I hope krist keeps getting plots, roles and directors that improve his acting skills. Because I want the best…
I feel the opposite, Krist is pulling off Kawi with elan! With anyone else, I genuinely feel it would have been very cringe. But here, when Kawi cries, I cry, when Kawi is going in the wrong direction I get frustrated, when Kawi realizes I feel joy, when Kawi smiles I smile. Krist is doing Kawi literally perfectly! And so is Gawin, they are absolutely working off of each other's energy. The chemistry is palpable, the acting is literally one of the best from GMMTV.
None of us realise that how much Kawi has helped people around him as well. Let's stop being harsh on him.
Exactly!! Without Kawi, in the original timeline, Pisaeng would have been forever a closeted individual keeping up appearances for society's sake. Max would have lost a true friend who actually cared for him. And his Dad would've never even gotten a chance at true therapeutic care, even if the end result remained unchanged. Pear would have been stuck in a loveless marriage.
Krist was meant to play Kawi and Gawin was meant to play Pisaeng, no shade to Mike, but I can't imagine anyone else but Gawin for Pisaeng. They are literally so perfectly cast!
They saved the Pisaeng character for me, because I was mad at him being so pathetic and weak. Only thing I didn't…
Giving someone your diary, someone you distinctly hated, someone you did not even know you loved, and especially when you think yourself to not be worth anything; to trust someone with your whole life, is nothing less than a love confession. Kawi was brave (wayy braver than Pisaeng), was so open, so vulnerable, and so trusting to share his biggest secrets and insecurities with Pisaeng is as romantic as it can get.
Also, my man Kawi is relatable AF! The first time I've seen a character who knows their phones are shitty and carries a charger! And actually has the brains of plugging it than running to the airport...
7.4 does seem low when I see some other really appalling ones in the high 7s ...but, maybe it's deserved ?
This one was okay-ish bad, but you're right, comparing this with the disaster that was Never Let Me Go which has an 8 makes me question everything about MDL.
