someone wrote on my TL, ming and Joe has huge age gap but I'm not aware of it since the series doesn't really…
in the novel they have a 9-10 year age gap, ming is supposedly 20 and joe is around 29/30. i'd say that the series probably doesn't emphasize it perhaps because it wouldn't be very believable to say so considering how the actors look? for me, i headcanon that the age gap for mingjoe is like 4-5 years considering how they look in the series but to each their own.
but yea i do think the series is intentionally not emphasizing on the age gap because the characterization of series and novel are very different so it may not make sense to keep the same age gap if the characterization is already different from the novel
Actually in the novel, i think ming does beg for forgiveness and cry a few times in the second half of the novel…
and it's not that he barely changed in the novel. he still gets jealous and possessive easily but only for joe once he realizes that joe is the person he loves. the only thing that is mildly manipulative in the second half is him trying to make joe 2.0 his fwb bc he misses joe 1.0 (they're the same person of course but ming doesn't know that)
Sorry, one more thing. Did Ming look sadder here than in the novel? Because from what I've heard, Ming barely…
Actually in the novel, i think ming does beg for forgiveness and cry a few times in the second half of the novel but i think the series will emphasized it much more because its a live action adaptation

Correction : Yada is not a newbie but has previous works. Wonderful they've casted mostly experienced actresses…
It feels like the goal of the Dhevaprom series is to have more experienced lakorn actresses paired up with the CH3 rookie actors who are to become the core/most pushed/main CH3 actors in the coming years. I think with the exception of Peak and Gulf who both had one previous CH3 lakorn as main actor, for the other three Jutathep Jr boys (Mike, Kao, Tate) Dhevaprom is their first leading role at CH3 I believe.
The first two was ok,but I don't think i can continue watching it not because the drama is lacking(as only one…
I think what separates Joe from all other 188 main characters (a series of novels by the same author in which features a scum male lead who hurts the main character and has to chase them in the 2nd half of the novel (often badly)) is his inability to hold a grudge against the people who hurt him in his past life and his determination to start anew in his second life as Joe 2.0, it just so happens that his streak of miseries keep hitting him.
I fully support you dropping the series if you think it's not for you though because as novel readers I think we both agree that Ming is pretty much irredeemable but a friend who also read the novel once said:
"you're supposed to hate yan mingxiu allegedly but i just couldn't, not even in his scum era, because he was so obvious and so oblivious and so set in his own ideas he kept gaslighting himself into not noticing things. this could have gotten frustrating pretty easily, but again, everything feed into the delicious, delicious suffering. that being said, and because it doesn't seem to be a popular opinion... i think it's important to empathise with both of them, or at least sympathise, for maximum enjoyment of all that angst. you cannot cry over yan mingxiu's pain if you want him to get hit by a bus. "
and i think they're right in saying that the story can only be enjoyed if we can empathise with both characters.
that's a very good start I really wanna know how it went downhill from there... literallyðĪ. I have a question…
No they just had him in such a different hairstyle, which is usually something that can define your entire look. you can see him in daily life with his hair down and his glasses like this and i still think he looks the same as he did 3 years ago tbh https://twitter.com/Arin14tt/status/1784467951753871668/video/1
I think it's very important to note that this story is NOT of bodyswapping genre but transmigration genre. I won't go into detail as not to spoil the series but if you think a bit deeper about the difference between these genres, I think the way the series is executing this transmigration is already very good and it makes a lot of sense
has anyone understood whether the ming with the tong is platonical or not?
Ming likes Tong romantically. Tong is straight and dating Ming's sister but he knows Ming likes him so he uses that to his advantage to be on his good side of his in-law family

uncut version always. the cut version cut quite a lot of important details and sometimes even scenes between main character, the cut version exists only because this series was airing on tv and they had to cut to fit the limited screentime <3
