Till the World Ends (2022)

Not gonna lie, it's so far the weirdest show I've ever watched

but I enjoyed it!
It is (for sure) a uniqe plot and I've never seen (or read) anything even just slightly similar to this one.
Firstly, I'd like to talk about the acting. Everyone did an amazing job, every emotion was spot on!
Second of all, I'd like to mention how beautifully each episode and each scene was shot. The visuals, the cinematography gave back everything perfectly.
Lastly, I'd like to thank to the director. You made an amazing job. You are really good at what you do and you KNOW what you do. Big respect. I worked as an actress and I am really picky and judgy when it comes to shows, so when I say someone did an amazing job, I mean it. :)

конец открыт

Начала смотреть и была безумно рада возвращению и активной красивой игре Арта. Все бы ничего в этом во всем сюжете, но при просмотре из кадра в кадр создается больше вопросов, чем находится ответов. Эротические сцены были да, живые, поцелуи насыщенные, но сюжет же не об этом, а создалось впечатление все людской оргии чтобы успеть до конца света. Люди, что в бункере и что на улице друг от друга ни чем не отличались, те же мародёры и убийцы. Зачем нужно было столько крови добавлять в сюжет, где весь сюжет и так трагедия. Единственное, именно единственная интересная история всего этого - это игра актеров. Все без исключения играли очень хорошо. Передача эмоций, игра лицом, передача чувств - потрясающая классная работа. все остальное не тронуло ни как. Ни сама история, не мир вокруг, не судьбы героев вокруг.

UGHHH AMAZING

honestly one of the best series i have watched. everything was done so beautifully and the story was amazing. I'm am in love this series had me sobbing tears of happiness and sadness. I fell in love with it overall. The acting was on point as well as the production. The story line was well written and this is the first Show I'm writing a review for because i really think it deserves all the support. Honestly please go watch and support the show it is 100% worth your time. the main couple were defiantly amazing but even the b couple slayed. They had a lovely cute relationship. One of my favourite characters has to be sis though because she was funny, sweet, supportive and kind. She was really their to support the boys when they needed it. Gus also did an amazing role and this series who not have been complete without him. He is the supportive brother we all need in our lives. The relationship between Gus and gold was actually heart touching. Art and Golf were def on another level all their expressions were on point and i think no one would have had chemistry like these two. UGHHHHH MY HEART I LOVE THIS BL> EVERYTHINHG EVEN THE HOT SECENES WERE DONE SO WELLLLLLL

Wasted potential

It had a great potential. A good idea turned into a boring pile. Actually, the first 5 episodes were really good. I loved the idea; 10 days before the world ends, one couple is falling in love with each other, and the other couple is trying to kill them... It sounds so good, but the finished work was not that good. Like I said, wasted potential.

THE STORY: The first couple, Golf and Art, met in a very unusual way. Golf literally hit him over the head with a guitar and then left the guitar in his room for THE WHOLE SHOW! What a psychopath. And he was supposed to be a doctor? Thank God the world ended before he had a chance to treat someone, lol. I don't believe they fell in love, I just can't. They had no chemistry!

CHARACTERS: They meet up with some interesting people while Golf is waiting for his brother to come back from prison. One morning, Golf dissapears (because that's a great thing to do if you're the only two people in the building) and leaves a note for Art to meet up with him on the rooftop. So Art goes there and has a "beautiful" breakfast on the rooftop with Golf in his SUIT and SUNGLASSES (he looked really funny). They were enjoying some expired sausages until someone else appeared on the rooftop with them... Hooray, it's the best actress in this show! I hope she won't die any time soon! I can't remember her name, but yeah, she was a good character.

But let's talk about someone who I totally loved. The gang that tried to kill our main group: Mike (dead in 3 minutes, lol), Joke, Long, and Long's sister. I absolutely loved Joke and Long. BL series always focuses on the uwu couples and never on the psycho couples (not counting TharnType). It's such a shame. They were awesome!!! Amazing chemistry, good schmex scenes... They were perfect. But then they fricking died!!!!!! I was so angry. What the hell.

