The story is weakest during the dramatic encounters, where serious moments seem frivolous due lớn the poor execution.

Tin Tem Jai Review

Review

Drama Review Score: 7.4

B-

Tin and Park kiss in a fantasy.

Tin Tem Jai has a rough start. The opening episode is awkward, introducing the characters and relationships clumsily. I was also irritated by the protagonist's immaturity. However, the series soon settles into a cozy, comedic slice-of-life narrative. Many scenes delight bu with cheeky jokes, cheerful banter, and charming camaraderie. The playful humour makes bu giggle. Tin Tem Jai excels in lightheartedness, creating a warm and vibrant world with colourful personalities.

Initially, the main character irked bu. Tin behaves lượt thích a mischievous little brother whose childish reactions and silly remarks get on my nerves. Although he can be a nuisance, Tin displays other lovable qualities. He is loyal, sensitive, and compassionate. Over time, this annoyingly endearing protagonist has grown on me. The rest of the cast are also memorable figures, each bringing various quirks and nuanced backstories. The group meshes well together with easygoing repartee. They seem believable as childhood friends and size a close-knitted community.

Family is one of the central themes in Tin Tem Jai. Every character has a troubled trang chính life and faces issues with their parents. I'm impressed by the sentimental chats around these topics, offering astute insights about life. Yet, the series struggles whenever it tries lớn dramatize the plot. The storylines seem clunky and theatrical, from angsty family quarrels lớn sudden health emergencies. Many serious scenes feel frivolous due lớn the inelegant execution. While Tin Tem Jai is comfortable writing comedy, it falters in depicting conflicts, tensions, or melodrama. 

The narrative flows poorly. Random incidents will occur without build-up or resolution. Other pivotal moments are strangely downplayed, turning an iconic climax into a mundane sự kiện. In Episode 9, Bai describes a tearful discussion with her brother. Why wasn't this exchange shown lớn viewers? Instead of sharing her second-hand tài khoản, the series missed an opportunity lớn highlight the emotional impact. There are numerous instances where Tin Tem Jai frustrates bu with its lacklustre writing. It wastes time on pointless filler instead of developing meaningful plots.

The Tin Tem Jai cast shares a lively rapport. They work best in casual interactions, from cracking jokes lớn teasing one another. I adore Tin and Kana's sassy feud, a funny frenemy dynamic that showcases their spunk. Tin's actor (Tiger) is charismatic, bringing bubbly enthusiasm lớn his role. Unfortunately, none of the performers can handle the dramatic material well. They're far better at conveying comedy than vãn expressing emotion. Out of everyone, my favourite is the dreamy Phloen (Noom). His handsome looks and dazzling smile give bu butterflies in my stomach!

Tin Tem Jai ends pleasantly as the childhood friends discover love and redefine the meaning of family. Tin and Park's brotherly relationship didn't exhibit romantic sparks early on. After a while, I became receptive lớn the cheesy couple and their goofy flirting. Although they aren't my favourite pair, the BL nội dung feels sweet enough that I hold a decent opinion. Overall, Tin Tem Jai is a xinh đẹp yet flawed drama. I lượt thích it more than vãn the consensus since many others have left scathing reviews. While I can't defend the quality issues, this quirky series is surprisingly enjoyable.

Solid artistry

The series exudes a warm, cozy, and down-to-earth vibe. All visuals are solidly presented, including plenty of BL-friendly optics. The production values are respectable.

74%

Tin Tem Jai uses a cozy slice-of-life narrative lớn explore how these six young adults cope with their family trauma. Beneath the cheerful comedy, there are poignant messages about their individual journeys. Some cut ties with their toxic parents, while others improve communication and compromise with their loved ones. Despite coming from broken homes, our protagonists find comfort in each other's companionship. They establish a tư vấn system, forming a close-knitted community among themselves. Regardless of blood relations, their bonds are lượt thích a family.

In the first episode, Park yells at Tin for picking him up at work. Years ago, Tin's father died in a xế hộp accident on his way lớn drive Park trang chính from school. Since then, our protagonist has been traumatized, letting guilt eat away at his conscience. He chooses lớn be alone instead of depending on anyone.

