"That kind of framing flattens both the work and the viewersā engagement with it." See all the 10 reviews... it's that most viewers are not critical, use it as escape from daily life and don't think about what's behind it.
It's not about my preferential portrayal, it's about a different portrayal at all, which Domundi does not do. It's always the same, there is no diversity at all.
Again, I did not dislike all of it, I dislike aspects of it. You can read other reviews with lower ratings where I state that I really disliked the story, the characters, whatever.
i mean, looking at your watchlist and the way you rate other series, itās pretty clear that you have a ratherā¦…
It did not dismiss it, otherwise it would have a 4.5 or 3.5 rating. In contrast to most other viewers my ratings really start with 1.0 - because MDL does not allow me to rate it a zero as some shows would deserve.
As you can see it's a 6... which is more than I gave Duang and there I mentioned the redeeming qualities because it needed that in my view. Here I did not see the need to say them. So the total rating is higher than the script rating, so there was something to increase the rating. And it's not catastophical bad as so many other thai shows.
And as a gay man I have the right to rant about a gay company doing stereotypical things in their productions - without even trying something different. I'm bothered by misrepresentation in either gay life or historical settings. And if you consider how they present their couples - as man and woman - it's queerbeating imho. And most viewers turn their brain off and consume and do ask the hard questions like "was it that way 400 years ago" or was it that way in europe 400 years ago. But queer hate came from europe, exported to Asia and Africa and there are many counties with even anti gay laws, imprisonment for gay people and so on. And not every couple is top and bottom, and not every femine man is a bottom either...
always welcome.depends on it... some things should not be protected... but also a good lesson is not just to consume…
Not many... and school does also not help much - depending on the country. As we can see, there is a orange man who has no clue about other countries or other cultures or economy or everything else.
I mean more bad customs, like arranged marriages... still popular in arabic countries and India. Or the muslim culture that a woman is lower than a man - something which is fundamentally wrong. And stupid euphoria when for example woman are allowed to drive a car in Saudi Arabia - WTF?
I donāt entirely agree. The kissing was terrible, Iāll grant you that! But, I really enjoyed the character…
You don't have to. When you compare this couple with their looks at each other and the couple of Fake Fact Lips with their looks at each other - the difference is staggering. Yes, they tried, but the 100% refusal to kiss destroys this series. It's a story about desire and longing - and they can't deliver that.

Most critics are not about the review itself... sadly,,,

depends on it... some things should not be protected... but also a good lesson is not just to consume but research the history.

I can't complain about the second couples chemistry tho. The lead couple was just ok.
That sounds so unrealistic...
