Not my crush!

It's always great when you start a drama for one reason - and come out with a plethora of other likes. I'll just list them here because there was a lot to like about this.

1) The comedy - I started this for the comedy. I didn't have many expectations to be honest, keeping in mind both the trailer and Hi! By My Luck (the previous part of MuTeLuv) didn't quite have the kind and amount I expected respectively. But this one was actually good. Firstly, the entire cast brought the laughs, main or support. Second, the comedy didn't rely entirely on one type of comedy, they tried multiple genres and most of them worked!

2) The romance - I loved Parn and Nani in this. Don't know if it was the characters or the actors chemistry, whatever it was, they were a treat to watch on screen.

3) The characters - The great thing about comedy is that you can have several characters with varying personalities and have them all be funny. I especially loved how Wutkrai and Fay were written, four episodes is not a lot to have great characterization, but for four episodes, they did great. I wish Ploy and Phu had a bigger impact on me, but it happened in a different way than I thought it would..

.. finally. 4) The cast - I am impressed.
First with Parn. I've seen a bunch of her work, and she really brought some nuance and depth to her character that I very much appreciated.
Then Jaoying, I really liked her as Fay, the perfect mix of supportive friend and knock some sense into you onlooker. There was something about the character and her portrayal that made Fay so likeable.
I also thought Joke as Father was good - he was quite hilarious when it came to that.

Before I close out this section, my penultimate mention is Prem. Oh my sweet boy. His work on his last few previous shows had me convinced he could not act but he somehow proved me wrong here. You need a skill set to do comedy and he may have that! Again, his character didn't quite leave much of an impact on me, but I have a bit more hope now that with the right script and the right to move his face, he can bring something to the screen.

Finally - Nani! My gosh. He can do serious and comedy! His comedic timing was perfect, his character was written quirkily enough that you immediately like him and his soft and sweet side was on full display for four episodes. Plus the styling? Wow.

Of course there were a few things that I think could have been better. They weren't bad, per se, but they weren't exactly to my liking either. It's a me thing, so you may like them, but I'll just mention so all the information is in the review.

1) The story - now I didn't have much expectations from the story even going in, I just needed it to be coherent, which to their credit, it was. I just didn't like the way it flowed. Especially the last episode. It just felt like a Hail Mary they threw in to quickly wrap the story up, and while some of the plotlines were incredible (maybe not incredible, but they were good), a lot of them just didn't hit the right spots.

Not many negatives there I guess, so if you're looking for a fun, albeit slightly alarming plot, give this a try.

Not a cult hit

There is a promising premise beneath the desperately unfunny over the top humor tone to everything with how despite initially joining the cult undercover with clear intention knowing it's a grift, Phu still falls for the charlatan cult leader's snake oil that appeals to his ego and he even takes over the cult in the end along with Ploy who also thought they could have an ethical cult. There is also an undercurrent of the cult being a satirical take on the Idol and fan system and relationship, especially in the second iteration, not unlike GMMTV's Idol events. The overall execution however is a big, long, dragged out dud despite only being 4 episodes. Nani is the lone bright spot in the entire show. He's got an inherently serious vibe that when he has to portray the over the top tone as officer Wutkrai that delusionally believes he has magic skills, there's actually a grounding balance that makes him funny. I think the show would have worked much better if the rest of the characters was cast the same way, with the most serious feeling actors, preferably with gravitas and screen presence. Phu's storyline definitely should have been given to an actor that has stronger acting abilities.

I liked

I find it funny that GMMTV hits the mark much more with the larkons than with the BLs. It's true that 4 episodes make the story more concise and interesting. What I liked the most about this series was the dynamic between Parn and Nani. Prem, in my opinion, still has the same bad acting as always, but even he is better here than in the BL Revamp. I found it a series with humor and drama in the right places, and the story isn't entirely new Hollywood has already tackled this subject in the movies Get Out and Midsommar. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

Pleasantly Surprising!

I went into this not expecting much; Though the first part of MuTeLuv was good, you can never expect GMMTV to be consistent. However, I am truly pleasantly surprised!

Everyones acting was really good, I especially loved seeing Nani in such a comical role. Overall, the story takes itself just as seriously as it should, which adds to the humour yet keeps the initial mystery alive.

