You will get that feeling that you know what is the story but somehow it does not fit watch you are watching and yet you keep watching it? It will not serve you all the details in a silver platter, the build up is a deliberate messy like from episode to episode just when you have a theory in mind, it gets thrown off the window on the last scene of each episode. Or is it?Ĭonfused? That is the general approach in its story-telling.
This is definitely not a linear, progressive story-telling. Rewatch Value 5.0 The allure of confusion. Mind Trio have announced that there may be a season 2 if they find sponsors.

But if you are willing to open your mind, to be surprised, to wonder, to look for hints, and to let a completely unusual Bl series put a spell on you, you will experience a most beautiful journey into the unknown, and the happiest sad ending of all times.

Meen Nattakrit as Tiew comes across a little superficial in the beginning, but that is deliberate, because he shows his full acting skills in the later episodes. Rossi Nonthakorn as Mon/Mork is simply brilliant – other actors won't be able to express with all their body and face what he can express with his eyes. The cinematography is just great, the writing excellent, the directing very good, the editing with only very few flaws, the settings in Chiang Mai and the mountains of Northern Thailand are breathtaking sometimes, and the atmosphere which is created by images and music has made me indescribably happy like no other Bl series before.Īnd then there are the actors. What makes this series so outstanding is the fact that all elements are amazing. Like the three ”Once in memory” short films which were produced by the same production company, MindTrio, ”On Cloud Nine” is another example of what a small company can achieve with creativity and dedication. At the end of every episode it felt like torture having to wait a whole week before getting more hints – this series is a masterpiece of suspense. Only this much about the story: It is mysterious, philosophical, confusing, absolutely unique, and it is not being told in a linear way, but even if you don't understand what's going on in the earlier episodes, it will glue you to your screen.
