In the final episode, everyone makes up and forgives one another, and past wrongs are forgotten. Naphitch and Sangnuea embark on a happy relationship. What strikes me, though, is that the family has absolutely no privacy :) Seriously, every conversation whether private or professional (all family and business consultations, revealing personal feelings) between parents and children, between brothers, or between lovers, took place in the presence of staff, servants, bodyguards, a butler, or all of them at once; this applied even to the most intimate matters.
What are you talking about? Nowadays, if someone here criticizes Mr. Fanboy or the acting... well, basically people reply saying that person is wrong to put it mildly. It’s scary to even think what would happen if I went onto "You Maniac" and wrote that the actors were bad, the set design was poor, and the whole thing was just over the top—Merin help us, it’s terrifying! Let alone on X.
Seriously, I was so damn annoyed with Wan in the acting coaching scene. I don't find his cluelessness cute at…
Wan is the main character here and we expect, as is usually the case, that we want to identify with the main character or at least a nice, sympathetic, harmless one, but Wan is presented right from the start as a nice, cool guy but with flaws, but the kind that many of us can't ignore and get irritated because who among us hasn't done a school project in a group for which everyone prepared, and that one person either forgot or didn't read it and the whole day is in a mess... and we have to meet again. If the directors intended to present the character to us in this way, they succeeded, and we get to know him as he truly is; if it was unintentional, well...
The fact that Wan is the way he is could be both a strength and a weakness of the series; it depends on how the plot unfolds and how the audience reacts to it.
Today a supporting role, tomorrow a leading one. For many, the competition begins as early as university. You…
That’s true, you can do it that way too; your method is valid—it all depends on how unscrupulous you are.
"No matter how good you think you are, there's always someone better than you" - True or, for every villain, there’s an even bigger villain. - Life has its ups and downs; unfortunately, it often happens that the cheaters win.
Lol, Nine is of course the villain. He atleast knows how to put on a pretty smile in front of the cameras. I don't…
Today a supporting role, tomorrow a leading one. For many, the competition begins as early as university. You don’t help anyone—after all, you’re the one who needs to achieve better results; if you spot someone better, you try to undermine their position so they never catch up, and the sooner you act, the less effort it takes to bring them down later. The sooner you realize someone is better than you, the easier it is to eliminate them from the job market.
After finishing a specific degree program, your peers will be competing for the same jobs as you; the less competition there is, the better for you—which is why you eliminate them all while you're still at university. After all, supporting actors will eventually aspire to lead roles—like Auau and Save (ha ha ha).
Well, I don't support it, but logically speaking, Nine is thinking along the right lines. - I don't know yet, since it's only the second episode, but I think I might become a fan of the antagonist.
Its quite the opposite actually. The director told him to act that way in that particular scene so that's what…
It didn't necessarily have to be a typical panic attack, but rather some kind of defensive bodily reaction to an adrenaline surge
To tell the truth, I liked the first episode I liked it a lot but I completely understand what you mean about the acting I see exactly what you're getting at and you are entitled to that opinion. Someone mentioned the makeup and lack of facial expressions further down the thread; well, that seems to be a problem with many Asian productions—actors' faces are stripped of wrinkles and lines, and unnaturally whitened and smoothed out. What's more, I notice a growing trend of very young people (performers) undergoing plastic surgery—the kind that’s actually "painful" just to look at.
As for panic attacks, I’ve witnessed a few with a friend of mine. She had one at the office when we worked together—she was just sitting in her chair at the computer when it suddenly started, and it looked exactly like what you described. She had another one that same day while we were walking across an overpass and she looked down; it wasn't as intense as the first one—the first time, I thought she was having a heart attack, whereas the second one really resembled the scene in the series. That said, I used the term "panic attack," but I don't know exactly what she was experiencing, since she never went to a doctor about it—at least, not to my knowledge.
I watched the first episode again. Did you notice that Nine smiles with his mouth, but his eyes are dead? Wow. I’m really intrigued by this character. Great job by the actor. Is it just me, or do you get that impression too?
Half of Duang With You was completely stupid with college age men acting like they were in kindergarten.
That’s partly true but a friend of mine from college set the whole dorm on fire because he was frying a cutlet in the kitchen. Also, people in the dorms used to swipe ironing boards from the rooms and ride them down the hill like sleds—even though it was summer. Correct me if I’m wrong, but in Thailand, university studies begin at age 18. To me, 18-year-olds are still kids; in many countries, you can’t even buy alcohol, go to a club, or vote at that age
Yes, I liked the first episode, unlike the series *Duang with You*, where the first episode was, in my opinion, just so-so; the series won me over after the fourth episode, so it showed an upward trend. I hope the rest of the episodes in this series will be just as good as the first one—or even better.
