thank you! Today's episode made me wonder if I remembered the novel correctly even though I read it not long ago lol. I will definitely read Kian and Peach novel, but I wanted to wait until the series is over or i might spend too much time comparing them!

did they change RomeMhok story a bit for the series? i haven't read Me and Thee novel, but I've read RomeMhok novel and if i remember correctly, they were already pretty much together when Mhok decided to follow Thee to Thailand, right? i know Mhok said he wanted to be a better man to deserve Rome before going back to him, but weren't they already official in front of the family ?

Why do I see this series being compared to others whose genre, and storytelling are entirely different? I don't see the point in comparing the plot or cinematography of a thriller and a comedy for example; it doesn't make much sense. Some series are made to be beautiful and profound, others just to relax and have a good time. I don't think Me and Thee pretends to be anything other than a simple romantic comedy that plays on soap opera stereotypes.

Let people enjoy what they want, and stop over-intellectualizing every piece of media you encounter, or delegitimizing it simply because it doesn't interest you personally. Not everything is meant to be extremely intelligent or philosophical, and that doesn't mean it's any less important!

"if something happens to me one day, I'll believe you did your best", when i tell you i CRIED

It's a comedy that borrows the codes and clichés of telenovelas/soap-opera. Super funny if you like cheesy lines, exaggerated camera work and dramatic music. I personally love it

a bit sad that they changed the way Shizuma forgives Minato, it was too quick and way less emotional than in the manga :(

plot twist: bestfriend, team leader and café guy will end up as a hot and chaotic throuple while Doha remains oblivious to everything happening around him and goes on with his life like nothing ever happened and starts dating a secret fourth guy we've never heard of that he meets in the last episode

'Ode to the old times' by Night of Lifetime :)

frr I'd hate it if someone used my friend's feelings to get close to me instead. I'm pretty sure they won't end up together cause with 2 episodes left, it's a bit short to develop their story 🥲 But if somehow Doha ends up with team leader, I'd love a sequel about bestie and café guy and how bestie falls for him despite his hatred 😌

thoughts after binging the 6 current episodes: It's giving 'Secret relationships but make it softer'. Not a fan of Doha's personality. Team leader seems to be the most respectful one, but I feel like the series want us to root for the bestfriend. I think the bestfriend and café guy should kiss. They have that enemy to lover energy

i know gmmtv never does sad or open endings, but here I think this would've made the series (or at least the last episode) a lot more interesting! Their story was a summer love, a romance that should've never happened if they had met in a different time and context. A lot of people experience summer romance and never see each other again once their trip is over, living their lives only with memories of a sweet but ephemeral time. Most of the series plot revolves around Wave's memory (or absence of it). In my opinion, It would have been a beautiful ending to let Davin leave the island with only that: fragments of his memory as Wave, which he would have continued to recall as he went about his daily life, without ever really being able to return to those moments. Yes, it's kinda sad, but also it would've highlighted what Lava's mom said about missing her husband: "I do nothing, i just keep living. It becomes a part of life. There were so many good memories, i don't need to forgive them. It's better to keep them and cherish them."
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk 🫡

watching the first episode and came here to say how much the team leader looks like Est but apparently it's not an original thought lmao

the boathouse by nickolas jones

they really chose the best actors for these roles, it feels like I'm looking at the manga itself, especially for Minato!!

Unfortunately this wasn't for me, i liked the actors + their chemistry, and the production is obviously good, but the story lacked coherence sometimes imo. Some topics could have been explored further, while others took up too much time. Still, not bad overall, just not made for me

re watched it last night, i still need a second season about the second couple btw

no frr it was a dramatic scene but such a funny plot twist i couldn't help but laugh lmaoo

it's cute, it's funny, and the kiss was great!!! it's not a complex plot and i would've like the vampire stuff to be more developped, but it still deserves a higher rating imo

i thought Charn and Jet were freaky last episode, didn't expect Peem and Khem to be ✨️freakier✨️ the slow burn was worth it lmaoo
