Difficult beginning, hoping it pays off (update: it gets better)

I found Win’s character to be very off-putting in the first episode. To the point where I’m not sure I want to continue. But I will. He treats his supposed best friend terribly, when presumably he should know Korn’s character better than that. His behavior towards his sister afterwards is straight-up abusive. I’m sure there’s a backstory to this behavior, but I don’t think I care. Hopefully some redemption will follow, because right now all I see are red flags. And not the exciting kind.Acting is good. I felt the bond between Win and Korn, and there were several scenes that showed stronger emotions. Their chemistry is great.Update: I’m on episode 3 now and it is much more enjoyable. Like a different character. I won’t say much more, but the chemistry of all three in the triad is very good. Impressed with the woman that plays Lin. So, if you were upset after the first episode and happen to see this, give it a shot.

Did we watch date with AtomKongthap or FourthGemini?

I'm actually deeply confused about the last episodes. I think I'm missing something from the manga because if I remember correctly, the characters were so much different, specially the main character here played by Fourth. Am I missing something or did they just changed his personality traits?In the japanese adaptation named Kieta Hatsukoi, the characters were more realistic perhaps they seemed more alive and they were pretty much acting like a normal person would. I don't hate this thai adaptation, don't get me wrong it's great and sweet but it's really THAI of them when you think about it. There's so much unnecessary amount of humour and it made the whole masterpiece look like a joke. It's not necessarily a bad thing, more like a reminder to people.There is also so much product placement, are we watching FourthGemini or the products? Made me laugh but also got me angry at some point, their advertising is working.The last thing, the whole 6 ep felt like watching a vlog of FourthGemini, did they just forgot their roles for a moment there? This whole story doesn't feel like the story of AtomKongthap, more like the story of FourthGemini. For some reason, I don't think they're acting, I just can't see it. All I can see is two boys enjoying some quality time together. Somehow, I don't think it was intentionally done by the directors, it feels like it's a mistake of the actors themself. They're not playing their roles, they're playing themselves. Don't get me wrong, I love them and I love their work big fan, BUT their character traits doesn't match neither do gestures, something feels off.The original story is not bad, it's simple but greatly done, amazing characters and interesting storylines. For me, pleasant show with heartwarming interactions. But this adaptation has nothing to do with the original story. It's just so different and the whole vibe is off and it's just doesn't fit. I love My Love Mix-Up! but it's not the same story as Kieta Hatsukoi, never will be.I'll continue with my watching, have a great day!- zero