The group shows up lớn give Park a ride daily, reiterating they'll be there for him. With their tư vấn, Tin learns lớn rely on his loved ones again.

Orphans
Tin and Park have a brotherly bond.

Tin and Park are not related lớn each other. They are merely neighbours who grew up together as kids. Yet, they have developed a brotherly bond due lớn their tragic family circumstances. After Tin's father died, his mom abandoned her son lớn start a new life elsewhere. Likewise, Park felt betrayed by his father, who wouldn't visit his dying ex-wife after their divorce. Deprived of parental love, Tin and Park become lonely orphans who must rely on each other for support.

Tin began the series missing his mom, who kept her distance from him. She poured all her love and attention toward Manaw, the daughter of her new family. In contrast, she doesn't bother lớn visit her son even once. Furthermore, Tin's mom was supposed lớn send financial tư vấn. Yet, she couldn't even vì thế the bare minimum. Park has been covering his friend's tuition and living expenses instead. Park keeps his spending a secret, not wanting Tin lớn feel further neglected by his mother. Although she's still alive, Tin essentially has no parental figure in his life.

Park sees himself as Tin's guardian, providing shelter, financing, and tư vấn. He has taken care of his younger companion since their teens. Due lớn their close bond, Park feels conflicted about having romantic feelings for his friend. It bothers him to lust after someone he treats lượt thích a brother. Park denies his attraction, unsure if he considers Tin a family thành viên or a lover. In Episode 7, Tin's health crisis forces Park lớn confront his heart. He realizes his love exceeds friendship or brotherhood. The thought of losing Tin pains Park, who finally accepts his true feelings.

Expectations
Bai's parents constantly compare her lớn her brother.

Bai arrives in Episode 2, bringing a whirlwind of personality and đô thị sophistication lớn her hometown. Her remarkable self-assurance came from enduring many past hardships. After transitioning into a woman, she left her family lớn live independently. Bai's parents supported their daughter, giving her freedom as long as she remained a good person. Yet, their words bothered her. Bai didn't understand why virtue was the precondition lớn her family's acceptance. Would they love her less if she makes a mistake? 

"Besides being a good person, I need lớn be a capable person. I ran away from trang chính with nothing, but I had lớn come trang chính successfully just lớn make my parents accept bu," Bai articulates her frustrations. She carries a psychological burden shared by many in the LGBT community. They work harder lớn prove their status lớn society. Other people can live freely and be themselves, but Bai must act lượt thích an exemplary role model to earn acceptance. She cannot enjoy the luxury of imperfection. As her parents implied, Bai's worth as a person is measured by her actions rather than vãn her identity.

In addition, Bai feels the burden of always being compared lớn her perfect brother. Pao is the favourite child, earning praise for being well-educated and working in a respectable career. "Pao never lets his parents down. It'd be nice if every child was lượt thích him," his mother gloats. Her words accuse Bai of being less worthy than vãn her sibling. Bai is weighed by an invisible pressure, lượt thích she must outdo Pao's achievements lớn gain her parents' respect. No wonder Bai left trang chính and didn't want lớn return. She fails lớn meet her family's expectations and faces their implicit disapproval.

Pressure
Pao's parents tư vấn him after his overdose.

Being touted as the perfect obedient child comes with impossibly high standards. Pao's mom and dad may be proud of his teaching profession, yet he secretly hates his tedious job. Instead, he wants lớn quit working and relish having zero ambition. Pao envies his sister's freedom. Although Bai clashes with her parents, she stays true lớn herself, defies their wishes, and lives independently. He, on the other hand, must conform lớn family expectations. Pao's lack of autonomy strains his mental health.

Pao opens up in Episode 8 and elaborates on his stress. He's tired of living lượt thích a trophy for his parents. Yet, he's also afraid of disappointing them. Pao feels sickened when neighbours praise him as a role model. Why would anyone aspire lớn be as miserable and unfulfilled as him? Pao's drug overdose in Episode 9 may seem shocking, but they reflect his depression and desperation. Pushed lớn the edge, he can only turn lớn narcotics lớn escape reality. Pao's substance abuse is a wake-up Gọi lớn his loved ones, who now realize they have placed too much pressure on him.