Really fun watch, I would definitely recommend!

Fun to watch

This second series of the MeTeLuv anthology, with a cult and mind-control vibe, will show how Ploy (played by Parn) and Phupha (played by Prem) will try to put an end to this cult with a Police Inspector, Wutkrai (played by Nani).
You'll have a good time watching the series, to be honest with you, taking down the cult didn't really interest me; it was the romance between Ploy and Wutkrai that I liked. They were cute, and I also appreciated the humor in it.
It's a quick, easy watch, no-brainer. I recommend it

Not my Favorite MuTeLuv so far, but it was fun to watch.

Didn't expect a drama about a cult to be fun but here we are.
I don't have much to say tbh. It was great, funny and short.
Ploy is really a nice person and I love her bestfriend so much.

I can not wait for the next one.

This was such a fun and lighthearted comedy to watch! The show nailed it with its clever take on real-life. The whole cast gave a good performance, but Joke, Nani, and Prem were the standouts for me. Joke deserves major props for bringing to life a seductive con artist leading a cult and manipulating his followers. His performance was flawless from start to finish.

It was my first time seeing Nani act, and I was genuinely impressed. Comedy is tough, but he nailed it! Wutkrai was hilarious , a total mess, ridiculously lucky, and sweet in the most innocent way.

And my baby Prem? Just wow. He completely blew me away in this role. He started off as someone trying to investigate and expose the cult led by “Father,” but as the series went on, you could see those subtle flashes of madness in his eyes. That final episode was chef’s kiss , absolutely perfect.

PLOY IN MY HEART ?ིฅི♡

This mini-drama made me feel sorts of emotions srsly. Mystery, Thriller, Comedy, Romance, Drama!! It started with an unhinged storyline and it's like *don't let them know your next move* esp in the first 2 eps. It was beautifully absurd and weird and it rlly got my humor and attention.

I love how the story surrounds a cult (smthng rlly unique) and then the characters are all so lovable. I enjoyed Ploy and Phu at the beginning, and Wutkrai's small screentimes at first rlly gets you to keep watching. Wutkrai's mere existence in the show is literally a treat, the style, aura, and comedic timing is there 😍 Also finally a strong, capable, not annoying fl 🙌

WutPloy encounters are so fun and heart-fluttering. It's like the old school bickering when you like someone. I liked it even more when a subtle love triangle was forming after they got out from the cult. I was also rooting for Phu despite his villain era at the end, and his character was one with the deepest emotional issue so that was smthng good to have in a short drama. Not familiar with Phu's actor and some fans seem not to like his acting but as someone unfamiliar of him i think he pulled out the character just well.

So again the villain era and cult rebranding at the end was an interesting direction to take the story. Speaking of cult, the DADDY MOMMY titles are so freaking unhinge and funny 555. The original FATHER's actor (more like MOTHER) is a familiar face from many dramas/movies so that added to the comedic value of it.

Down to the loveline again!!! Nani and Parn need to work on smthng tgt again cause they have natural chemistry, preferably romcom like this one (🤞). When I tell you I smile like crazy in front of my phone watching them, I mean it 🥰 Esp when Wutkrai was tailing Ploy to protect her man if i didn't know your agenda I'd think you're actually just rizzing/courting her and it's done in a funny comedic way so it's not cringe or awkward! The whole time i was like 'if that isn't love then i don't know what that is' and thankfully they like eo ㅠㅠ❤️

Overall, in a span of only 4 episodes, this drama had so much to offer and make you feel. One moment you're unbelievably laughing, one moment you're emotional, and one moment you're internally screaming because the leads are so suited with eo. So much substance for just a short amount of time. I rlly recommend this one. It's the only drama from the whole anthology that I watched. I initially wanted to check out Sky's too but i was leaning more to this one and it didn't disappoint.

ps. more straight romcoms for Nani 🔥

Go bonkers or go broke!

Prem, Nani and Joke (a.k.a. "the Father"), with support from very reliable Earn and FELIZZ member Jaoying, push "MuTeLuv" deeper into crazy territory – and everything is as it should be. Funny, bizarre, sad and scary, "Not My Father!" surprises with a layered story and concise writing, aptly translated to the screen by good, slightly unhinged performances. With minimal introductory exposition the show takes you on a well-paced ride where every section (episode) is weirder than the previous one.

