FOR THOSE LOOKING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS SERIES, HERE'S THE MYTHOLOGICAL BACKGROUND TO HELP YOU GRASP THE UPCOMING…
I'm enjoying the use of the Abbot to move the mythological/ religious part forward. This makes it seem like more of a bigger picture than if it was just the Naga and Garuda. The entire mythology feels as old as religion and something ever-present, and not some side plot.
It would have been funny if On and his GF were the noisy neighbours :D
Namtan is such an amazing actress! She can have chemistry with a broomstick if needed. She and Mark make a striking on-screen couple I never thought I'd see, much less want to see.
This is just the perfect combination of story, well-written characters, chemistry, and a skilled director coming together for something greater than the sum of its parts. Aof is getting the best out of these actors. His close-ups are just timed perfectly to express emotion without being annoying. Honestly, I've never seen Jimmy this expressive.
This is, so far, the best of 2023 and among the best of GMM of all time. Ony some huge cock-up can spoil perfection, and at the rate there going I doubt this will happen.
I've seen people complain aboout this, but couples can end relationships and still remain friends. I think Rung is also a unifying force between them both. She was really close to Phojai and I think that cements their friendship.
Firstly, does Tay age? He looks the same as when I started his bio page after Room Alone! That was almost 10 years ago!
I was sort of afraid that the Thai adaptation wouldn't be good but GMM has proven me wrong! So far the story is storying, the acting is great, and the side characters are amazing (here's looking at Jan, a beauty second only to the great Namtan).
Yes, we have the Japanese version, but this is its own thing! I like how they even explain why the staff wear suits. One throw-away line about it being company policy was just perfect.
GMM has adapted several stories and did them as well or better. F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers was way better than the original, and Who Are You was quite a good Thai retelling of Who Are You: School 2015.
To those saying Samsi is there for laughs, I find myself laughing with him and not at him. He is a good actor with epic comedy timing. Dome has great chemistry with Aungpao. They play off each other well. That being said I'm happy to see some actors who don't fit the mold of the perfect Bl archetype appearing in good roles. I'm also happy that Gun gets these sorts of more forward roles. Initially, GMM seemed to cast him in more weak and damsel-in-distress roles, but he can sure hold his own as a protagonist hero.
The extended advertising for Toyota is fascinating....I didn't think needing a battery on a car thar seemed completely…
Why would the 12v battery need replacing in a relatively new hybrid so soon? Toyota should have thought that one over. If they said the battery in Peach's Crown (sexy car BTW) needed changing and Toyota still supported it that wold have beed epic!
Shin convinces Peach to spend the night at his house. He wants them to sleep together and spend as much time as…
I think the only ever real BL that had a good message for the community was Gaya Sa Pelikula and, maybe before that, Hanging Out was a good attempt. Unpopular opinion: BL's are now just an industry to flash "handsome" guys that the fandom will eat up, get max merchandising (Jula's Herb, Toyota, Oishi) with hardly any real originality. Super unpopular opinion: Cutie Pie is really a horrible story supporting arranged marriages and unhealthy relationships, yet the majority of comments for it are along the lines of, "They looks so cute together" and " So an so looks so handsome when they kiss."
Project S was epic in its own right, but very short. It was my favourite sports themed Thai drama. Last Twilight is like a longer version of a Project S story where we are getting to know all the characters, even the team members who are not even in the story! Well done!
Guy is a better tracker than most of the gangstas, to see Thiu at the milk stand, then at the restaurant. The Mafia could use someone with his keen sense of observation :D
I loved how the mythology is so interwoven into the story. The Abbot is an important character. He speaks to the mythical creatures. Loved how he answered, "I'm only doing my job."
I am in LOVE with this series.I love how it is focused on romance, but at the same time they do not make that…
I love how the guys feel real. Yes, they are police officers in trainng, a serious job, but they are young, in their early 20's. They act like guys at this age level!
So nice to see Ngern again in another BL.. he needs a leading role pronto.
He's getting more range in his emotions. In Love Sick and Part Time he only had one look. Love in Translation showed he coud really act. I think he's ready for mainstream again.
