Guys there are alot of comments of people saying this is a comedy? is it really? I don't want another comedy vampire…
Boun has said it's not a comedy. Just like a comedy cam have dramatic elements, a drama can still have comedic elements without being a comedy. I don't really understand where all the comments are coming from saying it's a comedy lol. There were a couple scenes that were funny/silly, but overall, not comedy.
What do you mean that awful couple will be here as well? STAY IN SEASON 1!
By that logic, we wouldn't be getting a season 2 at all. If the couples stayed in their respective seasons, we wouldn't know Tonfah, Typhoon, Arthit, or Daotok. Just as the main couples for season 2 are the side couples in season 1, the main couples in season 1 are the side couples in season 2. They interact with each other, and are crucial to story development in each other's stories.
Does anyone like Prem's performance? He only has one expression, he's up against Dunk for worst actor.
Honestly, I recommend watching the special they released last week. They explain a lot about each character, and Punn is a very closed person. Several cast members even said something like him having a secret. So far, to me, his performance follows the character quite well.
OK, I loved it. I know some people are still butthurt about it "not being dark" and "turned into a comedy," but, damn, can't we watch it in its entirety before throwing it in the bin? I take all Thai BL shows with a grain of salt, because I recognize it's made in a country who's culture is not the same as mine. Yes, they want international fans to be happy, but they're going to cater most to the people who live in the same country. And Boun has been spearheading this project for so long, I will gladly support and watch this with a goofy smile on my face knowing he's been able to complete his project.
for those who have read all the novels, do you think 8 episodes per story is enough? cause i just started reading…
I think for GerNao, it will be enough, but for FahPhoon and ThitDao, only maybe. It all depends on how closely they stick to the novels. Some things can be cut down for sure. Like the end of ThitDao's story is like 2 extra episodes worth lol, but I don't think it's necessary for the main story of the show to show that stuff. It would be a good special episode, though. For FahPhoon, I think certain things can be cut without hurting the story, but I don't want them to because FahPhoon are my favorites, so I'm biased (I just started rereading their book because I love it so much lol). For FahPhoon, I think if they pick up in the second year where season 1 ended and just have flashbacks of the where the book begins, 8 episodes should be fine 🤞
I don't think his ex is a girl. The song that started playing in the car when they first were on their way to Mae Hong Son was, according to novel readers, his ex, and that's why he slammed on the brakes so hard. And everyone keeps saying In is exactly Thap's type, which makes it feel like everyone knows he's into men. I have not read the novel, so I can't say 100% for sure, but based on comments I've read, I believe his ex is a guy. But I do agree, the trope of women being the one to come between the leads who are both male is overdone and hella frustrating.
I couldn't believe it when I heard the husband on the phone. I thought they had it wrong the whole time. I was…
We may yet be surprised. I still don't think he's the villain in Thap's story. He was already being investigated by the police, so he's dirty either way.
The looks they give each other are scrumptious. I can't explain why, but they just click, and it's fantastic to see. I love it.
Once again, I'm so happy with the way the tarot cards are being used in the series. It's such a small detail, but it connects things so well. The Fool being today's card was well chosen. The beginning of a journey without knowing the end, leaving the known in the past and embarking on something new? It's so suited to the beginning of this new chapter for them. Thap coming back and helping, In slowly opening up a sliver - it's all new territory for them both, and The Fool represents exactly that. Can this series go on longer than the 10 episodes planned, please?
That was the original, somewhat of a joke, title. It's a reference to the BounPrem fandom, so before it had an actual working title, it was called My Broccoli.
Did they reshoot everything or what? Why is the vibe so different now?! It looks like a starter 2014 BL series!?What…
Pilots, like the one that was released a few years back, are filmed *before* any of the actual series is filmed. It's how Thai media companies garner interest and funding, which then is why product placement is so heavy in every Thai show. So the actual filming of the show didn't start until February or March of this year. And this is Boun's project. He wrote it. If Boun is happy with it, we should be, too.
I think that was before Boun went to Gmmtv, thats the whole reason the series took so long to make, because after…
But the reason it came to GMM is because it is Boun's project. My understanding is he paid for the rights to write the screenplay, so it's his no matter what company he's under.
So many people complaining that the trailer isn't as dark as the pilot we had years ago - do you all remember Boun wrote it? This is his vision, his baby. It's also now under a different company and almost all the actors besides Boun and Prem are now different. Things change, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Personally, I'm absolutely still going to watch it, and I'm going to not let the differences between pilot and trailer be something that gets my panties in a twist. The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" is cliche for a reason, y'all. Watch the show (in it's entirety) before you condemn it.
I absolutely love the forced loathing of each other but still desiring to take care of and save each other. It's going to be so satisfying when they finally realize and admit to feelings.
Ohmigosh, the use of the cards in assisting telling the story! First The Wheel of Fortune, now Judgement. Judgement is about self-evaluation, consequences of past actions, a time of reckoning, and perilous challenges that must be faced. It's subtle, but the weaving of the meaning of the cards with the story is making my heart so happy. Because I don't think either card is about only one of them - they both need to self evaluate, they both have consequences to face - Thap for whatever slight the true villain sees as the instigating incident and his disbelief (and maybe something with his father?), and In for blaming himself for his parents' and for choosing to step in to save Thap. The Wheel is in motion and Judgement is coming - I can't wait to see what they use next week!
