When did he act clueless he was actually the one expecting things when Thame was thinking innocently bc it is…
I guess rather than clueless I should’ve insisted on ‘innocent’. What grown man starts getting all flustered and panicked at the thought of sex? I get performance anxiety, but he looked like the thought didn’t even cross his mind before Thame picked up the ‘condom’ box.
But the most annoying point to me is the lack of initiative when they are both alone together after being an established couple. Why the big round eyes after your boyfriend who you just had sex with kisses you? It feels like Est lost all personality after they got together and now he is just there to ‘receive’ Thame’s affection…
Po is a grown man who has been in a committed long-term relationship before... Why is he acting so clueless in front of Thame, who is in his first ever relationship? He should be leading here, but instead they got such an unrealistic dynamic. It feels like Thai bl producers will get a stroke if they don't make one of the lead act like a naive oblivious puppy, which is so frustrating.
So far I'd say it's a very well shot but boring drama... Kind of a no fault when it comes to Thai bls (especially for GMMTV), but everything feels very forgettable? The Jun drama could've made things interesting if it went further, but it feels like the cast being an already established idol group they couldn't risk one of the members damaging their image by becoming a villain, so they didn't push it.
Overall it's everything I would've hoped for in 2014 when actors still had a hard time with skinship and writers didn't know how to move forward a story without using misunderstandings as a plot device. But getting rid of those flaws doesn't make for an engaging story by default... I also think they should've aired it entirely in 2024 as a last quarter feel good drama for everyone to end the year on a good note, because ending it like this in the middle of the first quarter will just prompt everyone to forget about it by spring.
Alright Joong was definitely the star of this drama... I wish he was given a more seasoned partner, but Dunk managed to not be too awkward the entire show that their scenes were still enjoyable (but really who told him to put his hands on his hips as default it's just such an unnatural pose it took me out every time lmao)
I’m hoping they’re planning on multiple seasons. I haven’t read the webtoon but I know it would take several…
I hope s2 is as good as the 1st one it might give hope for a s3!
And I wouldn’t recommend the webtoon, it doesn’t go as deep into each character so it ends up kind of a cliché bully vs underdog story, they really leveled it up for the live action!
Is only part of the cast revealed or are we dropping many characters from the webtoon?
I’m wondering if they’re planning a season 3 because how could they possibly fit 250+ chapters into this season when they had the whole first season based on only 12 chapters…
I read the webtoon after watching this drama and I’m amazed at how they could create such an engaging story with so little to work with… For once you can say that the adaptation surpasses the source material, and by far! I can’t wait for season 2 whether they can keep this up
This show is so badly written... GMMTV writers used up all their potential for the ArmSandPo trio and gave up for the rest ahh
I've realized while watching episode 14 that one of the big reason GMMTV shows have lacked in quality writing recently is that they try to force some weirdly *educational* content in every episode. I want to watch something genuine, believable, not have the rules of consent and relationship 101 forced down my throat. But target demographic being tweens it's fair game I guess.
Thank God you're in the minority and everyone else loves them so much that their popularity is increasing. It…
@Maxy If nobody was ever critical of anything, we would never get any improvement. If you just look a few years back, there used to be a complete erasure of skin ship between same sex couples, there was always the 'ex-girlfriend trope', constant homophobia, etc... And we spoke up, things evolved.
Now I'm speaking up against awful writing and lackluster acting, because really sometimes it feels like we are farm animals being fed whatever just because they know we'll eat it up. If more people asked for quality over quantity, then maybe GMMTV would hear us and work on their shortcomings. So no, I will not leave this comment section because you're angry I'm not appreciating this show as much as you'd like.

@Bl_fanaticcccc Who says I'm in the minority? I've seen a bunch of negative comments on this page... And many shy away from speaking up because of people like you who say their opinion doesn't matter.
How tf are they going to extend GunYotha's storyline until ep 16 and not make it utterly insufferable?
I'm bored out of my mind with them... GMMTV had the potential to create something actually interesting with Warit! I honestly would've been way more entertained if him and Yotha still had feelings for each other and the situation turned a bit more messy. What if Klao was right to be jealous all along? Now that's engaging drama. Instead they pull this nonsensical plot twist that doesn't go anywhere because happy endings are a requirement and GMMTV hates taking risks smh
I’m not one to be against nudity/lewd scenes, but really…
I hated the focus on Hyejong’s body (the director forced her to wear that tight dress, and was her showing her breasts really necessary??) and Sara’s forced sexual scenes (the drugs and tax evasion was more than enough to ruin her, why do we need to portray her masturbating in public and acting submissive under a man’s d***) . This was all very unecessary and didn’t bring anything to the story.
I look forward to SK being more liberated regarding sexuality in their dramas but this was really not it :/

They were claiming they wouldn’t let her drink/eat at all on sets, would throw things at her, leave her stranded after shooting, etc…
Why isn’t mentioned here? Or was it just rumors?