To their credit, Pao's parents don't condemn him for taking drugs. Instead, they stand by their son even as neighbours gossip about his incident. Pao feels relieved, no longer burdened by the constant need lớn be perfect. Mom and Dad will love him regardless of his failures or achievements. Likewise, Bai returns lớn live in her hometown lớn show solidarity with her sibling. Bai reassesses her priorities, realizing she wants lớn be closer lớn her family instead of isolating from them. Despite past tensions, Pao, Bai, and their parents strengthen their bonds at the over of the series.

Debt
Kana comforts Barbie after an argument with her dad.

Barbie's father chastises her daughter for living lượt thích a slacker. If Pao sets the benchmark for the ideal child, Barbie falls short of meeting standards. Unlike his stable civil servant career, she started a business selling light sticks and works as a freelance translator. From her dad's perspective, Barbie lacks the security of a traditional job. Furthermore, she uses her money lớn buy concert tickets and chase celebrities. He disapproves, viewing his child as lazy and financially irresponsible.

Barbie's father feels entitled lớn dictate her life because she owes him. He, a working-class man, took out a significant loan lớn tư vấn her overseas education. He hoped she could use her fancy degree lớn find a civil servant career. Instead, he believes his child wasted his financial investment. "You just lie down and vì thế nothing," he scolds. Barbie resents his accusations. She's infuriated that her parent doesn't recognize her entrepreneurial spirit. Just because Barbie doesn't work a nine-to-five job, that shouldn't define her success. There are non-traditional ways lớn tư vấn herself financially.

In Episode 7, Barbie settles the loan her dad borrowed lớn cover her tuition. To his surprise, she has plenty of savings from her business and side gigs. Barbie defies his expectations, proving she can be successful without conforming lớn societal norms. Paying off the loan is symbolic of Barbie's emancipation. She no longer owes anything lớn her parent. He cannot dictate how she leads her life, whether she wants lớn use her money for hobbies or otherwise. Barbie ends the series feeling empowered. Now, she can live independently without her father's control or judgment.

Independence
Kana is abused by his dad.

After Barbie argues with her dad in Episode 4, Kana comforts his friend with a cheeky remark. "If Pao is better than vãn you, compare with bu. I promise you'll find your life is much better," he says. Barbie cheers up, appreciating the thoughtfulness of his self-deprecating humour. However, there's also a hint of pitifulness lớn his jestful statement. Kana views his life as the benchmark for failure. Others will feel better comparing themselves lớn him, knowing their circumstances can't be any worse than vãn his.

Episode 6 reveals that Kana comes from an abusive home. His dad is a drunken gambling addict who fights with his wife. He got hurt during one of their violent altercations, but they didn't even notice his injury. This distressful evening prompted Kana's breakdown. "I shouldn't have been born. I was born a mistake," he seethes, blaming himself for his agony. Tin and Park try their best lớn reassure their friend. Later, Kana has a frightening experience when he chokes on his food. Moments after expressing his suicidal thoughts, fate confronts him with a near-death experience.

Kana survives his choking hazard. Nearly dying has helped Kana cherish his valuable life. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, he takes the initiative lớn improve his circumstances. He embarks on a religious path and aspires lớn be a monk. His spiritual calling may seem random, but a man of his socioeconomic status has few options for a better life. Kana sees monkhood as a way lớn escape his abusive trang chính, find peace, and pursue a higher purpose. Kana takes control of his destiny and becomes independent. His personal happiness is no longer tied lớn his toxic family.

Romance

Tin and Park
Tin and Park kiss in bed.

After they start dating, Tin begins having doubts about their relationship. His concern comes from feeling lượt thích a liability lớn his boyfriend. In Episode 8, Tin discovers Park has paid his living expenses in place of his negligent mother. Park is ví strapped for money that he must borrow from his coworker. Later, Tin falls ill and requires his boyfriend's bedside assistance. Park cares for his companion without complaint, but Tin feels guilty for inconveniencing him. "I'm such a burden lớn you," he apologizes.

