Just when I thought I was on the peaceful side of MDL. 🥲

I think we understood the statement of the author differently.

So this is from my understanding, the author talked about how a screenwriter contacted her regarding having interest in turning her work into something else (closer to the real history, I believe) and then she was called back to end their ’’collaboration’’ with the reason that in the tag of her work, there were talk about explicit shipping and fanart and doesn’t want her work or her name to be mentioned (meaning the work that was going to made into the series wasn’t the webtoon but what they had made from the idea of it which is them being brothers and not enemies, I believe) in what they were going to make.

She was given two choice;

1. To go along with their first agreement and have no connection to her work or name to the one they were going to make.
2. End their collaboration but the work that was made out of the idea will go ahead but won’t use the elements the author had in her work.

She choose to end their collaboration and didn’t have any connection to the work that was continued from then on (meaning the story of Hongsawadee happened after that).

She said the reason she came out about it was because she wanted to protect and heal the feelings of her fans who got backlash (I don’t know what backlash they got) and teach others to read the papers carefully so nothing go wrong.

So, I think their collaboration ended before it even started but the scriptwriter might have taken the core of the story, the brotherhood and it was all to it. And she was paid for that I believe so what is all the drama about?

Aside from that, the two story is very different and focuses on different things.

My Monday is destroyed by the lack of Hongsawadee. 😭

I don’t know who is trolling between the author and the scriptwriter but the only similarity the two works shared would be the historical period. And the author was talking about what she was paid that confused her, not about this drama being a copy of her work which if it were the case they could have sued the screenwriter. They didn’t because it wasn’t.

And I don’t want to compare but since you are calling the screenwriter not good enough, between the two works, the screenwriter’s dialogues were more powerful and it say a lot about the writer.

Yeah. It might depend on how he was viewed by the court, I guess. I google too and mine was of the second king of Burma, he did that at 15. So I thought maybe the latter generation takes it as example.

Flower Boy, Bl series, OneOriginal too.

I come here to vent my envy about it. lol Seems I am not the only one. This would be the first time I’m really jealous of those in Thailand. Hope we will get to see reactions in clip and bits in TikTok.

Fans were asking him to be casted in Sai Lo Hit, another very famous period novel and had adapted to drama 4 times. But I think Ch7 have contract over it (if it hadn’t ended already) so it’s unlikely to happen.

They did not mention his age but according to what I had read, yes, they do that at 15.

Yeah, death really is his peace and from the preview, it seems he had accepted that belief and ready to sacrifice himself and accept his fate.

Okay. I might buy a subscription there since it’s the case because another series that I want to follow will also air in the same week as Hongsawadee ends. So I can watch both with better quality.

I was happy with the lightness of ep 10 after the emotional ep 9 but seriously, these ghosts are making trouble for him. If this kept go on, will he be able to save his license as a lawyer I wonder.

All in all, this week’s episodes were enjoyable. They haven’t lost their intentions.

I wonder if the grandma at the noodleshop is the one they thought had passed.

I think people already realized pretty early on but thought it might got better but unfortunately it went downhill with each episode.

Yeah. I think the time were people only watched it and enjoyed it without much thought had passed us. Now we want something out of what we had watched and there is not so many dramas with those deep messages that left one in awe. Though I could say One31 is tackling drama/series with depth, with some dark elements too.

😅

Seeing how they, the actors, were sweating a pool even in aired spaces, I know I wouldn’t survive the heat there. Even here when it’s 28 degrees, my hands and feet felt like they were about to burst, and I could hardly stay away from the fan. 😰

Hopefully. I want something new because the usual has become too boring. I could count on my hand how many Thai dramas/series, both BL and hetero I watch during a year although I practically grew up watching nearly every drama before.

Yeah. I don’t think I can endure Thai or Asian countries’s weather for a fact though I lived half my life in Asian, born as one, after I came to the cold of Europe. My mom and sisters went to Thailand on their vacation and even they couldn’t stand the heat.

Let me correct myself, I meant when a drama differs from the usual (don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote “doesn’t” there🥲).

But really, if I were a producer or director, I would choose something different from the usual to bring them to life.

I really hope they dare to take risks like Be On Cloud (this in series and bl trope) and like Monomax when it comes to different t genres.

India would be my biggest dream travel if it wasn’t for the heat. I can’t endure the weather over 15 degree. 🥵