While overtly a comedy with rom-com bits, "Not My Father!" stays serious where it needs to. It goes further than that when showing brainwashed cult members, conditioned to react to a silly song with an equally silly dance. It’s played for laughs, but when you think about – it’s not funny at all; actually it’s scary.

Three main layers of the story are tied to three main "crazies": Nani’s Wutkrai – the funny crazy, Joke’s "Father" – the sleazy crazy, and Prem’s Phupar – the evil crazy.

Nani does a decent job as a rom-com main character, almost entirely avoiding the annoying, pretentious pose he used in "Highschool Frenemy". His character is a bit full of himself, but is genuinely funny and has his heart in the right place – Nani mostly succeeds in conveying that.

Joke deserves praise for his performance as a manipulative conman, a sleazy fraud with an earplug prompting personal details of his victims. All about "Father" is a fabrication, including his self-confidence; once the fake front is peeled off, all that’s left is a slimy weakling – and not a very bright one. Joke does a lot for "Father" to be like many real-life cult leaders: an unimpressive figure, a literal nobody followed by hundreds of people for no apparent reason, a guy you want to punch really hard – but can’t decide whether it’s because of the fake smile, condescending tone, arrogant behavior, stupid clothes (which his followers copy – much to your dismay) or all of that together.

Saving the best for last: Phupar is the only character with an arc – a sad and tragic one – and Prem truly brings him to life. Hiding inner struggles, secret doubts and desires – that’s something Prem portrays very well, and not for the first time. Phupar’s fall starts before the events of the show and we get only small hints of that: Prem’s kind and gentle, but inexplicably sad face lets us know that not all is well. The more Prem smiles in "Not My Father!", the scarier it gets. Initially it is a forced smile hiding problems eating him from the inside; later it becomes the smile of a madman, possessed and cunning, cold, calculating. During his final confrontation with Ploy, after a moment of weakness, Phupar smiles again, seemingly full of joy – but his eyes cast the same flashes of insanity as Kan’s eyes during his confrontation with Thap in ep. 9 of "My Magic Prophecy". Seems like GMMTV discovered that it’s actual actors can portray more complex characters – and that they can convincingly portray villains. The truly disturbing part of Phupar’s story is that we don’t get a full explanation of his downfall. Did he turn dark just because he wanted to be popular, adored and loved again? Was it egoism and nothing more? What really happened to him in ep. 3 – was he actually hallucinating or just being manipulated into believing he’s hallucinating? Whatever it was: lost, confused and abandoned he followed the only remaining path – to the abyss. Every time the real Phupar came out from behind the facade, digging himself out from beneath the crazy, I felt sorry for him, I wanted to hug him – and that’s Prem’s doing too. Well done, sir, very well done indeed.

Mu-Te-Luv: Not Your Father

Os próximos quatro episódios, Mu-Te-Luv: Not Your Father, foram simplesmente um caos delicioso. A história gira em torno de uma seita/culto secreto, que tá conquistando um monte de gente pela província, e a coisa só vai ficando mais maluca conforme tudo se desenrola. A Ploy, toda apaixonada pelo Phupha, resolve se juntar a ele nessa missão de infiltração pra tentar expor a família Chantharusati. Só que, claro, ela também tá indo com a esperança de se aproximar mais do Phu… e as coisas não saem nem um pouco como ela imaginava.

Lá dentro, ela conhece o maravilhoso Wutthikrai, e sim, eu me derreti um pouquinho, que na verdade é um policial disfarçado e acaba ajudando ela e o Phupha a fugir de lá. A ideia de ter um culto bizarro, com um “Pai” que se acha um deus, foi uma das melhores escolhas criativas até agora. E eu juro que não consegui levar ele 100% a sério porque, por algum motivo, achei ele a cara da blogueirinha kkkkk.