In the first episode, the company “DMD” really promoted itself. I wonder if the next ones will be similar? Did it bother me today? Not really. Will it bother me later on? Possibly. There was even a little snippet of the Dexx song – ‘Clang, Clang’, hahaha and in the background of various scenes you could see posters for their other series hanging around. But wow! The first episode was really good, and that scene in the bathroom was brilliant. It was followed by another good scene, where Wan was lying in bed with a book or the series’ script. (A scene telling us that Wan is pondering something, or rather a slightly nostalgic scene suggesting to the viewer, ‘Right, the introduction’s over, time for the real plot’ – or maybe I'm overthinking it) And then another great scene, the final one, when Jay appeared in a T-shirt with ‘Euphoria’ written on it, followed by Wan’s reaction to the good news
The “writer” of this trainwreck portrays one of the bodyguard guys, Sila. Not trying to be overly rude, but…
In my opinion, it would be better to set this story in an A/B/O world, where the rules are clear to everyone. Let’s say Phatsa knows he’s an omega, but he doesn’t worry about it too much because he’s never experienced “heat”—or whatever they call it in the show. Phatsa isn’t stupid; he’s always prepared for anything and carries suppressants with him everywhere he goes. One day, on his way home, he suddenly goes into heat. He’s about to reach for his medication (since he has it with him!), but a group of people attacks him; he defends himself successfully, but the thugs steal his backpack with the medication—and it’s at that very moment that he meets Nakhun. There’s no need to introduce a “enigma” character, an “exceptional” omega, or a “true” alpha into the plot. The series could then focus on the conflict between Nakhun and Phatsa: Phatsa is strong, independent, has a mind of his own, and wants to work, while Nakhun is different—he admires Pathsa’s strength of character and feistiness, but still has specific expectations of a partner. Coming from a traditional family, he values those customs (upbringing plays a big role here) and has a strong instinct to protect and care for his partner. The screenwriters could show how their love story unfolds, with a side crime plot unfolding in the background involving, say, a second or third couple.
Regarding the plotline about Phatsa possibly being pregnant—they did sort of explain how it’s possible (though, to be honest, they could have skipped that part), but did they explain how the baby is going to come out? I hope it’s not the same way it got in there.
There’s one thing I don’t get, maybe I missed something along the way but how could Phatsa not know about the existence of a "hidden" gender? It’s not like it was a tiny group of people, some international secret known only to a chosen few; watching the episodes, it’s clear that absolutely everyone knows about it even children (two little girls in one episode, while ordering drinks at a café, actually asked Phatsa about the second gender). This knowledge is so widespread that Phatsa simply went to the hospital and got tested. So I have to ask: how could he not know? Did he have no internet access? Did no one ever complain to him about their "second gender"? Did he never watch TV shows? Did no one ever feel discriminated against because of it in his presence? Didn't they teach it in school? Biology class? Crime reports -Phatsa had never heard reports about the search for a missing omega? Nothing?
Back in school or at university, did no one ever bring up the subject with him, given how handsome he was? "Man, being an Omega is hopeless; I don't know if I'll find a good job." "Same here, my parents are Betas, so we're all surprised by it." "And what about you, Phatsa? What are you?" one of his classmates asked.
I barely managed to make it to the end of the first episode. I watched it in fits and starts, constantly pausing to check out stupid videos online. Halfway through, I thought the episode was stupid, but I changed my mind by the end; in my opinion, it was neither silly nor boring. That said, the first episode wasn't particularly gripping. It didn't really draw me into the plot, nor did it necessarily make me want to keep watching. Still, many series start off just as slowly before the action picks up, so I’m curious to see the next episode.
- Part 3/4 of Ep 1 was a bit silly, but to be honest, the first episode of Love upon Time felt a bit silly to me too. - The Next Prince storyline didn't have much flair either, yet it has its fans. I guess we're in for the old "good" DMD. - Joking a little bit, someone has to keep the tradition alive, after all. - I looked up the director and—oh my god—he’s the one who directed "Secret Crush on You". That show was such a piece of crap. A weirdly mixed bag of crap, though: the supporting characters were portrayed wonderfully (great depiction of the friend group, a somewhat unconventional take for the time), but the main characters were mentally unstable (which isn't funny in itself).
They sell condoms and lube at the counter in thailand? We sell candies and gum but, fair 😂Either subs are really…
In my country, you buy them at the checkout, among other things, so that the cashier can see them and so that no one damages them on purpose, e.g., pierces them with a needle :) You can also buy lubricant at the checkout. Sometimes, large drugstores have separate sections for condoms, lubricants, and sanitary pads or disposable panties.
But you can also get gum, lollipops, and batteries at the checkout. In fact, you don't have to ask the employee about these items, as they're on a shelf accessible to customers, but these shelves are located close to the cash registers, so theoretically, the employee can see them. You can also buy condoms at gas stations, and yes... on the shelf by the checkout.
Oh my goodness, this is boring, not even stupid, not even something to laugh or complain about :) Boring. I'll give it a chance, though, after all, there were series I only liked after the fourth or fifth episode.
This series is nearly the perfect BL for those looking for an escapist, comforting drama. For many of us that…
Oh my goodness, you really love this show, and while I don't entirely agree with your opinion, I understand your reasoning and know exactly why you like it. My favorite show is My Stand In, and I could go on and on about why I like it :)
To clarify, I agree with you.
The fact that Wan is the way he is could be both a strength and a weakness of the series; it depends on how the plot unfolds and how the audience reacts to it.
Wan's portrayal as someone without experience or professionalism is believable, but it's truly painful to watch
