Sweet and Spicy!

I just finished "Hit the Spot" on Viki and I can not say enough about it...I was hesitant to watch it at first, afraid that it would be too much like Fishbowl Wives, leaving me feeling uncomfortable and my inability to shake the feeling of seediness I had after watching it.This drama is a shocker to say the least as it has a very explicit 18+ scene within the first 5 seconds of the series... so be aware that this is not a safe for work or mixed company. I jokingly said to turn your volume down and close you curtains... but seriously, maybe use headphones .So you will either be left clutching your pearls and turn it off within 5 seconds, or if you give it a chance, you will find that this drama is a beautifully written story with honest dialogue that allows possibly taboo (health, emotional and sexual) subjects to be discussed in a healthy and often humorous way. Don't even get me started about how creative and artistic the filming is!Both lead couples are perfectly written to be human and flawed and you cheer for them throughout. The chemistry of both couples are on fire and has some of the best and most realistic kiss scenes I've seen in any kdrama ... Im thinking JCW must have given them some lessons ?Anyway there is ONLY 8 episodes at 30 minutes each... they are perfectly paced. I'm really wishing for a season 2! FINGERS CROSSED!

the subs being off r making it hard to understand some of the subtext of what's really being said. have noticed it for a while, but it is what it is... and yet u get the big picture. both Win and Team r getting close and not as lovers (a blessing IMHO), which has enabled Team to lower his guard and be more comfortable around Win. their interaction is more like good buddies, then adult friends. Team is comfortable acting the spoilt brat, allowing Win to baby him, something Win utterly enjoys. ********************given his relationship with his younger sibling, maybe he likes him better then his older brother (as he is comfortable in the role of care giver?). cause even though there might not be any animosity between Win and Wan, given what he said in the first ep, i feel like he does not feel as close or affectionate towards him. well like he said he is the "spare" considering he won't inherit, as he isn't the 1st born. *****************************************************************************************************************not that i blame him, cause Wan totally comes off - a self involved brat that's throwing himself a constant pity party. he the supposed adult in this equation. he doesn't like his life or the way his father is treating him, he - the adult that can do no more then play games on his freakin i-phone.(ノω<。)ノ go look for a job at another place that will appreciate u. nah he rather b*tch n moan. while the only thing i've seen him do to date is fight with Wiew, insult his father to his face and play with his i-phone in the lap of luxury meeh not a really likeable character. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also have to say, a last we get Manow acting like a normal, relatable character for a few sec's and then she back to overacting and acting plain crazy. guess that's supposed to be funny?!? pity, for a sec there i really started wanting to see more of her and Pruek. now hard pass

finally a healthy ending, that indicates at a budding romance to develop. cause until now, just cause Team was blinded by horniness, doesn't a healthy foundation for a romance make ¯\(°_o)/¯ that's why after every encounter to date, Team been running away from Win's shadow the day after. *************************************************************************************even after a consensual one-night-stand, u don't avoid (like the plague) coming face to face with the person u had that one-nightstand with. it only happens, when ur unsure or worse did something u regret... so yes Team always been conscious, but that doesn't mean he was ready mentally to deal with how he would feel afterwards, cause he was in over his head - his lack of experience coming into play with his ending up being confused. so am very, Very glad they have more then just animal magnetism going for them. as mentioned already, attraction is all good and well, but that doesn't a healthy lasting relationship make! *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also meaning to mention this from the start, was really worried by the multitude of side character's but was happy to see Sood/Tul just wish he got more of a plot. so will wait and hope Wan [Win's older brother] is a worthy character. *****************also really enjoying A, Bee & Sea they unexpectedly sweet, fun and funny. but not really liking what little i've seen of Prince - the vibe is off and i'm worried for Bee, hope am wrong. but at least the main plot is starting to get off on the right foot(⊙‿⊙;)

