Pluto (2024)

The most beautiful bundle of complexity in GL media by far.

Let me first start off with the writing. Despite initial concerns with the problematic novel it's based off of, the writers did a fantastic job in making up for the flaws of the book in the series. The necessary changes made, the pacing of the plot, and the flow of the story all contributed greatly in cementing this show in my heart as one of, if not the best GL I've watched so far.

Now let's get into the acting. Namtan did a heck of a job differentiating Oom from Ai. It genuinely felt as if they're acted by different actresses by how well she played the two characters. Film was a natural. She played the role of a woman who is blind perfectly, and at times it was scary how real it felt. But that's just how well she embodied her role. Not only this, she really has this natural artist's ability to capture your attention and be enamored by her acting that just gets you in the feels. NamtanFilm is by far the most balanced GL tandem in terms of acting. They match each other's amazing acting ability, making it easy for viewers to feel what they intended for scenes to elicit.

For my most loved part of this show: its complexity. Characters are extremely flawed, morally grey, and realistic. Yet, the writers did not fail to bring out the humanity beneath these characters to make them appeal to the audience's hearts. Its themes are also extremely heavy yet are handled and tackled well enough to not make it problematic. This balance was what made the show more engaging, enjoyable, and memorable. Especially with Jan, Pang, and Pim's love triangle. It was a whole lot. Although their story was not quite deepened and not dwelled enough for there to be any attachment felt by the viewers for them, it just goes to show how bold and complex Snap25 went with Pluto.

Additionally, the fact that a lot of redemptions happen in this show makes it a relatively easy rewatch despite its heavy themes (Episode 11 angst was way too much for my emotional self though so definitely except it). I'm not a fan of rewatching at all, but Pluto is one of the few shows that I would willingly rewatch for the feels alongside Reverse 4 You.

No doubt in my mind this is going to be GMMTV's best GL show for quite some time.

When eyes speak more than words

This my first GL series and I am not disappointed .

The story is so good and unique with super gorgeous two female leads . May who is a blind girl , tries to take care of her love everyday . And Ai -oon is a badass but soft hearted person who tried to fulfill her sister's wish . She accidently discovered she herself also likes Oom's girlfriend May and then they started a new journey .

I was waiting for a good series and finally I have found it . Don't think second time you should watch it or not . Just try one or two episodes , you will understand . Excellent visuals , cinematography with a bit of mysterious story plotline .

9.5/10 for me . You will not feel regretful .
