Arranged marriage, poor woman, jealousy, family problems .. And everything that makes a good melo lakorn you can find in this drama. What make it worth watching? I really liked the way the story came together and the way the characters grew. Ma James did very well as Sattawat (since this is only his third drama) and it was great to watch the chemistry between him and Kimberley (no need to mention that she's an amazing actress with emotional eyes). She did a great job as Anusaniya: a rich heiress who believes that all the men who approachs her, only do this because of her father's money. The character I really enjoyed watching was Mirantee, it's really nice to see a beautiful friendship loyalful dramas ,, She was a good girl with a beautiful heart. The bad were good in their way, but sometimes they are really over the top (it seems normal to be really bad and mad at lakorns). The only thing I really disliked was that the main male protagonist sometimes acted very dumb, he kept making the same mistakes or being too nice ..
If you want to try something melo with a of fairytal love story, this isn't the drama for you. But if you want to try something that makes you think about family matters, or how much you can do for you loved ones (this being good or bad things) or how much can jealousy transform your life .. you can certainly give it a try.
Music: I really like the main leads theme song , but it was the only one that I liked and remember.
Rewatch value: I'll watch it again, not twice a week, but as maraton next time.

So, after spending the last 2 months watching it I'm finally ready to write my very first review. Beforehand I would like to ask for forgiveness if I make some mistakes.

Story: When I started to watch it, there was something like 4 episodes outs.. And I got hooked to it since it. Every episode is a catchy, and it looks likes the plot is coming more and more alive as the time pass [ I don't think you'll be bored in any episode! ] If you like mystery, drama, action with just a little bit of romance this is the drama for you.

Acting/Cast: First of all, I must say that I really enjoyed the characters of this drama: they're really well built and realistic. Jung Kyung Ho did so good on it; he had such a hard job with such intense character. He shone during all the drama for me. Lee Jae Yoon character can piss you off sometimes, but I do think he did a great job too. The female cast of this show was good, but I must say that Kim Yoo Mi stole all the scenes.

Music: I gave it a 10, because it's the first time that I become addicted with one OST.

Rewatch Value: Definitely worth to rewatch it and if possible to maraton.

Overall: You really should give this drama a opportunity. It's different from others dramas and more mature. You will not be wasting your time.

