Twins (2023)

Bem básico mas divertido de acompanhar

Já conhecia Twins antes do lançamento e não esperava mt da série, e apesar de ter uma atuação bem meia boca e uma direção não muito boa, foi divertido de assistir!
O enredo é bem divertido, e apesar dos diversos pontos negativos eu gostei bastante de acompanhar os lançamentos de cada ep.
Eu como uma vôlei fã, achei que eles abordaram o vôlei de forma bem trivial, mas que não me incomodou tanto.
O enredo de gêmeos que trocam de lugar foi bem legal e diferente. O casal principal são mt queridos, gostei de acompanhar a jornada dos dois.

Por fim, é uma série bem básica msm, um bl bom pra quem só que distrair e assistir uma coisa mais variada.
Apesar de ter dado uma não tão boa por conta dos vários problemas, foi um bl que eu não esperava nada e por fim acabei me divertindo assistindo.

what a surprise?

I did not like Zee character from episode 1 until the end. How nonchalant was he when he told Sprite that First saw him hugging Salmon and First was nagging. Nagging?!!!?! I did not want to see him after that on my screen. They gave his character no growth whatsoever! I was waiting on the back story to wheel me in to like him and Nothing!!!! He maintained his selfishness and jerk-ness(made that up) until the end!

What about Mom? What was that? When did she get in The Great parents club? A dinner with the family. Glad she was able to bring literally herself as father states that he bought the food! Oh that dinner, i bet that little bit of sanity left that it was Sprite’s idea. Zee is definitely too selfish to come up with that.

Sprite and First were the only reason i watched. Wish they had more time. That forgiveness and let’s be boyfriends was way too quick. Oh well, they ended up together.

Would i recommend? Yes❤

It’s okay

At first I was just watching this to fill up my time. The plot was either too slow or too fast at certain parts. It was hard to tell which twin it was at some parts. I was trying to consider what was different about their personalities while I was watching this and when I was sure which twin it was, it wasn’t and that was kinda frustrating. There was many plot holes and I didn’t even know what was going on through some of the story lol. It was SOOOO frustrating to watch First give Sprite so many chances to explain that I had to stop watching it and come back to it later because it was getting annoying.
A lot of things are unnecessary and could be easily cut out
Overall would I recommend this, maybe?

Eu particularmente já não sou muito fã de histórias que envolvem esporte porém só assisti até o fim porque os atores tem lá o seu carisma, esticaram ao máximo um plot, batido chato e sem sentido de troca de gêmeos nada que todos já não tenham visto várias vezes por aí enrolaram ao máximo para contar para o First e quando contou aconteceu o que? nada, aí me pergunto enrolou tanto para que? e no fim óbvio que várias pontas soltas.
espero que esse canal invista em roteiros melhores nas próximas porque por incrível que pareça até que teve adesão de muitas pessoas.

Uma versão barata de Not Me

Não é uma série boa, mas é aquele tipo de série que você só desliga o cérebro e aproveita porque se começar a pensar muito o negócio desanda.

Os atores são todos muito carismáticos e a história tem um ritmo interessante que não te deixa entediado e todas as interações do Sprite com o First são o que realmente funcionam nessa série.

Mas o roteiro é uma bagunça e isso vai ficando evidente com os episódios. É uma série muito crua e não existe nuance, não existe construção e tampouco desenvolvimento. Os tópicos são jogados em cena e resolvidos com uma facilidade que não me agrada.

E esse é o problema. Falta de desenvolvimento, excesso de personagens e tramas que não acrescentam nada e um roteiro cheiro de furos e conveniências. Só um exemplo aqui: Sprite e Zee são ambos estudantes, mas a gente nunca vê eles na faculdade e nunca há qualquer menção sobre como o Sprite consegue acompanhar as aulas dos dois. É algo irrelante pra trama, mas serve para mostrar o nível de descomprometimento com a história.

O casal secundário mal tem tempo de tela ou construção. O terceiro casal só existe porque eles queriam cenas de dois homens sem camisa se beijando. Toda a traição do Ko, o drama com as fãs do Zee e o vazamento da foto com a Salmon, o pai alcoólatra do Jack, a mãe doente do Tom, a briga com o Tong, os problemas familiares do Zee e Sprite NADA disso é desenvolvido ou tem qualquer impacto na trama. E eles simplesmente jogam isso e depois resolvem de qualquer forma e ta tudo certo.

É uma série que funcionaria se não se levasse tão a sério. Mas com um roteiro péssimo e uma história que enrola até o último minuto com os personagens tomando uma decisão mais burra que a outra, fica difícil de defender. Começa muito bem e divertida, mas se perde totalmente na reta final.

Good Series; Really Lousy Script

The allegory behind this theme is fascinating. Its screenplay is where it fell flat. If they had followed the initiative of the story, the saga would have been a way more compelling BL. Instead, it became spasmodic. The receptivity behind this story is very good; the screenwriting is simply awful. Frankly despite its awful screenplay, this is well acted, and the actors and actresses did the best they could with a lousy script. This series is deeper than what it is given credit for. It gets lost in the endless and totally unnecessary cat-and-mouse, ‘enemies-to-lovers’ fiasco. Thai BLs absolutely need to get out of the rut of being formulaic. This series was a shameful waste. This was good; it just was not great. But it could have been.

