To those questioning the Shone character, remember this still is a drama. We have to inject some story somewhere. When done right, subversion of expectations can be a good thing in a story and we have a prime good example here. If the audience was expecting a love triangle, the fact that Shone took a step back is quite a good thing. This is one of the few dramas where the coming of age is done well, needing no more drama than that already presented. This show is also full of subversions. In the beginning we thought that Moo was really going to be lynched. Kang thought so too, only to have the mob having other motives. For the Tae Payos questioners I say at this point it is a one-sided love. Aun is playing it quite well. We see the unrequited love from Payos, but, apart from the awkward moments, we don't see it being returned. I think their friendship is very believable and feels organic. IMHO this is one of the few BLs where both couples are equally interesting.
Lin Zu Yuan seems to not age! The only thing I'm left wanting from this almost perfect story is a little more background on Wei Zhi Yuan. Where did he come from? What caused him to become a street child? Aside from that, the character development and pace of the story was perfect. There was actual growth and change. There was development among all the characters in every episode. Looking forward to more of Priest's works being actualized in dramas!
Epic concept. Wasted Xion. You have a good set-up with Miss Becky narrating. While not my favourite character, she can be a good narrator. The 1st story was a nice one, but, as always, your writing and execution are not there. We never really saw the development of the relationship properly. Even in that short time proper dialogue and actions could have given us just that: development! A proper script! Most of the time it is obvious the actors are adlibbing. Is it that hard to write a script? For reference any of the Thai Club Friday episodes could give you how to adapt true stories and develop them via character exploration. If nothing, this first episode proved two things: 1. Hiro is a great actor, even in the adlibbing department 2. Xion needs to spend his money on writers and a good director.
I think GMM added a new trope. Instead of the slip, fall, kiss, they gave us eating nuts, one falls on the ear, nibbling of ear :D Well done GMM! Poor Koy. Why is she the wipping mom of GMM? Anytime we need something bad to happen to an older female character, we cast Koy. Well at least her sorry, so far, was her husband died before the series. Hope she lasts throughout all the episodes!
How namtan became so beautiful? I know she was beautiful always but damn she was out of the world in this episode
She's so perfect! She has amazing chemistry with whoever she's on screen with! Never expected to see her play against Earth, but they make a great pair.
I shed a few tears because this show has ended, it has given me mid-week joy with its silliness and quirkiness…
Yes! Seeing Yoh as an old man was sweet, beginning to end, but a montage of their adventures would have been really nice. To actually see Yoh grow old with Pun.
I can't see why this one is so low! It wasn't perfect by any means, but had a nice, character driven story. For 2024 so far I'd say it's in the top 20, maybe even 15, so far. A nice, humanistic approach to the classic vampire story. It's way better than the British modern adaptation of Dracula. If I'd change anything it would be to start as a historic and interlace the present into it. It didn't need to be full out, but just some basic scenes. We still needed to see what the marriage promise between Pun and Janja to understand that past. We needed to see where Pun decided that pork blood soup was better than human blood. I'm also a sucker for stories with reincarnation. Bringing that feature in from early would have added another dimension to the story. We could have also been able to explore the classic Western vampire concept in a Buddhist/ Thai/ tropical way.
I love seeing my favorite GMM female stars in the main roles. Namtan is so terrifically talented and her skills are wasted as the female in BL's. She was so utterly amazing in The Player as the main baddie. Here, again, she has amazing chemistry with her co-stars. The characters are all fun in their own way. I'm very happy to see a project of this nature, where these actors get to play different roles.
I love the moms in this drama...Mek's mom to Prof: "... you're my future daughter-in-law's friend."Pretty: "Mom...…
Yes! I love how Mek's mom started out seemingly toxic, but is quite supportive of her son's true love. She's not really standing in the way of the relationship, nor thinking Pretty is a gold digger.
What a ride! The opening episodes never hinted that this would become a psychological thriller. The writer conveyed that not all characters you think are good are that. Everyone has their moments and faults. The ending is open and left to interpretation but it's a good ending. There are too many horror/ suspense movies/ series that end all honky dory and happy. Finally, a character who survives asks a major question: how did we get to this point without an investigation and consequence? Even if they are still in the house or reality it is sad to see how losing White affected Tee. The relationship was so perfectly built up. Yes, we feel sorry for White, the only truly innocent character, but his death would be very telling on Tee. A special would be great, possibly with a new cast exploring the house. Hope we see this soon!
EP.8 has this "time" locked USB everywhere, are they selling USB now?We begin with Bew gone psychotic, and talk…
If "Foam" came from the future why is he not top in the acting lessons? Shouldn't he already be the "best" at acting since he's already a star in the future? There seems to be many, many USB's. Maybe several customers loose flash drives every night at the club? When Tar told them about Chris saying something I rewound the episode to see if I missed something. Are we ever going to know what he said?
