Chai Jidan is sadly that kind of author. Whenever there is a subject of her "works" I try to caution people about her "style". The novel I read the most of is Counterattack. Synopsis seems not so bad: MC1's exGF wants to be with ML1, so he decides to beat her to the punch and snach the guy. Light-hearted comedy, right? Nope. When she tried to break up with him, MC1 would smak his head with a brick, which landed him in clinic of MC2 (doctor). After multiple "brickings" he finally decides to live and earn money. The whole plan to get ML1 is more like accident. Additionally ML1 likes thick buts and MC1 has it (if I remember correctly they like s°x - if you can call it that - rough). ML1 has a super intelligent snake and kind of because of that he is kind of frenemy of ML2 who is in snake business and a stalker of MC2. Now let's move to gross parts: they (ML1 and ML2) use snake to check girl's virginity 🤮 🤦‍♀️ Another sick plotline is MC2 and his exBF. Said ex wanted to end their relationship, so he staged gang r°pe of MC2 🤬and use it as excuse to break up (MC2 no longer being "clean"). It turns out that r°pe was faked (not sure how doctor could not figure it out himself) but still. MC2 finally ends up with ML2 and they surprisingly have quite vanilla s°x life.

Apparently yes and no. It's similar concept (young people struggles/problems) but they are not doing copy of SKAM which for me means that they are definitely cutting S3 plot (in KR it seems that "don't say gay" in mainstream TV show is a must 🙄). I wonder if they are going to do like bullying storyline, as this is super common in KR 😢

Agreed!
I saw some people commenting that now they are mostly ok with her or feel sorry for her. I am not - it's a mess of her own making. Now she has a ton of excuses how Tae was bad. If he was so bad why not break up with him before kissing somebody else? 🤦‍♀️
She is not sorry IMO - all her tear were like: "you made me feel bad (because you got in accident due to my selfishness)!" 😮‍💨 I see her tear as a manipulation tactic more than true remorse for the actions (and not that she got caught and now facing the music).

It's sad that Tae is so hopeless - he should really get a grip and become his own self (and after that find himself "a doctor" - perhaps dermatologist? - so that they can take care of each other 🤭). Peeling shrimp is not a rocket science, he can do it! SuSu!

I totally agree. I would only like to add that she should do some big introspection - her track record shows that she falls in love due to proximity. What is going to happen once internships ends? Is she going to start new romance with somebody in her department at University? At next internship (not sure how many they have to take)? Next job?
Her view of relationship is simply not realistic as at the beginning it was clearly shown that she would love nothing more than be joined by the hip with Tae (I wonder how their relationship survived different departments at University) and getting job at the same place is hard + you actually have to work 🤦‍♀️

I just started watching and Dai is just like Jun Seong in HIS Man: he knew straight away that he is interested in one guy, was quite forward in expressing it (to the point that everybody knew) but was actually the most popular guy (I mean he would be if not for all to knowing immediately that they had no chance with him). They both are also confident that they can make "their guy" theirs.

Yes, I think so. But you know - it's just my theory.

Perhaps it's Great who is having like a mental breakdown? He thinks that he saved Dome (same with the girl) but perhaps it's all his wishful thinking. Like he wanted to do things differently so in his head - he was able to make things right.
I remember in trailer they did like reverse of the sequences and voiceover was talking about it being basically a lie.

As far as I can tell they are step-bros. I think the current wife is Great's mother. I think she was instrumental in Korn getting "promotion" and she wants Great to have the safe (not "dirty") position in the company (additionally Great doesn't seem to have mentality needed for the "special" department - he seems to have some moral code/core or at least starts to develop one).
Since they are rich, it must be the classic struggle for power (where mother is forcing her biological son to step to the ring). Korn seems to actually want his father's approval, so (regards of what Great actually wants) he most likely sees Great as competition (and one with unfair advantage).
This doesn't excuse being two-faced.

Why are you advocating for easy way out? Let's make her suffer 😈
I can clearly see her pattern of falling in love by proximity: she was sitting next to Tae, so she fell in love in him. Now she spends less time with him and more with somebody else, so...

