While I don't blame you for not liking the way they handled the sa situation you gotta understand what they're…
Thank you for understanding. I get your point and like it too 😊 Jin must be trying to take away Akin's guilt with those words. And i am loving Jin-Akin Smart-Boom so much that I am at episode 7 and already feeling a hole in my heart that it's gonna end soon. These two are so addictive that I can't 🥹
so glad i found this comment 😢 this failure to address the SA properly really made me disappointed in this…
I have been watching Thai dramas for 11 years and they have tropified SA and r*** as romance initiator or plot device and I am, what can i say, trying to look at the other things that make a show good in spite of the aesthetisized SA, but it bothers me still and I try to talk abt it sometimes😬
While I don't blame you for not liking the way they handled the sa situation you gotta understand what they're…
I understand Jin. I didn't like what he did but I understand where he was coming from. And, yes, he apologizes to Akin and assures him that he didn't do anything wrong bc "he didn't sleep with Johny". I just don't agree with how the SA thing is handled here. There's never any case/probability/doubt/hypothesis of Akin "sleeping with" Johny. It's about Johny planning an SA on Akin and half executing it. So, the dialogue should've been more in tune with that. Like, not your fault, you were unconscious, you were taken advantage of, and it's not abt you sleeping with Johny, it's abt I couldn't be more grateful that you are safe and not r*p*d by Johny even tho that criminal molested you.
And the next scene abt haha how Johny sleeps around for getting roles, with cutesy music imo was very dissonant. This is just my opinion and my feelings. I still love the show no less. I love the actors and the story. But it does use an extremely sensitive topic like SA with levity like other shows and trust me, my 11 years as a Lakorn watcher has made me somewhat able to appreciate a show in spite of all that, but I am still bothered by this treatment. That's why I mentioned it.
I am loving both the actors' acting, but I am becoming more and more an Akin girl. I love his character, and I am hurting by how vulnerable he's becoming because of his circumstances and Jin. And I don't like how quickly Jin's trusting some random guy and saying all those hurtful things to Akin making him feel guilty and say sorry(?) when he's a victim of an almost sa in this situation and again this sa thing is treated here just like in other thai dramas and lakorns. Don't just brush it aside pls. Don't make it a plot device. When Akin is feeling horrible and crying before Jin, apologizing, the next scene really shouldn't be Jin sharing Johny's audio clips and bragging how he can't let him get away with messing (?) with Akin in a cutesy scene. AH please no! Say sorry, Jin, for not listening to Akin before blaming him. And pls don't make light of SA.
The show started reminding me of the story of A Star Is Born from the first. I was scared it would end that way…
I don't think they're gonna take that route in this one, at least in the end, or last season whatever it'll be. But the story is similar to A star is born and from a real-life perspective a sad ending seems more understandable. Heartbreaking like life.
that is why i can't yt right now because i have to take a call first.and you will not be disapointed.
I have seen it all almost i think in those videos. That's what's making me so crazy. Can't wait anymore to see these 2. Their chemistry has already melted my laptop screen.
From 'Top Form who?' to '15th May seems like 15 years', I blame it on the friggin FMVs (they should be paid by the production). ANd now it seems this is gonna be a 3-season venture 😭😭😭 Hope this won't end at a cliffhanger bc asian shows are notorious for super delaying/cancelling seasons. Hope i hate it so i don't wait for it like a lost turtle 😭😭😭
This was not even on my radar until YT pushed 19000 fmvs of it in my feed and I am not even complaining. Glad that now I have something to look forward to before MGB. Also, i was thinking where have i seen Boom's gorgeous face then i checked MDL and he was in the chain of hearts which i dropped bc it was kinda bonkers but can i just say Boom is just too frigging beautiful!!!
