Color grading is mood dependent. It's like how most horror movies are on a gray scale. It's trying to establish this as a serious crime drama. I'm actually a fan of shows deviating from the norm, personally, but I understand why they do it.

Seriously! His one shot to be the main love interest is very likely canceled. It's not fair.

Right? I was just coming to the comments to see if anyone else felt like it was an unflattering pic. He's so pretty on screen.

I read that this will be based more closely on the manga than the Japanese version, so I started reading the manga, and now I'm nervous. I didn't want a carbon copy of the Japanese version just in Thai, but I had no idea just how much the live action added charm and humor to the story. Hats off to the screenwriters and director of the Japanese one, because they took the essence of a pretty plain story and made it something special.

To be fair, I'm only like ten chapters in, so maybe things change, but the manga makes everyone so much less likable. Plus it's full of old cliches that I hate and was relieved to see being used less often in live action stuff. For example, in the manga, there's a lot of focus on how both of the guys are straight. I have my fingers crossed that we won't have to deal with a bunch of that again. Ideally they'll modernize it a bit (less "it's okay if it's you," less homophobia and such), flesh it out better like the first live action adaptation did, then give it its own new type of charm. Here's hoping.

Same! They're both the bad guys in my mind at this point. There's unrequited love, and then there's creepy, pushy, toxic behavior. Playing the victim after refusing to take no for an answer is gross.

Exactly! I was saying that the entire time my friend and I were watching. Mint is the female equivalent of the "Nice Guy" stereotype, and if the roles were reversed, this would all be very different. It's so strange to me how people missed what was intended and somehow thought Mint and Dew were a sweet couple that just suddenly ended.

All of the comments about them dating right after the show aired were making me feel like I was losing my mind or something. I'm relieved to come back to the comments and find a bunch like this that took the words right out of my mouth. There's so much wrong here, and hopefully that's all intentional. My fear is that we're supposed to feel sympathy for this person when they're being gross and selfish. But maybe that's the point. Here's hoping it ends up being satisfying.

I felt the same way about all of those things! I do think Vee is coming from a place of insecurity, though, so I hope he has a chance to redeem himself. Unlike the other person, who is so pushy and over-the-top about her feelings that she's coming across as delusional and creepy. I've noticed there's a theme of unrequited love in this show, at least four examples of it with hints of more.

Also, that fake out was just cheap and made me respect the show less. I'm not giving up on it yet, but give me a break. You showed us what you showed us, then you undid it in the next episode to drag it out even more. It isn't a good kind of anticipation now. It just feels irritating. Maybe five will redeem the show, but I'm nervous moving forward.

The trailer is expected to come out in March, apparently? They're casting this month though, so yay. Fingers crossed this is good.

They're casting this month. ^^

He's so beautiful, he doesn't seem real.

Right? I sure hope things start to clear up, because I love Ohm and Fluke, and I want to like this show. But it's definitely making me nervous thus far.

It feels more than embarrassing to me. It's starting to give me Fatal Attraction vibes. If this were a guy who wouldn't ease off of a girl, no one would be defending him. My only hope is that the show is intentionally showing how unstable she is. I'm afraid that we're supposed to sympathize with her and feel bad for her, because if anything she's making me intensely uncomfortable. Her delusions are going to get Dew hurt. She's not acting like a good friend at all, like the girl equivalent to a "Nice Guy," where she hovers around wanting something more, no matter the cost.

But if we're supposed to find it off-putting, great. It's definitely working. If we're supposed to empathize with her, this ain't it. And I agree, the dude simping over her is super embarrassing and pathetic. What's with all of the obsessive, one-sided love on this show?

I don't get where people are getting this. What part did he ever accept it? He just tells her over and over that they're better off as friends. Are people just confused because Mint is delusional and keeps saying they're gonna start dating soon? Because Dew never once says that he's dating her.

Dew was never dating Mint. She repeatedly asked him, and he repeatedly shot her down. He's clearly afraid to be honest and authentic about his sexuality, but he never led her on or told her he loved her like that. I'm not sure where people are getting that, but every time she says she loves him or wants to date him, he says she's his best friend and he doesn't want to ruin what they have. It's creepy that Mint won't just take a hint. Even the guy who's simping over her says he suspects Dew is actually gay and thus incapable of loving her the same way.

So yeah, he genuinely loves her--as a friend. Mint just won't accept it to the point of delusion. The other stuff though, yeah, I can't explain that. I'm trying to give the show the benefit of the doubt, but we'll see if any of that is ever explained. Just like how Mint has been in love with this guy and he's her best friend, but Mum has never heard of him or seen a picture of him or even heard his name? It's not like they aren't regularly in each other's lives.

It's not filler, to be fair. These are characters that will be part of the mystery, and their circumstances play into what happens later. That being said, I could have done without an entire episode devoted to them. All it did was make me hate Mint and all of the characters defending her obsession and refusal to take no for an answer.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and guess this will be out February 8th, just based on the fact that the other two seem to be coming out first, and the release schedule is two episodes every Wednesday.

With two weeks left in the year, I highly doubt we're getting this one in 2022. Hopefully it'll come out soon, though.

Well it's a collection, and one of the shows is six episodes, so I think naturally the other two will also be six. But I guess we'll see.

Jimmy had to drop out of a lot of his projects due to mental health issues. He's only in a small part for one show in 2023. Hopefully he gets the treatment he needs to come back strong in 2024.
