Before Episode #6, I used to look forward to these episodes with the anticipation of a scene by the swimming pool. ๐๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐๐ฝ๐
From this point onward, I think it's going to be the beach scenes. . . โฑ๏ธ๐ด๐๐ดโฑ๏ธ
I loved #9, too. . .enough that I'll likely rewatch it again by tomorrow. ๐ค Everyone here has already touched on all of the aspects that I loved about this episode, so I'll just mention my favorite and leave it here :
Thi in the tent with the 'Cow Pajamas' on. . . ๐ฎ๐ฅฐ๐ฎ๐ฅฐ๐ฎ๐ฅฐ๐ฎ๐ฅฐ๐ฎ
I agree so much with your comments! I am not understanding the hate on the ABC Gang or the side couples. If you…
You're in for a wild ride. ๐ You are about to see a group of hyperactive high school kids transform into well-adjusted college students. ๐ I wish I could go back and see it all again for the first time. ๐ฅฐ
Yes! Yes! And Yes! The adventure is onโฆHey have you been watching The New Employee?
I have that coming up yet today, too. ๐ค I still have to watch 'My School President' and then to see if 'I Will Knock You' delivers the latest fashions in the form of another pajama party. ๐
Yes! Yes! And Yes! The adventure is onโฆHey have you been watching The New Employee?
'My School President' is stellar for two good reasons. ๐๐
The show and everything in it has been non-stop excellent for every episode. . .and, it's nice to go to the comments section and find literally no one bored, disappointed or opinionated about the last six episodes.
If the show keeps up like this (even with the 'Episode #7 Curse' awaiting us), I would be willing to put this one into my permanent 'Top 5'. ๐
'Until We Meet Again' knocked me slap-happy every single week emotionally, and 'Theory of Love' had the best well-written plot and storyline of the last 3-4 years. 'President' is in that same league, too. ๐ฅฐ
I think I'll be rewatching it again before it finishes in another four weeks. If they tack on an additional two episodes for us. . .I won't complain. ๐
Yes! Yes! And Yes! The adventure is onโฆHey have you been watching The New Employee?
I've been keeping up on 'The New Employee', and looking for new episodes that aren't there. . .๐ I kept forgetting which shows are airing twice in a week, so when 'Midnight Motel' and 'The Director' had two episodes back-to-back, I was automatically looking for Episode #5 there already. I was doing that with 'Ameiro Paradox', too. ๐
I've liked every episode of 'The New Employee' so far. ๐ฅฐ This latest one made me laugh because of the way our friend reserved the entire restaurant for the date. . .just in case they wanted to make out at the table and slip the staff some extra tip money so they 'didn't see anything'. . .๐คฃ
Only 8 episodes though, so the angst is quickly approaching. ๐จ
One order of 'Zombie Apocalypse' coming up. . . ๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ง๐งโโ๏ธ (hold the broccoli) ๐ฅฆ https://mydramalist.com/745181-zomvivor
After this wrapped up, I vividly pictured the vending machine at work. ๐ฐ
When the vending machine was wasn't working right, we would unplug it for 30 seconds, plug it back in, let it reboot, and start over again. The Fanta came out. . .and it was a happy ending. ๐
That's how I felt at the end of this last episode, but the series was too good overall for me to make a valid complaint about the way the ending was done. ๐ฅฐ Yu Dam and Dong Baek were irresistible, Denis was adorable but psycho, and the short episodes didn't hurt the story like I've seen elsewhere.
I could definitely handle a Season 2 or a Special Episode with this cast again. ๐
Me every episode: Don't look at the roots...don't look at the roots...DON'T LOOK!!!
I'm waiting for Prem to appear in a scene where his hair is bright orange again like he had in 'Even Sun'. โ๏ธ
I'm fine with Boun's hair in any shade, though. . .given the shooting schedule that was on & off most of last year. ๐๏ธ๐จ๐ฝโ๐ฆณ๐๏ธ๐ฑ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๏ธ If anyone ever treated me with the regard and devotion that Win has for Team, the hair would likely be #55 on my list. ๐คฃ
Besides all of the individual things that made Episode #5 so great. . .the hugs here are absolutely the best to be found during the whole week, anywhere. ๐ฅฐ๐ซ๐ฅฐ
All of these past 6 episodes have been equally fun to watch so far. ๐๏ธ๐ฅฐ๐๏ธ๐ฅฐ๐๏ธ The chemistry is getting better with each episode, too. ๐๐
I'm easy to please with the pace of the story, though, because of my profound background in American cable television, as in: * clicks remote to TV Land and the 'Andy Griffith All-Weekend Marathon'* ๐จ * clicks remote to QVC Channel and 'Dazzling Jewelry Under $15'* ๐ * clicks remote to NASA Channel and three hours of propellant releasing from a test rocket* ๐ฅด * clicks remote to Game Show Network and a fourth consecutive hour of 'Match Game '77'* ๐ด
Besides all of that for reference points, I really like this show and it improves even more when compared to several of the other HIStory releases. * finishes sentence wondering if he should specifically mention 'Make Our Days Count' * ๐
I've been able to cross a lot of the items off of the 'BL to-do List' before we get halfway through this series, too. ๐๐ฝ After these two episodes, I've been able to cross off 'trips and falls onto romantic interest's lips' and 'you're injured. . .I'll slowly apply antiseptic to your face'. ๐ณ๐ค
Once I see one of the couples sharing ear buds, I'll rejoice further. ๐ฅฐ
I'll be back for #7 & #8 to enjoy it further, too.
