What a stupid show in the end. If it was that easy for First to forgive Sprite they should have done that 4 or 5 episodes ago! Sprite didn't explain why he lied ("I'm sorry I lied, I was afraid of losing you..."), Zee didn't apologize for jeopardizing FirstSprite's relationship with his bitchy attitude (this wasn't even addressed). And as usual in asian series, everything is resolved nicely and cutely even though it's not earned (wtf was the parents dining scene?). 5.5/10
Are they not goint to address the age gap? I was waiting for Sahara to express some discomfort because of their ages and the fact he's a teacher... Did I miss something ?
Oh I get you point and I'm saying 3rd pov doesn't mean you leave out the whole storyline for the viewers to guess. If so we wouldn't have movies like LOTR or tv show like Desperate Housevives. The screenwriter/director chose to have Wansarut's sister tells their story this way. This is the part I'm criticizing. Why ? Phaya could have remembered it during his convo with her. She could have trigged his memories. I don't care what narrative technique was used. I'm pointing out the result: 2 minutes montage to portray such an important love story = meh, it didn't move me. I do hope we'll see the story from PhayaTharn's pov.
Good episode, better than the previous one. But I'm sorry I couldn't get invested in the past life storyline. One moment they're meeting for the first time and the next they're lovers cuddling under a tree. That's it ? How did the romance happen ? Why did they fall for each other ? How can I connect with their eternal love if it's showned in less than 2 minutes? The mythology is so interesting and they made it such a central part of the story that I was expecting more. This deserved a full episode or at least 30 to 40 min. Can't wait to see how they're going to deal with Chalothon. Like, I keep waiting for Phaya to awaken some powers and beat him π€£
The love I have for these silly guys :-) The series is still funny. Haruta is even more adorable than before. Maki is still reserved and I wish he would show more tenderness to Haruta, cause we all remember he chased after him lol.
Is this Babe's first acting job??? If so then it's understandable Because I find his acting bland and lacking…
I don't know. Babe is good, at least he was very good in the first episodes. But I agree with you that sometimes he misses the mark. But is it his fault or the director tells him to act like this? Cause sometimes I wonder if Tharn's passive behavior and blank stare is to indicate he's under the influence of Dr Slowmotion (I don't know, it's just a supposition).
I also feel like the series was shot in reverse cause I really felt BillyBabe's chemistry and Babe's acting chop in the first 4 episodes, and then not so much, as if the two just met and were getting used to their roles. It could be possible, you can see the hairstyles aren't the same during the same episode.
Anyway, Babe is a newbie and as such he's doing a very good job.
I love slasher movies/series so I like DFF despite its flaws. The boys are dumb but it's a requirement in slasher movies π. The series is entertaining for now but I think 12 episodes is too much. The acting is indeed mediocre except for Ta, Cooper and Mio. Since it's a horror series I know we're not having a happy ending but I want PhiJin to end up together π€‘
Instead of saying that the series is just not their cup of tea, people will rather say that it's bad and will…
No. It means having a critical mind and using it. You can like something and still point out its flaws. The problem with not using objectivity is that you wear rose tinted glasses when you like a series but somehow when you don't like another series you know how to criticize it...I'm having a hard time with this double standard. I'm always watching many series at the same time (BL or not), some I like more than others. But I still point out what I like and what's not working. That's something that's becoming more and more difficult to do nowadays cause as soon as you express an unpopular pov people call you a hater.
The good: - Nat, a great actor that made this episode bearable. - The romance part is finally on track.
The bad: - Boring episode. Part one was too long and focused on people we didn't know. Weird narrative choice but ok. I understand the parallel they wanted to make between these guys and PhayaTharn's predicament but still, the whole plot was wonky and filmed in such a pretentious artsy way (yes, I also understand that was to mirror Art's broken mind). - The pacing is giving me wiplash. The whole episode was dark, sad. But as soon as they finished the meeting, we were back to funny bgm, sweet talk and love scene. - About the love scene... Never thought I would say this but I didn't need it today. I know we waited weeks for it to happen but after the last two episodes, this felt a bit rushed. I mean, Tharn was being a b*itch to Phaya, refused to acknowledge his feelings for him and suddenly they're fucking? Yeah no. A simple reconciliation and a kiss would have been enough. Also, what's wrong with purple light, and the weird cuts? Please don't do that. It cheapen the scene. - Have you ever seen a psychiatrist this involved in an ongoing case? Not me. Cause it's not protocol. Dr Long Face being there everytime the team was talking shop was infuriating. He's not supposed to be present during the team meeting. - How come Tharn doesn't see that Dr Long Face's is goading Phaya? The fact that he talked about Phaya's mental state in front of everyone should have been the clue for Tharn to understand he's not a good person. - The whole plot with Tharn's parents and Montree? I don't know, I don't feel it. There's not enough episodes for them to tackle the reincarnation plot and deal with Montree (who I'm sure is responsible for the lieutenant's death). Feels like they bit more than they could chew.
