Pacing was off at some points

This was pretty enjoyable. I loved PondPhuwin so it was nice seeing them in another show together. I liked Palm and Nueng as characters too most of the time. Perth and Chimon were good in this too as Chopper and Ben. I liked their characters a lot. I think the acting in this from everyone was pretty decent as well.
I liked the story for the most part overall as well. I did find it a bit slow paced or boring at times though I will say. The uncle being the one behind everything wasn't shocking at all. I don't know if it was supposed to be a twist or not, but if it was, it wasn't a good one. I will say I was getting annoyed in the last few episodes with Palm and Nueng because there was a lot of one of them leaving and then the other one going to find them and it happened multiple times in a span of a few episodes. That felt repetitive to me. Other than that, I loved their relationship with each other. They've been through so much together and you can tell their love for each other is deep.

The music is in this was not great. A lot of it just felt like it didn't fit the scene. The color grading on this show was really nice though and it had some cool camerawork in moments.

So fun just too little time seen as a couple

This show was so adorable and I'm so glad I watched it! I loved the characters and their friendship with each other so much! The couples were all so cute too! I think the plot was really simple, and I think it was perfect for this type of show. I wish it was longer! Eight episodes wasn't enough.

I absolutely loved Leeith and Putter so much! I love how complex both of their characters were. Episode one they seem like they're going to be one way and then as the show went on you really saw so many sides to each of them individually and even more so when they started dating. I just loved and adored them both so much. Also, huge shoutout to the stylist for all of Leeith's outfits. He had the coolest style I've ever seen and want to raid his closet right now.
Indy kind of drove me nuts sometimes but I loved seeing him grow closer to Jia and how their relationship developed. Even before Jia when he was going for Faye, it was so cute. I didn't care for Faye though; she was a jerk.
I liked the rest of the friend group a lot, both the girls and the guys; they were all so fun! I feel like even with some of them we didn't see as much as others, they still all had their own personalities and relationships with people and I loved that a lot.

My one complaint is how little we got to see the couples together once they were dating. I know we got a bit more for Leeith and Putter than we did for Indy and Jia, but still I wanted more. I wanted to see more of them all as boyfriends. There was just too much time spent on the breakup. We didn't need two episodes for that. I doubt we will, but I'd love a season two or even a special episode.

So cute and so fun! Highly recommend!

Silly and a cool concept

I loved to see PondPhuwin in anything and was happy to see them in this. I think they did a great job with these characters as well. We actually got quite a few kisses from them in these two episodes which was nice to see. I loved how silly and flirty they were with each other because it made the relationship feel more real. I loved hearing their letters they wrote for each other too. I really liked this and I thought the concept was cool and I thought that it played out pretty nicely too. I liked their relationship and seeing them grow stronger after going through this. I think two episodes was the perfect length for this story because I don't think it would've been as interesting if they drew it out for another season of the original show.

My one complaint is some of the dark/night scenes were so dark you couldn't see anything!!

I needed more Heart and Li Ming!

I watched this because I saw a clip of GeminiFourth's story and wanted to check it out. I absolutely loved their storyline so much! I love Heart and Li Ming as characters individually as well as together. Their scenes together were my favorite! Heart was such a loveable and funny character and Gemini did a great job playing him! Li Ming was my favorite character in the series overall. I loved how he learned sign language to be able to communicate with Heart easier! So sweet! Everything he ever fought with his uncle about; I was always on his side rather than Jim's. I loved what he stood for and what he fought for. I just adored his character and Fourth did a great job as well. I just think the two of them are such incredible actors!!

I liked Wen a bit, I think out of the adults he is who I liked the best. I liked how he was always trying to make Jim see Li Mings pov on things. I thought he was pretty caring and funny too. As for his relationship with Alan, I was happy to see him move out of their place. I think it would've been impossible for Alan to be able to move on if he stayed there any longer. I think Alan needed to wake up and realize that Wen already moved on and they couldn't be together. I understand why he would be confused in moments with them sleeping together as well as living together though. Their one big fight scene felt so real, and I have to give major credit to First and Mix for that! Love them!
Now about Jim...I didn't like this man the entire show. He was grumpy, negative, always giving Li Ming a hard time for no reason, and was just very unlikeable to me. I just constantly disagreed with what he was doing or saying. I was never on his side when he was fighting with Li Ming or Wen, and just never liked how he handled most things. The thing that pissed me off the most was when he was mad at Li Ming for being gay when he's gay himself. I did think his best and sweetest moments were with Wen. They were pretty cute together and I of course LOVE EarthMix!
I loved Kaipa! Him or Wen were the two adults I liked the best! He was so loveable and I loved seeing Khaotung play such a sweet guy (feel like it doesn't happen often). I really thought we were going to get more of him and Alan sooner in the show, but I actually really liked that it just was a little thing at the end. All the stuff with his mom passing made me so emotional. It was so beautifully done. My heart hurt for him. I felt bad about his crush on Jim not working out and Khao's acting made you really feel his heartbreak. So sad.

