Dap Saengrawi (2023)

A good watch

Honestly, I came for ZeeNunew. Had to set the vpn to watch it on Netflix.
Thire story was interesting and the acting was superb ? as expected of ZNN. The music was Okay. Would have been much better to have more time and develop the backstory ans second couple's story too.
The plot was nothing very new compared to other supernatural movies but it was interesting because of the LGBTQIA+ theme. Was expecting to see the discrimination and barriers faced by gender minorities especially in that era and probably because of the storyline, it wasn't well portrayed like in Khun Chai.
Not a big fan of villianizing the women (the crazy ex) in BL stories though.

I love Zee and NuNew so it pains me to say what I'm about to say.

I just thought this was pretty bad. I love them, both their individial acting and oh mygoodness the chemsitry is gorgeous. This story though? Even some award deserving kisses could not save it.

I found the story to be quite boring up until just over the halfway point and while things did get interesting, oh geez, the acting. Please don't as Nu to act like that again, that was hilarious and cringy to watch, especially as a fan and knowing how talented he really is.

I didnt care for his character in this movie. He was so simpering and meek and everything his Cutie Pie character is not and I found it frustratng to watch. As an actor I felt he deserved better than that in a role he was being asked to portray.

Zee's character, well there was nothing new there. This is his signature role and it can not possibly be any sort of stretch for him. In fact their interactions just felt so choreographed. The exact looks, the exact facial expressions, the exact head movement, it's exactly as I have seen from them before and it just felt a little like I could practically hear the director saying "okay aaaaaand cut!"

With that said, come on, you know they can do no wrong whatsoever in the kissing department. They could teach a masterclass.

For me this movie started out so slow and boring and then went so far in the other direction so quickly that it was jarring and that all might have been okay, maybe, had the acting been better and more believable. I'm sorry NuNew, I love you, I do, but it was just so impossible not to laugh and shake my head.

Now, what I did like about this story was the cute side couple. There was only a little glimpse of a potential story there that I would loved to have seen explored. The interactions between those two started out honest feeling to me but then of course, I guess for times sake, it morphed to the usual scene like a box that was checked.

How do you go to what appears to be work attire the whole time then suddenly no shirt and a pair of white shorts? I mean he was watering the property flowers right LOL? That was just hilarious and out of left field for me.

Did I hate this movie? No but given the bigger named actors, I was expecting so very much more and I thought the actors deserved better.

Trash movie

Watch this for our main lead, NuNew Chawarin Perdpiriyawong & Zee Pruk Panich. Well this movie what happen when u rush to grab any script just for the sake of both actor can be on the same screen again. 1 word only.... TRASH

The only good thing is the chemistry of the lead, NuNew & Zee. The other just trash after trash... From the trash plot, to the trash thriller or horror, even the trash of the ghost make up. Haha....

I'm out of word to describe how trash this movie... One supposed to be quite good story, is what the impression i get from the summary, they make it so trashy just to make NuNew & Zee to be on the same screen again...

Overall just skip this movie. Although only about 1 hr, but i already feel i waste my time... Hope for better future project for NuNew & Zee....

Lazy plot, beautiful movie.

The story feels short, but it's to be expected being a movie and not a series.
Cinematography was excellent, and so was the music. I found the pace also very well measured.
I would have loved for the villain to be a bit more humanized. The rest of the characters seem to just be innocent victims of the circumstances. Because of all this I find the plot rather lazy. Nobody goes through character development and all of their actions are very black and white.
I recommend it if you want to take your mind off things and just spend an entertaining evening. Besides, ZeeNuNew kisses are always a plus.

A story who was badly written.

So, you put two BL actors who are a couple in real lie. You expect chemistry... Well, it never showed. I didn't feel any love between the characters, and even after they slept together, still no emotions.
The story was ... blah. Revenge of a ghost who married a rich man, who himself was in love with another man... Not the story of a lifetime. He could have been scarier, with much more drama. Another woman who is living the same life as the ghost, or a revenge of someone reborn... So many things could have made it much better. But they focused too much on the two main characters and forgot what the movie is about. I very rarely judge a BL that low, but I expected so much from this movie. I hope the production will do a better job with their next film "The Next Prince" !!!

