Ramphueng is the living (...ghostly...?) proof that, for as much pain you can suffer, vengeance is NEVER the solution - her rage and desperation, although understandable and relatable (as a woman I was hurting so bad for her story), have caused a chain of devastation, suffering and misery that will stop only with forgiveness. No guilt should ever be passed on to children and grandchildren.
This drama is so so SO beautiful, it brings so many threads together and every character has a role in this tapestry! Plus the actors and cinematography are really top tier... I loved how this episode didn't have useless sweet fanservice moments, it was true to itself from start to finish!
I had quite some busy weeks so I felt I just couldn't watch ep7&8, because i KNEW they needed silence, time, dedication. Finally, tonight was the night and I took the chance to finish this series. I was expecting to cry million of tears, instead everything felt like an already antipated stab into my heart, that clicked and fit perfectly with how fragmented, shitty, and devastating life really is.
I loved this series - with a strange kind of love: not the enthusiastic anticipation that a fluffy BL (I'm thinking Magic Prophecy) gives, nor with the adrenalinic excitement that action series have (yes Khemjira I'm talking about you)... still, with a love made out of all the small details, all the care and passion put into the acting, the plot, the cinematography... the meaningful scenes and quotes and dialogues and struggles of every character.
This really felt like reading an enthralling novel, more than watching a drama. 10/10 for me.
And, sidenote - all gods be thanked for the beauty of Apo, and the amazing performance of Euro & Son.
Grandma looks like she came straight out of Sylvester & Tweety, BUT WITHOUT all the fun.
...I'm loving this series and the cliffhangers at the end of the episodes are killing me, but CH31 should work a bit more on the soundtracks... sometimes it feels we're watching an horror series, right after we're inside a tango lesson and five seconds later we're having adrenalinic music like there is no tomorrow. ^^'
Probably not the most revolutionary show out there, but it was the show that made my weeks end in a positive, round, smooth and heartwarming note. As always Jimmy & Sea totally LIVED in their character's shoes, I loved how they grew from strangers to lovers and how they helped each other cope with life and family issues.
The story itself was nice but the "mistery" wasn't that misterious, but all in all... who cares? I didn't really feel like that was the main theme of the show: this was a character-driven series and I ended up loving each and every character in the show.
Only negative note for me: Franc. I'm sorry, I like the guy, but he definitely cannot act. He needs serious acting lessons if GMMTV wants to keep giving him roles.
Hope to see Jimmy&Sea again in another interesting project... they always manage to find nice stories in which they can display their acting range!
I woke up at 6.30am to go to work and I worked all the way till 00.30 with no breaks today, 18 hours straight AND YET I couldn't go to sleep before watching the new episode.... and omg I'm so happy, this was pure perfection! I'm dead tired but these two hours felt like minutes, the direction was perfect and Peem/Khem's bed scene was probably the most beautiful love moment I've ever seen in a Thai drama: it was beautifully shot, beautifully acted, no movement and no expression was out of focus! My heart is probably made of ice-cream because it just melted with all that happiness and tenderness, I cried. <3
PS.: can we do a petition to have Keng shirtless for at least every half episode? ^^' There are indeed many beautiful actors in Thailand and Asia in general, but his features border on perfection!
Looking for some takes on the series from watchers who are indifferent to the BounPrem ship. I like supernatural…
I started this because of BounPrem (although I'm not really a fan, it's just I like their acting and chemistry usually) but for me it lacks sparks: especially the dialogues are so flat and predictable! The acting is pretty good from almost all the cast: I had no doubts on Boun, and also Prem got better project after project... I usually like Mark too, but I'm especially pleasently surprised with Aun who fits very well in his role! On the other hand Barcode and Kapook, who I usually like, don't seem to click in these roles...
Honestly it feels like something is missing, and even BounPrem's chemistry, which usually is really great and magnetic, lacks in both tension and intensity.
I'm on ep5 but I will probably drop it because, although the story is pretty interesting, there are just SO MANY series airing lately that I'll leave this for another time.
Am I the only one who's more captivated by the chemistry of the main couple? I mean, I like the second couple…
I love both couples equally, but in different ways - they represent different shades of love in different stages of life (although Jet, Khem and Charn have the same age and only Master is older). This might be the first drama in a long time in which I am invested in all four characters and in both love stories - but, although Jet might be my fav character among the four, the slow burn between Khem and Master has me hooked so much!
It kinda reminds me of those intense, powerful and meaningful stares in chinese censored series... in which one single stare is sexier and hotter than two hours of NC scenes! XD
if you rewatched that last scene more than 5 times please indicate i think I'm going crazy ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
*came here after watching that ending scene for the 3276872354 time and to scream: how damn magnetic is Keng! although I've seen this scene hundreds times I still get hypnotized by the intensity of his eyes!*
I was waiting for Pearl in a new role, and here we are - with quite a nice one too! I just bingewatched the first three episodes and this drama gives me so much "To Sir, with Love" vibes I know I will love it! Unfortunately the acting isn't at par with JamFilm in that series, BUT the boys are doing a nice job here too.
(Plus, I love how tragic and cringe is the dramatic acting in most lakorns, I'm surprised I'm already so used to it that it doesn't bother me anymore, instead I find it amusing...! XD)
I already love both characters' personalities and the fact that, altough they seem very different, they basically both speak of care and kindness, just in different ways. I also hope they can keep music as an important, connecting element between them, that would be lovely and interesting!
I was hesitant to watch any censored adaptations like this, but I'm so glad I gave this series a chance. They…
Honestly I feel more intensity in the stares and gestures between Wen KeXing and Zhou ZiShu, than in many NC scenes or kisses out there. The love, care, respect, loyalty we can feel in their relationship is so well-told, I still watch some scenes almost every day because they are my personal cup of happiness and warmth.
Totally unrelated, but when I saw Gong Jun in some of these pictures, with this make-up and clothes, I thought that he would be a perfect Legolas if China ever decides to do a chinese reboot of LOTR. ^^'
I thought that "you'll get sunburned" comment was a warning for Pong because he took his shirt off, but…
I thought the same, that it was something like a subtle jealous karma warning, like: "be careful, if you show off by taking your shirt off you might get sunburnt as a result" and it actually really happened, since his flirt backfired and he got friendzoned
They can't leave me hanging like that wtffffff dsfnoainv
I BET Khem will accidentally push one of the radio's buttons right before their lips touch, so the music will start, they'll get scared and the kiss won't happen....
*it's sunday and I'm still holding my breath and rewatchingrewatchingrewatchingrewatching the last five minutes from episode 7*
This episodes' ending is on par with the endings of ep5 of Bad Buddy and ep8 of Not Me... in which EVERYTHING just blends in together perfectly: music, acting, direction... honestly, I cried because I could totally feel Master's inner struggle through his subtle yet tense and painful emotions. Such a great performance from Keng!