I agree so much with your comments! I am not understanding the hate on the ABC Gang or the side couples. If you…
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. ๐ After a few episodes, you'll laugh when you notice that five or six of the cast members in this series are also playing roles in '12%'.
I agree so much with your comments! I am not understanding the hate on the ABC Gang or the side couples. If you…
'12%' has actually got one of the more tension-free main couples out there, so you'll get a happy ending once a few of life's realities come and go. ๐ฅฐ๐ฌ
I've rewatched it a 4th time already, so I'll always have a high opinion of it, and I'm still impressed by the cast and the level of acting there. ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ They easily managed to pull off playing their characters at age 14, age 18 and age 22.
I'd still put it up in the 'Top 3' for 2022, so it is definitely worth the watch. ๐
I agree so much with your comments! I am not understanding the hate on the ABC Gang or the side couples. If you…
I'm sure they'll give us a variety of everything here in the next three episodes. ๐ It's likely time for a little more of Pruek & Manow, and then Pharm on the raft. โต
I learned enough by the 10th episode of 'My Only 12%' to know that when Santa is angry and gives you that glare full of resentment. . .you're done. ๐คจ 'Don't touch Seeiw's hair. . .back away. . .I'll touch Sieeiw's hair. . ." ๐ก
I'm loving the ride that this series is taking me on, and almost in disbelief that we're up to #9, already. ๐ง I was happy to see our fair share of the side couples, too, even though we got to see only a few brief glimpses of Pharm and Manow (waving the blue French bread around up in the stands). ๐๏ธ๐คฃ๐๏ธ
I thought that this was going to be the episode where 'T-Rex' reveals his identity to the world, so now I'll be looking for it in #10 instead. ๐คจ Thankfully, it's not a 2-week wait this time around to the next show.
There were some nice developments to move things along for Bee & Prince, but there were a few times in this episode where I had to either laugh or rethink what I had just seen. First. . .I'm glad I didn't see the text Bee got from Prince before the swim qualifying. ๐ณ If it had read, "Hey. . .I'm in the restroom right now. . .come and see me there.", I would have started having flashbacks of the last "meeting" in a restroom. ๐ฅต๐ฅต
Second, Prince letting Bee know he has a 'condition' might be something deliberately put in the script to show that Prince is either having a low self-esteem issue with being gay and accepting it, or else his manager is putting the same pressure on him to 'act straight and be straight'. We'll see next week. . . ๐ค
Third, at the ABC free-for-all for New Years, I am not buying the fact that the three of them bounced all over that bedspread and didn't dump over at least one Hawaiian Punch or one of the Drummies. ๐ท๐คช๐๐ฅณ๐๐คช๐ท Everything looked too neat and clean for these three. ๐ In reality, Prince should have stumbled in, passed out asleep on the bed, and had at least 7 snacks lying underneath him. ๐ ๐ด๐
I see that I was way off on my guess about Team's brother, forgetting that all of our friends in Thailand are 'brother' or 'sister'. ๐จ๐ฝ๐ง๐ฝ I got turned around a few times with the 'uncle' and 'auntie' slant on this, too, in the past.
I got confused because of the talk Team had on the phone with his Mom back in Episode #5, about coming home on break. She had said, "Come and see your brother. . .he probably misses you a lot". ๐ฌ His Mom had been talking about visiting the cemetery, and the phone conversation now seems kind of morbid. . .but that could have been the subtitles and translation, too.
When Team got home, I expected to see a real brother at the house, and instead, it was just Team and a whole house full of food. I'm beginning to think that Team has eaten five meals a day since he was 15. ๐
It seemed like most of his visit home was for either talking about Ton or being at the cemetery, but, since we don't have time onscreen for seeing a whole 3-day visit and a talk with Mom Cow and Dad Cow, they had to cut to the chase and move the scenes along. ๐
Now, with Episode #10 on the way, I'm one of many who want to see three more minutes of Win in the white bathrobe, and I want to see the beach resort again (and how they sneak Pharm onto the raft). ๐ I still want to see 'T-Rex' confess to Wan, and I still need to see Win's whole family sitting together without enough tension in the room to cut the air with a knife. ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ
There's hell to pay if we see an angry Santa again in #10. ๐ก
I'm still happy with the whole setup here, from the character development, all of the side couples, all of the carefully placed drink sponsors, and the work that went into all of this series on & off for most of 2022. ๐ฅฐ๐๏ธ๐ฅฐ
I'm unlikely to have a complaint about any aspect of these episodes, after learning that Team and New put up some of their own money to shoot one additional swimming pool scene after their time was used up to shoot around the pool. ๐๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝ๐ After hearing about the personal sacrifice and hard work that went into all of this to get it to us in November, I'm not going to be on the same bandwagon as those that are already bored with parts of it.
I wish, too, that the money and time had been available to throw in a scene on a golf course, too. Prem with golf clubs is something everyone should see at least once. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธโณ But, if we had our wish for money and locations, this series would still be shooting, and we'd be editing a 23rd Episode yet. ๐จ
All that we've been given in the last nine weeks works great for me, so I'm here for the next three Sundays for sure. ๐
From this point onward, I think it's going to be the beach scenes. . . โฑ๏ธ๐ด๐๐ดโฑ๏ธ