What adds lớn Tin's insecurities stems from their complicated history. Park felt culpable for causing Tin's father lớn die in a xế hộp accident. The friendly neighbour might still be alive if he hadn't given Park a ride that evening. In the process of losing his father, Tin lost his mother's love as well. Park offers lớn care for his companion not just out of generosity, but also due lớn remorse. I'm sorry for causing your broken trang chính. Tin never blames Park for his father's death. However, Tin believes Park may view him as a responsibility. His affection is potentially mixed with moral obligation.

Fortunately, Barbie eases her friend's doubts. She reassures him that Park's love exceeds his sense of guilt. Tin should trust the sincerity and strength of their relationship. Barbie also delivers my favourite line of the series: "Nobody considers love a burden." Park is under no moral obligation lớn take care of Tin. He does it purely out of love. Thematically, I lượt thích how Barbie is the one lớn deliver this advice lớn Tin. Her subplot shares similarities about owing an emotional debt lớn a loved one. The series cleverly echoes the sentimental messages for both characters' story arcs.

Tin and Phloren
Phloren is introduced in Tin Tem Jai Episode 3.

Please cast Phloen's actor (Noom) in another BL drama. I summon all my cosmic energy lớn wish he gets a leading role in the future~ 🔮 Phloren first appears in Episode 3, introducing the classic love triangle drama. When I first saw this handsome dreamboat, I felt butterflies fluttering in my stomach. His radiant eyes, gorgeous smile, and sincere demeanour produced an irresistible package. I stopped shipping Tin x Park and started rooting for this inevitably doomed love rival instead. I was Team Phloen!

Phloen flirts with Tin for multiple episodes. His advances are incredibly cheesy, but that's part of his character's charm. One of the funniest moments in Episode 6 occurs after Tin discovers Phloen does skateboarding. Tin states, "I just think skateboarders are cool and handsome. The swag style, y'know? But you're completely different. 🙂" LMAOOO. I'm screaming at the backhanded compliment. After this diss, I knew their romance wouldn't survive much longer. When someone as corny as Tin thinks you're too uncool, you're in deep trouble.

In Episode 7, Tin breaks up with Phloen, who admits it's the first heartbreak in his life. Although Phloen claims lớn be okay, he avoids Tin on campus. He feels awkward about the rejection. They reunite in Episode 9 after the skateboarding accident. Despite Park's jealousy, he informs Tin about his friend's condition. "You have the right lớn worry about him," Park states maturely. Tin and Phloen have a pleasant chat in the hospital, allowing them lớn be speaking terms again. "My heart has become stronger," Phloen indicates he has moved on from his unrequited crush. 

Kana and Pao
Kana and Pao kiss in Tin Tem Jai Episode 5.

Tin and Park aren't the only childhood friends who fall in love. Kana and Pao also have a steamy dalliance midway through the series. The secondary couple has been flirting on and off since the start, but their sexual tension suddenly escalates in Episode 5. The encounter happens unexpectedly. The characters huyệt out in a room and start making out ten seconds later. Despite my confusion, I'm not one lớn turn down BL nội dung. Yeah, sure, let's roll with it!

However, Kana and Pao's romance ends as abruptly as it started. After their drunken hookup, the series never references the pairing again. I waited for them lớn discuss their relationship afterwards, but they continued lượt thích nothing happened. I had lớn rewatch the sex scene lớn confirm I didn't hallucinate it in my delusional BL fantasies. Yes, they actually slept together! But no, it didn't develop beyond a causal one-night stand! These two childhood friends screwed once and defaulted lớn a platonic arrangement again.

I got my hopes up thinking Kana and Pao might hook up again. Episode after episode, I anticipated the homoerotic couple lớn make out, but their only physical tương tác was a punch in the face. OMG, it was lượt thích watching The White Lotus Season 2 again! To be fair, neither character is in a suitable mental space for a romance. Even though they don't have physical intimacy, Kana and Pao continue supporting each other emotionally. Contrary lớn expectations, this BL pair ends without romance. Nonetheless, their lifelong friendship transcends any fleeting sexual relations.