E aqui, uma pausa pra aplaudir: o Prem arrasou muito como Phupha. Ele começa como esse jovem ativista cheio de ideais e, aos poucos, vai enlouquecendo com toda a manipulação do culto. A atuação dele foi intensa, convincente e bem construída. Já o Nani… eu sou suspeita, né? Além de lindo, ele tava divertidíssimo como o policial atrapalhado com “magias” que nunca funcionavam, eu ri horrores com ele. E a Pern, então? A mulher tava incrível! A cena dela fingindo ser a mãe pra enganar o “Pai” foi simplesmente uma delícia de assistir.

Eu vi umas pessoas falando mal dessa parte, mas honestamente? Eu adorei. Fogem do clichêzinho padrão e abraçam a loucura de um jeito que funciona. Caótico, divertido e bem mais criativo do que eu esperava.

Une bonne série pour rire et réfléchir

Ce qui commence comme une série un peu absurde transmets au fil de ces épisodes une morale intéressante et qui pousse à réfléchir. Les personnages sont attachants, en particulier Wutkrai. C'est le premier rôle comique de Nani et il s'est débrouillé comme un chef!
Je recommande vivement si vous voulez passer un bon moment.

Non ho veramente parole per esprimere quanto abbia amato questa storia, è senza ombra di dubbio una genialata.
Sono veramente colpita da come questa trama, che sembrava così semplice, potesse complicarsi così tanto, eppure sono riusciti a fare entrare tutto in soli 4 episodi.
La prima lezione che impariamo è: ASSOLUTAMENTE NON UNIRTI A UNA SETTA SOLO PERCHÉ LA TUA CRUSH TE LO CHIEDE. É vero che l’amore rende ciechi eppure non esiste fare ste cagate solo perchè la tua crush ti ha messo la faccia da cucciolo davanti agli occhi e ha fatto pure lo sguardo seducente, please non farti truffare.
Ploy è una ragazza veramente sincera e pura, ha sempre amato Phun per quello che era, per la sua gentilezza e per la sua persona in generale; quanto a Phun, beh non si può dire lo stesso. Credo che Phun sia un personaggio molto più complicato di quello che si vede, è ammirevole pensare che abbia lasciato tutto quello che aveva costruito solo perchè ormai era diventato un oggetto, una faccia che in fin dei conti non aveva anima, a nessuno interessava se l’avesse o meno. Le intenzioni erano veramente profonde e il suo essere attivista mostrava un interesse per la società. Purtroppo il primo sbaglio che ha commesso è stato quello di non cambiare poi così tanto, anche da attivista usava il suo bel faccino, come se fosse troppo abituato o semplicemente non sapesse come fare realmente dato che non dipende tutto da sé, ma anche dal modo in cui gli altri lo vedono e trattano.
Ploy penso sia stata l’unica persona ad amarlo per quello che è, eppure dopo 10 anni di crush di cui 3 passati nello stesso fottutto club, Phun non ricordava nemmeno il suo nome… penso che questo era proprio il primo segnale che mostrasse appieno come in fin dei conti a Phun non è mai interessato nemmeno della gente del suo stesso club (non è che conta poi chissà quante persone, dopo 3 anni mi aspetto che conosca i nomi di tutti).
Credo che se dobbiamo dare una colpa a qualcuno quella è di Phun perchè Ploy ha sempre fatto quello che l’avrebbe portata quanto più vicino a Phun, mai ha deciso per sé così tanto da ritrovarsi addirittura immischiata in una setta religiosa… Ma poi se fosse solo questa la colpa di Phun non sarebbe poi tanto un problema (per chi non l’avesse capito intendo lo sfruttare Ploy per il suo piano, dato che è stato così egoista da pensare che tutte le donne erano attratte da lui in maniera superficiale e solo per il suo bel viso); lui ha tante colpe così come tante cose che comprendo. É un’anima buona che però si è fatta travolgere dalla situazione creata dagli altri così tanto che alla fine non è rimasto nulla se non la sua coscienza sporca e il suo ego puntato a mille.
Si capisce che per me fin dall’inizio non andava tanto giù il fatto che Ploy stesse ancora appresso a Phun e lo è stata pure fin troppo dopo.
