spend tender moments together, there is a clear hint and sense of sadness that something may happen to break them up.

Some may find that there is simply too little plot and much of the episodes consist of dialogues between Fuse and Tee. Nevertheless, it is actually watchable enough as time is spend showing how much the characters care for each other. Intertitles revealing their thoughts are frequently inserted as a contrast to what the characters are saying, but I find that they are used a little too often and are sometimes unnecessarily.

The story does have a happy if somewhat abrupt ending, with Tee calling his mother and telling her that he will not break up with Fuse. There's no indication of whether he will gain his parents' acceptance, but the point is that he won't give in to his parents even if they don't accept his relationship.

With the characters now older and and having been through more in life, their relationship can actually be taken more seriously than in the two Make It Right series. If there ever is a Make It Right 3 that continues from Make It Live, it might actually be the best series of the lot.

I am still crying as i type this review haha. It was short, sweet, and emotional. MIR goes down as a Thai BL classic for me and it was amazing to see Tee and Fuse together again. Also great to see Fuse no longer being wishy washy. You could see so much improvement in Boom and Peak’s acting in MIR 2 and they have just continued to improve. I was ugly crying right along with Fuse in the last episode. They really scarred me i thought they were about to drive the ship off the cliff but it ended the only way that is acceptable. I just wish that Book and Frame got a cameo as a couple. If you’re looking for a quick fix see Why R U? Ep2 for a Tee/Fuse cameo. I love Boom and Peak and hope that somewhere down the line they’ll get to reprise these roles again with the whole MIR crew. Worth the watch and short enough to rewatch at least once if not a few times lol.
