Similar but different
The Stranded is probably by far the best Thai series centered around teens that I have watched. The show has many aspects that are clearly rooted from the US TV show LOST and from the book Lord of The Flies.There may be similarities, but you can feel that The Stranded has its own identity and never struggled to show it throughout the entirety of the series. Gay relationship is almost trivial and not a biggie. The director also managed to focus on the deeper bond and what makes Krit/Jack tick instead of them being just a horny gay couple.
The director effectively used plot devices like "flashback" and "hallucinations" to tell the character's past. I like how at some point I was hating on Ice but then during his fake exorcism, I found myself reaching for the paper napkins to clear some dirt on my eyes.
The incidental music used is similar to LOST wherein the objects are the ones creating the ambient music and this makes each scene even more eerie and mysterious.
One of the reason I've watched this show is because of Perth Tanapon and Mark Siwat. I know that their management is making "them" happen. As a Perth fan, I'd rather see him with Saint but of course its their management decision that will prevail. I just hope that they will reconsider.
I would highly recommend The Stranded to sci-fi/thriller/mystery fans! I can't wait for season 2!

The storyline is one of a kind
I like this kind of series and the storyline is really so unbelievably mind-blowing with its plot-twists !!! The actions made me want to finish the serie as soon as possible and till the very end everything was so cool ( which made me eager for a second season) !!! Don't leave us hanging please 😭The actors did a great job as well, they delivered the characters as they should be. I felt sad for baby Perth but he is a great actor too! I liked the way he made me get attached to Krit.
Some parts made feel like O.O oh my god how am I supposed to UNDERSTAND that !!! But then everything gets more exciting !
Once more, we need a season 2 please it can't stop right there !!!! Wishing for season 2 soon 🙏

Just watch it
I don't feel like writing a full review so I'm just going to jot down a few of my thoughts.- I'm so dumb for not watching this sooner, I put it off because I knew that the BL couple does not have a happy ending, but, this series was so much more than what I was expecting. I love love loved it!
- All the characters were perfect and perfectly executed, including the ones that I hated.
- Ying is gorgeous, I have a massive girl crush on her now.
- I was super terrified through half of the series, it's funny how many times I jumped, but again, in a good way! (one of the reasons why I noted the rewatch value as a 9 because I can't go through all that again straight away lol)
- All the scenery was super beautiful.
- All the music was perfectly suited to each scene.
- Such a fun mystery that left me super confused even past the ending.
- I'm pretty such that PP (from I Told Sunset About You) was in the final scene of the series and I am still recovering from the prospect of him being a main character in the next series, please please please?? I would love that.
- Only down side is that there may not be another series?? This was released at the end of 2019 so there may have been some issues filming because of COVID - I'm hoping its just postponed rather than cancelled because I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!
I'm not one for rating every series super high (check my list, I think I've only rated 4-5 other shows a 10) so watch it if you haven't already! You won't regret it :)

cosa ho appena finito di vedere?
questa recensione è molto breve e credo si basi tutto sul fatto che se all’inizio le cose più o meno si capiscono perché il signore delle mosche lo abbiamo letto tutti e tutti sappiamo come si comportano i capponi di Renzo quando l’aitante uomo va dall’amico (che poi amico non è) Azzecca Garbugli) che si vogliono uccidere e quindi dovrebbero fare gruppo, ma non lo fanno? ecco, prendi questi presupposti, aggiungici una coppia BL (che ho apprezzato, easy, erano Mark e Perth), un po’ di GL, gente che si da da fare nel bel mezzo del nulla e hai la trama dei primi due episodi. poi va tutto downhill e non si capisce più nulla. poi non è che gli attori non siano bravi (anzi, amo Perth e Mark, e si sono l’unica ragione per cui ho visto la storia, quindi non voletemene se parlo solo di loro)(e no, non lo ho visto perché loro sono la coppia BL, ma solo perché mi piacciono molto (e molto è riduttivo) come attori), però tutto il resto di capisce poco, male e ci sono dei mostri. lo salvo per Mark, Perth (mi piace che ogni tanto inverto l’ordine), Nawin (che avevo scoperto in seguito essere presente nel cast) e i luoghi in cui è stato girato. overall è carino, forse avrebbe giovato di una seconda stagione che ahimè, vista la prematura scomparsa dell’attore non si è potuta fareVond je deze recentie nuttig?
Don't Expect Too Much
The story idea was great but it was not greatly implemented. This series starts off very strong but the script falls apart halfway through it. This is unfortunate because it has an outstanding cast with many well-known actors. However, the actors did a great job with what they were given and the cinematography was beautiful.Random Note:
The ending was too weird and left many loose ends. I could be wrong, but it seems they had plans for a second season but it was probably canceled due to Covid-19.

Keeps you guessing ....
So this is not something I would normally watch, but i thought i would give it a try and try something different.I could honestly say that I was not disappointed, but not over excited about it, it does have the whole keep you at the edge of your seat, and the fact that I watched within a day says a lot. I did get the feeling that it was very similar to Lost as well, you have an almost identical and equally pivotal scene of the main character waking up on the ground in the jungle at one point. You have the unworldly creepiness that can't be explained and the mysterious suspense wrapped around everything.
Also it just really busy and everything was all over the show, for me, the one downside was the teacher that came back from the jungle and acted like a child, especially blackmailing the student, instead of being the Main Adult and step up, then we have the bullying aspect when she finds out what happens to her brother, any normal person would have been able to see and know that there was no way he was going to be able to make that trip and that his leg was getting really bad, then you have a affair and emotional black as well as a student trying to paly doctor. Although I do get it, if in a situation you do need to step up and grow in order to survive there were things there that I feel could have been handled better.
Overall: nothing bad to say, good series. (Okay, but I can say that the storyline was a few times (very little times) little bit messed up but not too bad. And the end left almost everything open, cant honestly say if I would be watch the second season if there is one.

Awesome but confusing
It was an awesome drama but the end had me asking about ten questions that I thought would have been answered by the last few minutes.Unfortunately, I'm still as confused as I was at the beginning. It's a shame there were so many unanswered questions... that fact leads me to believe that there could be a second season. I doubt it, though. I feel that the cliff-hanger at the end was intended to be left there, all things unanswered.
I guess it was still great just had a questionable ending. How do I put it? There was no moment of catharsis. But the characters and setting and whole dystopian feel was quite cool. It reminded me of maze runner actually.

Still wishing for the season 2 even though a few years have passed
This show ends with such cliffhanger and I guess it will stay that way forever. I really would love to see how the story continues to progress and I want to see all my favorite characters make it out alive. I also want to see the new world (the one that Kraam entered at the end)9 for rewatch value because this series will be the only one we got and audiences will be left wondering forever how things might go.
RIP Beam, such a great actor and gone too soon.

Still waiting...
I watch the show a long time ago, in the beggining of 2020 and rewatched like 3 times. I liked it, mostly those two girls and I really wanna know what happened next not just in their relationship but also for the end of the show when he meet people that are dead. I know what, unfortunately , happened to the male lead...it's really sad he was so young and talented, I feel bad for him, RIP. (I also saw him in "Thai cave rescue" and his acting was good !)Maybe one day we will have a season 2 or something like that.
(sorry for my English)