Okay, first of all: Hello guys! I decided to write this review after finishing this series and reading the one below. I can't just put in words how angry I got after reading that, so I decided to write my own view towards this series. Before I really start this I must say that I didn't read the novel, but I did do some researches about the storyline as the series was going. I will try not to spoil it so much, but it will have a lot of spoilers.
The first thing that caught my attention here was how they focused all the show in the development of the relationship between Tharn and Type. We did had some side characters, but the main focus was about Tharn and Type and that made a huge difference. If you think about it their story starts in a very harsh way, as Type starts the show assuming to be a homofobic and keep messing with Tharn to make him move out. But at the same time is really clear that Tharn is very sure and proud of his own sexuality so he choses to stay because he's not doing anything wrong. And that is the beginning of the drama. From there we begin to watch how much they will grow as people as they start to share the room and to share feelings.
Okay, I must agree that sometimes the directing was not done really well... but, come one!!! We are talking about a BL drama, and if we compare them with the one that were their predecessors they did it really, really well! This is a fast paced romance that don't spend too much time on fillers, like almost all of the dramas out there.
Going back to Tharn and Type, I would like to talk more about each of those characters. Tharn is the most caring type of person, and we can see through the whole drama that he is always putting himself in the other shoes. He does have a very strong personality and really knows what he wants, but he tries to get it by showing his good side and caring if the other person is or will be getting hurt. It's clear since the beginning why Type came to his attention, as from nothing this guy started to mess with him just because he was gay, and at the same time he was pushing and cursing Tharn away, he was also showing him his vulnerable side. I do believe that the more he got to know Type, the more he fell in love with him. I can really write a lot more of Tharn, since he is the most human character that I met through my BL drama life, but I don't wanna spoil everything about him and I do wish to get some people to watch this show and find those qualities by theirselves. So I will end this by saying that he is a very forbearing person.
Now let's talk about Type. Firstly I don't agree when I read people saying that he is a aggresive person, to me he is more like an imature and a person with really heavy issues. So now we all know what he went through during his childhood, and yes this is a very important characteristic of him. Because this bad experience made him look to the world with a very narrow mind point of view, and that's not a bad point of this drama... on the contrary: for me the real beginning of this drama was when he found himself trusting Tharn and confessing all his past to him. It was the moment that Type really began to come out of the bubble he was living and was the moment that he began to get to know his ownself. BUT, PLEASE WAIT BEFORE COMMING TO ME: I am not okay with him being violent towards Tharn, I am just saying that if we look at his character we can understand why he did it those times and we can ALWAYS see how regretfull he was everytime that happened.
I must say that after Ae, from LBC, I was not expecting to see too much of character growth in one BL drama, but Type changed the world and my mind to me. I love Tharn so much, but I love Type like hell. I can totally see myself when I was at Type's age, comming out and discovering our ownselves is the most hard thing to do. All the confusion, the storm of feelings, the decisions and how those decisions will make people look at you, everything is really hard to deal with when you are "okay" so imagine doing it with a trauma like Type's. Every person has his own time to come out (and I don't mean with just sexuality, we will come out from a lot of things during our life) and Type's began to be more confident in himself when he founds out Tharn. By finding out Tharn, I mean when he began to get to know Tharn and began to rely on him. And that my friends is when we can see that he starts to deal with his trauma, I don't know if what I am about to say is wrong ... but I do have some traumas in my 29 years old life and the easist way for me to deal with them was to share them with the people I love and trust. It was not easy at all, but when I did things began to become more liveable.
Before I can continue this review I must say that I don't see myself as a mature person, but as we grow older we start to see things from a different point of view. Meaning that I can totally understand what happened between them between the first 3 episodes and I don't understand why there is this much hate about what was happening, People seems to forget how is to be 18~19 years old, we are all impulsive and imature, Most of all would do the same or even worst. Point.
I don't think I can talk about their relationship without spoiling so much, but I can say that was a really good portrayal of a LGBT relationship. We can see the difficulties that both sides go through: as Tharn was already an "out gay" and Type wasn't. I really liked how the show dealt with it and how they showed us little by little how much their love for each other was growing week by week. And the most important is how they showed us that at the moment they decided to be together, everything about them changed, We could see how supportive the family of Tharn was, and this was just so f**king amazing. I loved everything about this part of the drama. Now, do I really need to talk about their chemistry? COME ON!!!! The way they look at each other and the little touching was just everything. The kissing scenes were superb, but I just loved how they were always touching each other and the look in their eyes *_____*'. Please give us more of Mew and Gulf, their skinship seems so natural and genuine.
For us, international fans, we will have to wait a bit more to see Type's family side.. but for now I am okay with how they did on those 12 episodes.
Talking about the side characters it was impossible for me not to fall in love with the friendship between Type and Techno, I love how they are always picking fight with each other but at the same time they are very supportive. Techno is a very good friend of Type and always give him good advices. The same goes to the relationship between Tharn and P'Thorn, it's really nice to see a thai drama where brothers have a good relationship. For the others side characters, they did well where they were supposed to do.. I'm not so into Tar and Tum plotline since LBC, so although their side was necessary to this drama I was not really interested on it. But I must say that Kokliang delivered one amazing performance for the little screen time he got. Now, I don't really wanna talk about Lhong, because this kind of character should be extinct for any kind of drama. I can't deal anymore with those kind of characters that go around doing evil things just by using the justificative of being "alone" or being "in love". Point.
Overall, if you read until here, you should know how much I loved this drama. After Tharn and Type the BL's that are upcomming will have to catch up a lot, And I mean a really big LOT. And that is first because of the amazing chemistry between Mew and Gulf, you can see that they are really comfortable with each other what makes the acting really genuine. The second thing is all about the focus, TTS focused just on one couple, so we could explore almost everything about their relationship and I really think that BL dramas are terrible at doing it. Third is the comunication between them: Tharn and Type are always talking about the problems during the drama, which almost never happens in any BL dramas... it seems that couples that are together for like 3 years, as in DBK, don't ever talk about the issues they are going through. So the upcomming ones will have to deal with a lot of high expectations, since TTS has set a new standard for thai BL dramas in my opinion.
I almost forgot to rate the music: this the third time a thai drama got my attention for their amazing OST, I really mean when I say that their songs glue on our mind! And the performance of Mew and the last episode was just the best thing ever!
ANyways, congratulations for the best thai BL drama of 2019/2020!! And please give us a second season :#