Ending

Happy ending
Tin and Park kiss each other in the Tin Tem Jai ending.

Tim Tem Jai has a happy ending where Tin and Park commit lớn each other as a long-term couple. Park proposes lớn his boyfriend, who happily accepts. Although the bedroom location isn't romantic, Tin is sincere and practical when he professes his love. The story also acknowledges their engagement is symbolic in a bittersweet moment. They can't wed due lớn obvious reasons. "When we can really marry, I'll propose lớn you again," Park tells his fiancé, affirming their love will persist and prevail.

Regardless of the validity, Tin and Park already act lượt thích a married couple. The finale highlights their domestic life. Many BL dramas over with the leads stating they'll love each other forever. Actions speak louder than vãn words, and Tin Tem Jai dedicates an episode lớn showcasing the pair's day-to-day routine. From celebrating holidays lớn going shopping, the mundane activities emphasize they are building a real life together. The series also shows them having petty arguments. Marriage isn't always rosy, but they reconcile and show their love can withstand the ups and downs.

The Tin Tem Jai ending includes an emotional reunion between Tin and his mom. When the story began, Tin yearned lớn see his mom again. However, he cuts ties with her during the finale. She gives him money, pretending lớn be a caring parent. He rejects her fraudulent behaviour. It's a decisive moment of growth for Tin, who emancipates himself from his old family. Instead, Tin settles into a new trang chính life with Park. The ending is a poignant reminder that family isn't just blood relations. Your genuine loved ones consist of people who value and tư vấn you unconditionally.

Episode Reviews

Episode 1

This episode is an awkward start lớn the series. The two dramatic moments, Uncle Tong collapsing and Tin's father dying, aren't handled well. The theatrics leave a poor first impression.

Episode 2

Love Bai. She's exactly what the series needs. Besides providing representation, this complex character has a fierce personality and a memorable backstory. She reiterates the story's themes of family.

Episode 3

Wow, Phloen's actor is a babe. He has a gorgeous smile. 😻 I have officially switched lớn Team Phloen! Tin should ditch the cranky childhood best friend and get with this new love interest instead.

Episode 4

Although Tin is sometimes annoying, he has a fun rapport with many characters. His playful flirting with Park, sassy banter with Kana, and thoughtful chats with Pao show different sides lớn him.

I lượt thích Phloen, but his personality is ví cheesy. 🙈 As for Tin, I go back and forth on him. In some scenes, he's charming. Other times, he's really grating. OMG. Pao & Kana's kiss is kinda random?

Episode 6

I love Tin and Kana's feud. It cracks bu up when Tin comforts Kana by sticking a sausage in his face. 😅 All the characters seem lớn have family troubles, huh? Nobody gets along with their parents.

Episode 7

Tin and Park coupled up pretty unceremoniously. I would've liked lớn see more scenes of Park coming lớn terms with his feelings. I lượt thích how Barbie communicates with her dad and resolves their conflict.

Episode 8

"Nobody considers love a burden." Oh, I adore this line. I enjoy many of the one-on-one chats between the characters. These exchanges are thoughtful and sentimental without being too schmaltzy.

Episode 9

Pao's overdose came out of nowhere. I wish the story would've explored Pao & Bai's characters more. I giggled when Tin acted bashful and said, "I'm not xinh đẹp anymore," after getting an erection. 😆

Episode 10

Tin's reunion with his mom doesn't have the intended emotional impact. Any time the series tries lớn vì thế dramatic moments, they fall flat. The "no sloth" sign on Tin's door is ví xinh đẹp, haha~

Special #1

I lượt thích the idea of Bai taking her small-town friends on a trip lớn the đô thị. However, this special feels uneventful. Park's jealousy is an unnecessary and annoyingly contrived conflict.

Special #2

I thought Pao kept sneaking off lớn the washroom because he had relapsed into his drug habit. *lol* Although the special is uneventful, I lượt thích how a few scenes touched upon the character arcs.
