Knot Episode 1 Reactions
While I am very excited for another Omegaverse story this first episode was lackluster. — The characters and world were horribly/barely introduced. How can Phatsa not know about the Omegaverse? Why doesn‘t everyone know about it? Why are his friends (& Sangnuea) so hush-hush about it , as if it’s some kind of secret mafia organisation, no one can choose whether they want to be a part of it, and then tell him anyways as if it‘s common sense? Why was the explanation of the Omegaverse split into two conversations on two separate days? (I have an inkling why**) — Generally the dialogues were horribly stiff and not flowing at all it was kinda painful to witness. What is Phatsa‘s life like? Fighting with bad people on the street and hanging around the café of his buddy? That‘s all we know about him. And that he graduated with honours. But what he studied? 🤷♀️ Since his life‘s purpose now is being forcfully bonded to a stranger his personal life probably won‘t be important anymore. So, why establish it? 🙄 — My perception is that Nakhun entered the café after the heat incident happened… So, how in the world did Phatsa’s heat pheromones not hit Nakhun with a force as hard as our dearest, truck-kun? But the cup he touched for a few seconds carried his scent for days…? sure. — I really missed the scene with them crossing each other on the street which causes an uncontrolled rut. That still could‘ve happened when he entered the café and smells the heat pheromones causing a rut, so he frantically runs through the streets leading him to Phatsa who‘s fighting off those guys… speaking of that fighting scene: I thought they would reshoot it. While it was fine in the pilot/trailer it makes almost no sense to me that Nakhun would stop to stop a fight he sees in the middle of the night (he has 4 bodyguards, why do it himself? ye, they‘re not with him in that scene but when you‘re so used that…). I doubt he smelled Phatsa from far away… as it is established he only smells him when he‘s in close proximity. — There were so many scenes that were just long but didn‘t add anything to the character or world establishing. Phatsa’s heat was a quite long scene where I thought he would loudly ask some questions to the universe: „Why do I feel hot? What is happening to me? What’s wrong with me? Where is this suddenly coming from? Could this be because I am an Alpha? I need to go to a doctor.“ but no, we silently struggle in the café so our friends who are very familiar with the omegaverse notice nothing, then we just go home and endure it. — The scene at the bar… „here your welcome drink“ *sits down as if to have a conversation* „anyways I have to go somewhere else, enjoy“. There definitely was a scene cut out. All those (silent) scenes made the episode rather slow while I expected it to be a little quicker and similar in style to the pilot/trailer. — **I can already feel that they might stuggle with all the characters they‘re trying to handle here (to further „introduce“ Sangnuea they split the explanation into two convos). We get an extra brother that was nowhere in the pilot and we haven‘t even met the women of the story. (According to the trailer) We already know all the brothers will get their lovestory. Will the women end up with each other, too? Now That would be interesting especially if they‘re ABO as well. — Production value, the fight scenes and videography were good. Also the visual effects of the pheromones look very good. So there‘s still hope. — While this was a disappointing first episode to me I still believe that it can get better. Fingers crossed 🤞

Achei um primeiro episódio introdutório extremamente lento, com algumas cenas desconexas e desnecessariamente longas.. Vamos aguardar os próximos episódios que deverão ser um pouco mais eletrizantes e conflitantes.

The pilot and the trailer looked so interesting and promising. Maybe I had high expectations? Idk. The whole 'smelling from coffee cup' was a bit weird? Biting on the first meeting is not sitting right with me. When I watched the pilot & trailer, I didn't mind it much. But now, I am noticing many BLs with forced relationships. I would have LOVED forced proximity. But this... try getting to know each other, guys.
I see the potential. I am waiting for things to get better :)

The series appears to be quite well-produced overall. In Episode 1, the focus is mainly on sharing information and building the plot, which can be really helpful for establishing the foundation of the story. The main character has been introduced, but since I don't have much experience with Thai dramas, there's a bit of a struggle for me to differentiate between the characters at this early stage; many of them have a similar style and demeanor, making it challenging to tell who is who at times. Nevertheless, despite this initial confusion, the show is coming across as engaging and intriguing so far. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds and how the characters develop as the series progresses.

First episode was weird, was it just totally rewritten and different from the pilot? Where was the scene where they passed one another on the street? That was so much better in my opinion. I'm not mad about the coffee shop setting but smelling him on a coffee cup just seems a bit weak, plus where are all the other customers? How did he manage to find him at the end? Was he just driving around with his head out the window sniffing him out?? 🤣 Would've been good to have gotten an initial meeting before going straight into biting. I really hope this picks up because I want to love it! 🤞🙏

subtitles are trash. first ep is a bit exposition. sound production is trash. going for the neck to a forever bound on the first meeting is a bit insane but ok, im down. the teasers in the end are actually so good, im excited. but its giving low budget and rushed production

This episode definitely felt a bit slow but it was good that with this type of series we get an episode where it focuses on character intro and the world build. As for boat and oat, im definitely liking oat's character alot more so far than i did in my stubborn. And boat i feel like he done well this episode but i need to see more of him to say anymore. As for the world bulding there could be some improvement but it doesnt bother me much. So id say this episode was pretty good. Omegaverse has so many different versions and ways that authors and shows can adapt it so im very interested in seeing how the show continues with it. And it looks like based on the end and preview the pace might start picking up next episode.

Estaba emocionado por una serie omegaverse ya que no es facil adaptarla, pero su forma de llevar las cosas o situaciones es demasiado mediocre para ser un bl del 2026. Por favor dejen de apreciar serie mediocres ya que eso puede causar que normalicen este tipo de series vacias, pero destaco que los efectos de las feromonas son muy buenos.
