I'm in love. Honestly, I don't know if it's because the series itself was so good or because it's based on one of my favorite novels. My rating might be inflated because of that, but I can't bring myself to rate it lower than a 9.
Ngern and Oat's acting was really good (especially since Oat's real personality is completely different from Dao's, and it must have been difficult to keep a poker face in many scenes). The chemistry between them was wonderful. I'm not ashamed to say that I've watched the last three episodes several times just for the spicy scenes. Ngern is simply perfect as Artchit. I don't know how I imagined him when I read the novel, but ever since I saw the pilot for this drama, I've wanted to give a shout-out to the people responsible for casting.
As a novel reader, I'm certainly a bit disappointed by the massive plot cuts. I'd say these eight episodes of the drama cover about 20-30% of the novel. The entire process of Dao falling in love with Artchit wasn't shown. Certain connections weren't explained. No closure was provided. Dao's past was particularly lacking, as for me, it shaped his entire character. Music, Artchit's second love after Dao, wasn't explored much either. But I still hope these two get a special episode like North and Jo.
Could it have been done better? Of course, even by the same creators and cast—they could have just given the couple 13 episodes instead of 8. But I'm still satisfied.
These 8 episodes are not enough this novel/story has more words than the others so there should be more episodes…
Exactly! North and Jo's story had 30 chapters. And they wrapped it up in 8 episodes. But Dao and Dylan's story has 60 chapters. It should have had 18 episodes. Hell, even 12 would have been better than 8.
okay... i was very happy and then!... what was that??? why did they change the genre like that?? is it part of…
This book is over 250,000 words long. There's a lot going on in it. In the series, they only show the most important moments. This can make some things seem abrupt or out of context. I just hope they'll show Dao's past in the series, though I have my doubts, considering they don't want the series to be violent.
This was a very emotionally difficult episode for me to watch. I did feel empathy for Duang when both Jamie and…
Cutting yourself off from things that hurt you is a good thing, even if it probably hurt. You are strong.
I haven't had that experience myself, but I don't believe in romantic love. Maybe if I met someone like Duang, I'd finally believe. So I hope we both meet our Duangs ;)
Qin’s parents are fucking stupid! Your child became quiet but did not suspect anything? You have cameras but…
I'm not making excuses for them, because they're not the best parents, but... the reason they didn't check the cameras is the same reason they hired a nanny—lack of time. They have careers they consider more important than their child. Unfortunately, such parents exist. That doesn't mean they don't love their child; in their minds, everything has an explanation, such as working hard for the child's well-being so that the child has a good future and financial security. They believe they'll still have time to be parents later (as demonstrated by Qin's father trying to bond with him through guitar). They don't understand that in a child's mind, their excuses don't matter (as shown in the scene with the guitar - Qin does not accept his father's outstretched hand in conversation). Also, from a psychological perspective, I suspect Qin's parents didn't try to comfort him after the whole nanny ordeal because they felt guilty and ashamed.
"or I'll call the police" sir you should have called the police period??? if someone puts their hands…
Yeah, I don't understand the parents' solution to this problem either. Honestly, forget about the police. I'd attack them with a sharp object. Seriously... They just yelled at their child's abuser (and were yelled at by her) and that's it? And this toad can go on to hurt another child because no one knows she has a tendency to abuse children she's supposed to be caring for?
My thoughts while watching this drama were very deep and philosophical... like: "Duang, you damn puppy"; "Duang, you annoying puppy"; "Duang, you cute puppy"; "Duang, you funny puppy." It's official, I request that the dictionary change the picture next to the definition of the word "puppy"!
Is this based on a book or webtoon? Because I NEED to know if one of the main characters is dying. On TikTok, I'm bombarded with information that one of them is dying. And I want to know if it's just something people are predicting, or do they know for sure? Because if I see Nani or Sky die on screen, my heart might not be able to handle it.
It's the kind of dangerous sweetness that says "I'll kill you" every time you forget to breathe because you're distracted by the squealing. It's official. GMMTV wrote my obituary, and my tombstone will read, "She died too young because she choked on sweetness."
To clear everything up: they originally used PorTeeTee for YourSky. But in Duang With You, they switched it to…
I don't mean to sound aggressive, but I don't understand what's weird about that? You know that real gay couples don't usually think of themselves as top and bottom, right? For them, it's just sexual preference (and they usually switch), it has nothing to do with the relationship dynamic. I just can't understand the homophobia (not yours, in general) of BL fans. Just like Por and TeeTee wanted to switch in fiction, but the fans wouldn't let them, imposing imaginary roles on them. And these are the fans who claim they wish their favorite BL couples were real. Hilarious.
