Episode 3 was really something.. The only reason I am not dropping this is because of how good episodes 1-2 were,…
I unfortunately have to agree :( I know there’s comedy in this but the food scenes were just too silly in my opinion and after such a strong start with EP 1 and 2, it just felt so out of place and didn’t fit the running theme they had. It definitely could have been executed better, but I also feel like it has to do with the director’s background being more well-versed in lakorn…Thai lakorn viewers love overexagerrations like this.
I’m hoping with how serious EP 4 looks, all the silliness with the extra effects will simply stay in EP 3 and we won’t see it again at all 🤞🏼
TBH it kind of gets very very veeeeery slow. Almost nothing happens. And when it does, it copies what Legend of…
I feel like you kind of have to read in between the lines re: the cooking, I’m assuming he learned most from his grandma.
I do get what you mean by the virgins part but you have to take into consideration that this is set in Ayutthaya period where loving men isn’t something “common” and also not something most would even consider. Arranged marriages (rather than marriage for love) were also more common in this era, so I feel like his reaction fits the period it’s set in. Based on his “ranking” too, I don’t think he’s ever had time to consider love or dating lol.
I agree that EP 3 felt slower, almost like a filler EP, but the next one looks like it’s action packed! Please don’t give up yetttttt 🥹
Re: Durian. Durian IS an acquired taste but actually, there’s so, so, so many types of durian nowadays that you’re bound to find something you like. There are certain durians that I prefer more than others! I’ve never tried it in crisp form like they showed in the series but I think the smell will always be there (just a little less pungent 😂).
in the recent gmmtv livehouse episode, leng said that he got through gmmtv and kidnap through casting (and at the time did not know who he would act alongside with). so every butthurt person who accused him of getting things through connections better apologise 🤷🏻♀️
actually, i’m a little confused with regards to why nueng is so rude and hates pim so much - i understand that she was grieving and hated that pim was around her dad so soon after her mom died, and she was a teenager too at the time, which was fair. but in the flashback in ep 9, pim wasn’t removing her mom’s pictures, she was just going to get the maid to get them cleaned but in nueng fashion, she thought differently and didn’t even give a chance for pim to properly explain (the flashback was very brief though, so there might be more to the story that we still don’t know about). still, even with that as a backstory it’s still quite difficult for me to sympathise with her since so far she’s been shown to be selfish and bratty with no regards to anyone’s feelings (including ppl she claims to be her friends).
this is my first time watching punpun and i quite like the energy she and tay has together. read up her profile and didn’t realise she was (is?) quite problematic though granted that her scandals happened 6-8 years ago and she has (hopefully) changed for the better. but can’t help but wonder too if the reason she’s playing the role of nueng so well is bc myb she’s like that irl too? 🤭
honestly, i had really high expectations for this series bc i enjoyed jimmy's performance in bad buddy, and was excited to see him in a main role, and the fact that ohm and nanon were going to cameo sold it for me as well. but a series that had so much potential just ended up being a disappointment in the end (and yes, i did watch all 12 eps).
it started out fairly good tbh and i loved the whole concept of the multiverse thing and thought there were so many good angles they could go with but i guess things got lost in translation along the way. there were just too many plotholes and too many unsolved issues and there were so much timeskips? i understand that it'd be difficult to cram the entire plot in 12 eps but some of the timeskips were so jarring and weirdly placed. also - can gmmtv limit the amount of sponsors they take for a show? lmao this was so ad heavy like i don't mind tie-ins if they're done well but so many of the tie-ins and ads in VV were in your face and out of place (like why do they need to brush their teeth in every damned ep??!"?!?!"?"?)
what i did enjoy from the show: the friendship. i loved the side characters a lot, esp aou and up and felt like they brought so much light to the show. i enjoyed sea's acting too, esp in the last ep when he cried as he came back to his mom (that rly pulled on my heartstrings). i liked that they hinted at aoufuse being canon.
ngl, i was a little disappointed at jimmy's acting. i don't think he's bad per se, but i think he needs a bit more practice and workshops bc a lot of the times it felt like he was very aware of the cameras and he was trying his best to look good rather than focus on being his character. the kisses weren't bad, but they didn't make me feel much. their cheek/forehead kisses were cuter imo.
all in all, i think the writing and directing for this series just fell short. if you're looking for something simple and cute, then you'd like it. but if you're expecting more from the whole travelling universes plot, then i'd say save your time and watch smth else lol.
