first off, i wanna say how refreshing it is…

first off, i wanna say how refreshing it is to see actors/actresses i've never seen before playing in this drama. obviously, with familiar actors comes comfort and fondness, but i liked seeing new people that i've never seen before. like all other dramas, the first episode doesn't really tell me anything other than the fact that Jom was cheated on and that he traveled to the past. it was kinda sad to see how many bad things happened to him in the span of the latter half of the episode. BUT, i just wanna put it out there that you should never drink and drive. just don't. i mean if you wanna off yourself then go right ahead, but don't sit behind the wheel if you know you're intoxicated and risk killing other people too. it was so annoying to me to see how reckless Jom was, driving drunk, but also looking at his phone. like, boy? do you wanna die? nevertheless, this was still a pretty good first episode and i will continue watching? funny side note, i was wondering why the guy that finds him passed out didn't have any chemistry with Jom because i literally thought they were the couple. i was getting disappointed but on the verge of that disappointment the writers hit you with a "surprise, bitch!" and actually shows the other main character. and phew, they definitely have chemistry with each other!

Awalnya memang agak slow banget, tapi...

Episode kali ini diawali dengan nuansa horror yang menurutku tidak krusial, maksudku scene misterinya memang perlu untuk cerita ; tapi membuatnya horror malah akan membuat beberapa penonton menjadi kesal, dan berhenti menonton ; tetapi itu hanya soal selera. Dari segi warna, menurutku sangat bagus ya, nuansa tradisionalnya dapet banget, pallete warna yang cocok. Dari pencahayaan, terlalu overlow exposed ya menurutku, beberapa scene terlihat terlalu gelap sehingga tidak bisa ditampilkan dibeberapa layar monitor dengan akurat, tapi ini tidak terlalu mengganggu dan tidak terlalu diperhitungkan karena durasinya hanya sebentar. Ada beberapa CGI yang menurutku agak kurang realistik ya, masih banyak jejak CGI digitalnya, sangat disayangkan. Dari segi dialog dan alur, diawal memang agak minim dialog sehingga terasa membosankan, namun setelah berjalannya waktu, dialognya mulai melimpah dan mudah difahami, alurnya jelas walaupun di episode kali ini agak lambat menurutku ya, banyak sekali scene-scene yang menampilkan "just visual art" gt. Vibes malam hari di series ini fantastik banget, apalagi dipadu dengan scene di dalam air yang saya sangat suka, sangat realistik dan penuh romansa. Latar belakang cerita di episode kali ini menurutku belum jelas ; ada beberapa scene membuatku merasa gregetan aja gt, terutama ketika Jom menanyakan tentang ponsel, dan beberapa scene dimana Jom "masa" masih belum sadar tentang apa yang sebenarnya dia alami. Dari segi penokohan, menurutku sangat bagus ya, series memilih aktor dengan pola wajah yang mudah diingat. Saya akan melanjutkan series ini besok.

A promising series with a strong start

As a reader of the books, my biggest fear is how they would adapt the book into the show when they it took the author 30% through the the book before Khun Yai and Jom first meet when Yai saves from the water. But boy did the screenwriting team pulled through and made a LOT of positive modifications so the introduction is still intriguing without feeling redundant or feeling like there's a lack of interactions between the two male leads. Huge kudos to the director and screenwriters!I love the immaculate details like the use of local accents and dialects. Nonkul's micro facial expressions are superb and the transitions between the past/present scenes with his ex is done so smooth. I was floored and I AM PAINED!

Set in the early 1900s with Gay Leads / Time Travel

To me, this is a Lakorn ( Thai drama ) with gay leads..This episode went straight to business; introduced the main characters. And I'd say it's likely not one of those series you watch in a rush or get it over with . Not your usual BLs i dare say.. I was actually engaged in every scene and enjoyed watching the episode one. The SFX in the water at the accident scene was good.I shouldn't say more not to spoil it but its a great start and i was left wanting more at the end of the first episode. From when i saw the trailer, i looked forward to this drama.. Glad episode one did not dissappoint.. So, fingers crossed ...
