"Who do you think I am?" "What you need to ask is what creature I am" hello twilight
I have to start with what rly bothered me the most.
Music: It makes no freaking sense! When Mark steps out of the pool you can't understand what Tong's feeling bcuz the music is so confusing. It seems like he finds Mark hot but the music is trying to go for a mysterious feel but it isn't actually a mysterious music. I feel like I'm going insane just by trying to explain it.
Also every time Tong thinks abt the past the music isn't making sense. It takes me completely out.
Also it sometimes feels so intense but the scene, even tho is intense, isn't directed in an intense manner.
Directing: Pretty decent at times. I hated the minute Miss Nuan (the orphanage woman) came to ask who allowed Tong to play when there's literally only Tonkla in the shot. (I wonder who let Tong play...) Also the window shot looked better in the trailer. It made me laugh in the ep.
Acting: Honestly not as bad as I expected it to be. I know Joss is good and I watched Gawin in the past (KMA, DBK, NM, Enchante, P10Ls) and this is a different role from his previous ones and honestly I don't think it suits him at all. He doesn't have the face (and the body, let's be honest, he is muscular) for it. He is sharp and manly when the character is supposed to be cheerful and soft. I just don't believe he needs help with protecting himself or that he is naive. He is bigger than most ppl he is around only Joss makes him look small.
Side note: I love Joss and Gawin chemistry irl. They're so sweet and soft to watch. And seem very close and match eachother well. I just don't think Gawin was casted well in this.
Story: I was laughing so hard when Mark introduced himself to Tong as vampire. So twilight, so cringe. I know that it's hard to write vampires in a non cringe manner but that was something else.
I didn't like how they did the flashbacks to the past cause it was so random and messy. And tbh I just felt like they put so many moments just to get the ep runtime. It felt forced and unnecessary.
Overall I'm disappointed and now I'm scared abt revamp.