I liked Saleng and Praew for what we saw of them. We didn't really see very much of Praew at all, but I liked hers and Saleng's relationship. I loved that Saleng really stepped up to work hard now that he was becoming a father. So sweet.

Overall, I did like this show, but I will say that the Li Ming and Heart storyline was way more interesting than the main storyline with Wen and Jim. There were quite a few moments I was bored with their story where I was always looking forward to and wanted more of Heart and Li Mings. That could be because I didn't care for Jim though. That being said, I am happy I watched it. I love this cast of actors so much and am always happy to see them in something.

It was more about romance than revenge

I loved our main group of characters a lot, especially Sun. I loved seeing how his character changed throughout the show. I loved his relationship with Jay too. It was kind of toxic a bit, especially at the beginning, but I still loved it. I was eating it up. Their chemistry is incredible!! The spice scenes, especially in episode 8, were insane! Craziest thing I've ever seen! It was wilder than KinnPorshe. I loved seeing these two on screen together.

I liked Sky a lot too. He was such a little cutie. I'm glad he was able to get over his trauma a bit too.
I think Sunny was a great villain! I He was such a piece of garbage but that made him really enjoyable to watch as a bad guy. I loved getting to see Fuaiz again as well!
It was nice seeing Boss as well, even though I didn't care for his character. He was a little creepy.
All the acting in the show was great. I really enjoyed Min's acting the most. He did such an incredible job, especially for it being his first main role.

I will say though, for a show about revenge, the revenge was so unimportant. It felt like an afterthought for a lot of the show, especially in the second half. I was looking forward to seeing the revenge and we really didn't focus on that at all which was kind of strange to me. I still enjoyed the show a lot, just thought that was weird and where it lost a couple points for me. I think it became too much about the romance that they forgot what the premise of the show was.

I loved the show overall and would love if we could get a special episode or even a season two. I don't know if that will happen, but I want more with these characters.

Wish I skipped this one

This show was so mid. It didn't ever really hook me either, but I decided to stick with it. The characters to me weren't very interesting and neither were the relationships. I really didn't care for a single character in this show which is made it hard to care about the relationships at all. There wasn't anything wrong with the show really, just very eh the entire time. I didn't care for a lot of the acting either, but I think it was more on the script rather than the actors. The chemistry between the cast was great though. I honestly wanted to give it a 3/10 but since there wasn't anything exactly wrong with it, I gave it an extra point.

Could've benefited from being longer

I really enjoyed this show a lot! The main two characters had great chemistry together as well as were just interesting individuals as well. The plot was great too and I enjoyed it through the end. I've never seen these actors before, and I think they did a great job. Song Ha Neul being the bad guy wasn't shocking to me at all, I predicted that pretty early on, but me predicting that didn't ruin the show for me by any means. I wish the show had more episodes honestly because I would've loved to see the characters background and even their relationship more fleshed out. The finale did feel a bit rushed to me honestly and that is my one complaint. I just wish it was longer! I think it could've really benefited from having at least one more episode.

They should've been their own movies

Before anything else, I just want to say I watched this with no subtitles. So, I really had to go off of context clues and the little bit of Thai I know. I just really wanted to watch it since Nani was in it. Anyway, since this is broken up into three stories, I'll also breakup my thoughts for each story.

Story one:
This one was my favorite out of the three. I thought the story was the most interesting. It was a pretty standard story of homophobia but also added that the gay character was also disabled and overweight. I do think the two were cute friends, but they really didn't respect each other at all. Gent was embarrassed to be friends with Gent and wanted to keep it a secret and Nana posted about him anyway. I'm not condoning how Gent treated him at all, I just wanted to point out that Nana wasn't perfect either. I think this story could've been better if it also showed Gent's perspective and not just Nana's so we could see how both of them were truly thinking. It was a good concept, but it could've used some tweaking a bit.

Story two:
This one was really boring to me and pretty forgettable. I think it was because it needed to be longer and more fleshed out but instead was the shortest out of the three. I loved the concept of this one a lot, but it was so rushed. It would've been nice to see more of it all. I like that he returned home accepting and even with a boyfriend at the end, but because it was so short it just felt like we didn't really get to see him struggle with it all and then come to terms with it.

Story three:
This one I think was the longest out of the three. Tae was such an unlikeable character. I feel bad that he has to prostitute himself out, but he was such a jerk. He was awful to everyone. I didn't like Nont either since he was sleeping with high schoolers, but somehow, he was still more likeable than Tae. This story was entertaining, but you really will hate everyone in it.

