Do I have this right… Nakhun and Phatsa slept together at some point but Nakhun can’t remember his bedmate’s face and Phatsa’s recollection of the bedding has yet to be acknowledged?

For sure a lame and lazy way of letting the audience in on those details. It should’ve been explained in some other fashion like you said, rather than at the expense of Phatsa’s character who in that moment came across as oblivious to the very world he’s been living in for 20 some years.

They should’ve released episodes 1 and 2 together because episode 1 was kinda boring.

I see this production house is back to their old tricks in wasting screen-time on random kids and putting zero effort into their english subtitles. Annoying + lazy.

😭😭😭

I think I figured it out ya’ll! He looks like Park Dong Ju from My Secret Vampire!

For a minute there the end was looking so bleak I nearly threw my phone at the wall in a fit of rage, but thankfully the ending was satisfying and my phone will live to see another day.

I kept thinking he looked familiar the entire time I was watching The Lie We Lived In so I came to his MDL page fully expecting to connect some dots only to find he hasn’t been in anything else!

WHO IS HIS DOPPELGÄNGER?!
This is going to plague me I fear 😭

My guess (or hope 😭) is it likely got pitched as a special and that was the initial plan but down the line ended up being developed into a mini follow-up season of sorts after Pond + Phuwin lost Replay.

Circled back to this page today because I couldn’t remember who made up one of the three pairs and now that I know I’m bummed again because that pair was TayNew, who I only recently (so late I know) discovered through A Dog and A Plane 😭

FOUR?! Mr. GMM-TheeV best be lying, but I’d take it if each episode were 2hrs long! Now I’m thinking he teasingly misled with the *accidental* 4 episode reveal to make the more likely 6 episode count sound better by default. Khun Thee is so sly!

Do we know the episode count yet?
Might actually cry if it’s less than 10.

I agree! They don’t even feel like the same characters we were introduced to in part one. The energies don’t match! They are the unfortunate victims of a dull backstory. I liked them better before we got this history of theirs.

I read the novel so I knew the Mick + Tul thing was coming but the way it played out onscreen wasn't the least bit believable. These characters are mostly inconsequential up until Mick’s straight-but-willing-to-try-for-Tul scene which serves as a lightbulb moment for Nao. I couldn’t help but laugh though at Mick’s crying proclamation that Tul was his closest friend - a direct line from the novel - considering 95% of the time we the audience had previously seen Mick he’d been with Field whereas his onscreen interactions with Tul were few and lacking. So yeah, that moment just wasn’t believable to me. Honestly I think I would’ve bought it more had it been Field in his bed but that wouldn’t be in lockstep with the source material and Field is yet another character in this series who we’re seemingly supposed to read between the lines with after they give us no more than a mere seconds long cursory glance towards their crush.

That said, it’s possible I’m being too harsh and nitpicking on account of my disappointment with this particular story in the series as it was the one I looked forward to most. It’s just wild to me how much interest and love I had in and for these two characters when they were merely features in other stories while their own story has only evoked indifference.


Also, unrelated but related:
- I really hate how out of place North feels in every scene!
- loved seeing Forth in this

Hating myself so hard right now for not waiting for the last two episodes to come out before binge watching 1-6 last night 😭

I’m getting second-hand embarrassment from just about every character in episode 2. And I can’t believe they let that one guy chew gum in every frame!

Boom could make a cameo appearance. Would be kinda hilarious if the last episode had a post-credits scene of Akin and a new Jin sitting on their couch in front of their TV as the credits roll on the final episode of Nour The Series, an adaptation of their hit movie Akina!

Not that Tailai or WeTV are listening but a surprise gag like that could actually be a good way for them to 1) circle back to Akin and Jin’s Top Form world, 2) make the Top Universe tie-in to this series clearer, 3) rationalize Boom’s exit, 4) tease a new Jin + their second season, 5) keep a door open for some of these new faces to appear in the pre-existing (if continued) world since they’d also be actors.

If only… 🙃

Still not over the poster art poses mimicking Candy Color Paradox’s.

I won’t miss them.

Just to clarify, the novel isn’t bad but their story is boring and repetitive. The brother’s story in the novel is way more interesting. I feel like maybe they should’ve led the series with Suea and Nao’s arc or told their story alongside another couple’s story to better offset the redundant nature of their story.

I don’t know what I imagined their backstory to be prior to their own arc airing but I can’t help but feel like the characters were way more interesting when they were just being teased in the others stories and we didn’t know much about their history.