It felt like : Parallel reality of Cutie Pie the series

I haven’t see the trailer beforehand, I jumped directly to the movie.

And for what I got to see, it gave me IFYLITA vibes watered with softer horror tones.

P’Zee and NuNew’s performance didn’t surprise me, because they delivered as usual (I’m referring to CP the series).
The plot was good,sweet and simple and somehow directive but it wasn’t made for them, I think that they need more challenging characters and roles, taking into account what they have already done and in their potential.
This plot was more oriented for newcomers actors.
Watchable but not rewatchable.. it’s the kind of movies you’ll forget once you finished it.
At the end I had the sensation that I watched Cutie Pie the series( because of the elements portrayed in both characters), but in parallel reality. Spoke out my thoughts….

I've seen this movie 100 times already

After Sundown is so cookie-cutter with many, many, MANY played out BL tropes. From forbidden gay love between master and servant to childhood friends who have only met once and yet fell in love. Since it's only an hour and forty minute film, I don't mind the sudden shift between enemies to lovers. What I do mind is that it is addressed ONCE in the film with a necklace and a single flashback. A personal pet peeve of mind in BL, since I find the trope of childhood friends who met once in their lifetimes lazy and a cop out for why our male leads fall in love with one another. Same goes for the forbidden love between master and servant, I love Never Let Me Go but I didn't even really care for it in their Our Sky 2 episodes either.

The only semi-interesting plot point about this film is the dead grandmother's ghost cursing Rawi (NuNew). Since she was jealous of the gay love of her husband who was forced to marry her. Again, a lazy boring trope that brings nothing to the table. The half assed side couple was also embarrassing to watch, they actually only got a single scene and were completely pushed to the side after. Like? Okay? I understand we're supposed to assume that they end up together cause BL Side Couple Law says so. But still, kind of hard to care about characters that the movie doesn't even bother with for more than a couple minutes of screentime.

The only compliment I can give this movie is production and scene quality, and of course ZeeNuNew, (The reason I watched this in the first place). Despite not particularly liking the setting I could appreciate the work and detail put into it. Both the scenery and clothing were appealing to look at and ZeeNuNew's chemistry kept me somewhat interested in the film.

But unless you're a big fan of ZeeNuNew and don't mind a very safe and boring film, I cannot recommend this movie.

Great actors but boring story

The film starts with very poor character introductions. Starting with Rawi's relationship with the monk, it was really too short. Then there was no urgency that was so important that Rawi had to live with Pharit's family. So it's a little difficult to feel the emotions the character is feeling at that moment.

The storyline was so fast that I felt the script was too to the point. Especially when transitioning from day to night, or from one day to the next. They only use the same scene, namely the house scene when it is light and when it is dark.

Even though there are so many black notes, there are several things that I still like about this film. Phloeng's acting is still better, although not the best. And the ghosts or spirits here are scary, I admit it makes me scared.

Unfortunately, in the middle of the film I started to feel bored. Especially considering that their dialogue was too to the point earlier. There was no drama spice presented so I didn't feel any emotions except fear when I met a ghost. I think this film would be better made into a series. So that the audience can understand the characters more deeply.

Maybe that's all from me, more or less sorry. Regards

Good actors good basic structure wasted potential

It was a supernatural story with a super-stupid ending. I did not know how I coped up with this story, in the world of great storylines like A Tale Of Thousand Stars and Bad Buddy.

This story could have been so much better, there could be a better character redemption arc Zee's character and a better build in the MLs. The story could take a darker turn progressing and show a more terrifying style of presenting the same old cliche ghost tales. The ending made me question if the authors were honestly high while writing.

The scaring part was honestly so limited it made me question the genre of this series.

For me Nunew carried the series and the romance between ZNN made this torture a little better.

Please a better plot now ZeeNunew

At the very beginning I was quite excited to see a different genre of BL but this was some low end shit. I love ZNN but this was quite a disappointment as Nunew could bring just a little betterness to the lifeless plot.

If you use a different genre please use it properly.

Ok.. another thing.. the ghost apologizing is freaking funny.. what the heck was that lmao
