I don't really like director New (Perfect10liners, Fourever You, we are).
Ha? That Aof is senior director of content of GMMTV. Do you mix it up with the Aof of Domundi? That's two different persons. I just said that a production company is doing what the company which hired them is asking for.

First of all, most people liked them. If you do don't like them, that's your problem, but most viewers did. Second Wabi Sabi is a production company and GMMTV is a distrubtion company. GMMTV has their own production company but they can't produce alll the shows themselves. They will always let other companies produce some stuff for them.

I like the director who also did "Until We Meet Again", "Between Us" and "Absolute Zero"... Perfect 10 Liners and all the other shows were payed by GMMTV with the influence of GMMTV. "New" is excactly doing what GMMTV wants him to do.
I don't wanna write harsh / disrespectful things here (like - unfortunately - a lot of people are doing on MDL)…
It's still a Wabi Sabi production even when it's payed for by GMMTV. And I don't think it's a bad choice, the problem is GMMTV which is meddling too much making a series without characters, just play it safe to please the fangirls.
Now that the series has aired, it's better than I though it would be. Looks like the project going from Studio…
You do know that the productions is still Wabi Sabi even when it's not mentioned in the credits and of course the director is the founder of Wabi Sabi. So, it's still Wabi Sabi with GMMTV producers and staff.
Ep 2 was a considerable drop from Ep 1, but that's typically GMMTV.
Naaah, that's tooooooo much for all the problematic stuff in it.
That maybe so, but the problem is it reflects on reality. Fans watch BLs and say gay sex is gross or as it happens the lead is really gay and thats gross. And I think WTF? There are enough practices in heterosexual sex I find gross, but that's never shown in any heterosexual drama besides rape which is always negative. At least I never saw a story where a woman is raped and they life happily ever after. If you want to watch dark or sad series you can do so, but they are mostly not "rewarded" by fans. For example "Happy of the End" or "180 Degrees Longitude Passes Through Us". The first is one of the few which also show heteros can be sick bastards and the second one shows how the pressure of society does hinder people from a happy life. I ask the question, if this storypoints were necessary to make the series and I say "no". They did not need to include that. If Wei just would not act like a homophobic prick it would have elevated the series. And Chi Cheng as gay man would not think a gang-rape is a good punishment.
So disappointed they turned this into comedy, they should have stuck to the first trailer concept
they will mix it, it's neither a comedy nor a drama nor something else... it will be the typical fangirl appeal... maybe at least the story makes sense...
I would not weight that so much, because it was overplayed for dramatic effect. It's not that he hate on the doctor…
I guess it was done to protect the actors because in the city filmed there will be an international summit and everytime when something like that happens, the censorship authority will put pressure on the production company and the actors. That's why the last episodes were rushed out. So, I speculate they did that really for self protection.
The did de-toxic the story from the book, but they did not de-homophobic the lead. That I agree with. But I think they did not think of the consquences or making it more real. That happens when woman write for women and a woman directed for women :)
Regarding your "elephant in the room": I would venture to describe Wu So Wei as the most homophobic lead…
I would not weight that so much, because it was overplayed for dramatic effect. It's not that he hate on the doctor or beat him up or anything of that. But it was really unnecessary. But fangirls love that.
Top/Bottom: That's why I was pissed they cut the scene when Wei topped Chi Cheng. Maybe that's in the cut 7 minutes of the finale.
But I agree they did not consider the ramifications.

Compared to Korea it's a 0 out of 10.