This is a drama that took me a while to finish.. not because was boring or something like that, on the contrary: I enjoyed every moment of this ride. But my heart couldn't take more crying or sadness.. This drama is the kind of that can easily break your heart. The fact that it has such a used theme as revenge and finding love in the midway don't make this drama common at all: Beyond the Clouds has it uniqueness that turned this drama one of my favorites of this genre. One strong point of this drama is definitively the acting, I must say that Yoo Kye Sang captured and destroyed my heart as Jung Se Ro. His expressions and the sad eyes that he kept during the drama were just beautifully done.. every time he cried or laughed, I caught myself doing the same... such an amazing acting should be always recommended. Han Yeong Won was such a difficult character to deal for me: I got myself in a love-hate relationship with her until the end, but the later her became more confindent and edible. I felt the way that it was wrapped could be done in a more developed way and thats why I didn't give it a full 10. This drama is a great choice if you want a heart-breaking, but sweet romance.
This drama has an amazing OST with a lot of memorable songs, like Whale from Zitten (this one will be on my playlist for like ever).

Story: I really liked this drama. As a woman is always really hard to watch dramas where the female lead has to deal with an abusive love, but this one has very strong female characters and for the time of the set up of the story is very hard to find dramas like that. When I came across this drama at MDL I was really confused if I would’ve started or not, as I read that this drama had a very possessive love and strong scenes.. Since I watch a lot of lakorns (where this kind of behavior is really common) I didn’t find this one really out of planet, I do find Murong Feng selfish and hard to understand sometimes; but if you understand the time that the drama recite and how were man at that age I don’t feel like he’s really a bad guy for Jing Wan. I felt like he tried to lover her in his own way through the whole drama, just learning that love can’t be so selfish at the end but he learnt in such a beautiful way (I always think that if you do things wrong and unknowingly or knowingly hurt anybody, and after that do anything to fix yours wrongdoing it’s a beautiful way to grow into a better person.. After all we’re all humans and we’re born to learn from life). This drama brings to us all kinds of love, friendship. loyalty and how pride and selfishness can change a world. There are some parts of the story that are really overboard and sometimes gets a little boring, but overall the plot is really good so it deserves a 9.
Acting/Cast: Like almost all chinese dramas I have a hard problem with the acting of some actors, but I must say that the chemistry between the leads at this drama is amazing! Wallace Chung became one of my favorite chinese actors after this drama, I have a huge problem when I came across with actors who have beautiful eyes language and although sometimes his acting is a bit weird he nailed Murong Feng in a very handsome way. He could transpose all of the character feelings and almost all the time I wished I was Jing Wan, specially when he was kissing her (OMFG, he’s an amazing kisser! It felt like he was devouring her, such a passionate and hot kisses). Li Xiao Ran also did an amazing job as Jing Wan, my only problem was when she needed to look strong and firm since she looked kind weird, but almost all the time she transposed really well the feelings. For me it’s really hard to find good chinese actress, they always look weird for me but for this character they made a good choice.. I’ll repeat again: what an amazing chemistry and we have a lot of hot kisses! My huge problem with the cast of this drama was Qi Fang as Cheng Jin Zhi, I didn’t like any scenes with her.. her acting skills are really bad in my opinion and her wig at the beginning of the drama make it a lot of worse. All the rest of the supporting cast did a great job and did their role well.
Music: This drama didn’t had any memorable song for me, the music in the drama is really good but not too much into my liking ><. The one that I did liked was the opening song.
Overall: This drama became definitively one of my favorites chinese one. The reason is that I found all of characters here so real, so human. They deal with their pride, dreams and desires in a very realistic way; almost all the time putting themselves before the other (wich is very human) and they pay the price of their choices. I know that sometimes this drama can be very unrealistic, but wich drama isn’t? I found the love story very beautiful and I really liked the way the characters progressed. It’s a drama that is very worth to watch if you like historical dramas with strong leads and militar/civil war theme. After this drama I’ll try to find another ones with Wallace Chung, cause I fell in love with him here. Be prepared to cry a lot and be addicted! You will not want to get up of front of the TV, since this drama flows really well that you didn’t even see the episodes going by.!

