I loved several new aspects of Episode 5: -- The episode broke completely with the Bangkok-centric world (at least…
Aek is the one who saves Aue. He already helped him overcome his breakdown in his kitchen. This episode shows what his strength is based on - he knows, and loves his roots. Now it is Aek who leads Aue to places that remind him of his youth and roots, the simple and basic cuisine, the simple living conditions, religion. All this beautifully told. I have nothing to complain about.
I liked this episode because finally we get an idea why Fiat became the character he is. In real life it would take more than a loving boyfriend to heal his early childhood trauma, though.
I disagree with those who do not like Jimmy's acting. I think he is very good. Without doubt Choi Jae Hyun, Jung…
I think all the actors are amazing. Just look at Soo Jin in ep 9. I guess this bears the mark of a director who is able to make actors perform at the top of their talents and skills.
It was great to see Boun and Prem together again, but I can only hope that the upcoming "Hemp Rope Special" won't be as sad as this. When I noticed Earth was in this again, I already knew there would be some crying, but did it have to be that much? And: could we please get a little more of Santa?
I know I'm repeating myself, but I have to say once more that Jae Hyun simply blows my mind. His acting is perfect, and his voice is just wow. Apart from that - a fairy tale needn't be logical, so let the ghosts eat when they are hungry.
For me, this was the best episode so far. Leon and Phob's story is really heartwarming, and also acted out very well. And there was no whitewashing of Fiat's past this time. But I must admit I'm scared of that Queen Bee mum.
I like this series more and more. Kaleb, who appeared a little stiff in the first episode, was great especially after the interrupted kissing scene, and David is a perfect match for him. The Shakespeare/Inton plot is becoming exciting, and also well acted. Omeng and Lemuel were lovely again. I was a little afraid they wouldn't keep up the good production quality of the first episodes, but they did in every respect. The only thing I can complain about is that episodes are too short.
