well that was another level of abusive relationship, when i thought things couldn't get worse they did so 9/10 for insane characters and plot i guess lol
It’s just that there is so much to unpack?Like many no brainer stories have 10, 12 episodes with basically nothing…
No i definitely agree with you and with everyone being afraid or disappointed with only 5 episodes! It's a deep story with really nuanced characters, so of course more than 5 eps would be better. I was just thinking about how we had GMMTV series with lots of episodes full of nothing sometimes and felt like MAYBE (hopefully 😭) 5 episodes isnt so bad if done right ahah I also thought about "Your name engraved herein" which also beautifully addressed the subject of religion and homosexuality in a two-hour movie. So i figured that five 45 minutes episodes could probably also do justice to the subject! (even though i know a movie and a series are written differently for obvious reasons lol)
Let's pray (no pun intended) for a great series despite its shortness!!🙏
i know we're all surprised or disapointed about getting only 5 episodes for a series with such a deep plot, but tbh i'd rather have 5 really good episodes than 10 or 12 mediocre ones with lots of unecessary filler scenes or a second couple taking half the time of the main story ! I trust P'Aof and his ability to give us a wonderful story, even in such a short time :)
Me and Thee is great, not only because it's a light and funny series, but also because it was really different from what we're used to with gmmtv BL. Usually gmmtv gives us a bit of everything in a series, from comedy to more serious or darker topics. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it can sometimes prevent us from grasping the overall theme of the series (for example, based on the trailer for Head2Head, i thought i would watch something pretty intense and dark, but it turns out it was mostly fluffy).
But from the very beginning and until the end, Me and Thee stayed true to itself as a soap opera/romcom. The tone was set from the very first episode and our expectations were met each week. Every saturday, i knew i would watch funny and chaotic characters, and that was AMAZING!! (rating it 9.5/10. the 0.5 deduction is because I didn't like that Ran ended up with Tawan, and because Rome and Mhok didn't kiss lol)
overall not bad, but some episodes were kind of repetitive so it could've been a 10eps only series imo
and even though I was rooting against them, Farm and Van plot was what kept me coming back every sunday, i liked their dynamic when Van wasn't a complete assh*le lol
i have to say Van crying scene was really believable: his squeaky trembling voice, the way he tried talking nonchalantly about his family's house to avoid breaking into tears but we could still hear the lump in his throat, and then the ugly sobs and sniffing. Big kudos to Java, i think he nailed it!!
i love that Mai took the time to explain to Van how shitty he acted, but now i need to hear these words from Farm. i need him to properly crash out in front of Van and tell him directly how his behaviours affected him. And then, i need Farm to find someone who truly respects him
i loved the more mature and darker plot, but somehow i unfortunately feel like the end was a bit flat or too easy? something was missing imo, but I'm still glad we're getting kbl with bolder plots from time to time, it was a good watch
I learned that lesson after watching "Blank" week by week. Now I always wait for a drama to (almost) finish…
Same, i now try to wait a few weeks before starting some series (especially the promising ones), but it's hard to wait when i don't know what to watch, self control is key lol
as the series is about to end, I'm finally starting it (i knew i would've died waiting each week for one episode). After watching the first episode i can definitely say ClaireBell highly deserves its rating. From the music to the lightings and general cinematography, every scene could easily be a photograph!! I'm amazed by the quality
