What are you now thinking about chamistry? Not hating just asking because we already talked about it
The second kiss was better than the first. They seemed to be more on the same page then. Something is still off putting and awkward about them though. As in their interactions still don't feel natural. Honestly I think the Peem actor is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the both of them. With him I can somewhat believe in the Peem character's love for Khem, despite the overall lack of buildup leading into this moment, (and he sold me on the repressed bit in the episode prior), whereas the Khem character is still unlikable and one-note, which I now think is the crux of their chemistry issue. Khem wears the same expressionless expression 99.9% of the time and though that expression changed a bit in the end scene it wasn't much of a difference. When Peem told Khem he liked/cared about him before the first kiss Khem's face had no expression. It's really difficult to buy a romance on his side when he comes across as indifferent. Like the master declared his love and his face in response was unchanged. With that said, I think the issue is the Khem actor coupled with the Khem character just being blah and a non-existent buildup for this love of theirs.
In a way they're coming together (pun not intended lol) at the end felt like different characters which I think speaks to the dullness of their characters and poorly executed foundation for this coupling.
Apologies if this reply reads incoherent or repetitive. I was typing most of it as I was watching lol
2gether is just a cute series to me. I like it a lot for what it is (and what it isn't) but I critique and rate series like that in a completely different way and would never equate or compare them with a plot driven series like this.
You say it's understandable for someone to dislike someone's acting but clearly you know not what that word means since you're attacking people for saying as much but more importantly it's really not a matter of dislike at all. I don't dislike his acting, I think he is not a very good actor at this point in his career and/or in this particular role. Very different things. You're making it into a matter of dislike by twisting my opinion of his acting into me disliking him. I know nothing about him to dislike him. I haven't even said anything about his looks! If anything I've said the least offensive thing there is to say about an actor because he could always improve on his acting and may even be better in a different role. I would even watch him in something else in the future to see if there's improvement. There are plenty of actors I actually do dislike for reasons that have little if anything to do with their acting skills (99% being decent actors) and I simply do not watch their series. And I most definitely do not venture into the comment sections of those series just to hate on those actors I dislike for sport. If I'm not watching a series then what business do I have to be commenting there? None!
So I think you're off-base and screaming "hater" at every person with a criticism like mine will only do this series a disservice which is a pity. I'm having deja vu here because this comment section is beginning to look a lot like the comment section for TNP as it was airing. And I'm sure I don't need to tell you how that mess turned out but in case you weren't around those comment sections were far more active than this one. Today you'll find it's pretty much become a deserted island where only the superfans reside and chime in every few comments. Those superfans who attacked every "hater" and advised them to get lost got their wish.
But also WHO CARES. Let people think what they want. Isn't the goal to keep people talking about the series? Good or bad? Even if I believed 2gether was a 10 star series (I don't and it's not lol) I wouldn't care if all the comments said Win or Bright were bad actors with zero chemistry. That would be their view of the series and everyone is entitled to their own good or bad takes.
Now I need to get back to watching today's episode lol
Lol, I'm still watching b/c I'm invested in the story. Surely a foreign concept to those of you who solely watch a series for an actor or cp.
My profile pic is TINE, the character - not WIN, the actor. I don't follow the actor like you do Khem's so you won't see me exaggerating Win's skills as an actor in the comment sections of his work, but he is infinitely more skilled in the craft than the guy portraying Khem so...
I thought i was the only one who took issue with NP’s acting. Feel like even the side characters are out-acting…
Yeah, the others are acting circles around him. I don't know if it's intentional or not but whatever the case it's a one-note performance and quite distracting.
Btw all the fake hate your seeing for this show and peemkhem come from the main cp fans of the previous high budget…
I think the word "all" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I like the couple/actors in that other series you speak of that most definitely was GARBAGE, but this series has its own set of issues so most of the criticisms I'm seeing (and have myself) of it feel warranted and unrelated to fan wars.
Also, this is pretty much verbatim of what their super fans would say to downplay and negate criticisms of that other series while it was airing - and as we now know, the bulk of the criticisms they fought hard to detract proved legit so...
Maybe the CP fans on both sides should join forces and direct their blame on the common denominator in this Domundi equation instead of one another? Because let's be real, if the two leads of this series had been the leads of that garbage series and vice versa both sets of CP fans would still be saying the exact same thing in defense of these two boring series.
It's really no wonder there's been a plague of awful Thai series because at this point ALL of these companies know their market and their market is telling them they don't need to prioritize cohesive storytelling or even care if their actors can act and/or are being cast in the right roles as long as their choice CP is front and center.

You said opinion in your reply so I assumed that meant the boring remark as the novel reference would be considered secondhand info - not an opinion.
I understand now though that you meant you had never seen or heard that about novel version Khem before.
