Nna-odio

This reminded me of it!!!

I've always hated when something I did for fun and excelled in, became something I had to do and excell in. People dumping their expectations on you after seeing you excell at a hobby, and now suddenly it's a chore. I've never felt it in the magnitude Keen does though, somehow I've always escaped the bigger expectations by just not trying, as I know when I actually try, I get handed a chore list of goals to soar through before 10, 20, 30.

Unlucky Bae are real life highschool aged playing college students and Weirdo 101 are college aged playing highschoolers 😂

The way the characters stand when talking reminds me of of a school play. They are rarely facing each other squarely but instead face forward with only their faces turned towards each other. I don't think it's unique to this series, but something about the way this series is filmed and edited makes it stand out even more. To be honest it's a bit distracting

Niran's father's words sounded so familiar.

Not really sure. We'll have to wait for her to either confirm or deny

Awwwwnnn I liked his old MDL pic

I won't say depicting something in a piece of art, especially one that reflects reality necessarily endorses or doesn't endorse it. I get that maybe an artist that is vehemently against something might go out of their way to demonise it, but some people see it as a fact of life and write their stories showing it as just that. For example someone who is vehemently against smoking and drinking could have a main character who does either or both, an atheist who is anti God writing a story can include religious people who are portrayed in positive light, or in a neither positive nor negative light - just as people. This is just my thoughts though

I wonder if I should become a KritMochi defender? It'd be fun to go counter culture and work my hardest to make them the good guys. Who knows, I could even use it on my resumè when applying for PR jobs

oh the possibilities

what do you think about the first 3 episodes?

I was just thinking about it, and it's possible Khobfa was taken in by Rin's family a short time after his parents deaths, or maybe before

😂😂😂

For me he feels like the next Aj and JJ (gmmtv watermark). I hope I'm wrong though

Khobfa is such a cutie. His fake bad boy persona is so endearing, plus the way it's obvious he's had a crush for a while. Although not to be mean or anything, but sometimes he genuinely walks like he needs to take a shit and I can't help but laugh 😂

So true. Episode 1 showed some minor flaws that could be expanded upon, then redeemed, instead they made Rin a perfect cupcake(whom I love btw), and all of his character flaws we know off are basically stuff Krit is spouting, making Krit look like a liar who is just running a smear campaign against his old boyfriend to his current crush, adding to their unlikeability. If the writers could only have SHOWN half of what Krit is claiming,(maybe at some point let him not listen to Khobfa or actually stalk Krit when he is not fixated on Khobfa's curse or something), I don't think Krit and Mochi would be as unanimously hated. Maybe it'd be a more even split between Rin defenders and KritMochi defenders, but at least one can hold more sympathy towards them

thank you

Usually people love the second couple way more

I don't think Rin's an angel. I think Rin can be the type of person who cares a lot about image, how both he and his boyfriend are seen. That's why he hid the cake and couldn't stand Khobfa disliking him in the first episode. But I don't think he's ever really been a bad person. He genuinely cared for his ex and his friends, although his actions could have been better. He is genuinely the type of person who wants others to love the people he loves, so he does misguided things like hiding his BF's gift and so on. I think on Rin's part, his arc is going to be how to learn how to love someone the way they want to be loved, and not the way the public should want them to be loved.

As for Krit and Mochi, their problem apart from the way they always think Rin is obsessed with them, it's the way the story cannot commit to letting them be wrong. They are supposed to be sympathetic villains, the key word here is "villains," but the story just can't let them be villains. They say stuff about Rin to justify their logic which is immediately contradicted by the story's own portrayal of Rin, but for some reason we are earnestly supposed to believe them. Another aggregious thing they do is how they force romantic moments initiated by Krit this early on. This is another contradiction as I feel like the story is trying to act like Krit is still in love with Rin, yet when he initiates, there doesn't seem to be an internal conflict. The conflict is instead given to Mochi, making Krit feel insincere in both words and actions.
