How long is this drama going to be with this many Qs?
The general consensus is 18 episodes total , which the number of queues does support. It’s possible that it could be longer but also the filming has taken longer because of needing the actors to develop certain skill sets that fit with the historical setting as well as filming in more remote areas is always more complex. I’m not sure how many of the sets had to be renovated or even built from scratch.
I am curious as to whether they will use a different bible quote for every episode. The use of that particular passage from Leviticus was an excellent choice for adding insight into ep 1. The meaning of the message worked on several levels.
Both Gemini and Fourth have decidedly improved a great deal as actors. I was less than impressed with Fourth in MLMU, he was such a disaster in that role. Here though, he’s already showing depth and maturity in his acting that speaks to his potential to be truly great.
For me, I think what’s missing in this story, so far at least, is why Tanrak felt such a seemingly instant connection to Barth that it actually knocked him out of his self imposed apathy. I really hope that as this story unfolds, that connection is explained.
I appreciate why P’Aof chose the mid 90’s as a setting for this series. I think some folks are missing some history though. Back then being called gay or a fag wasn’t just a homophobic slur, it was a way to ostracize anyone deemed remotely different. Too quiet, nerdy, clumsy, not athletic enough? Clearly you must be wrong in some manner so you were labeled as being gay and that made you socially unacceptable and a target for physical and/or verbal abuse by anyone who wanted power over others or just wanted a way to fit in/hide in the crowd.
I can already tell that Father Arnon with be the character I dislike the most. He is very representative of the type of people who do the most damage, often times with good intentions. From the beginning it’s clear he handled Tanrak very poorly. The result is a boy who is clearly pushing himself down a path that will most likely end very badly for him. Barth’s appearance in his life could be as much a blessing as a curse as Tanrak is so poorly suited for the role he’s making himself take on, it’s painful.
Regarding the whole aging aspect my personal speculation is that P’Aof felt like it would have more impact if he used all of the original actors rather than casting different people to play the older versions. To me it was less that neither Gemini nor Aun looked like they had aged 30 years so much as that neither moved or held themselves like someone much older. Gemini especially still walked and stood as a young man of 21. Mannerisms as much as physical appearance can make a huge impact on appearing to have aged.
Seriously just take your homophobic self and go away. YOU are the problem here.
Wow, dense as a concrete and steel wall, I see. Here’s a thought, since you can’t be bothered to disappear (hopefully off this planet) go read the many comments just from episode 1 and you’ll see why your whole moral lecture was simply moronic. Media that challenges people’s political, social and/or religious beliefs has existed for MILLENNIA! Why, because that’s how people learn, change and grow. It’s also how people can connect with others who can understand and empathize with their own experiences. If you want to continue to exist in your isolated homophobic shell go find some heterosexual fluff piece to comment on instead.
Yes, please get out and never come back. It’s people like you that make this world worse. You hide behind your…
I’m going to go with you meant this reply to a different comment and not that you are simply a complete moron. Either way, go away so no one else has to deal with your homophobic stupidity any longer.
Thailand, you can produce BL dramas day in and day out, and people will still watch and enjoy them for what they…
Yes, please get out and never come back. It’s people like you that make this world worse. You hide behind your so-called moral lectures while tacitly approving the mistreatment, abuse and violence against anyone different from you on the grounds of “religious beliefs.” So let’s make something perfectly clear. If whatever religion you practice states it’s completely acceptable to discriminate against another person because of the way they were born, then I pity you and whatever horrible god you believe in.
Okay I think I need to make a polca bingo card bc all references in just ep 1 had me grinning! And the passenger princess comment was gold! I have so desperately missed that TayNew magic and it is back full force!
it really bothers me that gmmtv never care about stuff like this. even foei left on his own accord.
There were old allegations that he couldn’t keep his hands to himself when it came to the younger/brand new gmmtv actors. Nothing explicit, rumors of forced proximity, unwelcome touching and verbal harassment. But, it only seemed to be linked to new male actors. He was seemingly a total gentleman around the female actors so a lot of people just dismissed it as a misunderstanding.
Are Marc and Prom actually gonna be a ship?? They're also together in Lovers and Gangsters
It seems like GMM is going ahead with their pairing, to the disgust of many fans. However, their official CP “debut” is reportedly going to be L&G so hopefully they will be minimal in this series.
