That Rice - Koon - Pharaoh interaction stood out to me too! I got such bad vibes from it. Even if it was just…
Check my reply to TheFirstMichael2206 - because there is no point of copying it but if my theory there was true - it would make so much sense and nicely fit together.
I do think there's more to Pan's beginnings than they said.As for Rice - she was just checking him out, both alone…
Maybe but Pharaoh was very in tune with her - as she shot him this look - you know what to do - like they did it many times before. It might not be mistreatment but sending ( I watched long time ago real crime story where a child murderer always took his nephew with him when he planned to kidnap next victim. Children seeing another child in the car felt safe to get a lift from him - this situation really reminded me of that story) Pharaoh to scout / get to know him better so she would have another fresh meat in future to dangle in front of creepy sponsors. Next episode snipped with Pat parents situation might be also some sort of clue. What do you do if you don't want your victim to speak up? Find a weakness or make one so they won't or not be able to do it. Children of well off families feeling that something is fishy would straight up say - fu*k off and run to their parents. But children of poor families in desperate need of money? Koon swapping in and saying i will pay for your father /mother's treatment but you need to work for me - they would feel greetful and would endure some very fishy situation feeling like they don't have choice. They might even be grateful to Koon for giving them the opportunity.
I think that Pan doesn’t like Pharaoh, especially sharing with him, bc he may be the one who’s sleeping with…
I think if Koon assaulted Pan - he wouldn't let her touch him. I think she play more of middle person role - because she is smart. If i get her character properly she is kind of person who wouldn't straight up assault people but would make actors come to her thinking that if they benefit her - she would benefit them. In this way upcoming actors would want to keep her happy (maybe by offering sex) so she can introduce work to them.

Look up - I wrote comment about my scam theory. Also the way Pan just can't stand Pharaoh, there is something more to it. While Koon and Pharaoh have this soundless communication from time to time.

No - Pharaoh. If you look up you will see my theory about scam - i think Pharaoh is Koon subordinate and they might scam people together in the past and still sleep together from time to time
Theory time - When Pan was trying to get on the director good side while eating a meal and director (jacket really? - he must be sweating like hell) commented on scammers who promised to help children get into the entertainment industry. In that scene, both Pan and his manager's reaction was super weird - Koon especially. It was like she had a guilty coincidence - so is it possible that she was involved with that? Pan said Koon convinced his parents 5 years ago, when he was paired with Nott 3 years ago - leaving us with a window of about 2 years. Then we had this scene with a new kid (before the event) Rice where Koon looked at him as a product for sale. It might be simple scouting but the way Pharaoh was in tune with her, made me think he might be part of the scam too and that is why Pan doesn't like him so much.
Wow, looking at their fan meet and now in hindsight ... I think that fight was bigger than we saw, had more damage…
It might be several small things that snowballed together - Ohm and Nanon are sold as friends and rival ship which is even show in their Ohm Nanon level up and various events - nonstop competition even friendly is draining. Gmmtv really should let them cooperate more and compete against other people.
just because a drama has a good production doesn't always mean it's the best. i like watching thai dramas because…
I wonder if original poster even watched one episode... it less than a day since this account was made and already behaving like a troll... Anyway production quality of kdramas might be better now - but they are too stuck up in their ways while thai dramas visibly improve every year
From what i know Gun is now having workshop for The Three GentleBros so they won't finish till September/ october so the earliest they can start filming is around that time... this mean we probably won't get home school this year
About this drama, the problem isn't the acting. Even the most seasoned actor(s) would have trouble selling this…
Problem is they are already moving on with the plot - Puean already fallen in love with Taley and confessed his feeling (a milestone for rom-com)- plot is developing but it didn't feel so because they failed at character establishment phrase. Who is Taley?
Not sure if you ever played charades? Bear with me for a moment and lets do BL edition - A character who is pointing hand shower to his face as he crying heart- brokenly? Third image probably appears in your mind - the expressionless boy put on a black baseball cap as he drinks can of black coffee (Semenatic Error) - Smiling boy take off his shirt and show his muscles as he obsesses over his bf dimples - Pat from BB - Porshe gestures a moment before he jumps off the ship. Now your turn to do Taley - kinda difficult right?
Just by non-verbal cues actors can establish character but Sea and Jimmy - can't do it. There is nothing wrong with that and it don't make them bad actors because they are rookies and can still progress. There are also other ways to establish character - social interaction and exposition are most popular ones. But since it body swap drama social interactions are not a way to go leaving us with exposition and monologues. Kuea from the recently popular Cutie Pie is a good example - since he was also rookie and could not establish his character with just no verbal cues, in editing and storytelling they helped his establish his character by introduction to his character and then monologues as Kuea talk to himself in various episodes. It might not be subtle but it help viewers connect with the character. Of course, it simplified version but you already get gist of it.
Not sure if I explained it clearly - but in short - the director and scriptwriter didn't adjust storytelling to Jimmy and Sea current ability. They failed at the establishing character of Taley - that is the core of the story - by making him almost transparent. Making viewers feel it going too fast / slow because they didn't understand Taley. Is he more upset or not as time go by? Is he more accepting now or not, and why? What was Taley baseline emotional state? When it comes to human relationship story - the core of storytelling lay in the emotional state of the main character and how viewers connect to his emotional state. This way we can relate - something like this happened to me too. / don't even try to hurt him / how could he do it to our... / I just hate that character / that character is a better person than me - I would just dump him etc.
Next episode snipped with Pat parents situation might be also some sort of clue.