☙〠 IT IS WHAT IT IS...( IT IS WHAT IT IS...) 〠❧

I think the premise plot is really interesting.
For those who have seen Not me the series as me, I thought that they handled very well the edition and passage, from one twin to another; At the very beginning it was clear, somehow in the middle, it got a little confused but still understandable;

I liked ⚡︎TenTuss⚡︎ couple, the one that played Mike and Jack ( volleyball captain),their chemistry was top knot , I'm shocked that they DON'T ENDED UP TOGETHER !!! When nothing made sense they were there for us, delivering ... I enjoyed every moment they got screen time, it's not easy to a side couple BE WANTED THAT BAD,(at least for me)!!!!

Can't pass without mentioning that I loved, how they symbolically brought the puzzle between the siblings, showing their understanding, care, forgiveness and new beginning;

Overall, it was a good show, focusing on their sportive life, what I really appreciated, but I think there's still room for improvement :

With 12 episodes I can't understand how:
The twins, Salmon and First's characters were light and without further development;

⇧ Starting by the twins - Once they switched places and have to live each other lives, I was expecting to see P'Zee making efforts to talk nice with his teammates, and to better himself before starting pursuing Salmon. And HE HAD THE CHANCE TO DO THAT having Thun, Sprite's friend the most sociable and trustworthy person, so HOW COME...

⇧ Then we have P'Sprite, he seemed to be the cool, chill and carefree version of P'Zee. So it was predictable that when the time comes, that he realised that he fell in love, he W-O-U-L-D undoubtedly confess his love AND tell the true about his identity because he is the twin that "ruins everything", according to P'Zee's optic.
How-e-ver, he's unable to tell P'First the truth from the 7th episode that he realised his feelings, so that means that he passed half of the show without telling the truth; I just think that his actions doesn't match with the image they transmitted on viewer's spirit, and he had another opportunity on 9th episode, at the mall , but it was clear for me that he wasn't bothered by being called by someone else's name(☀︎)... In brief, he doesn't even put an effort even to say a metaphor, or potential clues;
And despite the fact, that I liked Sprite's character the most,=(I swear to you guys that I liked his character the most)=, with all his flaws, I think that he needed to suffer more, because he sustained a big lie, he was easily forgiven ,but with one episode left what was I really expecting ?

⇧ Salmon...(uhhh), she seemed to have a crush on P'Sprite, maybe that started because of their identical physical appearance but then, when she got to know him, she liked how approachable he(P'Sprite), made people be around him, although she gave me the impression of being a little selfish. I hoped that the friendship that grew up between Sprite and her, would have some impact on the story, but she acted as an outsider;

⇧ And P'First... he had multiple chances to investigate "P'Zee", especially at the start when he don't knew his intentions; why he didn't follow "P'Zee" around when he sneaked out the dormitory, to know what he was doing ??? When "P'Zee" was talking on the phone why he doesn't gather more informations and was hot-tempered ?? At the mall, he saw his partner's reaction plus the warm/cold treatment he received ; From one side or another I hoped that the truth was find sooner;But do I really care about these details ? N-OOOO,I still enjoyed the show though ♥︎♡

✬At the end, no matter how many options I had on mind... ☙IT IS WHAT IT IS ❧

An Unsavory Ending

Look as much as I love my boys interactions and whatnot that ending has me a bit sour in the mouth.

Like adding the scene of the friends ganging up on the sister without any resolution for her felt like such an annoyance, cause now I personally NEED to see her go through her own resolution of finding actual better friends and those two girl get their karma.

Plus the fact that we don't get a moment of the twins together with their partners in a group interaction kinda bugged me as well cause not even an apology or something to better clear the air.

And the whole "I like what we flhave now, you're my best friend but I could not see you as anything other than friends" by Jack made me wanna fight.

Sam really is my light and soul and the whole bright reason to be happy. Coulda got more TanSam scenes but I'm happy with it.

The national team picks with little to no cheering up or celebration for either of sides that did and did not get picked just felt more like at "well why did I have to see this"

FirstSprite scene on the court was cute and all but that moment of them laughing was too long and felt forced at that point.

Zee and his girl scene seemed a little outta place and could a been a good moment for FirstZee to happen to walk by and show up but they didn't and it was just welp.

The drugged out "I miss Koh" moment was also a little filler based feeling.

Lack of development for many characters has me feeling a little bugged by it.

Overall last episode could have been maintained differently to feel like a happy ending cause four pivotal moments made me feel it needs more.

i don’t know why but i’m gonna continue it

I have very mixed feelings about this series. First episode was quite boring, second and third episodes were definitely better, although not perfect at all. In general, the story is not original, slow-paced and not credible. The actors are clearly trying their best, and I saw that for many of them it’s the first acting project, so not terrible to be the first time, they definitely have time to improve. In spite of everything I’ve said so far, there’s something that is making me want to continue it, at the moment at least, probably some sparks of chemistry between the main characters (it’s not great, but it’s okay, I think it will get better in the next episodes), and I’m quite interested in what could possibly happen in the story. Or maybe I just need something to watch on Fridays, lol.
I wouldn’t exactly recommend, but you can give it a try and see if you like it, which I think it’s possible if you like the enemies to lovers trope (and if you lower your expectations).
