This episode gave me so many mixed feelings... I really loved Choko from the original series, Nene Ohtsuka is a fantastic actress and she delivered the boss' wife perfectly by being both charismatic AND over-the-top. I couldn't say the same for this version's boss daughter who, let's be fair, is a way less experienced actress and doing comedy is definitely not an easy job... she came out as cringy in some scenes, but it was also definitely a director's choice. Aside from that, I think her character progress was pretty relatable: kid loves her mother's memory, wants to know her father's love interest and is jealous, realizes father deserves a second chance. Let's see how next week evolves!
That said, I really hope we could get more HengMo BossMo BossHengMo moments because their bickering is hilarious - both Earth and Mix are so into their characters. <3
Another thing... I somehow feel bad for the boss because his characterization here is more normalized than in the original japanese version, so he comes out as very pushy and control-freak but still very sweet and emotional. I feel like he's so afraid of Heng rejecting him that he's not even letting the man (the kiddo XD) speak, kinda like he's seeing Heng as the last possible "happiness option" and doesn't want it to crumble down. The only way out is Heng speaking the truth, but it'll never happen until the end because he's the goofiest, mat-like-man on earth. XD
Yotha is so hot and cold. Like I understand it’s stemmed from trauma but whew! exhausting lol I am so obsessed…
I think that sentence obviously hurt Gun, but it hurt Yotha too - he meant it to wish Gun's happiness and freedom because he knows he's a red flag, BUT it also hurt himself admitting it and realizing the possibility that Gun might not wait for him forever...
You're absolutely right. My problem with this pairing is that the producers/author are going to have them get…
First of all, I'm very sorry for your loss. At least now your loved one is somewhere where he/she can stop fearing.
Second, yes - every person is different and every therapy is different, the only way to win a fear/struggle is to confront it, understand it and overcome it... some medicines can help, but they can't do the work instead of you. The will to win must come from the person itself. Some people need months, some people need years. Some other people never make it.
You're absolutely right. My problem with this pairing is that the producers/author are going to have them get…
Yes, I recall that explanation but that kind of trauma usually gets addressed by the family as soon as it happens, since it's something pretty "evident" (and especially since Gun's family feels pretty wholesome)...
This really feels like lazy writing: while Yotha's type of "relationship" trauma might be something deeply buried into someone and therefore harder to address (many people don't feel the need to go to a psycologyst because they don't "see" the mental pain or struggle), a problem like Gun's is something way "easier to see" and therefore I'd expect his family to have addressed it as soon as the fact happened. I don't know how to explain, sorry... basically like Team's drowning trauma in Between Us or Ai's dark closet trauma in ISYiMD (the exact same thing btw... seems a lot of people get stuck in dark rooms in Thailand...)
I'm not complaining, mind me! XD It just simply feels like a very "comfortable" escamotage to give our characters the opportunity to hug. Like, instead of "falling from the stairs" or "stumbling on something and crash-kissing" or those predictable moments from old-school thailand dramas. XD
You're absolutely right. My problem with this pairing is that the producers/author are going to have them get…
On that, I agree... they needed more "insights" and less "seasights"... - although we'll get more of them throughout the next narrative arc too, so maybe we can see them develop their bond and work on their issues through FaifaWine episodes too.
Honestly, we haven't even talked about Gun's problem with light/darkness at night...
I feel like almost everyone here must have been Mahatma Gandhi or some famous love/life guru in their life at 18/19 years of age... if I recall my days, honestly everyday was trial and error: I got hurt, and hurt loved people. I though I knew what love was, but I didn't. I didn't know how to confront my fears, traumas and even desires... I made mistakes, and sometimes I was too afraid to admit it and to say sorry, doing even worse mistakes.
Let's be honest: learning to live and love takes time, and getting to know our inner self is another "mission impossible".
I can't blame either Yotha nor Gun, they come from completely different backgrounds and they're trying to experience things in their own ways, be it right or wrong, day by day. Not all people are brave heroes or relationship masters.
Do you know the cast who are taking their places later?
I also love Force, Off and Tay when it comes to these crazy games... but yeah, all of them are funny as hell, I never get tired of watching these clips because they make me cry from laughter XDDDD
I want his heart burn to ashes. He's ruin the series for me.
I like him too, I'm very curious about him and I love how Nut's making this character being borderline funny/sly/witty/cunning... he's probably the character I'm most interested in!
I'mma get lynched for this, but to be honest I'm not a fan of this ship: I dropped all their projects because I really can't stand their acting. BUT this pilot looked great and I'm usually loving these thriller/police/crime/mistery stories... so I really really hope I can enjoy this, and start appreciating both actresses too.
Anyway, the more GLs the merrier, so... keep them coming!
This one hurts.ThamePo was one of my most anticipated shows since it was announced and it started really strong.…
Actually those were my same questions when we saw the 5 of them normally walking around all together in a supermarket wearing no masks, no hoodies, no nothing and simply hanging around like normal people doing things... plus, what kind of documentary is Po filming since he's never actually filming anything?
I liked this episode, to be honest - and I'm liking Jun too, I really want to see where his actions are going although it's pretty clear he likes Po too. But yeah, I agree the whole "let's film a whole MV without anyone noticing, going at a bar, going to the cinema" parts were a bit off.
Almost four years ago, this adventure started.... and since then, Phupha and Tian never left my heart. As of now it's still one of my comfort dramas, I love watching their fanvids and rewatching the most memorable moments from the series... ATOTS will forever be one of my safe harbours. <3
I liked BillyBabe in The Sign but honestly I didn't expect them to actually become a ship... but I'm happy we can see more from them! :) This pilot was fantastic, although the similarities with IFLYTA were striking... we'll see.
PS.: can we stop giving Heng only sideroles? This guy acts better than half of the idols out there! Pretty please?
I'm really loving this, as I loved the Japanese version too, but I must say both are so "over-the-top" that you can either love them or hate them. I think these kind of overly-acted asian comedies are not everyone's cup of tea... and nothing's wrong with that, obviously.
Question: do we know how much of the original story does this thai version cover?
The first episode was hilarious as always, the blinded water balloon war was sooooooo damn funny! Love this cast too: I loved NamtanFilm from the first HS season and they were two queens already, but here we can really see how they bonded more in all this time they've spent together. Earth is so funny and goofy, honestly I didn't expect him to be like that since he's so "charismatic" and "mature-looking"... but he's one big baby child! XD And WinnySatang crack me up, Satang is the new Neo or Mark Pakin, always bragging and then always losing! XD
Aside from that, I think her character progress was pretty relatable: kid loves her mother's memory, wants to know her father's love interest and is jealous, realizes father deserves a second chance.

Our minds are an endless mystery.
Hugs to you.

Sammy is usually so chaotic, I can't wait to see her... plus OffGun always <3 <3
