Loved everything about this episode until the moment the mother came back into the picture. Like I didn’t like…
She is so selfish and obnoxious they tried so hard to redeem her but it didnt work lol If anything I dislike her even more. GMM/New with their one-note "everyone forgives and loves everyone" default ending 🤦♀️
What I disliked regarding some of the writing/pacing in Episode 15: 1) Gun's trauma topic: acting was on point the scenes were good however the topic was rushed/brushed over like not giving any explanation as to why in the first place he got traumatized at the shed and while Yotha's method when helping Gun to overcome his trauma was correct , it being a ONE TIME thing and then viola Gun is FIXED makes 0 sense and just pertains to lazy and borderline ignorant writing (something GMM is guilty of when it comes to topics like traumas/disabilities we have seen this in a show like Last twilight as well). I dont know what's New's obsession with everything being "rosy and happy at the end" especially in such a story its not needed at all imo. I would have preferred if they made Gun recovering from his trauma a process and something Yotha/Gun build up their relationship upon more when they became a couple instead of a one time thing as its more realistic and authentic but oh well 🤷🏻♀️ 2) Klao/Yotha/Gun fight: in the novel it had more meaning as it was originally Klao who gets his gang to attack Gun just to get back at Yotha there Yotha realizes his feelings truly and then answers Gun but in the series the build up is beyond bizarre whether it being from Warit calling Yotha to personally ask him about Klao? Why tf should someone like Yotha care about Klao in the first place? Why not just go and take an armed Newton to dissolve the fight like he did from the first place? While the acting was good as I said from both main leads the build up and construction of events was bizarre and non-sensical and this goes back to the fact that the writers/director/GMM etc decided to chicken out on the original toxic dynamic/subplot involving Yotha/Klao/Warit and just decided to whitewash Klao/Warit and just give everyone a "happy everyone becomes friends at the end plot" instead again very lazy and "one-note" writing (the preview for next episode already got me mad because they will try to "redeem" Yotha's mother when its really not needed at this stage also how will this play into the Faifa's storyline given that she was a huge culprit in the trauma/insecurities he developed as well)🤦♀️ 3) A recurring problem I mentioned before in this show is the errors in some of the direction of some of the scenes again we see Gun using his right hand when eating at the date in the mall when it was first emphasized that he is left handed in Ep 9, another jarring error is in the fight scene when Yotha/Gun are being all emotional in the front frame we still see Klao/Warit doing nothing in the back frame?? I was very annoyed by that. Something I mentioned before is New's outdated style whether its the overused sound effects, the same damn ost playing everytime when the leads are kissing or in an intimate scene....just let these tropes go mate its not 2015 anymore🤣
What I liked regarding some of the writing/pacing in Episode 15: 1) Yotha finally realizing how much Gun means to him and finally giving him an answer the confession scene "But, I'm brave now...I'm brave enough now to love you, Beagle" its a simple line but holds so much meaning given what Yotha went through and it coming out of nowhere and taking Gun by a surprise made it more touching. The entire scene sequence was brilliant and comforting (Perth nails the delivery so much with his ever good tonality). 2) The fight scene sequence was just brilliantly acted out from both Perth and Santa but I want to especially praise Santa given the different emotions he had to portray: getting held up at knifepoint, being someone already so sheltered having to witness a brutal fight, protecting his loved one and being selfless when expressing his worries for Yotha's well being only. The tonality, line delivery and micro expressions were all displayed so well by Santa. 3)The entire shed scene and the yellow pajamas symbolism in it being a safe space for Gun (ironic that Yotha becomes "sunshine" to Gun when his characterization is different, that was done well by the writers) later on in Gun's "dream" again brilliantly acted out by both main leads. 4) All the scenes where we see Yotha interacting with Gun's family and try to establish a dynamic with them, it was heartwarming and sweet given Yotha's rough background. 5) The NC scene (albeit the crazy setting being Gun's house🤣) was sweet and showed a lot of chemistry between the two main leads, I like actors who show emotion whether it being through their tone and/or eyes and both actors excelled in that. I want to praise them both given the abrupt changes in cast that this production faced and them being only able to do 1 or 2 workshops together....think both have done well with the script they were given.
I am a big fan of both Perth and Santa. I am not a fan of YothaGun.Next week can't come too soon, so that we can…
The issue was resolved? He will not be getting into such antiques again anyways...the fight you saw here was a cumulative of his old shenanigans at the bar as explained its not a new "fight" he delved into or sought out once he promised to pursue Gun.
F*ck you new for messing up my favourite novel of this tri novel. Yotha gun was best novel they way they tried…
Thats GMM and New Siwaj in general they always shy away from dramatic/sad endings lol KlaoWarit and Yotha dynamic was sugar coated a lot more in the series (very patchy writing of this subplot) compared to the sourced novel sadly.
Amazing performance! I always liked him as an actor but now I just love him.
I think the director said before that Perth and Santa will only have cameos in that show they wont be a full on side couple (they do have their own story though so I wonder if they would adapt it later on).
GMM and New go again with the lame and safe route regarding the whole Klao/Warit/Yotha subplot wish they kept it like how it was in the novel but meh. None of these changes will ever make me like a character like Warit honestly.
GMM/New with their one-note "everyone forgives and loves everyone" default ending 🤦♀️
