This has fast become one of my weekly favourites. Fluke is so charming and as always the chemistry with his partner is great, plus the place is so beautiful that it makes me want to travel to Thailand even more! Second GL couple also has good vibes... the rating at 7.5 is a crime.
Ok, I'm really starting to wonder how they will fill 12 episodes with how the script is going... ep6 was quite a "meh" for me, although I loved some scenes and some characters (Rose is my MVP up to now!) - I hope they can turn this "jealousy" trope into a growth element instead of a random reason to show them having sex. I also usually love Up as an actor, I've seen all of his roles in the last 6/7 years, but he's not really delivering here... he seems kinda flat and uninspired.
(that said, my heart melt on that close-up in front of the tent, his doe-eyes always hit the right spots!)
I'm a bit late to the party, I just started this yesterday... it was on my watchlist since it aired but never really got the chance to delve into it. First 4 eps flew in the blink of an eye, and I'm liking it so far... I just stopped for a moment to say: although in a similar role, how much did Li Qing change in one year, he looks so frail and young here in respect to PoJ!
Holy moly all the new characters! Phuwin & Great were a nice surprise and I'm in love with the drum girl, who is she? <3
The ritual scene felt so real I had goosebumps! Kudos to Nani, I was really expecting a demon to come out of his body... this guy is like Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, he bounces between amazingly cute to overly dangerous in the blink of an eye!
Every episode is better then the one before, let's keep it up!
Ok, episode one was enough to crush all my hopes for this drama, unfortunately. T_T It might be a subtitle issue but the dialogues are terrible AND the flow of the events feels so weird... I understand the "love/attraction at first sight" but the hotel scenes were so cringe! T_T
TutorYim are lovely and giving it their all as always, but they can't do miracles. I will still watch since it's only 10 eps to show my support but... sigh.
Their 2-minutes cameo in LUaT was a better role than any series they had up to now!
One of the best dramas I've seen in years - it wasn't epic, nor overwhelming, nor majestic... but it was deep and balanced like an immersion in something that feels real, with raw and vivid characters amazingly acted (Santa was great in this role but Perth was even more intense: his Pobmek managed to be so fragile yet strong at the same time).
It kinda felt like a fresh of breath air although the topic was indeed difficult - once again, this director manages to create something "that flows" and that blends very well comedy with depth and real+absurd moments. Kudos to the all the actors, and to the coloring and costumes department because they managed to make this drama so distinct and unique!
Yes, I'm also on team #parentsredemptionarccouldhavebeenbetter, but I feel like giving this drama any less than 10 is a crime against the great idea and effort that all the team put on such a difficult script and topic. So, 10/10 for me, this is a small gem!
Aaaand it's a wrap. Honestly I had some expectations for this series, but it failed to get me invested... mostly because the characters felt sketchy and not fully developed AND because the direction felt a bit chaotic. I also had some issues with many camera shots that felt very weird (I don't know how to explain this since i'm not a native english speaker, but often I felt like the frame was cut in an anti-aesthetic way or the camera was filming from a weird prospective that felt "bad" instead of "artistic").
Anyway! I LOVED AouBoom but I had no doubt I would enjoy their performance (I especially like Aou's acting, he seems like a completely different person at any different role he get casted for!), and it was my first time watching JossGawin which I appreciated but their characters were kinda "meh". I honestly preferred them as friends.
EarthMix as always shine in dramatic roles and Mix for me rocked the entire show: this boy has an amazing range and he can deliver the world even with the smallest blink of an eye. Love him.
Will we get a S3? For sure we will, since this seems to be a format that people like... but I hope we can get more substance in terms of character development: a series like this needs a good script otherwise it's just a bunch of NC scenes.
Krist's character was so good I didn't recognise for a sec 😆
OMG it was really him?? I kept on watching that shaman and thinking, "he looks like Krist... if this is really him than kudos to our boy because he's so nailing this!"
At the beginning, they said Gaysorn’s mom stops giving off that special scent after she has a baby, and now…
I think the "scent" thing hasn't been that clear up to now: they randomly say that "mudan tribe" gives off this scent, but maybe everyone has a different "way" of secerning it? Feels like a hormonal thing.
I agree on the uncle: Scent's father had such a terrified look in his eyes, kinda like he was afraid of his own brother. What I most wonder is, tho': how can a parfume miracolously save a dying man? ^^'
I found myself crying at the kiss scene, Phop's confession was one of the sweetest and most honest I've ever seen and the kiss was so well made! Net is such a good actor, and I'm happy JJ didn't have comedy in this episode because they work so well together in intense scenes...!
I do have to say I can literally feel the want and need Scent has for Kaysorn (the moment the latter releases…
Honestly the plot perse is kinda cringe, and as of now so is the execution... I feel like our boys will have to do some major heavylifting to support the whole drama. XD
I have a (very bad) feeling this might become the 2026's "Oh My Sunshine Night".... just with flowers and butterflies instead of red apples.
For as much as I love PearlPeak AND my daily cringe dose of lakorns, first episode had quite some absurd moments. But ehi, as long as we get to see Pearl's abs and Peak's goo goo eyes, I'm still seated! XD
