Edi ayun na nga, i've just finished binge watching sotus, sotus S and our Skyy. 1st of ol let me juz say na its my 1st time to watch anything that s related to thai (or maybe I have but cant remember) and dis is my 1st time watching a thai series and also about BL
I have come across sotus the series by accident. and yes its one of the best decision I made so far, and let me tell you why. Here in the PH there is a lot of hype about a certain BL series that is still airing now I think.
I dont have d hobby of jumping into the band wagon instantly, thats why I searched on netflix f there is another popular BL series that has been aired prior to the BL series now. And Sotus is one of the result but I've neglected to watch it multiple times.
So try to watch other series but I cant get pass the 1st episodes bcoz I get bored easily(I'm d problem here not the series 😂), then I said I will give Sotus a try like the other series and if the 1st episode bored me i'll just move on to the next..
Edi ito na nga I watched the 1st episode and before I know it, its already 4am in the morning and smilling like crazy after watching more that half of Sotus the series season1 Haha! One of the reason why I think I liked sotus s bcoz of the mood.
I have read somewhere that the setting of thai BL series is typically on highschool or College setup. thats why I think I liked it bcoz I miss my friends back in College, and I like the relatioship that P'Arthit and Kongpob have with their friends.
Aside from that, I liked it bcoz the series is very conservative considering that its a BL searies, and it relied mostly on the chemistry of the two main Characters. Which is crazy strong by the why, I have nvr seen this much chemistry bet two guys before.
The character of Arthit on the 1st season is very hot headed, dominating and unapproachable but still very charming, while Kongpob has this superhero complex who always feels like he has to help his friends or anyone in trouble even if he gets in trouble also..
Juz imagine when this two guys collide, but instead of hating on each other they start developing feelings about the other person. Haha! Crazy right? But they try to deny it at fist but the feelings juz grew strong to the point that they cant hide any more.
Aside from Arthit and Kongpob, I like the side story of the lovelife of their friends. Like M and May, I was rooting for M the whole time bcoz I like the chemistry he has with May, (and bcoz I have a lowkey crush on the actress who plays May haha!) Anyway-
- if someday the actors who plays M and May have a separate series I will watch that also, I just like them together. Ok back to Arthit and Kongpob, one of the reason why I liked the series are their conflicts bcoz its about the two of them, not the people around them (get it?)
I have watched other series before(not BL) where the conflicts are cause by people outside of the relationship, like third party or people who just dont approve of the relationship. Its not the case here on Sotus, the conflicts only involve Arthit and Kongpob..
Where Arthit is always the one that cause the conflict, bcoz here on Sotus the Series he tries to deny his feelings to Kongpob, while Kongpob is very straight forward about his feelings with Arthit. The moment he knew he wants to be with Arthit he never looked back.
He doesn't care what other people may think, he knows what his heart wants and thats the heart of the head hazer. His world starts to revolve around Arthit, But Arthit doesn't understand what he feels towards Kongpob bcoz its all new to him.
Oh and also I really like it when they get jealous when they think someone is getting uncomfortably close the to the other person. Haha! They cant stand it. But it gets resolve quicky.
And also I really appreciate it that they didn't make the girls the antagonist here, the girl cast are all very cute and not the source of the problem between the relationship of Arthit and Kongpob, tho some of them cant help but fall for the main characters-
I really like it how it gets resolve w/o the drama that are very typical on drama series today. And honestly girls on BL series doesn't deserve that kind treatment, why would they be the problem? Its a BL series.
Again I really like it that the conflicts are about them figuring out how they really feel about each other, well mostly it about Arthit figuring out his feelings towards Kongpob..haha!
And at the end of Sotus the Series Arthit knew what he wants, and he finally accepts his feellings that Kongpob is very important person to him and can't leave life w/o Kongpob.
Sotus S is also as addicting as the 1st series, I can really relate to Arthit bcoz I have the same feelings when it was my 1st day as an employee, its very scary. Good thing he has Kongpob to cheer him up!
Its funny bcoz Arthits character here is unrecognizable, haha! His like a lost puppy here. His not the same as before when he was the head hazer. Well not when he is with Kongpob, he always acts as if he is still the head hazer when he is with Kongpob.
I miss the college setup, where they are always surrounded by their friends..I miss that maybe bcoz I just miss my friends also..haha!
Poor Arthit his also a victim of the politics inside the company. If you are an employee I'm sure you have a P'John in ur life, I juz hope that u r not a P'John on someone else's life.
Again I like that the focus of the conflicts in Arthit and Kongpob's relationship is about themselves. Where Arthit is pressured on how he will itroduce Kongpob to his co-employees, specially when Kongpob starts his internship on the same company as him.
Here s one of my fave scene, Arthit knew that his actions has hurt the feelings of Kongpob. But he is still afraid to show his true feelings towards Kongpob around other people.
Honestly I really like all of the scenes where Arthit is being vocal about his feelings towards Kongpob. I know Kongpob is very understanding but Kongpob deserves to hear it coming from Arthit also.
I dont really know why, but it breaks me when I see them cry, maybe because I was rooting for their relationship to work, I want them to be happy they deserve it. So when they have a major conflict on Sotus S, I stopped watching the series, I have to take a break-
-what I did was I looked around the internet searching for the english translation of the Sotus novel, but sadly I can only find the complete translation on wattpad. But nevertheless I'm very gratefull for the translators for their efforts. 😘
The main reason why I want to read the Sotus novel is bcoz, I want to know what the characters are thinking when they are at the moment, those at not included on the drama series, and reading the novel gave me insights on whats going on inside Arthit and Kongpob's head..haha!
And its even more exciting knowing what they are thingking, and knowing when they started having special feelings about each other, and when I finished reading the 1st novel I know Im ready to continue on watching the Sotus S series.
But I was not F*cking ready for this man. I cant remember when was the last time I cried this hard for a F*cking series. #SotusStheSeries did that to me. haha!
I can even remember waking up feeling depressed that morning, as if I have their problem. Haha! Man that was so heavy, I have to mentally prepare myself to continue on watching the series. Its that good!
But eventually Arthit found the courage, and he realized that his fears is hurting the person that he loves. That he is hurting the person that is very important to him. I'm happy how this season ended. But i want moooore!
This series made me feel emotions that i have forgotten, this series made me looke back when I was still a student living the moment with my Friends. And I am happy that I took a chance on watching the Series.
Well about Our Skyy to tell you the truth 15mins. in watching the movie, tears started flowing. I can really feel Arthit's fears here, knowing that the person you love the most is moving far away from you.
Knowing that when you wake up in the morning you will see the person you love next to you, your everyday life revolves around them, then suddenly they have to move far away from you.
I understands Arthit's fears here on Our Skyy, he is used to being around Kongpob even if he admits it or not, and he loves being around Kongpob also. They are addicted with each other, its juz that Arthit juz likes to hide it to Kongpob.
Man this scenes got me so bad that I have to stop watching, bcoz I'm sobbing so hard in the middle of the day. I have to stop and take a deep breath, it was that heavy for me, after watching Sotus the series and Sotus S. I am really rooting for their happiness as a couple.
Its very scary when the person you love will have to go somewhere far away from you. But what also Like about Arthit is that he is not scarer that Kongpob is going to cheat on him when Kongpob has to move.
