This was so funny. I enjoyed it and laughed a lot.
I wanted something not serious and this was perfect.
Ignore the reviews.

I cant think of a better reason to watch this. I was going to watch for Lee Long Shi, but the rest of actors deserve attention as well.

thanks.

I was made aware that the the novel was about the intrigue and politics but I wonder if the NNZee bl audience would have wanted that to be the focus as opposed to the romantic fairy tale. (If its about intrigue, an actor like Gun Atthaphan would have played the role well. Imagine how different the series would have been.)

Because its a NNZ vehicle (the focus being Romance and style over substance), I think they were trying to do too much (intrigue, political upheaval, injustice, the competition, succession etc). Instead they should have focused on one issue, the other two couples, and the NNZ romance.

Also I wonder who made the decision to cut out Ramil/Paytai and Calvin/Jay stories. Were egos involved? Or did they just not have time because they were all over the place focusing every where and missing every mark.

I know Im being harsh but I do want non GMM shows to be successful. And it annoys me when so much is spent on an uninteresting (unless your NNZ fan) vanity project.

PS nothing wrong with romance and style if done well.

Thanks
So 1 Q is 1 Day of shooting. Why dont they just say day.

I didnt know it took about 25 to 40 days to shoot a series. It does not sound that long - I would have thought much longer.

Neither am i an omegaverse fan, but that is not reason to be immature and spiteful and wish to deprive others who have done nothing to you.

What a cretin. Lets break other peoples toys because someone broke ours.

oh sh*t. This is not good.

thanks

This is also being shown on Viki - is it taking a break there as well?

Im surprised that this show has such a high rating of 8.2 when its so bland.
The show deserves points for expensive sets, no cringy music during nc scene, the costumes (even if i dont appreciate them ), and better than average bl camera work. But the scriptwriting, and engaging story are missing. And that is what should count.

If Ramil/Paytai and NetJJ were given more time, it could have kept the interest as their plots were more exciting . Or alternatively they could have been written in a manner to balance what was going on in in the main plot and give variety. NNZee are not enough to carry this show.

They put a lot of effort and money into this show, but Domundi made it all about their two favourite lead actors, and fancy costumes/sets. Ultimately, it feels like they produced a vanity project for the two leads, rather than creating a show interested in presenting a compelling story and script.

Edit some grammar

If i was an executive there i would be busy re-editing this series to give those couples more time - to salvage some of the show.

I preferred them when they did angst and emotions in Love Mechanics. They excelled in that.
Its your average action packed drama done by YW. Its average.
I fast forwarded it a lot.
I want to watch shows focusing on bl rather than action. If this was a straight action show it would never get these ratings/views. Its not compelling

I didnt like it. Its action and that is fine.
I enjoyed the angst and emotions and toxicity of love mechanics. They did that well.

Traditionally in fairy tales, a prince is more focused on governing a nation, a princess is more focused on costumes, being pretty and romance.

As a woman, I dont particularly like the fairy tales that condition us.

I have not made a value judgement on what is the correct way for a woman/man to behave. Live and let live.

The actor is portraying the character as being NuNew playing around in fancy costumes. There is no depth or nuance to the acting considering the position and situation he is in. Its like all his other performances. Its frivolous.

EDIT behavious/actions/clothing can be seen or categorised as more masculine or feminine without there being a value judgement.

I agree with your observations and he absolutely had sass from the start.

Despite my criticisms i want Domundi to do well because they are not GMM . Variety and competition is good. I dont just want fluffy high school shows (although GMM has improved there).

I just wish they had not put so many eggs in one basket.

That is actually interesting.

I dont know if the political intrigue taking centre stage would have worked for bl audience - particularly TNP audience who are mainly interested in romance, costumes and fairy tales.

I think the audience was misled by the way this drama has been told and the way it has been filmed and edited. We were set us up to have, or to imagine different expectations about his character.

He never came across as not passionate in fencing (he practised and corrected his errors to improve his fencing). He did not come across as spoiled in the first episode particularly with his behaviour towards his "father". He also an showed interest in his home country.

Maybe NN acting is not good enough to covey the complexity of the actual character you described in the novel. He comes across as a one dimensional bratty princess floating around in pretty costumes, and who has suddenly discovered that people suffer, and has taken an interest in "finding the truth", while his main passion and focus is chasing Charan for sexy times.

lol are you also looking for it. All Im seeing is a brat princess.

Of course she is busy. It takes time to stalk us all and write drivel. Just below this post (and ironically above my other post) she has written an analysis of sex scene that totalled 1347 words or 4 pages in word (i could not resist a word count for research purposes).

I am only watching this show because of people like her. This show may not be engaging but this comment board is. It makes me laugh.

lol - one grandma who considers herself an elite critical thinker but gets so emotional when her show and babies (NN +Zee) get attacked.
I would not be here if it weren't for those type of people.

Its hilarious because she has blocked me which means I cant see 60% of the posts here because she is everywhere.

Thanks for explaining. Some people have mental issues, and are toxic.
We dont need to like all the actors and can hate the plot but you dont cross the line to make it a personal attack. Its pathetic.