Per quanto riguarda la situazione della loro indagine alla setta mi ha fatto genuinamente morire tutto quello che la riguardava e come Phun subito si sia fatto conquistare dal loro pensiero. Ero veramente dubbiosa sul ruolo esatto di Wutkrai, sono rimasta scioccata e felice nel sapere che in realtà era un poliziotto sotto copertura. Inutile dire che da quel momento ho shippato a morte lui e Ploy, troppo belli assieme.
In generale la setta era molto particolare così come il suo capo, lui secondo me a livello emotivo è completamente uguale a Phun, per questo entrambi erano perfetti per il ruolo di padre della setta.
Dopo l’incidente ero un pò preoccupata per la situazione del padre in giro, mi dispiaceva un pò per Phun con tutte quelle allucinazioni che lo rendevano pazzo e infine ho amato OGNI SINGOLO MOMENTO di Wutkrai e Ploy.
Quando poi il padre è stato scoperto era decisamente prevedibile che Phun seguisse le sue orme grazie a quel libro eppure il ruolo che Ploy ha in tutto ciò non lo comprendo. Sia il padre precedente che Daddy Phun erano fissati con l’importanza nella setta della presenza della madre, in fin dei conti si trattava solo della loro ossessione per Ploy perché era giusto di immagine sta poretta.
La cosa secondo me più inaspettata è stato il fatto che Ploy veramente si è fatta persuadere da Phun, tutt’ora stento a credere che dopo tutta la roba di prima lei avesse ancora il coraggio di dargli una seconda opportunità. Io sinceramente scioccata che lei ci credesse realmente, dico io sta gente ti da tutti sti soldi e te pensi che questa società creata da Phun sia veramente tanto legale?! meglio che non parlo, l’amore è tosto. Poi scusate ma con Wutkrai che ti tratta da dio mi stai a dire che è sempre meglio Phun… purtroppo lo sapevo e pure bene.
A questo punto ho amato la collaborazione tra la sua migliore amica e Wutkrai per salvarla da quel posto, ho letteralmente gridato quando ho visto come Wat avesse salvato il contatto di Ploy: “ploy nel mio cuore”...quanto è amorino dai.
L’ultimo episodio beh è stato pieno di alti e bassi in tutti i sensi, stavo per piangere con tutta la scena dell’ipotetica morte di Wutkrai mentre vai a vedere lui ha deciso di fare il drammatico per far sì che Ploy si dichiarasse… lo perdono solo perché è lui.
Alla fine tutti hanno imparato una lezione tranne Phun, si era capito già da un bel punto che una persona come lui non si può riprendere facilmente eppure ci speravo che alla fine avesse imparato almeno qualcosa.
In ogni caso la mia considerazione finale è che si tratta di una storia fatta veramente bene, ha tutto: è iconica, seria, divertente, la romanticità non manca e soprattutto è stata scritta veramente bene… non manca nulla, l’ho trovata genuinamente interessante da guardare.
Per il cast non ho parole, ottimo in tutti i sensi, ognuno ha recitato la propria parte da dio. Volevo giusto aggiungere qualche complimento per Prem. Lo seguo da tanti anni ormai, eppure non l’ho mai visto recitare COSÌ dannatamente bene, ero genuinamente sorpresa. Ho sempre pensato fosse bravo ma appunto non a livelli top, se tipo 3 anni fa o più mi avessero detto che Prem sarebbe migliorato così tanto, probabilmente non ci avrei creduto. Ammiro tanto il modo in cui la sua recitazione sia stata meravigliosa.

+ vorrei giusto aggiungere un piccolo commento riguardo il voto che ho deciso di dare a questa storia. Capisco che dare 10 è praticamente dire che ci troviamo davanti a una serie di alto livello in tutti i sensi, e capisco che questo non è poi più di tanto il caso. Però c'è da dire che voto non solo la qualità ma anche l'esperienza e personalmente mi sono tanto divertita guardando questa serie, ero curiosa su tutto e mi ha preso ogni singolo secondo, quindi in conclusione il 10 è un voto complessivo che racchiude in due cifre la mia opinione finale. Sicuramente è una serie che non arriva ai livelli per esempio di Not Me (a cui pure ho dato 10) ma a modo suo se lo merita lo stesso. In fin dei conti si tratta di una serie che va sul comico, con l'aggiunta di vari aspetti veramente interessanti da guardare, per questo non deve essere perforza una rappresentazione chiara di una setta e di come funziona.
