So I binged the 5 episodes today. These are all my opinions; I haven’t read any of the comments, so I don’t know what anyone else is thinking, but here is my takeaway. Note that this is all in fun — I’m laughing as I type this because ultimately (Spoiler Alert) I think the show is fan f**king tastic!
Fou4Mod and Chian pisses me off lol. Fou4Mod is dumber than a bag of shattered pens and Chian is the King of Games! I’ve never seen a Thai show where the main couple pisses me off this bad. I just want to slap both of them and tell them to get it together lol! My absolute favorite character is unequivocally Baabin! He’s a sweet ol’ thing, and I would literally jump in front of a bullet for him! Bua, at first, irked me — and especially in the third and then the fifth episode somewhat too (if you know, you know) — but ultimately, I grew a soft spot for him, especially at the end of that episode. Still, he doesn’t make me wanna punch a brick wall as much as the Fou4Mod and Chian does. I would push them into traffic lol.
Now, time to get a little serious!! I’ve said this before, but I am actually an acting teacher. I teach Meisner Technique, scene study, improv, audition technique, yada yada. Now, I’ve seen quite a few Thai shows… this is the BEST acting, point blank, that I have EVER seen from a Thai show. There were some scenes that were so great that I could actually see myself using one of them in my classes as a case study! The emotions were raw, they were in the moment — it was all just amazing to watch!!! There is one scene that I saw in one of the episodes where two things happened; I don’t know if they were choices made by the actors/scripted situations or if it was just a mishap, but if it was the latter (and it truly suspect that it was), both actors executed the scene BRILLIANTLY while staying in character! I don’t know who the casting director for this show is, but he or she deserves all the awards for casting these four amazing actors. VERY VERY VERY WELL DONE! DONE!!!!!
Okay, so I've just started watching (I'm the type to wait until all the episodes of a show come together before watching because the second an episode ends and I gotta wait a whole week, I get up and start punching the air like my man just cheated on me.). I'm currently on episode 5 and I. am. loving this!!! I'm not reading any of the comments because I cant' have y'all spoil this for me but I am on cloud 9 with this show. I think God and Diew are too cute. The second couple are just meh to me (but then again, second couples rarely catch my eye.) but if I know y'all, and I know y'all well, you all are losing your minds of the second couple. After the first two episodes, I just couldnt' stop watching!
"the boy just started learning how to ride his bike without training wheels" - You don't seem to live in reality.…
Sooth ya boobs sweetness, it's a comment oh how young he is compared to his 28 year old counterpart, I don't know what reality YOU live in but that's frowned upon in mine.
STOP!!! Hold the freaking phone!!...The actor who plays Poppy is six freaking teen?!?!?! And here I was wondering why they never showed them kissing, two days ago, the boy just started learning how to ride his bike without training wheels.
All in all though, I thought it was an ok. There are a few things I would have done differently (Hire a team that actually knows what San Fransico looks like is one of them.) but I can't complain too much.
I'm currently watching episode 9. So elephant in the room, ain't no freakin way that was San Francisco!! That…
Okay, I saw a building name and googled it, how bout it's Chattanooga Tennessee! How in the world is it hard to find actually footage of San Francisco?!
I'm currently watching episode 9. So elephant in the room, ain't no freakin way that was San Francisco!! That looked like Moscow Russia at most! Somebody in production didn't do their homework
I can honestly say that I can't give this show a second watch and not because it isn't good but because of how much my blood boiled the first time I watched it. I'm very urked that something far worse didn't happen to them.
I always go through second couple syndrome and it sucks cause I watch shows just WAITING for scenes with the second…
Now that I had time to reflect, I can think of one time that I think I had second couple syndrome and that's with Don't Say No. But even then, I still really liked the main couple. One side couple that I just for the life of me can't see the appeal in is bounprem. I mean don't get me wrong I like them just fine but I just can see why everyone loses their mind over them.
sometimes I wonder if second couple syndrome would occur of the main couple was switched with the side couple lol
I bet you all the money in my bank account that everyone is gonna like the second couple more than the first...I don't know why that's a thing, with every thai show I watch, everyone always likes the second couple more. I've never experienced second couple syndrome. I'll either like the second couple equally or less than the main.
Edit: okay so after making this post, I scrolled down and, as I thought, two people posted second couple syndrome. Lord have mercy
Since the trailer aired, this show has been living rent free in my head!!!! Why play the trailer to a show that's a year away if the purpose was not to induce mass chaos?! I might need to start counseling now
The music has been stuck in my head since I saw the trailer. If I'm waiting until 2025, this better come out like the first month of the year otherwise I'm going to Thailand and fighting everybody. I'm talkin the moment I step off the plane, I'm throwin a Flight Attendent at somebody!
Lord have mercy, I can't stop thinking about this! I am likeーthis is at the top of my list! I don't think I have ever anticipated a thai show as much as I have this! I am just really angry that they showed us this like possibly a year from airing and I feel like they did it to torture me specifically. This wait is about to be painful as hell!
Just saw the trailer!.........DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!!! If this isn't the most aesthetically gorgeous thing I've ever seen then I don't know WHAT!! This is perhaps the best quality of any thai show I have ever seen bar none!!! I'm not really understanding the story from the trailer but I don't really care! I am itching to watch this!!!
BRUHH, I just saw the "2025" next to the release date. Y'all really about to have me wait for this?!