ILLOGICAL THINGS: Welcome to a special part of my review where I'll share with you a list of illogical things that happened in the show. #1: Starting off strong, why is everyone doing it in the morning? Why not in the evening? That's only a start. #2: The biggest illogical thing was... the moon! I ain't no physicist, but it kinda doesn't make sense. A) GRAVITATION - the moon just can't fall on us. B) WHERE are all these bunkers? In the space? IF the moon will destroy everything on Earth, where are the people who took shelter? IF it was a small asteroid, it would make sense to take shelter somewhere on Earth, somewhere that the asteroid wouldn't fall, but the whole moon? What? WHERE ARE THEY? #3: How did the gang hear the gunshot if they weren't in the same building? #4: Why did Art marry a man who tried to kill him? #5: How did the psycho couple find the main couple so quickly? Yeah, I know Art left the ID there, but they took the same path as them. That's a big coincidence. #6: Yo, what? It was all a dream?

Overall, it was a very boring experience. I almost fell asleep once and then got woken up by a loud jumpscare. It could've been a lot better. Shame, shame...

Exceptional and Phenomenal

Sometimes, something comes along that completely moves you to rethink your life. And this is one of these programs that gets you to do that. It is an exceptional BL series that has a cast of characters that make you want to believe in love again. It is almost Shakespearean in design and forces you to think about your own mortality. Not all of the cast of characters are good but this series forces you to redefine how you might see 'bad' people. The story seems mundane in the beginning but it goes to new heights and its journey to the end is so real. Yet, it ends in love.

Drama of the highest quality in many ways

A work that is very tense to watch, a storyline that is enough to make emotions go up and down. This is suitable for those of you who want to watch BL dramas with the best cinematographic quality and special storylines.

The actors in this drama are very convincing and do not disappoint, the way they play their respective roles is very good. Here I really like the roles of Golf, Art, P'Gus, and Mam, they are They just put me in the mood. For the antagonist, the 3 people were very professional and made my emotions rise.

Talking about the cinematography, the transition from one scene to another is very smooth and not boring. They deserve an award for this.

Unexpected bonds

Obviously, the title told us what the story was about. It just didn't tell us how.

It was gory, violent, ridiculous, predictable, sweet and upsetting. It was sometimes unbearably slow and then the action would come in a burst. The action was sometimes crazy.

What would you do if you were told the world would be destroyed in 13 days? Would you go to the shelter or wait for your loved ones to go with you? Would it be OK to finally be who you really are?

We saw people's true colours: the gang was horrible and predictable and killing was going to happen because it was their opportunity to exert the tiny bit of power they had. Some of the killing was so awful, that I had to watch through my fingers! The young woman (Fai) was vile , but nothing happens in a vacuum. It was just who she was and the situation allowed her to be herself. Her cooking skills were almost too much! Her brother, Long, was calmer but couldn't/wouldn't let go of his anger.

Finding love in the most unlikely setting was also predictable. Art and Golf's relationship started badly (usual trope!) and continued badly. Then it didn't....it became sweet and a fantasy romance where they were shy and loving.

There was fun too - Gus and Sis Mam having a conversation with only their eyes was hilarious. Gus appearing every time that Art and Golf tried to get close made me laugh out loud.

What I liked: some of the characters were brilliant and hadso much wisdom. Sis Mam went from seeming to be a laughable and crazy older woman to be being a wise and thoughtful friend. Her understanding of friendship was beautiful: sharing, reminding them to look out for each other, understanding that promises can mean something, understanding that life is short.

Gus was such a wise and protective brother. His deep beliefs spread through whatever he did: protecting his family (in the broadest sense) and that included his country.

Overall, the acting was superb: vile characters were really vile. The nervousness of new, surprising love was shown. The need to share and bond was there too. So good.

What I didn't like: for the love of God, someone needed to stop Art from crying.