How would a same sex couple be called if they are both bi or just one of them is bi (I am assuming that by "not lesbian" you mean bi)? I genuinely wonder is there is a word for that (if they are both bi: bi couple? 🤔).

I'm on EP05 and again we have HDD talk. My question is: why do they carry a bag or backpack? For decoration? Is it really so hard to put HDD there (from my assesment said bag/backpack are barely filled)? 🤦‍♀️ Even if there are other stuff there and it would not fit all together - it's still safer (as HDD is - let's face it - more fragile than other things he might have in his bag) to put it in backpack and take other item out instead.
It's not just this series but in many they have flat backpack and still carry books, gift etc. in hands/arms - why carry the backpack then?!

Side note: from the comments I read about preview of EP07 - it's rich of her to accuse HDD of trying to steal her BF...

Yes, I actually once again like Off 😱 (the 1st and only time before was in Not Me).

As for the GL - I see one silver lining: Tae doesn't have to be with her (I am on EP04 - vitamin-HDD) - she is so annoying! I have been hoping for some time for them to break up (she was bugging him relentlessly and had the sulks/put on airs to others) but still the cheating 😬 Now I am crossing my fingers for him to find a nice BF, he can be a doctor, you know 😏

I am just catching up (EP04 - right after the whole vitamin-HDD scene + "solutions" 🤦‍♀️) and for me she is constantly annoying, so I am actually hoping for them to break up (and perhaps he can start to date a certain doctor 😉) - not you showned me a light in the tunel, thank you 😀.

It was supposed to be original script, so perhaps there will be novel AFTER TV show ends it's run (like GMM is doing).

Going by that logic both JD and FB don't generate enough revenue as they no longer have solo/main series. JD is part of this and FB part of perfect 10 Liners (as one of several mains).
Are PondPhuwin also in that group? In We Are there were 4 couples, so by this logic they must be a bottom of the barrel...

When it comes to JD: I watched Star in my Mind (I liked Sky in your Heart better) and Hidden Agenda (dropped). They always seem to cast them in the same characters, so I am hoping that due to Dunk being the pursuer the dynamic changes and I will like their storyline.
FB: I dropped Enchanté but picked it back up for Jimmy (=his sporadic cameos), I liked A Boss and a Babe more than Enchanté (I will be honest and say that I wanted more of the 2nd couple), when it comes to Only Frinds their characters had the cheating storyline and I am not fan of that (but in that series I think only April was not a bad guy at some point or other 🤷‍♀️). Overall they are fine for me (Force to often has this painful facial expression but I can get part that).

I am hoping that the script + directing is going to be great, the series itself is going to be a challenge for all of them + that they rise to the occasion and be named the best series of the year.

I'm from Poland, so you know it's not even close accent-wise. But that was just one German guy telling me that.

I'm neither but I was once told while talking German that it has French accent o.O 😅

True but she was talking to Mook and her mother in Thai and I think that she used the same version of grandma for both, so her talking French wasn't supposed to point us to her lie, I think.
As native speaker - how would you "grade" her French? For my (trained on few shows) ears at least "kisses" were sounding correct 😀
(I remember years ago watching Neon Genesis Evengelion with JP dubbing, I think and Asuka was talking to her mother in German - I know German but I started doubting after hearing that 😂)

I know from watching Chinese dramas, that they have different words for family members depending if they are from mother's side or father's, so I presumed, since TH is close and some concept like to travel, that they might have similar. Then I checked and they do (https://www.thailanguagehut.com/learn-thai-vocabualary%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%A7-kr%CD%BB%CC%82%CD%BBp-krua-family/):
ย่า / yâa / father’s mother
ยาย / yaai / mother’s mother

Ah! I saw this as well. I think recently I was actually reading CH novel and they were like: let's send him there - it's not safe there, easy for accident and also drugs are rampant 🙄
There are countries that have problems in Africa (I personally know people living/recently visiting Democratic Republic of Congo and there were some terrifying - near death, even - encounters) but generalisations/stereotypes just show close mindless.