Oh, this show!! I just didn't give it a 10 because it took me 5~6 episodes to start to love it, but when I did was so wonderfull! The cast was amazing (all of them) and felt so good to not watch a show where do you really hate someone.. a drama where you can recognize a little bit of yourself in every character (this year the dramas are being so fucking human). Eric did an amazing job and so did Hyun Jin, it was nice to watch how people who got trully hurt can go over it and be real happy.. Their love made me cry out loud and laugh too. Ye Ji Won as Soo Kyeong and Kim Ji Suk as Ji Sang was hilarious! Every time they appeared on the scream I just knew that would be amazing.. when they started to speak in french, OMG! HAHAHAHA! Kim Mi Kyung as Hae Young mother was a show apart: when I was watching her I felt like I was watching my mom, a lion mom that does everything for her baby lion and this is so beautiful.! Like I said this is a must watch drama! Everything was amazingly done and the sound is a plus one at this show. Maybe because he is a sound director, dunno, but almost all the scenes have remarkable sounds/soundtracks. I'll definitely miss it at my mondays/tuesdays and rewatch it some other time.

I've been in the world of the dramas for quite a while, but there is some time that I didn't find anything so cute like this one. I mean, almost all the relationships that this drama bring to us are kind of cute, the only exception is the relations inside the Kim family. The friendships between the eunuchs, the friendship between the CP and his followers, the beautiful friendship and loyalty between him and Byung Yeon and Yoon Sung (YES, WITH HIM TOO!), the way the bond between the CP and Ra On is created and how it grows are really really beautiful to watch. Although the main theme of this drama is the romance, the other side stories are really well done and it's really nice to watch the grow of all characters. The evil ones are really evil and easy to hate, and there are this confusing one characters that you want to hate but can't hate because you pity them: like the King. What make this drama more interesting to me was the second female lead: I just loved her, I love how for the first time there wasn't this evil female lead, I felt sorry for her but she was one great plus to this drama. I really loved almost everything about the story of this drama, but towards the end everything was way too rushed for me, some characters where very lost (like Kim Yoon Sung) and it felt sometimes weird to watch, and definitively felt like something was really missing.
This drama was a very good choice to watch on my mondays/tuesdays: it was a cute crossdressing story filled with a lot of bromance and beautiful friendships. Although the plot seemed really ordinary, the cast and the acting made it really beautiful and turned Moonlight Drawn by Clouds into an unique drama. This drama is a perfect choice for people who enjoys a cute romance, because guys, they surely did it so cutely. As I said before, towards the end I felt somethings were missing or not developed really well, and I really missed this.. thats why I gave it 8.5. I really hope that there will be a second season and I'll definitively watch it with this huge amazing pleasure.

Well, I must say that I'm kind of scared to watch dramas that are really famous.. Just 'cause sometimes I get really disappointed at it. But with this was the opposite. The story is the same you find in so many dramas: a contract marriage, but what makes this drama so remarkable is the way that it flows. You can feel the chemistry between the leads since the beginning, they're so cute together that you start to wish to have one relationship just like them (or that's only me wishing it ;S).. The second leads are really good too; there are so many dramas that you start to dislike those people so much, 'cause every time they are really evil.. the best of this drama is that we don't have it!! Well, this drama was one of the best that I've ever watched. You have romance, comedy, drama and cuteness mixed very well and wonderfully executed. It's definitely a must watch drama.