I don't think it's one of the well known BL dramas, but it should be!

hin und her gerissen

Eine etwas übertriebene Story, die leider auch sehr unrealistisch ausgeführt ist. Beim bevorstehenden Weltuntergang funktionert weiterhin die Strom- und Wasserversorgung, nur der Rest funktioniert nicht mehr. Es gibt diverse Bunker, in denen fast die gesamte Bevölkerung Platz findet.... nun ja.
Es gibt aber auch durchaus gut durchdachte Teile der Story, die einem solchen Szenario und den damit verbundenen Folgen durchaus nahe kommen könnten.
Die Schauspieler machen ihren Job durchaus gut und die Hauptakteure haben eine sehr gute Chemie. Einige Szenen sind doch etwas fragwürdig und passen nicht immer zum Rest der Handlung.
Fazit: Ich habe die Serie ganz gern geschaut wegen der Beiden! Den Rest, naja. Auch die Brutalität an einigen Stellen hätte nicht sein müssen. Da wäre auf jeden Fall noch ordentlich Potenzial gewesen.

What did I just watch?

This is honestly the first time ever that I wondered what I just watched. This BL wants to be more than it could ever be with the limits of budget, acting and time.

I'm sure there was a vision here, but what it was got totally lost. And as a consequence so did I.

The theme is very interesting: the end of the world due to the moon crashing into the earth a few days from the start of the series. A few people who couldn't get to the bunkers remain to fend for themselves in a doomed world.

This interesting starting point is shot off without any clear direction. Is it a tear fest? Many emotional scenes, deaths of loved ones, misunderstandings... A gore fest? So so much violence and bloody stuff. Not always functional to the story. Some violence and death seem completely unnecessary and only meant for effect. It has the opposite. A f*ck fest? There's a lot, and not from the main couple. Another case of effect chasing.

All this energy should have gone to telling a consistent and compelling story. There are only sparks of what could have been.

What is good: The relationship build up. The brother. The lovely Sis Mam.

What is bad: lack of clear motivation for some actions. For example: why would you stop someone from leaving when you just decided to let them go? Also weird plot parts. The world ending kind of defeats seeking shelter, even in a bunker. Why don't they ever worry about their parents. The lack of anxiety over the world actually ending. The science of the moon crashing does not add up. I could go on and on.

This should have been given much more thought, attention and budget for it to become a good show. They wanted more than they could deliver and that's a shame

Ambitious and on a limited budget, still manages exactly what it sets out to do!

"Till the world ends" was an extremely ambitious project that, despite a limited budget, really landed on its feet in the end. I'll split this review into the categories MDL gives (apart from rewatch value, because I just don't do that).

STORY: 8/10. I am a big fan of the apocalypse/dystopia genre, so it was really refreshing to see! Without any immediately obvious plotholes, it's a wild ride that follows a cast of easy-to-love characters. Once you look a bit deeper though, it becomes clear that (I think partly due to the limited runtime) characterization took a little bit of a backseat on this one. The relationships between the characters are written really well and are easy to recognize and empathize with. But individual characters' thinking was a bit more unclear to me. The ways in which most of them made decisions and were flipflopping between options so easily was a bit annoying. But I can write it off as: "These guys are about to die in the literal apocalypse, so I think I can forgive them."

ACTING: 9.5/10. I want to congratulate the whole team that worked on this series with the result, but especially the actors really knocked it out of the park. Despite the aforementioned flawed characterization, the cast was able to portray some actually real and human-feeling people here. I was especially impressed by Best and Michael, who really made me choke up at some times. Being able to empathize with the characters is so essential to one's enjoyment of a show, and the cast absolutely made that possible. The emoting this cast did... I'm really impressed.

MUSIC (+effects): 7/10. There was an obvious limit to the OST used, but I think the choice for mainly instrumentals was a really good one. Those were atmospheric and whoever was responsible for editing these in, did a great job at using them to enhance, not distract. OSTs can be quite annoying if it's the same one or two vocal songs over and over again, so using mainly these instrumental ones made it more lowkey, which works really well for a suspense-focused series. Speaking of suspense: I am sO impressed by the special effects. It's often one of the first things to cut down on when on a budget, but it's obvious there was a story to be told that necessitated them, and they worked GREAT. Also, the moon was super pretty...

I think I forgave this series a lot of things that I wouldn't if this was another series. However, I do that because the team behind this one obviously had a clear idea and were passionate about it. "Till the world ends" is really unique in its field, and I think that's why it deserves to be given some slack.
