Each episode gets better. I absolutely loved the delulu besties Atom and Mudmee in this episode. Now that the crush mix-up is sorted out we are getting development in their friendship. Fourth’s take on Atom is different than Aoki in the book but I found it hilariously endearing. We got some backstory for Atom which was so heart breaking and also helps contextualize his insecurities and over the top reactions. I also love how Gemini is playing Kongthap. In this version he feels more autism coded than the manga which would explain why he is struggling so hard to understand how he affects Atom, but he cares so much and keeps trying to understand. He isn’t stoic and unemotional, he just shows emotion differently.
I saw some complaints about the MSP reference, but I thought it was cute. This director likes to reference his past work with the actors. He did the same thing in MSP when he referenced Bad Buddy because Mark was in BB and MSP.
They were 19 when they filmed this series which is actually a very appropriate age for playing high schoolers.…
I’m a HS teacher, they look younger than some of my students. If you stand them next to any of the older pairs at GMM they look like babies. They still have baby faces, they just look slightly older than when they were 17 in MLC. But they are still too young to play older roles. They will eventually but they need time to mature. For now GMM will give the adult roles to the older actors.
Ida and Aoki are fictional characters that always have a special place in my heart. I trust the on-screen chemistry…
So an interesting fact, the change to a cat wasn’t just done for adds because Nekko advertises dog food too. Fourth has a phobia of dogs, there is no way they could have filmed it with one. He used to be afraid of cats too but he’s gotten better and even adopted a cat which has helped him get over the fear.
I don’t think the crossdressing joke would go over well in the current political climate surrounding LGBT issues…
Aoki dressing as a female character is supposed to be humorous. And I don’t think the intention was to make fun of queer men who crossdress, however, LGBT issues are at the forefront of Thai politics right. These BL companies are under the scrutiny of Thai LGBT activists. Also GMM has a lot of queer staff on the production side. This is just me speculating of course, but I’m sure they considered very carefully how to adapt this series for Thai audiences.
Is it nice 🤔? I want to watch this so I wanted to know if anyone wants to tell
Depends on what kinds of series you like. This is a pretty light hearted high school series with miscommunication tropes. The four leads are cute. I’m enjoying it.
That had it's moments, but again, the music editor had the volume way too high. i'm not feeling the chemistry…
1. The musical has to be good and romantic to sell the idea that Atom saved the play and that he fell for Kongthap so quickly. And the dance scene needs to be a little awkward because the characters didn’t rehearse.
2. There are 35 chapters plus an epilogue in the manga and they have only covered up to chapter 5. I’m actually concerned they might rush some parts to fit the whole story in 12 episodes.
3. Is the chemistry is there. The feelings between their characters are just starting to develop, like they aren’t in love yet so there isn’t any yearning yet, but the tension is starting to build. It was the same in MSP.
I love Gemini and Fourth, so I’m very biased towards them. I think they are creating very cute and sweet versions of the lead characters. But can we talk about how perfect Pahn is a Mudmee? Like she is funny and sweet, I absolutely adore her and she needs to protected at all costs!
Still this early to review but some how I don’t feel connected I really love the Japanese version because of…
I don’t think the crossdressing joke would go over well in the current political climate surrounding LGBT issues in Thailand. It might come of as being insensitive to the trans community. GMM needs to make sure they are being very respectful of the lgbt comminity in their shows. And I think making Cinderella a BL and making it good, shows that respect.
I absolutely adore the manga and I was so excited to see Gemini and Fourth’s take on the characters. It looks so cute! I’m excited for the next episode.
So far ABAAB were my favorite episodes. They were so much fun and felt true to the characters in the show. My second favorite was the MSP, I just wish they would have diverged a little more from the original MSP plot for the alternate universe. I loved all the AU versions of the characters though.
It's fluffy, so it gives people a feel goodfeeling. It spreads a mostly positive LGBTQ message and the main couple…
I haven’t watched Not Me so I have no opinions on that show, however KinnPorsche fumbled the bag. I’m saying this as a huge fan of KP, there were many plot holes and inconsistencies toward the end of series. MSP is a simple show, but the writing is consistent and tight. Everything is resolved cleanly. The music, in both shows is fantastic, and both casts have good chemistry. MSP is just has better writing.
Still can't believe I didn't drop this ! I'll start with the things I didn't like so I can end this on a good…
There was so much plot after the first episode! I actually enjoyed how they didn’t spend a lot of time dragging out whether or not Tinn and Gun liked each other. Instead the story let us know right away that they liked each other, and focused instead how they navigated difficult situations together has a couple. It wasn’t a story about them falling in love, it was a story about them figuring out how to be in a relationship.
