Those pictures at the end better not be AI (^_^) but they probably are X-<
They DEFINITELY are. Some are more obvious than others, but I am 99% certain they all are AI garbage. There also is 0 artist credit in the credits, only "digital imaging technician"💀
I think the sound effects are just standard in a lot of Thai series and doesn't really have much to do with Siwaj himself. As for why people tend to dislike Siwaj's works, it's because he often takes the original work and butchers it. Either changing the story or characters completely. People also often criticize him for the way he directs kissing scenes, one of the actors even said something along the lines of "Who kisses like that?" once during filming.
I was thinking just that. It seems that so far this is the only muteluv without a happy ending for the main relationship…
For me it's less about the happy ending, and moreso about the clarity. Yes, they are all standalone stories, but I do find it odd that out of all 7 stories, the only two so far that ended in a vague way were the kathoey and the sapphic stories. I might feel a bit differently about it depending on how the currently airing DewJamie story ends, but I find it highly unlikely for him not to end up with at least one of the two girls.
Not to mention that the straight guy in the sapphic story did end up with someone in the end, once again hard confirmed. I don't know, I just find that kind of odd. In a vacuum, it doesn't mean much and is just a joke, but put into the context of the other stories, it feels like a pattern, and it just feels somewhat off to me.
This show was okay. The main problem is the lack of chemistry between the leads. Honestly, if you are going to…
Well yes, but another important aspect to take into consideration is the director. Several of his works have had the same problem. Not saying it isn't also on the actors, but I think with this being a pattern, the director is a viable suspect.
No, I'm pretty sure there are two episodes left. Don't know why no one has updated the total episode count on…
Yes, this is from the official twitter account, and they say it got changed from 11+1 episodes to 12, but they say nothing about whether or not there still will be a special episode. I don't know, it's just such a mess...
that’s not true. in diva deva mata, nobody ended up together despite them fighting for a man’s attention
Yep. Pretty much. I just wanted to be helpful, so I gave them a very basic idea of what the ending is like so they could decide for themselves on whether or not it would be worth it for them to watch it. I didn't expect for them to take that, combine it with some out of context tweets they saw, and act as if they know exactly what happens within the series. Anyway, I have definitely learned my lesson and will not be responding to them anymore. It's just not worth the headache...
Here's a link to the conversation (turned argument for some reason) I had with them that I think sparked this whole situation. https://mydramalist.com/780136-mu-te-love-love-in-the-number#comment-24726154 They wanted to know whether it was queerbait or not, to which I replied 3 weeks later and said it wasn't. Maybe I could have worded myself a bit better, but I do still feel like I was very clear about it.

Don't even bother. I've tried telling this person several times, but they love just taking a part of what I say, removing all context around it, and running with it. I tried to point out how queer people beyond mlm are treated by GMMTV and this person goes "LESBOPHOBIA!!!" like i think it's deeper than that actually.
I am begging everyone who are swearing up and down that this story isn't yuribait to please look at this with the context of the other stories in this series; all the main characters — except the kathoeys — end up hard confirmed in a relationship with someone. I find it odd that for the ONLY GL-coded story, they for some reason decided to leave it vague in the end. In a vaccum, I think the ending is fine, but knowing the way majority of the other stories have ended makes me look at it very differently.
YES! Yuribait is specifically about yuri; sapphics; wlw. In this case, the promotional material was very much implying NaLeemhai would be endgame. Is there technically yuri in this story? Yes! Absolutely! BUT in my opinion, it is still yuribait because, 1) it wasn't originally supposed to be a GL in the first place, and 2) because with the context of the other stories*, you would expect Na to get with someone at the end, and the promotional material, made it look like it was going to be Leemhai.
*In the other MuTeLuv stories, all the main characters end up hard confirmed in a relationship; the only exceptions are in Diva Deva Mata (the kathoey storyline) where all of them end up single, and now in Hello, Is This Luck? where it's vaguely implied Na and Leemhai get together after meeting up 6 months later.
