In Me and Thee? None.
In Calm Down, Mr. Rome? There are a few...

Not really. This is a PPW series, not a PS one. Plus, their characters don't really have a lot of scenes in the novel, either.

The gaming scene at the office is my absolute favorite. That's pretty much what my former colleagues and I used to do when the boss wasn't in!

I think there's some confusion with the way the series portrayed the parents. In episode 2, Mok said they're not allowed to love anyone because love is a weakness. Then, in episode 3, Thee's father said true love and true friends are what truly matters, but in episode 5, his mother told Rome they have to accept the fact that love is forbidden.

From the looks of it, their parents just want to educate their sons to be more cautious about finding the people they can love and trust, but went about it in all the wrong ways. Though I wouldn't be surprised if their mom already knew her sons are in love, which is probably why she canceled birthday dinner so they can celebrate however they want.

Their characters are more detailed in the novel. They're strict but very loving to their children. They pretty much accepted Peach as part of the family straightaway.

I think the hate is aimed more towards the editing than the kiss itself. Like you said, the boat was rocking a lot, but the way they cut and paste the scenes together is just god-awful. Like, you'd think a big company such as GMMTV would hire better editors.

Whenever I see Peach holding back laughter and then finally laughing at Thee the drama queen, I feel like that's not acting. That's Phuwin genuinely trying not to laugh at Pond's antics and finally letting it out when the director tells him to do so.

Wow, that escalated quick.

Thee is the older brother, but he wasn't interested in taking over the family business, which is why Rome became the heir.

As for Mhok, he was an orphan. In the novel, his father, who was an alcoholic, sold him to a trafficking ring. He was taken to Russia, where he was eventually discovered and adopted by the Arsenis. Not sure who told you Mhok is being groomed to inherit the empire, but that's not true. Technically, he is the adopted son of the Arseni family, but Thee's father had intended to groom him to become Thee's right-hand man. He just didn't expect Rome to fall in love with him.

In the novel, the brothers are actually very close, but yeah, the Rome/Mhok storyline is very different from Thee/Peach. Definitely more serious.

Gotta say, GMMTV really knows how to keep fans guessing. XD

And Sing found comfort in Perth's ex.

GMMTV's relationship chart gets more and more complicated every day. XD

Rome only had one line, and it's gonna be the most replayed part out of the entire episode.

A lot of people are gonna be replaying that end-scene in anticipation of episode 5.

Jan and Sing were love interests in Cherry Magic. Apparently, they decided they aren't suited for corporate life, so they went into law enforcement. Now, one is a detective, and the other is in forensics (in Dare You to Death).

What's next? A series cross-over, long-distance relationship?

*Yawn Try harder, commie. What's the matter, dumbbutt? The Russians cleaned you out, and you're desperate for cash again? What's the going rate nowadays, 3 cents/comment?

Well, they're obviously not a lapdog for the Chinese Communist Party. That's North Korea. Oh, and you. Guess you're back on the CCP payroll again, eh?

It's different from what PPW did in the past. I'd say GMMTV made the right decision by not casting them in another school drama. It's fairly light-hearted (for the most part), and while Thee's personality may come across as over-the-top at times, it's nicely balanced out by Peach's down-to-earth attitude. If they're following closely to the novel, then things will become more serious, but nothign too dark. I'd say it's worth checking out. It definitely wouldn't be a waste of time, since it's only 10 episodes.

Their characters are actually quite minor in the novel. Not sure if they added scenes in the series, but the main spotlight is on Thee and Peach.

That's the sad reality of working with Chinese companies. However, despite their slowing economy, China is still a relatively big market. There's no telling if the same could be said next year, though. Because of all the fan drama, bad behavior from Chinese fans, and horrible treatment of foreign artists (I'm pissed about what they did to Orm back in August), companies are becoming more cautious about working with the Chinese.

I'm loving the subtle Rome/Mok moment.

Very excited to see episode 4. If they're following the novel, Wivit is about to get the biggest karma of his life. XD