I remember that on the time that this drama was airing, I didn't pick it up because I was not very fond of the cast. Now, 3 years later, I changed my mind about and tried hard to finish it. All the darkness around the plot could have be done beautifully, but for me the choice of the main actress blew almost all the drama. A drama that deals with such complicated matters like this one, should have an actress that can make you feel the way that the character is feeling at that moment and she failed at it. I didn't liked her before watching it and I'll keep avoiding watch her future shows. I just didn't dropped this drama because of Jung Woo that was perfectly done by Yoo Chun (and I was not his fan till this drama) and for Harry that is another greatly job done by Yoo Seung Ho. It's almost impossible to not to fall in love with Jung Woo, since his teenage years (another great job by Yeo Jin Goo) he shows what an amazing human being he's, judging by the fact that he has a hard grow up (having money is not always a good thing, when people lacks of love), how he deals with his mistake nd tries so hard to fix it.. it's just to lovable and honourable to me. I must say that I could go to the end of this drama because I wanted to have a man like that in my life, 10 points to the writers who created this beautiful character and 9 points for Yoo Chun acting that made me fall for him. Like I said if they picked up another actress for Lee Soo Yeon as an adult who could make a amazing job like Kim So Hyun did as her in her teens this would deserve a better rating, but portraying a woman with those deep scars and life is not for anyone. Harry was that kind of second lead that you can't hate, I felt pitty for him and really wanted to hug him almost all the time.. YSH tears are just so beautiful and real, I dunno another word to describe the way he acts... Just beautiful. If you want a melodrama with a good story and you can ignore Yoon Eun Hye poor acting skills, this drama is worth watching.

A beautiful ride.

I wish this drama had more recognition, because it was such a beautiful ride watching it.
It's been years since I wrote a review, but my heart just felt that this drama deserved a one.
Okay, yes, it has some flaws and I wish some plotlines were developed better.. but this was okay for me, overall. Ghost BL's tend to lose its way and the end are always lacking for me, but with this one I felt on point. I laughed, I cried and I could understand every single decision the characters made.. and it's not easy to find a BL that makes me feel this way on Thai (Japanese ones are the ones with this power).
The beginning was the part that I liked less, but after all the introduction part was gone, the story became okay. The chemistry between the leads is amazing and, personally, I loved how the way they touched each other, it felt so real and not acted. Felt they were really close to each other. And, *please*, this must be one of the shows were I found every outfit amazing.
This drama is about saying goodbye, grieving and findind happiness.. it's a BL that goes outside the main Thailand-theme box.
Anyways, don't skip this one.. It's really worth your time. Give it a chance!!

After a year on my plan to watch list I finally got the time/vibe to watch this drama, and didn't sleeping well for two days was really worthing! Signal is not the kind of drama that everyone will like it, but at the same time is the kind one that grabs and take over your heart and mind. The way that they develop the story and how the things start to make sense is totally amazing! The most crazy thing about this plot is how you start to find out the link between the characters and the cases that they investigate.. The writers did an amazing job here, after one/two episodes you're already hooked to this crazy/amazing drama!
One of the strongest point of this drama is the cast: Lee Je Hoon as Park Hae Yeong is perfect, his expressions, his big lips, the crazy look he has when he's profiling someone, his tears.. are really on point! I dunno another works from him, but after this drama I'll definitively stalker him around. Jo Jin Woong as Lee Jae Han is really good too, I really like the development and how the actor portrait this specific character.. Cha Soo Heyon is not my favorite kind of female character, just for the fact that I feel like almost all her judgements are kind of based on her feelings for Lee Jae Han. But, on the other side, is really cool to watch this strong and amazing woman that doesn't seem afraid of fighting for the right thing. Kim Hye Soo was really cool on the acting scenes and I really think that she has a crazy chemistry with Lee Je Hoon; I shipped Detective Cha with Park Hae Yeong all time long!
Overall I really enjoyed watching this drama and I couldn't stop until I had finished it.. Everything was done pretty well and it's impossible to not like it.
