Thats not the only thing I was focused on, I think Win flashed us unintentionally🤭😭😂

Exactly! The book had solid material that didn’t need to be messed with. Staying true to RP’s original personality wouldn’t have meant less screen time for the main couple - it would have made the story way stronger. Adding all that extra angst so late just feels forced, and trying to fix it in one rushed episode is setting the show up to fall flat. They really missed an opportunity to do justice to the source.

Have not watched Y-Destiny yet. But maybe this is a sign to watch it?

Absolutely, we do have a responsibility to call out the quality or lack thereof in these shows. If we don’t, the bar will just keep dropping and we’ll end up accepting anything mediocre just because of fandom hype.

@Sapphicace really nailed it with those points. Blind support doesn’t help anyone - creators, actors, or fans - because it lets subpar content slide when it should be challenged. Self-respect means holding everyone accountable so the industry can actually improve.

Yeah, I am looking on the brightside by reading the comments section😂

I have not started this anyways so your better than me for even attempting it🤣😭

I totally get where you’re coming from. Sometimes people get way too defensive over things that are literally illegal or taboo in most places - it’s like logic just doesn’t register. And yeah, when they start reporting comments instead of discussing, it feels like they’re way too emotionally invested… maybe for some pretty weird reasons! (Them reporting because truth hurts, they must be into their cousins or something)

Girl don't make me feel that bad. My hopes are low after TNP...

Oh okay

If you’re only hearing “I hate it” and immature stuff, maybe you’re just tuning out the real, thoughtful criticism. It’s not that it’s not there - it’s that it gets buried under defensive fans like you who dismiss anything that’s not praise.

And seriously, calling people “nursery school” just because they have a different opinion? Grow up. If you want a mature discussion, start by treating everyone with some basic respect instead of acting like gatekeeper of what counts as valid criticism.

Comparing people’s opinions to "poo in your toilet" is exactly why discussions around shows like this get so toxic. If you want people to be specific and respectful, try modeling that yourself first. Not everyone has read the books or is interested in doing a full rewatch before sharing their thoughts - and that’s perfectly valid.

You’re entitled to enjoy the series and form your opinion based on the books, but that doesn’t make other viewers’ reactions less valuable. People are reacting to what’s being presented on screen, not what could’ve been if the show followed the source material more closely.

This is a comment section, not a literary panel. Let people express their thoughts without trying to flush them down with snark.

Actually, no - I’m not following your reviews. I commented on the show, not you. Not everything is about you, and not everyone who criticizes the series is secretly tracking your posts. Let’s not make it personal when we’re talking about a public drama with mixed reactions.

Just because some people enjoy TNP doesn’t mean it’s above criticism. The truth is, the show has major issues - weak writing, uneven pacing, and it leans heavily on Zee and NuNew’s popularity to keep people watching. If they weren’t attached to this project, it wouldn’t be getting half as much attention.

Saying “don’t watch it if you don’t like it” completely ignores the point of criticism. People are allowed to call out problems in a series, especially one that was hyped up and had a decent budget. Not everyone is going to blindly praise something just because it features popular actors.

And let’s be real. Zee and NuNew’s names were used to carry this show. That doesn’t mean the series itself is solid. Star power can’t cover up lazy storytelling or lack of depth. Not everyone calling it out is a hater. Some of us just expect better, especially when the industry is capable of delivering better.

Being a BL drama doesn’t give it a free pass. If the goal is to see the genre grow, then pointing out where it falls short is part of that. Not every fan is going to settle for cute moments and pretty faces. Some of us want quality too.

“Loads of money” is obviously relative, but in the Thai BL industry, a 100 million baht budget is considered large. Most productions operate with far less, so in that context, it absolutely stands out.

That said, I actually agree with you about the ads. They were intrusive and did affect the pacing of the early episodes. Just because a show has a bigger budget doesn’t mean it’s immune to clunky sponsorship deals, especially in markets where ad revenue plays a bigger role in covering production costs.

But comparing this to Friends or US productions isn’t really fair. The economies, audience size, and financial structures are completely different. Of course $3 million wouldn’t go far in Hollywood, but in Thai BL, it’s enough to noticeably raise production value, which this series clearly tried to do with elaborate sets and costumes.

You’re also right that Zee and NuNew have the potential to break into international markets, and stronger English skills could definitely open more doors for them. Still, that doesn’t take away from the fact that this is already a high-budget production within its own industry. It’s not a Hollywood blockbuster, but it doesn’t need to be to make a strong impact where it matters.

Unfortunately..

I found it, but the quality is terrible as well as the subtitles.

Okay✨

No its a shame its been cancelled😭😭🥹

twinsies 😫✨

I think the ring guy did not like Guy A. Guy A was in an unrequited love with ring guy, as ring guy was in a relationship during their college/university days with the dead guy whom they were attending the funeral for.
