This was such a lovely and interesting show, mixing funny moments with travelling and culture... and both Pond and Phuwin were great hosts! It'd be lovely to see another series like this!

I'm loving this as much as the japanese original!
I can't stop laughing at every episode and when I'm not it's only because my heart is melting out of cuteness overload or from the deeper moments! <3

The Boss is a totally different character but I like the choices they made with him, it makes the whole series more interesting and relatable!

And... Devil Earth, I need one too please. :D

I can't stop saying that whoever paired Bonnie and Sing as siblings is a genius.
These two have the same adorable eyes and cheeks and round cutie face. <3

Ahahah yes I know! I actually like both James and Net too, it's just that there are so many series out there that I hadn't time to watch it yet! XD

Haven't watched either dramas, although I should watch Bed Friend sooner or later for that final TutorYim "pre" to their story!

I'd watch hundreds more hours of Faifa, so no, you're not the only one who's waiting for FaifaWine arc. :D

Fun thing is, it was actually the part I was LESS interested in when the drama began... but Faifa grew on me so much, I can't wait to see more!

This might very well be one of the worst mothers ever - the only good thing of her appearance in this episode is that we got a wonderfully acted emotional scene in which both Junior and Perth were A M A Z I N G.
I cried all my tears together with them, and I especially felt for Faifa because the poor guy's basically being abandoned again and again by this disgraceful woman, both in facts and in words!

Loved the ending of YothaGun story, although some things were definitely rushed... but this final episode was so funny, the questionnaire scene was hilarious!

Faifa still my favourite character from beginning till here... plus, loved his singing! I never noticed Junior had such a nice and mellow voice!
Can't wait to see FaifaWine story!

Just randomly jumping by to scream

POOOOOOOOOND!!

and

PETERPAAAAAAAAAAN!!

:P

I wondered about that too, and honestly since Fujisawa is basically controlling everything in Nakarai's life, I thought that the mail were similar because Fujisawa himself created the mail for Nakarai using his own name, like a dog who's marking the territory... and therefore also being able to check the mails in case something happens.

First episode was pretty slow and introductive, I'd agree - and to be honest there is never a "point" in which things get "more"-something. It just gets deeper and deeper, slowly and inexorably, although there are some moments in which you feel a big drop has fallen and it has almost filled the vase.
I don't know how to say it, but it's like watching something slowly falling and sinking into some kind of depths and just standing there, being unable to lift a finger.

(But I think you either would love this, or find it completely boring - no inbetween).

Nooooo T_T
The cast was so interesting, but I guessed so since Junior is pretty busy being a main lead on other series now that JuniorMark's ship set sail...

But jeez I need Tonnam in a series soon T_T

Yes yes I know, and since he's been doing support/guest roles since forever, somehow I kinda understand his choice - he's a good actor and he has proven it throughout all his (support) roles up to now, so I would have loved to see him at least in a second male lead character... GMMTv aside, I hope he's happy wherever he goes and whatever project he's doing (be it with his girlfriend or not). <3

For as much as I love FirstKhao and Joong, this drama lacks something for me and it just can't keep me wanting for more.
I think they stretched it way too much with so many long, slooooooooow and overly repetitive dialogues and that basically contrasts with the dynamic idea and characters.

All boys are giving it their all, and although I keep on NOT liking Dunk as an actor (mind, I'm not an anti-fan: he's a great idol, MC and a very funny yet professional guy), I must admit he did get better and better since his beginnings. Still, his problem is that "it shows that he's acting" - it's in his movements, gestures, posture, face... but anyway, I'm loving his character and all in all I can bear with it because he does have such an amazing chemistry with Joong.

More Pepper please! <3

I just found the time to go through episodes 9, 10 and 11 and as I'm watching episode 10 I absolutely had to stop to say: how good does Pepper look in that all-grey outfit? *_*

Plus - I'm always shocked when I remember William is (almost to be) 20yo, he has such a powerful charisma!

Oh, wow! That kiss was totally unexpected, but - yes, please! o.o

And although she interrupted, gotta love Baifern... she was so nice saying all those things and worrying about her friend! Plus, Ciize is so cute I just can't stop smiling and giggling when she's on screen! <3

Only two episodes left... I love how Jdramas manage to built up the tension and the characters, they are like violin strings just waiting to snap...!

And on a sidenote, I find Thai cooking very interesting! There are zero restaurants nor shops nor people from thailand where I live, so I am always intrigued by the recipes and the ingredients!

I just found this out and immediately bingewatched the 6 episodes and the cooking shorts... it was such a fun watch and a very interesting concept!
I love how these idols are showing their personalities and are working together, each with his own talents, strenghts and weaknesses. I work in the food business and honestly I'd even hire a few of them, they would make my days brighter for sure! XD

PS: yes, it would have been great to have an actual feedback on the dishes but that's not what the whole show was about - the purpose was to create something "unique", an experience for both actors and fans, and I think the fans were the happiest people ever! I wonder how much did the fanticket for the dinner cost, does someone know?

Honestly I was feeling bad for Namtan too, she wasn't just scared: she was deeply terrified and it broke my heart. T_T
