As someone who’s in a long distance relationship for 7 months now, all I can say is I relate to what Tine was…
You make valid points but I'll have to disagree with you about the lack of chemistry. Bright and Win have amazing chemistry and I think because of how close they are in real life, it really shows on screen. Some of the time it seems like they are genuinely acting like themselves, which is really refreshing to see. When I meant joke, I meant how after sarawat says 'my relationship has become long distance', P'dim replies with 'you think __ and __ is long distance??' (sorry forgot the place names). I think that part is meant to be funny to show how 'ridiculous' the situation is. But yea maybe they wanted that crying scene to showcase Win's skills as an actor rather than it working for the plot. It definitely isn't a+ storyline but it was still extremely enjoyable for me. I guess for me I watch it for the actors as I've watched gmmtv for a while and know most of the faces. But if you are here for the plot itself I can agree there are definitely some holes. If anything I would have thought the DimGreen storyline was a bit too much and over the top.
Fun little fact, Win wasn't meant to cry in the original script. They did two takes and decided to keep the one he cried in because it was on the spot and spur of the moment. I personally thought it was a great scene and really showed how much Win has improved in acting and improv, given this is his first drama.

Yes that is correct. I have experienced that first period of loss. Looking back, It probably didn't even matter if it was 2 weeks. That first stage of being apart for the very first time would always hurt the most I think

Funnily enough, my first long distance timeframe was exactly that. 2 weeks. I spent a whole year with him and then he had to go back to his country. It was a period of 2 weeks that I felt the most sadness because it felt so empty after spending a good amount of time everyday and then suddenly not seeing each other. I cried in the first week and he started feeling the sense of loss in the second week. That feeling of longing is a real thing and happens after you realise that dependancy you had on one another. It might be different for you but I've experienced exactly that. The 7 months started after I went back to my own country after my visit and it has gotten so much more manageable. But the first few weeks are tough. And I'm pretty sure the comment Sarawat made about being in a ldr was for comedic purposes because it was followed by a joke. In a previous episode, Sarawat mentioned how he would be busy and wouldn't be able to meet him and Tine even sarcastically commented, saying if he should be sad and cry about it. The truth is, you just don't know how you will react until it actually happens. But anyway, in the end all I want to do is try to hopefully make people know that we won't really understand it if we haven't experienced it. I am just one of those people that relate to that episode because of personal experience, and I wanted to share this in the hopes it will make others widen their perspective a bit more.
The plot of this series was ridiculous! The whole base of all the drama was Dims "hurt" dignity and manliness…
As someone who’s in a long distance relationship for 7 months now, all I can say is I relate to what Tine was feeling. The beginning is so much harder because you don't realise how dependent you become on the other after spending time 24/7 together. I don’t think Tine is exaggerating, especially having never left sarawat’s side ever before. Suddenly not being able to see each other is so hard after being so reliant on one another, but it's when time goes on that it gets better. I thought the one thing these specials did very well was showing the different perspectives that different people have to long distance. There will be people who are more accepting and easier to adapt like Man and Type. Like you said, they show a more mature relationship but not all relationships are like that! There are others who will have that feeling of extreme loss like Tine and Sarawat. It just comes down to the fact we are all different people. Having never experienced what Tine felt does not make it unrealistic. This is coming from someone who has experienced it.
Yeah, my sister and her husband are like this (and they’ve been together for years!). They do everything together…
yea I can understand where you are coming from. there are definitely a few inconsistencies in terms of story development. I guess the reason I like this drama isn't for the story specifically but the actors chemistry. Funnily enough, my first long distance period was 2 weeks as well. I cried immediately on that day he left and for the few days after. He didn't, but it just shows I am a much more emotional person than him. We met up again 2 weeks later and the first thing we did was hug, and chat about everything going on actually (not on the steps mind you). I guess I related to what I was seeing on screen because it was exactly something I went through. People just have different reactions depending on the person and relationship.

yea definitely true! People tend to judge until they've experienced it or seen something like it themselves. We are all different people, so it's obvious we will all have different types of relationships. It applies to any type of human experience. People who can't see past a narrow perspective or only make assumptions based on their own ideas need to learn a lot.
When you see each other, do you you sit on steps and chat, or do you have your partner naked within 10 seconds…
well unfortunately I still haven't been able to meet my significant other as he's in another country. Personally I thought the reunion was very sweet. Considering the first time they meet again is in a public place, (knowing Thailand and it's culture as being pretty conservative when it comes to PDA), and knowing its a fictional story that is quite tame compared to other ones, it was very sweet and perfect for the type of drama it is. As my partner is also from an Asian country, the culture is pretty similar so I understand the cultural differences between western customs. We would never even kiss in public and its just out of respect for others. If you really want to know how I would react in my own reunion, I would probably hug my partner as soon as I saw them but leave the more affectionate actions when we are in private. I guess if you are here to see a bit more intense scenes, this probably isn't the drama for you.
Ok regarding episode 3. As someone who’s in a long distance relationship for 7 months now, all I can say is I relate to what Tine was feeling. The beginning is actually so much harder because you don't realise how dependent you become on the other after spending time 24/7 together. I don’t think Tine is exaggerating, especially having never left sarawat’s side ever before. Suddenly not being able to see each other is so hard after being so reliant on one another but it gets better as time goes on. This is just coming from personal experience.
Well it has been a nice feel good experience so far. I like all the interactions, but i had to set some logic…

Nope I recently found out Off is dating another actress called Mook
I just want to point out that the relationship Offgun currently has, is already such a wonderful thing. It's great that they are able to maintain a relationship that borders friendship (from joking around and being comfortable off camera ) yet still touches on romantic gestures (Gun's kissing and hugging).. It's a rare kind of friendship that many people don't have. Even if Off has a girlfriend, we should be happy that Gun and Off have such a strong bond. I mean just look at how much Off has changed since Gun came into his life (he's more open to show affection and even allows Gun to do whatever he wants) You can tell Off has a softspot for Gun. (I mean how can you ever say no to that face?!?!)
Their relationship is honestly so pure and sweet and I think it should be kept that way. I mean, think if they were actually dating, there would be the possibility of break up and more pressure from fans for them to maintain a relationship. What they have now is enough and I am content with fangirling over the cute gestures they provide each other.
Gun is no doubt my all time favourite actor. He is just so versatile in his roles, from playing submissive cute characters like Rome (Puppy Honey) and Gump (Love love you) to such intense characters like Pun (The Gifted). Tying together his outgoing cute personality in real life, just makes everything about Gun such a great person and actor
But yea maybe they wanted that crying scene to showcase Win's skills as an actor rather than it working for the plot. It definitely isn't a+ storyline but it was still extremely enjoyable for me. I guess for me I watch it for the actors as I've watched gmmtv for a while and know most of the faces. But if you are here for the plot itself I can agree there are definitely some holes. If anything I would have thought the DimGreen storyline was a bit too much and over the top.
