Least favorite episode so far. Thai comedy really isn't for me. While basically everyone seems to find it hilarious here I am thinking... what's so funny about this? Everything feels so forced.
But anyway, next episode the story will go back to following the OG's storyline. I'm kind of excited to see how replacing the wife with the daughter will influence the development of what's going to happen between Heng and the boss.
I don't have much to say about today's episode. It was slightly better than episode 1 but at the same time less entertaining, at least for me. The only two scenes I enjoyed were 1) the boss explaining the meaning of the nickname he gave to Heng, and 2) the boss and Mo acting like nothing happened after their fight at the rooftop.
With this episode now I can confidently say that the boss is my favorite character in this version. I'm rooting for him even though I know it's pointless ๐
Also, mid-episode I got worried about the pace of the story. I felt things were happening way too fast compared to the original version; especially since this remake is almost twice as long as the original. But after watching next episode's preview, now everything makes sense. They are straying away from the original story and adding different plotlines / mini-arcs. I have no idea what to expect now. Hopefully they don't disappoint me too much ๐ฎโ๐จ
Why would I give feedback for a show that is already recorded? Unless GMM is going to read my comments and make changes, that would just be a waste of time lol.
Also, I have no idea where you got the idea that I wanted the Japanese humor to be removed; my main fear was literally that they wouldn't be able to replicate the type of comedy that Japanese dramas have.
But oh well, I hope you had fun with your comment. You can block me if you want because I'll be here every week to complain about this remake ๐
So this is what they did to my beloved Ossan's Love... I see....... Well, let's start off with the good parts: everyone looked great and the intro song was fun and suited the show imo. Also, I think the boss will become my favorite character in this version ๐ . So far, I feel the actor playing the boss is the only one portraying his character properly.
Now, as for the average and bad parts, that's going to be a longer list:
- I already knew in this version the wife would be dead and would be replaced with a daughter, but it still hurts!!!! Choko (the wife in the original) was soooo iconic and had so many great scenes with the main leads. I already miss her so much ๐
- One thing that bothered me a lot were both confession scenes. They were so iconic and chaotic in the original but the Thai version just watered them down to the point they felt so dull.
- Also, maybe it's because I love the OG actor in the Japanese version too much, but tbh I feel Earth's portrayal of Heng was off. Instead of making me like Heng for how silly, kind, and clumsy he is supposed to be, it made me feel annoyed by how obnoxious and childish he was. Sigh... What a shame because I LOVE Haruta in the original.
- Ngl, I'm not the biggest fan of the fact that in this version Heng and Mo already know each other. But oh well...
- The comedy........ Well, definitely not great but I've seen worse and I already knew it wouldn't be as funny as the original so I won't complain too much about it... for now.
Tbh, there are other things that I want to say but this comment is too long so I'll stop here ๐