have to get this off my chest before anything…

have to get this off my chest before anything else, the sound-track is freakin annoying!! it's like whoever added it, didn't know what was going on in the scene it accompanied. this the 2nd ep that's just adding to my frustration (at what i'm seeing). ********the other annoyance, Samantha/Manow (i really like her), she's usually sweet n funny. here she's just cringe worthy. get she's just for comic relief. but she isn't funny and scenes with her r painful to watch, not to mention annoying ╰（‵□′）╯ why?!? *****she's so bad, that i feel sorry for Pruek - that's paired with her. he deserves better. the stupid blonde trope is an idiotic, dead trope - hope her character matures fast *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Team and Win in-spite of being rushed and unclear at points, have good chemistry - great interaction between them. they don't come off as false. but as in a blink of an eye they came together, it's hard to read what they really want from each other, what they really feel or think. their plot or relationship hasn't been thought through - which is a pity, cause it seems everyone is relying that their explosive chemistry will blur all the holes, in their rushed plot. which r still glaring to me and thus not really invested in them as a pair. ************************************************************************************************************yeah yeah even after watching that mind-blowing kiss by the pool. but after that, with Team asking "...neither was taking advantage of the other..." - when Win is older and the vice-president idk too shady. leaving me wondering what's what. anyway this not really a great/healthy basis for a long lasting relationship cause what we got now it just attraction - which can and will fizz out ¯\(°_o)/¯

donno where to start. just thankful i didn't start watching this when it started airing, cause i've got conflicted feelings. i'm one of those that loved this (main)couple, they were the ones i liked and rooted for in Until We Meet Again. so their spin-off was long over due IMHO... and now that it's here, have a bad feeling its gonna get blotched up (turn into a sad, weeping mess that UWMA was)⓿_⓿ ******************************************************************************************************************as is (and i get as this showing the start) we Again get a weeping Pharm, with clips (to boot) from UWMA. but that wasn't enough, cause now both Win n Team got their own traumatic back-plots(ノω<。)ノ feels foreboding, to say the least. and if anyone couldn't guess from what i've written until now No, i aint a fan of UWMA's main plot, that was overkill and annoying by the end ¯\(°_o)/¯ *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************back to this, as is from the start everything felt off - the acting, the pacing and the plot, and most of the actors in this (the mains) aint newbies ( ˘︹˘ ) but lets over look it. why the plot a mess? again lets put everything aside, n talk about the last scene - WTH was that? *********************************************************************************************************************yeah Win & Team got Great chemistry, but there was NO build up, that i saw. why?!? and the words to put a damper on everything, was Win telling Team to call him "Hai Win" doesn't that freakin mean older brother - something his younger sibling calls him every time he phones?!? (°ロ°) WTF is going on????? how weird is this gonna get - and why?!?? ugh hope this get's better *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************p.s great that we get consent and affirmation that Team's not blind drunk - bravo - progress! oh that and character's actually eating - another plus (but compared to the problems hmmm (ノω<。)ノ.... aish)

Tay Tawan is a precious bean.

Only recently I found myself watching Thai dramas and shows, and Tay has been a constant presence in them, since he is in one of the so-called "pillars" of GMMTV. I started watching this TV show because I love learning about other cultures and Tay's enthusiasm is unmatched. This particular episode - set in Chiang Mai during the preparation for the Thai New Year - sees Tay and a student of English interviewing a bunch of foreign tourists, and then Tay helping his Grandma cook. The interview section, with the two hosts speaking English to the people who aren't familiar with the culture is always nice, and it's been in the format since episode 1. The more lovely part of the episode, however, is when Tay arrives to his Grandma's house with a big smile on his face and he greets his older sister and already mentioned relative. Unfortunately, as I write this, I already know that Tay's Grandma passed away at the end of last year, so watching this episode felt very bittersweet, but I am glad that they managed to record how sweet their bond was. I love how fond Tay is of Grandma Nart, telling her he made merits so that he'd be her grandchild in another life, too, or wishing for her a long life, good health, and happiness every day. Overall, I found this episode very sweet, full of a familiar bond that was not fabricated for TV, which is very refreshing.
