Is the rating high mainly because of the BL between the leads?
I am at Episode 11 and honestly aside from decent acting, I find the plot and fighting scenes are kinda weak. I will watch till the end though, cause BL is my thing
Meng Yao has a villain vibe, so I assume he is the main villain rather than the introduced Wen Ruohan. Seemed too fast when it's only Ep 11 and there's 50 episodes.
Don't bother watching remakes, none do this show and novel justice!
Stay with Me has some tweak to the adaptation but still a very good watch on its own (just a pity they didn't finish filming all the plot considering they should have known about the ban else it would have been far more complete)
Thai version wise is meh, and yet they will be getting season 2 to finish things up. Waste of resources
So based on a spoiler episode scene, Kang San knew Mi Na's "Boyfriend" was Do Ha. He had seen Do Ha with Ji Yu, but didn't mention anything to anyone. He didn't warn Ji Yu regarding about Do Ha but only told Ji Yu to be honest to Chan Seong that she has ate with Do Ha.
He also did nothing to clarify the situation when Ji Yu was mocked by her school mates as "Slut" so I doubt Kang San is into her. I'm more convinced he is into Chan Seong with his motive, which in Skam his equivalent is gay so Kang San is likely to be the same here.
Honestly if you can't do a good job, it's probably best not to get started. It ruins the series as well as waste resources. Furthermore, if you are "remaking" based on an existing OG, you are bound to be compared, and people would naturally expect a remake to be done much better than the original. But no.
There's alot alot of teenage school kids romance plot in the Thai BL scene that it gets overly saturated as I no longer watch them, and this one is supposed to be based on a mature school BL OG Addicted that was such a good watch. I think casting Mac might be one of the mistakes as he is still very young so maybe that ruins the overall experience when it comes to their acting direction here.
Gu Hai and Bai Luoyin have very physical scenes and it may not be appropriate for Mac. While adaptations are not 1 for 1 the same just like Thai's Cherry Magic to the OG Japan version, but I enjoyed Thai's adaptation alot. So what went wrong here I would say is the cast followed by the script to accommodate with the cast. The plot was better off suitable for actors of appropriate age with seasoned acting skills to pull it off. This adaptation is just not it, wasted opportunity.
It's been 7 months since this ended and I haven't seen any Thai BL that can be as good watch as this. Script ain't that bad as compared to most Thai BLs and it's also not cringey between the 2 MLs. I'm just focusing on the BL component when talking about this.
Thailand needs more mature and non-erotic BL and script focusing on the story like this instead of overly saturated teenage school kids romance plot or half naked body baiting. While I heard Lovesick 2024 generally is a good teenage school kids romance remade adaptation, but sadly the target audience is no longer someone like me so I can't enjoy the series like the others whom like it.
I like Addicted, but Thai adaptation to complete the story is sadly very underwhelming that can't be compared to the original series that got banned in Mainland China.
I watched over 100+ BL drama and these are my ratings over 9+South Korea 🇰🇷 1. The Director Who Buys Me…
Saw a comment above, and I can't believe I kinda forgot about it. But Cherry Magic Thailand is the latest Thai BL I watched instead of KinnPorsche, and it's the best Thai one to date. Have you watched it? Cause it's not in the list as well
It's not only sweet, but there's depth in this storyline. Personally I really like it as I laugh and smiled most of the time while watching this. It's the dreamy love plot where one will want when they were ~17.
It's not perfect for sure, but still wonderful. May not be your type of drama, but it's definitely not overhype.
I didn't watch this when I first saw it airing since I thought I wouldn't like it, but I am glad I gave this a chance when I had time and I didn't regret watching this.
So the Director is going Instagram Live at Oct 6, Sun @ 21:00 HK Time
Director IG: @pat3liu
I believed this will be a good opportunity to ask for any form of affirmation regarding on the progress of Season 2 (since there are some whom doubt that Season 2 will happen)
If someone do chanced upon this post, do help to see if you can bump it for me by replying and send me notifs in case I might missed out on the day and time if I happened to be busy with something else that day.