Overall, I did enjoy this movie especially for not knowing what exactly is being said half the time. I think even without subtitles though, it was pretty easy to understand and follow along to. I think all three stories could've just been better as a movie of their own instead of all crammed into one.

Park Jihoon does it again

I finally had the chance to watch this and I absolutely loved it! The acting from everyone was incredible, especially Park Jihoon! Jihoon's acting will never fail to amaze me. I liked the story a lot as well. It was a great story with such a tragic ending and the fact it's based off a real event makes it even more devastating. I loved seeing King Dan Jong bond with the village folk. You can tell he was a very loved ruler by how many people were willing to die for him and to fight by his side. He was very kind as well. I loved his friendship with Mae Hwa a lot. His letter to her in the end made me cry. The ending in general made me cry quite a bit, which I wasn't expecting at all. My only complaint was I wish they explained some characters titles a bit better (Some of the people of the palace for example), other than that I had no complaints. The costuming and sets were beautiful as well. This movie was really fantastic, and I can see why it was doing so well in numbers in Korea!

Plotlines with unsatisfying endings

I'm not going to lie the writing in this show was pretty bad. The plot wasn't very thought out either. It just felt like the show was trying to have too many plotlines going that didn't really entirely matter or had a good start and then was wrapped up quickly and not satisfying at all (an example is we kept hearing about how Phali wasn't over his girlfriend and then once the two of them got back together we never saw them together again except maybe once or twice and they didn't feel like a couple at all). The thing that bothered me the most though was that the show is called Wednesday Club, but we barely ever saw all seven members together at the same time. We saw the first meeting and maybe a few other times, but for the most part we just saw the same pairs of people interacting over and over. I just really wish we got to see them all develop some kind of relationship with each other, but we really didn't. I think this show had great potential but just needed some major tweaking in the writing room.

Characters:
Kong: He was really nice and clearly cared about his friends a lot. It was cute seeing him fall for Tam and I liked that they ended up together. Him and May had chemistry together too, but I definitely think Tam was more suited for him. I felt bad for him for how he's always been treated by his family, even if it was with a reason, it doesn't make it any better. After the first episode or two we didn't really see his and Phali's friendship much either which I thought was weird since they started this whole thing.

Phali: He really shouldn't have tried to get with Tam when he wasn't over his past girlfriend. I thought he was a pretty funny character but after him and Tam split, I feel like we didn't see him much at all, and especially not with his girlfriend (like I mentioned previously). I did feel bad for him when we heard about what happened with the two of them in the past. I liked seeing that he does and enjoyed doing the volunteer work and seeing him trying to make it right with different people he's wronged. Again, I wish we got to see of more of his friendship with Kong. Shoutout Nani, he was the whole reason I watched this show in the first place.

Kun: He sucked. I didn't like his character at all. I did feel bad for him in different moments for sure, but overall, he was just an asshole and was quite rude. I get he was trying to make money for his family, but he was awful to people (especially Mac) for literally no reason.

Pheem: He was such a sweetie. Not only for everything he was trying to do for Mink, but how he took care of May as well. His crush on May was really sweet too. I loved seeing the scenes with his family as well. He was just the nicest of all the characters for sure.

Mac: This poor dude. Every time he was on screen I just felt bad for him. Someone was always being mean to him, or he was going through something. I loved his friendship with Kong a lot. I didn't really have strong opinions on him other than I just felt bad for him.

Tam: She was the other character I thought was really sweet. Even when she was being mean to her family, I didn't blame her at all and thought they deserved worse for all they put her through. Her crush on Phali was cute but I definitely liked her better with Kong. Her friendship with May was really sweet too and I liked seeing what they brought out in each other.

May: I liked May and thought she was one of the most interesting characters. She was one of the more complex I feel out of everyone. I knew her crush on Kong wouldn't go anywhere because man never seemed interested at all. I loved her friendship with Tam as well as her relationship with Pheem. She always just brought something interesting to the show which I liked.

The best MuTeLuv!

This is definitely my favorite out of the MuTeLuv series. I loved the storyline of the cult two cults a lot. I liked Ploy as a character a lot! I kind of love that we got to see her start the second cult with Phu as well. I feel like stories like these never have the mc join the bad guy, so I loved that she did and we got to see that. I figured she'd leave the cult eventually, but I liked that we got to see her in it and fight for it for a bit. Phu was a pretty interesting character to me. I liked seeing how his character changed throughout the episodes. I loved getting to see Prem play a cult leader I can't lie, it was so fun! I loved Wutkrai as well. I liked the twist that he wasn't part of the cult and was actually undercover. I wish they explained a bit more about his powers because I think they were cool. I loved his character a lot and knew he'd fall for Ploy. Father was so goofy as well which made it really fun to watch him. This series was just really fun, and I thought the writing was pretty decent as well for how short the series is. My favorite of these miniseries so far!!
